What happens when you leave your routine behind to embrace uncertainty? DJ DiDonna, Harvard Business School senior lecturer and founder of the Sabbatical Project, joins Craig Dowden to unpack the real benefits of sabbatical leave, drawn from years of research into hundreds of sabbatical-takers. DiDonna explains why extended leave delivers measurable physical healing, from resolving stress conditions like eczema and ulcers to reducing what he calls functional workaholism. The conversation also covers the confidence and creativity gains people report, the three sabbatical archetypes, and why the benefits of sabbatical leave extend to employers as well as employees.DiDonna draws on interviews with hundreds of sabbatical-takers to show that the benefits of sabbatical leave aren't reserved for the wealthy or the lucky. He argues most people can plan toward a sabbatical five years out by setting aside a percentage of income and identifying a trusted example who has already taken one. The episode also explores why founders and CEOs, despite having more flexibility, often feel trapped by the businesses they built, and how stepping away can reduce key-person risk while creating growth opportunities for junior staff.Throughout, DiDonna distinguishes the benefits of sabbatical leave from those of a simple vacation: vacations swap work tasks for leisure tasks, while sabbaticals create open space for identity change, healing, and experimentation. He closes with micro-moment strategies, like disconnecting for a long weekend, that let listeners borrow some benefits of sabbatical leave without leaving their jobs.Key TakeawaysThe benefits of sabbatical leave include physical healing, with sabbatical-takers reporting resolved eczema, ulcers, and trigger fingers.Sabbatical-takers frequently describe the experience as a peak life event, comparable to a wedding or the birth of a child.Three archetypes shape how people access the benefits of sabbatical leave: the achiever, the explorer, and the seeker.Confidence and creativity gains often outlast the sabbatical itself and carry into everyday work life.Employers benefit too: sabbaticals reveal key-person risk and reduce dependence on any single employee.Emotional recovery from work identity typically takes six to eight weeks before people feel like themselves again.Micro-moments, such as fully disconnected long weekends, offer some benefits of sabbatical leave without quitting a job.Planning a sabbatical five years in advance makes accessing these benefits feel achievable rather than disruptive.Chapters00:57 Introduction and DJ DiDonna's background05:31 Defining what a sabbatical actually is07:55 Why extended time off matters14:32 Reframing sabbaticals as realistic for everyone22:20 Time vs. space: the real difference from a vacation25:19 The emotional journey of a sabbatical28:55 The three archetypes: achiever, explorer, seeker34:02 Financial and logistical planning38:45 Sabbaticals for founders and leaders42:26 Micro-moments: everyday sabbatical practices47:06 Closing thoughts and final adviceGuest ContactWebsite: https://thesabbaticalproject.orgBook page: https://djdidonna.com/big-time-off/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/djdidonnaFAQQ. What are the main benefits of sabbatical leave?A. DiDonna's research points to physical healing, increased confidence, renewed creativity, and stronger organizational resilience.Q. How long until the mental health benefits of sabbatical leave kick in?A. Most people need six to eight weeks before feeling like themselves again, separate from their work identity.Q. Do the benefits of sabbatical leave extend to employers?A. Yes. DiDonna argues sabbaticals reduce key-person risk and reveal overly dependent business processes.

For decades, depression has often been described as the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. But how strong is the evidence behind that idea? This episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to be actively debated and is intended to encourage thoughtful discussion—not to provide individualized medical advice. Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Joanna Moncrieff to examine the science behind the serotonin theory and explore how it shaped modern mental health care. Together, we consider why rethinking our assumptions may open the door to a more complete understanding of depression and recovery. We discuss: • Whether depression is best understood through the lens of a chemical imbalance—or something far more complex • How the serotonin theory shaped modern psychiatry and why it's increasingly being questioned • What current research says about antidepressants, emotional numbing, and informed consent • Why lifestyle, nutrition, trauma, and social connection deserve a larger role in supporting mental health • How a more individualized, whole-person approach could change the way we think about depression and recovery Mental health treatment is deeply personal, and this episode explores one perspective on an area of medicine that continues to evolve. If you're currently taking antidepressants or other prescription medications, don't stop or change your treatment based on this discussion alone. Instead, use it as a starting point for an informed conversation with your healthcare provider. Learn More: Dr. Moncrieff recently participated in an FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

Normally on this show, I'm the one teaching or asking the questions — but today I flipped the script. This is actually a conversation from my wife Shay's podcast, Better Way to Build, where she interviewed me. And we didn't hold back. After 20 years of marriage and 17-plus years of both of us running our own separate businesses, we got real about the actual cost of entrepreneurship — the stuff nobody puts in the highlight reel. Contentment, connection, peace — what it's taken from us, and what it's given us. So stick around, because this one's more vulnerable than what you're used to from me.

By now you've probably seen me post on social media that I sold my condo in Puerto Rico, and the reactions have been... a lot. So let's get into it. In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of why I bought that condo right after my divorce, what it represented to me, and why — three and a half years later — I decided to let it go. This is not a "never sell real estate" episode. This is a "your life changes and so should your money moves" episode. We're talking numbers, we're talking mindset shifts around debt and leverage, and we're talking about what's next: a fixer-upper flip in Florida with my husband, and a bigger PR condo for our family.

Freight audit is one of supply chain's most stubborn cost centers, and the traditional model of catching errors months after the fact is no longer good enough. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Marty Parker are joined by Jason Murray, CEO at Shipium, and Tim Meester, Vice President, Network Performance & Intelligence at Shipium, to discuss the shift from reactive freight audit to always-on, AI-native monitoring. The panel explores why the freight audit industry keeps growing at a 14.2% CAGR even as billing errors persist at 2 to 6% of all parcel invoices, and why every dollar lost to those errors can take 19 to 20 new revenue dollars to recover. They address how delayed, after-the-fact reconciliation lets small pricing mistakes snowball into major margin loss, outlining a vision for continuous, agentic auditing that catches issues before invoices even arrive. By leveraging live data, simulation, and autonomous AI agents, shippers can detect root causes in real time and act on them immediately rather than weeks later. Jason Murray concludes by challenging operators to start building a data-first culture now, before the competitive gap becomes impossible to close.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro  (02:40) Meet Jason Murray and Tim Meester of Shipium (08:36) Jason's journey from Amazon to founding Shipium (12:30) Why freight audit keeps growing yet errors persist (12:47) Auditing as reconciliation hell and the GLP-1 analogy (17:55) Always On Audit reframes reconciliation as monitoring (22:08) Reframing leakage and loss spend as a margin tax (26:47) Where the money actually leaks in parcel billing (33:16) Always on audit versus traditional after the fact review (46:18) Why the data layer has to come first for AI (50:37) Real world use cases where AI catches hidden savings (56:21) Holistic differentiation and the next 24 months for audit Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Jason Murray: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-shipium/ Connect with Tim Meester: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meester/ Connect with Marty Parker: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyparker/ Learn more about Shipium: https://www.shipium.com/ Learn more about Adæpt Advising: https://www.adaeptadvising.com/ Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Have you ever woken up and wondered why? This episode explores the deeper question of why we're here and challenges the idea that work, wealth, and status alone can deliver a meaningful life. We reflect on how modern culture keeps people busy and striving, often without pausing to consider whether they're building the life they were truly made for.Drawing on Psalm 127, we distinguish between labor driven by worldly validation and work rooted in faith and purpose. The central message: ambition and responsibility aren't the problem, but they need to be directed toward serving God rather than constructing our own significance.Key Moments:0:00 Opening and the central question.

What Defines High-capacity Women Leaders In The Business World? High-capacity women leaders are individuals who can multitask effectively due to physiological traits, such as more connective tissue between the brain’s hemispheres, allowing them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This ability often leads them to function at high levels consistently. However, this capability can sometimes lead to high-functioning codependence, where they overextend themselves, neglecting self-care and delegation. Recognizing and managing this balance is crucial for sustainable success. How Can Women Leaders Avoid Burnout While Maintaining High Performance? To avoid burnout, women leaders should recognize that while they are capable of multitasking, it is not necessary to function at high levels constantly. It’s essential to delegate tasks and set boundaries to prevent becoming overwhelmed. By acknowledging the need for support and avoiding the trap of trying to do everything themselves, leaders can manage their responsibilities more effectively and maintain a healthier work-life balance. Why Is Delegation Important For Business Leaders, Particularly In Law Firms? Delegation is critical because it allows leaders to focus on the aspects of their business they are passionate about and excel in. By delegating tasks that are not their strengths, leaders can reduce inefficiencies and prevent burnout. This approach not only fosters a more dynamic and efficient workplace but also enables leaders to perform at their best, contributing to the overall success of the business. How Can Law Firm Leaders Effectively Delegate Tasks? Law firm leaders can delegate effectively by understanding that they are not their business; the business is an entity on its own. Leaders should focus on what the business needs rather than personal preferences for task completion. By hiring people who excel in specific areas and allowing them to take ownership of their roles, leaders can ensure tasks are completed efficiently, freeing them to focus on critical areas of the firm. What Should Leaders Consider When Hiring To Ensure Effective Delegation? When hiring, leaders should adopt the mantra “hire hard, manage easy.” It’s important to invest time in finding the right fit for the business and then provide comprehensive training and clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to guide new hires. This ensures that tasks are completed to the desired standard without the leader having to micromanage, allowing the business to run smoothly and efficiently. How Can Law Firm Owners Incorporate Mindset Shifts And Habits For Better Business Outcomes? Law firm owners can benefit from adopting mindset shifts such as the Pareto Principle, focusing on the most impactful tasks, and maintaining an 80% capacity to prevent burnout. They should also implement daily habits like starting their day with a slow morning routine, reflecting on personal and business priorities. These practices can enhance productivity, improve mental clarity, and lead to greater satisfaction and success in their professional lives. What Practical Advice Can Law Firm Owners Implement To Improve Their Leadership And Business Operations? Law firm owners should remember that they matter and that their actions have significant impacts. By prioritizing self-care, setting clear goals, and maintaining connections with clients and colleagues, leaders can ensure they are operating at their best. Recognizing their value and the importance of their contributions can lead to better decision-making and a more fulfilling professional experience. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Defines High-capacity Women Leaders In The Business World?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"High-capacity women leaders are individuals who can multitask effectively due to physiological traits, such as more connective tissue between the brain's hemispheres, allowing them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.

Every coach says they want more leaders. But most are picturing the wrong level entirely.JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson unpack Level 3 leadership, the one-to-one relational work that has to exist before Level 4 (leading the whole team) ever works, including the Joey Votto story of a star player who took up Spanish and improv classes just to become a better teammate.Whether you've got a team full of quiet glue players or you're still waiting for someone to step up, this conversation will change how you look for leadership on your roster.Chapters(00:00) Intro(02:35) Level 3 vs Level 4, defined(08:33) Leading a team vs leading people(10:42) The glue player nobody calls a leader(15:19) When leadership feels inauthentic(20:15) The soup metaphor(23:26) Skip the template, find the belief(32:18) What coaches get wrong on calling out(36:49) Walk your own talk first(39:58) The six parts of Level 3(42:29) Reframing fear before hard talks(45:54) Four beliefs that block feedbackTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."The problem with hard conversations isn't not knowing the template.

Message from Bobby Warrenburg on July 19, 2026

I am not sure why I am so much more likely to talk about the mind blowing mystical experiences I have had, when I am a guest on other people's podcasts, rather than here on my own podcast! I always find it extremely activating to hear about people's spiritual experiences and encounters, and yet I don't often think to talk about my own. But I'm thinking about it now, so that is what I will be talking about when I go live today! In this livestream, I (Kara Goodwin, host of Soul Elevation) share a profound mystical experience from a few years ago, where I perceived a higher aspect of myself I refer to as my "Creator Being" and witnessed how the human or ego self communicates with that part of us that creates our reality/lived experience. The communication did not happen through words, as I might have expected. But, it was incredibly natural and "easy," and it made absolute sense in that higher state of consciousness. This experience challenged my expectations about what the Higher Self might look like (if, indeed, this is what we would consider the "Higher Self" - it may have been beyond the Higher Self) and opened a deeper understanding of manifestation, spiritual awakening, judgment, shame, and karma. In this livestream, I'll talk about: How consciousness shapes the reality we experience What this mystical experience revealed about the Higher Self/"Creator Self" How the ego or human self communicates beyond language with the part of us that is creating our reality Reframing judgment and shame  A new way to understand karma How I saw that we are always consciously participate in creating our reality This is an open exploration of higher consciousness, mystical experience, manifestation, and spiritual awakening.  Resources mentioned in this episode:  Mindful Pregnancy Collection: https://www.karagoodwin.com/pregnancy-collection  Book, Your Authentic Awakening: https://amzn.to/45bCcAK  Subscribe to Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin for conversations about spiritual awakening, higher consciousness, energy healing, cosmic wisdom, past lives, shamanic wisdom, and the mysteries of human transformation. https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/follow

In this episode of the Public Health Joy Podcast, Dr. Joyee sits down with Dr. Okey Enyia — health policy researcher, author, and founder of the John Henry Institute for Black Men's Health and Policy Innovation — for a powerful conversation about what it really takes for Black men to not just survive, but thrive.They start with the legend of John Henry — the "steel-driving man" who beat the machine but lost his life doing it — and unpack what that story still teaches us about chronic stress, structural racism, and the cost of always having to prove yourself. Dr. Enyia shares the real history behind the legend, including the John Henryism hypothesis: the idea that chronic stressors kill, and how that shows up in the data on Black men's life expectancy today.They get into it: do Black men get to have a soft life? Who gives them permission to rest? And what does community care actually look like when we've all been conditioned to equate rest with laziness?Dr. Enyia gets personal too — talking openly about being laid off, navigating depression and identity shifts, and how Jesus and therapy have both been part of his own healing journey. This episode is a masterclass in self-care, soul care, and reclaiming rest as a birthright, not a reward.If you've ever wondered how we build spaces where Black men can just be, without having to earn it, this episode is for you.Key PointsJohn Henry legend and its metaphor for health and stress [01:21 – 11:21]Health disparities among Black men and policy solutions [20:57 – 23:41]The importance of self-care, rest, and community support [19:41 – 29:07]Impact of white supremacy and capitalism on Black health [13:01 – 19:10]If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review!

Madhouse Films co-founders Katherine Romans and Charlie Traisman join GG Hawkins to explain how they built an independent production company from the ground up. They discuss using short films as their version of film school, raising project financing through relationship-building, approaching investors as creative partners, and transitioning from shorts to feature films. The conversation also explores cold outreach, fiscal sponsorship, balancing artistic ambition with financial realities, building durable producing partnerships, and why filmmakers must treat their projects like small businesses. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests Katherine Romans and Charlie Traisman discuss... How Romans and Traisman's longtime friendship developed into a creative and business partnership Using short films to establish Madhouse Films' voice, values, and community of collaborators Why emerging producers should make projects before waiting for the perfect opportunity Raising a flexible pool of financing while simultaneously developing and producing films Identifying different investor profiles and understanding what each person wants from participating Approaching investors as creative partners rather than treating fundraising as a transaction Using fiscal sponsorship to accept tax-deductible donations for qualifying independent film projects Reframing fundraising and relationship-building as part of a filmmaker's creative practice Why clear, direct financial asks are more effective than vague pitches Learning from rejection and using each “no” to improve the next approach How cold emails helped Madhouse build relationships with filmmakers they admired Transitioning from short-film fundraising to feature-film financing, revenue participation, and ROI conversations Giving filmmakers room to dream while establishing practical budget boundaries Deciding which creative priorities are worth protecting and where compromises can be made Maintaining trust, communication, and humor within a producing partnership Why directors should act as entrepreneurs and actively help their producers find financing Treating an independent film like a small business that must be continually pushed toward completion Developing Madhouse Films' new film fund and expanding what audiences consider a Madhouse project Memorable Quotes: “The whole process of raising and relationship building is extraordinarily fluid and nonlinear.” “You don't want money from just anyone. You do want someone who's aligned with you because they're part of your team.” “Because someone says no does not mean you stop asking. You just have to understand how to ask better.” “If you're getting no's, it means you're putting yourself out there.” Guests: Katherine Romans Charlie Traisman Resources: Madhouse Films Madhouse Films on Instagram Madhouse Films Newsletter Fractured Atlas Fiscal Sponsorship Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained 1000s of people around the world, and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity, and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic, and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and be it till you see it. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:44  All right, Be It Babe. Welcome back to our safety series. Welcome back. I hope you enjoyed a little discussion about money and certainty and security, and where it actually comes from, and what's going on, and all these different things. And I hope we can have a great conversation about it, so you can send in any aha moments, wonders, wins, to the Be It Pod at beitpod.com/questions. Also, DM us on Instagram and let us know what your takeaways are, or if you have more questions that you want us to do a third episode or fourth episode on this. Lesley Logan 1:31  Alright, so today we're going to talk about becoming your own safe harbor, and that's just because, again, we talked about how it's so easy for us to put safety and security in what our bank account says. And for good reason, we know money makes the world go round and you have to have it to pay your bills and to be in a safe place, and so yes to all those things, and also really understanding what is secure and safe to you, so that on those bad bank days you don't just throw everything out the window and go "I suck at all of this." And I think this podcast, a lot of things stem from confidence, either having it or not. And what is important is that I think it's really tricky how self-confidence actually works because it comes, as I mentioned last episode, from doing the things you said you would do. So, I think some people look at someone like me and they go, "She's so confident," and then you think, "Oh, she knows this is going to work out." And actually, what if confidence was not that everything will work out, but knowing you can handle it even if it doesn't? That is the type of confidence I want you to have, because that's where I think security and safety really come. And I will just say, I know we have a lot of listeners at all different ages, we have a lot of young listeners, and so you might be at a different point in your life where you haven't had a lot of bad days that you've survived yet, or maybe you've had, I definitely did, but there's still this feeling that when bad things happen, they're the worst things in your life. And I'm over 40, and I know a lot of listeners here are over 40, and we have survived a lot. We have survived 100% of our bad days, as I've said in the last episode. Some of you have survived divorces, a lot of you just survived grief, career pivots, parenting challenges, health changes, and so I actually wanted to say, because you've survived all those things, I don't think you have to go find more self-trust, more confidence. I think you can remember you had it, you have it. I think it's about going, "Oh my god, there she is, there it is. I put it in the back of the closet over there, I forgot." You know, and so I think my first homework assignment for you from this episode, to get a strategy around how amazing you are, to have certainty and the safety that you are amazing, is look back at your history, go down memory lane, get out the data if you own your own business and look at how much you have done, look at the adaptability that you have. We tend to look back and think of all the good stuff, and so then when bad stuff happens, we don't want to go back there because it hurts or it stings. But if we go, "Whoa, I survived that." You guys, like I've talked about on the pod a few times, I don't think you guys realize I truly did leave someone, became without an address, couch surfed, totaled my car, then found out the studio that I rented space where I made my income was closing. Oh my god, I should have felt the most unsafe in that moment.Lesley Logan 4:16  And I was like, "Oh no, I've been here before," because I had been homeless before, and what I actually just need to do is figure out where the studio is going to be, so then I can find the apartments, then I can get a car. That's all. I made a plan. So you got to go back and you got to look at the data of what you have survived, so you can see that you can do this, you can do anything, and also most of the bad things that happen are never as bad as the worst things we've had. But we conflate them, we catastrophize them, and so they all feel as the same bad, but they're not. So I hope that little trip down my memory lane helps you realize I'm not the only resilient one here on this podcast. You are, you have survived 100% of your bad days. And if you would just pat yourself on the back, that's why we do FYFs, celebrate the wins of what you survived, because you learn something from it every single time, right? You don't do things the same way. Lesley Logan 5:33  I also know that many of you listening to this podcast are do-it-all-yourself, and that feels safe to you, and I am that person. I'll just do it myself, and then it will get done the way I want, and then it'll be perfect, and I will have certainty and security and safety. But the reality is that we end up not trusting anybody when that happens. We think we have so much self-trust that we're the ones who can do it, and then we trust no one, and then we become actually more and more alone, and that is not necessarily what creates safety. That does not create long-lasting confidence, and I'm not saying that you have to have a business partner or a life partner, or anything, you can hire people, or you can ask for help, or, if you like a book, join a book club. There's just different things we can do so that we are not just doing everything all ourselves all of the time, because there's just too much in one life for anyone to do. Maybe you actually leverage AI to help you with the things you need to do. People are always better, but also, if you want to feel safe and secure, if you have these emotional up and down roller coasters where you just feel like you have certainty and uncertainty, chances are you might be trying to do it all yourself, and it's exhausting. You not only don't have anyone to trust in doing something, but then you start developing this inability to trust people. Lesley Logan 6:26  And then another thing that is affecting us, if we are hyper-independent type people, we're in that trap, is we actually can get into a place of, "What if I lose everything?" We start to panic, and then we go back to that catastrophizing situation, and we worry, and it actually doesn't prevent anything bad from happening, but it does ruin your present moment. I had an incredible interview with an astrologer, Aleks Ceho, and we actually talked about intuition and how you can have an intuitive thought and bad things could still happen, but that doesn't mean your intuition was wrong. It means you heard your intuition and it gave a warning. Does it mean that you should have heard it a split second sooner? No, you listened, right? So it's just really important that we don't allow the worry of what could happen keep us from what is happening and enjoying that, because if we don't enjoy it, we don't learn from it, and then we don't have the muscle we need for when the bad shit happens. All right, that's how it goes. Lesley Logan 7:27  So, we've had a couple of somatic experts on the podcast, Lauren Zoeller and Keri Ford, and if you are really into somatics, they are experts, you should go listen to their episodes. But I can tie it into Pilates, right? So, if you do Pilates correctly, you should not feel tension anywhere, because tension just creates rigidity. But you should feel connection, and connection to our muscles allows us to have flexibility and stability, right? So, our center creates some stability so that we can move our limbs, or our limbs help create stability so we can move our center. And so I think it's really important that safety is not the same as rigidity. In fact, a lot of us are thinking that tension and rigidity and these strict rules, "I'm going to do it all myself, no one can help me," it actually does quite the opposite. And what is rigid will eventually break, but what is connected can bend, right? Can flow and move with it. Lesley Logan 8:38  I definitely can think back to a few times where my trying to control everything and how it went out just caused not only more stress on me, but just more stress on the people of my team because I could not articulate what was needed, because I was in such a fear state that I was actually just talking about what could happen versus what I wanted to happen. And so I will just say, if you keep talking, if you hear yourself talking about what could happen, what could happen, you are not focused on doing the things for what you want to happen. And so then guess what happens: the thing that could happen, because that's where your focus was, right? We had Brad Bizjak on the podcast, I think he brought this up on a podcast, where the most car accidents are in the rural areas and they hit a light pole, but there's hundreds of feet between light poles. How is this happening? Because they're focused on not hitting the light pole. Right? I want us to get out of the hyper-independence trap and actually move into some rituals for finding safety, that safe harbor. If you listened to the habit series, you know I like little tiny habits. So I want you to create micro-promises. I love the messy action, you're not not taking that, but you're not going big and bold and seeing what sticks to the wall. You're actually going to want to be taking tiny little actions, messy, right? Like, "I'm gonna do this thing and see how it goes," but instead of making this big all-or-nothing thing that can feel scary, especially if you're listening and you're over 40. If you're in your 20s, you can go big and bold and have the most fun, you should. If you're over 40 and you're like, "That stuff kind of scares me when you say that, Lesley," I feel you. That messy action doesn't have to be like quit everything. You don't have to quit it all. You can take a little micro-promise, you can make one little tiny action step today and see what that unveils and reveals. In episode 305, he said you can't see the whole staircase, but you can see the first step and you take it. So, take the first step, the first little action that you can know. It shows the next one, and then you'll start to see that you have the security that you're looking for to take more action and really build that trust in yourself, especially if you don't have it right now. Especially if you're like, "I wish I had the self-trust that you have." Well, then you have to take baby actions, you know, not the biggest mess, the tiny one, tiny, tiny. Lesley Logan 11:07  You also have to make sure you're taking time to regulate your nervous system. Talked about this before, like oh my gosh, sometimes you feel stuck, but you just have a dysregulated nervous system. Well, sometimes you feel nervous, feels unsafe, but you have a nervous system that's picking up on something. And I said it in the last episode, but you have to actually have non-negotiable daily practices for yourself that allow you to feel safe and secure. And I wouldn't do fluffy shit, I wouldn't go, "I'm safe, I'm secure." No, what makes you feel that way?Lesley Logan 11:38  Does it make you feel safe to have a wonderful bedroom that has no phones in it, that has the right lights at night, that you shut the door? What makes you feel safe and secure? Does it make you feel safe and secure if you check the bank account every day or once a week? What are the things that you need to do so you can actually ground down, right? And if you need even more, then there's somatic work you can do. So there's logistical, like financial check-ins, lock the door, have a friend that knows where you're at at all times, and then there's the somatic one, which is like maybe doing some breathwork or Pilates every day, something that moves your body that takes the stress out of your brain and your body, and connects your mind and body back together. It's really easy to tell ourselves some funky stuff in our brains, right? Lesley Logan 12:23  So, what we have to do is ultimately find a paradigm shift and move away from I feel safe when my bank account is X to I feel safe right now because I know how to navigate whatever comes, right? We have to really understand that there are going to be things that happen, and maybe it's not a bank account that makes you feel unsafe, but maybe it's a phone ringing, or maybe it's someone asking for a meeting but not telling you what it's for. There are so many different things that can all of a sudden make us feel like our boat, which was in a safe harbor, is now in a storm all of a sudden. So we, one, have to know what those things are about ourselves. For one of you it could be a bank account, for another it's a boss, for another it's a mentor. There are these different things that could happen that really just immediately dysregulate us and make us feel unsafe. So, if you know yourself, then you can go, okay, so then, what are the things that I can look to to be my north star, to be my compass, to be my anchor? What are those things? Because what ultimately will happen when you have those touchpoints is that you actually will stop fearing uncertainty, and you will finally have freedom to do all of the things you want to do, whatever that is. Lesley Logan 13:40  Because the reality is that we have six needs as humans: we need certainty and we need uncertainty. And my ADHD people, you need uncertainty, you love a little bit of change. I'm ADHD, so I need certainty, and I don't like it, I want everything to be exactly the same, and I want it to be different all of the time. And so just so you know, this was a really hard, hard thing. I think I had to hit my rock bottoms a few times so that I could actually go, "Whoa, I have survived 100% of hard days." And if I want to move this company to where I want it to be, if I want to be as big as it can be, if I want to have the impact that I want to have, which is impacting tens of thousands of people who love Pilates, then I cannot feel unsafe when shit hits the fan. I cannot, because it will just ruin my dreams. I will not ever get there. I hope this helps. I really do. And one last thing that really helps me is like just sometimes when you say things out loud, even to yourself: I feel very unsafe right now. I feel very worried right now. I feel this. And then you go, why? And if you start talking to yourself about those things, you start to realize, oh wait, hold on, there's this thing over there, this thing over here.Lesley Logan 15:00  And if you, oh my god, send in wins and you hear them on Fridays with me on a shitty day, you might just hear about a win you had and go, "Oh wait a minute, this bad thing's happening, but I had that thing happen there, I forgot." So all of a sudden you go from feeling unsafe and uncertain to feeling very secure and having that self-trust reminder. I want to do that for you, so send in your wins to beitpod.com/questions if you have topics you would like these little episodes to go into, please ask. If you want to talk more about one of the things that I said in these two episodes. Ask so that I know, and I'll make another episode. We'll go deeper. These are for you. They're definitely not for me. I talk to myself all day, my loves. So I want these to be for you. I want these to change your life. I want these to support you in everything that you're doing, because you're doing everything well. You're doing a great job. You're doing better than you give yourself credit for, and the world needs you. You are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. All right, until next time.

For generations, many Christians have been taught to fear the devil, demons, and spiritual warfare. But what if we've been asking the wrong questions? What if many of the assumptions we've inherited deserve a fresh look through the lens of Jesus?In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we continue our Reframe series by exploring one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christianity. Instead of approaching spiritual warfare through fear, we examine what Scripture actually says about Satan, the devil, demons, accusation, ego, and the finished work of Christ.Together we discuss:• Why so much of modern spiritual warfare teaching creates fear instead of freedom• What the words "Satan" and "devil" actually mean in Scripture• The difference between external evil and the internal voice of accusation• Why the battlefield is often our thinking, not our surroundings• How Jesus completely defeated the power of accusation through the cross• What it means to live from victory instead of constantly fighting for it00:00 - Introduction & The Reframe Series02:33 - Our God Reigns04:20 - Why We Need to Reframe Spiritual Warfare09:29 - The Battlefield Is the Mind10:56 - Reframing the Devil13:37 - Why This Conversation Matters16:25 - What the Bible Really Says About Demons20:18 - What Does "Satan" Actually Mean?25:05 - How the Devil Operates Today28:23 - Ego, Trauma & Law-Based Thinking34:18 - Influence vs. Possession36:44 - Christ Defeated Every Accusation39:01 - Stand in the Finished Work of Jesus40:16 - Living Free From Fear42:19 - Closing Challenge & Final Encouragement

In week six, Paul reframes the messiness of life together in the Body of Christ through his encouragement to two members of the church in Philippi, showing how God forms us in this midst of difficulties or disagreements. Reframing Church Drama Zane Witcher

Most of us spend years trying to figure out money - what to do with it, how to invest it, how to make it work harder. But imagine if someone had taught you the fundamentals when you were a child.   Because here's what I've seen over the years - the families who build lasting generational wealth don't just accumulate assets. They pass on the mindset, the habits, and the financial literacy that lets the next generation take it even further.   So what if we could give our kids that advantage? What if we could raise children who grow up genuinely confident about money, investing, and building wealth - instead of spending their adult years trying to unlearn bad money habits?   And don't worry if you don't have children yet or are not planning to have children. There'll be lots in today's show to help you with your money habits.   My guest today - Sarah Megginson is one of Australia's most recognised personal finance experts, with over 20 years of experience in property, finance and investment journalism.  Her new book is called "How to Raise Rich Kids: Build Lasting Wealth for Your Children" - and it's a genuinely practical guide for any parent who wants to get this right, whether they feel totally on top of their own finances or are still working it out themselves.   In this episode I'm speaking with Sarah Megginson about raising financially confident kids and why money habits start earlier than most parents realise.   We unpack how children absorb money attitudes from home, and why your own behaviour shapes their financial future.   We discuss practical ways to teach budgeting, saving, and decision-making through everyday moments like shopping and family conversations.   We also look at how digital money, credit, and buy now, pay later can confuse young people without proper guidance.   Finally, we explore why the real legacy is not just wealth, but financial intelligence, confidence, and family values.   Takeaways   • Early money lessons at home shape children's habits long before adulthood. • Open conversations about money reduce fear and build financial confidence. • Children learn budgeting faster when they help compare real prices. • Digital spending removes friction, making impulse purchases easier to justify. • Buy now, pay later can hide debt from young people's awareness. • Parental stress around money often becomes children's emotional money blueprint. • Passing on financial intelligence matters more than handing over assets. • Involving kids in decisions builds responsibility and long-term confidence. • Reframing "we can't afford that" teaches values, not scarcity. • Regular family money talks help prevent silence, shame, and poor financial choices.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of Negotiate Influence Persuade. •        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here     Sarah Megginson's Book How to Raise Rich Kids -  https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Raise-Rich-Kids-Children/dp/1923390244   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au      Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Property plan for your needs.

Built for Life Newsletter: https://builtforlife.io Twice-weekly emails for high performers who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best    Book a 1-1 strategy session: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/ytapplynow  Why Your Partner Resists Your Fitness Journey (And What to Do About It): https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/why-your-partner-resists-your-fitness-journey    –   Why does your partner sometimes resist your fitness transformation, even when they say they support you?   In this episode, Akash and Ed break down the three phases where relationships tend to hit friction on a body transformation journey: the conversation before you even sign up, the moment your partner realizes how much is actually going to change, and the long-term shift once you're in shape and staying there.   They cover the different "buyer" archetypes people fall into when starting a program (including the ones who join in secret), why preaching to your partner almost always backfires, and how to ask for support in a way that actually works. Akash and Ed also share their own relationship habits, from a weekly five-point check-in ritual to how they've learned to divide training time with their own wives, and close with a simple but important point: if you wouldn't want your partner to overhear how you talk about them, that's a sign the conversation needs to happen directly.   Whether your partner is fully on board, quietly skeptical, or actively pushing back, this episode gives you a framework for navigating it, without turning your transformation into a source of tension at home.   Chapters:  0:05 Intro 1:02 Why Partners Resist Your Transformation 2:39 Phase 1: Before You Even Sign Up 5:48 Phase 2: Realizing What They Signed Up For 15:45 Phase 3: The Long Game 18:34 Getting Over the Resistance 21:16 Relationship Check-Ins and Marriage Talk 23:29 Avoiding Small Talk 24:08 The Preaching Trap 30:21 Reframing the Partner's Fears 30:28 Marathon Banter 30:53 Following Through and Specific Asks 33:48 Kids Logistics and Lockdown Lessons 35:46 Training Separately, Together 39:05 You Don't Need Matching Intensity 40:09 Paddle and Personal Purchases 42:20 The Weekly Relationship Check-In Ritual 44:45 Final Words 46:51 Outro   –   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

You can be successful on paper and still feel unfulfilled in your leadership. Many high-capacity women leaders are thriving in environments that reward performance while quietly suppressing perspective, intuition, and authentic influence.  Dr. Natalie Pickering is a psychologist, TEDx speaker, and executive coach who helps women in leadership move from autopilot to agency and from performing to becoming. She has worked with hundreds of leaders, teams, and organizations around the world committed to flourishing workplaces and leadership.  Her new book, Leading Becomes You: A Real-World Framework for Leading from the Inside Out, guides leaders into the deeper, human work beneath strategy-- helping them shed the stories that drain them, reclaim the values that anchor them, and inhabit leadership in a sustainable, soulful way that is unmistakably their own.    In this conversation, she shares why many women leaders find themselves adapting to systems that can't keep pace with their growth, and how reclaiming identity clarity can transform the way they lead.   What you will learn from this episode: Why many women leaders feel stuck despite being highly capable and successful. How organizational systems can contribute to burnout, disengagement, and self-silencing. The role identity clarity plays in sustainable leadership and long-term fulfillment.   "Many women are carrying this unprocessed debris from their history, whether that's toxic leadership, relational pressure, chronic stress." – Natalie Pickering   Topics Covered: 01:35 – Why high-capacity women leaders often outpace the emotional maturity of the systems around them 04:15 – How women gradually adapt to unsupportive workplaces without realizing it 05:12 – Reframing burnout: What organizations may be doing to create it 06:08 – Natalie's definition of burnout and the three signs leaders should watch for 08:35 – The inspiration behind Leading Becomes You and Natalie's research-driven framework 09:45 – Understanding the Identity Clarity and Connection Matrix 11:05 – The Four A's: Awareness, Acceptance, Assimilation, and Authentic Activation 14:05 – The balance sheet leaders must use to separate personal challenges from organizational dysfunction 17:40 – What to examine when you feel stuck in your role or career 18:55 – The connection between values misalignment and leadership fulfillment 20:05 – Natalie's Identity-First Leadership Assessment and how it helps leaders gain clarity bit.ly/IFLSelfAssessment    21:00 – The hidden cost of leading without identity clarity—and why self-erosion matters   Key Takeaways: "You can't burn out if you weren't on fire." — Natalie Pickering "I want every leader to have their own approach, their own identity, instead of borrowing someone else's leadership story." — Natalie Pickering "The hidden cost of leading without identity clarity is self-erosion." — Natalie Pickering   Ways to Connect with Natalie Pickering: Assessment: bit.ly/IFLSelfAssessment Book: Leading Becomes You: A Real-World Framework for Leading from the Inside Out Website: https://www.becominginstitute.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drnataliepickering/    Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

The topic of ‘hell' is in need of being questioned.  Is ‘hell' as traditionally taught even real?  What if the word hell is actuallyNOT in the Bible at all but rather a mistranslation of other Greek and Hebrew words?  What did the early churchFather's believe and teach on the topic?  This 10 part series will dive into the topic and hopefully offer some much needed ‘hope-filled' perspectives.  Enjoy!! Watch Today's Episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/M_e8iIMPgN4 Podcast:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-graceWeekly Blog: https://mikezenker.blog/  Donate today and help keep this going: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW  All Recordings on YOUTUBE: SGIG Playlist:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfv-9uArQHIzcebDIyS8F3nj2MF_FV-H Guest Info And LinksRichard Murray: https://thegoodnessofgod.com/Bill Thrasher: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444411502587439 Fred Young: https://eschurch.com/ Randy Elstrott: https://www.randyelstrott.com/ Mike Zenker: www.hopefellowshipycc.comYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker

Feeling stuck often isn't about motivation, it's about a psychological pattern called learned helplessness.

Sometimes we blame it on the money, but it's really the people we're letting in our brains, letting rent space there, letting treat us a different way. So, you have to have some non-negotiables. You have to have daily practices that keep you grounded. So, no matter when the numbers fluctuate, you do these things anyways. Lesley Logan 0:19  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world, and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity, and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic, and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and be it till you see it. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:02  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? We're back with a solo series. This is going to be more of a safety series kind of a thing, but also talking about money and uncertainty. And I think I've had many of you in the DMs sharing how you're loving these solo episodes and sharing some of your wins and some of your questions and needs, and we thought that this would be a really fun series that we could probably build off of as time goes along. Where the series kind of starts is like, if you've ever looked at your bank account and then questioned your entire life, you're not alone, you're just not. The reality is that somehow we really conflated what is in our bank account with the certainty that we need in our life, and then we've equated uncertainty with feeling unsafe. This is not a money episode, although if you need to listen to some money episodes, our episodes with Tess Waresmith are amazing. But what I'm hoping that you get from today's episode and this two-part series is just that financial fluctuations are real, so you're not alone. It's totally normal to have that, and your financial fluctuations and personal safety are not always the same thing. They can be, and I understand, because not only have I been homeless, I have also seen what being unhoused over time can look like, and especially if you're a woman. So, I do understand that, but I do think it's important that we just have an honest conversation, maybe have a dialogue. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, because there's a lot of different reasons why financial security makes us feel secure when it's actually not. Lesley Logan 2:33  In fact, in doing research for this episode, I was kind of like, I want to chat a bit about the history, especially in the States, but I think in most of the world, right? If you were a woman, you had to marry well so that you would have a house and, in air quotes, "safety and security." But if we read stories, we watch things like Game of Thrones, all these different things, we see historically how they treated women, but yet somehow we were conditioned that, well, that is the safe thing to do, and that's the safe thing to be in. The reality is, because women didn't have access to bank accounts, it was literally the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, women needed a male co-signer for credit. And so the reality is, like most of us listening to this, our mothers didn't even have access to their own credit card with their own name on it until they were probably sometime during the marriage to our parents or someone, right? So very few women had access to bank accounts. I had an eLevate member here who was sharing how her mother could not get money out of the bank account that her husband had to fix something because he was out of town, and this is like in the '50s and '60s, but that's not that far away.Lesley Logan 3:46  These are in the lifetimes of the people who raised us, and so, because of that upbringing in their minds, we have this generational feeling in our bones that money equals security. And so a lot of us, for better or for worse, have taken jobs or not taken jobs based on the security the money will give us, but that doesn't always mean that we are safe, right? That does not mean that the people that have that are going to treat you well, does not mean that that is the safest place for your personality and what your needs are. But I just want you to know, like, if you have that feeling and you're wondering, why can't I just let this go? Because I know there's money there. I know that I'm okay. I know that I have savings. I know this is a bad week, and this has nothing to do with who I am as a person. If you know that in your heart and it's hard to get into your head, you are not alone. It is this historical thing that we all have, and it's been raised into us. Lesley Logan 4:40  I remember not thinking I wanted to date this one person, but all the women around me going, "Oh my god, he has a great job and a great car, he's got like a legitimate career path," because I was a retail girly, and so what kind of career path did I have? Right, that's what they're really saying, but I was too young to really get that. Another reason why we can have these feelings and conflate financial security with certainty and safety is like that idea of being a good girl, traditional conditioning, being polite, and don't talk about money. And so if we don't talk about money, then we don't know what other women are making in the same field, and so we don't know that in some areas we're being undercharged or underpaid. In fact, if you remember when the Sony emails were hacked, all these people were able to see how much the men were getting paid for less lines than the women were getting paid. What it really reveals is the men asked for money and women didn't, and the women weren't asking other people what they were getting paid, so they didn't know that there was more money to ask for. Because we have to be the good girl, and if we're asking, then there must be something nefarious about asking, and so we then are conditioned to be polite, right? Lesley Logan 5:46  And so, if we go against that conditioning, we become an entrepreneur, we work for ourselves, we can constantly feel like we are in friction with society, like, "Ooh, am I allowed to negotiate? Am I allowed to charge more than other people? Am I allowed to have these boundaries, or should I just be grateful that these clients will pay what I want?" So then they can say that they want to come at a different time, and all of that stuff goes through our heads, and so you're just not alone, right? So this brings us to the brain and the business and the worth, but I know not all of you are working for yourself, so I want to just honor that you might be an employee, and there is some security in that, right? Like, our financial institutions definitely believe that if you have a W-2, you are more safe to give a loan to than someone like me. And I get so frustrated, not because I'm jealous of you or anything like that, we all have our different things that are going to work best for us. So, there's nothing wrong with being an employee versus being an entrepreneur. You should do what is right for you, but it does make me laugh that the bank thinks that's more secure when I know I can bet on myself, and companies can let go of people at any time. So we fool ourselves into what is technically, in air quotes, "safe" versus what could be safe, and it might be safer to be in a job, so just know that I'm not saying that. But in life every single day, there are these little tricks we play to make us think, "Oh, I'm safe now that I have this, now I'm safe," right? And we're not really getting to the root of what is safety, what is it, right? Lesley Logan 7:10  So let's get into some brain, business, and worth stuff. Entrepreneurship, most people in our lives have told us how it is the most uncertain thing, and it is. I'm just going to tell you right now, absolutely everything is, none of us are actually psychic, unless you are, right? So, the reality is, it doesn't matter if you work for yourself or someone else, it is uncertain always what's going to happen tomorrow. We don't know. And so I wanted to say, being a small business owner is really hard. It's fucking hard to compete with companies that have way more money, and also in the way that the customers expect a small business to be, because these big businesses can have your stuff within four hours to your house, and I have to take four days, right? And I have to charge you for shipping, and they don't, and so it's really hard, right? And so you can feel like you're constantly two steps forward, seven steps back, three steps forward, two steps back. You're just like, oh my god, sometimes you feel like you're just treading water and going backwards.Lesley Logan 8:07  Revenues do fluctuate, like clients change and seasons shift, and the thing is, no matter what business you're in, people are always like, "What's the safest thing?" It's like, what are you talking about? Every single business has a season, we as humans have seasons, the earth, the universe has seasons. So, there are seasons for harvest, and there are seasons for planting, and there are seasons for rest, which means the money is not going to be the same all the time, right? And so, then, until you can get to a place where you can trust in yourself and the seasons, you end up in this nervous system trap where your brain reads the vibes of a slow financial month as just physical danger, right? And our brain is primed to prioritize survival, and that's not a good long-term strategy, because what ends up happening is you will constantly be doing these random things to get money versus taking time from a regulated nervous system space to make decisions on your business that will help with the long haul. I had a business coach who told me this. She said, "Your business should be boring. This is not a place where you get entertainment." And so getting to have a boring business is really great, but the boring business that I have means that I know that April is a terrible financial month for us when it comes to income, and so is July. They just suck, and if we don't have great months going into April, and then between April and July, we could be fucked, right? And so we can scramble, and we've had that happen, because there are years that are just, oh my god, thank god for this year, and there are years going, "Okay, am I going to keep doing this?" But what we have to make sure with our nervous systems is that we're never just going off of vibes, we do need to make sure we're going off the data. And if your bank account is saying zero, then we actually need to go into the data of what brought your bank account there to zero. Oh, you invested in yourself. Oh, you paid this thing out, but this is coming in next week. Sometimes we forget that we planned for it, right? So, scarcity versus fact is something else we need to just take a moment.Lesley Logan 10:13  That brings us to that. So, like, it's really easy to catastrophize a shitty situation and jump like, "Well, that's gonna make that bad, and then that's gonna go bad." We're not gonna have time for that. And I definitely do this. If you have read The Big Leap, you know that one of the best ways to get yourself out of your genius zone is to worry. And when you take the shitty issue that you have of, "Oh, my bank account isn't reading the way I want," and then you catastrophize it, not only do you create doom and gloom loop stories, it makes it really hard to look at the actual data. And the actual data might show, "Oh, all these bills got paid, I am debt-free in this area over here, and my paycheck comes in 48 hours." Okay, great, you are slaying, you are in fact the opposite of unsafe, you are so secure, right? But we can forget the things that we did, especially my ADHD, high-achieving, over-achieving, perfectionist people, it's really easy to forget the plan when we check something out and it just hits a little differently than we expected it to.Lesley Logan 11:18  And then we have to just also talk about, a lot of times as women, how we have been raised to feel worthy, as opposed to just knowing we are worthy, are very different things. You know, there is so much that we tie into our identity of like, are we a good sister, are we a good daughter, are we a good friend, are we helping the people in our house, all the unpaid caregiving labor that women do, especially the daughters listening. I do have an episode coming out with a statistician on good daughtering, but there's just so much unpaid labor. But then we wrap our identity on the revenue we create, but if most of our time is spent with unpaid things, then we think we're not worthy, but in fact we're the most worthy person that anyone in our life has. We are worth so much to them, but we don't feel that way, because we think our worth is tied into the revenue of what's in our bank account and not to what we bring to the table, which is probably just so much more.Lesley Logan 12:04  And by the way, the way that society is going right now, this is fucking awful, right? It's like every other day that I pull up my Instagram, and there's some guy who's shitting on some guy who should be shat on, to be honest, who's talking about like, you know, she needs to carry the bags and take care of all the things, and my work is having the response of bringing the money in. It's like that is not a team. I mean, yes, you've delegated tasks, but that's just not how it goes. And to be honest, I fear for that girl in that video that I saw. So he makes all the money, and then what? What do you get when he moves on to somebody else? There's no security in that, that's why it was so uncertain and so unsafe for women for so long, who could not get jobs, who could not have bank accounts, who could not have credit cards, who could not get their names on deeds, they were not safe at all, right? Because they couldn't leave their husband, because where were they going to go? How'd they get money? He could leave at any time, and they'd have nothing, right? And, by the way, he's not safe, a lot of people died mysteriously because divorce wasn't a possibility, right? So we have to remember, ladies, like we are so much more worthy than what we are being paid for because of the worth we bring to the people in our lives, what we do for them, right?Lesley Logan 13:36  So don't make your bank account a report card on your value, because that's not what it is. And you know, I feel this, 2023 was this weird year, because we had this server issue, a bot sent infinite traffic to one of our servers, and it overwhelmed our server, and then to get rid of the thing that that bot was attacking, it caused our website to run like it was 2005. And so we had to rebuild a 1,000-page website as quickly as possible, and it fucked with our SEO and all this stuff, and it cost so much money, because that was not what we were anticipating on spending money on. At the same time, we were trying to wrap up buying this house, so to make sure we had all this money in our bank, and it was just so stressful. We actually ended up having, and then we have to pay our taxes at the same time, because you pay your taxes so we could have the deed on the house, like all these different things were going on. And we had the money for the taxes, we were not expecting to build a website when we were planning for that, and so just all these things hit at once. And there was this one other unforeseeable bill that was not $100, it was like thousands of dollars. And it just in that moment when we're buying this house that I get to sit in and I love so much, I couldn't have felt more rich and poor at the same time. Like, I can afford this house, and yet every dime I have is gone to make all of this stuff keep going, and we did have to borrow and put a thing on it, and give it to pay our friends and family back, with interest. That's the right thing to do. And it can affect your self-worth. You can feel embarrassed about it, or you can go, "Wow, this is a fucking shitty time. I have a friend or family member who can help me. I'm going to do the right thing, and I'm going to be out of this," right? And so there's no reason to be embarrassed, and I'm still great friends with the people who helped me out through that time. That wasn't the first time in my life when I had to ask for help, and none of those things make my worth less, right? It just actually helped me through a tough time, and you would do that for someone else if you could, and there will be a time when you have to, right? Lesley Logan 15:44  So the other thing when it comes to security and safety, and when you wrap it up with your money, my neurodivergent listeners, hello, I see you. We already live in overwhelm. There's already so much going on in our brain. Our brain is three steps ahead all the time, and so when you have some financial uncertainty, not only is it easier to go into catastrophe situations, but you can go there much faster than anybody else. You can amplify the heck out of it, and you could add shame and panic to that quicker than anybody. And the reality is that you have to fall into the data over the vibes, you have to pull yourself back. "Hold on, let's back it up, back it up. What is real? What do I know? What about this makes me feel unsafe, but what's actually true? What's the actual reality?" Lesley Logan 16:38  And so, my perfectionists, that all-or-nothing mindset: "My business is failing." Just because you have a slow week. It's not failing. You're jt having a slow week. If you're in the first couple years of any project you're doing, you don't know the seasons yet, so it makes it really difficult. And if you are working for yourself or you're taking a hobby to be a side hustle, and you don't take the time to really get clear about your self-worth and what matters, and what is going to be something you can lean on for certainty in your business, and what will always be uncertain, and how you're going to handle getting the data so that you don't go off the vibes.Lesley Logan 17:15  If you don't do that stuff, you're just going to live in a constant state of emotional dysregulation and decision fatigue, and you're not going to actually be able to... you're not gonna have fun. I mean, I'm not saying that work is always fun, but it shouldn't make you feel like shit, right? Whether you're an employee for someone or you work for yourself, we have to figure out what are the actual things that I can say make me feel safe. How can I request those at my place of work or in my life if I work for myself? What numbers am I going to go off of so that I know what's going on, so that I have a bit more predictability, right? What will always be a little uncertain in this business? And where can I have certainty? Here's why I have certainty: I will show up every day and work hard. I'm so certain of that. I am so certain that I am very resourceful. If this shit hits the fan and spews it on the walls, I can find new ways of cleaning it up, even if every other tool is gone. Like, I am a resourceful person. I have certainty that the human that I am and the way that I put things out into the world, people will always want what I've got. Now, I have uncertainty in when they will want that. I have uncertainty in, if I put it out there, will people buy it? I have uncertainty of when people are gonna be ready for the thing I have to offer. All that's uncertain. I cannot predict when people are ready to buy. I can't choose the people who are ready to listen to this podcast, but I can predict that I will show up to work tomorrow, right? And so I think that's really important. Lesley Logan 18:47  So that leads us into rewiring our brains for safety and those harder seasons, like we need a little toolkit. There's a difference between emotional safety and financial safety, they are two different things. And so while money can create stability, your emotional safety actually comes from internal self-trust, community, and boundaries. And I want to just talk about internal self-trust. That would be confidence. That's where a lot of people struggle the most, because they actually consistently, on little bitty things, failed to do what they said they were going to do. And because of those little tiny things, "I'm going to go for a walk in the morning. Oh, I'm going to get up and read this book. I'm going to journal..." and you don't do it, you are just carving out at your confidence, your self-trust, right? So it is important if you want to feel safe that you ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and commit to doing things that make you feel good in your life, or that you can do that are at doable dosages, right? Not like, "I'm going to work out every day for an hour" no one can say and do that, there's so many days I want to work, right? Lesley Logan 20:03  So, also, emotional safety and security comes from boundaries. Sometimes we blame it on the money, but it's really the people we're letting in our brains, letting rent space there, letting treat us a different way. So, you have to have some non-negotiables, you have to have daily practices that keep you grounded, no matter when the numbers fluctuate, you do these things anyways. You guys, I have so much work on my plate, so many things that I am excited about and equally stressed about, and I do not start working on them any earlier than my day starts with work, because my non-negotiables have to happen so that I can do that with love, grace, energy, stamina, endurance, excitement.Lesley Logan 20:46  If I come out to those jobs out of fear, out of rush, out of like, "I gotta get this done," then, like, no. My daily practices that keep me grounded allow me to show up and have emotional security, so no matter what is going on with the finance of the businesses, I know that I can show up and move the needle forward in the direction it has to go. And then if you're like, "I have all those things, and I still see the bank account in a certain way," then we need a little bit of a gentle reframe, right? We need to say, "What if this season I'm in is not evidence of failure, but instead just evidence that I'm in a different season?" right? Like, this is just a different season. I'm out of the other season, I'm in the new season right now. What if we reframe how we feel about things, and go, "Okay, so I invested X, Y, and Z in this, and so because I made that investment..." as opposed to, "I spent, ...I made that investment, I now will have these things coming to me on these dates," and then tell them this is what I'm going to be doing, right? Like, we have to change how we talk about ourselves and talk to ourselves, and talk about what we're doing in a way that is not toxic and gaslighty, but actually a pick-me-up, actually makes you feel like things are possible. Because if you don't, you're never going to feel safe in anything you do, whether you work for yourself or other people. It's just not going to work. You're going to constantly feel like you're sabotaging yourself, right? There are seasons, there are ebbs and flows. It is a real thing. And so, if nothing changed in your life but what the money in the bank account is, then how would you be any less safe than you were the day before? Lesley Logan 22:26  So, if you take nothing else away from our conversation today, I just want you to remember that your financial anxiety is not personal failure. It's part of a historical echo and a biological response, and you are building a system to help yourself in this world that wasn't built for us to have those systems, right? It's only in our generation that women are allowed to do the things that they're able to do, and so it is hard, and it is exhausting, and it is uncertain, and you're doing it, you're doing all the things. And so there are going to be days that feel like shit, but it doesn't mean you are shit. There's gonna be days that feel like failure, but you are not a failure. There are gonna be days that feel like they suck, but you don't suck, right? So, you have to take some time to write down what are the things that I can bet on, that I have certainty around, that I have security around. And when you're feeling like, "My bank account has shifted, and I'm fucked," you can look at those things and go, "Do I have these things still? Oh, I do. Okay, great. So, my bank account sucks, but I have all the things that I need right now." Knowing why we feel this way and why these things happen, it's helpful. It's half the battle. Lesley Logan 23:40  So, I know most of us are over 40 here. I know we also have some young listeners, hello, babes, I'm happy you're here. And we don't just need mindset shifting, like, I hope that this got your mindset to shift, we are going to need a new framework for safety. We have spent decades thinking safety means controlling every variable and overfunctioning and building a fortress of hyper-independence. And I'm not going to take away your independence. I want all of you who want to just live your life of independence that way. But also, I want you to have wonderful, amazing relationships, and that means friends who lift you up. It doesn't have to be partners in life that support your amazing boundaries, that can help be that reminder that everything is okay when you forget. And what if true safety isn't about ensuring nothing ever goes wrong?Lesley Logan 24:24  I kind of really want to get us all to what if true safety is knowing that you are entirely capable of navigating it when it does, right? Like I said, I have certainty around, like, if shit hits the fan, I can be resourceful. I want that's the security I want for you. So, in our next episode, we are going to dive into part two of this conversation. We are shifting from the brain and the history to the somatic and the strategic, and so we're going to kind of just dismantle the trap of doing things all alone, even if you are all alone, so that you can feel like you are safe wherever your harbor is, even when your revenue is going to fluctuate. And I love this quote, and it comes, I've heard it many times, but I know we heard it on our podcast a few times, and one of them was Launa Jae, and it's, "You've survived 100% of your hardest days so far." You have. So we have to start trusting our track record. Until then, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 25:18  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Send us Fan MailThe self you built to stay safe was never a lie — but it has an expiry date, and its collapse isn't a breakdown. It's an invitation.Episode summary Most people who come to Matilda for a reading aren't lost — they're still performing a version of themselves built decades ago to survive. In this extended episode, Matilda unpacks where the "survival self" comes from, why it quietly costs us access to our own intuition, and why spiritual "awakening" almost always looks like loss before it looks like light. Expect a reframe of what awakening actually is, a practical discernment tool for collapse, three journal prompts to start locating who you were before the performance began — and, new for this episode, a short guided meditation to help you meet that self directly.Key takeawaysThe identity you built as a child to earn love and safety was adaptive, not a flaw — but it wasn't built to last foreverChronic self-abandonment often disguises itself as reliability and strengthBurnout is very often self-abandonment wearing the costume of loyaltyReal awakening tends to look like loss first, not clarity — the ego mistakes deconstruction for catastropheA two-question discernment tool for telling genuine loss apart from the death of a performed identityThree journal prompts to begin locating the self underneath the survival strategyA guided meditation practice to meet that self directly, not just intellectually understand itTimestamps 00:00 — Cold open: the client who was tired of performing04:30 — Segment 1: Why we build the survival self16:00 — Segment 2: The cost nobody names27:30 — Segment 3: Reframing "awakening" + the two-question discernment tool40:00 — Segment 4: What's underneath — three journal prompts50:00 — Segment 5: Guided meditation — meeting the self beneath the performanceLive Event BendigoAre You Listening Workshop - connect with your guidesZoom Mediumship DemonstrationMatilda's WebsiteSocial Media LinksPatreonSupport the showYOU TUBE LICENCE LTA5NNMWIHNMEQC5Support the show

In this episode of The Penis Project Podcast, Melissa is joined by Dr Eve Tiong, a radiation oncologist with Icon Cancer Centre in Western Australia, for a deep dive into how prostate radiotherapy has changed and why many of the horror stories people associate with radiation no longer reflect modern practice.  Dr Tiong walks through the shift from older, broad-field radiation techniques to today's highly targeted approach, explaining how image guidance and modulated delivery now concentrate dose on the prostate while sharply reducing exposure to the bladder and bowel. She and Melissa unpack what this means in practical terms for urinary, bowel and sexual side effects, and discuss how rectal spacer gel is helping to protect bowel function during treatment.  The conversation also covers how patients and their clinicians weigh up surgery versus radiation, the role of hormone therapy for higher-risk cancers, the difference between external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, and the emergence of focal therapy as a less invasive option for carefully selected men. Throughout, Dr Tiong returns to a consistent theme: informed decision-making, honest counselling about trade-offs, and the importance of taking sexual health and quality of life seriously at every stage of the prostate cancer journey.  In This Episode, We Cover  Men on active surveillance who want to understand what triggers a move to treatment  Modern radiotherapy is far more targeted than the broad “four-field box” approach used decades ago, sharply reducing dose to the bladder and bowel  Severe long-term side effects from contemporary radiotherapy now sit below 5%  Rectal spacer gel can further protect the bowel during treatment and dissolves naturally within four to six months  Cure rates for surgery and radiation are equivalent for low-grade and favourable intermediate-risk prostate cancer  Focal therapy, treating only the affected area of the prostate, is now emerging as an option in WA  Sexual health and continence should be part of every prostate cancer conversation, regardless of treatment type  higher-risk cancers  PSA monitoring after treatment, the significance of the 0.2 threshold, and emerging PSMA PET tracers  Reframing relapsed or advanced prostate cancer as a manageable, often chronic condition rather than an immediate death sentence  Key Message from Eve  A cancer diagnosis, including relapse, is not automatically a worst-case outcome. With the range of treatments now available, many men go on to live full, active lives for many years, and ongoing advances continue to expand what is possible.  Resources & Links  https://iconcancercentre.com.au/doctors/eve-tiong/  Steve's YouTube channel – personal stories and practical experience from a prostate cancer survivor: Everyday Prostate Cancer Warrior on YouTube  Book a telehealth appointment with our sexual health nurse practitioners at Restorative Health Clinic  For more information check out our websites www.rshealth.com.au , www.makehardeasy.com.au and www.melissahadleybarrett.com.au   Steve Fisher YouTube link to his Everyday Prostate Cancer Warrior. https://youtu.be/APLm1W8uPBA?si=SfaA9A74GqMNcvUq  Click here to shop the Sompatherapy Pumps: The Touch II Automatic Pump, and the Response II Manual Pump  Click here to watch Melissa's YouTube video: Most Men Use the SOMA VED Wrong | Here's the Correct Way    Book a telehealth consultation with our sexual health nurse practitioners:  Restorative Health Clinic    For more information visit our websites:  www.rshealth.com.au  www.makehardeasy.com.au  www.melissahadleybarrett.com    Need Support?  At Restorative Health Clinic, we support men and their partners with:  Penile rehabilitation after prostate cancer treatment  Erectile dysfunction  Vacuum pump and constriction ring education and prescription  Penile injection therapy  Intimacy and sexual recovery  Partner-inclusive support where appropriate  Practical, evidence-based strategies for rebuilding confidence and function    We offer telehealth consultations Australia-wide and internationally, making it easier for men to access experienced, compassionate support no matter where they live.

Comedian and creator Laura Clery built a media empire of 26 million followers, and then watched her marriage and her bank account collapse at the same time. Laura opens up about the financial wreckage of her divorce: how her ex-husband's relapse and addiction affected their financial lives, how she ended up paying two mortgages at once without fully understanding why, and the surreal moment she realized her water had been shut off. She walks Nicole through the costly mistake of choosing mediation over hiring a lawyer, why she couldn't afford the retainer when she finally needed one, and the moment her ex hacked her YouTube and Facebook accounts, deleting years of content and her entire livelihood in the process. Nicole and Laura also get into the bigger financial lessons: why Laura now insists every woman keep her own separate bank account, how watching her mother stay in a difficult marriage without financial independence shaped her own choices, and how she rebuilt. But first, Laura shares about the freak accident that almost killed her.

Building a tutoring nonprofit that now serves 25,000 students a year — with a vision to reach millions — required someone who'd lived the exact gap she was trying to close. Aly Murray grew up a low-income student raised by a single immigrant mother, moved through a string of Title 1 schools, and felt firsthand what it's like to navigate homework and college applications without support at home. She left a trading job at JP Morgan eight years ago to build Upchieve, a nonprofit offering free, 24/7 human tutoring and college counseling to every Title 1 middle and high school student in the country. Her work is backed by a Gates Foundation-funded study comparing human and AI tutoring, and Upchieve now partners with schools, districts, and CMOs at a cost of about 50 cents per tutoring session. Most school tutoring programs run from 3 to 5pm — and that single design choice quietly locks out the students who need help the most. Aly Murray, founder of the nonprofit Upchieve, built a 24/7 human tutoring program instead, and the data on why AI can't replace it yet might surprise you.

In this week's episode of The Collective Table, guest speaker Larry Warner fills in to deliver a much-needed message on the profound necessity of rest. Exploring passages from Mark, Matthew, Genesis, and Exodus, Larry challenges our culture's obsession with constant productivity. He reframes rest—not as a selfish indulgence or simply "taking a nap"—but as a divine gift of refreshment and a vital practice rooted in our "original goodness." Tune in to discover the different categories of rest you might be missing (physical, mental, emotional, sensory, and creative) and learn how embracing the unforced rhythms of grace allows us to love and serve our communities more freely.

In this return episode, Anika and Dick Wybrow break down the exact mindset shift required to transition between industries, why independent publishing outperforms traditional deals for genre fiction, and the counterintuitive truth about building a sustainable creative business: it's not about chasing trends—it's about finding your authentic voice and the people who love it.In This EpisodeCareer pivot from broadcast to books: How 20 years in comedy and TV prepared him for writing—and why it required complete humilityThe case for indie publishing: Why control, speed, and 70% royalties beat traditional publishing's marketing machineFinding your niche in a crowded market: Why humor is his unfair advantage against AI and how to defend your work in 2026Building a dedicated readership from zero: The power of responding to every email and comment—and why word-of-mouth beats paid adsThe narcolepsy reframe: How he transformed a "disability" into a creativity superpowerAudience growth without the hype: Why you don't announce your book—you quietly build your team of readersThe Substack experiment: Serializing a prequel, building SEO, and getting two revenue bites from one storyBalancing workaholic tendencies with life: Calendar blocking, time limits on creative tasks, and why delegation mattersFive actionable tips for aspiring authors: The exact framework for finishing your first book (no perfectionism allowed)The faith factor: How becoming a Christian shifted his storytelling toward hope and championing marginalized charactersTimestamps07:11 Learning humor writing: Mentors, analysis, and understanding structure11:35 Why independent publishing was the only option for his stories19:22 Why humor is the ultimate AI defense23:11 Finding your first dedicated readers: Authenticity and personal response31:06 Substack as serialization, SEO, and future revenue34:17 Calendar blocking and reframing narcolepsy as a creativity superpower40:09 Five tips for aspiring authors: The exact framework for finishing your book46:15 How faith shifted his storytelling toward hope and purposeKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Skill Transfer Requires Humility, Not ConfidenceDick had 20 years of broadcast success. Writing books is a different craft entirely. Rather than assuming he knew how to write, he became a student—finding mentors, analyzing structure in published works, and accepting he had "permission to be stupid" about the new medium. Confidence kills learning.Insight 2: Independent Publishing Wins for Niche VoicesTraditional publishers reject stories that are "strange" or don't fit market categories. Independent publishing gives you three critical advantages: (1) Complete creative control, (2) 3-4x faster release schedules, (3) 70% royalties instead of $1 per $14.99 book. For passionate authors with unique voices, this isn't a trade-off—it's freedom.Insight 3: Humor Is Your Unfair Advantage Against AIAI can generate content at scale. AI cannot be funny. Humor is what Dick calls "cultural voodoo"—nobody can define it precisely enough to code it. By writing humor-forward genre fiction, he's built immunity to AI competition that pure genre writers don't have. Authenticity and voice beat volume every time.Insight 4: Your Readers Are Built One Person at a TimeDick didn't build a following through viral moments. He built it by responding personally to every email and comment. Readers who feel seen become advocates. One person from 2019 (Neil) has been a loyal reader for seven years. That's lifetime value that no algorithm can buy.Insight 5: Five Steps to Actually Finish Your BookWrite the book you want to read (don't chase trends)Don't announce it (avoid the dopamine hit that kills momentum)Find 2-3 trusted readers (not family)Set a daily writing goal (even one sentence counts)Finish before you fix (first drafts are garbage—that's the point)The real permission slip: Give yourself permission to write badly. Every author writes garbage first drafts. Revision is where the work happens.Insight 6: Your Limitations Are Often Your Unfair AdvantagesDick has narcolepsy—he's half-asleep most of the time. Rather than fighting it, he reframed it as his creativity engine. Being in a dream-state means his mind wanders into places other people don't naturally go. That's where his best story ideas come from. The lesson: reframe, don't resist.Resources & Links MentionedDDUB Publishing (Dick's independent publishing company)Hell Inc. and Wolfwear series (bestselling collections)The The Facilite Con (sci-fi heist comedy, August 2026 release)Substack (serialization platform for prequel content)Facebook Ads Library (research tool for ad copy analysis)Joe Abercrombie's "The Devils" (humor writing structure reference)About Dick WybrowDick Wybrow spent 20 years as a standup comedian, radio host, and TV producer (including work on CNN's early comedy newscast with Pete Dominic).

Mark welcomes Calvin Correlli, founder and CEO of Simplero, an all-in-one SaaS platform combining courses, community, email, payments, and AI for coaches and creator-led brands.

He recounts building businesses, scaling a consulting firm, then taking a risky leap to focus on product and coaching. Calvin explains his personal development framework: 1.0 motivation, 2.0 healing work, and 3.0 identity-level transformation that drops the “something is wrong with me” mindset.

Dr. Beckett and Darin Ostrom discuss how to get Darin's deeply researched history of 1990s sports cards published when his YouTube viewership is limited and traditional publishers want authors with large followings. They explore obstacles like fragmented digital audiences, declining print publishing, lack of wholesale distribution, and the need for a clear “hook” that drives virality beyond an educational or nostalgia angle. Possible paths include self-publishing via Amazon with shorter serialized volumes, pre-ordering through card shops to reduce risk, and partnerships or sponsorships with companies like Collectors/Beckett Media, PSA/SMR, or Fanatics by fitting content into existing magazines as multi-part articles. They also note competition from free content and AI, and suggest stronger concepts like registries or “100 iconic '90s cards” lists to motivate buyers.   00:27 YouTube Chapters to Book 01:36 Why Publishers Pass 03:53 Self Publishing Lessons 05:26 Digital Serialization Strategy 06:57 Preorders and Card Shop Marketing 09:32 Sponsors and Magazine Serialization 14:02 Competing With Free and AI 16:12 Finding the Viral Hook 19:05 Reframing for Collectors 20:14 Audience Spectrum and Examples

In Part 1 of our summer sermon series highlight, Cory begins the Reframe series by asking one of the biggest questions many Christians have never considered:What if the spiritual battle we've been taught to fight isn't what the New Testament is actually describing?For generations, many believers have viewed the Christian life through the lens of spiritual warfare, fear, and unseen enemies. But what if Jesus accomplished more than we've realized? What if the New Testament is inviting us to live from victory instead of constantly fighting for it?In this first message, Cory walks through Scripture to challenge common assumptions about spiritual warfare, the Armor of God, strongholds, principalities and powers, and what Paul was actually communicating in Ephesians 6. Rather than encouraging believers to live in fear of an ongoing cosmic battle, he presents a Christ-centered perspective that emphasizes identity, peace, healing, and the finished work of Jesus.Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, this message is designed to provoke thoughtful conversation and encourage you to examine Scripture through the lens of Christ.00:00 - Introduction & Summer Reframe Series02:34 - Welcome to Hill City & Pastor Appreciation04:36 - Christ in You & Hearing God's Voice06:21 - Why This Series Will Challenge You08:23 - The Purpose Behind Reframe10:00 - From Fear-Driven Thinking to Peace-Filled Living12:13 - Fix Your Eyes on Jesus13:21 - Reframing the Battlefield15:19 - The Problem with Spiritual Warfare Thinking19:52 - Good & Evil or Functional & Dysfunctional?21:31 - What Strongholds Really Are22:01 - Understanding Ephesians 6 in Context24:26 - The Armor of God Is About Identity26:05 - Principalities, Powers & Human Systems29:09 - What Does "Satan" Actually Mean?31:55 - The Armor of God Revisited35:22 - You're an Ambassador, Not a Soldier36:19 - Fear-Based Living vs Faith-Based Living37:42 - Christ Has Already Won the Victory39:06 - The Law, Sin & Standing Firm40:14 - Christ Disarmed Every Power41:15 - Leaving Law Behind for Grace43:19 - Living from Victory Instead of Warfare45:35 - Preview: Reframing Demons & Final Encouragement

When most people hear the word "discipline", they think consequences, punishments or stopping bad behavior in the moment. But what if we've been thinking about discipline too narrowly? We are reframing discipline in toddlers through a completely different lens. One rooted in connection, development and emotional regulation. Because toddler "misbehavior" isn't usually about manipulation or defiance. More often, it's communication.  To help us create developmentally appropriate expectations, we are joined by two experts. Julia Palozzi, PsyD, specializes in child psychology here at Children's Hospital Colorado and is an instructor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Alyson Hatten, MS, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in child counseling as well as infant and early childhood mental health. She also is an assistant professor.  Some highlights from this episode include: Reframing what children can't do into what they can do  Why allowing emotional dysregulation is critical to a child's development  Setting developmentally appropriate expectations Discipline strategies and how pediatricians can guide families to utilize them For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
