The idea of "having it all" can feel inspiring, unrealistic, or even frustrating depending on who you ask. For many ambitious women, it often feels like there is an invisible tradeoff between success, family, health, relationships, and the things that matter most.      In this episode, I talk with colleague and client, Binie Klein, about what it really means to have it all and why the answer may be different than you think. We explore how Binie defines a fulfilling life, the role priorities play in shaping your choices, and why being intentional with your time is about much more than productivity.                               For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/294               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf           Learn more about Binie's work: binieklein.com

It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

Mark Scandrette has spent over twenty years wrestling with a hard realization: knowing a lot about God doesn't mean you're good at following Jesus. Dave Kludt spent fifteen years in pastoral ministry learning that everything, down to how you arrange the chairs in a room, forms people. Together they co-teach a Doctor of Ministry cohort at Fuller Seminary built around two words: integral and embodied. Mark is the founder of Reimagine and author of Practicing the Way of Jesus and The Ninefold Path of Jesus, and a longtime friend of the podcast (he first joined us back on episode 112). Dave is the president of Reimagine's board, a former pastor of 15 years, and Mark's partner in this new cohort, a Substack, and an upcoming podcast.IN THIS CONVERSATION:Why "getting more information" doesn't lead to transformation, and what doesWhat Dave means by an "integral" approach to formation, and why it starts with facing the world's fractures honestlyWhat Mark means by "embodied" formation, and the Learning Lab model Reimagine uses to teach by doingWhy the leader of a Learning Lab has to be a participant, not just an expertMoving from a "closed fist" to an "open hand" posture toward your next stepWhy discomfort with failure gets in the way of formation in many churchesHow Mark and Dave use the Enneagram as a formation tool, not a personality quizThe "formation edges" Mark and Dave are each working on right nowMark and Dave's hopes for the Fuller Doctor of Ministry cohort on integral and embodied formationRELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:markscandrette.com — Mark's websitereimagine.org — Mark and Dave's organizationFuller Seminary's Doctor of Ministry programBooks mentioned:Practicing the Way of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteThe Ninefold Path of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteRELATED EPISODES:The Beatitudes and Spiritual Leadership, with Mark ScandretteThe Spiritual Life of a Leader, with Tod BolsingerThe Neuroscience of Spiritual Formation, with Jim WilderSend me a text!

This episode dives into the crucial need to redefine agriculture education for today's society. I share my personal journey, insights into food systems, and why foundational knowledge about where our food comes from is more vital than ever—regardless of whether you're a farmer or not. The disconnect between conventional agriculture education and real-world needs Why understanding food, soil, and farm systems is essential for everyone How COVID, supply chain disruptions, and AI are shifting perspectives on local and small-scale farming The historical evolution of agricultural education and its current shortcomings Practical steps to incorporate meaningful agriculture lessons into homes and communities The importance of fostering purpose, resilience, and responsibility in the next generation The role of homeschooling, community involvement, and local sourcing in building a stable food future Resources & Links: Courses and curriculum for agricultural literacy: https://www.thehomesteadeducation.com/homesteadeducationcurriculum Homesteading Summer Courses — 25% off mini courses with code SUMMER25: https://www.thehomesteadeducation.com/coupon-code/SUMMER25/sc-page/summer-on-the-homestead-kickoff-sale/ Homestead Family Reading List: https://thehomesteadeducation.myflodesk.com/homestead-reading-list Connect with Kody Hanner: Website: https://www.thehomesteadeducation.com/  Instagram: https://instagram.com/homestead_education  Facebook: https://facebook.com/homesteadeducation  Remember: agriculture is the foundation of civilization.

Every coaching business has two roles running behind the scenes: the part of you making the big decisions and the part of you doing the day-to-day work. When those two roles are not communicating clearly, your business can start to feel heavier, more chaotic, or harder to run than it needs to.       In this episode, I talk about the relationship between your inner CEO and inner employee and how that dynamic shapes the way you make decisions, follow through, evaluate results, and talk to yourself when things do not go as planned. This is not about spending more time as the CEO and less time as the employee, but about understanding how both roles show up in your business.                                For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/293               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach               Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

If you've ever felt lost in the busyness of life and unsure where to begin, this one's for you.In this episode, we explore:Why have so many midlife women lost touch with what they truly want?How collecting information isn't the same as making real changeWhy midlife is actually one of the most exciting times to get to know yourselfHow small, manageable steps lead to big shifts over timeIf you've been waiting for a gentle, private place to start reconnecting with yourself, this episode might be exactly what you've been looking for.Resources mentioned:Rediscover You – https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/shop (also available via DM on Instagram — just send the word rediscover)Connect with JoBook a 20-minute connection call: ⁠https://calendly.com/jo--138/20min?month=2025-07⁠Re Imagine mentoring: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/work-with-me⁠Resources and programmes: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/shopInstagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/⁠LinkedIn:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/⁠

Guest post by Shefaly M. Yogendra, Ph.D. Her book "Uncharted Spaces. Reset the Agenda. Reimagine the Boardroom." is out now. A recent Institute of Directors Ireland snap poll of Irish business leaders found that most directors use AI tools with varying degrees of confidence, and a majority believes AI adoption is critical for competitiveness and relevance. However fully two-thirds are not confident about their understanding of the impact of the Regulation of AI Bill 2026 on their business. Fewer than half of the boards have discussed AI governance in the last year. This suggests a gap in broader AI fluency and hence potentially deficient guardrails and governance mechanisms. While there is huge opportunity, risks need to be managed smartly too. E.g. a 3GEM research report found that while 89% of Irish SME workers actively use AI tools in their daily workflows, only 44% of those organizations have a formal AI policy or strategy. In plain English this is a shadow IT challenge. On steroids. How could Irish SME boards enable strategic success for their businesses, such as by ensuring safe, responsible, compliant AI adoption? Here are some actionable ideas. Relevant skills: A recent EY CHRO 2030 survey found that Generative AI adoption and the transition to a green economy are both accelerating at the same time. This means that skills that did not really crystallise even five years ago are needed urgently. It is crucial to get hiring right and to build strategic, ongoing skills development capacity in the business. This change would start with the board and the executive leadership team, underpinned by a regularly updated, dynamic skills matrix. The skills matrix needs to move away from box-ticking with the static safety of well-known employers and past big titles, and move towards active exploration of experience, capabilities, and evidence of growth and reflection. This will of course change sourcing, interviewing, and appointment of candidates, and then how the board evaluates its own construction continually for relevance. Relevant mindsets: In addition to hiring for demonstrable capabilities and skills, future-relevant boards need mindsets that shape the business for future success. A changed mindset would view compliance and governance not as burdens or checklists but as enablers of growth and client acquisition. Cubic Telecom's well-known governance evolution serves as an illustrative example. Following a capital event where SoftBank became a majority owner, the board reconfigured itself to balance global ambition with local roots and operational agility. SoftBank-appointed directors serve alongside strategic customer observers from Audi and Qualcomm, while the founder and CEO Barry Napier helps bridge the company's Irish product roots with its international ambition. Barespace provides another live example, this time of how high-calibre, enterprise-grade governance could be designed and implemented well, right from the start. Following a €2.9 million seed round in September 2025, the company appointed prominent Irish VC and tech veteran Brian Caulfield as Chair of the board. Its strategic advisers include Rick Kelley and Barry Napier, who bring growth and strategic nous to the boardroom right from the foundational stage. The wisdom of these choices is borne out in the experiences of building new businesses, where specialists, hands-on warriors and famous names all play specific roles in the shaping of the business. Relevant cadence: Future-relevant boards need a different workflow and cadence than the current practice of quarterly, compliance-centric approaches. Rolling strategic reviews would serve the business well especially with shrinking and super-short technology hype cycles. These hype cycles do not need reactive, kneejerk responses but steady and calm leadership to steer the business through a time of rapid change. Wild success, however we define it, is not accidental but deliberate. Culture as the underpinning e...

There comes a point in many coaching businesses when what once worked starts to feel harder to sustain. Not because anything is wrong, but because you've grown, your priorities have changed, or the business you've built no longer fits the life you want to live.     In this episode, I talk with one of my incredible clients, Melisa Liberman, about the process of reimagining her coaching business. We explore her transition from years of one-on-one coaching to group programs, the mindset shifts that made those changes possible, and how she learned to focus on solving the right problem at the right time rather than getting distracted by everything that might come next.                             For full show notes, transcript, and to join the waitlist for Reimagine, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/292               Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach               Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf      Learn more about Melisa's work: melisaliberman.com

Brother Kaushic spoke on Luke 8:22-25 during Part 3 of the Re:Imagine sermon series, where we learned that behind every storm, there is a PURPOSE.

The CareWorks Project provides technical expertise on issues such as workforce, caregiving, aging, and long-term services and supports financing. It also supports leaders around issues related to narrative change and strategic communications. And it helps design programs and initiatives related to long-term care, and assists with leadership and organizational development. While wages and benefits are a top need of direct care workers, they also need strong training programs that reflect today's competencies, along with honest career pathways, a wide range of workforce supports from transportation to child care, and respect, Espinoza said. Direct care workers remain largely invisible and society. There was a temporary moving of the needle during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a surge of appreciation for work that direct care workers do, but it did not lead to sound policy changes that materially improve their lives. If he had a magic wand, he'd create a long-term care financing system, along with the creation of policy and structural arrangements that allow people to age in place in their homes and communities. What concerns Espinoza most is the pervasive belief that care is a private burden as opposed to a public responsibility.

The pressure to look a certain way, age a certain way, measure up to images that may not even be real, it's everywhere, and it's exhausting. In this episode, Jo Clark sits down with Jo Harvey, the refreshingly candid voice behind the Instagram community 50 So What, for the kind of conversation that feels less like a podcast and more like finally saying the quiet part out loud with a friend who actually gets it.In this episode, we explore:Why so much of what we see on social media and in advertising simply isn't real — and why that matters for midlife womenThe judgment women face around how they choose to age, and where that judgment really comes fromHow brands are targeting midlife women, and why who is doing the selling matters just as much as what's being soldThe quiet power of going through hard times — and how Jo's journey through anxiety shaped the woman and advocate she is todayWhy a smaller, more honest circle of friends can be one of the greatest gifts of midlifeIf you've ever scrolled through your phone and come away feeling a little less than, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.Listen to the previous episode with Jo Harvey mentioned in this discussion belowhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5WjITj7OD1zjTHc7diBTb2?si=v-mpORubTaifT6RNBInRAA Connect with Jo HarveyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/50sowhatofficial/Website: https://50sowhat.com.au/ Connect with Jo ClarkBook a 20-minute connection call: ⁠https://calendly.com/jo--138/20min?month=2025-07⁠Re Imagine mentoring: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/work-with-me⁠Resources and programmes: ⁠https://www.joclarkcoaching.com/resources⁠Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/⁠LinkedIn:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/⁠

Seth and Sean discuss the Astros losing and if it's time for an actual rebuild yet, if they buy that this is Aaron Rodgers' last season, and go through the day's headlines.

If your organization isn't obsessed with how fast your people can learn, you're already falling behind in the race to "out-learn" the competition. In this episode, I'm joined by Susan LaMonica, the Chief Human Resource Officer at Citizens Financial Group—a super-regional bank with $226 billion in assets and 18,000 employees.  We explore how they are driving a massive workforce transformation to build a team that is ready for the future of work. We dive deep into their journey of becoming a skills-based organization and how they use a "skills taxonomy" and an internal talent marketplace to support mobility and career development. Susan also explains their "measured approach" to AI governance within a heavily regulated industry, including the role of their Generative AI Council. We unpack their "Reimagine the Bank" initiative, where they are rethinking 47 different business processes to drive value and effectiveness. From launching internal "gigs" to tracking productivity metrics like customer NPS and employee sentiment, this conversation is a strategic guide for any leader looking to blend high-tech tools with a human-centered culture.

The voice in your head, the one that whispers you're too much or not enough, or that it's all too late, can run your life. In this solo episode, Jo unpacks the inner critic: what it actually is, why it gets so loud in midlife, and three powerful ways to start quietening it.

In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Nate McClennen sits down with Vriti Saraf, CEO of Ed3, to explore a timely and essential question: How do we move from using AI for efficiency to using AI for human flourishing in education? Drawing on Ed3's new research, The Emerging Role of Teachers in the Age of AI, the conversation examines how artificial intelligence is already reshaping teaching, why the future of education must center human relationships, and what new teacher personas—like learning architect, life navigator, and community connector—might emerge in more adaptive, student-centered systems. Together, Nate and Vriti unpack the risks of automation, the promise of redesigned educator roles, and why this moment demands not just better tools, but a bold rethinking of teaching, learning, and equity.

RUG: HOW TO MOVE WHAT YOU'RE TRIPPING OVER AND LEAD WITH H.E.A.R.T. What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't your team, your competition, or even the economy? What if it's the invisible rug you keep tripping over? We all have rugs. Outdated habits trip us up. Silent expectations catch us off guard. Limiting beliefs go unquestioned for years. These hidden barriers sabotage our progress in life and leadership until disruption finally forces us to confront them. RUG reveals how to uncover the patterns holding you back.

On this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast, step back and reassess your retirement plan as Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase examine what may drive retirement happiness. Connect financial independence, taxes, and today's economic backdrop into a clearer long-term perspective. See how big decisions, from pensions to property taxes to market uncertainty, may fit together to help evaluate what matters most for your own path. • Reimagine how achieving financial independence may shift your sense of purpose, and consider ways to redirect that drive toward a more fulfilling retirement. • Size up how property taxes may shape where you live and your retirement comfort level over time. • Stack up lump-sum versus pension-income options to help understand the trade-offs among flexibility, longevity risk, and steady income. • Map out retirement withdrawal strategies using historical market data and behavioral factors, while recognizing that outcomes may vary. • Make sense of today's “mixed signals” economy by connecting jobs data, corporate margins, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy as context, not predictions. • Think through options for late starters and compare 529 plans with Solo Roth 401(k)s as potentially flexible ways to approach education funding within a broader plan.

You're the exhausted homeschool mom — you must serve, you must nurture, and you must provide. If you identify as the exhausted homeschool mom, ‘ve learned that you're pushing beyond your capacity. You're making loads of decisions before lunch, absorbing everyone's emotions like they’re yours, and by evening you have nothing left — not for yourself, sometimes not even for the people you love most. Likely, you're not treating yourself like a human being who has needs. You're a mother, so you must serve, you must nurture, and you must provide. And though that calling is beautiful — deeply, genuinely beautiful — somewhere along the way the role swallowed the woman. You've disappeared inside your own life. And you feel it, even if you haven't had words for it until now. I've been homeschooling for 20 years. I've been coaching homeschool mamas since 2019. And in hundreds of conversations with women who are smart, devoted, and deeply committed to their families, I see the same eight struggles surface again and again. Read slowly. Notice which one makes you take a sigh of relief. That's the one that's been waiting to be named. What We Covered in The Exhausted Homeschool Mom Episode The exhausted homeschool mom wants to fully embrace her life — but she can’t, because she’s disappeared inside it. Here are the reasons I’ve seen as I coach homeschool moms. 1. Emotional & Mental Exhaustion You are absorbing everyone's stress. Every single day. Your child's frustration with math becomes your frustration. Their bad mood lands in your body. You're making hundreds of decisions before noon — academic, relational, logistical — and by evening, you have nothing left. This isn't weakness. This is what happens when one person carries more than a person was designed to carry alone. It deserves to be named — not pushed through. 2. Lost Identity You're so deep in the homeschool mom role that you've forgotten who you are beneath it. That eight-year-old version of you — the one who wanted space to follow her own rabbit trails, develop her own interests, have a seat at her own table — she's been sitting in the waiting room for years. You are not just a homeschool mom. You are a woman with her own story, her own gifts, her own inner life. And she's still in there, waiting. 3. No Routine or Structure That Actually Works You have good intentions. You've tried the planners, the schedules, the systems. But nothing sticks. Either it's too rigid and you're fighting it by Wednesday, or it's so loose that every day feels like starting over. A sustainable homeschool rhythm starts with understanding yourself — how you're wired, what depletes you, and what genuinely refills you. 4. Burnout & Loss of Motivation You started this journey on fire. You had vision, energy, a reason. Now you're just trying to get through the week. The passion is gone, and guilt has moved in to fill the space. Guilt that you're not doing enough, guilt that you're not enjoying this anymore, and guilt that you even feel this way when you're the one who chose it. Burnout is not a character flaw. It is a signal. 5. Decision Fatigue & Mental Fog The questions never stop. Which curriculum? Which approach? Am I covering everything? Are they behind? Am I doing this right? The mental load of homeschooling is staggering. And when you're already exhausted, those questions don't just pile up — they cloud everything. Coaching helps you quiet that noise and find your own steady voice underneath it. 6. Isolation or Feeling Lonely You stepped outside the traditional school system, which means you also stepped outside the ready-made community that comes with it. And it can be lonely in ways that are hard to explain — not just the practical loneliness of being home all day, but the deeper loneliness of feeling unseen. Like no one in your regular life truly understands what you're living. 7. Disconnection from Your Why You had a vision that made you choose this path. Somewhere in the daily grind of lesson planning and laundry and trying to keep everyone fed and learning and okay, that vision got buried. Now you're executing tasks. Getting through the day. But you're not living with purpose — and you can feel the difference. 8. Inability to Set Boundaries You can't say no. You can't claim time for yourself without guilt. And quietly, underneath it all, there's a resentment building — which then brings its own guilt, because you love these people. Boundaries aren't walls. They're what make it possible for you to show up genuinely, generously, and without resentment. Learning to set them is one of the most loving things you can do for everyone in your life, including yourself. Exhausted Homeschool Mom: You're Not Failing. You're Carrying Too Much. If you recognized yourself in any of these eight things, that recognition is the beginning of something. The version of you that your kids need most — present, purposeful, at peace — she doesn't appear when you try harder. She appears when you finally give yourself permission to matter too. What Change Looks Like… “This retreat is for anyone who has lost sight of themselves while living a busy life and wants to refocus on what's truly important. I hope all your retreats bear fruit in deflated women like me, changing their defeat into delight once again, or for the first time. I was looking for hope — and the tools unpacked in this retreat have given me hope.” —Chari, Homeschool Mama of 4 A Special Offer for the Exhausted Homeschool Mom: Reimagine & Renew Workshop If this episode resonated, I'd love to see you at my small, live virtual Workshop this Friday.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Stephanie Baker, Chief Experience Officer and artist. She highlights her journey of moving beyond achievement, sharing how embracing vulnerability, creativity, and leading with empathy has redefined what true success means, for herself, her teams, and those she mentors. In today's episode, we discuss: Reimagine your definition of success. Step back from titles and checkboxes. Ask yourself whether your work aligns with your core values and your true impact. When your work is a reflection of who you are, fulfillment finds you, not the other way around. Lead with empathy and inclusion. Performance isn't just about KPIs; it's about how people feel in your presence. When you foster empathy, inclusion, and psychological safety, you build teams that are resilient, innovative, and engaged at every level. Make becoming a lifelong pursuit. You don't have to have it all figured out. The most effective, impactful leaders are those who stay open to growth and keep redefining who they are—at work and in life. Protect your energy unapologetically. Learn to say "no"—and realize that it's a complete sentence. Being deliberate with your time and focus allows you to say "yes" to what truly matters and show up at your best. Give yourself permission to explore new interests. Try picking up something new—painting, mentoring, creating. You never know which hidden strengths or sources of joy are waiting for you. (Check out her paintings in the show notes.

What does it take to build something that lasts—not just for years, but across generations? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Alfredo De Massis, a globally recognized expert on family enterprise and author of The Family Business Book: A Roadmap for Entrepreneurial Families to Prosper Across Generations. As one of the most cited scholars in the field and a trusted advisor to multi-generational family businesses around the world, De Massis offers a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world relevance.But don't expect a conversation limited to family-owned companies. This episode is about how all leaders—especially those responsible for long-term value—can rethink legacy, leadership, and innovation. De Massis argues that great leaders don't just pass down businesses; they design systems that outlast them. From ownership mindsets to innovation strategy and governance architecture, the conversation provides a blueprint for building organizations that remain relevant and resilient across time.A central theme of the discussion is the distinction between succession planning and legacy design. De Massis challenges the outdated belief that continuity depends on finding the next version of the current leader. Instead, he introduces the concept of the "family galaxy"—a flexible, multi-entity model that allows different generations to thrive in different ways, based on their talents and motivations. He also breaks down the three layers of governance essential for long-term success: business governance, family governance, and the often-overlooked interface between them.For CEOs, board members, and senior executives thinking beyond quarterly results, this conversation delivers both intellectual depth and actionable insight. It's a masterclass in how to lead with intention—not just for today, but for the future you won't be around to control.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why the best leaders don't plan succession—they design systems for continued relevance.Hear how to reframe ownership as a responsibility to be developed, not a status to be inherited.Explore the “family galaxy” model—and how to structure a system where multiple generations can create value.Understand how great organizations govern at three levels—and why ignoring the “interface” layer can derail everything.Discover why tradition can be a strategic asset when leaders know how to reinterpret—not resist—it.Learn how emotional dynamics influence strategic decisions in family and legacy enterprises.Find out why leadership earned through credibility—not entitlement—is key to generational success.Get practical insights into how to align governance, ownership, and innovation around shared purpose.Take away powerful questions to evaluate whether your legacy is built to evolve—or simply to endure.Connect with Alfredo De MassisAlfredo De Massis LinkedInAlfredo De Massis IMDThe Family Business BookConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
