What happens when the challenges you've spent years trying to overcome become the very experiences that shape who you're capable of becoming? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with Tom LeNoble, a former executive at companies including MCI, Palm, Walmart.com, and Facebook, who has been given six months to live three separate times and has lived with metastatic cancer for the past fourteen years. Rather than allowing those diagnoses to define his life, Tom has built his philosophy around three powerful principles: risk, resilience, and reinvention. We dig into what it actually looks like to stop living in the past, stop waiting for a "do-over," and start using your past as evidence of what you're capable of. Tom shares how his childhood, health crises, and willingness to take enormous risks—including leaving a dream corporate position to join a then-little-known Facebook—shaped the way he now advises executives and professionals. We also explore the hidden problems beneath the problems people bring to coaching, the six forms of energy that can become imbalanced, why curiosity and psychological safety can accelerate change, and how "acting as if" can help you move toward a life that doesn't yet exist. This is a conversation about resilience, but more importantly, it's about what becomes possible when you decide that your past can inform your future without controlling it. Highlights (01:56) – Risk, resilience, and reinvention: Tom explains how two life-threatening illnesses forced him to rethink conventional approaches and develop the three principles that now guide his work with executives. (02:59) – Stop waiting for the "do-over": We explore why living in the past can consume the time, energy, and consciousness you need to actually create your future. (04:10) – The problem beneath the problem: Tom reveals why clients often arrive with one business question but leave with an entirely different answer—and how going one or two layers deeper can uncover what's really blocking them. (04:58) – Turn your past into evidence, not a ball and chain: Tom explains how previous experiences can either keep you stuck or become proof that you're capable of handling what comes next. (07:17) – The six forms of energy: We break down how time, physical vitality, relationships, money, support, and other forms of energy interact—and how depletion in one area can create problems everywhere else. (08:17) – Are you missing the butterfly?: Tom shares a powerful metaphor for how being mentally stuck in the last email, conversation, or upcoming meeting can cause us to miss the renewal and opportunities happening right in front of us. (08:55) – Stop searching for the story that makes you look good: We talk about how entrepreneurs and leaders can filter their own experiences through the wrong lens—and miss the stories and insights that would actually connect with their audience. (10:23) – Curiosity as a coaching superpower: Tom explains how watching behavior, facial expressions, and vocal inflection helps him identify what's really happening beneath someone's words and create a safe space for honest conversations. (11:57) – The investor call that was costing an executive his relationship: Tom shares a specific example of helping an executive recognize that the sacrifices he thought were necessary for business success were actually creating the same relationship problems he had experienced before. (13:57) – What changes when you're told you have six months to live: Tom describes the perspective shift that comes from facing death repeatedly—and why he became more interested in what he could do while living than in dwelling on the possibility of dying. (14:39) – Resilience is a muscle: Tom explains why resilience gets stronger through use and why looking forward, rather than wallowing in what happened, can fundamentally change how we experience adversity. (16:14) – The lifestyle that forced Tom to wake up: Tom gets specific about the years when he worked 12–14 hour days, partied afterward, neglected his health, and lived almost entirely for future outcomes. (18:34) – Growing up in "the shack": Tom takes us back to his childhood without hot water or a refrigerator and explains how realizing at age five that his life was different became an early catalyst for risk, resilience, and reinvention. (21:01) – The phone call that changed everything: Tom tells the story of being recruited by Facebook when it was still a little-known company, interviewing with a 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, and taking the enormous risk of leaving his dream job at Palm. (23:50) – Building a career while fighting for your health: Tom reveals what it was really like working at Facebook while dealing with a serious diagnosis—including being more concerned about where the bathroom was than whether he was in the right meeting room. (25:01) – My attempt to reflect Tom's story back to him: I take everything Tom has shared and connect the pieces—from his health struggles and relentless work ethic to his decision to fight forward and reinvent his life. (28:55) – Why your story can reveal possibilities you didn't see before: Tom explains why having someone accurately reflect your story back to you can help you see the person you're capable of becoming. (29:29) – The hidden power of writing your own story: Tom shares why writing his memoir was so cathartic and why every part of our past—even the parts we would rather hide—can be essential to understanding who we are today. (31:03) – Where to connect with Tom: Tom shares how you can learn more about his work, his books, and the Opening Pathways Collective.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss New Jersey legend James Gandolfini! Our B-Sides include: The Mexican, Romance & Cigarettes, Cinema Verite, and The Drop. Our guest literally wrote the book on Gandolfini! Jason Bailey, author of Gandolfini Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend. He also co-hosts the podcast “Guide for the Film Fanatic” on the One Heat Minute Productions network. I was honored to chat about The Adventures of Robin Hood on the pod not too long ago! We discuss Gandolfini's early years as a character actor, his fun times on the set of the holiday debacle Surviving Christmas, and the chemistry of friendship that Gandolfini and Julia Roberts build in the underrated The Mexican.  Jason dishes on the process of writing his great book, we all lament the next act of great Gandolfini performances we did not get, and I remember some iconic episodes from The Sopranos. We discuss his playful energy and singular legacy, and what could have been. There's also a chat about Jason's upcoming book YIPPEE KI-YAY "Die Hard,” Bruce Willis, and the Reinvention of the Action Movie.

What if some of your most meaningful creative work is still ahead of you? In this episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, Dionne Woods sits down with Amy Keever, a professional artist, mosaicist, and sculptor from Northwest Arkansas, for a conversation about creative confidence, reinvention, self-worth, faith, and continuing to become at every stage of life. For more than 26 years, Amy has built a creative life around curiosity, continual learning, and a willingness to push beyond traditional boundaries. Her work combines materials ranging from welded steel and stained glass to Italian smalti, filati, precious metals, paint, and collage—all rooted in her belief that art has the power to transform not only materials, but people. Amy shares how her creative journey began at a young age and how the confidence to simply try led her into new mediums and unexpected opportunities. We talk about her first mosaic project, inspired by a European church; her memorable Maverick project; her exploration of micro-mosaics; and an artist residency in Ireland that profoundly changed her. But this conversation goes much deeper than technique. Amy and Dionne talk honestly about pricing your artwork, separating your price from your self-worth, creative confidence, hope, resilience, and the courage required to begin again. One word captures much of Amy's philosophy: Conduit. She has the word tattooed on her arm as a reminder to remain open—to creativity, faith, encouragement, connection, and whatever may be trying to move through her into the world. In this episode: Building creative confidence Pricing your art without attaching the price to your worth Stained glass, mosaics, micro-mosaics, sculpture, and collage Amy's transformative artist residency in Ireland Faith, creativity, and recognizing the "God things" Following curiosity instead of needing all the answers Pushing beyond your creative comfort zone Encouraging others and helping people feel seen Reinvention and beginning again Using creativity to bring hope and connection Why some of our most meaningful work may still be ahead of us At 55, Amy is especially interested in the idea that our lives can continue to expand as we grow older. Through Journey of a Wildflower, she explores creativity, nourishment, reinvention, and the courage to keep imagining what might still be possible. Amy's work has been featured in Where Women Create, The Turquoise Iris Journal, Where Women Create's The Art of Studio book, and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. She has exhibited and received recognition nationally, with upcoming 2027 shows including Art Expo New York, Art Expo Santa Fe, and Spectrum Chicago, along with micro-mosaic teaching dates. If you're an artist, creative entrepreneur, or someone navigating a new season, this episode is a beautiful reminder: Becoming is not something we finish. Stay curious. Keep creating. Keep imagining what else might be possible. Connect with Amy Keever Amy Keever's website Instagram — Amy Keever Gallery Facebook — Amy Keever YouTube — Amy Keever Gallery

We love a comeback story. The recovery after the diagnosis. The victory after the struggle. The inspiring lesson wrapped up with a pretty bow and, preferably, some flattering lighting. But what about when you're still in it? Allison Sweet Grant was barely 40, a mother of three, and just beginning her literary career when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her memoir, Lump: A Memoir in Ineloquent Reflections, tells the truth about breast cancer treatment and recovery without cleaning it up for public consumption. There's fear and hope. Gratitude and anger. Humor and grief.  In this episode, Allison and Nicole talk about the messy emotional reality of a breast cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy and cancer recovery, including the pressure to stay positive, the complicated role of caregivers, and why gratitude doesn't cancel out grief. We explore: Why gratitude, grief, fear, anger, humor, and hope can all exist at once The pressure cancer patients can feel to stay positive or find the “silver lining” How cancer affects spouses, children, caregivers, and the entire family Why humor and sarcasm can be powerful coping mechanisms during difficult experiences How the need to be liked or seen as a “good patient” can keep women from asking important questions Why bringing an advocate to medical appointments can make a difference How fear influences major healthcare decisions — and why Allison wishes she had paused more The ongoing fear of cancer recurrence and what it means to live in the complicated space between patient and survivor Because the truth doesn't need to be positive, polished, perfect, or profound to be worth telling.

Sarah Hadden sits down with Cindy Hennessy for a candid, funny, and deeply human conversation about career loss, reinvention, and what can happen when the next chapter of your life isn't the one you planned. Cindy talks openly about being laid off late in her career—and refusing to let her employer call it “retirement”—and the long “hallway” between that ending and the unexpected opportunity that eventually brought her full circle to mission-driven work at Make-A-Wish. Along the way, Sarah and Cindy talk about resilience, the luxury and importance of waiting for work that aligns with your values, the surprising gifts that can come from rejection, and the power of writing to help us make sense of difficult experiences. There's also an emotional-support Pomeranian, a lifelong love affair with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, and a reminder that sometimes joy, hope, and a willingness to laugh at yourself are pretty good tools for navigating whatever comes next. Takeaways: Losing a job can be deeply personal—especially when work has been an important part of your identity—and there's no reason to sanitize the experience or pretend it didn't hurt. Cindy describes the uncertain period after a major life disruption as “the hallway”: one door has closed, the next hasn't opened yet, and sometimes the only way forward is simply to live through the space in between. A late-career transition can also create an opportunity to get much more intentional about what you want—including the freedom to say no to work that doesn't align with your values. Cindy's path back to Make-A-Wish, where she had worked 25 years earlier, wasn't something she carefully engineered. In fact, she initially wasn't sure she wanted the job—a good reminder to stay open to possibilities that don't look quite right at first. Mission matters. After years of interesting but sometimes less personally aligned work, Cindy talks about the joy of using her experience to serve an organization whose purpose she deeply believes in. Writing has been one of Cindy's lifelong tools for processing difficult experiences. She shares her experience with the 100-Day Reckoning, a structured writing practice that helped her step outside a painful situation and find greater perspective, kindness, and understanding. Reinvention doesn't necessarily mean chasing another bigger title. Cindy is deliberately thinking about how to do meaningful work while also making more room for travel, friends, family, writing, Mahjong—and eventually a life that isn't organized around a W-2. And finally: Never give up on the Wienermobile. Cindy certainly hasn't.

What happens when the life you built suddenly changes direction?On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with entrepreneur and Podcast Connections co-founder Noémi Beres for a conversation about grief, resilience, entrepreneurship, reinvention and learning how to embrace the season you're in.Noémi shares the lasting lessons she carries from her father, who continued planning for the future and showing up for his family while living with cancer. She also opens up about losing her father and grandmother within a short period of time, followed by another major loss when the successful travel business she had built since 2007 came to an abrupt end during the pandemic.Instead of giving up on entrepreneurship, Noémi started again. We talk about what that season taught her about resilience, raising her son while navigating online schooling, building a new business from scratch and discovering that sometimes the detours we never planned can reveal strengths we didn't know we had.We also get into the podcasting industry and have a candid conversation about what many hosts and guests overlook. Noémi explains why successful podcasting requires consistency, preparation and genuine relationship building, and why podcast guesting should be viewed as more than a one-time opportunity to promote yourself.For Noémi, podcasting is ultimately about connection. She calls podcast guesting one of today's most powerful networking tools and encourages guests to continue building relationships with hosts after the recording ends rather than simply moving on to the next interview.And when I ask Noémi what finding her groove means after everything she's experienced, her answer brings the entire conversation together: discovering who she is throughout the journey, accepting that life will continue to change, doing the inner work and remembering to enjoy the life happening right now.Connect with Noémi Beres: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noemiberes/

Travis Chappell joins DeAndre Woodson on the Double Down podcast for a conversation about reinventing yourself, taking calculated risks, and staying consistent long enough to see your efforts compound. Travis shares how he went from door-to-door sales to podcasting, navigated failed businesses and major pivots, and eventually decided to go all-in on podcast sponsorships. He also explains how he decides when it's time to move on from something, why freedom and autonomy are worth more to him than maximizing income, and how nearly a decade of consistency has made podcasting the most successful thing he's ever done. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis took a massive pay cut to leave door-to-door sales and pursue podcasting How failed businesses, COVID, and changing circumstances forced Travis to reinvent himself The decision to go all-in on podcast sponsorships instead of starting another business Why Travis uses the “deathbed frame” when making major life and business decisions How to recognize when it's time to reinvent yourself versus simply pushing through a difficult season The danger of the sunk-cost fallacy and staying committed to something simply because you've invested years into it Why Travis values freedom and autonomy more than maximizing his income How connection became the central theme behind Build Your Network, Travis Makes Friends, and Dinner Party Why building meaningful relationships can have a greater impact on happiness than material success The role relentless action and consistency played in Travis's nearly decade-long podcasting journey Why people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year but underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade How small wins compound when you stick with something long enough Why Travis believes podcasting remains an under-saturated opportunity despite what people say How being willing to play the long game can give you an advantage over competitors who quit Why Travis is willing to spend years building something even if it doesn't become successful immediately Top 3 Takeaways 1. Know when to pivot—and know when to persevere.Reinvention isn't about quitting every time something gets difficult. Travis looks at whether he's experiencing temporary pain from an obstacle or whether he's facing a fundamental problem that continued effort isn't solving. 2. Consistency compounds.Travis has started and shut down numerous businesses, but podcasting is the one thing he has consistently done for nearly a decade. That consistency has ultimately made it his most successful endeavor. 3. Define success beyond money.Travis could potentially make more money by returning to sales, but he values freedom, autonomy, family time, and meaningful relationships more than maximizing his income. The right opportunity isn't always the one that pays the most. Notable Quotes “It's just relentless action against a desired result, even in the face of obstacles.” “People tend to overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in a decade.” “The only thing I've ever done consistently for a decade is the podcast, and it is, ironically, the most successful thing I've done.” “I'm okay with the trade-off of giving up money in exchange for a high volume of freedom and autonomy.” “Only good things can come from that, you know what I mean? Even if it's not directly monetizable.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming?In Part One of the ICON Series, Allison Walsh explores the powerful process of reinvention and what it means to intentionally create your next chapter.

What happens when something completely outside the life you've built starts pulling at your attention? Is it just a passing curiosity—or could it be the beginning of your next calling?David Dachinger's career has taken some remarkable turns. He began in the music world, eventually composing for major television sports and earning a Grammy nomination. Then, after moving next door to a firehouse and simply accepting an invitation to attend a drill, he discovered an entirely different kind of purpose. He became a career firefighter and lieutenant, and later moved into work supporting the mental health and resilience of first responders.David's story is about what can happen when we “go through the open door.” We talk about recognizing opportunities we didn't plan for, how experiences from one chapter can quietly plant seeds for the next, and why the things that matter most may require us to tolerate a period of uncertainty and discomfort.If you're curious about a direction that doesn't quite fit the professional identity you've already built, this conversation offers a useful way to think about whether that curiosity deserves a closer look.About Second CallingSecond Calling is a podcast for professionals figuring out their next chapter. Host Bradley Wright, a sociologist who studies purpose and change, talks with people who have navigated meaningful professional transitions and with experts who help us understand what those moments require.Learn More About David DachingerHelping the Helpers Book: https://a.co/d/04SSmMFdWebsite: https://www.respondertv.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ResponderResilienceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/responderTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/responder.tv/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/82141685/Connect with Bradley:Newsletter: bradleywrightphd.com/essays Website: bradleywrightphd.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bradleywrightphd/

Teatime Guest: Wendy Jensen September 15th, 2026 | 3 PM ESTFounder of Scandinavian Hearts • E-Commerce Expert • Best-Selling Children's FROM CORPORATE SUCCESS TO SCANDINAVIAN HEARTS Motherhood • Heritage • Reinvention • Building a Business That Connects Generations. On September 15th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Wendy Jensen of Scandinavian Hearts⁠ for a conversation about what happens when success no longer feels like enough—and purpose begins calling you somewhere new. Wendy brings more than 20 years of e-commerce experience, but one of the biggest transformations of her life didn't begin in a boardroom. It began with motherhood. Becoming a mom made Wendy look at the life and career she had built differently. She began questioning whether her accomplishments reflected the person she was becoming. That questioning eventually took her away from a high-level corporate executive career and toward something deeply connected to her identity and heritage: Scandinavian Hearts. Today, her work brings together culture, family, storytelling, entrepreneurship and belonging, creating ways for generations to connect with Scandinavian heritage. Her journey also opened another door—children's literature. Wendy became a best-selling children's author, with four books and counting, creating stories that celebrate identity, culture and belonging. This Teatime isn't simply about leaving corporate life to start a business. It's about asking: Can reinvention actually bring us closer to who we've always been? Welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz, where every guest brings their own story, experiences and lessons to the table. Sometimes transformation begins because something goes wrong. But sometimes transformation begins because something goes beautifully right—and suddenly changes how we see everything else. For my guest Wendy Jensen, that moment was becoming a mother. Wendy had spent more than two decades developing expertise in e-commerce and building a successful corporate career. But motherhood opened a different conversation within her. Who am I becoming? What do I want my children to know about where they come from? And does the life I've built still represent the life I want to live? Those questions eventually gave birth to Scandinavian Hearts, a business rooted in Wendy's heritage and built around something much larger than products: Connection. Connection between generations.Connection to culture.Connection to family stories.And connection to ourselves. She has also carried that mission into children's literature, becoming a best-selling children's author who wants young readers to see identity, heritage and belonging celebrated through stories. Today we're talking about motherhood, entrepreneurship, cultural roots, reinvention and what happens when professional expertise meets personal purpose. Wendy's story reminds us that reinvention doesn't necessarily mean throwing away everything we've already built. Sometimes we carry it forward differently. Twenty years of professional knowledge didn't disappear when Wendy changed direction. It became a tool. Her heritage became a foundation. Motherhood became a catalyst. Storytelling became another bridge. And Scandinavian Hearts became a way of bringing those pieces together. That is something important for anyone sitting at a crossroads. You don't necessarily have to know exactly where you're going before you begin questioning where you are. Sometimes the first step toward a different life is simply being willing to ask: Does the life I've built still reflect who I'm becoming? Wendy Jensen, thank you for bringing your experience, your Scandinavian heritage, your entrepreneurial journey and your heart to my table. Reinvention doesn't erase where you've been. Sometimes it gathers every piece of your journey and finally gives it a place to belong.” — Miss Liz #TeatimeWithMissLiz #ScandinavianHearts #WomenInBusiness #CulturalHeritage #PurposeDrivenBusiness

What if midlife isn't a crisis at all—but an invitation to become more fully who you are?In this inspiring episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes holistic health and wellness coach Erin Dougherty for a powerful conversation about reinvention, menopause, the mind-body connection, energy healing, and learning to trust yourself through life's transitions.Erin shares her own winding journey from an 18-year career as an English teacher to clinical research and eventually holistic health coaching. After experiencing severe burnout during the pandemic, Erin made the courageous decision to leave teaching at age 47 without knowing exactly what would come next.That leap became the beginning of a new chapter.Erin reminds us that when we reinvent ourselves in midlife, we are not starting from zero. We carry our lived experiences, education, wisdom, challenges, relationships, successes, and failures with us. Every experience can become “fodder for your next move.”Dana and Erin explore why women in perimenopause and menopause often need more than another one-size-fits-all wellness plan. Hormonal changes may collide with chronic stress, changing bodies, aging parents, children leaving—or remaining—in the home, career transitions, relationship changes, and years of putting everyone else first.Erin's whole-person approach begins by asking deeper questions: What is happening in your life? What do you value? What do you truly want to change? And perhaps most importantly—why does that change matter to you?Rather than focusing only on numbers such as weight on the scale, Erin helps women connect their health goals to the life they actually want to live.The Mind-Body Connection in MidlifeThis conversation also explores two of Erin's therapeutic tools: Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping).Erin shares how grief originally led her to Reiki after the sudden loss of her best friend. After experiencing a profound shift in grief she had carried for years, she became a Reiki practitioner and eventually a Reiki Master.She also explains EFT tapping, a technique that combines tapping specific points on the body with intentional language and thought patterns. Erin uses EFT to help clients explore emotional blocks, repetitive thought patterns, stress, setbacks, and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck.During perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal fluctuations may coincide with anxiety, overwhelm, disrupted sleep, changing emotions, body changes, and increased stress, reconnecting with the body can become an important part of wellness.Wordds of Wisdom“Wherever you go, there you are.”Erin encourages women to stop trying to escape themselves through the next house, job, relationship, goal, or version of the future.

What if the biggest threat to your retail business isn't Amazon — it's an empty product listing? In this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Bryan Weisberg, founder of 1000 Oak Barrel Co. and founder/CEO of Merchwise AI, author of The Future of Main Street. Bryan built 1000 Oak Barrel Co. from a chance meeting with a father-and-son barrel maker in rural Mexico into a true omni-channel manufacturer, distributor, and OEM supplier — making close to 2 million barrels in 26 years for retailers from wine enthusiasts to Williams Sonoma. Four years ago, a family emergency (his wife's friend's gift shop closing) pulled him into brick-and-mortar retail, and he realized every part of the business, aside from the POS system, was still manual. That gap became Merchwise AI. Trent and Bryan dig into why e-commerce is still only 16% of retail sales despite decades of predictions, the ROPO effect (research online, purchase offline), and how AI can give independent retailers the same advantages as the big players — without retailers needing to run a full e-commerce operation themselves. This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face adversity. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, grow, and keep finding a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: How Bryan built 1000 Oak Barrel Co. into a vertically integrated, omni-channel manufacturer Why brick-and-mortar retail still drives 84% of sales despite the e-commerce boom The ROPO effect and why "invisible losses" are the biggest hidden cost in retail Temporal commerce vs. agentic commerce — and why timing beats price How Merchwise AI automates product listings, merchandising, and social video for retailers Key Takeaways ✨ Retail's biggest cost isn't rent — it's onboarding new product Getting a product properly listed online (title, description, images, metadata) takes hours most retailers don't have. Merchwise AI does it in 20–30 seconds. ✨ You never see your losses, only your wins If a customer searches for your product online and can't find it, they buy elsewhere — and you never know that sale existed. ✨ Temporal commerce beats agentic commerce for meaningful purchases Agentic (automated) commerce works for commodities like toilet paper. But gifts, meaningful purchases, and one-off decisions need context and timing, not just automation. ✨ Change happens one component at a time Like building a winning team, retail transformation isn't instant. Bryan tells retailers to optimize one small piece of the business, then expand from there.

Reinvention at 50+: Who Nourishes the Woman You're Becoming?As we grow and reinvent ourselves, our relationships can change too.Sometimes they deepen. Sometimes they find a new rhythm. And sometimes we begin to recognize that a relationship that once felt completely natural no longer nourishes us in quite the same way.In this solo episode, Wendy explores what it means to pay attention to the people who make room for the woman you're becoming. Not just the people who have known you the longest, but the ones who help you feel seen, energized, encouraged, and more fully yourself.Because reinvention after 50 doesn't happen in a vacuum. As we become more aware of who we are and what we need, we may also begin to notice where we've been editing ourselves, making ourselves smaller, or holding back the tender new dreams we are only beginning to name.That's where discernment comes in.In this episode, you'll discover:

Identity. Purpose. Men's mental health. Career burnout. Self-worth. Entrepreneurship. Faith. Reinvention.After a two-week break, PSA: The Mental Health Podcast is back with a conversation for anyone who has ever looked at their career, accomplishments, responsibilities, or job title and quietly wondered: Who am I without all of this?In this newest episode of Season 10, Izzy Baker sits down with Dr. Brian E. Arnold, an educator, entrepreneur, and business owner whose work focuses on helping people discover their gifts, purpose, and potential, for a powerful conversation about identity, purpose, success, anxiety, faith, self-worth, and the dangerous habit of allowing what you do for a living to become who you are. Men are often taught to define themselves by being providers, husbands, fathers, leaders, entrepreneurs, or professionals—but what happens when the title disappears? Can you explain who you are without mentioning your job?Dr. Arnold shares a story that makes that question even deeper. As a child, he was placed in special education, struggled to read, and was told he wasn't going to amount to much. After years of battling labels and educational barriers, he eventually became a teacher, earned a master's degree and doctorate, built businesses, and dedicated his life to helping other people discover who they were meant to become.The conversation also gets real about money and entrepreneurship. Dr. Arnold opens up about raising eight children on a teacher's salary, working side hustles, leaving education for entrepreneurship, building financial success—and then watching the 2008 financial crisis wipe away houses, cars, and much of what he had built. That loss ultimately changed his definition of success from simply making money to building a life centered around identity, faith, health, service, and helping other people succeed.Izzy and Dr. Arnold also unpack anxiety, overthinking, confidence, resilience, discipline, and the importance of keeping promises to yourself. Dr. Arnold explains why perseverance, self-worth, service, and resilience can make someone valuable regardless of what happens to their career—and why too many people spend their lives simply existing instead of discovering what they are actually great at.The episode becomes especially personal when the conversation turns to job loss and mental health. Izzy reflects on losing his own identity as an educator after more than six years in education and raises the possibility that sometimes losing a title isn't simply a setback—it can force you to discover who you were underneath the title all along. For men whose identity is heavily connected to providing, income, status, and career success, losing a job can feel like losing part of themselves.This conversation also serves as a natural continuation of the quarter-life crisis and reinvention conversations Season 10 has been exploring. Sometimes what looks like starting over is actually discovering that you built your identity around something that was never supposed to define you permanently. Your profession can change. Your money can change. Your relationships can change. Your status can change. None of those things should have the power to erase your sense of self.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Retirement left Paula Panariello with a question she hadn't spent much time asking before: What would I actually like to do? An avid historical-romance reader, Paula decided to try writing one herself. Her first manuscript needed plenty of help, but the story was good — and seven novels later, Paula now comfortably calls herself an author. In our conversation, we talk about: finding something meaningful to retire to, not simply something to retire from becoming a beginner later in life getting past the Who am I kidding? feeling what can happen when someone else sees possibilities in us before we do learning the technology and craft required to pursue something new how decades of life experience can feed creativity staying curious and continuing to learn maintaining activity and social connection after retirement preserving family stories while the people who remember them are still here hearing criticism without letting one negative opinion outweigh everything else Paula's experience is a reminder that sometimes an entirely new chapter begins simply because something interests us enough to try it.

What if midlife isn't the beginning of the decline, but the beginning of something entirely new? We've been sold a pretty outdated life plan: learn, work, climb, achieve, retire. Preferably while raising children, maintaining friendships, exercising, drinking enough water, keeping our relationships interesting, remembering everyone's birthdays, and figuring out what the fuck is happening to our hormones. Yeah. That plan could use an update. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil talks with Lynda Gratton, one of the world's leading experts on the future of work, professor of management practice at London Business School, and author of Living the Hundred Year Life: How to Build a Career That Lasts and a Life You Love. They explore: Why the traditional learn-work-retire model no longer fits a 100-year life How longer lifespans are changing careers, retirement, and the future of work Why women have been living multi-stage careers long before workplaces caught up The eight “threads” that help create a fulfilling, sustainable life and career Why relationships, friendship, adventure, and calm are essential to avoiding burnout Why calm may be one of the most neglected resources in women's lives How to create more calm without pretending we suddenly have hours of free time The difference between the future self you hope for, expect, and fear Why adventure doesn't require blowing up your life or booking a trip around the world Why you might want to take a little piece of retirement now instead of saving all of it for someday So if you're asking, “What's next for me?” maybe you don't need the entire answer yet. Maybe you get to keep weaving, experimenting, and choosing as you go. Thank you to our sponsors! Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!French Antiques Experience - Chateau de Brives: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/antique-experience-franceCognac Jewellery School Foundations 2027: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/cjs-foundation-2027Cognac Jewellery School Collections Week 2027: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/cognac-jewellery-school-collections-2027In this episode, Wendy sits down with author and educator Thymai Dong-Sheehan to talk about identity, belonging, and the courage to tell your own story. Born in Vietnam and raised in the United States, Thymai grew up navigating two cultures while never feeling fully claimed by either. Years later, stepping away from her career to care for family left her grieving the loss of her worker identity, but it also gave her the space to pursue two dreams she had been saving for retirement: publishing The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life and starting her own business. What emerged was an honest examination of the stories told about her, the parts of herself she had learned to minimize, and what it meant to finally decide that her experiences were valid and worth sharing.They explore: How Thymai moved from feeling caught between Vietnamese and American identities to embracing the full complexity of who she is  Why releasing the need to prove she belonged required vulnerability, spirituality, community, and self-forgiveness  How losing confidence after leaving her career led Thymai back to the inner work behind her larger vision for educational change This is a conversation about claiming the right to tell your own story, allowing every part of your identity to belong, and trusting what can emerge when an unexpected pause creates room for something new.Connect with Thymai:ThymaiDongSheehan.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tmaidongGet her book, The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life: Vulnerability, Equity, Spirituality: amazon.com/Beauties-So-Called-Asian-Life-Vulnerability/dp/B0F7GSKHVN?tag=syty-20Referenced in this Episode:A Course in Miracles Links: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/acim-remind/id737568020https://www.amazon.com/Course-Miracles-Combined-Quality/dp/1883360242?tag=syty-20marianne.com/acim/Creative in Residence at the Phineas Wright House: app.flodesk.com/form/6995f2e1ae676cb64b2c5b37________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

We are living in the Year of the Fire Horse. And if you know anything about Chinese astrology, you know that the Fire Horse is not a gentle, meandering kind of energy. It is fast, fierce, unpredictable, and transformative. It burns down what isn't working to make room for what's next. And that feels about right for where we are as a culture, as leaders, and as human beings right now. Today, I share the neurological impact significant change triggers in humans and give actionable steps to build resilience to withstand the change that is going to continue, and lead and live with more purpose and intentionality through whatever is thrown your way.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com and search by episode title.Listen in for…How systems are breaking, the world is changing, and people are struggling to keep up.Why reinvention is not a crisis; it's a choice.Three things you can do right now to build resilience for what is next.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the show where we explore how melody, rhythm, and sound become lifelines for those wrestling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I'm your host, James Cox, and today I'm thrilled to sit down with a guest whose story proves that losing the path you thought was your destiny can lead you to an unexpected—and profoundly creative—new one.Matt Hancock grew up in South Carolina with a guitar in his hands and a drum set in his dreams. After serving as a satellite‑communications operator in the U.S. Army, a tragic training accident in Afghanistan left his left hand partially paralyzed, snatching away his primary musical voice. Rather than surrender, Matt turned the injury into a catalyst: he taught himself drums, dove into looping, and eventually fell in love with synthesizers, modular rigs, and sound‑design.From those experiments emerged DECK O-LUXE—a synth‑wave project that blends cinematic storytelling with nostalgic '80s tones. His upcoming album Eventide (dropping August 28) isn't just another collection of tracks; it's the soundtrack of a man who lost one musical language only to discover an entirely new one. Alongside vocalist Kat Cute, Matt crafts lush, atmospheric pieces that echo his journey from darkness to a brighter, more joyful soundscape.In today's conversation we'll hear about:The raw reality of his nerve‑transfer surgery and the mental‑health battles that followed.How he repurposed his drumming instincts when guitar became impossible.The “spaghetti‑monster” world of his modular synth and his favorite gear (hello, OP‑6).The creative process behind Eventide and the emotional core of tracks like “In The Sky.”Light‑hearted lightning‑round bits—favorite synths, dream film rescoring (Blade Runner, anyone?), and the one sound that never gets old.Whether you're a musician searching for a new outlet, a veteran coping with life after service, or simply a lover of music that heals, Matt's story is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the undeniable power of sound. Stay tuned for a deep dive into the mind behind DecoLux, and remember: when words fail, music always speaks.

What does it mean to begin again—not once, but twice?Patricia Falvey's life reads like an extraordinary novel. Raised in poverty in Northern Ireland and England, she immigrated to the United States at age twenty with just $200 in her purse and little certainty about what the future would hold. Through determination, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to learning, she built an impressive career as one of the nation's leading C-level consultants.Many people would consider that a remarkable life's work.Patricia wasn't finished.In her sixties, she stepped away from corporate success to pursue an entirely new calling as an author of Irish historical fiction. Without a literary agent or formal writing education, she became an internationally bestselling novelist whose books have touched readers around the world.In this inspiring conversation, Patricia shares what it takes to reinvent yourself at any age, how adversity can become an unexpected gift, and why purpose, curiosity, and courage continue to shape a meaningful life well into our later years.Learn more at https://patriciafalveybooks.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

"I really thought I'd healed my relationship to food but and then the breakup dragged me back into toxic numbing cycles I swore I was done with..but I was overwhelmed because I was also trying to grow my business." We unpack why the number one rule of any transition is refusing to judge yourself for relapsing into old coping patterns. We talk about the numbing, toxic coping mechanisms, the imposters, and how to navigate the messiness of it while being a busy business owner. This episode's framework is pulled from the leadership coaching tool by LUMAN, called ARO/IAO, a specialized cognitive framework utilized in ontological coaching and corporate leadership training. Put simply, ARO/IAO in life helps you reset in 3 steps through:Awareness: Accepting and Integrating FearOwnership & Identity: Creating Who You Want to BecomeAction: Turning Vision Into RealityChapters0:00 Intro: Facing a turning point1:29 The breakup & falling into old patterns3:29 The epiphany: naming fear7:10 Leaning on community8:09 Step-by-step & trusting yourself11:56 Closing & sign-off Connect with me:IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereboundariesdissolvepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@helena.arjuna?_t=8oSbtTilPSQ&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenasuter/ Support the show

You got what you wanted. Now what?It seems like we spend so much of our lives moving toward what's next, always looking ahead to where we're going and what we're supposed to accomplish along the way. We work toward the goal, reach the milestone, check the box, and then one day, sometimes, we actually get there.And what happens then?For Michael Yang, that question opened the door to a whole new chapter.He came to America from South Korea as a teenager, built a successful technology company in Silicon Valley and achieved what many would call the American Dream.But somewhere along the way, Michael began wondering what else life might have in store. In his sixties, he got on a motorcycle and started riding. The farther he went, the more he discovered. About the world, certainly, but also about himself.His memoir, Coming Alive on the Ride, is the story of that journey and of a man who decided that getting older didn't mean his most interesting days were behind him.I loved talking with Michael because there is no rush to his thinking. He has a way of looking at life that makes you want to slow down and consider your own.Michael's story reminded me that there may never be a point when we've truly arrived. There is always another road and another part of ourselves waiting to be discovered.“The most important journey is the one that keeps us curious about what comes next.”Tune in and enjoy the ride.

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of willpower — it's what's actually going into your body? On this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Pat Miletich — the first UFC Welterweight Champion, a coach behind 12 MMA world champions, a trainer to military and special forces for over 15 years, and founder of Cell Saviors and Soil Saviors. Pat grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa unable to breathe through wrestling matches and football games, with no doctor able to explain why. He went and found the answer himself — a search that carried him from kickboxing into the UFC, and eventually into 40 years of research on soil health, nutrient depletion, and cellular repair. In this episode, we discuss: How undiagnosed respiratory illness shaped Pat's path from wrestling to kickboxing to the UFC The 10-day protocol that took him from struggling through 3 rounds with a world-champion boxer to sparring a full 10 Why "genetic expression" works the same way in a plant and in a person What depleted, chemically farmed soil is doing to our food, water, and immune systems Why real change starts with fixing yourself before you can lead or help anyone else Connect with Pat Miletich: Website: https://www.soilsaviors.org    Connect with Trent M.

Quarter-life crisis. Reinvention. Purpose. Fear of failure. Entrepreneurship. Mental health. Personal growth.What happens when you realize the life you're living isn't the life you were meant to live? In Season 10, Episode 10 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker sits down with entrepreneur, author, entertainment executive, and MooTV founder Scott Scovill for a powerful conversation about reinvention, purpose, tenacity, and why so many people spend years avoiding the very life they were called to pursue. Together, they explore the fear of failure, self-doubt, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and the mental barriers that stop people from becoming who they were created to be.The conversation begins with a discussion about the growing quarter-life crisis many young adults are facing today. More people than ever are questioning their purpose, career path, relationships, identity, and future. Izzy explores why so many people dream about moving away and starting over while Scott explains that true reinvention is often less about changing locations and more about changing mindset.Scott shares his incredible journey from nearly failing out of school to becoming one of the most respected figures in the live entertainment industry. After struggling with an intense fear of failure and rejection, a chance encounter with members of the band U2 completely changed the trajectory of his life. That moment led him to pursue a dream that eventually placed him on world tours, helped him build multiple successful companies, and taught him lessons about perseverance, risk-taking, and resilience that continue guiding him today.Throughout the episode, Scott explains why tenacity may be the single most important trait for long-term success. The discussion explores fear, rejection, confidence, discipline, and why many people spend years waiting until they feel ready before taking action. According to Scott, the people who ultimately succeed are not necessarily the most talented—they are often the people willing to keep showing up after disappointment, failure, and setbacks.Izzy and Scott also discuss entrepreneurship, following your dreams, reinventing yourself, overcoming limiting beliefs, and why many men struggle to pursue their purpose. The conversation dives into self-worth, identity, fear of judgment, and the reality that growth often requires leaving behind environments, habits, and relationships that no longer align with the person you're becoming.This episode is for the person who feels stuck, fears failure, wants to start over, questions their purpose, or knows they were created for more but hasn't yet taken the first step.Because sometimes the life you're praying for... is waiting on the other side of the risk you're avoiding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Quarter-life crisis. Feeling behind. Comparison. Social media. Purpose. Faith. Mental health. Career pressure. Relationships. Reinvention. The Quarter Life Crisis is officially back. After first exploring the uncertainty of your late 20s in 2022, Izzy Baker brings the series back four years later for Quarter Life Crisis 2, the midseason series of Season 10 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast. And this time, the questions are different because life is different. The youngest millennials are now entering their 30s, and suddenly the pressure isn't just about figuring life out. It's wondering whether you should have figured it out already. For Track 1, Izzy sits down with Christopher Beauvil, better known as Coach Beau and New York's Finest, for a brutally relatable conversation built around one message: you are not behind. Coach Beau currently works as a life coach and mentor with Boys II Men, a nonprofit organization in Indianapolis focused on helping young boys develop accountability, life skills, mentorship, and the tools they need as they grow into men. With a background that also includes criminal justice, military service, motivational speaking, and mentoring, Beau brings the perspective of a 38-year-old man who openly admits that life did not unfold exactly how his 25-year-old self imagined it would. Izzy gets personal about that feeling too. At 32, he thought he'd be further ahead. He thought YouTube would be generating major income. He thought marriage would have happened. He thought entrepreneurship would mean never considering another job again. Instead, after three years away from traditional employment, he recently returned to education as a part-time teacher while continuing to build his businesses. What initially felt like it might represent going backward began to look more like an arrow being pulled backward before being launched forward. That opens the door to a much bigger conversation about the timelines we create for ourselves. By 25, you thought you'd have the career. By 30, you thought you'd be married. By 32, you thought you'd have the house, kids, money, business, body, peace, and purpose. Then you open social media and somebody your age appears to have everything you thought you were supposed to have—and suddenly a life you were grateful for five minutes ago doesn't feel like enough. Coach Beau challenges that mindset by admitting that some of his own delays weren't simply bad luck. Looking back, he believes ignoring discernment, avoiding therapy, failing to understand his triggers, and making certain choices created unnecessary detours. He makes an important distinction between the detours life gives you and the ones you create yourself. Sometimes the relationship you knew wasn't right, the money you knew you shouldn't spend, the unhealthy job you refused to leave, or the direction you knew God was telling you not to take can cost you years. Accountability means being mature enough to admit when the setback wasn't somebody else's fault. The conversation gets even deeper when Beau argues that social media has given us access to lives we were never supposed to constantly see. Within seconds, your phone can take you from celebrating somebody's newborn baby, to sexual content, to tragedy, to somebody else's engagement, vacation, new house, body transformation, or career announcement. Then we wonder why our emotions are exhausted and why everybody else's progress suddenly feels like evidence that we're failing. Beau also opens up about stepping away from motivational speaking and much of his public life to work on himself. After recognizing that he was operating from an anxious place, he underwent deep therapy to help reset his nervous system, withdrew from people and environments that weren't helping him heal, and confronted areas where his public image didn't always match what was happening privately. His message is simple: eventually, you have to stop performing and have an honest conversation with yourself. This first track of Quarter Life Crisis 2 is for the person watching friends get married while you're still single, watching somebody buy a house while you're rebuilding financially, seeing somebody else's career take off while yours feels stagnant, wondering whether changing directions means you failed, or secretly asking God why everybody else's life seems to be happening faster than yours. Maybe you're not late. Maybe you're not failing. Maybe the detour isn't the destination. And maybe being somewhere different than where your 25-year-old self imagined doesn't mean you're behind. You're not behind. You're still becoming. Listen. Reflect. And ask yourself: Are you actually behind in life—or have you been measuring your life against somebody else's timeline?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Kelsey Kitsch was Canada's number one female entrepreneur two years in a row. She was on the cover of magazines, speaking at global economic forums, and building multimillion-dollar companies. She was also sitting on the floor of her locked office, in the darkest period of her life, wondering why none of it felt like anything. In Part 1 of this conversation, she and Dwayne explore what happens when the life you built no longer fits — and what it takes to build a new one from the inside out.In this episode:The three-factor brain state that produces your best ideas — novelty, motion, and high emotion — drawn from Mary Helen Imordino-Yang's research, and why Kelsey's most creative moments happen driving fast with the windows down in a place she doesn't knowWhy most people set goals wrong: Kelsey's case for short-term weekly goals anchored to a long-term direction, and why the deeper question isn't "what do I want to achieve?" but "who do I want to be when I get there?"Kelsey's experience with guided psychedelic therapy — the four-hour ego vs. soul battle she audio-taped during her first journey, and what it felt like to experience sufficiency for the first time: just being, without striving or driving or winningWhy woo-woo is a category problem, not an evidence problem — and how Kelsey frames breathwork and psychedelics the same way: repeatable patterns that produce consistent results, regardless of whether the mechanism is fully explained yetThe Othership breathwork app and Dr. Joe Dispenza's Marco Island program as non-invasive entry points for anyone curious about expanded states but not ready for psychedelicsThe single most important insight Kelsey has learned about love and being human: we can only feel loved in proportion to how much we're seen, and we can only be seen in proportion to how much we show of ourselves.Content Warning: This episode discusses psychedelics from personal experience.

She shares actionable strategies, from reframing "simple" as never meaning "easy," to using the language you tell yourself to change how a hard day actually feels, and explains why she believes real balance (not extreme restriction) is what makes results actually stick.Topics DiscussedSimple vs. Easy.The One-Take Wonder: What it took to film a fitness program live for 13 weeks straight with zero retakes.The Algorithm She Hates: Why building trust online got exhausting the moment attention became a strategy.2,200 Pounds of Cans: The unglamorous reality of running a CPG brand solo, no assistant, no crew.Discipline vs. Consistency: Why the two aren't the same thing, and how one quietly builds the other.Keep Your Blinders On: Staying focused on your own lane while a dozen competitors launch faster.Real Pizza, Real Balance: Why she refuses to trade actual food for extreme restriction.Your Words Are Your Vibration: How the language you use about your day shapes the energy you put out.Connect with Autumn on InstagramConnect with Good Mood Brew on InstagramConnect with Sebastian on InstagramSebastianNaum.com

Alex Buckner didn't fall in love with coaching, he fell in love with winning. In this episode, the tour coach behind Marco Penge's breakout three win 2025 season opens up about reverse engineering an entire career: from a failed playing career and three jobs just to fund tournament entries, to becoming an "OG" Skillest power user documenting thousands of in person lessons, to reinventing himself again and again, short game specialist, long game coach, and now full service performance manager for elite players.Alex breaks down exactly how he turned Marco Penge from a player who "twatted" every driver into the tour's most accurate off the tee, why he coaches almost exclusively on the golf course instead of the range, and the real story behind Marco's equipment switch to Mizuno on the PGA Tour (including the sole design mistake nobody talks about). He also tackles the steep vs shallow short game debate head on, explains why "free swing analysis" is a waste of everyone's time, and shares the decision making framework he's used since his early 20s to bet on himself, going a full year on the DP World Tour before he even knew if he'd get paid.If you're a coach, an aspiring tour player, or just someone trying to figure out how much intention it takes to build the career you actually want, this one's packed with it.

Why This Episode MattersNicholas Harary explains why he chose to reinvent one of New Jersey's most acclaimed fine-dining restaurants before the business forced him to.A surprisingly technical look at what separates great ice cream from mediocre ice cream: butterfat, overrun, and the cold chain.Nicholas, Mark Pascal and Francis Schott debate whether traditional fine dining is dead or simply evolving.The conversation turns to Michelin: what its stars mean today, how the Guide's expansion model complicates perceptions of independence, and why restaurateurs should always focus on the customers in the room.BanterMark and Francis return from Sonoma with stories from Paul Hobbs' 35th anniversary, smoke drifting across wine country and conversations with winemakers about what actually causes smoke taint. They make it onto Martinelli's famously steep Jackass Hill where tasting zinfandel grapes directly from vines behind a wine he has loved for decades proves considerably more appealing than actually working a harvest.The ConversationNicholas Harary and his wife, Melissa, opened Restaurant Nicholas in 2000 and spent two decades building it into one of New Jersey's defining fine-dining restaurants. But Nicholas had already begun another chapter. What started in 2018 as a small seasonal ice cream shop where their kids might work became Nicholas Creamery. On opening weekend, police were directing traffic while Nicholas realized the 300 gallons of ice cream they had made weren't going to be enough.That leads to a deep dive into ice cream: why controlling temperature matters, why Nicholas had a freezer truck custom-built, how butterfat and overrun affect quality, and what happens when you melt different commercial ice creams side by side. Nicholas also explains the elaborate process behind flavors such as bourbon barrel-aged coffee chocolate chunk.Then the conversation moves from ice cream to reinvention. Even after Restaurant Nicholas had its best year, Nicholas could see diners changing. Rather than gradually dilute what the restaurant had been, he closed it and rebuilt the concept as the much more casual Nicholas Barrel & Roost. His philosophy is simple: if your business looks exactly the same five years from now, you may have a problem.Nicholas, Mark and Francis debate whether the version of fine dining they grew up with is gone and what has replaced it. They ask what gets lost when restaurants begin designing for the camera as much as the diner. Finally, they tackle the Michelin Guide from changing definitions of a Michelin-worthy restaurant to the financial arrangements used to bring Michelin into new markets before Nicholas offers his advice to younger chefs: concentrate on the people inside your restaurant, not the people outside talking about it.Guest BioNicholas Harary is the chef and restaurateur behind Nicholas Barrel & Roost, Nicholas Creamery and Nicholas Wines. He and his wife Melissa opened Restaurant Nicholas in 2000; during its 20-year run, the restaurant received an “extraordinary” from The New York Times Harary later transformed the space into the more casual Nicholas Barrel & Roost while expanding Nicholas Creamery across New Jersey.Timestamps00:00 Sonoma, smoke taint and Jackass Hill08:08 Nicholas Harary joins the Guys09:50 How Nicholas Creamery unexpectedly took off14:40 Why the cold chain matters for great ice cream17:00 Butterfat, overrun and what you're really paying for21:05 Jersey flavors and bourbon barrel-aged coffee ice cream23:30 Why Nicholas walked away from fine dining at its peak28:25 Is fine dining dying or just changing?34:45 What does a Michelin star mean now?42:15 Michelin, Sysco and the appearance of impartialityInfoNicholas Barrel and Roosthttps://www.barrelandroost.com/Nicholas Creameryhttps://www.nicholascreamery.com/Nicholas Wineshttps://www.nicholaswines.com/We're bringing our kitchen to the farm!Join us at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ for a Table-to-Farm Dinner.Sunday, September 13 @ 5:30https://www.stageleft.com/event/91326-table-to-farm-dinner/ Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

On this episode of Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris, Darrell welcomes Tim Quirk of Wonderlick whose creative partnership began during their years with the acclaimed alternative-rock band Too Much Joy. Tim discusses Wonderlick's evolution, their unconventional approach to songwriting and the experiences that shaped their new album, Wonderlick Loves You. Inspired by intimate acoustic house concerts, the album was recorded largely live in one room alongside musicians from Floyd, Virginia, capturing a raw and immediate energy far outside the band's usual comfort zone. The conversation explores decades of artistic reinvention, grief, humor and the freedom that comes from creating music without chasing trends. It's an honest and entertaining look inside a band that continues to take risk- tell meaningful stories and follow its in creative instincts.

Shownotes//What if the life you've built no longer fits the person you've become? In this episode, Chiara gets personal about closing a decade-long chapter, quitting the coaching industry, and choosing to completely reinvent her life as she approaches 40. She explores the fear of letting go, the uncomfortable limbo between identities, and how to follow the clues toward a new dream—even when you have no idea exactly where it will lead. This is a love letter to anyone standing at the edge of a pivot and wondering whether they're actually allowed to burn the ships and begin again.In this episode you'll learn:* Why the identity, success, relationships, money, and validation attached to your old life can make reinvention so difficult—even when you know you're ready for something new.* How to navigate the uncomfortable in-between when you know where you no longer belong but can't yet see exactly where you're going.* Why paying attention to the things that spark your curiosity, creativity, and excitement can reveal clues about your next chapter.* How creating space to dream—and getting clear on what you don't want—can help you begin imagining an entirely different life.* Why you don't need the entire path mapped out before you begin: sometimes the next step only reveals itself once you've put both feet into the first one.

In this episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Stacie Shifflett, founder of Modern Consciousness, to explore what it takes to move from anger and betrayal into clarity, intention, and joy. After her 28 year marriage imploded, Stacie refused to simply drift like a leaf bumping along the current. Instead she threw herself into over a decade of personal development, working with figures like Tony Robbins and Joe Dispenza, before surrendering to an idea she'd resisted for two years: building a company around everything she'd learned about the human condition.  Stacie shares the moment she realized she didn't want to become the woman she met in a grief support group, someone who hadn't left her house in five years after losing a child, and how that realization became a turning point in her own healing. She and Dr. Debi dig into the real difference between insight and rumination, why intuition sounds different from your inner critic, and why intentionality, not a single big leap, is what actually moves people forward.  Whether you're navigating divorce, betrayal, grief, or simply a season of disruption, this conversation offers a grounded, practical roadmap for reclaiming your peace of mind and choosing who you want to be next.  In This Episode:  Why Stacie describes her post-divorce self as 'a leaf going down the stream, bumping into rocks,' and the moment she decided to stop  How two years of resistance turned into the founding of Modern Consciousness  The real difference between insight and staying stuck in analysis  A story from a grief support group that reframed how Stacie thinks about staying stuck versus moving forward  Why 'sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest' became a phrase she coined for herself  The difference between the voice of intuition and the voice of the ego, and how to tell them apart  Why intentionality, not a single big decision, is what actually creates change  How the Four Agreements shaped her early healing, especially the practice of not making assumptions  Why she believes peace of mind is our greatest personal asset  The one question she keeps coming back to: do you want to stay where you are?  Resources Mentioned:  Treasure Map to Joy — Stacie Shifflett (book, a parable of one woman's journey from disruption to joy)  The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz  The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery — ThePBTInstitute.com  Connect with Stacie Shifflett:  Website: modernconsciousness.com  Connect with Dr. Debi  The PBT Institute: https://ThePBTInstitute.com

Send us Fan MailLisa Hanna, former Miss World, longtime Jamaican cabinet minister, and founder of Lisa Hanna Beauty, joins Skin Anarchy to talk about rejecting the language of correction, building a science led luxury line in Italy, and the activist mission behind her brand.Who is Lisa Hanna?An "accidental beauty queen" who won Miss World in 1993 at 18, then built a two decade political career as one of Jamaica's youngest female members of parliament and a cabinet minister before retiring last year to enter beauty. "I think leadership has an obligation to give other people an opportunity to present their ideas."Why did she move from politics into beauty?Because she rejected how the industry talks about age. As she aged in demanding field work, actives like retinol and vitamin C stopped suiting her skin. "If we're constantly told that the evidence of time is something to correct, eventually we see ourselves and believe that time has diminished us."What does aging intelligently mean?Working with skin rather than fighting it. Hanna reframes skin as an organ deserving support, not correction. "Remember your skin is at its best when it's supported... when you're working in harmony with it." She sees longevity as overused and prefers accumulating knowledge over reversing time.How are women in politics judged on their appearance?Constantly, and before they speak. Hanna recalls being heckled entering parliament, then facing formal motions over sleeveless outfits and a national debate over a swimsuit photo at 51. "There's an ageist component to the beauty," she says, noting the judgment arrived "way before you open your mouth.Why did she make her line in Italy?For innovation and EU standards. She wanted regulated formulas that push boundaries without breaking the skin barrier. "I wanted my products to be EU regulated and to pass EU standards," working with a lab using mastic resin to stimulate the skin's own collagen rather than forcing change from the top down.What is the science behind Lisa Hanna Beauty?A proprietary quantum RECP delivery system across every product. It pairs mastic resin, protected vitamin C that activates only on the skin, green grape extract for inflammation, and matrikine peptides. "Skin must recognize what it already knows," she says, which is why the formulas absorb rather than sit on top.Is Lisa Hanna Beauty only for certain skin tones?No, and she resisted pressure to position it that way. Advisors pushed her to build a brand for people of color; she refused. "I want to do skincare for all skin types." The formulas are clinically tested to work across skin tones, and she argues luxury was wrongly withheld from many women for too long.What is the fade bomb?The line's breakout hero product, a hydrating balm for hyperpigmentation that doubles as a healing product. Built after visiting bleaching factories worldwide, it avoids harsh correctives. "That fade bomb is amazing," used on scarring, bikini line, and underarms across every skin tone.Can luxury skincare be affordable?That was the point. Watching post COVID economic pressure on women, Hanna built a premium seven product line meant to feel special without breaking budgets. "Every woman deserves when they go home to feel luxury," with glass bottles worthy of a vanity and formulas that are clinically tested.What is the brand's activist mission?Five percent of everything funds support for women and children with neurodivergence, especially in Jamaica, where child mental health resources are scarce. Drawing on her own son's experience and her time as minister of youth, she calls it an activist beauty brand. "Skincare can transform skin, but it can also transform lives."Listen to the full episode with Lisa Hanna on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Lisa Hanna BeautyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
