Women Leaders Career Advancement: The 4-Relationship Framework and Personal Success Plan (2026) Executive Summary: Women leaders career advancement stalls most often at the relationship level, not the skill level. Women hold only 29% of C-suite roles despite representing nearly half the workforce. Former IBM VP Shelmina Babai Abji reveals the four strategic relationships that accelerate promotion and the Personal Success Plan that keeps you on track week after week. Quick Takeaways: Women leaders career advancement remains stalled at every pipeline level for the 11th consecutive year (McKinsey, 2025). The four relationships that accelerate promotion are: boss, peers, mentors, and sponsors — and all four must be intentionally built. Only 31% of entry-level women have a sponsor, vs. 45% of men — closing this gap is one of the highest-ROI actions you can take. Responding to bias with proof, not reaction, protects your power and changes minds more effectively than confrontation. A Personal Success Plan reviewed weekly keeps your business results, relationships, competencies, and leadership brand advancing together. Key 2025–2026 statistics on women leaders career advancement: the C-suite gap, the broken rung, and the sponsorship deficit. Women leaders career advancement has a number that should stop you: for every 100 men promoted to their first manager role, only 81 women make the same leap. That gap — what McKinsey researchers call the "broken rung" — has barely moved in years. And it is not primarily a skills gap. It is a visibility gap, a relationship gap, and a strategy gap. I'm Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC — executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast, ranked in the top 1.5% globally with over 950,000 downloads. In Part II of my interview with Shelmina Babai Abji — TEDx speaker, former IBM Vice President, and author of Show Your Worth — we go deep on the practical mechanics that drive women leaders career advancement forward. If you caught Part I, you already have Shelmina's Power Quotient framework for silencing self-doubt. This episode is what comes next: the external strategy. How do you intentionally build the four relationships that move careers forward? How do you handle a boss who doesn't see your value? How do you navigate workplace bias without giving your power away? And what is the weekly planning practice that keeps even the most overwhelmed leader — including single mothers carrying impossible loads — on a clear path to the C-suite? This is one of the most actionable episodes I have recorded in 19 years of podcasting. Let's get into it. Why Women Leaders Career Advancement Stalls: The Strategy Gap The McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2025 report — which surveyed approximately 10,000 employees across 124 organizations — found that women hold only 29% of C-suite roles, unchanged from 2024, and that women remain underrepresented at every level of the corporate pipeline for the eleventh consecutive year. Women of color face a steeper drop-off at every rung. The same research surfaces a critical sponsorship gap that most women don't know exists: only 31% of entry-level women have a sponsor, compared to 45% of men at the same level. Sponsorship — not mentorship — is the relationship that most reliably unlocks promotions, stretch assignments, and visibility with senior leaders. And women are starting from a 14-point deficit. Shelmina's response to this data is direct: "The reason the numbers are as bad as they are is we cannot wait for organizations to change, or for people to change. We have to be the change we want to see." That is not resignation to an unfair system. It is a strategic recognition that women leaders career advancement is not waiting for institutions to fix the pipeline — it is built deliberately, relationship by relationship, decision by decision, week by week. The Four Relationships That Accelerate Women Leaders Career Advancement Shelmina's book Show Your Worth dedicates an entire chapter to what she calls "intentional relationships" — the four categories of professional connection that, when built strategically, become the scaffolding of a senior career. She credits them with her own advancement from immigrant engineer to IBM Vice President. Relationship 1: Your Boss This is the most high-leverage relationship in your career, and the one most women invest in least strategically. "At the end of the day, you work for your boss, not an organization," Shelmina says. "It is up to you to build that relationship." The mechanism is not flattery or politics. It is a deliberate daily practice of contributing value that advances your boss's success — specifically, unique value that makes you essential. Shelmina describes this as "leaning into your authenticity and your uniqueness until you become essential to your boss's success." When you are essential to your boss's success, you are in a position of power to negotiate what you want — flexible boundaries, stretch assignments, sponsorship, promotion recommendations. Power in a workplace relationship is not seized; it is earned through indispensability. Practically, this means: Understanding your boss's most critical success metrics and aligning your work visibly to them Ensuring your boss has a "front-row seat" to your contributions — proactively, not passively Asking for help on stretch assignments (which demonstrates self-awareness, not weakness) Preparing thoroughly for performance reviews with documented, outcome-quantified contributions Relationship 2: Peers Peer relationships are the often-overlooked engine of influence. In 2026's increasingly matrixed organizations, influence flows horizontally as much as it flows vertically. Peers who trust you, advocate for you in rooms you're not in, and co-create solutions with you are a form of organizational capital that compounds over time. Shelmina notes that the same principle applies here as with the boss relationship: the foundation is contribution, not connection for its own sake. Peers who see you as someone who makes their work better — not someone who competes with them for credit — become your most organic advocates. Relationship 3: Mentors — The Right Ones, Not Just Any Here Shelmina offers a counterintuitive observation that stopped me when I heard it. She regularly asks women at conferences: "How many of you have mentors?" Almost every hand goes up. Then she asks: "How many of those mentors have pushed you, accelerated your success, made you significantly better personally or professionally?" Most hands go down. "We need to be intentional and strategic even when we look for mentors," she says. "We must know: why is this person the right mentor for me, at this point in time?" A mentor who is a perfect match for where you are today may be misaligned with where you need to go next. Great mentors: Have navigated the specific transition you are facing Will push you, not just validate you Are willing to give you honest, sometimes uncomfortable feedback Have relationships and visibility at levels above your current role Shelmina's own pivotal mentor was Susan Whitney — an IBM General Manager who, in the two minutes it took to walk from a roundtable back to an office, changed the entire direction of Shelmina's career by asking one question: "Where do you want to be in five years?" That question planted a seed. Shelmina did not have the answer — but she pursued Susan as a mentor, did whatever it took to get noticed and earn time with her, and eventually built the relationship that shifted her from "doing a great job in my current role" to "thinking strategically about what I want to do next, and next, and next." Relationship 4: Sponsors — Your Most Powerful Accelerant A mentor gives advice. A sponsor gives opportunity. This distinction is critical and widely misunderstood. Sponsors use their own political capital to advocate for you — in the rooms where promotions are decided, on the committees where assignments are distributed, in the conversations where names are put forward. A sponsor says your name when you are not in the room. A mentor helps you prepare for the room. Both matter. But only one moves the needle on the broken rung. Given that women enter careers with a 14-point sponsorship deficit compared to men, closing this gap is one of the highest-ROI investments you can make in your own career advancement. You earn a sponsor the same way you earn every other relationship: by making yourself visible, demonstrating your capability in high-stakes situations, and becoming someone whose success the sponsor wants to be associated with. Shelmina's guidance: identify one person at two levels above you who has both visibility with senior leadership and the willingness to advocate. Do the work to get in their orbit. When you are there, make their decision to sponsor you easy — by showing up with the kind of work that reflects well on anyone who recommends you. The four relationships that drive women leaders career advancement: boss, peers, mentors, and sponsors How to Navigate Workplace Bias Without Losing Your Power As a woman of color scaling the corporate ladder, Shelmina encountered both internal barriers — the self-doubt and fear of belonging described in Part I — and external barriers: leaders who did not automatically see her as a candidate for leadership roles, colleagues who underestimated her capabilities, and structural biases that filtered opportunity away from people who didn't fit the existing template. Her framework for navigating bias is one of the most strategically intelligent approaches I have encountered in 30 years of coaching. It has three operating principles: Principle 1: Don't React — Prove "When you react, you give your power away to them....

Seth Lloyd, an MIT professor and quantum computing specialist, came under fire for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after it emerged that he accepted both direct and indirect funding from Epstein—even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Lloyd met with Epstein multiple times, gave him personal tours of MIT's facilities, and later admitted he had accepted two donations totaling roughly $225,000. Though Lloyd apologized publicly, critics argue that he knowingly legitimized a convicted sex offender by maintaining the connection and benefiting from Epstein's money. MIT placed him on paid leave in 2020 after an internal report detailed these ties, highlighting yet again how Epstein sought credibility through academia, and how figures like Lloyd gave it to him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

U.S. public opinion is undergoing a dramatic shift, with more and more Americans calling for less military support to Israel. So, is the “special relationship” between the two countries over? According to an essayist in Foreign Policy's latest print issue, the partnership has peaked—and the only way to go is down. Why is that, and how did we get here? Joshua Leifer, a columnist for Haaretz and author of that essay, joins FP Live to explore trends in the U.S.-Israeli partnership. Plus, Ravi shares his read on the proposed U.S.-Iran cease-fire deal.

If you or someone you love is navigating chronic illness inside a relationship, this episode is for you. And even if you're not personally facing a health challenge right now, this conversation matters because at some point, almost every relationship will encounter stress, illness, aging, loss, or caregiving in some form. The question is not whether challenges will come — it's how we learn to face them together while protecting the relationship itself.

There comes a point in life when the roles you've spent years perfecting no longer fit the way they once did. You've changed in a way that what once felt meaningful may suddenly feel draining. Relationships you've maintained for years can begin to feel one-sided. The goals that once motivated you may no longer inspire you. And underneath it all, there's often a quiet but persistent feeling that something inside is asking for your attention. In this episode of The Language of Love, I sit down with Michelle Oravitz, practitioner of Chinese medicine and women's health expert, to explore what happens when midlife invites us into a new relationship with ourselves. Together, we discuss the internal shifts that often emerge during this season of life, shifts that can show up as restlessness, irritability, emotional intensity, or a growing inability to keep performing versions of ourselves we've outgrown. We talk about why so many women reach a point where external validation no longer carries the same power it once did, and how learning to listen to the wisdom of the body can reveal a deeper sense of clarity, authenticity, and purpose. This conversation isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about remembering who you've been beneath the expectations, obligations, and identities you've carried for years. In this episode, you'll discover: Why emotional intensity in midlife is often a signal, not a symptom What your restlessness may be trying to tell you How external validation can quietly shape your choices—and what happens when it stops working The connection between body awareness, intuition, and decision-making Why certain relationships suddenly feel exhausting or misaligned How authenticity begins to replace performance as you grow older The surprising overlap between desire, irritation, and inner knowing What changes when you stop reacting to your life and start listening to it Simple practices that help you reconnect with yourself and hear your own truth more clearly If you've been feeling like something is shifting inside you even if everything looks the same on the outside this conversation offers language for a transition many women experience but few know how to describe. Because some of life's most important transformations don't arrive with a dramatic announcement. They begin as a whisper. And over time, become impossible to ignore.. For those drawn to embodied approaches to women's health and midlife transition, Michelle Oravitz's work in Chinese medicine offers a grounded way to reconnect with the body's intelligence and navigate this next phase with more clarity and ease.

Have you ever said yes and felt your stomach drop the second the word left your mouth? Have you ever gone along with something, not because you wanted to, but because saying no felt too risky, too selfish, or just too hard? That discomfort has a name, and it runs a lot deeper than conflict avoidance or wanting to keep the peace. People pleasing is a fear based pattern, and in this episode, we get into what's really driving it, why saying no can feel almost impossible, and what it actually costs you when your self worth gets tied to how much you give. In this episode, you'll hear: What people pleasing in relationships really looks like: overgiving, over-helping, and automatically going along with what everyone else wants Where genuine kindness ends and self abandonment begins, and how to recognize which one's driving you How self worth, approval seeking, and conditional love shape the way you try to stay accepted and loved Why body image can become another arena where people pleasers learn to seek approval and shrink themselves to fit in How simple boundary language can help you pause before the automatic yes takes over Why learning to sit with discomfort is the real path to choosing yourself If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's comfort, this one's for you. Your self worth was never supposed to depend on how much you help, how agreeable you are, or how well you keep the peace. Let's rebrand wellness together! Elizabeth, Tara & Maria   Connect with us!

Before there were relationships, there was adaptation. Before there were marriages, there was adaptation. Before there were families, civilizations, languages, philosophies, religions, identities, cultures, nations, and histories, there was adaptation. Existence itself rests upon a single uncompromising principle: Everything that lives must continuously adjust to what is. Nothing receives exemption. Stars adapt to gravitational forces. Forests adapt to seasons. Species adapt to environments. Consciousness adapts to experience. Life itself survives through perpetual negotiation with reality. Only the human ego attempts a different strategy. It attempts permanence. It attempts certainty. It attempts preservation. It attempts to freeze living things into familiar forms and then calls that stability. This may explain one of the greatest tragedies in intimate relationships. Many people do not fall in love with a person. They fall in love with a version. A snapshot. A moment. A psychological photograph taken during a particular season of someone's evolution. Years later they discover the photograph has changed. The ambitions changed. The fears changed. The values changed. The body changed. The dreams changed. The identity changed. And suddenly what should have been expected feels like betrayal. Not because transformation occurred. Because transformation was never included in the original agreement. The relationship begins suffering from a silent disease. Not incompatibility. Not conflict. Not communication problems. The disease is the expectation that life should stop moving. Yet life never agreed to such a contract. Every intimate relationship eventually becomes a confrontation with the most fundamental law of existence: Nothing living remains the same. The deepest form of love may therefore have very little to do with possession, agreement, compatibility, romance, chemistry, or even commitment. It may involve something far more difficult. Participation. The willingness to remain present while another human being becomes. Not who you expected. Not who you prefer. Not who you originally chose. But who life is continuously revealing. This is where rigidity enters the story. Most people misunderstand rigidity. Rigidity is not strength. Rigidity is fear attempting to negotiate with impermanence. A boundary protects what is essential. Rigidity protects what is familiar. A boundary serves growth. Rigidity resists growth. A boundary preserves integrity. Rigidity preserves certainty. One creates intimacy. The other slowly suffocates it. The irony feels almost unbearable. Many people spend years defending what they call standards, principles, values, self-respect, masculinity, femininity, tradition, or boundaries. Underneath the language often sits something much older. Fear. The fear that adaptation will require grief. Because adaptation always demands the death of something. A belief. An expectation. A certainty. An identity. A story. A version of ourselves. A version of our partner. Love therefore asks for a sacrifice few people anticipate. Not the sacrifice of self. The sacrifice of illusion. The illusion that the person beside you can remain unchanged while everything else in existence continues evolving. This becomes even more complicated when childhood wounds enter the relationship. An abandoned child becomes an adult demanding certainty. A neglected child becomes an adult demanding emotional guarantees. A rejected child becomes an adult demanding constant validation. The wound incurs the debt. The partner receives the invoice. What began as pain becomes expectation. Expectation becomes entitlement. Entitlement becomes rigidity. Rigidity becomes relational gravity. The relationship slowly bends around old injuries rather than present reality. Two people stop meeting each other. They begin negotiating with ghosts. One partner speaks from today. The other responds from twenty years ago. One partner changes. The other interprets the change as abandonment. One partner evolves. The other experiences evolution as betrayal. Neither understands the actual conflict. The argument appears relational. The conflict is ontological. Reality keeps moving. Someone is trying to stop it. Daoist philosophy recognized this thousands of years ago. Water never argues with the riverbed. Water never demands permanence. Water never mistakes form for essence. It changes continuously while remaining completely itself. Rain. Mist. Ice. River. Ocean. Different expressions. Same nature. Healthy love functions the same way. Its essence remains while its expression evolves. The couples who survive decades together may not possess superior communication skills. They may not possess superior compatibility. They may simply understand a truth that many never discover: Love is not measured by how tightly you hold on. Love is measured by how truthfully you participate in another person's becoming. Can you update your understanding as quickly as life updates the person you love? Can you release outdated versions of them before resentment builds a shrine around them? Can you remain curious where others become certain? Can you remain present where others become controlling? Can you bless evolution where others call it betrayal? Because eventually every intimate relationship arrives at the same doorway. On one side stands certainty. On the other stands life. You cannot hold both. The person who chooses certainty eventually loses intimacy. The person who chooses life discovers that adaptation was never the enemy. Adaptation was love's highest form of intelligence. And perhaps its most sacred expression.

Most Christians spend 40+ hours a week at work but never think of that time as ministry. If you believe faith belongs only in church, you are missing most of your week. Tom Lutz spent decades building a global business and coaching Christian CEOs, and he makes the case that your job is where your calling lives. Key Discussion Points: Tom explains why work was part of paradise before the fall, and why that changes how you should think about your job today. Every role, from HVAC technician to trash collector, contributes to a world that God wants to see flourish. He walks through a practical framework for identifying every role God has called you to, including parent, spouse, and employee, and allocating intentional time to each instead of defaulting to busyness. The Ten Commandments are not a checklist for earning God's approval. Tom shows how they function as a guide to wise daily life, including how you tip, how you drive, and how you treat the person picking up trash. Tom draws a clear line between religion as rule-keeping and faith as a changed identity. Christianity starts with who you are, not what you do or what you know. He shares a simple, repeatable habit for making Jesus attractive at work without cold outreach or pressure: lead a life others notice, then tell them why. About the Guest: Tom Lutz is the president of Vision Planners LLC and a Convene chair in Atlanta.

Jan teaches a comprehensive framework for showing up as your whole, aligned self—not just at work, but at home, in relationships, and in every role you hold. She's spent decades building businesses, raising foster children, and discovering that true success isn't about shiny exteriors. It's about alignment, wholeness, and leading with love.They explore:Why self-love and alignment are the foundation for showing up well everywhereHow love brings cohesion, and the two-degree shifts that help you move toward itWhat it means to show up whole as a parent, partner, executive, and human beingJan's philosophy is simple but radical: all of you is delicious, including the parts you'd rather hide. She talks about facing fear with compassion, making tiny shifts toward alignment, and discovering that love is a universal protocol that works in the boardroom and the bedroom, in parenting and in marriage. The roadblocks are comparison and fear, but the tools are practical: self-discovery and the willingness to show up as yourself, fully aligned, in every relationship that matters.Connect with Jan:Get her book, Bedroom Etiquette: How to Show Up Well Behind Closed Doors: amazon.com/Bedroom-Etiquette-Behind-Closed-Doors/dp/B0DXV7W8S1?tag=syty-20ShowUpWell.comInstagram: instagram.com/showupwellLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/showupwellReferenced in this Episode:A Course in Miracles Links:amazon.com/Course-Miracles-Combined-Quality/dp/1883360242?tag=syty-20marianne.com/acim/apps.apple.com/us/app/acim-remind/id737568020________________________________________________________________________________________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?

While it can feel awkward for some, it doesn't have to! In my book, networking is about building meaningful relationships. Listen for six simple, powerful networking strategies to help you connect authentically, deepen relationships, and create opportunities that actually lead somewhere. Whether you're attending a conference, industry event, or meeting someone new over coffee, these practical tips will help you network with confidence and intention. The truth is, the best networkers aren't the people working the room or talking the most, they're the people building real relationships. In this episode, I'm sharing 6 practical networking strategies that have helped me build genuine connections, create opportunities, and stay top of mind with the right people. Here's three of the tips below:  1. Show interest. Ask questions. Be curious. People remember how you made them feel. Instead of thinking about what to say next, focus on learning about them. Ask thoughtful questions, listen deeply, and get genuinely curious about their story, work, and goals. 2. Be of service. One of the best networking questions you can ask is:“How can I support you?” or “Who can I connect you with?” Relationships grow faster when you lead with generosity instead of asking, What can I get from this? 3. Take a picture + save their number immediately. This may sound unconventional, but it works. Take a quick photo together so you remember who they are, put their contact information into your phone right away, and send a quick text while you're standing there. This makes follow-up easier and increases the likelihood that the connection actually continues. Key Takeaway: The best networking isn't transactional, it's relational. Be curious, be generous, find connection, and don't wait to follow up. Small actions today can turn into meaningful relationships and unexpected opportunities tomorrow. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who wants to build stronger relationships and bigger opportunities through authentic connection.

My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role).  Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did." Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission? That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem. Once I did, I wanted every woman to experience that same freedom.

In this episode, I sit down with Kasey Jorgenson, broker and owner of Jorgenson Group Real Estate, to discuss how agents and brokerages can use AI to streamline operations, improve follow-up, and create more time for meaningful client relationships.  Kasey shares how his team is leveraging AI-powered workflows, automated task management, and custom-built assistants to reduce administrative burden and help agents focus on high-value activities. From using AI to prioritize daily tasks and review communications to building an internal AI assistant that helps identify opportunities and improve lead engagement, he provides practical examples that agents can implement today.   The conversation also explores how AI is changing the role of CRMs, why connectors and integrations are becoming increasingly important, and how even non-technical agents and brokers can begin building custom solutions to solve real business challenges. Kasey explains why AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance productivity and client service, not replace the human relationships that drive long-term success in real estate.   Guest: Kasey Jorgenson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaseyjorgenson/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaseyjorgenson  Website:  https://jorgensonrealestate.com/ Host: Rajeev Sajja Website: http://www.realestateaiflash.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsajja Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/rajeev_sajja LinkedIn: http://www.linkedIn.com/in/rsajja Rajeev's Resources:  Join our Instagram Real Estate AI Insiders Channel - https://ig.me/j/AbZCJG37DqBPPtxi/ Get 14 days Wispro Flow Pro Free Trial - https://ref.wisprflow.ai/rajeev-sajja  Subscribe to our weekly AI Newsletter: https://realestateai-flash.beehiiv.com/subscribe

Zach sits down with Anna, a faculty member at the Relational Life Institute and one of his mentors, and her husband John, a self-described practitioner of life rather than therapy. Together, the three of them get into something that rarely happens on relationship podcasts: a real, textured, honest look at what it means to actually live relational principles inside a marriage, not just teach them.The episode turns on a fascinating contrast. Anna has been steeped in Relational Life Therapy for years, knows the language and the tools inside and out, and still finds herself slipping into covert control. John has no clinical training, no internet footprint, and no interest in marketing the work, but walks into every conversation with an intuitive grasp of what healthy relating requires. Zach presses both of them on this. What does doing the work actually mean when one partner has the vocabulary and the other just seems to live it? The answers are more interesting than either of them might have predicted.The centerpiece story is a moment from a joint retreat in Costa Rica, where Anna had to manage a minor household crisis back home without telling John what was happening. She kept things managed, kept things calm, and kept him in the dark, and then eventually had to reckon with the fact that her "helpfulness" had crossed over into exactly the pattern she spends her professional life helping couples dismantle. When she finally told him, his response was one of the most reparative moments she had experienced in their relationship. That single story opens into a much bigger conversation about the difference between protecting your partner and controlling the room, about what it costs to never let yourself be surprised by someone else's goodness.What sticks is this: the goal is not to never get off balance. It is to catch it sooner. Anna says it plainly and Zach echoes it with his now-running story about screaming at strangers in the Costco gas line. Nobody has figured this out. Nobody is immune. But some people are getting better at noticing, and this episode is 45 minutes of what that actually looks and sounds like in a real marriage.Key TakeawaysIntimacy requires level ground. You cannot have real closeness from a one-up or one-down position, whether that means superiority, caretaking, or control.Covert control often starts as kindness. What begins as "protecting" your partner can quietly become a way of managing your own anxiety about their reaction.Predicting a bad response can cost you a good one. When Anna stopped waiting for John to disappoint her and told him what was going on, she got one of the most reparative moments in their relationship.The work is not a destination you arrive at. It is the repeated, unglamorous act of noticing when you have drifted, and coming back.Doing the work is not the same as talking about the work. John's ability to intuit the relational principles without the clinical vocabulary challenges the assumption that people who read the books and say the right things are necessarily further along.How you show up solicits how your partner shows up. Bringing your grounded, adult self to an interaction invites the same from the person across from you. It is not a guarantee, but it raises the odds significantly."On a good day" is not the benchmark. The real growth shows up in what you do when it is a bad day and the old patterns are calling your name loudest.Repair is available more often than we let ourselves believe. The barrier is usually not the other person. It is the story we are already telling about how they are going to respond.Guest InfoAnna is a therapist, teacher, and faculty member at the Relational Life Institute. She is a practitioner and trainer in Relational Life Therapy, an approach developed by Terry Real. She references her use of RLT both in her clinical practice and in her own marriage. She is also Zach's mentor, a relationship he acknowledges directly during the episode.John is Anna's husband. He is not a clinician. He came to the relational principles through personal experience, yoga, mindfulness practice, and what he describes as a forced epiphany roughly a decade before this recording. His perspective as the non-therapist partner in a therapist-led framework is one of the central tensions the episode is built around.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this deeply personal episode, Marley shares one of the biggest breakthroughs she has ever had around masculine energy, money, relationships, and healing childhood wounds. She explores how the unmet needs we carry from our relationship with a parent can unconsciously shape our experiences with love, money, and life itself. Through a powerful framework and real-life examples, Marley explains why we often seek externally what we believe we are missing internally, and how reconnecting to your own inner source can transform every area of your life.If you've ever felt abandoned, unchosen, unsupported, or like you're constantly chasing something outside yourself, this episode will give you a completely new perspective on healing, manifestation, and personal freedom. In This Episode We Cover:Why childhood experiences with your parents can shape your relationship with money and loveThe hidden wounds that attract repeating relationship patternsHow unmet needs create subconscious beliefs that influence your realityThe connection between masculine energy, money, and emotional safetyWhy external validation can never heal an internal woundThe difference between seeking from lack versus creating from wholenessHow to identify the phrase you always wished you heard from a parentWhy the universe mirrors your unhealed wounds back to youThe concept of becoming "whole" by healing the "holes" withinHow reconnecting to a higher power can shift feelings of abandonment and rejectionLearning to give yourself what you've been seeking from othersWhy your relationship with money often reflects your deepest emotional patternsHow to move from desperation and scarcity into overflow and abundanceThe power of becoming your own inner source of love, safety, and validation Key TakeawaysThe things we spend our lives seeking from money, relationships, and the world around us are often reflections of unmet needs from our past. When we learn to source those needs from within and reconnect to our own wholeness, we stop chasing and start attracting. True abundance begins when you realize that everything you've been looking for already exists inside of you.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brendan Kaminsky. Founder of B Known Agency, a boutique branding and digital marketing firm specializing in sports and entertainment. Kaminsky shares his journey from consulting, to working at ESPN, to eventually launching his own agency. He discusses helping major personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Jalen Rose, Harrison Barnes, and Rich Eisen develop strong social media identities and storytelling strategies. Brendan explains why he left ESPN after six and a half years—despite the security, prestige, and Disney benefits—to pursue entrepreneurship. He describes how brand building has shifted from traditional media to a landscape where relatability, vertical video, audience engagement, and consistent content matter more than follower counts. He also talks about the pressure of managing public-facing work in real time, the importance of being accessible to high‑profile clients, the rising role of AI in content creation, and how social platforms have become core to modern marketing strategies. Additionally, Brendan shares specific examples of working with Jalen Rose on mixing sports commentary with community-focused storytelling and describes how Rich Eisen’s annual “Run Rich Run” 40‑yard dash evolved into a signature charitable brand moment. The interview closes with insights on relationship-building, authenticity, and visibility—reinforcing that in the digital era, it’s not just “who you know,” but who knows you. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Brendan Kaminsky’s entrepreneurial journey McDonald explores how Kaminsky transitioned from a major corporation (ESPN) to founding a successful agency. 2. To educate listeners on the evolving world of branding and digital media Kaminsky explains how branding now depends on relatability, vertical video, and engagement over follower count. 3. To provide actionable guidance for entrepreneurs and creators The interview teaches how consistency, accessibility, and storytelling help build a recognizable digital brand. 4. To show how athletes and media personalities use content to expand influence Brendan walks through real client strategies—from Jalen Rose’s community work to Rich Eisen’s fundraising dash. 5. To explore the role of AI in modern marketing Kaminsky discusses how AI assists with analytics, research, and identifying viral content moments. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Relatability drives modern branding People connect with authenticity, not polished promotion. Talk to your audience, not at them. 2. Engagement matters more than follower count Algorithms reward content that resonates, regardless of how many people follow you. A creator with 10,000 followers can hit a million views. 3. Social media requires presence and accessibility High-profile clients expect responsiveness; being available is key to agency success. 4. Vertical video is the new standard Optimizing content for mobile consumption is essential—TV graphics no longer dictate how content is built. 5. AI is an asset, not a threat Kaminsky uses AI for virality scoring, caption suggestions, research, and identifying strong clips from long-form content. 6. Data tells the story Success can be clearly measured through views, engagement, and growth—unlike billboards or traditional media. 7. Use “hot topics” to highlight deeper work For clients like Jalen Rose, trending sports conversations help drive attention to community-focused initiatives like his leadership academy. 8. Brand moments can start from something small Rich Eisen’s 40-yard dash evolved into a signature charity event and content anchor. 9. Entrepreneurship requires trusting your gut He left ESPN without telling anyone beforehand to avoid discouragement—because he felt the pull to build his own vision. 10. Visibility creates opportunity In the digital era, it’s not just who you know—it’s who knows you. NOTABLE QUOTES On entrepreneurship “I trusted my gut… I didn’t tell one person I was leaving ESPN because I didn’t want anyone to make me doubt myself.” On branding “People want to relate to you. They want to get to know you.” “Talk directly to your audience.” On social metrics “It’s become a lot more about engagement and views than total follower number.” On accessibility “You could be the best at your job, but if a client can’t reach you, it doesn’t matter.” On visibility “It’s not about who you know—it’s about who knows you.” On AI “AI is absolutely an asset… it helps us with research, analytics, even virality scoring.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The persistent rumors of a romantic relationship between Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew have been reignited by the forthcoming book The Rise and Fall of the House of York by royal biographer Andrew Lownie. In the book, Lownie presents testimony from insiders and former friends of the Duke of York who claim Maxwell and Andrew shared more than just a social friendship. According to the book, the two were romantically involved, with some sources describing them as “an item” during the 1990s. Maxwell, Lownie writes, was obsessed with status and saw Andrew as both a romantic target and a royal stepping stone. Their relationship, according to these accounts, was well known among those in their inner circles—casting doubt on the prince's repeated insistence that he barely knew her.These claims put Prince Andrew's public denials under fresh scrutiny and deepen the sense that he was far more involved with the Epstein-Maxwell operation than he's admitted. If Maxwell and Andrew were romantically entangled, it suggests that he wasn't just a royal caught in the wrong company—but a man emotionally and personally tied to Epstein's chief accomplice. This complicates his attempts to distance himself from the scandal, particularly in light of the settlement he paid to Virginia Giuffre. Lownie's revelations don't just challenge the official narrative—they threaten to obliterate it, exposing the possibility that the prince's entanglement with Maxwell was neither incidental nor peripheral, but intimate, calculated, and deeply compromising.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew Had 'Affair' With Ghislaine Maxwell: Book - Newsweek

DMV Hoops Podcast – Episode 116

“Speak your truth” sounds like the most honest thing you can do. But it's not. Your truth is your perspective. It is what is real within your current awareness. And when you hold it like a fact, like the final word on what happened or who your partner is, there is nowhere left for the conversation to go.I heard a quote about ten years ago that I have never forgotten. Honesty changes with one's awareness. The truth is always the same. That is the distinction. In this episode:* Understand why speaking your truth can actually shut a conversation down before it has a chance to go anywhere* Recognize the three ways it quietly breaks relational communication without you realizing it* Learn Terry Real's feedback wheel, a four-step tool for sharing what you feel and what you need without putting your partner on the defenseYour partner cannot meet you in a conversation you have already closed.If this one landed and you want support bringing this into your relationship, I work with couples on exactly this.

Welcome back to part two of our Money Mindset Conversation! Today, I'm sitting down once again with endurance and mindset coach Jennifer Vollmann to dive deep into a topic that so many of us try to avoid: our relationship with debt. Debt can feel like a heavy, nasty word that gets instantly tangled up with our personal identity and self-worth. In this episode, Jennifer breaks down why numbers on a computer screen feel so personal, how shame can completely freeze our business progress, and how we can systematically rewrite the stories we tell ourselves about what we owe. We also discuss a powerful concept that got Jennifer to the Ironman World Championships: borrowing belief from a coach or mentor until you can build your own evidence. Key Takeaways Numbers are Neutral: A figure like $50,000 is just data on a screen. It doesn't have power until your brain attaches a narrative to it. The Danger of Shame: Shame is the ultimate stalling emotion. When we internalize debt as a personal failure, we freeze, avoid the numbers, and stop taking action. The Micro-Action Formula: Overcoming financial overwhelm starts with taking one small action within 24 hours to give your brain immediate feedback and build proof. Borrowing Belief: When you can't see a path to financial freedom yourself, it is entirely okay to borrow the unwavering belief of your coach or mentor while you take the initial steps. Episode Highlights What Are You Making the Numbers Mean? Jennifer explains how quickly our brains assign meaning to a number. Seeing a credit card balance or loan statement triggers an immediate thought (e.g., "This is too big"), which creates an emotion (overwhelm), drives a behavior (stalling/avoidance), and reinforces the original negative result. Unraveling Your Debt Patterns Are you prone to freezing, over-delivering to overcompensate, or falling into the compare and despair trap? We look at how our internal debt stories sabotage other parts of our businesses—like stopping us from pricing our services at what we are actually worth. The 24-Hour Micro-Action I share a powerful exercise I use with my own coaching clients: writing down every single piece of debt with absolute honesty. No hiding, no lying to yourself. Putting a name and a number to everything on a single piece of paper stops the energy suck of the numbers swirling endlessly in your head. Can You Borrow Belief From Someone Else? Jennifer and I discuss how she used borrowed belief from her athletic coach to train for Kona before she ever believed it was possible herself. We talk about how to apply this to your finances—using the proof of a system or a coach's belief in you as a stepping stone to take action. Insights From Jennifer "Somebody with $50,000 in debt might feel it's not a problem at all, while somebody with $5,000 in debt is completely crushed by it every single day. The debt is just a neutral circumstance. It is just a monetary figure. You get to decide what the story is." "If you find yourself in deep shame with debt, the first thing to do is see if you can get to a slightly better thought. Even reminding yourself, 'Good people also have debt,' helps disconnect your intrinsic self-worth from your ability to run a business."

Most of us grew up with the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” It's simple, it's memorable, and it works at a basic level. But as adults, Joe Rockey has been noticing a hard truth: that rule can fail fast in real relationships—because people value different things, receive care differently, and can completely miss a gesture that would have meant the world to you.So Joe and Father Boniface Hicks press into the upgrade Jesus gives at the Last Supper: “Love one another as I have loved you.” That standard doesn't start with your preferences. It starts with Jesus—His self-emptying love, His patience, His sacrifice, and the grace that makes that kind of love possible in us. The conversation reframes Christian love as more than being “nice” or being reciprocal; it's learning to see and serve the other person as Christ sees and serves them, in a way that builds communion rather than control.Key IdeasThe Golden Rule helps children learn the basics, but adult relationships need more than “my preferences projected onto you.”Jesus sets a higher standard: love as He loves—not simply “love your neighbor as yourself.”That love isn't willpower; it's grace-driven transformation (sanctification) into Christlikeness.Real love requires mutuality: listening, learning, appropriate vulnerability, and choosing what actually serves the other.God's love is personal and present: Jesus knows us fully and loves us anyway—so we can stop “performing” and start growing.Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?
