In this special Mother's Day episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Stephanie Rank, career coach, solopreneur, mom, and breast cancer survivor. Her story is one of deep faith, unwavering strength, and learning to redefine what "success" truly means.We talk about what it looks like to run a business while navigating motherhood and a cancer diagnosis, and how faith, boundaries, and grace helped Stephanie rebuild not just her business, but her life.

Sometimes friendship can be a powerful force for social and political change.This is according to today's guest, Priya Vulchi, author of the newly-released (and AMAZING!) Good Friends: Bonds That Change Us and the World, which offers a resounding cry that friendship is vital, not just for individual well-being, but for humanity itself.Priya is the co-founder of the nonprofit, Choose; was the youngest TED resident ever; has been published in places like The New York Times and Time Magazine; and is pursuing her Ph.D. in African and African American Studies at Harvard as a presidential scholar.In other words, she knows what she's talking about. But here's why I'm excited about this conversation: we talk about how real authentic friendship is actually RADICAL and can change the world, challenging the status quo and causing people to care about issues simply because they impact the people they love.In this episode you'll hear about:Aristotle's three types of friendship – utility, pleasure, and virtue – and how these definitions still apply todayHow friendship challenges capitalistic models of overconsumption and self-reliance by relying on friends for favors instead of Uber or Amazon How friendship can be political, requiring people to challenge their self-interests and deepen relationshipsThe concept of heteros, or political friendship, and how it is as important as philia, or friendship of virtue; plus, the importance of joy in friendshipsResources & LinksBe sure to read Good Friends: Bonds That Change Us and the World by Priya Vulchi and her first book, Tell Me Who You Are: Sharing Our Stories of Race, Culture, and Identity, which she wrote with Winona Guo.Like what you hear?

In this powerful and heart-opening episode, we sit down with Robin and Michael, the married founders of Couples.Solutions—a dynamic duo made up of a therapist and a coach—who are also PAIRS certified and deeply passionate about helping couples thrive.We explore:

Wondering if your relationship should involve more sex or comparing yourself to what you think is normal? You're not alone. Many couples quietly struggle with mismatched desire, emotional disconnection or unclear expectations about what intimacy should look like.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to not be having enough sex, how responsive desire plays a role in long-term relationships, and why connection doesn't always come from frequency.This one is honest, awkward in all the right ways and full of practical ways to start talking about sex in a way that brings you closer, not further apart.Key takeaways:Why mismatched desire is more common than you thinkWhat the difference is between spontaneous and responsive desireHow shame, stress, and resentment affect libidoWhy “not enough sex” often isn't about sex at allHow to talk about desire and initiate without pressureThe myth of “normal” frequency in relationshipsThe dual control model: brakes, accelerators, and contextWhat couples can learn from Emily Nagoski's work?If this episode sounds like something you or your partner need to hear, share it with them. Sex is just one way we connect but the conversation around it can be the most meaningful part.Resources:Emily Nagoski – Come As You AreConnected Teens https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teens/Connect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

I'm going on tour! Come see The School of Greatness LIVE in person!Get my new book Make Money Easy here!Most of us unknowingly live under what family therapy expert Jerry Wise calls "the family trance" – a powerful force that shapes our identity without our awareness. After 45 years helping thousands break free from dysfunctional family patterns, Jerry reveals how our adult struggles often stem from inherited emotional programming that creates a "malignant normalcy" within us. Through our conversation, he shares the revolutionary concept of self-differentiation – the courageous process of separating your true self from your family's expectations while remaining emotionally connected. When Jerry states "whatever issues I leave unresolved, who gets to resolve them? My children," I realized this might be the most transformative conversation we've had about breaking generational patterns. His profound insight that "it's never too late to have a happy childhood" offers hope to anyone trapped in cycles of criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity that originated in their family system.Get Jerry's Free 84-Minute 'Self-Differentiation' TrainingGet more from Jerry on YouTubeIn this episode you will learn:Why criticizing yourself harshly is often your "family self" talking, not your authentic voiceHow to identify if you had narcissistic parents and what that means for your adult relationshipsThe three levels of resistance you'll face when changing family dynamics and how to overcome themWhy trying to change your parents is futile, but changing yourself transforms the entire systemThe difference between setting outer boundaries and the crucial inner boundaries needed for healingHow the "fantasy" of finally getting parental approval keeps many adults emotionally stuckWhy it's never too late to have a happy childhood through self-parenting and inner child workThe three core elements needed for lasting change: self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-differentiationFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1747For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Gabby Bernstein – greatness.lnk.to/1714SCJason Wilson  – greatness.lnk.to/1725SCMel Robbins – greatness.lnk.to/1710SC Get more from Lewis!

Click here to follow the Higher Vibrations in Higher Education Podcast!Grit and Grace: Be willing to throw it all at the wall with Yoga with Jake.Jake Panasevich carved out a path to be a disseminator of the benefits of yoga with an emphasis on reaching men and athletes. In looking at his offerings and success, I got the “he's so lucky” mindset. I saw that he had this cool career of writing, disseminating, and teaching yoga—and felt envy. On this episode we dive into the day-to-day variety of activities he faces to match his grit and grace. And, we get the origin story of why this is such an important target audience for him. Jake talks about being on a college wrestling team in an incredibly toxic environment – which launched his aversion and mistrust of men. However, through trying to get in shape without wrecking his body and beyond that, a community finding community, he came to the mat. Now he offers “Yoga with Jake” predominantly for men and athletes—healing himself while helping others get embodied. Don't miss some of the honest and practical takeaways of this episode, including:First yoga class: Did everything “wrong” but felt betterIn both teacher training and journalism, get your feet wet, get yourself out thereThree tips to reach more men in your class: 1) be direct—do this for this benefit, 2) focus on connection—show them you care, and 3) avoid energy jargonFocus on seva- selfless service as the primary archetype of an instructor  Give everyone permission to be themselvesBecome masterful at active language and landmarksFeedback is love, it's a positive thing, pushing a skill further, progressing.Ask: is this “better, worse, or the same” rather than vague “is this good?Knowing where you want to be of service; your audience, your mission as a teacherThere is a very real struggle in the hustle of making a living as a teacherThe work is fun and meaningful but requires efforting. It's the balance of effort and ease, just like in a yoga practiceIt's still a lot of work to plan and fill a workshop- even at 20 years and help from a studio; there's so much to juggle, relationship with studio owners, self-worth tanks if you don't get a raise, etc.  Yoga teachers are good at getting people to feel into their feelings; but you have to constantly business developBe with family, nurture relationshipsThe space is not saturated: know yourself, know your audience. Stay flexible.Real distrust and aversion to men- thinking no guy would be someone I want to connect withListen to peer and mentor- be willing to tryYoga teacher and entrepreneur, throw a lot at the wall, a lot won't work.. but “the obstacle is the way”Teach what you learned while still in the middle of it allFlourishing is “not resisting, letting go”. It's loving your life with all the different flavors, invite them. Find the beauty in the mundane.Stepping on the mat does not mean you'll no longer step in dog shitCan't experience success all day every dayGet back to who or what I am—and match those practices.Honesty is love, honesty is showing you care.Just go out and try it. Intend. Action matters.Throw it at the wall—this is the “school of action.”Support the show

Time moves fast—both in life and in business. As entrepreneurs, real estate agents, and business owners, we often find ourselves chasing the next deal, the next milestone, or the next big win. But what if, in doing so, we miss the moments that matter most? In this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Q., I dive into the power of being present in business and why it's the key to long-term success and fulfillment.After experiencing my son's senior night, I was reminded how quickly time flies. One moment, we're cheering them on at their first game, and the next, we're watching them walk across the court for their final home match. This realization applies just as much to business as it does to life. The truth is, the way we show up for our clients, our teams, and our families matters more than we think. Being present in business isn't just about work—it's about creating lasting relationships, building trust, and making an impact.In this episode, I share:Why time moves faster than we realize and how to be intentional with itHow being present in business helps real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and business owners build stronger relationshipsThe impact of showing up fully for your clients, team, and familyThe biggest mistakes business owners make when chasing growthSimple strategies to integrate presence into your daily routineFor real estate entrepreneurs and business owners, being present in business is more than a mindset shift—it's a game changer. When we take the time to truly connect, to listen, and to celebrate wins instead of rushing to the next goal, we build businesses that stand the test of time. Whether you're a real estate investor, a business coach, or an entrepreneur scaling multiple streams of income, this episode will help you find the balance between growth and presence.So, here's your challenge: Identify one area in your life or business where you've been too focused on the future and commit to being fully present. It could be a dinner with your family, a moment to celebrate a business win, or an intentional check-in with your team—small actions make the biggest difference.If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow entrepreneur who needs this message.

Send us a textAre you navigating the emotional landscape of non-monogamy? In this episode, I chat with Lola Phoenix, author of "The Anxious Person's Guide to Non-Monogamy", "The Non-monogamy Journal", and host of the "Non-Monogamy Help" podcast. We chat about the complexities of open relationships and how to build a toolkit for managing the intense emotions that often arise.Key Insights:The importance of having a personal "anchor" in non-monogamous relationshipsCreating a self-care emergency protocol for challenging emotional momentsWhy traditional advice like "just go on a date night" might not always workHow to approach STI discussions and boundaries in open relationshipsThe value of community support in navigating non-monogamous lifestylesWe explore the concept of an "anchor" - a personal reason for choosing non-monogamy that goes beyond just keeping your current relationship intact. Lola explains why this is crucial for weathering the inevitable emotional storms that come with opening up a relationship.A Peek Into the Episode:"I think that anxiety is actually a pretty normal reaction for most people to their relationship opening. And I don't think that you necessarily have to be an anxious person to be super anxious when that's happening." ~Lola PhoenixLola challenges the notion that you can simply "research your way out of feelings" and offers practical advice for creating a self-care plan. We discuss the importance of writing down your strategies for managing difficult emotions, as your brain might not be in a learning state when you're feeling activated.We also touch on the sometimes heartbreaking situations Lola encounters in their advice column, where non-monogamy isn't the real issue, but rather a symptom of deeper relationship problems.Whether you're new to non-monogamy or a seasoned explorer, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on building healthier, more authentic relationships. Join us as we unpack the emotional complexities of open relationships and discover tools for creating more fulfilling connections.Check out Lola's books and resources at Poly Healing Retreat in Crete – March 31st to April 3rd, 2025Looking for a transformative getaway to deepen your connections and heal relationship challenges?
