What if the most powerful part of your retreat isn't what happens during the retreat-but what happens before and after?   In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with author, certified life coach, and wellness mentor Lauren Tedeschi to explore how retreat leaders can create deeper, longer-lasting transformation by embracing Lauren's Still Momentum framework.   Inspired by her new book, Still Momentum: How to Heal and Thrive at the Same Time, Lauren shares why stillness isn't about doing less-it's about becoming more intentional. In a world that constantly encourages us to consume more, do more, and move faster, she explains how creating moments of pause can actually help people move forward with greater clarity and purpose.   Together, Shannon and Lauren discuss how retreat leaders can weave Still Momentum into every stage of the retreat experience-from preparing guests before they arrive, to creating meaningful moments during the retreat, and continuing the transformation long after everyone goes home.   If you're looking for ways to create retreats that leave a lasting impact instead of a temporary emotional high, this conversation is full of practical ideas and inspiration.   In This Episode You'll Learn: How to create lasting transformation through your retreats Why retreat experiences should begin before guests arrive Simple ways to support guests after your retreat ends How the Still Momentum framework strengthens the retreat experience Why stillness and progress can exist together How to deepen guest relationships beyond the retreat weekend Why intentional follow-up creates stronger communities and repeat guests Whether you're hosting wellness retreats, leadership retreats, women's retreats, or personal development experiences, this episode will help you design retreats that continue changing lives long after checkout. What You'll Learn How to create transformational retreats Retreat follow-up strategies that build long-term relationships Why pre-retreat preparation matters How to improve the guest experience before, during, and after your retreat Ways to increase retreat guest engagement How retreat leaders can create lasting transformation Why stillness is becoming more valuable in today's AI-driven world Key Takeaways Transformation Doesn't End at Checkout The most impactful retreats continue long after guests return home. Intentional follow-up helps participants integrate what they've learned into everyday life. Stillness Creates Clarity   In a world filled with constant notifications, AI, and endless information, stillness has become one of our greatest competitive advantages.   Retreats Should Start Before Arrival   Preparing guests emotionally and mentally before they arrive creates a more meaningful retreat experience from day one.   Retreat Leaders Build Community, Not Just Events   The strongest retreat businesses don't end when the retreat ends.   They create ongoing relationships that keep guests connected and engaged.   Momentum Doesn't Always Mean More Action   Sometimes the greatest progress happens when we slow down enough to hear what matters most.   About Lauren Tedeschi   Lauren Tedeschi is the author of Still Momentum: How to Heal and Thrive at the Same Time, a certified life coach, wellness mentor, and creator of the Still Momentum Experience.   With a background in leadership development, professional coaching, and transformational facilitation, Lauren helps individuals and retreat leaders create experiences that inspire meaningful, lasting change.   Drawing from both her professional expertise and personal journey, Lauren teaches that stillness and momentum are not opposites - they can exist together. Through her book, speaking engagements, workshops, and immersive experiences, she helps people pause with purpose, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

In this special turned-tables episode, my incredible Director of Operations, Erin Lindstrom, drops into my living room and interviews me on everything from how my lens for messaging was formed, to the frameworks I walk clients through inside the Revenue Accelerator, to the personal side of my life that I rarely talk about publicly. Erin asks me questions I've genuinely never been asked before and I share openly about my Human Design, my journalism background, why I believe none of us are reinventing the wheel, and the "fifth-grade language" test I run every framework through before I teach it. We go into the depths of Mirror Messaging vs. pain point marketing, why the real work of the Revenue Accelerator is a reclamation of who you are at your core, and why women often get stuck when they refuse to slow down enough to feel what their next-level really requires. I share what I've learned about being at the "higher level" (spoiler: the problems don't disappear, they magnify), the Contrary Action framework I use for visibility, the wildflower-versus-oak-tree analogy that's shaping how I think about quality over quantity, and the concept of loving detachment and stewardship that runs through both my business and my home life.

In this episode, I share a profound experience I had with a group of elder rescue horses at a retreat I hosted—and how they helped me see strength in a different way.A circle formed with four horses, six women, and two dogs, all coming together by some unseen force. And in that circle, the horses showed us that strength doesn't have to be about dominance or power.That experience led me to reflect on my own leadership and the qualities I once believed made a leader “strong”—qualities I didn't possess. I've come to understand that my quieter way of leading—listening, reflecting, creating space, and bringing different perspectives together—is its own kind of strength.It's what I bring to the circle.This episode asks you to consider: What do you bring that strengthens your circle?

What if becoming a better spearo had less to do with diving deeper or buying better gear—and more to do with learning how to actually see what's happening around you? In this episode, Shrek sits down with commercial fisherman, spearo, hunter and lifelong observer of the natural world Johnny Mitchell, with Johnny's longtime mate Tim McDonald joining the conversation. Johnny has spent decades living, fishing, hunting and observing in the bush and on the water. From commercially chasing Spanish mackerel and mud crabs to living out of a swag, caretaking Cape Capricorn lighthouse and spending countless hours simply watching animals behave, he has developed an extraordinary ability to recognise patterns in the natural world. The conversation explores awareness, natural intelligence, tides, weather, animal behaviour, sensory awareness and pattern recognition—and why asking simplistic questions like "Is the full moon better?" or "Does falling barometric pressure make fish bite?" can actually hold back your learning. Johnny explains why every productive fishing or spearfishing location has its own combination of features and conditions, and why the better question is often: Why were the fish here today—and why weren't they here yesterday? Tim also shares how Johnny's influence has completely changed the way he approaches spearfishing: shooting fewer fish, observing more, recognising short feeding windows and learning to know where to be, when to be there and why. This one goes well beyond spearfishing. It's a conversation about reconnecting with the natural world, waking up dulled senses and becoming less dependent on apps, assumptions and handed-down rules.

Male Loneliness Epidemic, and How Emotional Intelligence can help men Connect. - Dr. J.J. Kelly

Men Talking Mindfulness

One of the biggest reasons why many men are suffering with loneliness is their lack of emotional intelligence and emotional literacy. Dr. J.J. Kelly, the Punk Rock Doc, is a clinical psychologist who runs a practice called The Unorthodox. She is the author of the Holy Shit book series and recently wrote a piece for Vice on why men are so damn lonely. In this returning appearance, she joins Jon and Will to make a blunt, funny, and genuinely useful case: the male loneliness epidemic is about emotional illiteracy. The good news is that emotional intelligence is a set of skills anyone can learn if they are willing to do the work. This common challenge stems from limited opportunities to develop these vital skills earlier in life. Fortunately, emotional intelligence and emotional literacy are abilities anyone can strengthen through consistent practice. Men who cultivate these capacities gain the tools to identify their feelings, communicate with honesty, and form authentic connections. This growth supports men's mental health and creates space for deeper friendships and brotherhood.

After a two-week break (and a whole lot of pre-recording), Giana and Bradshaw are finally back together for a much-needed catch-up episode, and a lot has happened!Giana shares reflections from giving birth and the first weeks of motherhood, from letting go of expectations and slowing down to putting nervous system regulation into practice when there's a screaming baby in your arms. She talks about releasing the pressure to do things “right,” staying present through the unknown, the myth of having it all, and why she refuses to look back with regret.Meanwhile, Bradshaw catches us up on a summer of travel and retreats in Italy and Portugal. He reflects on the importance of letting go of control, choosing opportunities from a place of passion, and what it's been like watching the community they've built through the podcast and Instagram come to life through real friendships and experiences around the world.This episode is less about having a lesson to teach and more about reflecting on the season we're both in- birth, travel, change, community, surrender, and learning how to simply be present.We missed you.

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn't working harder-but learning from someone who's already done it? In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Shari Leid, internationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and entrepreneur, for a conversation about one of the most overlooked business skills: knowing when to ask for help.   Shari has built an incredible career as a professional speaker, but like many entrepreneurs, she wanted to diversify her business by adding memberships and retreats as recurring revenue streams.   Instead of trying to figure it out alone, she invested in learning from someone already doing it. She reached out to Shannon for coaching, attended the Retreat Industry Forum in Denver, and ultimately booked Retreat Ranch for her upcoming retreats.   This episode isn't just about retreats.   It's about humility.   It's about investing in yourself.   It's about surrounding yourself with people who have already solved the problems you're trying to solve.   If you're an entrepreneur who wants to host retreats profitably, this conversation will encourage you to stop reinventing the wheel and start accelerating your growth.   In This Episode You'll Learn: Why successful entrepreneurs ask for help sooner rather than later How to turn retreats into recurring revenue Why adding retreats can strengthen your existing business The value of learning from experienced retreat leaders How coaching and proximity accelerate business growth Why getting in the room matters more than consuming content online The mindset shift that separates successful entrepreneurs from struggling ones Whether you're a coach, speaker, consultant, author, or entrepreneur exploring retreats as a new revenue stream, this episode offers practical wisdom that can save you years of trial and error.   What You'll Learn How to make money with retreats How to turn retreats into recurring revenue Why coaching accelerates business growth The power of mentorship and proximity Why entrepreneurs should invest in learning before launching retreats How to avoid common retreat mistakes Why asking for help is a business advantage-not a weakness Key Takeaways The Best Entrepreneurs Don't Go It Alone Successful business owners know they don't need to be the expert in everything.   They find people who already are.   Retreats Can Become a Powerful Revenue Stream   When done strategically, retreats don't just create unforgettable experiences-they can become a profitable extension of your existing business.   Learn From Someone Else's Mistakes   Experience is valuable. Borrowing someone else's experience is even more valuable.   Proximity Accelerates Growth   Books, podcasts, and courses are helpful.   But getting in the room with experienced entrepreneurs changes everything.   Retreats Should Support Your Business-Not Distract From It   The best retreat leaders don't create retreats because they're trendy.   They create them because they align with their expertise, audience, and long-term business strategy.   About Shari Leid   Shari Leid is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, author, entrepreneur, and founder dedicated to helping people create meaningful lives and businesses through connection, courage, and intentional growth.   As she expands her business to include memberships and transformational retreats, Shari demonstrates exactly what lifelong learning looks like: investing in mentorship, surrounding yourself with experts, and taking action.   Learn more at: SharileidShari Leid | Executive Coach & Speaker | Connection Expert   The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Join our Mastermind in Austin!

Laura Runnels knew from a young age that solo motherhood was a path she was willing to take. What she couldn't have known was exactly how that path would unfold, from exploring known donation to ultimately using a sperm bank, conceiving at home, and later deciding whether to grow her family again.In this episode, Laura and I talk about her path to becoming a solo mom to two donor-conceived children, including some of the less conventional routes she explored along the way and the questions that came up when she began considering a second child.We also dig into the work Laura is doing now in the donor conception community. Through the Donor Conception Journal Club, she makes peer-reviewed donor conception research more accessible while encouraging readers to think critically about what the research can and cannot tell us. And as a co-founder of Parts of Me, she is working to expand the range of donor-conceived experiences represented in books, media, arts, and culture.In this episode, we discuss:Laura's early certainty that she wanted to become a mother, even if she did it on her ownHer experience searching for a known donor, including using dating apps specifically for that purposeHer eventual decision to use a sperm bank and her experience conceiving through at-home inseminationHow she thought about finances, capacity, family size, and the possibility of having a second or third childWhy donor conception research can be difficult for the average person to access and interpret, and how the Donor Conception Journal Club is helping bridge that gapThe importance of seeing a much wider range of donor-conceived experiences represented in books, movies, and culture through Parts of MeResources Mentioned:Donor Conception Journal Club: www.dcjournalclub.comParts of Me: partsofme.orgThe Ones We Choose by Julie ClarkConnect with Laura:On Instagram: @laurarunnelsOn LinkedIn: Laura RunnelsYour Next Steps:Sign Up for one of our upcoming groups at https://www.singlegreatestchoice.com/community-groupsConnect with Katie on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/single_greatest_choiceBecome part of the SGC community and stay up to date by joining our newsletter.

If you find yourself constantly resetting back to square one, you aren't building capacity—you are managing symptoms.True resilience isn't defined by how fast you bounce back from pressure; it is measured by how steady your baseline remains when pressure hits. Every experience creates a somatic-mindset feedback loop. When you autonomously self-regulate, either you leverage these moments to expand your baseline capacity, or you stagnate in a cycle of temporary recovery that perpetuates as is over time.In this episode, we unpack why conscious leaders, spiritual practitioners, and self-led individuals utilize somatic-mindset micro-habits to transcend the reset loop and move into an enlightening and intelligence growing loop instead. Discover how shifting from basic emotional control to mastery and dynamic self-leadership allows you to expand your capacity and navigate pressure from a grounded baseline. This foundation creates empowered composure, allowing you to uphold relational integrity and co-regulation.In This Episode, We Cover: The Symptom Management Trap: Why relying on repeated "resets" keeps your baseline static. The SMART MICRO-HABIT Somatic-Mindset Loop: How real-time somatic awareness and conscious mindset choices strengthen your baseline under pressure.

In this episode, I'm joined by Tanya Chomyk, author of Bringing Light to Loss, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, and finding our way forward when life changes in ways we never expected.Tanya shares her deeply personal journey of losing her infant son and the many years it took to find meaning in that loss. We talk about allowing ourselves to truly feel our emotions, creating anchors to hold onto when life feels unsteady, and learning to have a relationship with grief rather than trying to push it away.Tanya also introduces her powerful distinction between “clean pain” and “dirty pain,” and shares her five-step approach to navigating loss and major life transitions: creating a safe space to feel, practicing self-compassion, finding moments of joy and gratitude, seeking connection when we're ready, and pacing our pain.This is a conversation about love, loss, healing, and the quiet ways resilience is built over time. And perhaps most importantly, it's a reminder that we don't have to see the light right away. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next breath, trust the process, and allow healing to unfold quietly.About Tanya ChomykTania Chomyk is a life transition expert, award-winning resilience speaker, and grief educator. With over 30 years of experience in higher education, career development, and personal growth, she helps people move through life's toughest moments with clarity, courage, and compassion. Her work is rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise. After losing her infant son unexpectedly, Tania's world shifted. That loss became the spark for a new path—one focused on healing with purpose and supporting others through grief, major life changes, and the journey of finding themselves again. Her debut book, Bringing Light to Loss, is a powerful reflection on grief, love, and the strength it takes to rebuild your life.

Once you know this, you change the game on what focusing is and then how to actually get back to focusing on what matters.  So we brought in Janel Penaflor to help us understand these intricacies.  Janel has spent thirty years investigating why trained, capable people stop seeing the thing right in front of them — inside oil and gas plants, nuclear facilities, aviation systems, and chemical operations. What she found changed how she understands focus entirely. In this episode, Janel joins Jon and Will to break down The real science behind focus, the lies have been told about focus and practices you can use every day to remain focused.IN THIS EPISODE, you will learn:1.  The focus lie: why trying harder to focus makes it worse2.  The prefrontal cortex as a battery — how it drains and what depletes it fastest3.  The polyvagal ladder: where most people are living and how to come back down4.  Why your body controls your brain more than your brain controls your body5.  The default mode network and why stillness is where the deepest work actually happensMore about Janel Penaflor:1.  Website: https://www.safetysenseinc.com2.  Books: Search “Janel Penaflor” on Amazon for her full catalog3.  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janel-penaflor-09654119/ Check out our Awareness-to-action Self Mastery COURSE & COMMUNITY:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

In 1989, Jean Napier-Hattingh hung mid-water off a reef 20km out from the Mozambique coast with a 1 metre speargun and shot a dogtooth tuna the same size as she was. It dragged her until her mask and snorkel came off. They had to cut it into four pieces to weigh it on a 20kg scale. It was 52 kilos — a men's world record she had no idea she'd broken, and a women's international bluewater record that still stands today. Jean spent a year in hospital as a seven-year-old being told she might not walk again, decided she'd live the most adventurous life on Earth, and has spent forty years backing that up: a 138kg marlin landed solo on a 1.2m gun with a rusty spear, a 26kg barracuda world record in Sierra Leone she also didn't know about, and a wrist full of silver bangles that accidentally invented the flasher. She talks about being laughed off boats in a sport that had no place for women, why patience beats strength on big fish, and how she hunts each game fish species differently.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Lion's Gate, Soul Timelines, and the Everyday Mirrors of Metaphysical Life Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany explore Lion's Gate energy, conscious manifesting, personal power, generational healing, parallel timelines, soul aspects, animal mirrors, QHHT, Soul Speak, and the everyday signs that reveal how deeply metaphysical life is woven into ordinary experience. The Metaphysical Hour Opens With Energy, Humor, and Global Connection This episode of The Metaphysical Hour, broadcast on August 7, 2026, opens with Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany welcoming viewers into a lively, playful, spiritually focused conversation. The hosts invite viewers to share where they are watching from, creating a sense of a global energetic grid lighting up around the world. Lion's Gate and the Power of Collective Focus The first major topic is the Lion's Gate portal, which Tracie describes as a major energetic gateway connected with manifesting, creating, and the 8/8 portal. She notes that she has posted a Lion's Gate journey on her website, Facebook, and YouTube for anyone who wants to use it. Julia and Tracie discuss the idea that while there may be astrological or energetic factors involved, much of the power comes from collective human focus. They emphasize that people are always creating through their thoughts, and the Lion's Gate simply offers a concentrated opportunity to focus on what is desired rather than on old patterns, worries, or “woe is me” energy. Viewers Around the World and a Portal-Like Sun Image Tiffany reads off viewer locations including Florida, Seattle, Arkansas, Australia, Quebec, Tasmania, San Antonio, Tucson, San Francisco, Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Kansas, Sweden, Arizona, North Dakota, Indiana, Michigan, Iceland, Scotland, Ohio, and more. The hosts respond by describing the audience as lights shining around the world, spreading outward in an expanded field. Tracie then shares a story about taking a selfie near a pond and later noticing that the sun in the photo looked like a portal with rainbow energy coming out of it. The image becomes an example of the episode's recurring theme: extraordinary signs may be happening around people even when their attention is elsewhere. Generational Healing, Personal Responsibility, and the Ripple Effect An audience question about a QHHT session leads Julia and Tracie into a deep discussion of generational and ancestral healing. The viewer explains that a practitioner asked the higher self to heal everything across all generations, but the higher self responded that each generation is responsible for its own healing. Julia emphasizes that the primary responsibility is to heal oneself, not to take on everyone else's lessons. Tracie adds that healing can occur across all time, space, dimensions, realities, timelines, and versions of a person, but both hosts stress discernment, free will, belief systems, and the idea that personal healing naturally ripples outward when appropriate. Free Will, Mirrors, and Stopping Patterns From Moving Forward Julia and Tracie further explain that people cannot take away the lessons another soul has chosen, whether that soul is living, ancestral, or in another dimension. They compare this to relationships and manifestation: one cannot force healing or outcomes for another person if that person is not ready. Tracie discusses the idea of volunteers or souls entering certain family lineages to stop patterns, such as abuse, from continuing forward. In that sense, the work is not about fixing everyone in the past, but about choosing differently now, becoming a healed example, and no longer passing a pattern forward through one's own life. Parallel Timelines, Soul Aspects, and the Infinite Self Another audience question asks whether, when someone dies in one timeline, they also die in other timelines. Julia answers no, explaining that other aspects of the soul may continue on their own trajectories, join another version, or return to the oversoul. Tracie shares a personal story about unexplained pain on her right side that she connected during a session to another aspect of herself, a teenage girl in a car accident who died in another timeline. Once the connection was seen and cleared, Tracie says the physical symptoms and a fear response connected to left turns disappeared. The hosts use this to discuss parallel lives, threads of the universe, soul tapestries, and the vastness of the oversoul. Awakening Abilities and the Gradual Opening of the Doors Julia reflects on spiritual abilities by recalling an image she received years earlier of two French doors barely cracked open, with only a small line of light coming through. At that time, she says, the opening represented the beginning of abilities coming in. Now, she feels the doors have opened more, though still gradually, because a sudden full opening would be overwhelming. The hosts discuss how people often want all their abilities at once, but spiritual expansion unfolds at a pace the soul has chosen. They remind listeners that people are not their experiences or emotions; they are souls having experiences. Everyday Metaphysics: Lawns, Deep Cleaning, and Animal Mirrors The episode becomes especially practical when Tracie describes watering a patchy lawn while preparing to move. She realizes the lawn may be mirroring something within her: green and lush around the edges but empty or ungrown in the middle. As she reflects, she connects the yard work to deep cleaning, purging, and examining hidden areas of her life. Julia explains that this is metaphysics in everyday life, not something separate or lofty. A later question about an aggressive cat leads the hosts to suggest that pets often mirror the energy of the person closest to them, especially unexpressed anger, frustration, agitation, or inner tension. QHHT, Soul Speak, Retreats, and Closing Love Near the end, Julia and Tracie direct listeners to several resources. Julia mentions QHHTOfficial.com for sessions, practitioner training, and an upcoming retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as SoulSpeakOfficial.com for understanding the language of the body and related metaphysical patterns. Tracie directs listeners to her website for the Lion's Gate journey and other information. Tiffany closes with the simple parting message, “Love one another,” and the hosts echo that message with affection, gratitude, and goodnight wishes to the audience.

A man walked into a room with a gun, a grievance, and nothing left to lose. The person who talked him down had spent 20 years learning one thing: the moment you make someone feel understood, the whole situation changes.Meet Derek Gaunt; he spent 29 years in law enforcement, 20 of those on hostage negotiation teams in the DC metro area. Now an instructor and expert coach at the Black Swan Group — Chris Voss's firm — Derek brings the same tactical empathy that resolved life-or-death standoffs into every boardroom, difficult conversation, and parenting moment he trains. He's the author of Ego Authority Failure and the newly released Fight Less, Win More — a practical companion to Never Split the Difference. In this episode, Derek joins Jon and Will to break down what tactical empathy really is, why your tone does 13 times more work than your words, and how to get more of what you want by getting people to say no.IN THIS EPISODE:1.  What tactical empathy actually is — and why 95% of people aren't getting it anywhere2.  No-oriented questions: why asking for no gets you more than pushing for yes3.  The three levels of listening — and which one most people are stuck in4.  The three voices: accommodator, late-night FM DJ, and the BISS voice to never use5.  The blue flame, ego authority failure, and why rapid promotion creates toxic leadersMore about Derek Gaunt:1.  Website: https://www.blackswanltd.com2.  Book: Ego, Authority, Failure: Using Emotional Intelligence Like a Hostage Negotiator to Succeed as a Leader (2nd Edition) — on Amazon and blackswanltd.com3.  Book: Fight Less, Win More: How Master Negotiators Influence Hearts, Minds, and Deals (co-authored with Jonathan B.

When Your Dream Job Becomes the Trigger: Long COVID, Vestibular Migraines, and a Real-Time Heal with Christian

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK When Christian developed chronic dizziness, vestibular migraines, fatigue, and post-exertional crashes after COVID, his life quickly became organized around fear. As a sports broadcaster, his symptoms were especially intense at work—the very place where his identity, ambition, and ability to provide for his growing family felt most vulnerable. After normal medical testing and months of searching for answers, Christian found Mind Your Body, began JournalSpeak, and started to recognize that his nervous system was capable of change. But when his symptoms didn't disappear as quickly as he hoped, a new fear took over: What if he couldn't heal unless he quit his job? What if he hadn't reached rock bottom yet? In this hybrid success story and Real-Time Heal, I help Christian understand why his symptoms attached themselves to work, achievement, and self-worth—and why recovery doesn't require abandoning his life or waiting for his body to collapse. With his first son on the way, Christian begins to see this experience not as the end of the life he planned, but as an opportunity to build the emotional strength he'll carry into fatherhood. We talk about predictive coding, symptom monitoring, fear of crashes, and the importance of meeting symptoms with safety rather than panic. Christian believes his story will have a happy ending. My answer is simple: It already does. XO n. More for you: THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BOOK SOON!!
