John Bowman, CEO of CAIA Association, returns to Alternative Allocations to discuss the ideas behind his groundbreaking report, "The World Rewired", and what they mean for the future of investing. Tony and John explore how AI is reshaping investment firms, how private markets are becoming increasingly accessible to individual investors, and what the rise of evergreen funds, tokenization, and the growing opportunity for private markets in retirement portfolios means for advisors and clients alike. They also examine the increasing convergence of public and private markets, the changing role of investor education, and why systems thinking—not just technical expertise—will define the next generation of investment professionals. John was appointed CEO for the CAIA Association in January 2025. He has devoted 30 years to the asset management industry to recover the narrative of the value that the investment profession brings to society. He is a staunch public advocate for market integrity, long-termism, investor outcomes, diversity, human dignity and educational standards, as necessary ingredients to building a sustainable and healthy profession. John previously served as Managing Director for the Americas for CFA Institute, a region comprised of 40+ countries from Canada, the U.S., Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Before that, John was a portfolio manager for non-US equity strategies at both Boston Company and SSgA for several years. John is a prolific, speaker, writer and commentator, frequently keynoting industry conferences and appearing in investment and business publications such as the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Pension and Investments, Financial Advisor, The Independent, Wealthmanagement.com and CNBC.

Lindsey Weigle has spent twelve years helping business owners navigate transition, and she recently took her own advice by narrowing Blue Water Advisory down to one thing instead of trying to be everything to everybody. In this conversation she shares the monthly reflection practice she's run for four years, why our brains sabotage big goals before we even start, and the zero-based approach she now uses for her business and her calendar. We also get into what happens when you outsource your thinking to a machine and why she's not in a hurry to do it. Key Takeaways Saying a goal out loud gives your body the same chemical hit as accomplishing it, which is exactly why declarations feel great and rarely stick Your business, health, and personal life all pull from the same time budget, so reviewing them separately guarantees you'll keep ping-ponging between crises Willpower works like a tank you can actually grow, and small consistent changes are what expand it Reflection on your own hits a ceiling fast, you need someone who knows you well enough to push back on what you're telling yourself About Lindsey Weigle Lindsey Weigle is an executive coach and co-founder of Blue Water Advisory, a leadership development and succession consulting firm. With a focus on training, executive coaching, and organizational growth, Lindsey helps business owners and leaders stop managing the life they have and start creating the life they want. She has a gift for asking the right questions — helping clients uncover the problems they can't yet see and find the clarity to move forward with confidence.

I don't like it over here, I don't like it over here, as opposed to taking a step back and saying, do I like my patio furniture?" — Lindsey Weigle "We never say I'm going to drink more water, we say I'm going to lose ten pounds. We never say I'm going to start journaling every day, we say I'm going to write a book." — Lindsey Weigle "If what I was doing was going to get me there, it would have by now." — Lindsey Weigle "We need to ensure we are not outsourcing our critical thinking to machines." — Lindsey Weigle "You create the destiny you lean towards." — Lindsey Weigle Guest Links Follow Lindsey Weigle on LinkedIn Links Find out more about the Studio Sherpas Mastermind Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Join us on Onward Summit Join the Studio Sherpas newsletter
Your brain is remarkably resilient—but modern life doesn't always make protecting it easy. In Brain Defenders, neurologist David Perlmutter explains how the brain's immune cells can either preserve cognitive health or contribute to decline—and how everyday choices can influence that balance. Then, in Rewired, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Carl Marci explores what smartphones, social media, and nonstop stimulation are doing to our attention, relationships, and emotional well-being.
You consciously know what you should do, but your body keeps stopping you. Why? What if your anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, and limiting beliefs aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but signals that your nervous system doesn't feel safe? Jessica Ortner, co-founder of The Tapping Solution and co-author of Rewired, is here to explore the science and practice of EFT tapping and how regulating the nervous system may help change the way we respond to stress. Jessica breaks down why we can't always think our way out of anxiety, how tapping combines psychological principles with stimulation of acupressure points, and research examining its effects on cortisol, PTSD, food cravings, and emotional distress. We also explore why self-sabotage may actually be "misguided self-love," the difference between resilience and simply forcing yourself through discomfort, why self-criticism eventually stops working, how parents can help children regulate big emotions, and why our modern information environment may keep our bodies chronically overstimulated. Most importantly, Jessica explains how creating a sense of safety in the body can give us the freedom to make better decisions, face fear, and keep moving forward.

Play No Games is a space for real conversations and perspective. Each episode blends authenticity and insight creating room for laughter, clarity, and growth as we unpack what's happening in culture and in ourselves._____________________________
Step into a deeply insightful, expansive, woman-to woman conversation with Melissa Nanavati, TEDx speaker, dating and relationship coach for high performers, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Melissa's work bridges neuroscience, attachment theory, behavioral psychology, and lived experience to help ambitious individuals create thriving relationships without sacrificing their biggest goals and dreams. With warmth, intelligence, and refreshing honesty, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her work — from navigating anxious attachment and enduring more than 100 first dates, to ultimately finding the extraordinary partnership she once wondered if she would ever experience. Melissa opens up about reaching a point in her dating journey where discouragement could have easily become cynicism. Instead, she transformed every date into an opportunity for growth, using each interaction to develop communication skills, deepen self-awareness, and clarify the values that truly mattered most in a life partner. What began as a search for love became a journey of becoming the person capable of receiving it. The conversation moves into the neuroscience of attachment, emotional regulation, and the hidden fears that shape our relationships long before we realize they are there. Melissa vulnerably shares how anxious attachment and a deep fear of abandonment continued to influence her relationships until she encountered a transformative neurofeedback experience through 40 Years of Zen. During an intensive retreat working directly with brainwave states and neuroplasticity, Melissa experienced a profound vision of the life and partnership she desired. That experience inspired her to leave behind the familiar, trust an intuitive knowing she could not explain, and move across the country to a city she felt inexplicably called toward. Within weeks of arriving, she met the man who would become her husband. Together, Allana and Melissa explore the beautiful intersection between science and intuition, action and surrender, strategy and serendipity. They discuss the reality that manifestation is not passive wishing, but a partnership between inner alignment and courageous action. The conversation also dives deeply into the difference between chemistry and compatibility, challenging the common belief that love should feel immediate and explosive from the beginning. Melissa shares how the relationship with her husband developed not through instant sparks, but through shared values, emotional safety, vulnerability, and intentional connection. Sometimes the healthiest love stories do not begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with trust. She introduces the concept of the four forms of relational courage: The courage to be vulnerable. The courage to ask for what you need. The courage to ask what your partner needs. And the courage to bring difficult conversations into the light. The conversation beautifully explores how unresolved fears often hide beneath conflict, and how learning to identify the emotions we are avoiding can transform our relationships from places of protection into places of connection. Melissa also shares the communication frameworks she and her husband use to maintain emotional safety, resolve conflict quickly, and prevent resentment from accumulating over time. Their commitment to never allowing issues to fester has become one of the foundations of their thriving partnership. Together, Allana and Melissa discuss how love is less about finding the perfect person and more about creating intentional rituals, emotional safety, curiosity, play, and repair. We also talk about: The neuroscience of love and connection The role of neuroplasticity in relational healing 40 Years of Zen and transformational brain training The balance between intuition and strategy in dating Why chemistry can sometimes be misleading How values predict long-term compatibility Dating as a skill-building process rather than a judgment process How to communicate needs effectively Building emotional safety in relationships Repairing conflict before resentment grows The power of rituals, play, and curiosity in long-term partnerships Receiving feedback without defensiveness This episode is a reminder that healthy love is not something we stumble into accidentally. It is something we build intentionally through courage, communication, vulnerability, and presence. Love is not the absence of hard conversations. Love is creating the safety to have them. And sometimes the relationship you are searching for begins not with finding the right person, but by becoming the version of yourself who no longer abandons your own needs, values, and truth.

About Melissa: Melissa Nanavati is a TEDx speaker and dating & relationship coach for high performers. Her work integrates neuroscience, biology, and lived experience to help driven individuals build thriving relationships, while pursuing big goals. After struggling with anxious attachment and going on over 100 first dates before meeting her husband, Melissa became deeply committed to studying the neuroscience of connection. In their first year of marriage, she and her husband raised $1.1 million while building a thriving partnership and running two businesses. Melissa translates this research and real-world experience into practical, science-backed frameworks to help high achievers navigate hard conversations, eliminate energy leaks at home, and build secure, resilient relationships. With over 15 years of experience working closely with executives and speaking on stages, she is known for turning complex science into actionable practices that create lasting change. She holds an MBA with a specialization in negotiation, grounding her work in both relational science and strategic communication.

We're excited to share a special feed drop from The a16z Crypto Show. In the first episode of First Principles: The Scientific Roots of Blockchain Technology, Tim Roughgarden and Ittai Abraham trace the decades of computer science research that laid the foundation for modern blockchains. Long before Bitcoin, researchers were studying one of distributed computing's hardest challenges: how independent machines can reliably agree on a shared state, even when some participants are faulty or malicious. Bitcoin didn't invent that problem, but it introduced a breakthrough solution in a radically different, permissionless setting. The conversation explores Byzantine agreement, state machine replication, proof of work, proof of stake, Tendermint, Casper, DAG-based protocols, and why concepts developed decades ago continue to shape the design of today's fastest and most secure blockchain networks.

Audra tells her story about how she finally knew it was time to leave the church, her journey with that and her husband and children and how becoming a neuroscience-based coach helped not only how she was able to rewire her trauma but how she's able to help so many moms who have left the church as well as any woman who has felt stuck in her life wondering how to get out.

Monday a Full Moon lights up everything you've built. Tuesday Jupiter comes home into Leo for a year. And underneath both, Mercury turns retrograde - so this is THE CROSSING: the week you walk through the door, and choose what you carry across and what you leave behind. Here's how to use it. This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky instead of being run by it: every transit turned into something you actually do, in your calendar, your money, your decisions. This week covers Monday 29th June through Sunday 5th July: Why a threshold week is crossed by what you refuse to carry, not by moving faster Monday's full-light audit - holding one built thing up against who you are now (Full Moon in Capricorn) Tuesday's real instruction as Jupiter enters Leo - not "be visible," but where the year actually rewards you Thursday's worth-move (Jupiter square Chiron) - and why the voice that says "who am I to charge that" was installed, not authored Why Saturday's rest is the instruction, and the spark you capture but don't act on Your elemental department briefing - what Fire, Earth, Air and Water each need this week The World, and the threshold already crossed Next week the chapter turns into THE RETURN - the July arc home to the true version of yourself before the year lets you be fully seen for it. The full chapter opener drops Thursday. This is chart-based business architecture - your actual birth chart turned into how you actually run. Reading tells you what's there. Architecture builds something with it.
Your business keeps wobbling at the same points every year. Some months feel like wading through treacle while others feel effortless, and the strategies that work for everyone else don't quite land for you - and you've started to suspect there's a real reason for it. This episode is about the next two weeks, and why they're the most useful window you'll get all year. We're at the exact midpoint - the hinge - and what you do in the run-up now sets up the entire back half of your year. So this is the operating plan: not how the next fortnight will make you feel, but what to actually do with it, in your business, starting Monday 29th June. We walk it as one single movement: a chapter closing, a door opening, and a checkpoint and a pause built into the doorway between. A mid-year audit of what you've actually built versus what's only standing because you're holding it up. A review window before you charge into the back half. And a door you don't lunge at - you get ready for. Plus the part nobody's talking about: why stepping toward being more visible knocks your confidence right when you least expect it, and what to do when it does. If you've built something real and you're tired of hard seasons meaning you've failed, this is the one that explains what's actually going on - and what to build instead. Constellation Studio is open now for its founding cohort, starting Monday 29th June, with doors closing on the 30th.

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
How many times have you understood exactly why you do something and still couldn't stop doing it?Jessica Ortner breaks down why self-knowledge alone can't override a nervous system in survival mode, and why the missing piece isn't more willpower or better habits. It's safety. This conversation goes beyond the usual tapping explainer into the actual neuroscience of why your body keeps running patterns your mind has already rejected.What you'll learn:Why understanding your patterns doesn't stop themHow tapping sends a biological signal of safety your nervous system actually responds toWhy self-sabotage is misguided self-love, not a character flawJessica Ortner is co-founder of The Tapping Solution and co-author of Rewired, the most research-backed book on EFT tapping to date.

Bitcoin often gets credited with inventing trustless consensus. It didn't. The problem was named decades earlier — in the world of distributed computing — and researchers spent years studying how machines could reach agreement even when some participants were faulty, adversarial, or corrupt. What Bitcoin did was something different: It solved a classic Byzantine agreement problem in a radically new, permissionless setting. And it took the research world years to fully recognize what Satoshi had done. In this episode of First Principles, a16z crypto Head of Research and Columbia professor Tim Roughgarden is joined by a16z crypto research partner Ittai Abraham — one of the world's leading researchers in Byzantine agreement and consensus protocols, a founding member of VMware's blockchain project, and founder of the technical blog Decentralized Thoughts — to unpack the scientific roots of blockchain consensus. Together, Tim and Ittai trace the line from classic distributed systems research to Bitcoin, proof-of-stake, Tendermint, Casper, DAG-based protocols, Solana's Alpenglow, and the modern race for higher throughput and lower latency. Along the way, they explain why concepts like Byzantine fault tolerance, state machine replication, safety, liveness, and partial synchrony are not just academic abstractions — they are the language and design principles behind today's blockchain protocols. This conversation kicks off First Principles: The Scientific Roots of Blockchain Technology — a special, limited series from a16z crypto on the scientific ideas behind modern computing — especially blockchains — told through conversations with the pioneers who helped create them, including Barbara Liskov, Leslie Lamport, and more. Hosted by Tim Roughgarden, the series explores the foundational concepts behind distributed systems and consensus protocols; economics, mechanism and market design; and cryptography, from digital signatures to zero knowledge. People often tell the story of the Bitcoin whitepaper as if it appeared out of nowhere. But the ideas behind Bitcoin — and behind blockchains more broadly — come from decades of computer science, economics, mathematics, and cryptography. First Principles is a guide to that lineage, told by the people who helped build it.

The Solstice turns the year, Cancer season begins - and you've got one quiet week before the sky cracks wide open. This is THE APPROACH: the held breath before the expansion. Here's how to use it. This isn't a horoscope. It's a weekly operating brief for founders who run their week with the sky instead of being run by it: every transit turned into something you actually do, in your calendar, your money, your decisions. This week covers Monday 22nd through Sunday 28th of June: Why a quiet week before a loud one is the most strategically important week of the month The six-line foundation audit to run on Monday, as Cancer season begins Thursday's worth-setting window (Venus trine Saturn) - and the inherited doubt that arrives the same day to talk you out of using it How to make one worth decision concrete, in the morning, before the fog Why Saturday's rest is the instruction, not the gap Your elemental department briefing - what Fire, Earth, Air and Water each need this week The Page of Wands, and the spark right before the fire Next week, the chapter turns - a Full Moon, a retrograde, and the biggest expansion transit of the year, all inside forty-eight hours. Everything you anchor this week is what that expansion gets to grow. We'll walk through all of it in next week's chapter opener. This is chart-based business architecture - your actual birthchart turned into how you actually run. Reading tells you what's there. Architecture builds something with it.
Recovery Rewired: Why Knowing Better Isn't Enough Episode 3: Recovery Is Repetition Creating From the Future Instead of the Past This week we conclude our three-part Recovery Rewired series with perhaps the most important question of all: If I understand my patterns and I can see what's happening, how do I actually change? The answer is surprisingly simple: Recovery is repetition. Not perfection. Not willpower. Not motivation. Repetition. In this episode, Lynette explores how the brain rewires itself through small repeated actions, and why lasting sobriety is built one choice, one breath, one pause, and one day at a time. Following the continuing story of “May,” we discover that awareness alone isn't enough. Real transformation begins when we consistently practice new responses to old triggers. Through neuroscience, practical recovery tools, and real-life examples, Lynette explains how confidence is built through evidence, how the brain's Reticular Activating System (RAS) shapes what we notice, and why the tiny decisions we repeat each day ultimately create our future. In This Episode Why recovery is a practice, not a single decision The difference between understanding a pattern and rewiring a pattern How neuroplasticity changes the brain through repetition What the Reticular Activating System (RAS) is and why it matters in recovery Why confidence comes after action, not before it How urge surfing teaches the brain that cravings are survivable What it means to change a habit by 10% Why community, accountability, and connection accelerate recovery How small daily actions create a new identity May's Recovery Journey When May joined Tribe Sober, she wasn't thinking about ninety days sober. She wasn't trying to figure out how she would stay sober forever. She was focused on the next craving. The next Friday. The next difficult moment. Instead of trying to change everything overnight, May began taking the next best step. She joined Zoom meetings. She connected with others in recovery. She posted in the WhatsApp group. She learned urge surfing. She experimented with breathwork. She listened to podcasts while walking. She reached out instead of isolating. Most importantly, she stopped trying to win forever and focused on one decision at a time. Today, May is ninety days sober. Not because of one dramatic breakthrough. But because of hundreds of tiny choices repeated over time. Key Takeaways Recovery is not about becoming someone different; it's about becoming who you were always capable of being. The brain changes through repetition, not information. Confidence grows from evidence, not positive thinking. Every urge survived becomes proof that you can trust yourself. The brain pays attention to what you repeatedly focus on. Small changes repeated consistently create lasting transformation. Community provides new evidence that change is possible. Memorable Quotes from this Episode “The brain changes because you repeatedly practice something new.” “Confidence is not created through positive thinking. Confidence is created through evidence.” “An urge is not an emergency.” “Where attention goes, wiring grows.” “Recovery isn't one big decision. Recovery is thousands of small decisions repeated long enough that the brain starts predicting a different future.” “The brain predicts from the past. Recovery asks us to create from the future.” Reflection for the Week Choose one thing. Just one. One thought. One habit. One reaction. One daily ritual. And change it by 10%. Not dramatically. Not perfectly. Just intentionally. Ask yourself: What is one small interruption I can make to an old pattern? What is one piece of evidence I can create today? What is the next best step available to me right now? Remember: You don't need to figure out forever. You only need to take the next step.

What if the reason your business feels so much harder than it "should" - the flat months, the drained Wednesdays, the strategies that work for everyone but you - has nothing to do with your discipline, your focus, or how much you want it? What if you've just been handed the wrong manual? In this episode, I take you through one client's entire 2026 so far - anonymised, but every detail real. She started in the red: foggy, exhausted, doubling her prices on someone else's advice, certain she was the problem. By June she'd taken two guilt-free holidays and built a business that runs without her. And here's the part that matters: she didn't do it by working harder. Every single shift happened the moment she stopped pushing. Because the thing that was broken was never her effort. It was the instructions she was running on. You have a way you're built to earn, to grow, to rest, to lead - as specific as a fingerprint. Almost nobody is running on theirs. They're running on a manual handed down by a coach built nothing like them, and then blaming themselves when it doesn't fit. This episode is about what happens when you finally read your own. This is chart-based business architecture - your birth chart read as an operating system for how you actually run a business. Not horoscopes. Not how you'll feel on Tuesday. The actual instructions: how you're built to lead, sell, decide, and earn. If something in this lands - that quiet "oh, that's me" - that's not random. That's the part of you that already knows it's been running the wrong manual.
Our guest today is Laura Burkhauser, CEO of Descript, the video editor that's been AI-native long before “AI-native” was something you put in a pitch deck. Laura's route to the CEO seat started as a customer. She loved the product enough to knock on founder Andrew Mason's door and ask to work on it. She joined to lead product, but only three years later she's succeeded the well-known founder and is running the company. Today, Laura is here to talk about both sides of that journey: finding peers and mentors when you're suddenly the most senior person in any room, and driving AI adoption across an org already known for AI in its product. In this episode, Laura shares: Her "tech acceptance framework" — the 4 stages from outright hostility to "rewired" — and how to figure out where YOUR team actually sits Why telling IC PMs that AI means 2x productivity just sounds like they're doing twice the work — and her “find the dream” reframe that actually gets real buy-in How Laura built Descript's AI philosophy around one principle: "Struggle with your art, not with your tools" and why she doesn't want anyone one-shotting their videos Plus the trap most companies are falling into right now: AI systems that walk out the door when the person who built them leaves, and how to make progress durable across your org Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/burkhauser/ Descript: https://www.descript.com/ Resources What Got You Here Won't Get You There: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-got-you-here-wont-get-you-there-marshall-goldsmith/1112274786 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:07: Laura's career journey: From fashion startups to finding her path to product 03:26: The "what got you here won't get you there" moment 4:05: Finding peers and mentors when you're the most senior person in the room 12:06: "Struggle with your art, not with your tools" — Descript's AI philosophy 15:04: AI as a derivative technology and the democratization of creativity 17:59: The tech acceptance framework: From hostile to rewired 18:50: Running AI hackathons and reimagining company systems 22:40: Pitfalls of AI adoption: Cost, durability, and automating broken systems 24:42: The two-by-two framework for getting your team AI-pilled 27:49: Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a YouTube page!

Send us Fan MailI used to have ABSOLUTELY ZERO empathy for the MAGA movement. As a gay man living in a deep-red Southern state and a survivor of a brutal hate crime, my anger wasn't just justified—it was a survival mechanism. But recently, everything shifted.In this raw, unfiltered mini-episode of Surviving Politics-ish, I'm stepping back from the terrifying realities of #Project2025 to look at how we actually fight back. For years, my voice was fueled by pure contempt for anyone wearing a red hat. Then, two incredible podcasts completely rewired my approach, and we need to talk about them.First, IHIP News (from the brilliant minds behind the I've Had It podcast) validated my rage. They reminded me why we have to "go for the jugular" when it comes to the architects of this movement. But the real game-changer was A Necessary Conversation. Watching liberal siblings debate their MAGA parents—and seeing real signs of breakthrough after a family healthcare crisis—exposed the deep, psychological dynamics of cult indoctrination.Can you hold two truths at once? Can you demand ruthless accountability for political leaders while maintaining empathy-with-boundaries for the voters caught in the crossfire?Listen in as we break down why exposing policies with facts matters now more than ever, and why you need to add #IveHadIt and #ANecessaryConversation to your playlist immediately.Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation.#Project2025 #IveHadIt #ANecessaryConversation #IHIPNews #SurvivingPoliticsIsh #TrueStories #PoliticalPsychology #EmpathyWithBoundaries #Accountability #PodcastRecommendations #LGBTQVoicesSupport the show
Recovery Rewired: Why Knowing Better is not Enough Episode 2: The Theatre of Surprise Why we keep repeating what we already know In this second episode of the Recovery Rewired series, Lynette explores one of the most powerful concepts in recovery, emotional growth, and self-awareness: The Theatre of Surprise. How often have you found yourself saying: “I can't believe I drank again.” “I can't believe they did that.” “I can't believe I'm still struggling with this.” “I can't believe this keeps happening.” But what if the problem isn't the pattern? What if the problem is pretending we're surprised by a pattern we've seen many times before? Drawing on the teachings of neuro-psychologist Dr Julia DiGangi, Lynette explores how the brain's role as a pattern detector can keep us trapped in cycles of frustration, disappointment, and resistance to reality. Through the continuing story of “May,” we discover how recognising familiar patterns is not a sign of failure—it's the beginning of freedom. Because recovery isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming honest enough to see what is already true. In This Episode What Dr. Julia DiGangi means by “The Theatre of Surprise” Why the brain is constantly looking for familiar patterns The difference between surprise and resistance How we create suffering when we argue with reality Why cravings, triggers, and emotional reactions are often predictable The role of emotional adulthood in lasting recovery How accepting reality creates the space for change Why honesty is the foundation of personal power Key Takeaways The brain is a pattern detector—it notices repetition and predicts what comes next. Many of the things we say we're surprised by are actually familiar patterns. Resistance often disguises itself as surprise. Emotional growth begins when we stop arguing with reality. The craving is not the problem; our resistance to the craving is often what creates suffering. Honesty is not punishment—it is freedom. We don't become free when the pattern disappears; we become free when we stop pretending we can't see it. Reflection for the Week Take a few moments to reflect on the following questions: Where am I pretending to be surprised when it's really no surprise at all? What pattern have I been seeing for months—or even years? What truth have I been resisting? What disappointment, grief, or longing might be sitting underneath my frustration? And perhaps most importantly: What changes when I stop saying, “I can't believe this is happening,” and start saying, “Ah, there it is again.” Memorable Quotes from this Episode “The Theatre of Surprise is when we pretend we don't know what we already know.” “The pattern isn't the problem. Pretending we're surprised by it keeps us stuck.” “The moment we stop fighting reality, we gain the power to work with it.” “Honesty is not punishment. Honesty is freedom.” “We don't become free when the pattern disappears. We become free when we stop pretending we can't see it.” Coming Next Week Recovery Rewired – Episode 3 Recovery Is Repetition In the final episode of the series, Lynette explores how real change happens. Not through willpower. Not through motivation. Not through perfection. But through repetition. Learn how the brain builds new pathways, how confidence grows through evidence, and how sobriety becomes stronger one small choice at a time.

Most founders hit the middle of the year, panic that not enough has happened, and set the back half up exactly the way they set up the first - on a manual that was never built for them. In this episode I share what I noticed going back through a year of client work: completely different women, completely different businesses, all landing in the same place. Not because they were failing - most of them were doing really well - but because the way they were running their businesses didn't fit how they were actually built. I break down the simple three-part way to look at your whole business, why your birth chart is the missing piece that shows you how you specifically are designed to run each part, and three things you can do this week to set the rest of your year up around your real wiring instead of someone else's rules. If you've ever felt like the strategies that work for everyone else don't quite work for you - this one's for you. Plus: details of my free workshop, Your Business, Rewired, on 17 June, where I'll map the rest of your year with you. (This episode touches on business astrology and chart-based strategy from a practical, operational angle - no experience needed).

Episode 1: Why the Brain Chooses Alcohol Why do intelligent, capable people continue to struggle with alcohol even when they know exactly where it leads? In the first episode of our new three-part Recovery Rewired series, Lynette explores a powerful truth: The brain is not choosing alcohol because it is weak. The brain is choosing alcohol because it is predicting. Drawing on neuroscience, recovery coaching, and real-life experience, Lynette explains how the brain learns to associate alcohol with relief, comfort, certainty, and reward—and why understanding these patterns can reduce shame and increase self-compassion. Through the story of “May,” a woman navigating a vulnerable transition in her day, Lynette illustrates how the brain automatically offers familiar solutions to familiar situations. The breakthrough wasn't that May didn't drink. The breakthrough was that she paused long enough to notice the pattern. This episode explores: Why the brain is a prediction-making machine The difference between familiar and safe How alcohol becomes associated with relief and certainty Why cravings are information, not failure The role of curiosity in rewiring the recovery brain How small pauses create powerful change Why recovery is about teaching the brain that you are safe without alcohol Key Takeaways The brain predicts the future based on past experience. Familiar does not always mean safe. Alcohol is often a learned solution to discomfort, uncertainty, loneliness, stress, or transition. A craving is not a command—it is information. The brain is rarely asking for alcohol; it is often asking for a change in state. Recovery begins when we pause long enough to notice the pattern. Every sober choice teaches the brain a new possibility. Reflection for the Week This week, become a curious observer of your own mind. When thoughts of drinking arise, ask yourself: What happened immediately before this thought? What feeling am I experiencing? What prediction is my brain making right now? What change in state am I hoping alcohol will provide? Notice your patterns without judgment. Remember: The thought is not the problem. The craving is not the problem. The urge is not the command. Often the story isn't: “I need alcohol.” The story is: “I want to feel different.” And recovery is the process of discovering new ways to meet that need. Coming Next Week Recovery Rewired – Episode 2 The Theatre of Surprise Why do we keep acting shocked by patterns we've seen hundreds of times before? Next week we'll explore Dr. Julia DiGangi's powerful concept of the Theatre of Surprise and how recognising our recurring patterns is one of the most important steps in emotional adulthood and lasting recovery.

In this episode of Live Well, Earn Well, guest host Donna Lynn Price sits down with Sebastian Koellner, high-performance coach (aka Chief MindSetter), to unpack what it really means to go from "accidental leader" to conscious, confident leadership. Sebastian works with founders, executives, and fast-growing teams who were promoted because they were great at the work… and then discovered that leadership isn't earned — it's learned. Together, Donna and Sebastian explore why delegation breaks down, why feedback feels so uncomfortable, and how internal stories about rejection and conflict quietly shape leadership behavior. You'll also hear practical tools you can use immediately — including Sebastian's simple approach for giving feedback, and his three-part "rewiring" framework that helps leaders shift from pressure and perfectionism into calm, clarity, and ownership. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "accidental leadership" happens (and how it shows up in delegation and communication) The real reason leaders avoid feedback conversations — and how to move through it How to build trust with 5–7x more positive feedback before developmental feedback A simple structure for hard conversations: SBI (Situation–Behavior–Impact + Request) The "rewiring triangle": Physiology, Focus, and Language How shifting from "I should" to "I choose / I get to / I commit to" changes your leadership energy Connect with Sebastian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiefmindsetter Download Terri Levine's Life-First Business Book: https://book.terrilevine.com If this conversation resonates—especially around leadership pressure, delegation, or leading without losing yourself—this episode will give you both insight and a path forward.

The average American child now spends 50 hours a week on a screen. Only 31% of them still believe in God — compared to 68% of their grandparents. And the average boy is first exposed to pornography at age 12. What's happening inside their developing brains while we look away? Lance Wallnau sits down with Brent Dusing, founder of TruPlay Games, to expose what Big Tech is putting in front of your kids — and what it's quietly blocking from reaching them. Are kids' brains being rewired through their screens? In this episode: * The 50-hour-a-week screen-time number every parent and grandparent needs to know * Why only 31% of kids today still believe in God — down from 68% in their grandparents' generation * The cartoon image of Jesus that Google labeled "too violent" for children — while approving Diablo, Roblox blood pentagrams, and a game that recreated the Uvalde school shooting * The age the average boy is first exposed to pornography — and what it's doing to a still-developing brain * How a faith-based kids' gaming platform was banned from advertising on Google and TikTok for over a year — and the quiet shift that just started happening * The link between record-high childhood anxiety, depression, and suicide rates and the rise of the smartphone * Plus: the UK political collapse, the leaked Hakeem Jeffries call, and the Supreme Court ruling that just quietly rewrote the 2026 midterms If you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or teacher — this is one of the most important conversations on the show this year. These numbers aren't opinion. They're happening to your kids right now. Podcast Episode 2119: Are Kids Brains Getting Rewired Through Their Screens? | don't miss this!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to think your way out of, this episode gives you a tool you can actually use in the moment.

This isn't just a conversation—you'll have the opportunity to follow along and feel the shift in real time.
