Heather Parady is a mental health therapist turned creative strategist, storyteller, and online entrepreneur who has conducted over a thousand interviews and built a powerful platform helping unconventional leaders amplify their voices. In this deeply personal conversation, Heather and Travis unpack the connection between money, religion, mindset, identity, and self-belief — and how overcoming internal limitations is often the real key to building wealth and freedom. On this episode we talk about: How religion and childhood conditioning shaped Heather's beliefs around money The subconscious ways people sabotage their own financial success Why healing work and mindset shifts are often just as important as business strategy The connection between endurance training, resilience, and entrepreneurship How storytelling and authenticity help creators build meaningful brands online Top 3 Takeaways Financial growth often requires unlearning deep-rooted beliefs about worthiness, guilt, and success. Hope and optimism are powerful drivers of action, especially when there's no evidence yet that success is guaranteed. The things that make you different — your story, quirks, background, and perspective — are often your greatest strengths in business and content creation. Notable Quotes “If you don't have at least one thing you're embarrassed about in your story, you probably haven't tried enough things.” “The tactical stuff isn't always the fix.” “The weird, quirky little bit about you that you're probably embarrassed about is the thing that's going to connect people to you.” Connect with Heather Parady: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherparady Other: https://heatherparady.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

That voice inside your head — the one that's been with you your whole life — whose voice is it, really? In this crackle-with-electricity episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar venture into the invisible architecture that shapes everything: the stories, spells, and self-curses that were handed to us long before we were old enough to question them. And the radical, liberating truth at the heart of this conversation? Most of what you believe about yourself — what you deserve, what's possible for you, who you are — was never really yours to begin with. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, ancestral healing, and the kind of practical spiritual clarity that actually moves things, Mary and Dawn unpack what a spell really is: words repeated so many times, and absorbed so deeply, that they stop being descriptions and become declarations. You're too sensitive. Women like us don't do things like that. I'm not enough. I'm too much. Said by others first, then handed off to the inner critic to carry forward — becoming load-bearing walls in the architecture of identity. They go further, tracing how these spells travel through generational lineage, how the very calendar we live inside was designed as an instrument of power, and why some of the most binding stories we carry were never about us at all — they were just the pan that was too short for the loaf. And then, with characteristic warmth and no-nonsense shamanic wisdom, they offer a way out: a five-minute fire ceremony ritual — something your nervous system can actually feel — to name the spell, speak it aloud, release it to the elements, and plant one true sentence of a new story in its place. This week's SoulFire Spark: Write down one story that has been binding you. Speak these words out loud: "This was never mine to carry. I release it now. I choose a new story." Then burn it, bury it, dissolve it. Give it back to the earth. And write one sentence — just one — of who you actually are. Your story was never finished. It was just waiting for you to pick up the pen.   Dr. Mary Newstrom's website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

What does it really take to move from surviving life to intentionally shaping it? In this powerful episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Dr. Andrea Hogan—psychology professor, speaker, and “The Golfing Professor”—to explore how we bridge the gap between what we know and how we actually live. Drawing from both her professional expertise and deeply personal experiences, Andrea shares how alignment between thoughts, feelings, and actions becomes the foundation for real transformation. From navigating trauma and identity loss to rebuilding self-worth and setting healthy boundaries, this conversation is honest, practical, and empowering. In this episode, you'll learn: • How to recognize when you're in survival mode vs. growth mode • The power of “name it to tame it” for emotional awareness and change • Simple, actionable steps to regulate emotions and make better decisions • Why mental fitness is just as important as physical health • How small, consistent actions can help you rewrite your story Andrea also shares how unexpected tools—like golf—can become powerful metaphors for resilience, mindset, and personal growth.

"The corporate world told me loud and clear I was of no value to them anymore. End of story. I had to let the man hiding inside out because we had a job to do." —David NassiefAt age 63, David Nassief was handed a cardboard box and told his corporate career was over. Standing on a sidewalk with a bank account whispering failure, he faced a choice: succumb to the frequency of fear or lean into the C♡♡Lness of God's provision. David chose to build. What followed was a Spiritually BRAVE six-year sprint that took him from that sidewalk to a seven-figure legacy by age 69.This isn't just a conversation about money; it's a practical path for anyone sitting in a "middle space." David joins me to pull the curtain back on the "Monday-morning" logic that allowed him to shed the corporate straightjacket and start presiding over his divine calling. We discuss why simplicity is for winners, how to stop walking in circles, and how to build in hope even when your runway looks like a helicopter pad.Episode Takeaways Shedding the Corporate Straightjacket: Understand how to separate your identity from your title. David shares his "rock bottom" moment in a grocery store and how it led to a deeper discovery of who Jesus says I AM. The Frequency of Provision: Learn why complexity is often a "phishing scam" for your peace. We discuss the One-Page Wealth Compass—a radical, simple strategy that creates a sanctuary for inspiration. The Theology of the Sprint: David distinguishes between "striving in the flesh" and "sprinting in Sonship." Discover how to pray like everything depends on God and work like everything depends on you. The Rule of 72 & Supernatural Math: A look at how David doubled his portfolio value three times in six years by ignoring the "noise" and focusing on Kingdom-aligned stewardship.  Figma over Fire: Moving from "Financial Independence, Retire Early" to "Financial Independence, Graduate to next Adventure." Learn why your greatest breakthrough often follows the world's attempt to discard you.

Together they unpack the tension between wanting connection and avoiding vulnerability, how childhood experiences shape present-day behavior, and why many of the narratives we believe about ourselves aren't actually ours to carry.

On Episode 328 of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with Matilde Hernandez, a wellness consultant, author and speaker whose life was transformed by incarceration and the long journey that followed. Hernandez shares how a first-time case in Georgia led to a prison sentence she says she did not fully understand, and how the experience forced her to confront trauma, shame and the challenge of rebuilding her life after release. In a deeply personal conversation, Hernandez explains that incarceration is not only a physical place but also a mindset that can continue long after someone returns home. She describes the emotional toll of separation from her children, the burden of self-doubt and the years it took to truly forgive herself. Her story highlights the hidden barriers many formerly incarcerated people face, including stigma, housing insecurity, employment discrimination and untreated mental health struggles. The discussion also centers on resilience and purpose. Hernandez talks about writing her book, Beyond These Walls, and the message behind its title: the internal walls people build out of shame, fear and pain can be dismantled. She reflects on how mentorship, therapy and faith helped her move forward, and why healing often begins when people believe they are still worthy of growth and opportunity. Now nearing completion of her doctoral program, Hernandez is focused on helping justice-impacted youth build stable futures through mentorship, life skills and guidance. Episode 328 is both an inspiring personal testimony and a broader conversation about what true reentry should look like when society chooses restoration over punishment. It is a powerful reminder that people are more than the worst thing that has happened to them—and that every story can be rewritten.

In this Walk With Me solo episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal shift in how I see my past — and how rewriting our stories can move us from victimhood to personal power.Because the stories we tell about our lives don't just describe the past…they shape how we show up in the present.We explore the difference between loving someone and loving them well, and how parenting gives us daily opportunities to consciously choose the kind of love we want to create in our own homes.If you've ever felt stuck inside a narrative about your past — this episode is an invitation to gently question it… and maybe rewrite it.In this episode we talk about:• Rewriting the stories we carry about our childhood• The difference between loving someone and loving them well• Moving from victimhood to personal responsibility• How our past shapes the way we show up as parents• The quiet daily choices that create a loving family cultureMy Past Podcast Guest Appearances: How to Heal from a Chaotic Childhood with Ryann Watkin Embracing Sensitivity: Navigating Parenthood with Insights, Challenges, and Joys with Ryann WatkinEmbracing Life's Unexpected Lessons with Ryann Watkin My Co-Host from Rise and Flourish: Ashley Ageloff Founder of Your Limitless Health Resources to Learn More About The Real Mary Magdalene: Mary Magdalene Revealed by Megan Watterson

Most golfers think performance is a two-part equation: talent + hard work. Craig Domann says that's exactly why so many players stay stuck—because when results don't match effort, they start hunting for shortcuts: a new driver, a new swing coach, a new "hack" to finally feel confident. But Craig's worked with 300+ NFL athletes and coaches over 30 years, and he's seen the real separator up close: Mindset is the multiplier. Not the motivational-poster version of mindset—Craig means your story, your standards, your ability to play an inside game (you vs. you), and your capacity to detach from outcomes when the moment gets loud. This conversation is a blueprint for anyone chasing the next level—on the course, in business, and in life—especially if you've ever felt behind before you even tee it up. In this episode, you'll learn: Why mindset is the missing variable that lets you outperform your "expected" ceiling How your inner story shows up in "Olympic moments" (first tee, final holes, big meetings) The difference between playing an inside game vs. outside game (and why 90% get trapped) Why "going all-in" requires vulnerability—and how fear of judgment keeps you small The hidden enemy of elite performance: comfort, convenience, and entitlement How to use detachment to access flow when stakes, money, or validation creep in Craig's P5 framework: Preparation, Practice, Pit Crew, Preview, Process Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 Mindset and Performance Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

Your "Olympic moment" story is the real story: what you tell yourself when you're outdriven, on the first tee, or protecting a lead is what determines execution. Self-belief is built on self-love: most people carry years of "trash" and scar tissue into every round unless they learn to release it and rewrite the narrative. Elite performers play an inside game: less comparison, less social-media validation, more "me vs. me" autonomy and self-trust under pressure. Going all-in is the true price of elite: it's vulnerable (like showing your cards in poker), and most people avoid that exposure more than they want to win. Detachment unlocks flow: counting money, accolades, sponsors, or "what this means" creates interference; "nothing to lose" is why comebacks happen. Comfort competes with success: entitlement and convenience justify skipped reps; rest matters, but it must be scheduled intentionally and paired with proper pace. Key Quotes: "When you add your God given ability, plus the training and the hard work you put in, and then your mindset, you can actually outperform what people think you should be able to do." "The story that shows up in those Olympic moments… is the story we tell ourselves." "It's belief in love. It's self-belief and self-love." "They have the uncanny ability to play an inside game instead of an outside game." "To truly be elite, you've got to have the courage and the guts to go all in with no safety net." "The best place to reside is to be in the uncomfortable zone." "The story you tell yourself needs to be on that billboard… because that's your swing thought."

Have you ever stopped and thought, Why do I keep getting stuck in the same patterns?Or wondered why midlife brings up so many questions about identity, confidence, and purpose?In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, I'm joined by Drenda Thomas Richards, author of Dare to Remember, for an honest and eye-opening discussion about the stories we've been carrying since childhood — often without even realizing it.We talk about how early messages from family, culture, church, and society quietly shape our beliefs, decisions, and fears in midlife. From feeling “too old” or “not qualified,” to staying quiet, playing small, or believing it's too late — these stories can run the show unless we pause and name them.This episode isn't about fixing yourself.It's about awareness, compassion, and understanding why certain patterns make so much sense.In Part 2, we'll move into faith transitions, grace, and how to begin stepping forward with more freedom and peace.Key Takeaways:Drenda's journey from a strict religious upbringing to discovering her authentic selfHow subconscious beliefs formed in childhood continue to influence adult decisionsCommon midlife stories women carry: “I'm too old,” “I'm not qualified,” “I missed my chance”Fear-based thinking and people-pleasing patternsCultural and church messages that encourage women to stay quiet or play smallWhy awareness is the first step toward freedomConnect with Drenda:https://www.drendathomasrichards.com/Dare to Remember Book  Resources:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/shellyniehaus/Simple Shifts Newsletter: https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/tipsWomen Entrepreneurs In Prayer Call - https://midlifemadesimplepodcast.com/prayer

In this episode, Dr. Resa E. Lewiss speaks with Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often and mini-retirement coach, about taking intentional career breaks to combat burnout and realign with what matters most. Jillian defines mini-retirements as breaks of a month or longer where professionals step away from their primary career to focus on recovery, adventure, or family time. She works primarily with high-achieving professionals who have over-indexed on career advancement while under-indexing on lifestyle and wellbeing. The conversation explores the unique challenges facing healthcare professionals, including a dangerous cultural narrative instilled during medical training that physicians must suffer, lack agency, and simply endure. This programming makes it extraordinarily difficult for doctors to prioritize their own health and take necessary breaks.

In this reflective episode of Flow, Cam Cooksey opens with gratitude and Thanksgiving energy before diving into a powerful monologue on breaking the narratives that keep people stuck. He talks about learning to recognize old stories we tell ourselves, about failure, identity, childhood, relationships, and self-worth, and how those inherited scripts shape what we believe we deserve. Cam walks through the moment he realized he'd been living inside a version of his life that wasn't fully his and how rewriting that story begins with awareness, curiosity, and honesty about the patterns we repeat. He explores victimhood cycles, the traps of perfectionism, the fear of disappointing others, and the courage it takes to choose a different path even when the old one feels familiar. With his signature mix of humor, vulnerability, and encouragement, Cam challenges listeners to step into authorship of their own lives and make small, intentional changes that build momentum toward a more aligned self. It's a grounded, introspective episode about breaking cycles, creating space for growth, and choosing the story you actually want to live.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with John Carter—survivor of a near-fatal gunshot, former addict, ex-inmate, now author of Triggered to Change: A Life Full of Turbulence and owner of Titanium Health & Fitness (Boston). John breaks down how structured planning, community support, and consistent training turned rock bottom into recovery. This episode is a direct, practical look at addiction, trauma, relapse risk, and why strength training can stabilize mood, rebuild identity, and sustain long-term sobriety. If you're navigating trauma or supporting someone who is, you'll get a clear roadmap: make a plan, find your people, and move—one rep at a time. About the guest  : John Carter is a Boston-based personal trainer, motivational speaker, and author. Sober since 1994, he runs a one-on-one private gym focused on sustainable strength and mental resilience. His memoir, Triggered to Change, supports Service Dog Project, which trains and donates Great Danes to people with mobility challenges. Key takeaways: Recovery starts with structure: “fail to plan, plan to fail.” Build a simple, written plan you can follow daily. Consistent training boosts mood and agency; endorphin release from exercise can support depression recovery. Community matters: mentors, halfway houses, and positive peers reduce relapse risk and create accountability. Identity shift is essential: you are not your past; choose behaviors that align with who you're becoming today. Fitness as medicine: start small—one push-up, one walk, one session. Momentum compounds and rewires self-belief. Own your choices: take responsibility without self-blame; focus on the next right action, not perfection. Environment design: private, distraction-free coaching can help clients open up, stick with routines, and see results. Service and purpose accelerate healing: supporting causes (like service dogs) builds meaning beyond the gym.   How to connect with the guest  : Website (book & contact): https://www.turbulencebook.com/ Business: Titanium Health & Fitness, Boston Charity supported: Service Dog Project (Great Danes for mobility support) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast (the finale for Season 4!) Kate sits down with Albert Bramante — talent agent, psychologist, and author — to explore why so many creatives hold themselves back, how to reframe rejection, why fear isn't the enemy, and how to trust yourself enough to rewrite your own script.From Kate: Today I'm bringing you a conversation that feels especially alive and needed right now. I sat down with Albert Bramante — a rare soul who bridges the world of psychology and the performing arts. For over two decades he's walked alongside actors, dancers, and other artists as both a talent agent and a guide through the invisible terrain of mindset, fear, self-doubt, and that sneaky self-sabotage we all bump up against when we dare to put our true selves out in the world.In this conversation, Albert opens up about how rejection isn't really rejection, how fear can be a strange protector, and how staying open to the unknown — in our art, our work, our relationships — can free us to live bigger, truer lives.I hope as you listen you feel a soft invitation to loosen your own grip a little, to see where you might be clinging too tightly to other people's scripts for you — and maybe, just maybe, to let yourself play again.Highlights:Why rejection is rarely personalHow our childhood shapes creative courageWhat fear of success really meansThe power of playing instead of performingReal stories about people pleasing, burnout, and letting go

In this profoundly insightful episode, Dr. Dan welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and cultural thought leader Elise Loehnen to explore the power and necessity of shadow work. Together, they dive into Jungian psychology, the cost of cultural conditioning, and the stories we unconsciously carry that shape who we believe we must be. Elise talks to Dr. Dan about the journey that led to her latest project, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—a transformational guidebook co-written with coach Courtney Smith. From the drama triangle to internal family systems to working with the “eight sins,” this conversation is packed with tools and reflections to help you move from ego to soul, knowledge to wisdom, and fear to empowerment. Key Topics on this new episode include: what lives in our shadow—and why it matters; the cultural cost of being “good” vs. becoming whole; using anger, fear, and envy as tools for healing and growth; and the shadow's role in leadership, parenting, and cultural change. Listeners will walk away with practical insights on identifying their unconscious stories, tools to integrate repressed parts of themselves, and a new lens through which to see themselves—and others—with compassion and clarity.

In this episode of Sex with Emily, renowned psychiatrist and brain expert Dr. Daniel Amen joins us to explore how our "hidden dragons", the unconscious patterns from our past, are secretly controlling our happiness, relationships, and sex lives. Based on his latest book, "Your Brain is Always Listening," Dr. Amen reveals how childhood experiences, family trauma, and even ancestral patterns get written into our brains and show up in our intimate relationships. We dive deep into the most common dragons people face, including the anxious dragon, the abandoned and insignificant dragon, and the codependent dragon. Dr. Amen shares his personal journey with these patterns and explains how understanding your dragons can transform not just your mental health, but your sexual wellness too. We explore the connection between brain health and sexual function, why ADD can impact orgasms, and how negative thought patterns become "bad habits" that sabotage intimacy. This episode includes practical tools like positivity bias training, the power of rewriting your story, and specific breathing techniques that can reset your nervous system. Dr. Amen also addresses a listener's question about cheating addiction and explains how brain scans revealed the neurological patterns behind compulsive behavior. Whether you're struggling with commitment issues, sexual anxiety, or just want to understand how your brain affects your love life, this conversation offers both scientific insights and actionable strategies for creating healthier relationships.
