You can be highly successful and still be running on empty.If you're a high-achieving woman, business owner, or career woman who is exhausted, overwhelmed, struggling with brain fog, sleeping poorly, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore, this conversation is going to make you think differently about the cost of your success.In this episode of the Treasured Wellness Podcast, I'm talking with Leah Hadley, financial professional, author, and founder of Intentional Wealth Partners, about something we don't often connect: your health and your financial future.Leah works with women making significant financial decisions, including high earners and women navigating major life transitions such as divorce and separation. And she sees a pattern that is remarkably similar to what I see in women experiencing high-functioning fatigue.They keep pushing.They sacrifice sleep, meals, rest, relationships and time for themselves because the business, career, family or next goal feels more important.And because they're still functioning, they don't always recognize what that depletion is costing them.We get real as we talk about:• Why high-functioning fatigue can be a slow fade rather than a sudden crisis• How chronic stress and exhaustion can affect eating patterns, sleep, relationships and clear thinking• Why successful women often sacrifice their health for business and career success• The connection between health, energy and your ability to lead and make decisions• Why investing in your health should be viewed as an investment rather than simply an expense• How small compromises compound over time, both negatively and positively• Why doing everything at once can actually keep you from creating lasting healthy habits• The simple power of blocking time for yourself during a demanding workday• What it can cost when depletion eventually forces a woman to step away from work• Why owning your health matters just as much as owning your wealth• And why the future you're building requires you to consider the health and energy you'll need to actually live itIf you've been telling yourself, “I'll focus on myself and deal with my health when things calm down,” this power-packed episode is your invitation to ask a different question:What is my current way of living costing me... and what would change if I began intentionally stewarding my health now?This isn't another conversation about doing more…. because you are already doing a ton.It's about getting honest about what you're already doing, recognizing the patterns, and making one intentional change that can begin to compound in the right direction.Treasure your wellness,MichelleGet your copy of the Treasured Wellness Journal to start leaning into what your body is saying and signaling to you.

Wake up at 4am. Hustle harder. Say yes to everything. Fuck that. This episode is the replay of Leonie's Unhinged Productivity Hacks webinar, and it's the anti-bro-marketing guide to getting your shit done without wrecking your body, your brain or your family time. Sixteen million dollars in revenue, hundreds of workshops, 3,000+ articles, all in 10 to 20 hours a week. Here's how.If you've tried every productivity system and ended up feeling like the broken one, this one's for you. If you're a creative, a caregiver, neurodivergent, or living in a body that runs on cycles instead of a straight line, most productivity advice was never built for you. Leonie hands you a wild, unhinged menu of possibilities instead of a prescription.TOPICS COVEREDWhy mainstream productivity advice fails mothers, caregivers, creatives and neurodivergent folksWorking with your energy seasons, hormonal cycles and life eras instead of against themPrimitive reflex integration and how it expanded Leonie's nervous system capacityProtein, supplements and medication as brain supportAccountability, body doubling and "sparkle time"The Take Action Club and how it's built around all of thisKEY INSIGHTSUnless a task makes you money, is promised to a client, or is legally required, it's optional. Cross it off without guilt.Pareto's principle in practice: 20% of your tasks create 80% of your results. Find the 20% and put your energy there.Every yes has an opportunity cost. Leonie has said no to conferences, travel, 95% of networking and most podcast invites, and it's why she has spaciousness.Playing dead is a legitimate strategy. You don't owe everyone a reply.Consistency is a myth for cyclical bodies. Plan gentler days around your cycle and treat fallow periods as integration, not failure.Unresolved primitive reflexes keep your startle response firing all day. Resolving them took Leonie from "nonverbal after a one-day event" to four hours of calls a day.Sleep is non-negotiable. Sacrificing it shrinks your brain capacity and messes with your hormones.Sparkle time (an hour a week doing something that lights you up) is a calendar item, not a treat.Body doubling works online too. Add another body to the room and the thing you've dreaded for weeks gets done in 15 minutes.Sharing your task list publicly is rocket fuel. It's why Leonie pre-sells her courses and books before they exist.NOTABLE QUOTES"Most productivity advice is written by white, able-bodied, neurotypical men who are not primary caregivers. They're either single or they've got a fucking wife." "Unless it makes me money, unless it's something I've already committed to deliver for my clients, or unless it's something the government requires of me, the rest can just go fuck itself." "So often the way to speed up is to slow down."ABOUT YOUR HOSTS!Leonie Dawson is a multi award-winning entrepreneur who has created over $16 million in revenue in part-time hours.

Worship is built into who we are as human beings. The real question is not whether we worship, but what we worship. God is worthy of our praise because of who He is and what He has done through Jesus Christ. When we gather together, we are called to do four things: sing, see, sacrifice, and show. Singing places biblical truth on our lips and unites us as one voice before God. Seeing means coming with open eyes, ready to encounter His presence through His Word and His Spirit. Sacrificing means offering our time, preferences, pride, and finances as acts of devotion. Showing means letting our worship be visible enough that others catch a glimpse of who God truly is.
Opening Prayer We pause to honor the breath that sustains us and the silence that clears the way. We step into this space rooted in ancient wisdom, shielded against distraction, and undisturbed in our purpose. As we open these pages and engage these ideas, grant us the clarity to discern signal from static. May the words we explore serve as tools for liberation, strengthening our minds, nourishing our bodies, and fortifying our community. We give thanks for the privilege of focus, the wealth of knowledge, and the sanctuary of this circle. Rooted. Shielded. Undisturbed. Amen.

How do you grow a business without sacrificing your family? Lauren Apple, keynote speaker, former pastor of ten years, and founder of Profit & Presence Co., makes the case that ambitious mothers can stay as successful as they want to be while staying present for the people the work is meant to serve. She calls the alternative the Beautiful Prison, the point where a Kingdom business becomes Kingdom bondage. In this episode, Rachel and Lauren talk through the whole thing: the success trap that catches driven women, why ambition is not something to feel guilty about, how structure creates freedom rather than limiting it, and the yearly alignment audit Lauren uses to turn vague values into standards she can live by. They also get practical about delegation, biblical stewardship beyond money, and the anchors that protect her hard 4 PM stop while she raises five kids. For anyone building something meaningful who wants to stay present at home, it is a grounded, practical starting point. "Structure is actually what provides us freedom." Lauren Apple __________________________________________________________

In this thought provoking episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager sits down with Nancy Kalish, co author of The Case Against Homework, to challenge one of the most accepted assumptions in modern education: that more homework means more learning. Kalish explains how excessive homework can leave children overwhelmed, burned out, and even cause them to lose their love of learning. Dennis and Kalish discuss what children are giving up when homework takes over their evenings, including family dinners, physical activity, hobbies, reading for pleasure, and time simply being kids. Dennis also shares his own experience of doing very little homework in high school and argues that there is far more to a child's education than what happens in a classroom. But what if the homework meant to help your child succeed is actually doing the opposite? Dennis and Kalish debate parents, teachers, and callers who disagree, explore whether homework really improves academic performance, and ask a bigger question: Are we sacrificing our children's childhoods in the pursuit of better grades?

In this episode, I answer a follow-up question from a mom who recently reduced screen time for her 8- and 10-year-old children and is now seeing an unexpected result: her son wants to spend much more time outside with friends. That is a huge win, but it has created a new parenting challenge—how much freedom and independence should a 10-year-old actually have? I talk through ways to gradually increase independence without ignoring legitimate safety concerns, including starting with one approved activity, setting clear expectations, and allowing children to earn greater freedom by demonstrating responsibility. I also discuss why there is no single age when every child is suddenly ready to roam independently. The neighborhood, the friends involved, the child's maturity, the ability to communicate with you, and your own comfort level all matter. The goal is not to eliminate every possible risk or give children unlimited freedom, but to find a balance where they can practice independence while knowing that increased freedom comes with increased responsibility.

What if performing at your best didn't have to come at the expense of your health? For so many ambitious and driven people, looking after ourselves can become something we continually plan to return to later. Once the deadline has passed. Once the project is finished. Once life becomes a little less demanding. But what if our wellbeing isn't separate from our ability to perform? What if it's actually the foundation that allows us to keep doing the work that matters to us? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Jessica Spendlove—speaker, coach, advisor and author of For the Long Run: Build Your Daily Operating System for Energy, Recovery and Wellbeing. Jess has spent 15 years working at the intersection of wellbeing and high performance. Her career began in performance nutrition, working with hundreds of elite athletes, Olympic medallists, seven professional sporting teams and the Special Forces. Today, she brings those lessons into her work with corporate leaders, high-performing teams and organisations. Together, we explore why even some of the best performers in the world are still working to master the fundamentals, and why the increasingly complicated world of protocols, optimisation and extreme routines can make wellbeing feel harder than it needs to be. Jess shares her philosophy of upgrading rather than overhauling. Instead of measuring ourselves against an ideal routine—or even a previous version of ourselves—she encourages us to create rhythms that suit our current season and can be maintained on our busiest days, not only our best ones. We also discuss why knowledge alone doesn't always lead to change. Drawing on her experience in professional sport, Jess explains how our environment, systems and relationships can influence our behaviour far more than another piece of information. Connection is another important part of the conversation. Jess explores why sustainable wellbeing includes our relationships, values and sense of purpose, and what can happen when achievement begins to take priority over everything else. Jess and I first met at a speaker training workshop with Sally Prosser, and it was lovely to reconnect. I continue to be blown away by Jess's drive—particularly knowing that she wrote this book while navigating business and motherhood with a very young daughter. Yet what I found most interesting was how that season shaped the book itself. Rather than presenting a rigid formula, Jess has created an approach that recognises that our capacity changes and that sustainable performance needs to leave room for the reality of our lives. This is such a thoughtful conversation about ambition, energy, recovery, relationships and redefining success so that we can continue doing meaningful work without losing ourselves in the process. Key Episode Takeaways: Sustainable high performance isn't about lowering your ambitions. It's about building the foundations that allow you to pursue meaningful goals without continually sacrificing your health and wellbeing. Upgrade rather than overhaul. Extreme routines and short-term challenges can be difficult to sustain, while one or two consistent changes can help create momentum and greater capacity over time. Your approach needs to work on your busiest days—not only your best ones. Jess encourages us to stop benchmarking ourselves against an ideal routine or a previous season of life and create rhythms that reflect our current capacity. Even the highest-performing people in the world are still mastering the fundamentals. Nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, recovery and connection remain central, regardless of how advanced someone's performance environment may be. Knowing what to do isn't always enough. Our systems, environment and relationships can make healthy behaviours easier to follow and often matter just as much as information or motivation. Connection is part of wellbeing. Our relationships, values and sense of purpose affect how well we live and perform, and success can feel increasingly empty when it takes us out of alignment with them. Our definition of success can evolve. Jess reflects on moving beyond externally driven achievement and considering the kind of life she wants to live, the person she wants to be and her capacity to enjoy what she is creating. About the Guest: Jessica Spendlove speaks, coaches and writes about sustainable high performance and wellbeing. She is a keynote speaker, advisor and author of For the Long Run: Build Your Daily Operating System for Energy, Recovery and Wellbeing. Across her 15-year career, Jess has worked with hundreds of elite athletes, Olympic medallists, seven professional sporting teams, the Special Forces, corporate leaders and high-performing organisations. Her work helps people embed wellbeing as a foundation for sustainable performance and leadership. Jess is also an Associate with Monash University's Corporate Education program and host of the Stay at the Top podcast. Through her speaking, coaching and writing, she is working to change the narrative so that success is achieved not at the expense of our health, but because of it.

If you stepped away from your law firm tomorrow, what would stop working? For Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, that question became very real when her daughter's traumatic birth forced her to cut her dental practice from five days a week to two and a half. She could have accepted that working less meant earning less. Instead, Ruth and her team changed the way the practice operated. They returned to their previous revenue, continued to grow, and built a business that no longer depended on Ruth being involved in everything. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Ruth about what law firm owners can learn from her experience. They discuss building a team that takes ownership, creating a better client experience, hiring the right people, and letting go of work without losing accountability.

The business wasn't missing ambition. It was missing the structure to sustain it. What happens when a rapidly growing business starts demanding more from its founder than one person can give? In this case study, Dr. Jesse Jacobs of Freeform Chiropractic shares how he transformed a fast-growing franchise organization from founder-dependent momentum into a scalable enterprise built on accountability, structure, and leadership. As Free Form Chiropractic expanded from seven locations to a growing multi-unit organization, Jesse discovered that the next stage of growth required more than vision. It demanded operational discipline, clear systems, and a business that could thrive without depending on him to save the day. The result wasn't just a stronger company. It gave him more freedom with his family, greater confidence as a CEO, and a clearer path toward the future he set out to build. In This Case Study You Will: Follow how Free Form Chiropractic evolved from founder-driven growth to a business built for long-term scale. Discover why accountability and organizational clarity became the missing pieces behind rapid expansion. Hear what changed when Jesse stopped white-knighting every challenge and stepped fully into the CEO role. Explore how leadership systems created greater freedom both inside the business and at home. Take away the framework that helped transform growth into durability and optionality. Episode Highlights 01:33 – A fast-growing franchise looked successful on paper, but behind the scenes the founder was carrying far more than the business could sustainably demand. 02:56 – The realization wasn't knowing exactly what needed to change. It was recognizing that growth had exposed problems that couldn't be solved alone. 03:56 – Personal vision became the foundation for business vision, creating clarity that reached far beyond opening more locations. 05:48 – Looking beyond the bank account and into meaningful business metrics transformed how every location was measured and improved. 07:12 – Standards stopped drifting once accountability and clear ownership became part of the organization's operating rhythm. 08:55 – Building a world-class team started with a simple commitment: only world-class people would shape the future of the company. 12:06 – The pursuit of freedom gave way to something even more valuable: building a business durable enough to create lasting optionality. 17:20 – Growth wasn't measured only by opening more locations but by creating businesses that could thrive without depending on the founder. 20:58 – Reclaiming intentional time with family became one of the clearest signs that the business was finally serving the life it was meant to support. 24:30 – The greatest breakthroughs didn't come from having all the answers, but from surrounding the business with people who understood the journey. 28:12 - Technology should make running a chiropractic practice easier, not more complicated. Dr. Bobby sits down with Sam Ogutucu from Success Partner Medic Cloud to explore how specialized IT support and in-house digital X-ray solutions help practices improve efficiency, enhance the patient experience, protect retention, and create stronger long-term profitability.

There is no all-in-one software that does everything well. Every single one of them makes you give something up. The only real question is whether you're okay with what you're giving up.This one is for the photographers. Every time I open Threads, someone is asking how to consolidate their tech stack down to one tool — fewer logins, fewer subscriptions, one connected experience for their clients. I get it. But I'm also going to tell you why gallery software that added CRM features and a CRM that added gallery features are two very different things, and why that difference should decide what you do next.In this episode:The three reasons photographers try to consolidate their tech stackWhy I'm fine with Sprout Studio when I'm not an all-in-one personThe one thing Pixieset would have to fix before I'd stop steering people away from itWhat HoneyBook and VSCO (formerly Táve) just quietly added to their platformsThe type of photographer who should not touch either one of them yetLinks mentioned:The all-in-one software blog post (kept updated as features release) → https://coliejames.com/photography-all-in-one-software/Episode 297: Three Ways Business Systems Can Generate More Revenue → https://coliejames.com/generate-more-revenue-with-systems/What Pixieset will and won't give you → https://coliejames.com/dubsado-vs-pixieset/Systems in Session → https://coliejames.com/systemsLooking at a new tool and want the Colie seal of approval before you jump?

What does it take to make every surgical consultation feel individualized amid increasing pressure for efficiency? George O. Waring IV, MD, speaks with Alexandra Dean, Director of Practice Development at Waring Vision Institute, about building a counseling continuum that starts before the patient arrives and uses intake forms, previsit outreach, and cohesive handoffs to connect clinical recommendations with individual goals. Dean also shares practical guidance on training nonclinical counselors, using technology without losing the human touch, and creating an experience patients remember for how it made them feel.

Kiera gives three tactical shifts to help practice owners get their time, energy, and life back, while still maintaining a successful business. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I want to talk about a fun topic that I think a lot of you deal with. and that's burnout. And I know we've talked about it before, I know we've talked about it in the past, and I know it's not a fun topic, but I think it's a fun one to help people not have. I think burnout, I was listening to I have a podcast that I really enjoy. It's Life Wisdom by Words of Taoism. And I just love different mindsets, different perspectives, and I think this ties really heavily into today's topic. And he was talking about how, like, so many of us are per burnout, and it's this feeling of like, I'm just spent, I'm just exhausted, like I can't do one other thing. And they were talking about how oftentimes it's not just about the work that we're doing. A lot of times it's not actually the work, it's the mental load that we're carrying or the things that we're carrying behind. And it's that is what I want to talk about today is. like the burnout and how we can get our life back without sacrificing all of it and what this looks like and work life balance and the cliche around it. But when I started thinking of like all the pieces that we do carry the stress of a team, the workload of actually doing it, stress of our families, conversations, replaying conversations in our mind, wondering if we did things correctly, like did I check the books? Did I talk to this team member correctly? D what do I need to do? There's so much weight. thinking about how oftentimes like we build these businesses, not to be prisoners of them, but to actually have freedom from them. And I think sometimes it feels cliche and it feels like we're getting the exact opposite of that. And so I wanted to talk about like why we get the burnout similar to that. Like we're caring so much. It's not the workload. I don't think most of us, I think a lot of us are fine. I think it's the how much we're caring, it's the subconscious caring that doesn't ever leave us alone. And so what causes that shift in an Hopefully just some like three tactical shifts that help you get your time, your energy, and your life back. And burnout is a lot of times a conversation we have with a lot of doctors. And I think having a coach, having a guide, having someone in your corner can help prevent that burnout sooner and quicker because we're gonna be listening to it, watching it. And I think having a safe space where you can say, like, I'm exhausted, I'm tired, like I don't physically think I can do that anymore. And then somebody questioning and saying, All right, like there's other, there's a thousand other paths to do it. Let's look and let's find that solution where you don't have to do it. But we're able to have other people there with you. and I just I think that burnout, I think stress, I think carrying it, it's at every size of practice. So please don't think like, well, people don't deal with this. No, they do. No, like there's highs and lows, everybody has it, that we've got days we've got more of it, we've got days that we have less of it. and I don't think it's like needing more motivation. I think it's like w what what do I actually do? And so kind of just going through that Dental A Team, we work with hundreds of offices across the nation. Like we've seen it across the board. I've dealt with it. I'm a business owner. I'm a multi-million dollar owner. I've built practices, I've run dental practices, I've started my own business. I've gone from scratch up. I've sold. I mergers and acquisitions, selling to DSOs, you name it. I've been there, I've done that, I've done it a lot. I've done it in my own personal life. I've built multiple multiple businesses in my own. I've built my own personal brand. The things like let's talk, let's talk as business owners, let's talk about these different things. And so I think one of the biggest things that can help prevent this burnout is to stop being the solution to every problem. I think that we carry this weight constantly of feeling like, especially founders who have built up from the ground up, feel like they've got to be the solution. You were. That's who you were. You had a GSD to get there. But that doesn't mean that's who you need to continue to be. And I'm I'm guilty of this. I watch Slack and I watch myself. And how often do I just jump in and solve a problem? Or I'm sitting in meetings and I know the answer, but just because I know the answer doesn't mean I need to raise my hand and answer. I need to have a team that can create solutions. I need to have a team that genuinely can do it. Because I genuinely believe one of the fastest paths is being the answer for everything. team members are like, how to know if this is the case is you got team members who are constantly coming to you. Every decision requires your approval and you are solving problems all day long, even minimal problems. And I know I'm guilty of this in my own company. I watch it and I'm like, why are they asking me for that? Like, how do I give them the permission to not need that? And I need to just let them be dependent. And Let them be independent and not dependent on me. I think when I see teams very dependent on an owner, including myself, I think people being exhausted. I think the practice that can't function without you, can they handle these decisions without you? But also there you think there's a flip side of can you handle them making mistakes? Can you handle letting go of the control? Can you handle if things break? I remember me and a dear colleague, we were having a very spicy conversation and I was like, what? You want me like sign off on these things and let our reputation get destroyed? I was very sassy that day. This was just like six months ago. You guys, this was not like young Kiera. This was real life Kiera. And she's like, no, Kiera, we're not like just gonna let our reputation fall apart. She said, but you do need to have things like she sent me a decision matrix and she said, You've got to make decisions like which ones really are going to destroy our business, and which ones do you need to realize are not going to destroy and you need to stop being involved in those. And to have somebody who's willing to push back on me like that, I was so appreciative of because she's like, Kiera, you're sitting here making decisions about cards and branding. That isn't like we're not gonna destroy it. And she's like, I understand in the past that might not have been the case, but guess what? If something goes wrong, your team's gonna fix it. But you have to let them, you have to trust them. Otherwise, you're forever gonna be held in bottleneck, choke hold burnout. And I think when I hear that, I think about the monkey who. puts their hand in the hole and they hold on to the nut and they can't get their hand out and they end up getting trapped. And I think about how many business owners with burnout have their hand holding on so tightly to control and wanting everything perfect that they don't let go of it that they end up suffocating themselves and burning out when it didn't necessarily need to be that way. So when I look at like doctors and how much are you answering and office managers, how much are you answering versus how much is your team able to do? This doctor I was in, we were looking at like etching glass and the team found some cool things on Etsy and the doctor's like, yep, sign off stamp. You guys do it. I know you're gonna do a great job. And it's not something where they're gonna check over their shoulder. No, if it doesn't look good, of course they're gonna say something, but that's such a small decision with such small ramifications versus they're building out the entire construction of the business on the other side. Two very different pieces. Like what is the ramification long term? And so When you're looking at it, I would say But number one, when questions come to you, start to ask your team what solutions do you think are we can do for this? And then trust them and let them run with it. Second, for yourself, in meetings, stop being the answer to everything. And then third, just look to see like what's one, two, three, four items that you don't need to give an answer to. Just sit and watch and observe. And I think for me, I almost like have the visual putting my hands, like sitting on my hands and pretend or pretend my hands have glue on them and they're stuck together. If I couldn't do anything, would my team be able to handle this without me? And I think it's a good test to see how much they're actually able to do. Anytime I go on vacation, I completely check out and I come back and I'm shocked at how good they can do. And I think reminding myself that my team wants to make me proud, that they can answer these things, that I don't need to answer it for them, trusting them they're gonna have better ideas than me. And again, them doing 80% of the work is better than me doing 100% of it. And so I think a great way for you to look at like, Start asking your team to bring solutions. You can even roll it out that guys, I'm not, I'm not great at this. So please, like everybody, this is my ask. This is my goal for the next six months. Put a bracelet on, whatever you got to do to remind yourself. Like, I literally have a bracelet this year that says no. And that's to remind me, like, no, like, don't do that. Don't say yes to this. Like, let your team flourish. Let go of that control, trust. Because honestly, as a team member, that's the greatest thing your your boss can ever do for you, is to give you the trust and the confidence into. Let you flourish. That's where people love to work. No one loves to work when they're being micromanaged. And I know I'm guilty of this. So my team listening, I'm sorry. And just know that I'm hyper aware of it, actively participating in letting go of that. And genuinely, I know my team will do far better than I ever. Like they want to make me proud. Our team is such a great team. And your team's the same way. So let them stop stopping the solution to every problem. The second thing to help prevent this burnout that's tactical is. have boundaries around your time. And this is something I learned early on. I used to work sun up to sundown, seven days a week, on holidays, on weekends. And I think we protect our production time. Like you better believe I ask you for a meeting. Do you how many offices come in? They to coach and they want to solve their problems. But like, but don't do my calls during during production time. I'll talk to you on my drive home. And I'm like, hard pass? No. You're blocking out two hours a month during production time because I know you're gonna be way more proactive. And I'm probably gonna do like In the morning. You are not running through our meetings and you better be on time to every single meeting. Otherwise, don't sign up for coaching. Like hard and fast. If you can't give me two hours to work on the business, you are not prepared to do coaching because you're not going to implement anything. I'm not talking to you on your drive home. Like, sorry, that's just not where it's going to be. You product your production time, but you don't product your personal time. And both are equally important in my opinion. So, like, are you working through lunch all the time? Are you answering messages at night? Are you h working every single weekend? Do you have this constant mental load that never shuts off on you? And what I found is you gotta block CEO time where you work on the business during your week. Every time I'm getting stressed out, Marissa and I and Shelbi, we look at the schedule and it's like, Kiera had no time to work on the business. This is why she's stressed out. It's a non-negotiable for me. That is the rock. That is the number one thing that goes in the schedule. Non-negotiable. Then after that, like I have family time. I have a date night. And our team, we made it all like a very conscious effort that like after five, we don't do work. I'm not gonna say it's perfect and I'm not gonna say you have to have that because sometimes working. Like sometimes I get up at three in the morning and I'm freaking lit and I'm jazzing. It's not depleting for me. That's not burnout. That's working and it's passionate. So it's not a like hard and fast, no one can work. Because sometimes we do want to, but there's there's a conscious shutoff. And so I look at it, I try hard not to send slacks after five o'clock at night. I can schedule those for the next morning. Like shut my email off, take it off of my phone. Don't have Slack and emails on your phone. And really truly be intentional. So I actually have a box. This came from a friend. she has a really cool box, and that box no longer is being made, otherwise, I'd share it with you. So I bought a like nice $5 box from Target. It's a white box, it's pretty, it sits on my counter, and that's my phone box. So when I'm done with work, so at five o'clock and I have something where I've got to go, like go for a walk with my husband, have something that I'm looking forward to, have a set end time. my phone my watch comes off and my phone goes off and it goes in the box and I leave and I completely disconnect. Now, for a lot of us, I can feel like a heart palpitation. There's also, I think it's called the brick where you can brick your phone where it turns back into like a brick phone, where honestly there's like calling and messaging, and that's all you have. There's no other apps or anything like that, and you can set it up. for me, I just stick it in the box. And what's really awesome is to be able to disconnect. On the weekends, phone's completely off. Like I'm a princess wife and my husband has his phone and he loves it. And I leave my phone. I leave it plugged in. I don't take it with me. Because I need a complete disconnect. When I go on vacations, it's a hundred percent offline. I love to go out of the country for that reason because I'm out o offline and I know it's gonna charge me more to to talk to people. Now I know some of you have kiddos and whatnot, but the more you can have blocked family time, blocked CEO time, blocked personal recharge time, and you protect all three of those equally, you will actually feel like like even that, like I feel like this breath of fresh air. It's and again, it's not about being perfect, it's about being consistent. So you might miss in one week you're gonna have a lot more. But our consultants, they're working for such long hours and we set a quarterly rock that all of us would get out at five o'clock. And every week we actually start asking, like, how is it? And it's shocking. We have seven consultants, and I've been watching all of them start to trend more and more and more to personal life. I've also watched happiness levels increase across our consultant team. I've watched burnout become less and less, and they're still able to take care of their clients, they're still able to work with their Teams, they're still able to get their things done. We just consolidate. We also started having it where like every Monday people list off how many hours they have available for the week. Like, hey, how many hours do you have? Looking at the schedule, who's got time? And then we're using each other within the department to help each other out. So that way people aren't getting burnt out. We've got people who have hours of time. They're not as busy. You might have an assistant or a hygienist who's not as busy. What do people have on their workload? Can we share the workload with each other? Can we pass out the recare list, the reactivation list? Like, how can we do this to where we all get out at five? We're all committed to it. Let's all work together as a team. Let's all get our pieces done so that way we're all together. But I think for you, don't answer messages at night. If you knew I'd pay you a million dollars for the next month, okay? Million dollars is on the line. For the next month, you didn't do any work after five. I'll give you till 5.15 because your patients might go. 515 and on the weekends you're not touching work. Would you do it for a month? A million dollars is on the line. And I know every one of you would say yes to me. So if you're gonna say yes to that, Your life is worth more than a million dollars. Your health is worth more than a million dollars. So you do have a million dollars on the line for you. I'm not paying you. You're paying yourself this. So create those boundaries and dedicate this time. For me, I do have on the weekends. I've got one hour, two hours. I'm gonna block my week on Sundays. Like I do that. That's part of it. I'm okay with that. That's something that I don't take away from my family. Jason knows it. We're good. I've got it. But it allows me to decompress and I'm able to be there present with him. I literally. Control my calendar. So my calendar doesn't control me. I am actively creating my life and man, I'm not managing my circumstances. I'm creating my life. So for you, I used to think like working harder was better. No, there's a place to work hard and there's a place to play hard and there's a place to sleep hard and there's a place to rest hard. All of those are important. So block your CEO time and guard that. Block your family time and guard that. Block your personal recharge time and block and like honor all three of those equally. You're doing it with your production, so I know you're capable of doing it. Shut off, be done at five. Go give yourself that freedom. And like even me saying that, I feel this weight come off my shoulders. So I would say schedule those three non-negotiable blocks of time every single week. Treat it like production time, non-negotiable. You will be shocked at the life you will get back and the burnout will go away very quickly. Now, you might be like me, there was one summer I was completely burnt out. I sent I slept 17 hours a day for almost an entire month. Sometimes we're so far into the burnout phase that we have to give some massive recharge. And like just taking this isn't going to be enough. You might have to schedule in a week off or you just sleep nonstop. But once we get to that point, and I'd say don't wait to that point. Like let's start doing some things proactively now. it is capable, it is doable. And these are some tactical things that I would say put it in now. Let's put some guardrails in and let's protect that very, very, very strongly. And then number three is build a practice that supports your life. So and we always say that your business should serve your life, not the other way around. And so like I think you should just ask yourself and like it's okay, pull out the crayons, like let's get the canvas back out. What do you want your life to look like? And we do this with our doctors when they start with us, like how many days do you want to work? What kind of a schedule do you want? What role do you want long term, like in one year, three year, 10 year? And then let's put into place and start making your practice work for you. So if you tell me I only want three days, fantastic, let's work for it. What is our bam? What's our production? Let's build this just a math equation. And I love because math always maths. So let's just build it. What does it need to look like? And what I've watched is when people are living their dream life when they're having it. Now, ego plays. For me, I keep saying, like, I only want to work three days. But my ego is so strong and she really wants to be just important. So I need something to fill that time that's equally as important. I have Jace and I now have a side gig that we do on Fridays together. And it makes it to where like I have a set thing that full like fuels me, fuels my spouse. and we do it on Fridays together. And so I do. I've got I've got other CEO responsibilities that are not Dental A Team specific. But even if I didn't have something else, that's okay as a CEO. You're allowed to to have your business, serve your life. You do not need to work constantly. You are allowed to have whatever life you want. And so let's let's put those systems into place. Let's have leaders in place that are freaking thriving on it and they want to do this. Let's like make our decisions based on vision, not on guilt. Like that's what we're gonna do. And so you can reduce your clinical days. We can hire people for that. me and a doctor were working and we just created this like awesome two year vision. I'm so pumped. I was like, okay, in two years, like let's build this. Like, what's your tenure? And I was like, sweet, let's build it into a two year. To be able to help people see it. Sometimes we can't see that. Sometimes we don't think we're worthy of it. Sometimes we I don't know. I think we just get in a rut and robotic and then we just forget that, like, no, no, no, we're the creators of our lives, not the managers of them. You get to create this. You didn't build yourself a prison. You build yourself freedom. But it depends on which route you're gonna go and if you're actually gonna live it. So you've got to have your practice supporting your life, not the other way around. So I want you to look down, like what your, you can write down what your ideal work looks like, what it's gonna look like in one year, three years, ten years, and then like let's just work backwards. Some of you get so stuck and you're like, I don't know, how do I get my team bought into it? Your team wants you to thrive. Your ego wants you to just survive. Like it's usually ego that keeps us there. It's not really our team. It's not all those excuses we tell ourselves. It's not that mental load that we're carrying constantly. That mental load is heavy. It's a constant guilt running and guilt's not serving. It's just keeping you stuck. So if you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, trapped, or even none of those, like I just want you to know you're not alone. Let's put into place these safeguards. Let's let's have this where number one, we're going to stop being the solution to every problem. Number two, We're gonna create those boundaries around our personal time and we're gonna block them like we do our production time. We're gonna honor them, we're gonna value them. It's our CEO time, our family time, and our personal recharge time. Block those. And then we're gonna build a practice that truly supports our life. And we're gonna be so committed and know that we deserve every ounce of this. And we're we are so committed that we're gonna get it. Non-negotiable. Pretend a million dollars, billion dollars, whatever you want, your dream car, your dream vacation, whatever it is, it's on the line. If you'll just show up for yourself. I think so often burnout comes because we're not willing to. Reduce the load. I think a lot of it is self-induced, and then I think a lot of it is just habit. We've been doing it for so long that we don't know a different path. But I will say that other path is always there. The HOV lane is always open. Let's get over into that HOV lane. Let's start doing things easier. You deserve it. You are a billion dollar asset. Treat yourself like it. You guys have this. You don't have to work harder.

We help you build your vision. We help get your team bought into that vision. We could give you the permission to shut off at five. We tell you, like, stop, grab a PA, like a personal assistant, hire this person. Like these things you don't have to do. You're welcome to keep doing it. There's no force on our side. There's no judgment on our side. There's just love and unconditional love to make sure you are taken care of. So reach out. I'd love to help you.

I hope you know you're worth it. And I hope you know that it is possible. So come be a part of it. There's so many of our doctors that live their best lives. I got one doctor who's a million-dollar practice working three days a week, wants nothing more than that, and is so freaking happy and is an incredible leader. I have another doctor. They work four days a week. They got a three and a half million dollar practice. Incredible, incredible. They could build another location. They don't want to. We got it set up for their kids, their life. They're on vacation. They're able to serve and get back to their community. Whatever your life is, it's doable for you. I've got others that have like five locations and they're so happy with it. Whatever your life is, it's doable. So let's make it, let's create it, let's not manage it. You guys, I'm proud of you.

"Time management is not something you're born with or born without. It's a skill that anybody can learn if they're being taught in a reasonable way." In this episode, Heather and Megan Sumrell explore what it means to stop fighting time and start building a life that actually has room for you to live. So many of us approach planning from a place of pressure, trying to squeeze more into every available pocket of time, sacrifice sleep to catch up, or follow rigid systems that were never designed around our actual lives. But creating a calm, organized life isn't about becoming more productive; it's about building enough structure to protect what matters while leaving space for the unexpected, the people we love, and the parts of ourselves that can't be scheduled. Learn how to let go of the shame of not doing it all, increase your capacity instead of constantly playing catch-up, and redefine productivity so that the white space in your calendar becomes part of the life you're creating. What to listen for: ☑️ Getting into a relationship with time rather than always trying to "beat it" ☑️ The sooner we learn to build ourselves back into our lives, the better we'll feel ☑️ Why the way you're planning might be keeping you perpetually behind "Learning how to create a plan that supports enough structure to ensure important things are getting done while also leaving space to absorb life and the reality of life, that's really the sweet spot." ☑️ Releasing the shame and pressure we put on ourselves to plan perfectly ☑️ Sacrificing your sleep is not the way to create more time, and what to do instead ☑️ Why you should never follow someone else's rigid morning routine "A successful tool or system is one where the steps that you follow are the same for everybody, but the inputs are uniquely yours, and the outputs are uniquely yours." ☑️ Goal setting is a waste of time when you don't have control of your daily life ☑️ How to increase your capacity so that you don't begin each week already behind ☑️ Teaching our children time management skills so they can thrive "The stuff that's important to me is represented on my calendar and protected to ensure I can get them done. But my identity is in all the white space on my calendar." ☑️ Breaking the belief that you have to be productive in your open pockets of time ☑️ Learning to think like someone who knows how to create a calm, organized life ☑️ Building a full life that isn't stressful or constantly overbooked About Megan Sumrell: Megan Sumrell is a former corporate executive turned entrepreneur.

Can you be highly successful without being exhausted all the time? Yes, and you don't have to choose between growing your career and having a life you actually enjoy. In this episode, Jess DeMarchis shares how she made $39,000 in one month while working just 12 days, and more importantly, what had to change in the way she approached success and work to make that possible. As a trauma therapist, coach, and expert in behavior change, Jess explains why so many ambitious, high-achieving women become trapped in overworking, perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing, and the belief that success requires sacrifice. If you've ever felt successful on paper but exhausted behind the scenes, struggled to slow down without feeling guilty, or wondered why your career seems to require sacrificing your health, relationships, boundaries, or peace, this episode will help you understand what's really driving those patterns. Jess breaks down four shifts that have helped her grow her income and impact while creating more time for her personal life. If you're a high-achieving woman, entrepreneur, leader, or ambitious professional who wants to grow without burnout, this episode will give you a new way to think about success. In this episode, you'll learn: How to be successful without sacrificing your personal life Why high-achieving women struggle with overworking and burnout The connection between trauma, achievement, and productivity How trauma adaptations can drive perfectionism, hyper-independence, and overfunctioning Why rest can feel uncomfortable or unsafe for ambitious women How to create sustainable success without sacrificing your health or relationships Four strategies for growing your income and impact with less time How to prioritize your life while still building an ambitious career Why being busy doesn't necessarily mean you're being productive How to protect your cognitive energy and make better business decisions Why self-care, sleep, health, therapy, and personal relationships are business assets How to stop using productivity as a measure of your worth Free Resource: Download Jess's 50 Trauma-Informed Coaching Questions to start identifying the deeper patterns, beliefs, and behaviors influencing the way you work. https://jessicademarchis.myflodesk.com/50questions Want support creating your next level of success without sacrificing your personal life?

Send us Fan MailWhat does success really mean if achieving it comes at the expense of your health?In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, I'm joined by business strategist and entrepreneur Lisa Johnson for an honest conversation about chronic illness, ambition and the pressure to keep going—even when your body is asking you to stop.Lisa shares what it was like to build an extraordinarily successful business while dealing with persistent health problems and the uncertainty of not always knowing what was wrong. Despite feeling mentally motivated and capable, her body was telling a different story.We explore why financial success does not necessarily translate into happiness or wellbeing, and how Lisa began to reconsider what “enough” looked like—not only financially, but across her work, relationships and health.Lisa also discusses the small but significant changes she made to create a more sustainable life, the importance of asking for help and why being open about what we are experiencing can deepen relationships rather than weaken them.This is a thoughtful conversation about recognising when the way you are living is no longer working, listening to the signals your body is sending you and finding a version of success that leaves room for your health.In this episode, we discuss:Lisa's experience of managing chronic illness while building a multimillion-pound businessThe disconnect between feeling mentally well and being physically unwellWhy ambition can make it difficult to recognise—or respond to—the body's warning signsThe emotional impact of unexplained symptoms and diagnostic uncertaintyHow stress, pressure and perfectionism can affect our healthRedefining success beyond income, growth and external achievementThe question Lisa asked herself when deciding what needed to changeWhy one strategic change can sometimes have a positive effect across your entire lifeBalancing ambition with health, relationships and happinessThe value of authenticity, vulnerability and asking other people for supportLisa's advice for anyone considering leaving employment and starting a businessKey takeawayYour body can be struggling even when your mind feels ready to keep going.

On this episode of The Ash Said It Show, host Ash welcomes Indy Pederson, a provocative author, adventurer, and researcher whose work challenges the very fabric of human history, geopolitics, and reality itself. Pederson joins the show to discuss his groundbreaking two-volume work, Sacrificing Humanity—a blistering exposé merging modern UAP phenomena, ancient religious prophecy, and covert geopolitical secrets. Indy breaks down the modern Galileo Moment, discussing why recent Congressional hearings on UAPs signal a terrifying realization that humanity is not the center of the universe and is dangerously close to a self-inflicted nuclear war. He details the alarming frequency of UAPs disabling nuclear missile command and control systems, as well as the physical toll and injuries inflicted on launch site personnel. The discussion dives deep into the prophetic script of every major world religion—from biblical scripture and the Quran to Hindu texts and Hopi prophecy—asking whether ancient warnings of Armageddon were meant to alter our path or push us toward a destructive end driven by malevolent forces.

Part I: Mass Distribution is the Antithesis of DesirabilityMarc Lotenberg, Founder of Dorsia, argues that the operators who will define the next decade of hospitality are the ones who have understood that reach and relevance are not the same thing, and that the pursuit of one is often the fastest way to destroy the other. In Part I of this episode, Marc explains why the new generation of wealthy consumers has stopped equating luxury with status and what most operators are getting wrong as a result, what happens to the guest experience when a restaurant can't hide behind alcohol sales, and why opening reservations to anyone and everyone is the fastest way to lose what made a venue worth booking in the first place.

Trained in architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design, Marie-Louise took over creative direction of the property in 2004, starting with a single bathroom renovation and expanding into every touchpoint of the guest experience, from uniforms to tableware to the archive-driven design language the group is now known for.The portfolio has grown from Il Pellicano alone to include Mezzatorre on Ischia and La Posta Vecchia outside Rome, with two more properties in the pipeline: La Badia in Umbria and La Suvera in Tuscany. That expansion followed a €200M partnership with Aermont Capital, structured to take the group from three properties to a target of ten to twelve while keeping design, brand, and guest experience decisions in-house. Few operators have built a hospitality brand with this much mythology attached to it, and fewer still have done it while actively resisting the key-maximizing logic that typically comes with institutional capital.Marie-Louise's thesis is that scale and soul are not opposing forces, as long as room count stays intentionally small and every property is allowed its own distinct identity rather than a repeatable format.In this episode, Nadine sits down with Marie-Louise for a rare look inside how Pellicano built its mythology, and what it takes to scale that world without flattening it.INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTSThe sink-or-swim test her father gave her: one bathroom renovation, no formal hospitality training, and a mandate to prove she could deliver a returnMarie-Louise's unfiltered take on copycatsHow the €200M Aermont Capital partnership came together, and what made it different from the other funds that approached the family firstNavigating the tension between a private equity return horizon and a family hotel business built over sixty yearsThe case against key-maximizing, and why Pellicano has refused to scale room count even when the underwriting would support itThe case study of Mezzatorre: opening a hotel in an emerging resort marketMarie-Louise's view on the shift in what defines luxuryLearn more about Pellicano Hotels hereConnect with Marie-Louise on InstagramFollow The Stanza on InstagramSubscribe to The Stanza on Substack

Planning your personal life before your business calendar is not a lifestyle hack. It is the strategy that actually makes the business worth building in the first place.Morgan sits down with Dale Beaumont, founder of Business Blueprint and author of 19 books, to break down the Preloaded Year framework that changed everything about how he builds his business and his life. Dale shares why most entrepreneurs have the order completely backwards, how he went from sleeping six hours a night and still feeling miserable to building a multimillion dollar business while taking four holidays a year, and why structure is not the enemy of freedom but the very thing that creates it.The conversation also unpacks how to plan revenue goals around your life rather than squeezing life into whatever is left of your business calendar, and why doing this consistently over 15 years is how real wealth actually compounds.Listen To The Full Episode Here → https://open.spotify.com/episode/4rgvctcqVZvhNdHbV4hQyZ?si=0E5m29NGR8et786zKiTebgDream Fest Registration

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and for ambitious entrepreneurs, balancing career success with family life can feel like an impossible challenge. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on parenting lessons he's gathered from conversations with world-class guests including Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal, while sharing his own experiences as a father. He explores why success at work shouldn't come at the expense of your family—and why giving up on your dreams isn't the answer either. On this episode we talk about: Why work-life balance is less about balance and more about recognizing different seasons of life. The danger of telling yourself you're working "for your family" while sacrificing meaningful time with them. Lessons on presence and intentional parenting from Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal. How your daily habits teach your children what relationships, priorities, and success look like. Practical ways to be fully present both at work and at home without feeling guilty. Top 3 Takeaways Success and great parenting aren't mutually exclusive. The goal isn't choosing work or family—it's being fully present wherever you are. Children value your attention more than your achievements. Small moments of undivided time often matter more than expensive experiences or material success. Pursue your own dreams while investing intentionally in your family. Both your career and your relationships require deliberate effort, and neglecting either creates long-term consequences. Notable Quotes "Wherever your feet are, be there." "Your kids don't care. They just want to spend some time with you." "Protect, provide, and love. Two out of three isn't enough."

Daily Boost Podcast No One Is Coming to Save You July 24, 2026 | Episode 5505 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Can I give you a little real truth this morning? Not the shiny, feel-good kind — the kind that actually sets you free. Some folks won't want to hear it, but I think you're ready. Today I'm walking you through the handful of things I want you to realize the second your feet hit the floor. They're not soft. They're honest. And once they land in you, everything you're carrying starts to feel lighter. This one might sting a little going in. But stick with me, because freedom is waiting on the other side. Press play and let's get real. Featured Story A client said something to me the other day I can't shake. He told me, sometimes in my business I feel like crabs in a pot. I try to climb out, and the ones still down in the boiling water reach up, grab my legs, and pull me right back in. What a picture, right? I sat with that one. Because that's exactly how it works. You start reaching for your future — something better, something bigger — and the people still stuck in the pot don't cheer you on. They pull. Not because they're cruel. Because misery loves company, your job is to keep climbing anyway. Important Points Nobody got out of bed this morning planning to save you, and accepting that is the most freeing thing you'll do today. You built the cage you're living in, so take full responsibility for exactly where you are before you try to change it. Get willing to sacrifice some of your comfort now, because you can't become someone new while clinging to who you are. Memorable Quotes Nobody's going to save you, and that should be freeing, not scary — it means you get to take care of it yourself. You define what you want by what you're willing to sacrifice, and if you won't trade for it, you don't want it. One of my jobs is to give you the keys to your own cage, but you built it, so you're the one who has to open it. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, wake up and admit nobody is coming to save you, so whatever needs fixing today is now yours alone to handle. Next, take full responsibility for exactly where you are, since you built this position and only you can rebuild it. Then decide what you'll actually trade to become who you want, and put that sacrifice into motion starting this morning.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Mia and Jake, a couple in their late 30s and early 40s in a blended family with three children.
