Podcasts about saying yes

What would your life look like right now if you had said yes to every single thing that scared you? This episode explores that question with someone who has spent over four decades doing exactly that. Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis, a Swiss-born author, podcaster, life coach, and hypnotherapist who has visited more than 100 countries and speaks six languages, joins host Sana to talk about what saying yes to life beyond comfort really means, why fear is conditioned rather than instinctive, and how to tell the difference between genuine growth and running from your problems. About the Guest: Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis is a Swiss-born author, podcast host, master life coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnotherapist based in Cyprus. A former tour guide and conference interpreter fluent in six languages, she is the author of The Soul Kit and One Suitcase, 1000 Stories, and hosts the podcast Most Memorable Journeys. Key Takeaways: We're only born with two instinctive fears, falling and loud noises, everything else is conditioned, and conditioning can be examined and released. Saying yes to life doesn't mean fear disappears, it means fear stops being the one in the driver's seat. Problems don't stay behind when you leave, low self-esteem and unresolved pain travel with you until you actually face them. You can't control what happens to you, but there's a space between what happens and how you respond, and that space is where your freedom lives. Simple daily practices, deep belly breathing and naming two or three things you're grateful for, can meaningfully shift how overwhelmed or afraid you feel. Connect With the Guest:

In this episode, Aja Diack explores the automatic yes, why saying no can feel emotionally unsafe, and the difference between generosity and people-pleasing.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Ruthie Foster to talk about her new album, Just Say Yes, and the musical journey that gave her such a powerful connection to songs, audiences, and the spirit inside a performance.Ruthie takes me into the making of the record with co-writer and producer Tyler Bryant. We talk about the importance of a great rhythm section, how different drummers can reshape a singer's phrasing, and why Ruthie prefers to step aside and let musicians bring their own interpretations to her songs. She also introduces us to her self-created background vocal group, affectionately known as the “Cheap Inspirations.”We trace Ruthie's story from learning piano and guitar in small-town Texas to studying music in Waco and working as a session singer during her time with Atlantic Records in New York. She reflects on the education she received in studios, songwriter circles, church services, and nearly empty clubs—and how each setting taught her something different about craft, versatility, and connecting with a room.At the center of our conversation is the idea behind Just Say Yes. What began as a reminder to accept professional opportunities has grown into something more personal: saying yes to herself, her family, and what truly matters. We also discuss parenthood, the emotional life of a song, and why Ruthie is still waiting for these new songs to reveal everything they have to teach her.Key TakeawaysRuthie gives the musicians on her albums room to interpret each song and contribute their own musical personalities.Her background as a New York session singer taught her versatility, efficiency, and how to change the timbre of her voice for different projects.Studying music in Waco exposed her to arranging, publishing, copyright, big-band instrumentation, and the business behind a musical career.Growing up in the church taught Ruthie that music begins with feeling and with the ability to change the atmosphere in a room.Songs continue to evolve for her over time, sometimes revealing their full emotional meaning only after years of performance.Just Say Yes looks forward, while her previous album, Mileage, invited her to look back over her life.The album's title has grown from a professional reminder into a commitment to say yes to herself, her family, and the things that matter most.Music from the EpisodeDoubling Back - Ruthie FosterThank You - Ruthie FosterYes - Ruthie FosterHold On - Ruthie FosterAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, creativity, and the people who devote their lives to making sound.

If you've ever lost everything (a business, a marriage, your sense of who you are) this conversation is proof that the collapse isn't the end of your story. Rick Trimmer walks through the exact math he and his wife used to climb out of $640,000 in debt: the thousand-day stretch with no pay, the decade of living on a thousand dollars a month, and the brutal conversations he had with himself and his wife about what they actually wanted. If you're in the hole right now, or you're scared of ever being in it, this is the blueprint for how a man digs out without excuses and without quitting on his family. But this isn't just a comeback story; it's a lesson in delayed gratification and what winning the game really looks like. We'll cover how to build passive income, take advantage of opportunities that scare you, and chose freedom over the appearance of success. If you're tired of chasing a lifestyle you can't afford, or you're ready to start building something that actually lasts, this conversation gives you the mindset and the moves to get there.

Let's talk about what actually happens when desire disappears in a long term relationship… because most people assume their libido is just gone, or something is broken in their relationship, when the truth is usually something completely different. In this episode I'm breaking down how desire actually works, why spontaneous desire is mostly a myth for couples past the honeymoon phase, and the one simple 20 minute practice you can try this week to start feeling connected again without forcing anything. I'm also getting into the difference between duty sex and responsive desire, because those are not the same thing and confusing them is making a lot of people miserable. If you've ever thought something is wrong with you because you don't want sex the way you used to, this episode is for you. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Your desire just works differently now. #SexWithEmily #EmilyMorse #Cheating #Wisdom #Desire Don't miss a video!

What would happen if you stopped trying to control the outcome and truly trusted God with every area of your life? In this powerful conversation, Reagan Kramer sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him. Susie shares why trusting God is more than simply believing He is faithful—it is making the decision to surrender, obey, rest, and follow Him even when the path is difficult or the outcome is unclear. Susie opens up about seasons when her own trust in God was tested, including a powerful story about nearly walking away from speaking because of fear, physical challenges, and concern about what other people might think. Then God used an unexpected encounter with a bold woman to remind Susie that God is the One who called her—and He is the One who will sustain her. That moment challenged her to stop managing the outcome and start trusting God again. Reagan and Susie also explore how the enemy attacks our identity to undermine our trust, why the "little things" can sometimes be harder than the big challenges, and how we can challenge thoughts that don't line up with what Scripture says about who we are. One of the most powerful insights from the conversation is the difference between faith and trust: faith is our vision of who God is, while trust is our decision to act on that belief. Sometimes trusting God means moving forward. Sometimes it means fighting. And sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply resting and saying, "You've got this, God." Susie also shares about becoming more receptive to God's voice, encouraging others, and creating space to hear what God may want to speak into someone else's life. She emphasizes the importance of humility and testing what we believe we've heard from God rather than assuming every impression is automatically from Him. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to ask: What part of your life are you still trying to control because you don't fully trust God? God may be asking you to surrender that area, take a step of faith, rest in Him, or simply say yes to what He's asking you to do. As Susie reminds us, God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above and beyond" what we could ask or imagine—and the journey of trusting Him can transform every part of our lives.

Sometimes faith means taking the next step. Sometimes it means standing and contending. And sometimes it means resting under God's protection and trusting Him to do what only He can do.

In this episode, Sathya sits down with pastor and author Mike Signorelli to explore purpose, sexual addiction, repentance, and what it really takes to experience lasting freedom. Mike shares his unlikely journey from growing up in a difficult environment to discovering his calling at 15 through a series of powerful encounters with God. The conversation then turns to the growing epidemic of pornography and sexual brokenness, with Mike explaining why overcoming addiction requires more than simply stopping a behavior. He discusses the biological, spiritual, and behavioral sides of addiction, the difference between confession and true biblical repentance, and why genuine freedom often requires painful but necessary changes. Mike also unpacks the relationship between deliverance and discipline, using the biblical examples of Saul and David to explain the importance of repentance and keeping the door closed to destructive patterns. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that transformation often involves learning to suffer well, surrendering control, and trusting the Holy Spirit for the strength to walk into a new season of freedom, purpose, and deeper relationship with Christ.    SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good   MIKE'S RESOURCES: Visit the website Explore YouTube channel   Timestamps: 00:00 Mike Signorelli's Journey to His Calling 02:47 The Divine Encounter That Changed Everything 06:18 Mike's First Time Preaching and a Miraculous Healing 09:05 The Power of Saying Yes to God 10:41 Why Sexual Addiction Has Become an Epidemic 11:50 Understanding What It Means to Be “Free Indeed” 13:38 Sin, Repentance, and Demonic Influence 18:36 Confession vs. True Biblical Repentance 23:25 Why Freedom Requires Learning to Suffer Well 26:39 From Deliverance to Discovering Your Destiny 32:55 Why Deliverance and Discipline Must Work Together 37:50 Resisting Temptation vs. the Need for Deliverance

A career without a plan can still take you somewhere remarkable. Meg Bonighton walked into an ANZ call centre at twenty-something looking for nine-to-two work so she could finish her university degree. Sixteen years later she was still there, having led the relaunch of internet banking, built a direct banking brand through a global financial crisis, and closed that same brand with every customer and every team member placed safely on the other side. Then she left. Then she proved herself again at NAB, then Telstra, then the Commonwealth Bank. Now she is doing something that has required its own kind of courage: building something with only her own name on it. This conversation is about what it actually takes to say yes before you feel ready, lead through the moments that test everything, and know when it is time to pack up the kit bag and start again. The Guest Meg Bonighton spent more than two decades in senior executive roles across ANZ, NAB, Telstra and the Commonwealth Bank, working across governance, risk, digital transformation and customer strategy in some of the most complex and scrutinised environments in Australian business. She has led thousands of people through a global financial crisis and a pandemic, sat on boards through both, and built a reputation for creating teams that outlast the moment that made them. She is now stepping into her third arc as a non-executive director and advisor, and starting to give back what a career of saying yes has given her. Highlights The Nine-to-Two Job That Changed Everything. Meg took a part-time call centre role at ANZ to balance finishing her degree. It was meant to last a semester. On a Friday afternoon a few years in, a manager told her he had something for her on Monday and that she was going to say no, but she shouldn't. She spent the entire weekend anxious. The project was the relaunch of ANZ's internet banking. She said yes. That habit of saying yes to the things that felt too big became the thread that ran through everything that followed. When Someone Sees You Before You See Yourself. A recurring theme across Meg's career is leaders who backed her before she had backed herself. Her answer to imposter syndrome, when a senior leader told her she was offended by the very concept, reframes what self-doubt actually means: the organisation has done its due diligence. You were chosen. Get on with it. It is advice she has passed on to every person she has led since. The Day She Closed the Brand She Built. After leading a direct banking brand through the global financial crisis, Meg had to stand up in front of her team and tell them it was closing. She had not slept. She braced for questions about jobs. The first question she received was about the customers. She nearly burst into tears. Every team member was placed before she left. That moment, she says, is the clearest measure of the culture a leader actually builds. Leading Thousands Through a Pandemic, Across Three Countries, From Two States. At Telstra, Meg ran global contact centres across three countries while simultaneously sitting on the TelstraSuper board during a period of unprecedented member withdrawals, homeschooling her children in Melbourne, and sharing childcare with her partner in Sydney. She describes it as peak hat. What she took from it was clarity: that crisis strips away everything except what actually matters, and that is where people find out who they are as leaders. The Third Arc. After two decades of building inside other people's organisations, Meg is now building inside her own. She calls this her third arc, and it is not a wind-down. It is the deliberate choice to take every wicked problem, every lesson, every team she has ever led, and put it to work differently. She is learning Italian badly and relearning tennis from scratch. Both, she says, are teaching her something she keeps needing to remember: that humility is not weakness. It is the fastest way to learn. Quotes "I stood up in front of the team and told them the brand was closing. I was expecting the first question to be about jobs. Instead it was, what happens to our customers? I nearly burst into tears. That was the power of what we had built." "Say yes to something that is going to build out your kit bag, and all the more so if it is coming from someone or somewhere you trust. It is another way of feeling the fear and doing it anyway. You will create a beautiful story for yourself along the way." Reflection The kit bag is a simple idea. Every yes adds something you carry forward. Every hard season, every role that tested you, every team you had to lead through something nobody prepared you for. Meg has been packing hers for more than twenty years. Listening to this conversation, I found myself thinking about my own. What is in it. What I almost left behind. And what I am still building the courage to add.   Connect with Meg Bonighton: LinkedIn  This episode is brought to you by: Cell Wellness Co | Naturally Glutenfree Connect with Kirsty Ghahramani (Gee):  LinkedIn |  Instagram | Website

Saying Yes to God's Heart for the World (Jonah: A Story of Running and Returning—Part 6) Pastor Dave Larmour Download

What happens when the person who's supposed to be saving lives is quietly fighting to save his own? This week, we're revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with Dr. Jason Giles, whose story takes us behind the white coat and into the realities of addiction, burnout, recovery, and redemption. While training in anesthesiology, Jason found himself caught in a devastating fentanyl addiction. From the outside, he was a successful physician-in-training. Behind the scenes, he was struggling to survive. Then came a moment that changed everything. In this deeply personal conversation, Jason shares the events that led to his addiction, the pager message that helped save his life, and the long road toward rebuilding his health, identity, relationships, and medical career. We also dig into a side of addiction that often gets overlooked: it isn't always simply about chasing a substance. Sometimes it's about escaping pressure, pain, exhaustion, or a life that has become impossible to sustain. In This Episode: How the pressures of medical training contributed to Jason's downward spiral His experience with fentanyl addiction while in anesthesiology residency The moment that became a turning point in his life Why high achievement can hide serious dysfunction The connection between physician burnout, identity, and addiction Why addiction is more complicated than physical dependence What recovery taught Jason about surrender and asking for help Rebuilding a career and life after addiction Why saying “yes” can completely change the trajectory of your life Hope, redemption, and the possibility of creating something meaningful after your darkest chapter Jason's story is raw, uncomfortable, hopeful, and a reminder that even the people who appear to have everything together may be fighting battles no one else can see. If you missed this conversation the first time around—or need to hear it again—this one is worth revisiting. CONNECT WITH BS FREE MD Stay connected with Drs.

#441 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with listeners about courage, surrender, and the moments when life pushed someone to stop resisting what they already knew needed to change. He shared a vulnerable story from 2005 when a breakup, financial struggle, a failed stock trading dream, and a cycling accident in Sydney all collided at once. Looking back, he said that painful season had become a wake-up call from the universe, showing him that he had been pushing toward money and success while ignoring deeper wounds of unworthiness and misalignment.  Guy explained how being forced to slow down led him to watch health and nutrition seminars, follow a deeper calling, and eventually create 180 Nutrition from a more heart-led place. He encouraged listeners to stop resisting the signs in their own lives, trust the deeper wisdom guiding them, and take bold, courageous action while remembering that life was fragile, precious, and full of possibility. ====================  Guy's Official Partners  The DNA Company – Get 10% Off https://thednacompany.com/letitinpodcast  FLFE – 2 Week Free Trial (No Credit Card Required) https://www.flfe.net/rp-affiliates.php?p=LiveInFlow&w=TryFLFEfree ====================  Referenced in This Episode Tony Robbins Wayne Dyer Deepak Chopra ====================  Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - The Courage to Stop Resisting Where Life Is Taking You!

Mark Moore, New Testament scholar and teaching pastor at Christ Church of the Valley, joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast to discuss his new book The Missing Messiah (co-authored with Kyle Idleman). He unpacks how modern culture has softened Jesus into a comfortable figure and why recovering biblical masculinity—rooted in responsibility, brotherhood, and Jesus as both Savior and Warrior-King—is essential for men, families, and society.

Full Moon in Aquarius: A Unique ViewWhat I really like about Astrology are the clues this unique guidance system provides for daily life pointers, insight, and direction.  Aquarius is said to be the sign of Astrology.  The recent  Full Moon in Aquarius occurred on July 29th at 6 degrees, though the effects will continue to be felt as the Moon energy connects with the Solar Eclipse in Leo around August 12. This is a sensational opportunity to “meet and greet others, and start the process of remembering who you are”. This is a great time to promote social groups and friendly encounters.  During this Moon, people are eager to talk and exchange mutually beneficial thoughts and ideas.Saying Yes to Yourself:  Remembering Who You areAre you ready and willing to trust that your vision, in some important area of your life, is calling you forward, and wants to be expressed through you?  Aquarius is the sign of "Cosmic Consciousness".  This means through the faculty of intuition each person has the ability to see and understand the future.  The way this deep awareness occurs, is that you have to be willing to say "yes" to the most authentic version of yourself.  Remembering who you are from the inside out.Saying yes to yourself means turning from all of the "naysayers" about who and what you are suppose to be or do. This is definitely a tall order, because we have been socialize to belief others outside of ourselves know more or better than we do about who we are.  As indicated previously, trusting that you are enough, and acknowledging that how you see things may very well be different, but is no less viable than someone else's view of life.Every chart has its  Uranus“Genius Zone” the planet guiding Aquarius. Find the Aquarius area(s) in your chart and draw a circle around the house cusps.What house(s) offers you space for your new vision and purpose through connecting with Aquarius?How do you feel the vital energy that's moving you toward your unique direction, and helping to break free from the mind “chains” .What gift, ability and/or talent are asking to be brought forth?In the sign of the “water-carrier” there's excitement in the air.  As an air sign, Aquarius represents collective group awareness, in particular trends, mass movement and major societal changes. One major topic that heads the list of Aquarian concerns are questions of humanitarianism, a massive global dilemma affecting every country in the world. Check out the kinds of subjects that  are trending on social media.  Aquarius is ruled by the planet of “sudden and often disrupting happenings”, Uranus is  also known as the sign of technology, specifically the Internet.  Uranus co-ruler/guide with Saturn is currently in Gemini. This is a powerful placement because Gemini is aligned with communication, and Aquarius is connected with technology and revolutionary change.  As you look around, the current "buzz" is fixated on AI, and yet the most powerful expression of technology is possessed by every being on the planet.  The difficulty is that people have forgotten that we are the power... so the real technological revolution is when people start remembering who we are.In many ways, Aquarius is the messenger that  is asking everyone, as part of the collective whole, to consider what she or he is willing to contribute toward a new and more just world vision, which includes all people?  This is part of the remembering process that humanity is undergoing.  Aquarius is an upfront sign. Its signature is about doing things differently from what has been done in the past. Much of the social, economic, and overall planetary upheaval has to do with the collective group acknowledging what is not viable, and how the “old order” has disavowed the differences and diversity of the branches on the“human tree”.   Yes, the human tree.  The designation of people by skin color groups, gender status, religious affiliations, socioeconomic worth, lineage, ancestors,nationality, etc, are used to keep from seeing our shared humanity.  Seeing these categorizations for what they are, is part of the "remembering process"Where in your life are you experiencing the need to make major changes? At the same time, how and what can you contribute to the group effort to shift the world's energy toward more light, and real positive direction?  What do you need personally, to feel comfortable,supported and nurtured in stepping out to share your unique visions and ideas?Aquarius as a  fixed sign brings focus and often a single-minded direction  to your life. This moon time offers a time of clarity, new ideas and inspiration.From planetary and natural world perspective, this is the “in between, liminal” space.  Aquarius is the sign of the "Seer".This is a time that feels like a need to hide away, yet it can be truly empowering if you accept your “Aquarian Calling” and claim your special place in life.  In essence, we each have to be willing to embrace self-love through “being totally enough” This Full Moon is shining on you, and your unique view. Is there something that you've been toying with for awhile?  It's time to go for it !  Perhaps people around you may look at you with raised eyebrows, but there are others who are ready for the changes that you are offering, and are in full support of your vision(s)!   Even though there are many topics and subjects that are weighty, and perplexing, connecting with others in a fun and enjoyable way makes everything easier.  The summer Sun is sitting in Leo with support from Jupiter also in Leo, which in astrological terms is in the opposing position to Aquarius.  Even though these signs are sitting opposite one another, I actually see them working together as complements. Leo calls for being in the spotlight of your own radiant self-knowing.  One way to use this astrological partnering is for social connection and to have fun, where people can communicate and enjoy each other's company. When we play together, we create more “heart space”. With more “heart vision”,  we can hear one another better, and see our way with more understanding, clarity, and wisdom.  Embrace Your Freedom that's Waiting for You. Let's have an Astrology Conversation.  I look forward to seeing you.  Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.  As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by  recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius".

Success isn't measured by what you build—it's measured by what you do with what God has entrusted to you.In this inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with entrepreneur and ministry leader Ben Clark to share a story of perseverance, faith, and using business as a platform to impact lives around the world.Ben is the owner of B-Unlimited, a successful licensed collegiate apparel company, but his journey to entrepreneurship was anything but easy.Growing up, Ben struggled with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and a poor self-image. School was incredibly difficult, and he often felt like the underdog. He experienced failure after failure and never imagined the path God had planned for him.Instead of allowing those struggles to define him, God used them to build resilience, character, and dependence on Him.Starting with almost nothing, Ben slowly built his business from the ground up. Every dollar he earned went back into growing the company. There were no shortcuts, no wealthy investors, and no overnight success—just years of perseverance, hard work, and trusting God through every setback.But after experiencing business success, God began stirring Ben's heart for something greater.Following a mission trip to Uganda through his church, Ben recognized that many aspiring entrepreneurs had incredible ideas but lacked mentorship and guidance. Rather than simply giving financial assistance, God inspired him to help equip business leaders with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for success.That vision became Bold Creators.Today, Bold Creators connects experienced business leaders with entrepreneurs in Uganda, helping them build sustainable businesses, create jobs, strengthen families, and transform communities—all while sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.Throughout the conversation, Ben reminds listeners that success isn't about titles, wealth, or recognition.True success is using your gifts to serve others and saying "yes" when God opens a door.Ben encourages listeners to:Trust God through every season.Don't let failure define your future.Invest in people, not just projects.Stay grounded in God's Word.Get involved in a Christ-centered community.And never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience.You don't have to be perfect for God to use you.You simply have to be willing.What is one opportunity God may be asking you to say "yes" to today?Connect with Ben Clark:

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to miss your kids' childhood is to keep telling yourself you'll show up more “when work slows down.” Casey sits down with Korey Cutlip to talk about the moment Korey flipped the switch to become a “Yes Dad,” and what that actually looks like when you're juggling a marriage, three kids in different life stages, and a demanding job. We get specific about time, trade-offs, and why those small “yes” decisions become the memories your kids carry into adulthood.Korey opens up about the values he learned growing up, what he had to relearn as an adult, and why counseling can be one of the strongest moves a dad makes. We dig into humility, honesty, people-pleasing, and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. If you've ever felt stuck in family dynamics or unsure how to lead at home without letting ego run the show, this conversation offers real fatherhood advice you can use right away.We also follow Korey's career change story from the service industry to construction to buying Regal Auto Care in Auburn, Washington.

You didn't actually want the second slice of cakeOr the extra glass of wineOr to polish off the snacks just because everyone else wasSo why did you say yes anyway?If you've ever found yourself eating something you weren't even hungry for simply because someone offered it then this episode is for youInside, I'm unpacking exactly why you're doing this (and spoilers: it's nothing to do with willpower) so you can start reclaiming your autonomy around food again without having to guilt trip yourself or start another restrictive dietWe'll explore:✨ Why saying "yes" often feels safer than honouring what you actually want✨ The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in people-pleasing around food✨ Why this isn't just affecting your eating (it shows up across your whole life)✨ The simple questions to ask yourself that will uncover what's really driving the behaviour and start to shift itP.S.

As we continue our Steubenville SOUTH Summer Series, Kristi sits down with three different guests whose stories all point to the same truth: God works through willing hearts.First, Jennifer and Carmen share how a simple invitation from their daughters grew into a thriving youth group in Iota, Louisiana. What started with just four teens became nearly sixty students through unexpected generosity, faithful leadership, and a community that rallied behind the next generation.Next, Fr. Tom Wilson joins us from Minnesota to share his incredible vocation story—from CPA to Catholic priest—and offers wisdom for anyone discerning God's call on their life. He also reflects on why Steubenville conferences continue to be such a powerful launching point for young Catholics.Finally, high school student Dale Simon shares what Steubenville has meant to his own faith journey, the impact of Adoration, and why he believes every teen should experience a weekend like this.In this episode: How one "yes" transformed a parish youth ministry  God's provision through an entire community  A priest's journey from accounting to the altar  Why Steubenville continues to impact generations  A teen's perspective on encountering Christ in Adoration  Encouragement for anyone discerning God's call Support the show

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're leading your business but because you're carrying responsibilities that were never yours in the first place?Burnout doesn't always come from working too many hours. Sometimes it comes from accepting responsibility for outcomes you can't actually control. In this episode, Dawn unpacks the leadership shift that helped her stop carrying jobs nobody hired her to do and why so many female founders unknowingly fall into the same trap.If you're constantly rescuing your team, reclaiming delegated work, or feeling like everything eventually lands back on your desk, this episode will help you redefine your role, strengthen your leadership, and create healthier ownership throughout your business.If you're tired of being the person every decision flows through, start by strengthening your leadership with AI.

Guest Melanie Boyd, BS, RDH, and founder of New Wave Perio, discusses her journey from dental school rejection to building a successful dental hygiene business centered around periodontal endoscopy. She faced challenges in dental hygiene school, navigated self-doubt, learned to accept constructive feedback, pushed herself to explore different career opportunities with her RDH degree, and used all this experience to build her business model. This is a story that showcases how crucial it is to be comfortable being uncomfortable- because that's how greatness is achieved.

We revisit this powerful episode, where James and Father Dom chat with then, newly ordained transitional Deacon (now Father!), Logan McGahan to talk about what the Church desperately needs more of: real vocations, absolute obedience, and total surrender to Jesus Christ.This isn't a sanitized vocation story. Deacon Logan pulls back the curtain on his journey from a childhood call to the priesthood through years of denial, drugs, alcohol, and distraction—all leading to a decisive moment where God demanded a clear answer: Yes or No.Subscribe to our Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ Check out our website https://www.themanlycatholic.com/ Shop our https://the-manly-catholic-store.checkoutstores.com/ Get delicious coffee from https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/ Download https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/ to access the incredible TAN Library!

We are kicking off a brand new week, which means a brand new theme: guarding the gate. Today, I am breaking down the true cost of being an undefended man, and why having no boundaries doesn't make you generous. It makes you completely unguarded. I'm getting vulnerable about my own past mistakes where I used to say yes to absolutely everything and sharing the hard truths I've learned from coaching over 15,800 people. It is time to lock down your ecosystem and stop letting the enemy walk right through your front door. Key Topics Discussed: Manifesting Reality: I want to remind you that what you believe in your heart and think in your mind will eventually become your words and your physical reality. What you repeatedly do becomes an unconscious activity ingrained in your subconscious mind. The Cost of the Undefended Man: Every single "yes" you didn't mean, every line you let slide, and every voice you let in becomes the exact crack the devil uses to walk right into your life. Discernment vs. Boundaries: I explain the critical difference between the two: discernment decides what is allowed to get in, and boundaries decide what stays out. Protecting Your Family & Ecosystem: I share real-life examples of how to hold your walls. Whether it's shutting down men who disrespect women in your presence, blocking out the haters who say 85% of small businesses fail, or refusing to let anyone project that your son will be a "lady killer" instead of an honorable man—you have to protect your ecosystem. The Week Ahead: I break down our podcast schedule for this week. Monday and Tuesday are philosophical and strategic, Wednesday and Thursday are tactical, and Friday is pure motivation. I'll be back tomorrow to discuss the massive difference between being "nice" versus being discerning. Final Takeaway: You have to stand up for your ecosystem and say no when things don't align with your ethics and morals. Stop leaving the door open for dark forces to enter your life.

What if one of the biggest reasons you're emotionally eating during menopause has nothing to do with food? In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that uncovered a pattern I see in so many women in menopause. The habit of saying "yes" when your body is desperately asking you to say "no." We often believe we're being loving, helpful, or selfless, but when we repeatedly ignore what we truly want, the emotional discomfort doesn't disappear. It often shows up through overeating instead. I also explain how people-pleasing can quietly fuel emotional eating, why learning to recognize your body's signals is the first step toward change, and how practicing awareness can help you begin honoring yourself without guilt. You don't have to start by making huge changes. Sometimes simply noticing when you want to say no is where everything begins to shift. Enjoy the show!

Kelly Nierstedt never planned to lead a hospital. She is a first-generation college graduate who worked on Wall Street out of high school, went to nursing school as a second career, and wanted nothing more than to be the best labor and delivery nurse she could be. Then the taps on the shoulder started. Take on this project. Take on this unit. Take on another. Today, Kelly is the president of Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center, one of the largest and most complex hospitals in Florida and home to the region's Level 1 Trauma Center — and senior vice president of the Orlando Region. She got there without an MBA, without a finance background, and without ever checking all the boxes first. In this episode of Inspiring Women, Laurie McGraw sits down with Kelly to trace the path from the bedside at Hackensack University Medical Center, to leading OSF Healthcare Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria — where she built a care-closer-to-home model so families no longer had to drive four hours to Chicago — to becoming the inaugural president of Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, one of the busiest delivery hospitals in the nation. Then came the second yes: leading the adult flagship hospital, where the one thing they don't do is the one thing she was trained in. Laurie and Kelly met at the Women Business Leaders Conference, where Kelly spoke about complexity in healthcare today. Topics Covered: - From Wall Street in the late 80s to nursing school on loans — a second career with no roadmap - Why Kelly said yes to every tap on the shoulder, and the Plan B mindset that made her fearless - Why women wait to check every box before saying yes — and why she never did - The move from New Jersey to Peoria, Illinois, and convincing a resistant leadership team with data - Recruiting physicians to middle America — and why they stayed - Interviewing for the Winnie Palmer presidency while on vacation in Fort Lauderdale - Why she puts on scrubs in every role: answering phones, filling water jugs, showing the team she cares - Walking into a Level 1 Trauma Center as a mom-baby nurse — and why not knowing made her a better leader - Four years in, every member of her original team is still there or has been promoted - "The keeper of the culture": what a hospital president actually does - Why her team members — not patients — are the most important people in the building - Move fast, fail fast: why healthcare's caution can leave patients behind - Transforming a large, tactical board into a smaller, strategic, deliberately diverse one - The patient suicide that shook her — and the board meeting where she cried, said "I'm not doing well," and was met with open arms - Her advice to senior women executives: you're not perfect, no one expects you to be, and vulnerability will serve you Kelly's story is proof that the path to the top doesn't require a pedigree — it requires the courage to say yes before you feel ready, the humility to learn from the experts around you, and the heart to never lose sight of who you're serving. As she puts it: "We're not perfect. We're just people trying to do a good job every day. Be open about that, and you will be just fine." Inspiring Women is hosted by Laurie McGraw, Chief Commercial Officer at Transcarent, former SVP of the American Medical Association, former President of Allscripts, and a 30-year healthcare executive committed to advancing women into leadership.

Saying yes to opportunities you haven't planned for is where the best moments of your life actually happen. Not the milestones. The moments. On the Fourth of July, my friend Nicole and I drove a 1960s golf cart straight into a parade we weren't part of. No permission, no plan, just a "what if" and a "let's do it." What happened next changed how I think about my calendar, my business, and every opportunity I've been too scheduled to notice. Here's what I get into: The real reason we chase certainty when we say we want freedom, and what it costs us A moment from that Fourth of July that shows exactly how opportunity actually shows up (hint: it never looks like opportunity) The one skill most entrepreneurs skip that would tell them whether they're hearing intuition or just fear If you've been waiting for permission to say yes to something that isn't on the plan, this one's for you.

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. This week's episode is a personal story about what it really means to have a business built around your life, one that lets you say yes to the people and moments that matter most, even when they show up without warning. Elizabeth shares the story of reconnecting with a childhood best friend during a hard season, dropping everything for a week to help her, and what that trip revealed about the freedom in entrepreneurship she has spent years building toward.   This episode is for anyone who has ever felt torn between showing up for their business and showing up for their people, and anyone quietly wondering if entrepreneurship is actually giving them the freedom they were promised. Elizabeth talks through the guilt that can creep in before saying yes to something big, the difference between building a life around a business versus a business around a life, and why community, both personal and professional, is not optional. She also gets honest about what it felt like to unplug for an entire week and trust that her business would still be there when she got back.   If you needed a reminder that the whole point of this was never just the business itself, this one is for you. Take a listen, and let yourself sit with the question: what is your business actually allowing you to do?

Having led through 9/11 at the Pentagon, the national anthrax response, and medical training on the ground in Ukraine, Dr. Mayer brings a career forged under the highest pressure imaginable to challenge everything we think we know about what it means to lead.Nick and Dr. Mayer explore why the concept of leadership has become dangerously hollow, why every person on your team is already a leader whether you treat them that way or not, and why innovation never moves at the speed of genius but always at the speed of trust. They unpack the critical difference between bravery, courage, and tenacity, why making failure your fuel is the foundation of elite performance, how victim mentality disappears the moment people own their agency, and why calling someone a future leader is one of the most toxic things you can say. They also examine how AI is being dangerously misused as a substitute for leadership wisdom and why luck is really just a discipline meeting opportunity.In a world where trust is eroding, burnout is rising, and pressure is relentless, this episode makes the case that the leader you have been looking for has been there all along and it is you.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop talking about leadership and start actually leading.Enjoyed this?

My guest for this and next week's podcast episodes is author, speaker, and ministry founder Marilyn Johnson, who joins me from England to share her remarkable story of healing and faith. Marilyn's book, Divine Revelation: The Ten Ways God Heals, was born out of her own journey of restoration. In this first episode, she recounts the difficult experience of becoming pregnant at age eighteen by a man in his thirties who abandoned her. Alone, frightened, and facing judgment from her church, Marilyn found little support from those around her. Even her parents, struggling with their own limitations, did not know how to help her navigate the crisis. At one of the darkest moments of her life, Marilyn considered terminating her pregnancy. Yet it was there that God met her in a profound way. He challenged her to trust Him with both her unborn child and her future. Marilyn chose to say yes. That decision marked the beginning of a life-changing journey of intimacy with the God who loved her completely and without reservation. Her story is a beautiful testimony of grace, redemption, and the healing power of God's faithful presence.   Connect with Marilyn:  https://www.marilynjauthor.com/ Her Book: Divine Restoration: The Ten Ways God Heals https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GVDQF5V4     To inquire about counseling, email Louise at Louise@louisesedgwick.com.

What do you do when a brilliant, Oxford- or Cambridge-educated graduate walks into your office, chronically late, completely uncommitted to the business, but undeniably sharp? If you're Mike Harle, you don't fire them—you tell them to follow their heart and join the circus. This week, we sit down for an exclusive, world-first public interview with Mike Harle, the former UK Chief Marketing Officer of Shell. In a legendary two-minute conversation around the year 2000, Mike looked past the corporate KPI metrics of a young, nervous junior executive named Jimmy Carr and gave him the ultimate piece of career advice: Do give up your day job. In this episode, Mike shares the fascinating backstory behind one of comedy's most famous career pivots, why he turned down an exclusive UK deal with a struggling new startup called Red Bull, and what it truly means to manage potential over performance.
