#945 What if you could make money while you sleep, at Disneyland, or anywhere else — just by creating a simple one-page PDF checklist? In this episode, we're featuring an interview from Nick Loper's Side Hustle Show, where Nick sits down with Chelsea Shelton, a former teacher, mom of three, and digital products coach at Gold City Ventures. Chelsea breaks down how she built a passive income stream selling simple printables and digital downloads on Etsy — think checklists, games, seasonal templates, and fillable forms. She shares how she made her first sale just five days after posting her first product, the research tools she uses to find high-demand, low-competition niches (eRank, EverBee, InsightFactory), and how she's grown her shop to over 700 products. She also touches on expanding to Teachers Pay Teachers, bundling products to increase average order value, and using AI to help with design and ideation. Whether you're looking to build a new income stream or just dip your toes into the world of digital products, Chelsea's story is proof that you don't need a big idea or a design background to get started! What Nick discusses with Chelsea: + First sale in just 5 days + "Riches are in the niches" + Best tools for product research + High search, low competition = sweet spot + Seasonal products run on autopilot + Bundling to increase average order value + Using AI for design and ideation + Expanding from Etsy to Teachers Pay Teachers + 700+ products and counting + Just start before you feel ready Thank you, Nick and Chelsea!

What do you do when phantom hounds howl outside your home? What does it mean when a bird appears at the window? And are Wales's - and England's - death omens mere superstition... or something more? In this episode of the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast, we explore the eerie world of Welsh death omens - from ghost dogs and phantom hounds to mysterious birds said to bring warnings from beyond. Drawing on strange accounts recorded in Wales and beyond, we encounter spectral animals, uncanny coincidences, and stories that left witnesses questioning everything they thought they knew about life, death and the great hereafter. Along the way, we'll meet the mysterious Cŵn Teulu (Family Hounds), revisit old Welsh beliefs surrounding death omens, and examine folklore that has been passed down the generations. Are these simply stories told to make sense of tragedy? Or do they preserve older beliefs about warnings and the unseen world? Expect Welsh folklore, ghost dogs, phantom birds, death omens, supernatural encounters, and some truly strange tales from the darker side of Welsh lore. Tune in now... if you dare.

Send us Fan MailOn the latest episode of The Hot Slice podcast, we chat with Armando DiMeo, owner of Houston-based Coastline Pizzeria. In addition to 12-inch Neapolitan pies, Coastline specializes in grilled pizza. DiMeo explains that he “wanted to create another style of pizza that would … be the opposite of a Neapolitan pizza.” He threw some dough on the grill, and the rest is history … almost. DiMeo tells The Hot Slice that it took him five years to perfect the pizza style, which uses high-gluten flour and a 24-hour ferment in oiled and seasoned sheet trays.Coastline also is innovating when it comes to its rotating seasonal menu. DiMeo shares that anyone at the pizzeria is encouraged to suggest new additions to the craft cocktail, pizza or small plate menu. Not only do staff members get credit on the menu for dreaming up the seasonal dishes, they also earn $1 for each time their item is sold.“It's just about making the team happy – and the customers really see that,” DiMeo tells The Hot Slice, adding that a Cacio e Pepe-inspired Neapolitan pizza was one of the staff suggestions that proved popular with guests. The profit-sharing program has another incentive: building friendly competition among employees.Listen in to this episode to learn more about grilled pizzas, employee-sourced seasonal menu items and more! Podcast NotesCoastline Pizzeria: https://www.coastlinepizzeriahtx.com/Sign up to be notified when registration opens for Pizza Expo Columbus!

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Articulate Fly's Casting Angles series, host Marvin Cash and Mac Brown — owner of Mac Brown Fly Fish and Fly Fishing Guide School in western North Carolina — deliver a timely early summer conditions update for the Tuckaseegee and Nantahala drainages. With the 2026 season running approximately 60 days ahead of schedule, Mac and Marvin unpack what that means for trout anglers trying to calibrate their approach as delayed harvest season closes and technical summer fishing begins.Mac reports that terrestrial activity — inchworms, beetles and ants — is already in full force weeks ahead of its typical July–August window, a direct result of an unseasonable hatch progression that accelerated through spring. The duo walk through the mechanics behind this shift: as aquatic insect biomass declines after the spring hatch season, fish increasingly depend on land-based food sources. Mac's practical adjustment is to fish as though you're two months further into the year than the calendar says, a principle Marvin distills to "add 60 days to whatever date you get on the water."Observation emerges as a unifying theme, with Mac sharing a long-held pre-fishing ritual of reading spider webs and noting dace and creek chub activity as real-time indicators of what's in the system. Their earlier-than-normal presence in early June signals an accelerated biomass cycle and points anglers toward the low-food-chain mindset typical of later in the season.Key TakeawaysHow to recognize when the terrestrial game has turned on using field indicators like inchworm drops, beetles, ants and spider web checks before rigging up.Why applying a "60-days-ahead" mental calendar helps you select flies and tactics that match actual on-the-water conditions rather than the date.How dace and creek chub activity in western NC streams functions as a real-time biomass indicator, signaling the shift toward terrestrial and baitfish tactics.Why reduced aquatic insect biomass in summer demands the same patient, deliberate approach used in fall and winter when the drift is sparse.When to transition from hatch-matching to pure terrestrial presentation after the spring hatch cycle runs its course on freestone streams.Techniques & Gear CoveredThe core tactic is terrestrial fishing with patterns that match what's currently in the streamside canopy and terrestrial zone — inchworms, beetles and ants presented as dry fly or near-surface offerings. Mac and Marvin frame this as a biomass-aware strategy: when aquatic food sources thin out after the spring hatch cycle, fish shift to land-based prey, and tactical fly selection should follow. The episode also references the low-biomass presentation philosophy drawn from fall and winter nymphing — slow-water, deliberate drifts that work when food density is low. Underpinning all of it is Mac's emphasis on observation as a systematic pre-fishing discipline: reading spider webs near the water to identify trapped insects, and tracking baitfish species composition (dace, creek chub) as a proxy for how far the biomass clock has advanced. The approach Mac describes is less about pattern-matching a specific hatch and more about reading the full ecosystem before you ever make a cast.Locations & SpeciesThe episode is anchored in the freestone trout streams of western North Carolina, with specific reference to the Tuckaseegee River drainage and the Nantahala River — two of the region's primary trout fisheries. Mac also references the Great Smoky Mountains Park watershed and the Wesser Creek and Silver Mine Creek confluence on the Nantahala, where his early observation habits were formed during years at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. The primary target species is trout, but the conversation gives notable attention to dace and creek chub as ecological indicators — their appearance in fishable numbers during early June 2026 confirms a biomass cycle running roughly 60 days ahead of a normal season. Seasonal context is central: delayed harvest on the Nantahala and Tuckaseegee has just closed, and the transition to technical dry fly and terrestrial fishing is being compressed by an anomalous spring across the Eastern Seaboard.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do I know which terrestrial flies to use when traditional hatch charts don't apply?Mac advises going directly to streamside observation before rigging up. Look for inchworms dropping on silk threads from overhanging trees, beetles and ants in spider webs near the water, and match what you actually see rather than what the calendar says should be active. In 2026, that means fishing inchworm patterns and terrestrial beetles as early as June — flies that in a normal year wouldn't become primary until mid-July through September.Why does summer trout fishing require thinking about fall and winter tactics?As the spring hatch progression winds down, total aquatic insect biomass in the river drops sharply. Mac and Marvin explain that this low-biomass condition parallels what anglers encounter in fall and winter — fish aren't keying on active hatches so much as opportunistically taking what's available. Anglers who bring the patient, deliberate presentations of fall nymphing into their summer terrestrial game tend to see more consistent results than those who keep chasing hatch windows that have already passed.What does it mean that the 2026 season is running 60 days early, and how should anglers adjust?Mac and Marvin observe that hatches, terrestrial activity and baitfish biomass signals are appearing roughly two calendar months ahead of normal schedule. The practical advice: mentally add 60 days to whatever date you're fishing when selecting flies and tactics. If it's early June, fish as if it were early August — heavy terrestrial focus, lower-profile presentations and an expectation that dace and creek chub are already mixing into the catch alongside trout.How do dace and creek chub help you read western NC stream conditions?Mac explains that the presence of dace and creek chub in significant numbers is a reliable indicator of where the baitfish biomass cycle stands. In a normal year, you don't see these species actively competing in the catch until mid-July; their appearance in early June 2026 confirms the accelerated season. When they're catching alongside your trout in numbers, the system's food chain has progressed to a summer biomass profile — time to shift strategy accordingly.Related ContentS7, Ep 28 - Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS7, Ep 41 - Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 145 - Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130 - Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

In this episode: Seasonal living is often presented as though all Manifestors should experience it in the same way. But what if your rhythm doesn't look like anyone else's? In this episode, Caro explores the deeper nuances of being a non-sacral, cyclical being in a world built around consistency and linear output. She unpacks why some Manifestors thrive with more structure while others need greater flexibility, how chart configuration, nervous system capacity, conditioning, life stage and environment all influence our experience of energy, and why comparing yourself to other Manifestors can be just as damaging as comparing yourself to Generators. Through personal stories, observations from supporting the Manifestor Community, and reflections on her own journey as a 1/3 Emotional Manifestor, Caro explores what seasonal living can actually look like in real life, beyond the theory. Inside this episode: The difference between cyclical and linear living Why no two Manifestors experience energy the same way Defined vs open centers and how they influence capacity Structure versus flow and finding what supports you Hormonal, environmental and life cycles that impact energy Seasonal living in business, relationships and everyday life The dangers of comparing your rhythm to someone else's Questions to help you identify the season you're currently in Resources mentioned: Healing Lounge Business Lounge Manifestor Parent Lounge About Caro: 1/3 emotional Manifestor I am the Community Support Manager at The Manifestor Community. My work centres on creating spaces where Manifestors feel genuinely seen, supported, and connected. Community and support have been central themes in my journey, especially through my work in community management, social media, and virtual support. Before becoming self-employed, my path moved through many roles such as journalism, event coordination, hospitality management, language tutoring, translation, sales, customer support, and content creation. Each of these experiences became an essential piece of the skill set I bring into my work today. I now support aligned clients with their workload, whether through social media or VA-related tasks, bringing structure, responsiveness, and care into everything I do. I've worked alongside Holly for nearly 3 years as Community Manager for The Manifestor Community and also host the Incubator Calls, where connection between Manifestors is at the heart of the experience. Stepping into the role of Community Manager felt like a natural evolution, allowing me to initiate projects and experiences that bring Manifestors together and bridge the work of our wider departments. Originally from Germany and now living in Southern Spain, following the urge to move abroad has been one of the biggest catalysts for my growth. -- Start Here: If you're unsure where you are in your Manifestor journey, begin with our quiz: Where Are You in Your Manifestor Journey?

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with local angler Matt Fauver to discuss his journey into smallmouth bass fishing on the Upper Potomac River and his growing passion for tournament kayak fishing.First things first—I owe everyone an apology for this episode being released later than planned. After spending way too much time troubleshooting camera lag issues, I finally discovered the culprit: a dying camera battery! Thankfully, the technical problems are behind us because this conversation was absolutely worth the wait.Matt is relatively new to targeting smallmouth bass on the legendary Upper Potomac River, and it was refreshing to hear a beginner's perspective on learning one of the East Coast's premier river fisheries. We dive into what attracted him to chasing bronzebacks, the challenges of learning a new fishery, and the lessons he's picked up while fishing one of the best smallmouth bass rivers in the Mid-Atlantic.We also discuss the rapidly growing world of kayak bass fishing tournaments, including what it's like getting started, the gear and mindset needed to compete, and why kayak fishing continues to attract anglers from all experience levels. Whether you're considering your first kayak tournament or looking to improve your river fishing skills, Matt shares valuable insights from someone currently living the learning process.Topics discussed in this episode include:• Upper Potomac River smallmouth bass fishing • Beginner bass fishing tips and lessons learned • Kayak bass fishing fundamentals • Tournament kayak fishing strategies • River fishing techniques for smallmouth bass • Seasonal patterns on the Upper Potomac River • Fishing shallow rocky rivers from a kayak • Learning new fisheries as a bass angler • Potomac River bass fishing opportunities • Smallmouth bass behavior and habitat • Kayak tournament preparation and equipment • How new anglers can get started in competitive fishingIf you're interested in smallmouth bass fishing, kayak fishing, river fishing, bass fishing for beginners, or learning more about the legendary Upper Potomac River fishery, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Please support Fishing the DMV by subscribing, sharing this episode with a fellow angler, and leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcastIf you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com  LMD Enterprises: http://lmdoil.com/  Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/  Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/  Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us  Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168  Flint Financial Planning: https://www.flintfinancialplanning.com/Support the show

Could your skin be reflecting what's happening in your digestive system? Colette explores the Ayurvedic understanding of the gut-skin connection and why true radiance begins from within with Vaidya Kamya Pillai. While modern research continues to uncover the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and skin health, Ayurveda has long taught that healthy digestion, balanced doshas, and proper nourishment are essential for clear, vibrant skin. You'll learn how Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxic accumulation), Rasa Dhatu (the body's primary nourishing tissue) and Ojas (our vital essence), influence skin health and overall vitality. They also discuss how stress, emotions, and nervous system dysregulation can impact both digestion and complexion, and why Ayurveda views beauty as a reflection of internal balance rather than external appearance alone. In this episode you'll discover: The Ayurvedic gut-skin connection The role of Rasa Dhatu in hydration, nourishment, and radiance How Agni and Ama affect skin health The connection between the doshas, stress, and the nervous system in skin health How Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances manifest in the skin Ojas and it's connection to radiant skin Ayurvedic practices to support healthy digestion and glowing skin Why true beauty begins with inner balance Whether you're dealing with acne, sensitivity, inflammation, dryness, premature aging, or simply want to cultivate a healthy natural glow, this episode offers practical Ayurvedic wisdom to support skin health from the inside out. Episode Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy is offering an Ayurvedic Beauty Certification from Kerala Ayurveda Academy. This 100-hour blended program combines authentic Ayurvedic teachings with modern beauty applications, including skin and hair wellness, herbal formulations, face yoga, marma therapy, natural product creation, and hands-on clinical training. Visit the KAA website www.keralaayurveda.us for more information.   Mentioned in this Episode: Episode 92: Ayurvedic Nutrition of the Dhatus   Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community This new online community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

We're premiering the video for ‘Abiotic Factors' – Patricia Wolf's opening dispatch from Gothic, Colorado and the invisible forces that determine whether anything grows at all… Tia and Wil's Music To Watch Seeds Grow By series – the ambient/new-age/planty cassette label has in nine editions, tried to make a compelling case that the best way to understand ambient is to get your hands in some soil and think about it properly. Each artist chooses a plant that inspires their music and can be sown in the month of the release. Simple. Seasonal. You may have noticed it already. For the ninth edition – the third of Season Two – they've brought in Portland, Oregon-based musician and field recordist Patricia Wolf, whose album Yarrow takes its name from Achillea millefolium, a flowering plant whose broad geographic range spans North America and Eurasia, which also happens to make it the perfect conceptual thread to connect Portland (where the music was written and recorded) to London (where the cassette was pressed and will land through your letterbox alongside a packet of yarrow seeds and a fact card about the plant). A transatlantic weed of the most beautiful kind. Wolf is one of the most interesting people quietly operating at the edges of sound art. Her recent arc has taken her from grief (I'll Look For You In Others, 2022) to a kind of luminous rebirth (See-Through, 2022), then to birds – literal birds, in Iceland, for a documentary score (Hrafnamynd, 2025) – and now, with this album, to plants. Specifically, to the invisible forces that determine whether plants live or die at all. Yarrow was created in response to Wolf's artist residency at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado, as part of the Art-Science Exchange Project in the summer of 2024. She worked closely with ecologists Dr Paul CaraDonna, Dr Amy Iler, Dr Jane Ogilvie, Dr Nickolas Waser, Dr Mary Price, and Dr Will Petry, spending weeks embedded in long-term research on plants, pollinators, and their interactions as the climate changes. This is not, in other words, an ambient album about plants in the vague, pastoral sense. It's an album about plants in the way a botanist might describe them: as dynamic organisms in constant, often invisible negotiation with their environment. Which brings us to ‘Abiotic Factors', the album's opening track and the subject of today's premiere. Abiotic factors – for those of us who skipped that particular biology lesson – are the non-living environmental conditions that determine whether an organism can exist at all: light availability, temperature, rainfall, wind, soil composition. They are the infrastructure beneath the visible world, the silent set of forces that a plant cannot choose but must simply work with, adapt to, or perish. As a concept for an opening track, it's contemplative and a perfect orientation into the album… which you'll all hear in its entirety soon little seedlings. The video was shot closer to home – in Wolf's Portland neighbourhood - through the lens of Edward Pack Davee, the filmmaker behind the Hrafnamynd documentary Wolf scored last year.

Send us Fan MailDid you know Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't limited to the winter months? Our good friend and resident mental health expert Jackie Adams returns this week to shed some light on why seasonal depression can sometimes rear its ugly head as the weather warms up.From longer days leading to less sleep, to the pressure of getting your "beach bod" ready (and the self-esteem trouble that comes from not having one), Jackie dives into all of the various factors that might lead to stress, anxiety and depression in the summer. But of course, those factors only tell part of the story - which is why we also discuss the impact of social media and the draining effect of the 24-hour news cycle on our mental health.If you'd like to get in contact with Jackie for therapy or advice, you can send her an email at JackieLAdams@gmail.com, or visit her website for more information.Find us on Instagram @convoswithboomerspod.If you like our show, make sure you follow us on your favourite Podcast player.

What if the biggest summer mistake isn't doing too much, but doing too little with the extra time available?In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins explains why families who treat summer as a time to simply relax often reach Labor Day feeling behind, highlighting the difference between rest and rejuvenation and showing how intentional action can help students build confidence, momentum, and direction for what comes next.Lisa also shares practical strategies to help teens and young adults gain self-awareness, explore future possibilities, build momentum, and enter the fall with greater clarity, confidence, and direction.In this episode, you'll discover:Seasonal habits and their long-term emotional impactThe relationship between unstructured time, responsibility, and personal growthHow young adults respond to uncertainty and expectationsCreating sustainable momentum during periods of transitionKey Takeaways: Unstructured summertime often leads to drift rather than progress, causing many teens and young adults to fall into inconsistent routines, shift their sleep schedules, spend more time on screens, postpone responsibilities, and reach Labor Day feeling anxious about what comes next.While rest helps students recover from the demands of the school year, rejuvenating activities that are life-giving and momentum-building, such as learning new skills, exploring interests, building relationships, and gaining career exposure, are often what create energy, confidence, and forward progress.What looks like a lack of motivation is often a lack of clarity, as many young people feel overwhelmed by expectations from themselves, their families, and their peers, leaving them unsure where to begin and afraid of making the wrong choice.Confidence is usually the result of action, with self-awareness, intentional exploration, networking, and real-world experiences helping students build clarity, motivation, and direction as they take meaningful steps toward future goals. “Families often are sitting there waiting for that motivation first, but momentum is what will create the motivation.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Ready for a different outcome this fall?

Join host Kimmi Devaney as she chats with Jason Shamburg and Nic Schoenberger, founders and managing partners of Kansas Dairy Development (KDD), about raising dairy replacements and leading a dynamic, high-caliber team. KDD is a calf ranch and heifer-raising facility based in Deerfield, Kansas, that raises youngstock for dairy clients in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming. They also operate a calf depot in Wisconsin.  Progression of calves and heifers at KDD:  KDD receives calves at 2 to 3 days of age on average, and calves spend approximately 90 days in bedded hutches with a wire paneled outdoor area. After 90 days, calves are moved into transition barns for approximately 60 days. The transition barns range in size from 480'- 660' in length with individual pens that are 30' wide by 90' deep with a 35' deep roof structure at the back of the pen. Pens are well drained and bedded seasonally with a curtain at the north end of the barn that can be raised and lowered seasonally as conditions require. Calves move to group pens at 150 days of age, which have a significant shade and windbreak structure. Both the group pens and transition barns are bedded heavily to the conditions and needs of the animals throughout the year. At 180-200 days of age, animals are moved to more traditional open lot pens where they will continue to grow until they are moved into the breeding area at approximately 350 days of age. Heifers will be bred according to their voluntary waiting period (VWP) and grown to eventually head back to their respective home dairy at 210 days carrying calf (DCC) on average).  Episode breakdown:  [~1:10] How KDD and the partnership between Shamburg and Schoenberger came together about a decade ago[~2:15] About their calf depot[~4:30] Seasonal management differences, including bedding year round[~7:20] Heifer breeding program[~8:30] Data management[~12:45] Overview of calf ranch and heifer development programs[~13:40] Their client base and how they built those relationships over the last decades[~16:20] Biosecurity[~19:25] Keys to successfully raising heifers[~23:40] How their core values help to shape their team culture[~31:00] Qualities they look for in new employees[~33:05] Keeping employees motivated and engaged[~35:30] The greatest lessons Shamburg and Schoenberger have learned about leading a high-caliber team[~37:45] Schoenberger was recognized by the Holstein Foundation with the 2026 Young Dairy Leaders Institute (YDLI) Distinguished Alumni Leader Award[~39:00] Schoenberger's message for current the YDLI class and what he hopes they gain from their experience[~41:40] Rapid-fire questions

People pleasing is often misunderstood as simply being "too nice," but for many people it's much deeper than that. It can become a nervous system survival strategy shaped by childhood conditioning, fear of rejection, emotional hypervigilance, and the longing to feel safe, accepted, loved, and connected. In this episode, Colette explores people pleasing through the lens of Ayurveda, nervous system healing, and emotional awareness. She shares how these patterns can disconnect us from our true nature and why healing involves much more than simply "setting boundaries" or "learning to say no." Drawing from both Ayurvedic wisdom and her own personal journey, Colette discusses how chronic people pleasing can manifest as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, exhaustion, over-responsibility, insomnia, digestive imbalance, nervous system depletion, and emotional disconnection. She also explores the connection between people pleasing and the nervous system's fawn and freeze responses, and why the body may still perceive boundaries as unsafe even when the rational mind knows they are necessary. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people pleasing is often a nervous system adaptation rather than a behaviour The connection between people pleasing, the fawn response, and freeze response How childhood experiences can shape patterns of self-abandonment The Ayurvedic understanding of people pleasing through Vata and Pitta imbalances Why boundaries alone are often not enough for healing How chronic hypervigilance impacts the body, mind, digestion, hormones, and nervous system How Ayurveda supports nervous system repair, emotional awareness, embodiment, and self-trust Gentle practices to help reconnect with your voice, truth, and authentic self Check out Colette's online services:  Online Consultations - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Private Digestive Reset Cleanse - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/digestive-reset-cleanse Online Daily Habits for Holistic Health Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/daily-habits Reset-Restore-Renew Program - https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/reset-restore-renew Have questions on Colette's online services? Book a FREE 15 min Services Enquiry Call here. https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/consultations Do I have an accumulation of ama/toxins in my body? Take this quiz to find out  https://www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com/resources Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community This new online community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

How is your relationship with solitude vs being social and connecting with others ? A decade ago my relationship with solitude was non-existent. Then, prompted by the pandemic, I went into a few years of mainly solitude, which was perfect and what I needed at that time. Now I'm focusing on a healthy balance between being social and having that so important time alone.

Your audience changes with the seasons, and your marketing should too. In this episode, Emma breaks down the biggest Q2 marketing shifts that brands need to pay attention to as audiences move from winter routines into spring and summer lifestyles. From spending habits centered around experiences to shorter attention spans and increased visibility online, Q2 creates a completely different environment for content consumption and purchasing decisions. This episode explores how brands can create messaging that feels more emotionally relevant during this season by positioning products and services as part of the lifestyle people already want to live. Emma also dives into the importance of confidence-driven marketing, stronger hooks, shorter-form content, and showing proof that your offer actually works in real life. You'll hear why mid-year reflection creates a unique opportunity for brands to help audiences recalibrate their goals, plus how even businesses with outdated or inconsistent marketing can dramatically turn things around with the right strategy.  Listen in as Emma explains: Why Q2 marketing should align with seasonal lifestyle and spending shifts How confidence, visibility, and identity influence audience buying behavior Why shorter videos and stronger hooks matter more during spring and summer And so much more!   Connect with Ninety Five Media: Check out our website: ninetyfivemedia.co Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/ninety.five.media  Grow your brand's social media presence with us:  Tell us about your business goals and explore how our social media management services can help you reach them! ninetyfivemedia.co/stop-scrolling-start-scaling-inquiry  FREE AUDIT What if I told you your content isn't converting, your audience isn't engaging, and it feels like too much work - not because you're failing, but because your social media needs a check-up?

What does it really take to grow a boutique vacation rental management company from a single DIY renovation to more than 115 homes in a tiny, highly seasonal market? Most operators think scaling just means adding more doors, but the reality requires a complete evolution of infrastructure, systems, and leadership.In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Look, the founder of Salt Air Properties. We're unpacking how she walked away from a vice president role in banking to build a thriving, guest-centric operation around Acadia National Park—all while navigating the journey as a single mom.We dive into:The exact guest interaction that pushed her to leave a stable commercial lending career and commit to her hospitality business full-time.Why jumping from 25, 50, 75, and 100+ properties forces a complete systems reset, and the specific tech stack needed to survive the growth.The logistical reality of building a 3,000-square-foot facility to house a commercial laundry operation capable of handling over 40 same-day turnovers.How partnering with local high schools and technical programs for internships solved the seasonal hiring crisis in a rural market.The hard-won lessons of firing problem properties quickly, saying no to misaligned owners, and trusting your gut to protect your team.We pull back the curtain on how a dedicated physical office with morning huddles and professional standards transforms the morale of a seasonal workforce and anchors homeowner trust. You'll hear how to transition from a "basement days" mindset with a paper calendar into a sophisticated enterprise that trains staff to handle high-stress, fast-paced situations without spiraling.If you are trying to scale a short-term rental portfolio in a highly seasonal or rural market, this conversation is your operational blueprint.

With Memorial Day marking the traditional start of summer, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss whether bars having seasonal cocktails that get tremendous acclaim is actually a good thing for those bars when drinkers can't have said cocktails year-round. Do you end up disappointing more than delighting when your limited-time offering goes bye-bye, or is this just a matter of drinkers needing to respect the calendar more?

Why is it so difficult to truly rest, even when we're exhausted? In this episode, Colette explores the deeper Ayurvedic understanding of rest, nervous system regulation, productivity culture, and the relationship between Vata and Pitta imbalance. Many people today are living in a constant state of overstimulation and "doing," leaving the nervous system unable to fully soften and restore. Colette looks at how modern culture often praises dysregulation when it looks productive, why rest can feel emotionally difficult, and how busyness can become a way of avoiding deeper feelings and disconnection from ourselves. She covers the following in this episode: Why many people struggle to truly rest The Ayurvedic understanding of nervous system dysregulation How productivity can become connected to identity and self-worth Why slowing down can sometimes feel unsafe The connection between rhythm, dinacharya and nervous system safety Why summer season can become surprisingly depleting Gentle Ayurvedic practices to calm Vata and soften excess Pitta Reconnecting with enoughness, presence and restoration This episode is a gentle reminder that rest is not laziness or something we earn only after burnout. From an Ayurvedic perspective, rest is an essential part of healing, restoration and sustainable wellbeing.
