In this Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode we catch up with adventurer and outdoor writer Nicola Hardy—also known for becoming Munroist #6,765 after summiting all 282 of Scotland's Munros. Nicola left behind a decade-long career in IT to pursue a life filled with mountains, maps, and meaningful adventure. Since our first conversation in March 2022, Nicola has continued to embrace the outdoor life with passion—working part-time to support her adventures and dedicating the rest of her week to exploring the hills and trails she loves. In this episode, Nicola shares what she's been up to over the last few years, including writing her first guidebook: Peak Bagging Munros: Volume 1. We talk about the process of creating the book, linking routes efficiently across the Highlands, and her experiences hiking internationally—from Switzerland's Alpine Passes Trail to her first solo trip abroad on the Coronallacs route in Andorra. Nicola is honest about the practicalities of outdoor life—from parking anxiety and budget travel to the importance of finding community in the outdoors. With future dreams like hiking New Zealand's Te Araroa Trail, her journey is far from over. If you're passionate about mountains, guidebooks, or building a life around what you love—this episode is for you.

Financial Coaches Network - The Podcast: Build your Financial Coaching Business
We began a new series about analyzing the gurus! We'll be spending time discussing several big personal finance names, their recommendations, and why we do or do not agree with those. Josh and Emily discuss Tori Dunlap, her philosophy of capitalism, financial feminism, and her steps for getting control of your finances. Top takeaways: Not participating in a system you don't like (e.g., capitalism) may hurt you more than the system. Advice geared towards the general public is generally better than specific advice targeting males or females. Actionable steps are more helpful than philosophical ideas. Working on mindset at the same time as working on improving your finances is likely more effective than working just one or the other alone. Research shows that men tend to get back to their pre-divorced net worth within a decade while many women never reach it, primarily due to which assets they each tend to choose. In divorce, women tend to choose family oriented non-income producing assets (e.g., home), while men tend to take income producing assets such as investment accounts. Overly simplistic advice (supposedly for everyone), doesn't actually work for anyone. Separating high interest debt vs. low interest debt is in general a good idea, though the break point depends on current inflation. The 3 bucket budget system can be a good tool if it fits your particular situation, though there are many others available as well. Having an accountability partner can help when deciding what budget items are a necessity vs. a want. Overly simplistic investment advice can be dangerous (e.g., all investments have an upward trajectory at some point, but they don't forever). Performance is not the most important factor to look at when choosing investments.

In a time of cultural divides and political tension, what is the church's role in bringing healing and truth to a fractured society? This episode dives into the complex intersection of faith, politics, and justice, exploring how Christianity can navigate today's challenges with humility, love, and a commitment to Jesus' teachings. The hosts reflect on the prophetic responsibility of naming reality, addressing idolatrous uses of faith in politics, and embracing cruciformity—a call to sacrificial living that resists cultural compromises. Drawing insights from Pastor Ara's compelling story and his courageous leadership amidst injustice, the discussion delves into the urgent need for the church to stand against systems of oppression while maintaining a posture of love and nonviolent resistance. From the misuse of scripture in political narratives to the dangers of intertwining faith with partisan ideologies, this conversation challenges Christians to reclaim the radical, inclusive power of the gospel. Join this thought-provoking dialogue as the hosts grapple with the church's responsibility to embody justice, resist cultural corruption, and remain a kingdom-focused community. We encourage you to share your thoughts and engage in this essential discussion on faith, theology, and navigating cultural issues. Together, we can pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in these divided times.

In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we're talking about some of the most common requests on modern birth plans—delayed cord clamping, immediate skin-to-skin contact, skipping the eye ointment, and the vitamin K shot. Are these preferences backed by science, or are they just trends? Dr. Renda Knapp, OB-GYN, and Dr. Rachel Schultz, pediatrician, break down the latest evidence behind each of these choices so you can feel informed and empowered—not overwhelmed—when making your birth plan. We'll cover what the research says, what's safe, what's optional, and what really matters most in those first few minutes after birth. If you're creating a birth plan or just curious about what's recommended, this episode is for you.
In life, we will encounter many distractions. Online drama, gossip, pettiness, silly arguments, and more can pull us away from our life path: achieving our life purpose, healing, helping others, and becoming self actualized. In this episode, I talk about the difference between signal and noise in life, how easy it is to be distracted away from what really matters. I also discuss feminine and masculine energy and how they relate to self-regulation, impulsivity, self-control, and whim - why this is all relevant to witchcraft skills - and why this matters for living a good and aligned life. -Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today, I'm joined by a special guest, Sarah Lovell—an executive function and ADHD coach who brings so much value for both our work with students and our own professional and personal lives. Sarah Lovell (she/her) is an executive function & ADHD coach for college students, ambitious professionals, overthinkers, and recovering perfectionists who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready to work with their brains, not against them. With 11 years of experience, Sarah helps clients who try tool after tool… only to burn out or blame themselves when nothing sticks. She helps you understand why it's so hard to get started (even on things you want to do!) and make sustainable changes in a way that feels good. Sarah's background in social work grounds her work in compassionate practices, believing self-talk and self-care are the foundations for executive functioning. Along with 1:1 coaching, she runs a membership, Stuck to Started, that gives you extra support and accountability. She also hosts From Stuck to Started podcast, where she shares realistic, actionable strategies in 20 minutes or less. When Sarah isn't coaching, she enjoys trail walks with her dogs, snuggling up with tea and a good book, and paddleboarding. Summer Summit Replay Access Did you miss Summer Summit? It's not too late! When you join IMPACT, my monthly membership for school counselors, you'll get access to all of the Summer Summit session recordings, along with PD hours. Sarah's session is one you don't want to miss. She shares how nervous system regulation supports executive functioning and practical tools to apply these strategies in your life and with students. Sneak Peek: Sarah's Summer Summit Session In her session, From Overwhelmed to Organized, Sarah discusses the connection between executive functioning and nervous system regulation: When our nervous system is dysregulated, it becomes hard to access our executive functioning tools. Self-talk is a foundation for executive function, but regulation must come first. She walks through tools for both hyperarousal (anxiety, fight/flight) and hypoarousal (low energy, disconnection), including: Breathing and grounding exercises Somatic movement, like balance or tapping Separating planning from action to reduce overwhelm A Day in Sarah's Life Sarah supports a wide range of adults: college students, women with ADHD, entrepreneurs, and business owners. She holds 1:1 coaching calls, runs a supportive membership, produces podcast content, and handles the daily marketing and admin needs of her business. Advice for Counselors “Self-talk is the foundation!” Whether you're feeling stuck, procrastinating, or overwhelmed, it starts with self-awareness. Understand the difference between procrastination and being stuck. Take a pause, name what you're experiencing, and give yourself credit along the way, not just when you meet the goal. Bonus: Free Live Training This July! School is starting soon, and I'm offering a free live training on how to use a Meet-the-Counselor lesson to connect with students and advocate for your role!

In this deeply honest episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey revisit the rupture they first discussed after their NYC trip — but now, they're speaking from the other side of a powerful coaching session with their person, Dr. Joli Hamilton.They explore how separating roles in their partnership has transformed the way they handle feedback, support, and stress. Lauren introduces the term “Vision Carrier,” a phrase that finally captures the role Trey has long played in her life. At 10:42, Lauren shares the moment she felt real validation — when their coach and Trey both affirmed that her critique of Trey's self-awareness wasn't too much, it was spot-on.They discuss how denial of her feelings touched on old wounds of gaslighting from her first marriage, and how they are both working to repattern their safety-seeking behaviors in real time.And even though the work is hard (Lauren shares she felt physically sick before the session), they're recommitting to a partnership where love is prioritized over comfort.Timestamps:00:00 NYC rupture recap & coaching session reflection04:51 “Vision Carrier” and role separation10:42 The moment Lauren felt less “crazy”14:45 The difference between critique and cruelty20:30 Trey's repatterning work26:00 Love vs. comfort in partnership✨ Want to learn relationship tools like the ones we shared today?Request a free 15-minute consult at: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultAbout Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

Episode 099: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Brian Shenson, Managing Partner and COO at Rise Growth Partners. With more than two decades of experience working with financial professionals, Brian has developed a deep understanding of the business fundamentals and operational aspects of wealth management services. He applies this deep industry expertise and his passion for technology and innovation to help firms extend the reach, impact, and resiliency of their digital solutions. Kyle and Brian explore the evolving landscape of advisor tech and the power of intentional growth. Shenson shares lessons from his journey through Schwab, consulting, and BCG, diving into the challenges firms face with tech sprawl, data integration, and delivering personalized client experiences. They discuss how Rise is helping mid-market RIAs scale with purpose, leverage data more effectively, and build modern platforms that prioritize human connection and operational clarity In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:09) - Brian's money moment (05:35) - Brian's journey from Schwab to Rise (09:57) - What captive firms can learn from independents (and vice versa) (13:43) - Why most RIAs don't build their own platforms (19:19) - What it really takes to build great fintech (20:54) - The vision behind Rise Growth Partners (23:54) - Accelerating growth with strategy and tech (27:11) - Who Rise is built for (33:20) - Bridging the gap between advice creation and advice execution (38:35) - The power behind platforms (40:46) - Brian's thoughts on AI, data, and the future of advice (46:20) - Brian's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways To build advisor platforms that can evolve with changing client and advisor needs, firms must separate the experience layer, business functionality, and data. This foundational architecture is key to long-term flexibility and scalability. As firms grow—especially through M&A—they face a tangled web of tools and data. Middleware isn't just a tech buzzword; it's the critical infrastructure that transforms fragmented platforms into cohesive, advisor-friendly experiences. Many firms delay tough integration work in favor of short-term growth. But without intentional platform decisions and cultural alignment, that tech debt builds silently, eventually stalling progress and creating friction at scale. The best firms are redesigning workflows to let advisors spend more time in front of clients and less time in back-office systems. Separating advice creation from advice execution—with the right tools and teams—is a game changer. Quotes "There's a desire to learn and copy the innovations in the independent space because the independents are moving very fast. They're trying things, they're breaking things." ~ Brian Shenson "With Rise, and because of our strategy and attention to getting it right, we're thinking as much about culture fit and platform fit. Those things matter almost as much, if not more than just the math." ~ Brian Shenson "What Rise is trying to do is back great entrepreneurs who have great businesses that want to have a meaningful impact on the industry. We want to provide them with the capital they need to get there, the expertise to support their journey, and to create an ecosystem of support around them." ~ Brian Shenson Links Brian Shenson on LinkedIn Rise Growth Partners Charles Schwab Joe Duran United Capital Financial Advisors Boston Consulting Group Envestnet Orion Advisor Solutions The Psychology of Money Sapiens Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube

Julie De Angulo is the VP of Ecommerce and Digital at Bajio Sunglasses, a premium polarized fishing eyewear brand purpose-built for serious anglers, from saltwater flats to bass tournaments. Bajio combines Patent Pending LAPIS lens technology with hyper-targeted storytelling to serve one of the most gear-obsessed subcultures in outdoor retail. Julie leads the charge in turning that product obsession into a scalable digital channel, anchored in retention, merchandising, and cultural fluency.Before joining Bajio, Julie spent nearly two decades in Ecommerce and digital marketing, scaling brands across home goods, pet supplements, fashion, and accessories. Her background in mass communications gave her a sharp instinct for message-market fit, one she's since sharpened into a full-funnel skillset spanning email, SMS, SEO, and paid acquisition. At Bajio, she joined when the brand had little to no Ecommerce presence, and has since built a high-performing revenue channel from the ground up.Whether breaking down how to tell product stories that resonate with niche audiences, mapping customer journeys from first click to long-term loyalty, or translating brand values into conversion-focused creative, Julie brings a tactical yet brand-led perspective to Ecommerce strategy. She shares what it takes to grow when you're starting from zero, why not all anglers are created equal, and how to build sustainable foundations that scale with authenticity.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:38] Intro[00:49] Focusing on a passionate niche audience[02:19] Building a scalable foundation for growth[04:31] Learning early that data drives everything[06:32] Repositioning a brand beyond wholesale[07:54] Tailoring messages to regional fishing niches[10:00] Hiring guides instead of paid influencers[11:18] Separating community from ad creative[12:37] Electric Eye, Social Snowball, Portless, Reach & Zamp[18:59] Contributing to a mission-led product story[20:53] Scaling small brands with real impact[22:23] Balancing SKU simplicity with flexibility[25:03] Responding to viral demand with local supply[25:53] Forecasting smarter with predictive analyticsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFlorida-based polarized sunglasses for fishing https://bajiosunglasses.com/Follow Julie De Angulo https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianadeanguloSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectDrive revenue through affiliates & referrals socialsnowball.io/honestRevolutionize your inventory and fulfillment process portless.com/Level up your global sales withreach.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Why am I here? Because I'm not here just to occupy space. I'm supposed to be doing something with this gift I've been given, called life. What do I do with it?” “We entangle our identity and our occupation… that's not you. You've got to untangle this stuff.” “The cycle of life, you're either growing or you're dying. There is no in-between.” “Those little baby steps along the way are a good thing. They don't necessarily feel great in the moment. They feel okay. It's just when we take the moment to stop, turn around, and look to see how far we've come, then we realize we have grown so much.” “Your identity is worked out over time, in community.” “Want what you already have.” “Anytime you're pointing at someone, remember — there's a thumb headed up toward heaven, three other fingers pointing back at you. So whatever you say to somebody should apply to you at least three times as much.” “Seeking certainty is a lack of faith. God is not a God of certainty. He's a God of mystery. And when you can embrace the mystery, then you're like, ‘Oh, I don't need certainty. Wherever he wants me to go, I go.” “False identity is that you're a bad dad, you're a bad husband, you're a bad community leader... the true identity is what God tells you. It's what He reveals to you.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://whitestonecoach.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjawad/ https://www.instagram.com/thepeterawad/ https://www.facebook.com/thepeterawad https://x.com/peterawad CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen X - https://x.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Separation in Scripture isn't just about what we leave behind—it's about what we commit to. The Jews renewed their covenant by turning from worldly ways and turning to God's Word, God's people, purity, and responsibility. A life fully devoted to the Lord demands a different kind of commitment.
