Podcasts about Showing Up

Grief touches every part of our lives—our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of who we are. Having someone willing to show up can make a difference, even when there are no words that make things better. In this special compilation episode of Make It a Great One with Dr. Dan, Dr. Dan revisits conversations with Nancy Howard Cobb, Dr. Korie Leigh, and Danielle Elliot Smith about living through loss and supporting the people we love. Together, these perspectives explore grief as a full-body experience, the importance of connection, and the ways purpose and growth can emerge alongside lasting sorrow. Nancy reflects on living through loss and finding connection and purpose. Dr. Korie explores how grief reaches beyond emotions into our physical experience. Danielle shares why showing up matters—and how silence from people who don't know what to say can deepen the loneliness of loss. Whether you are grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers space to acknowledge the pain, let go of the pressure to have the perfect words, and consider what it means to be present. Five Takeaways Grief can affect the whole person, including the body. Connection can provide support when loss feels isolating. Being present matters, even when you don't know what to say. Avoiding someone because you fear saying the wrong thing can leave them feeling more alone. Finding purpose or experiencing growth does not mean leaving grief—or the person you love—behind.

How do you build opportunities in your practice before you know whether showing up will actually pay off? Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew explore why some of the most valuable practice growth happens when you keep showing up in service before the outcome is obvious. From community outreach and building professional relationships to developing certainty and learning how to communicate chiropractic simply, they look at what happens when you stop measuring every effort by its immediate return. The work that feels unproductive today may be building trust, skill, relationships, and opportunities you cannot see yet. Consistently showing up with something useful to offer gives both you and your practice the chance to grow into opportunities that rarely appear overnight.Key Highlights01:25 – What younger chiropractors may miss when they look at someone further down the road and only see the finished result.04:21 – The less glamorous beginning behind an opportunity that eventually led to working with some of the world's top CrossFit athletes.07:09 – A simple reminder about why the place you start rarely looks like the place you ultimately want to end up.09:00 – Learning to show up before you feel ready and recognizing that same quality in the people around you.10:24 – Why continuing to serve in the schools mattered even when staying at the practice would have felt far more productive.12:00 – The connection between being of service and the opportunities that begin to appear when that remains the reason you show up.13:27 – Where certainty starts to develop when a young chiropractor is still wondering whether their own chiropractic actually works.15:26 – How community involvement can build familiarity and trust before anyone ever decides to become your patient.18:20 – An unexpected lesson from explaining chiropractic to four- and five-year-olds that changed the way one doctor communicates with adults.Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Practice Immersion - Nov 13 - 14, 2026 in Adelaide, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/   To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcastTo schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcastLearn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

In this short solo episode, I share what I've been thinking about ever since I got back from running my Visibility Retreat a couple of weeks ago.On the first day, quite a few of the women arrived feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. They were doing all the things they thought they should be doing to grow their businesses, but it all just felt like… a lot.And over the three days, I noticed something shift.It made me realise there's a part of visibility that we don't talk about enough - and it might be the very thing that's missing if showing up online is starting to feel exhausting, lonely or like you're constantly shouting into the void. I share what I noticed at the retreat, what it made me realise about my own visibility, and the question I think is worth asking yourself if you're creating content consistently but wondering whether any of it is actually moving the needle. I also share a little update about the podcast and why you'll be hearing more short solo episodes from me over the coming months. If showing up has been feeling heavier than usual lately, this one's for you.Connect with Vicki:Take the visibility archetype quizFollow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)Mentioned in this episode:The Visibility Workshop Find out more about The Visibility Workshop on 8th October 2026 in Farnham, Surrey. https://vickiknights.co.uk/visibility-workshop

In Episode 374 of My EdTech Life, Dr. Alfonso Mendoza Jr. sits down with Jacob Kantor, the Chief DODO, or District Office Door Opener, to explore what it takes to earn educators' attention, build trust, and serve schools.Drawing on 19 years in EdTech, Jacob explains why district doors stay closed, how sales targets can get in the way of listening, and why even well-liked vendors can lose contracts when budgets tighten. We discuss involving educators in product development, asking better questions, and showing up when implementation gets complicated.Jacob also shares the personal motivation behind his work: arriving from Ukraine without knowing English and now using that experience to encourage his son through speech therapy. His story brings the conversation back to the children and families affected by the decisions adults make.If you're an educator, district leader, EdTech founder, or someone working alongside schools, this episode offers a candid look at what meaningful partnership requires.Time00:00 Welcome to My EdTech Life01:00 Sponsor Thanks and Introducing Jacob Kantor03:00 Jacob's Journey into Education and EdTech04:00 Becoming the Chief DODO07:00 Connecting District Needs with Relevant Solutions10:00 Why District Doors Stay Closed14:00 When the Sales Pitch Replaces Listening16:00 Budget Cuts and Difficult District Decisions18:00 Showing Up and Understanding Educators' Needs20:00 Whose Problem Is EdTech Solving?22:00 Building Products Alongside Educators25:00 Trust When Implementation Gets Difficult28:00 Relationships Beyond the Sales Conversation32:00 Asking Better Questions and Making Connections35:00 When a Company Isn't Ready for District Introductions37:00 Evidence, Fit, and Setting Boundaries40:00 Client Commitments and Conflicts42:00 Listen More and Give People Permission to Stop Pitching44:00 The Five-Year-Old Behind Jacob's Work46:00 Final Reflections and Closing

Have you ever reacted to something in a relationship and wondered, where did that come from? Vienna Pharaon is a licensed marriage and family therapist, founder of Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy, and bestselling author of The Origins of You. Her work explores the origin wounds we carry around worthiness, belonging, prioritization, trust, and safety—and how experiences from our past can continue shaping the way we love in the present. In this episode, Robin and Vienna explore why we can understand our patterns and still find ourselves repeating them. They talk about the moments that activate old wounds, dysregulation as active self-protection, and what it actually takes to respond differently instead of falling back into familiar roles. Together, they explore what changes when we understand not only our own history, but the history of the people we love. Because healing isn't about never being triggered or never getting it wrong. It's about creating enough space to make a different choice, repair more quickly, and stay connected through the hard moments. As Vienna says, healing is the shift from survival to choice.

QUOTES “One of the greatest loving gifts that we give to each other is to learn about each other's origin stories and wounds and histories.” — Vienna Pharaon “I believe that you cannot love better without first understanding what you're carrying.” — Robin Ducharme “It is not about wishing or wanting for the absence of hard. It's about being able to go through the hard and stay connected with one another and come out the other side. That is what builds secure, healthy relationships.” — Vienna Pharaon “We have to open our minds to this concept, because this whole thing of falling in love on the first date, second date, third date—you don't know this person. You really don't. It's important to get to know somebody over time and through conflict, through all the things.” — Robin Ducharme “Context doesn't excuse behavior, but it is the bridge. It really helps us move into that space of compassion while still holding accountability and ownership and responsibility.” — Vienna Pharaon ABOUT THE GUEST Vienna Pharaon is a licensed marriage and family therapist and one of New York City's most sought after relationship therapists. She has practiced therapy for more than 17 years and is the founder and owner of the group practice, Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy.

Showing UpMatthew 21:23–32We say, “Let's get together,” “I'll pray for you,” or “In a minute.” But sometimes our good intentions never get us out the door. Through Jesus' parable of the two sons, this sermon explores the commitments that give relationships depth, the unexpected blessings of vineyard work, and the mercy of Christ that makes a fresh start possible. Whatever our first answer has been, there is still time to show up.

What if getting dressed could actually help you show up with more courage?In this episode of Showing Up Scared, Jess talks with House of Color CEO Ally Van Iten about her journey into color and style, eventually becoming CEO.  Jess also shares how having her colors done three years ago became far more significant than a wardrobe decision. During a season of deep grief and family crisis, exploring color and personal style helped her feel equipped to show up as herself again.Together, Jess and Ally talk about why enjoying beauty isn't frivolous, how creativity reflects the heart of a creative God, and why “not worrying about what we wear” doesn't mean we have to stop caring about beauty and style.If you've ever felt afraid to be seen, this conversation is an invitation to step into the fullness of who God made you to be.Pre-order a copy of You Can't Be Brave Until You're Scared and fill out this form to enter into the drawing to get your colors done!Head to dwellbible.com/jess⁠ to get Dwell and find the New Testament in 90 Days plan.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning?, Seth, Allyson, and Tami continue their conversation with Dr. Mark Deschaine — Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Mississippi and editor of the Journal of Contemporary Research in Education — about what it actually means to individualize, differentiate, personalize, and build presence in online learning environments, and why treating those four things as synonyms has real consequences for practice. Deschaine frames the discussion through decades of research in special education policy, online learning design, and teacher preparation.Together, Seth, Allyson, Tami, and Mark explore the four distinct instructional frames — individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence — unpacking each one's theoretical basis and what it requires from a teacher or program designer. Mark introduces a four-quadrant framework for educational decision-making — theoretical, legal, empirical, and practical — that grounds those choices in something more durable than intuition. Seth synthesizes the two frameworks into a single arc: differentiation creates the conditions, individualization targets the path, personalization restores the learner's agency, and presence is the measure of whether it worked. The conversation then turns structural: as tens of thousands of students leave traditional systems for homeschooling and micro schools, school districts lose not just enrollment revenue but their roles as the primary economic engines of rural communities. Mark traces how state variation in school choice policy, educational savings accounts, and the decentralization of federal funding are reshaping where families live — and what kinds of learning infrastructure those communities can sustain. The episode ends on a question Mark leaves deliberately open: does a community have the resilience to absorb this level of change?Key topics:Individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence as four distinct instructional framesFour-quadrant decision-making: theoretical, legal, empirical, and practicalHow special education's IEP model illuminates what individualized learning actually requiresHomeschooling growth and its impact on traditional school enrollment and fundingSchool districts as community economic engines — and what happens when they shrinkState variation in school choice, educational savings accounts, and online learning accessGeographic equity gaps in who can access distance learningLinks & Resources:"Framing Instructional Strategies as a Concept in K-12 Digital Learning" — Deschaine, Rice & Rose, ResearchGate, March 2026. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/402734231"Providing Special Education Services in Fully Online Statewide Virtual Schools: A Policy Scan" — Deschaine et al., 2020. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340436252National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQOL): https://nsqol.org/Michigan Virtual: michiganvirtual.orgThe Reflective Practitioner — Donald Schön: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/donald-a-schon/the-reflective-practitioner/9780786725366/?lens=basic-booksGuest Bio: Mark E.

Join us for a short series called Overwhelming Grace, where we sit down with friends to hear their stories of encountering God's grace.In this two part story with Kristin Shaffer, we pick up her story of her sharing her journey learning to trust God's people again after experiencing church hurt. She talks about stepping away from ministry as a single mom and working as a massage therapist, only to watch God show up on her massage table as clients forgave, found freedom and even came to know Jesus. She opens up about a sudden, two-year illness that kept her in bed most of the day with nothing to give. She shares about finally hearing God tell her He loved her even if she never did anything for Him again, and how that moment set her free from a lifetime of striving and shame. Kristin finishes sharing her slow road back into ministry at YWAM Kona, and how God led her to Waco and into the Antioch family.

What if saying YES could change your entire life? At 74, Renee Landers is proof that it's never too late to reinvent yourself, pursue a new dream, and discover what you're truly capable of. Renee began bodybuilding at 69, competed in numerous competitions, and ultimately earned her Pro status. Then, at 74, she stepped onto an entirely different stage—entering a beauty pageant and winning the title of Classic Universe Beauty. In this inspiring conversation, Renee and I talk about what it means to embrace the power of YES, show up even when you're unsure of the outcome, and refuse to let a number define what's possible. Renee shares her philosophy of "Be the best YOU!", why she believes you simply have to show up and never give up, and one of her most important life lessons: forgive yourself. This conversation is a powerful reminder that reinvention doesn't have an expiration date—and your next chapter might just be your best one yet.

One of the biggest reasons people delay becoming who they actually are is the belief that they need to have it all figured out first. The clear vision. The solid plan. The complete healed version of themselves. In today's episode Celeste challenges that belief directly — because waiting until you're fully figured out before you start showing up as yourself is just another way of staying hidden. You don't need the whole picture. You just need to take the next honest step. If you've been waiting until you're more ready, more healed, more certain before you fully show up — this one is going to challenge that wait. Today's shift: Show up as yourself in one moment today — not the figured out version, the real version, right now as you are.

Your employees don't experience your organization through its mission statement. They experience it through their leaders. In Episode 272 of the Customer Service Revolution, Denise Thompson talks with Dave Murray, Vice President of Consulting at The DiJulius Group, about the connection between employee experience, leadership and customer experience. Dave shares lessons from his work with PSECU, including why managers must reinforce CX standards after training, how better one-on-ones can change employee relationships, why organizations should examine turnover by department and how recognition from frontline leaders influences engagement. The bigger message: customer experience and employee experience cannot operate independently. The employee experience your company creates eventually becomes the customer experience your customers receive.

Are webinars dead? I get asked this all the time, and the short answer is no. But your show rate might be telling you a different story, and that's exactly what I'm unpacking in this episode.I'm seeing more webinars right now than I have in years. At the same time, a lot of hosts are telling me their show rates are falling.

Retail sales are running 5.3% ahead of last year, beating NRF's 4.4% forecast. Michael Bull, CCIM asks NRF Chief Economist Mark Mathews why shoppers keep spending. Consumer sentiment sits near the lowest readings on record, yet shoppers keep buying. Mark Mathews, Chief Economist and Executive Director of Research at the National Retail Federation, explains why most of the 2026 growth is real rather than inflation: goods inflation is running about 0.8%, and a dollar spent on a durable good 30 years ago costs about 79 cents today. Mark breaks down the K-shaped consumer (the top 20% of households drive about 60% of spending), how $60 billion in extra tax refunds offset higher gas prices through August, and why retailers who win on price are winning now. He also covers diesel and tariff costs, blended e-commerce and physical stores, AI shopping assistants, TikTok and influencer-driven sales, and his outlook for holiday spending. For owners and investors in retail real estate and net lease retail, this is a clear read on the consumer behind the rent checks.

Are you doing what you love, or are you simply doing what you've always done? It sounds like a simple question. But after decades in practice, the answer can say a lot about the chiropractor you're becoming. In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast, SCT Coaches Dr. Fred Schofield and Dr. FJ Schofield dig into what it means to build a career in chiropractic that you can genuinely enjoy, sustain, and continue mastering for decades. For Dr. Fred, after 45 years in chiropractic, the answer is still clear: he loves what he does. But loving chiropractic doesn't mean avoiding the work. It means finding the work worth doing. Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ discuss why the chiropractic adjustment remains the foundation of practice, why technique mastery requires far more than attending a seminar, and why chiropractors must continually apply, refine, experiment, and ultimately develop their own process. Because you don't become a master by simply learning more. You become a master by doing the work, applying what you learn, and continuing to evolve. The conversation also moves beyond technique into the practice itself: identifying the patients you want to serve, creating value, differentiating yourself in your community, building effective chiropractic marketing systems, and developing a profitable practice that gives you the freedom to protect your energy and your team. As Dr. FJ explains, the goal isn't to eliminate work from your life. It's to discover what kind of work is interesting enough that you're willing to keep doing it every day. Then learn how to help people with it. Learn how to communicate its value. Build systems around it. Take care of your own health. And do it for the next 30, 40, or 50 years. That's how you build more than a successful chiropractic office. You build a career and a life you actually want to live. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why mastering the chiropractic adjustment remains fundamental to becoming an exceptional chiropractor Why attending seminars isn't enough—you have to apply, practice, refine, and develop your own process How your approach to chiropractic can evolve dramatically throughout your career Why finding work that genuinely interests you may be more useful than chasing the idea of "passion" How to turn what you enjoy into something that helps people and provides real value Why chiropractic marketing and consistent new-patient growth create greater freedom within your practice The importance of being intentional about who you want to serve Why protecting your team's energy sometimes requires setting professional boundaries with patients How taking care of your own body helps create a career you can sustain for decades Why doing work you love doesn't mean avoiding hard work—it means finding work worth doing "You can't just go to the seminar. You've got to go apply it, and then you've got to learn, and then you hone." — Dr. FJ Schofield "Do something that's interesting to you every single day." — Dr. FJ Schofield "I love what I do. Forty-five years." — Dr. Fred Schofield Weekly Action Challenge: Find the Work Worth Doing This week, ask yourself one question: What part of chiropractic still genuinely interests me? Maybe it's adjusting. Technique. Patient communication. Philosophy. Building your team. Marketing. Creating an incredible patient experience. Pick one area that makes you want to become better. Then do something with it. Study it. Practice it. Attend a training. Try something new in your office. Take something you've already learned and actually apply it. Don't worry about mastering everything at once. Find the work that matters to you, and keep getting better at it. Because a great chiropractic career isn't built by reaching a point where the work stops. It's built by creating work you still want to do. Keep training & Keep charging!   MoChihChu!

What if healing isn't something another person does to you? This week I'm joined by Brea Segger, retreat facilitator, writer and host of the podcast Beneath the Story. She's calling in from her family's permaculture farm on Vancouver Island, though home is mostly Costa Rica these days. Brea shares the story of leaving a corporate finance career in 2007, ending up on Zanzibar, and floating in the Indian Ocean with nothing to prove. She describes what happened when she finally stopped holding on. From there we get into the difference between effortless and easy, why trust is the prerequisite for surrender, and why the "broken to be fixed" model of healing takes people's power away. We also talk about why neither of us wants to be needed forever by a client, and how to tell when your work is draining you for the wrong reasons. In this episode: Life across Vancouver Island, Costa Rica and Sydney Why Brea moved her family to Costa Rica during COVID, and how a "six month" plan became five years Being more of you, and why authenticity is getting harder to fake The Zanzibar chapter: dial-up internet, floating in the ocean, and surrendering control "Giving up" versus "giving over" (trusting something bigger than us) Power over versus power within Why a session should leave you energised, and what it means if it doesn't The three types of people when it comes to carrying inherited emotional weight Doing what's yours to do, like the client who wanted dance, not volunteering Walking in nature without headphones (and why 1990s hip hop at the gym is fine too) Find Brea: https://www.breasegger.com/ https://www.instagram.com/breasegger/ ______ This episode is brought to you by the Clear Ground Program, a somatically informed, multimodal online and live-call program for connecting within and between your relationships, healing what holds you back, and stepping into your biggest vision, grounded and supported.

What if your suffering is not a curse on your children, but instead an inheritance of breathtaking value?In this deeply personal conversation, I sat down with my son James the day before he left for college. James opened up about the reality of growing up with a mom who has disabilities and how the experience has formed him into a person who shows up helpful and grateful. I reflected on one of the heaviest questions of my life: has my suffering been a burden to the people I love, especially my children? I also got to offer James the truths I wish someone had given me at his age—about God, about pain, and about the story he gets to write with his own life.Mentioned in this episode:Hope Heals Camp - https://hopeheals.com/campMEND Coffee & Goods - https://www.mendcoffee.com/Samford University Micah Fellows Program - https://www.samford.edu/programs/undergraduate/micah-fellows/Micah 6:8More from Katherine:Follow @hopeheals on InstagramReceive monthly reflections from Katherine - http://hopeheals.com/hopenoteWatch this conversation on YouTube

Most habits fail not because people lack discipline, but because they never become automatic. In this episode, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle break down what it actually takes to build habits that last for years, not just a few weeks, using personal stories and an unexpected parallel from jujitsu. You'll learn: Why automaticity, not motivation, is the real key to long-term habit change The Rule of Two framework: choosing one should, one need, and one want habit How small, daily actions compound into lasting change over time How to use habit stacking and minimal friction to make habits easier to sustain What jujitsu can teach you about patience and long-term skill development How to stay consistent through setbacks without losing momentum If you've started and stopped the same habits more times than you can count, this episode gives you a practical framework for building the kind that actually stick for good.

Send us Fan MailIn this solo episode of Consequence of Habit, JT reflects on his recent experience going through the Rites of Passage retreat in Alabama — an experience COH has helped send others through, but one he felt called to understand firsthand.What he found was more impactful than he expected.JT talks about the discomfort and clarity that can come from silence, time in nature, and stepping away from the constant stimulation of everyday life. He reflects on how easy it is to keep searching for the next habit, tool, routine, or performance hack, while missing one of the simplest and hardest practices available to us: sitting still long enough to examine our lives.He also shares what it meant to witness veterans going through the retreat, the gratitude he feels for the people and organizations who make this work possible, and why the experience reaffirmed the mission behind Consequence of Habit.This episode is about presence, purpose, mortality, gratitude, and the importance of choosing how we spend the limited time we have.Learn more about Kevin Stark and The Arete Path Rites of Passage Retreat visit https://www.aretepath.com/rites-of-passage

For years you built a life that looked right from the outside and felt wrong from the inside — and when your body finally broke down, you never once connected the two. Chronic illness is rarely just physical. In women, it often traces back to emotional patterns and a life quietly out of step with what you actually want, and your emotions have been the signal all along.This episode offers a completely different way of understanding why you got sick, and what your feelings have been trying to show you the whole time.In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body stops showing up for a life you don't truly wantWhat your emotions have actually been telling you about the life you're livingHow to read what your emotions are pointing you toward, instead of pushing them awayJOIN THE NOW SHE HEALS WAITLISTMy four-month healing experience where I help women with chronic illness stop being a full-time patient and become a full-time person again. I help you resolve the emotional patterns (people-pleasing, perfectionism, need for control) fueling your symptoms, so your body can finally shift out of survival mode and into a state where rest and repair is actually possible.For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

Rosh Hashanah morning at Stephen Wise Temple, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback explores an ancient Hebrew word — Hineini, "Here I am" — through the lens of one of the newest challenges facing us: artificial intelligence. Weaving together the Binding of Isaac, a teaching from the Mussar master Rabbi Eliyahu Lopian, and the work of Israeli thinker Micah Goodman, Rabbi Zweiback asks what AI can and cannot give us — and what it means to keep practicing the very human capacities technology can't replace: listening, patience, forgiveness, showing up for one another when there's nothing to fix.A personal reflection on loss, presence, and the difference between a tool that serves us and a person who makes a claim on our lives.

These show notes are going to look a little different, because this episode felt a little different to record.This isn't a typical guest interview. It's much more of a storytelling episode, one where I'm sharing pieces of my own story through the experiences I've had with my guest, Rozalind Panasuk, over the last year.It started when I was getting ready to fly across the country for a weekend of video content creation with my team. I was feeling pretty uncomfortable with the idea of spending that much time in front of a camera. So naturally, I booked a boudoir shoot with Rozalind the day before I left.My reasoning was pretty simple: rip the band-aid off. Lean into the discomfort. If I could do this, hopefully the rest of the weekend would feel easier by comparison.What I didn't anticipate was that this would be the beginning of more than a year of working with Rozalind. And yes, I was driving three and a half hours each way to do it. There was the boudoir shoot. Two very different branding shoots. And eventually, the Reclaim Yourself retreat in the mountains.Over that year, these experiences became part of a much bigger season of identity work and personal growth for me, around being seen, showing up, and taking up space.But I was also paying attention as a business owner.I noticed Rozalind's pricing. Her boundaries. Her systems. The very clear container she created for me as a client, and how much safety that structure actually gave me when I wanted to overthink, analyze, and ping-pong around inside the experience. And there is a lot here that I think those of us building service-based businesses can learn from.In this episode, we explore:▶️ Being seen, not as we're told we should be, but as we actually are▶️ Body image, visibility, taking up space, and some of the narratives we inherit about how we're supposed to look▶️ The identity work that surfaced as I moved from a private boudoir experience into showing up publicly as a CEO▶️ How strong pricing, boundaries, and a clear container can contribute to the experience we create for our clients▶️ How systems can do some of the heavy lifting when empathy and compassion make boundaries difficult to hold▶️ The unexpected path from that first photo shoot to the Reclaim Yourself retreat, and what I've learned through a year of showing up in front of Rozalind's camera in very different waysMy hope is that somewhere in our conversation, you recognize a piece of your own story. Or maybe you hear something that gets you thinking differently about how you're showing up in your work, your business, or your life.Connect with Rozalind:Instagram: @rozalind.art, @rozalind_photographyWebsite: www.rozalind.comFacebook group: Rozalind Boudoir~ Melissa & the OTGR Podcast Team

What can happen when one little boy's love of music becomes a movement? Mike Gomoll never expected epilepsy advocacy to become his life's work. Mike and his wife adopted their son Joey from Guatemala as an infant. About a month after Joey came home, he experienced his first seizure. Eventually, Joey was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. Joey was non-speaking, but music became one of his greatest connections to the world. When music started playing, Joey wanted everyone around him dancing. After Joey died just before his fifth birthday, Mike took an idea he had already begun imagining and created Joey's Song, an organization built around one goal: helping the next family. What began with CDs and small acoustic release parties grew into an annual rock-and-roll event bringing together artists connected to the Goo Goo Dolls, Garbage, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Tears for Fears and many more. The musicians donate their time, audiences come for the music, and along the way thousands of people learn about epilepsy. Joey's Song has now raised more than $2 million for epilepsy research. Mike and Alycia also dig into an important reality: epilepsy is often invisible until a seizure occurs. Seizures can also take many different forms, from convulsive seizures to brief lapses in awareness. Around 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy, and stigma and discrimination remain significant challenges. This conversation is about epilepsy education, research and advocacy, but it is also about community. As Mike says, sometimes we simply need to give people the chance to be good. From a child who loved to dance to rock stars volunteering their time in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, Joey's story continues to bring people together and help the next family.

Richard Watts is an attorney, author, and founder of Family Business Office, where he has spent decades advising some of the world's wealthiest families on estate planning, family dynamics, and the transfer of wealth across generations. Drawing from more than 40 years of firsthand experience working with families, Richard has developed a unique perspective on the difference between inheritance and true legacy. His latest book, Legacy Redefined, is the third and final installment in his Wisdom series and challenges the traditional idea that a person's legacy is defined by the wealth they leave behind. Richard joins me today to share why legacy should be measured by the impact we have on others rather than the money we leave behind, and what decades of working with wealthy families have taught him about inheritance, purpose, and fulfillment. We discuss why giving children too much can unintentionally rob them of the pride that comes from building something themselves, how practicing not having can strengthen gratitude and contentment, and why generosity can provide a deeper sense of purpose than materialism. Richard also shares powerful stories about intentionally showing up for the people we love, the importance of connecting with grandchildren, and why the most meaningful legacy is built while we're still here. "The real legacy is how we as human beings impact the person next to us." – Richard Watts "Just show up. Just show up. And it's not difficult, but it's incredibly powerful to people." – Richard Watts "I don't need to buy her a Bentley. I don't need to buy her a house. I just need to make sure that her soul is intact." – Richard Watts This Week on The Wow Factor: Why Richard believes legacy should be defined by the impact we have on others rather than the amount of money we leave behind What four decades of advising wealthy families have taught Richard about the unintended consequences of generational wealth Why giving children financial comfort can sometimes remove the struggle, accomplishment, and pride that helped their parents become successful How practicing not having can help families distinguish between wants and needs while developing gratitude and contentment Why simply showing up and being present during someone's most difficult moments can become an unforgettable part of your legacy How Richard intentionally invests in his grandchildren and creates opportunities for deeper conversations about their lives, struggles, and faith Why estate planning should consider not only how efficiently wealth is transferred, but how that wealth will actually affect the people receiving it Richard Watts' Words of Wisdom: Legacy isn't something that begins after you're gone. It is created through the way you show up for people today. Be intentional about your relationships, pay attention to the people you love, express gratitude for those who shaped your life, and look for opportunities to make an impact on others. The most meaningful inheritance may have very little to do with money and everything to do with how people remember the way you cared for them.

Ever opened the app excited to post — then saw someone else's win and quietly closed it without sharing? That's comparison. And it's stopping more women from building their personal brand than a lack of talent ever will. In this episode, Erika breaks down why comparison is biological (not a character flaw), and the reframe that changes everything: comparison isn't a wound — it's data pointing you toward what you actually want. She also dismantles the three lies comparison tells you:  – "They're the expert, not me" (spoiler: in the age of AI, your lived experience beats expertise)  – "Their life is interesting, mine's boring" (you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to their highlight reel)  – "I'm too late, it's saturated" (97% of people only watch — the room is nearly empty) Plus: the Spotlight shift that makes posting feel easy, how to break the scroll-compare-shrink loop, and why someone else's win is proof yours is coming.

Ryan Michler is joined by Alan Placer for this week's Ask Me Anything, tackling eight questions about fatherhood, masculinity, family, legacy, grief, mentorship, co-parenting, and business. They discuss when helping an adult child becomes enabling, what it means to be a real man, showing up for a parent with dementia, and navigating a child's relationship with a good stepfather. They also explore letting go of an inherited business legacy, dealing with infertility, becoming a mentor before you feel ready, and the hidden cost of being constantly available to your business.

Are you waiting to feel more confident before you finally put yourself out there? In Part 2 of my conversation with my friend and business partner Natalie Ellis, we talk about building self-trust through consistency, using community and relationships to create opportunities you could never create alone, and turning comparison into connection. We also dive into what 10 years of podcasting has taught me about building a platform, why you do not need your own podcast to benefit from the power of podcasting, and how becoming a great podcast guest can help you share your story and grow your audience.
