Podcasts about sit still

What starts as a random music discovery turns into a full-on time capsule.When Woody stumbles onto “Sit Still” by Christopher Stopa, he's convinced it's a long-lost Radiohead track - until a deep dive reveals a whole other story behind the voice, the song, and the artist who stepped away from music entirely. That rabbit hole leads us to a bigger conversation about forgotten songs, near-misses, and the strange afterlife of art on the internet.And because this is us… we take a risk...We cold-call Christopher Stopa's bakery in Toronto, live on the show, with no idea if he'll answer. We just want to talk about the song's brief viral moment, stepping away from music, and whether creativity ever really leaves you.That rabbit hole leads us back to 1993 and the iconic compilation "NO ALTERNATIVE "- a snapshot of alternative culture right before everything splintered into subgenres.We unpack how No Alternative came together as an HIV/AIDS benefit, why it felt bigger than “just a compilation,” and how it captured the last quiet moment before the alternative explosion changed everything. Then we dive into the hidden Nirvana track at the end of the album - Woody's favorite Nirvana song of all time, “Verse Chorus Verse” (aka “Sappy”) - and the strange history behind its many versions, title changes, and why it was left off In Utero.We couldn't end there without Tyler leading us into his "CONSPIRACY CORNER"! He dives into brand new information about Kurt Cobain's death that came out a few days ago and into the theories, conspiracies, and strange mysterious facts about the end of a rock legend.This episode is about:The music that finds you when you aren't looking for it.The albums that become mile markers in your life.The songs that stick with you long after the era that made them.If you miss cruising the aisle of your favorite music store or trying to be the first to discover your new favorite band...this one's for you.Stay curious.Stay weird.Be Forever Rad.CONNECT WITH US:

Are we raising boys to sit still—or to stand strong? Zan and homeschool mom Heather Haupt tackle what it really looks like to raise sons with courage, honor, and purpose. Drawing from her book Knights in Training, Heather shares how imagination, faith, and intentional training shape boys into men who defend truth and live with integrity. Boys are wired for movement, challenge, and meaning—and when we understand that, they flourish. And while this conversation centers on sons, the vision for character applies to every child.

Country superstar Lainey Wilson joined us fresh off her massive Qudos Bank Arena show, revealing she didn't go to sleep until 2am because the energy exchange with the crowd was so intense she couldn't come down. She opened up about working with her dear friend Dolly Parton (who has a custom one-sided headphone so she doesn't mess up her hair), why Australian crowds feel special because country isn't oversaturated here, and how her band leader wrote "Can't Sit Still" about her because he's watched her chase this dream for 10 years—and we made her prove she can actually sit still long enough to play Sing with us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore why so many first responders feel calm (Amazon Affiliate), focused, and regulated on the job—but tense, irritable, and on high alert at home. Your nervous system was trained to detect threat, anticipate danger, and stay ready to respond. The problem is, it doesn't automatically shut off when the uniform comes off. What keeps you alive on the street can quietly strain your marriage, your parenting, and your sense of peace. This episode unpacks how chronic hypervigilance rewires the brain, why safety can feel suspicious, and how living in "always on" mode impacts relationships and emotional health.

Think the Grammys always reward the biggest voices? We put that idea on trial. From Luke Combs and Blake Shelton to Eric Church and Martina McBride, we map the stunning list of country heavyweights with multiple nominations and zero wins—and ask what those numbers really say about merit, timing, and taste. Then we widen the lens: Jelly Roll's breakout sweep, Zac Top's historic Traditional Country win, and how a single new category can rewrite a career's story overnight.We keep the momentum with a packed news slate: Lainey Wilson's cryptic “Can't Sit Still” teasers and possible Netflix tie‑in, Hardy's cinematic multi‑generational collab featuring Tim McGraw, Eric Church, and Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar tour routing through Fenway Park, and The Voice's two‑hour season launch after the Winter Games. Along the way, we talk performance versus polish, the role of auto‑tune in modern crossovers, and why some artists soar on stage even if the trophies never land.Our community brings the heat with the Question of the Day: name an artist who left a famous band and built a real solo legacy. From Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, and Peter Gabriel to Darius Rucker and Peter Cetera, your picks fuel a rapid-fire tour through rock, country, pop, and beyond. We balance it with a transparent look at the business: do labels still help, or are they just advances with branding? Is touring truly profitable for rising acts in vans and trailers? And how do indie artists build durability when playlist spikes fade?We round it out with a sharp chart rundown—main and indie—plus a 2006 flashback to Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, and George Strait, showing how yesterday's storytelling still shapes today's sound. If you love country music, industry strategy, and a lively back-and-forth that doesn't hedge, this one's for you.Enjoyed the show?

In this month's Clinician's Corner, Molly and Clarissa take a deep dive into the fix response—a lesser-named but incredibly common nervous-system survival strategy that shows up as over-functioning, urgency, problem-solving, and "doing something" to make discomfort go away. This episode explores why fixing isn't a personality flaw, control issue, or codependency—but a biologically wired, trauma-informed self-preservation response that once helped keep us safe. Together, we unpack how the fix response shows up in food addiction recovery, relationships, work, parenting, and even helping professions—and why it so often leads to burnout, resentment, and cycles of shame when left unexamined. In this episode, we discuss: What the fix response is (and what it's not) Why fixing feels regulating in the moment, but often backfires long-term How fixing differs from healthy problem-solving Common fix patterns in food addiction recovery (constant plan changes, "starting fresh Monday," adding rules after lapses) Over-functioning, hyper-responsibility, and lawn-mowing other people's problems Why fixers struggle with rest, delegation, and asking for help How ADHD, dopamine, urgency, and novelty-seeking intersect with fixing The developmental and trauma roots of the fix response How fixing pairs with fawn, hyper-independence, and people-pleasing Why optimization culture and biohacking can reinforce dysregulation The cost of living in constant "fix mode"—burnout, resentment, disconnection, and relapse risk How to recognize fix mode in the body (jaw clenching, shallow breath, tight chest, restless urgency) Why the goal isn't to eliminate fixing—but to update it How to build awareness, pause, discern responsibility, and bring choice back online This conversation is especially relevant for clinicians, coaches, caregivers, helpers, parents, and anyone in recovery who feels exhausted from always being the one who "handles things."

In Episode 002 of the The Leadership Contrarian, Michael Redman, CEO of Half a Bubble Out (HaBO), explores why leadership feels harder right now—and why that's not your imagination. We're living in a VUCA world: Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity. Drawing from a formative experience in 1980 and more than 20 years of working with leaders, Michael unpacks: What VUCA really means (and why it's personal) Why yesterday's leadership tools no longer work How resilient leaders stay grounded when everything feels unstable Why internal capacity—not external control—is the key to leading well in chaos This episode isn't about reacting faster or doing more. It's about becoming a steadier, more human, and more effective leader—without adding more to your plate. If you're navigating constant change, pressure, and uncertainty, this message will meet you right where you are.

In our first episode of 2026, we reflect on a year that challenged many investor assumptions. Despite geopolitical conflict, trade tensions and inflation concerns, markets delivered resilient and often surprising returns. Darius McDermott and Juliet Schooling Latter discuss the broadening of performance beyond the US, the role of valuations and renewed interest in emerging markets and China. We also examine the resurgence of gold and commodities, the evolving role of real assets and whether AI remains a powerful growth story or a potential source of risk. We conclude with practical thoughts on diversification and investor behaviour for the year ahead.What's covered in this episode: Why markets stayed resilientThe surprise winners of last yearBroadening beyond US dominanceValuations and investor complacencyEmerging markets back in focusChina's evolving growth storyGold, silver and real assets explainedAI hype vs earnings realityDiversification mistakes to avoidWhat investors should do more — and less — ofLearn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

What happens when vaccine mandates, school regulations, and a mama's intuition collide? In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany, a homeschool mom of almost-seven-year-old twin boys in West Virginia and an occupational therapist who now serves the homeschool community.Tiffany shares how COVID, vaccine requirements, and a strong Christian conviction opened the door to homeschooling—not just for her twin boys, but for her stepkids too. We talk about co-ops, jujitsu, piano lessons, state requirements, and why “freedom” is the first word that comes to mind when she thinks of home education.As an OT, Tiffany also dives into reflex integration—how primitive reflexes can affect things like handwriting, reading, attention, picky eating, emotional regulation, and why some kids “can't sit still” no matter how hard they try.

Worry has a way of taking over our thoughts before we even realise it. In this message, Wish opens Jesus' teaching on anxiety and invites us to see what He offers in place of the constant noise in our minds. Rather than ignoring the reality of worry, Jesus gives us a better focus—one that steadies our hearts and reorients our perspective toward the God who cares for every detail of our lives.

Hey HomeGirls

Discover how trauma lives in the body—and how the vagus nerve, nervous system shutdown, and somatic healing explain why stillness can feel unsafe. Through the Biology of Trauma® lens, Dr. Aimie shares the trauma response sequence and the Essential Sequence needed to heal stored trauma without overwhelm. If we've ever felt like we can't stop moving—like sitting still feels unsafe—this episode helps us understand why. I share Jess's story, a 45-year-old marketing director whose chronic busyness protected her from an 8-year-old's stored terror. When her 17-year-old daughter said, "Mom, we never really got to be together," Jess knew something had to change. We'll explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as high-functioning exhaustion, emotional disconnection, and perfectionism. We'll see how trauma becomes biology—and why our body holds on until it feels safe enough to let go.   In this episode you'll learn: [00:00] Why a "good childhood" doesn't guarantee a nervous system free of trauma [02:15] How Jess's busyness, weight gain, and exhaustion were signs of stored trauma [06:40] Why stillness feels unsafe when the body equates pausing with overwhelm [09:10] Thinking vs feeling: how living in your head blocks somatic trauma healing [12:45] The real definition of trauma: overwhelm inside the body, not just events [16:05] Startle → stress → freeze → shutdown: the trauma response sequence in the nervous system [18:40] How the vagus nerve turns overwhelm into a whole-body shutdown response [21:20] Overwhelm as biology: fatigue, gut issues, emotional eating, and chronic anxiety [24:05] Why somatic work can retraumatize you if you don't feel safe first [26:30] The essential safety sequence: safety → support → growth into calm aliveness [28:15] How Jess used the Foundational Journey to break the cycle with her daughter   Main Takeaways: Trauma Happens Inside the Body: Trauma isn't defined by events—it's what happens inside of us when overwhelm outpaces our capacity to cope. Overwhelm Is Trauma Biology: When the size of the problems we face feels bigger than our resources, our nervous system shifts from stress into trauma—leading to freeze, shutdown, and hopelessness. Chronic Busyness and Perfectionism Can Be Functional Freeze: What looks like overachieving may actually be a protective response. Our body may be using busyness to avoid stored pain. The Vagus Nerve Makes Trauma Physical: It carries the signal of shutdown throughout our system—leading to fatigue, gut issues, disconnection, and a loss of aliveness. We Must Follow the Same Path Out That We Took In: Skipping straight to calm never works. True healing follows this path: Safety → Support → Expansion. Healing Breaks Generational Patterns: Jess's journey shows what becomes possible when we regulate our nervous system and choose presence over protection.   Notable Quotes: "Trauma isn't what happened to us—it's what happened inside of us". "Busyness kept me safe. It kept me from drowning in emotions I couldn't process". "We have to follow the same path that our body took." "Our body holds its truth. Our mind tells us what it wants us to hear." "Safety first, then Support, then Expansion. You cannot skip the sequence." "Our body needs safety to come out of shutdown. Until we create that, it will stay closed."   Episode Takeaway: Trauma isn't about what happened—it's about what overwhelmed our nervous system and pushed it into survival mode. Chronic busyness, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are often signs our body is still trying to protect us. But when we follow the Essential Sequence—Safety, then Support, then Expansion—we can safely access and resolve what our body has been holding. Healing becomes possible when our body finally knows it's safe to feel, to rest, and to be present.   Resources/Guides: Take the Attachment Pain Quiz: Discover your attachment patterns and how they show up in your nervous system Attachment Trauma Healing Roadmap: Get your personalized roadmap for healing attachment wounds Foundational Journey - If you are ready to create your inner safety and shift your nervous system, join me and my team for this 6 week journey of practical somatic and mind-body inner child practices.

Have you ever wondered why your child just can't seem to sit still, focus, or follow directions—no matter how hard they try? In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really going on when kids struggle with restlessness, hyperactivity, or behavior that often gets dismissed as “just a phase.” Spoiler alert—it's not about being defiant. Instead, it may be your child's body signaling something deeper, especially when it comes to breathing and sleep. I'll share my own journey as both a mom and a provider, uncovering the surprising connection between airway health, oxygen, and behavior. From bedwetting and restless nights to emotional meltdowns and focus issues, I'll explain how these seemingly separate challenges often tie back to sleep and breathing. And most importantly, I'll give you practical steps and questions you can ask to start connecting the dots for your own child. Remember, when your child can't sit still, it's not always about behavior—it could be about breathing. You have the power to be the detective who connects the dots.

Episode 87: Daya At 16 years old, still in high school, Daya dropped “Hide Away” with no label, no team, no social following. Just a song she believed in. It exploded, racked up hundreds of millions of streams, and suddenly she was on the radio while still in class. She followed it with “Sit Still, Look Pretty,” then connected with The Chainsmokers to record “Don't Let Me Down,” one of the biggest hits of the 2010s. We talk about how that collaboration came to be, what it was like for her life to flip so fast, and what it felt like to win a GRAMMY at just 18. We also get into how she built her team, what she learned from the major label system, and how she eventually got her masters back. She explains the move to go independent, what that freedom means to her, and how she's evolved as both an artist and a person over the past decade. Now she's stepping into a brand new era with music like “Infrared”, “Demise”, "Bandit" and an upcoming new album "Til Every Petal Drops." exploring a darker and more electronic sound. We dive into the process behind these songs, the producers she's been working with, and what's next. I hope you love my conversation with the amazing, Daya! Special thanks to Apogee Electronics.

What happens when a children's haircut becomes more than just a trim? Stephanie Knepp, CEO of Sit Still Kids Salon, reveals the magic behind transforming what's traditionally a tear-filled ordeal into an experience children actually look forward to.The concept is brilliantly simple yet revolutionary: create a salon specifically designed for children from their first haircut through their tween years, where every aspect of the experience caters to their comfort and enjoyment. "You come in for the haircuts, but you actually stay a client with us because of the relationship you develop," Knepp explains, highlighting their impressive business model that retains customers for up to a decade.What truly sets Sit Still apart is their psychological approach to children's comfort. Their stylists don't just cut hair, they're trained in child engagement techniques, offering options like car-shaped chairs with iPads, letting kids choose their cape colors, and explaining every step of the process. Beyond basic cuts, they offer special treatments like chlorine treatments for swimmers, sparkle strands, temporary hair colors, and mohawks that turn a mundane necessity into something magical. Meanwhile, parents enjoy complimentary beverages and can browse their retail boutique.From a franchise perspective, Sit Still represents a fascinating case study in scaling passion. Currently at 30 locations, Knepp—who joined as CEO rather than being the founder—walks a delicate line between preserving the founder's vision while implementing business systems necessary for national and eventually international growth. Her approach includes weekly communications with franchisees, always explaining the "why" behind business decisions to maintain that crucial balance of passion and profitability.Ready to discover more about the business that's redefining children's salon experiences?

Go (God Didn't Save You to Sit Still)- Jimmy Gilford by Fondren Church

In this honest and raw conversation, Jill and Linda explore the uncomfortable tension between workaholism and self-care—especially when both home and work feel equally heavy. From vacation meltdowns and returning to the real world to the unrelenting nature of housework and the guilt of slowing down, this episode is a vulnerable look at what happens when life forces you to pause. Whether you're drowning in laundry or deadlines, you're not alone in the tug-of-war between productivity and presence.In this episode, you'll hear:How vacation with kids is often more work than rest—and what happens when expectations don't match reality.Why both Jill and Linda feel caught in cycles of over-functioning, even in different seasons of life.The emotional toll of trying to be the “perfect” mom, homemaker, and entrepreneur.How slowing down can be an act of sacred self-care—even if it doesn't feel like it.Why guilt shows up when self-care isn't productive (and how to challenge that).The difference between fulfilling work and obligatory labor—and how both impact our mental health.How breaking generational cycles of workaholism starts with awareness, grace, and a whole lot of trial and error. This episode is a gentle but firm reminder that slowing down doesn't mean you're falling behind. Whether you're dealing with chaos, caregiving, or clutter, it's okay to feel both grateful and overwhelmed. We're not here to romanticize the mess—we're here to muck through it with you. Join us as we give ourselves (and each other) permission to pause, breathe, and redefine what care really looks like. And if you're stuck in the cycle of hustle, we've got a resource just for you in the show notes below. Until next week – we hope you can unstuck your muck!For a simple way to start with self-care, send them an email or connect with Jill on socials @mamaoutspoken and mamaoutspoken.com and Linda @hellolindabonney or lindabonney.com.

In this episode, we'll explore the neuroscience behind meditation, how it impacts stress, memory, and attention, and why consistency matters more than time.

In this powerful episode of the Connection Codes podcast, Tera and Phyllis sit down with trauma-informed coach Echo Hill Vetter to break open what happens when we let go of punishment and choose connection over consequence. Together, they unpack why punishing our kids “into good behavior” often fails — and how to replace control with curiosity, repair, and true partnership. Echo shares how dance and movement are medicine for kids' big feelings and how parenting leadership really means supporting our kids from beneath, not controlling them from above. If you've ever wondered, “If I don't punish, what do I do instead?” — this honest conversation shows the way forward.Links and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: ⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@connectioncodes?si=phORYBsGMOOrj9mA⁠⁠⁠Find out how to become a Certified Coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find a coach:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://connectioncodes.co/coaches#find-a-coach-menu⁠⁠⁠Chapters: 00:00:00 - Welcome + Why This Conversation Matters00:00:38 - Echo's Raw and Real Parenting Story00:01:10 - When Parenting Feels Like Constant Friction00:01:24 - What It Means to Parent Through Trauma00:03:21 - Why Culture Taught Us to Punish00:05:04 - Dance, Movement & Emotional Survival00:08:28 - The Truth About Traditional Parenting Struggles00:09:22 - Choosing Connection Over Consequence00:18:13 - Leadership Reimagined: Parenting from Beneath00:21:40 - How Our Kids Mirror Us (Literally)00:22:10 - What to Do When Kids “Act Out”00:23:01 - Regulating Ourselves Before Reacting00:23:25 - Is Talking Back Actually a Good Sign?00:24:20 - Seeing the Need Behind the Behavior00:27:27 - Real-Life Tools for Collaborative Parenting00:28:57 - When Your Kid Is Wild (And Wonderful)00:34:51 - Curiosity and Compassion: The Game Changers00:36:13 - Echo's Parting Encouragement to All Parents

Have you ever experienced such strong emotions that sitting still became impossible? Something so important, so urgent, that you had to act? That's the kind of passion Paul had for the gospel. In Romans 1:8–10, we'll see what drove his relentless passion, gratitude, and calling to share the gospel.

 275: “We have trained our bodies to think that stillness and silence are unsafe, that simplicity isn't safe, that just resting and softening and simply being is not safe. And although we can, you know, say in our brains that we don't believe that's true, our bodies have a lifetime of believing otherwise… It is safe.” - Rachel LevineFeeling allergic to stillness? Same. Chelsea chats with writer, guide, and founder and owner of Intuitively Wild, Rachel Levine, about why slowing down feels terrifying — and why it might be the bravest thing you can do for your nervous system, your career, and your life. Episode themes:Stillness isn't always soft — sometimes it brings up everything you've been avoiding.If you think “ If I stop, I'll never start again” — that's how you know you need to stop the most.We've trained our nervous systems to believe rest is dangerous.Living in alignment doesn't mean you quit your job and move to a cottage — it starts with one honest moment.Your shame gets louder the more you hide it. Bring it to the light and watch it shrink.Rest isn't a reward — it's a right. Whether you're drowning in Slack pings, sprinting toward a dream, or wondering why your “wellness routine” feels like a full-time job, Rachel's words are an invitation to sit still, soften, and listen. Spoiler: you don't have to move to a lush forest or light sage at your desk to do it. Connect with Rachelhttp://intuitivelywild.com/Substack: https://intuitivelywild.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/intuitivelywild/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2hXWRlCjKv9CWujSNLLifBConnect with Chelsea:

The discourse presented in the latest installment of FURNITURE Industry News delves deeply into the prevailing dynamics that shape consumer behavior and market trends within the furniture sector. The statistics reveal a notable 21% of consumers express intentions to procure dining furniture within the forthcoming year, predominantly among younger demographics under the age of 44. The podcast elucidates that the appeal lies in casual dining sets, particularly those priced below $1,000, reflecting a broader shift towards functionality, affordability, and contemporary aesthetics suitable for compact living spaces. This inclination towards less formal dining arrangements signifies an evolution in consumer preferences, highlighting the necessity for retailers and manufacturers to recalibrate their marketing strategies to align with the aspirations of new homeowners, who constitute a significant portion of the target demographic. The narrative further explores the juxtaposition of consumer optimism and caution, as recent data indicates a decline in consumer confidence attributed to various economic uncertainties, including inflation and fluctuating stock markets. This evolving sentiment necessitates a re-evaluation of manufacturing strategies, especially in the upholstery sector, where agility and rapid response to market fluctuations are paramount. As industry executives propose a shift from long-term planning to a more immediate, responsive approach, the discussion underscores the critical importance of adaptability in a landscape characterized by rapid change. The podcast effectively captures the essence of these transformations, urging stakeholders to embrace nimbleness in their operational paradigms to navigate the complexities of the current market landscape.Takeaways: The current furniture market exhibits a marked interest from consumers under the age of 44, particularly in the segment of casual dining sets priced below $1,000, indicating a shift towards more affordable and functional options. Recent statistics indicate that approximately one-third of dining furniture purchasers are recent homebuyers, emphasizing the strong correlation between homeownership and the demand for new furnishings. In a climate of fluctuating consumer confidence, manufacturers are urged to adopt a more agile approach, prioritizing short production runs and rapid adaptability over traditional long-term strategies. The American Home Furnishings Alliance is actively opposing proposed tariffs on lumber, which could significantly impact production costs and supply chains for domestic furniture manufacturers. LoveSac's strategic pivot towards reducing dependence on Chinese manufacturing illustrates a broader trend among furniture brands seeking to enhance supply chain resilience through diversification and nearshoring. Despite not meeting quarterly earnings expectations, RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) remains committed to leveraging its deep inventory and maintaining a long-term vision amidst economic uncertainties.

Amy Leclerc's journey from the glossy world of New York fashion publishing to franchise co-owner of Sit Still, a revolutionary children's hair salon concept, is a masterclass in career reinvention and entrepreneurial vision."I joke that every year it was a different apartment, a different job, a different boyfriend," Amy laughs, painting a vivid picture of her early New York career—a real-life "Devil Wears Prada" experience that taught her invaluable lessons about taking big swings in business. When motherhood brought her back to the Pacific Northwest, she spotted untapped potential during her son's first haircut at a local children's salon called Sit Still. The experience was unlike the primary-colored, cartoon-filled environments typically aimed at children: "Unlike the doctor's office or daycare, it was so cool... there was a retail shop selling Moroccan oil, irreverent t-shirts, temporary tattoos." That moment of discovery planted the seed for her next entrepreneurial chapter.Drawing from her experience scaling Bar 3 fitness studios from a small operation to over 150 locations nationwide, Amy approached Sit Still's founder with a vision for national expansion. She shares candid insights about what makes franchising work: "Franchising at its best should feel like paint by numbers." This means creating detailed playbooks covering everything from training protocols to bathroom amenities—all the elements that create a consistent brand experience while allowing for local market adaptation.Perhaps most compelling is Amy's philosophy on reimagining success as a working mother. Describing herself as "unemployable," she's designed a career that allows her to "play around with the Legos that are my schedule" to be present during her children's pivotal moments. "When your kids embark on middle school, high school... that's the time to be present. That is when the stakes are higher." Her story proves that entrepreneurship can create the freedom to align business success with personal values—a powerful reminder that we can design careers that serve our lives rather than the other way around.Ready to reimagine what success looks like on your own terms? Amy's journey will inspire you to take those big swings while staying true to what matters most.Resources:Sit Still Kids: https://sitstillkids.com/ The Ultimate Time Audit & Productivity System (Freebie)Grab it here: TIME AUDIT WORKBOOKHow to Hire Your First VA for $27Get it now: GROWTH CHEATSHEETDiscover Your WHY – Free 5-Day WorkshopSign up for free here: DISCOVER YOUR WHYThe Mom Balance Playbook (Freebie for Managing the Mayhem)Download here: MOM BALANCE PLAYBOOKHire a VA or start your VA business here: https://camillewalker.co/5-Minute Meditations for Kids PodcastListen & subscribe here: APPLE SPOTIFYTop 100 Mompreneur Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/mompreneur_podcasts/ Connect with Amy:LinkedIn:

Sitting still is a super power. It doesn't mean to sit rigid and motionless. It means to sit so your mind, body and nervous system can be still from the thoughts, worries, and stimulus around us. Try it.
