Podcast Notes   Episode 477 Who's Really In Charge Here? Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: August 7th, 2025 In this episode, Brian and Chad explore how coaching principles can transform leadership within organizations. They discuss the tension leaders often feel between maintaining control and empowering others, and how adopting a coaching posture—rooted in humility, curiosity, and shared authority—can lead to more collaborative and impactful decision-making. The conversation draws on real experiences and offers insight into how coaching shapes not just conversations, but entire organizational cultures. Key Highlights: Coaching in leadership often involves navigating a tension between control and collaboration. Humility is central to a coaching posture and essential for effective leadership. Leaders frequently face pressure to have all the answers, but coaching invites shared exploration. The importance of slowing down in conversations to give space for others' thinking. Organizations may superficially embrace coaching while still defaulting to top-down, directive leadership styles. Takeaways: A true coaching posture prioritizes listening over telling and curiosity over certainty. Leadership is most transformative when it empowers others rather than asserting control. Shared authority doesn't mean giving up leadership—it means leading differently. Slowing down your responses and allowing others to process can create more meaningful and insightful conversations.

In today's fast-paced world, Christian leaders are often caught on the “ministry hamster wheel”—spinning endlessly with meetings, sermons, crises, and expectations. But what if the most radical, missional act we could take isn't to do more, but to slow down? In this episode, Pete Scazzero calls us to break free from the cycle of overload and distraction by embracing a countercultural rhythm of life rooted in Jesus. Drawing from personal experience and church history, Pete shows how slowing down is not self-care—it's spiritual resistance. It's leadership. It's mission. This is the first episode in a new series on the 8 Marks of an Emotionally Healthy Culture, beginning with the most foundational mark: Slowing down to be with God before doing for Him. If you're longing for a church culture marked by peace instead of anxiety, depth instead of shallowness, and prayerful leadership instead of constant reaction—this episode is for you.

About this Episode Is achieving a secure attachment really the ultimate marker of relationship success or could this mindset be doing more harm than good? In the quest for intimacy and connection, many of us fall into the trap of labeling ourselves and our partners, clinging to the idea that “secure” is the only way to be. But what happens when relationships don't fit neatly into these categories, or when past experiences have shaped us in ways that make security seem out of reach? The pressure to be “securely attached” can sometimes backfire, leading to shame, blame, and a sense of hopelessness. In this episode, you'll discover why secure attachment doesn't have to be the ultimate destination, and why striving for secure functioning—those daily choices and mindful practices that build safety and trust—can be a far more compassionate and realistic goal. Drawing on insights from trauma work, attachment research, and couples therapy, this conversation unpacks the pitfalls of categorizing relationships as “good” or “bad,” explores the nuances of healing within partnership, and offers actionable ways to build resilience, understanding, and growth—no matter where you are on the attachment spectrum. Hanna Basel is a seasoned couples therapist and certified sex therapist. With expertise in attachment, trauma, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), she helps people untangle their most complicated relationship patterns. As a former addictions counselor, Hanna brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She has been featured on CNN, Kare 11, MSN, and numerous podcasts where she talked about her ultimate and simple goal: to help people build relationships that help us heal and thrive. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website. Episode Highlights  04:23 Hannah's path to couples therapy: From personal struggles to professional passion. 12:25 Understanding secure attachment and relationship dynamics. 15:26 Embracing relationship growth as a lifelong practice. 19:03 Debunking the myth that you must heal yourself before getting into a relationship. 22:00 Balancing guidance and judgment. 25:37 Neuroplasticity: How relationships shape and reshape attachment. 27:59 Understanding trauma's role in relationship dynamics. 33:38 Compassion with boundaries. 34:59 Balancing love and constructive criticism. 39:07 Pacing, timing, and emotional safety in relationship repair. 42:10 Understanding pain and betrayal. 46:36 Slowing down for better attunement. 47:57 Breaking the cycle.

July was a challenging month for travel and tourism in South East Asia. A military conflict between Thailand and Cambodia shook the region. New 'reciprocal' US tariff rates will challenge bottom lines and business travel budgets for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, mixed results continue for visitor arrivals, consumer spending and travel sentiment. This month's Top 10 Travel Talking Points round-up takes Gary and Hannah from Malaysia to Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines and, inevitably given the global geo-economic situation, Washington DC. En route we discuss the potential implications of the Thailand-Cambodia War, the new US tariff rates and the Asian Development Bank's gloomy GDP forecasts for the region. Plus, we assess the latest visitor arrivals statistics - and Malaysia's controversial new accounting method - look at Singapore's tourism partnership with OpenAI, Hotel 101's lacklustre IPO in New York, and further delays for Thailand's casino resort legislation and tourism tax  And, we finish on a positive note with the newly inscribed UNESCO World Heritage Sites across South East Asia.

In today's episode, I'm getting personal and sharing a story that I honestly find a little embarrassing. I'm not always graceful with transitions—especially when it comes to slowing down. Summer is usually a time when my energy and my business naturally slow down, but even though I know it's good for me, I can resist it pretty intensely.I know this isn't just me. I see it in my clients and in myself: there's this tension between wanting to slow down and the nervous system's resistance to it. We often push ourselves through that resistance and feel frustrated when we can't just “switch off” or enjoy the downtime we think we should be having.I'm sharing my experience with you because I want to remind you that you're not alone in this struggle. Slowing down can feel awkward, frustrating, and even a little depressing. But it doesn't have to be perfect to be valuable. I've been learning that, and I want to offer you some tools that are helping me navigate this transition, like my mantra Slow Summer and some simple self-regulation practices.In this episode, I dive into:Why transitions can be awkward and difficult (even when we know they're needed)How to embrace slow without judgment or self-criticismThe power of giving yourself grace through the discomfort of shifting gearsA self-reflection practice to help you release pressure and soften into your natural rhythmIf you're feeling stuck in a similar transition or struggling with the pressure to “do more,” I invite you to consider how embracing slow can actually help you feel more aligned. And if you need support along the way, I'd love to help.Ready to slow down but need support?I'm opening up my one-on-one coaching for the fall. If you're tired of pushing through and want to create more space for what feels good, I'd love to help you do that. You can learn more and join the waitlist at www.annaholtzman.com.

About this Episode Many couples find themselves caught in unproductive loops of reactivity, defensiveness, and miscommunication, often rooted in old patterns and unhealed wounds. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same arguments, or struggled to respond with empathy instead of reacting on autopilot, you're not alone. Conflict doesn't have to drive you and your partner apart. In fact, the way you handle disagreements might be the very thing that brings you closer together or pushes you further away. In this episode, you'll discover practical strategies for staying close through conflict by learning to respond rather than react. You'll hear about how early family dynamics shape our adult responses, why curiosity can be a game-changer, and why true empathy starts with self-compassion. Through insightful metaphors like comparing relationships to yoga practice or learning to slow down a speeding car—you'll find tools to recognize when you're becoming triggered, regulate your emotions, and open space for meaningful, connected conversations. Whether your relationship is feeling the strain of busy daily life or you simply want to deepen your ability to navigate challenges together, this episode offers actionable guidance for building lasting intimacy through the most difficult moments.

Far too often we hear the same story, a woman gets diagnosed with fibroids and is told her only option is a full hysterectomy. In this interview, Kit Maloney and Rachel Rose talk with Miara Pack, who shares her journey of saying no to the white coat and bravely charting her own course. Miara opens up about her experience with painful cycles and dismissive doctors and her choice to pursue natural healing: yoni steaming, breathwork, and lifestyle changes alongside western medical care. A cornerstone of her healing was her connection with Kit, the founder of Kitara, whose compassionate presence was a consistent source of strength, wisdom, and love. We're honored to share this conversation of healing, self-empowerment, and the sacred bond between women supporting each other to reconnect to their wombs and inner wisdom. Visit www.kitaralove.com for intentionally designed and expertly crafted products for safe and easy yoni steaming at home.  Learn more about yoni steaming and fibroids.

High achievers often rush into execution mode before clearly defining desired outcomes, leading to misaligned results and wasted resources. Slowing down to clarify what success actually looks like becomes a force multiplier for your time and effort.In today's episode you will learn about:• Our natural instinct as high achievers is to jump straight into building mode when improving processes or programs• Planning feels slow while execution gives us the satisfaction of immediate progress• A critical question before any initiative: "What result do I actually want this to create?"• Case study of an executive revamping a leadership program by first defining desired outcomes• Defining impact before building prevents misaligned decisions and team confusion• Clarity upfront becomes a "force multiplier" for your time and resources• Apply this principle when rebuilding processes, restructuring teams, or launching new services• When leading others, ask "what outcomes do we want to achieve together?"If today's insight resonated and you're ready for more clarity, structure and progress in your business, let's connect. I partner with high performing leaders and business owners who are navigating growth and want a strategic thought partner to help them follow through on what matters most. You'll find details about one-on-one coaching in the show notes.Interested in 1:1 Coaching?Kristin partners with high-performing financial advisors, leaders, and business owners who are ready to lead with more clarity, focus, and intention.Clients often come to her with a strong vision—but they aren't sure how to close the gap between where they are now and where they want to go.

All links - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON2025 - Week 29 - Practicing GratitudeLast night in a Zoom for a 12 day healthy reset program I shared some ways to stay grounded and slow down in this fast-paced world. If you listen to my podcast on a regular basis, you may have noticed that this episode is coming out a few days later than usual. That's because I've decided to slow down even more. I'm slowing down with feeling the need and the pressure of having the podcast come out every week on Tuesday morning. I'm slowing down with the activities I do. I'm slowing down so I can truly savor this one beautiful life I know…right now.I feel a change coming and instead of going against the change, I'm moving with the flow of what feels just right for me right now. If you listened last week, Episode 29: Practicing Gratitude,| talked about being routine averse, so the fact that I've done a podcast for close to eight years is pretty awesome in my book. Yes, as my mother would say, baby patch yourself on the back. Lol.I started this podcast in 2017/2018ish. I continue to learn to embrace change and to trust my inner guidance on what is next. The interesting thing about having an audio podcast is there isn't usually a place for people to leave comments or connect with the host. I am so grateful for the people that listen to my podcast across all the various platforms and recently I've been enjoying sharing a partial upload to the Insight Timer app and I love that people take the time to leave comments there and other places where they can.Did you know that only about one percent of the top podcasters make money from their podcast? And the ones who do either have paid sponsorships or ads running on their podcast. Mostly podcasting is indirect marketing for content creators. 

Most swimmers think a harder kick equals more speed. But for adult swimmers and triathletes, it usually means more effort and less progress. So, if your legs feel heavy, your breathing feels rushed, or you're constantly tired after short swims, it might be your kick that's holding you back. Let's fix it. 00:32 Mistake #1: Kicking From the Knees 02:33 Mistake #2: Too Much Kick 06:16 Mistake #3: Stiff Ankles 08:29 Mistake #4: Using It For Propulsion 09:15 Bonus Cue: Fishtail Feet

Click here to send me a quick message :) Recently, I've been noticing this concept of "emergent process" coming up. Between all of us navigating the collective unknowns, relationship shifts and changes, personal upheavals, and whatever else is happening -there is also somehow a theme I've been hearing of needing to let go and trust.And it's in this vein that the "emergent process" shows up. It's all about allowing your body's inner wisdom to guide you, whether though physical signs and symptoms, somatic awareness, or deeper intuitive listening.But what exactly is it and how does this relate to your cycles, hormones or wombspace?Listen to find out.Resources:Today's shownotes: What is an "emergent process"?Free Track Your Cycle (FAM) guideEpisode 28: Rhythms of your wombEpisode 171: Healing embodied trauma w Somatic ExperiencingEpisode 174: Slowing down to body timeIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

You're stuck. You've been working hard, putting in the hours, reading the books, and yet... there's no meaningful progress toward your goals. What's going on?  The answer lies in a powerful concept from systems thinking that could completely transform how you approach any challenge.  Every system, whether it's your business, health journey, or relationship, has one critical bottleneck that's holding everything else back. This is your "number one constraint," and until you identify and address it specifically, all your other efforts might be wasted energy.  SO, how do you figure it out?  The episode introduces a powerful diagnostic question that cuts through confusion. The answer often points directly to your primary constraint. This simple framework works whether you're building a business, improving your fitness, or enhancing your relationships.  Most importantly, you'll understand why putting tremendous effort into solving the wrong problems leads nowhere, even when those efforts seem productive. By getting crystal clear about your destination and systematically identifying what's truly holding you back, you can finally make the progress that's eluded you.  Ready to break through what's really blocking your potential? Listen now, and discover how to focus your limited resources on what actually matters for your unique journey forward.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Even after years of tantra, pleasure work, and healing, you can still find yourself having disconnected sex, obligation sex, or even “Let's just get it over with” sex. And you're not broken for that. In this episode, Pleasure Is a Practice: Why Good Sex Doesn't Just Happen, we pull back the curtain on our own sexual evolution, what we used to believe was “good sex” (think: drunk, performative, porn-scripted), and how it's now become something radically different.Some other things we tackled are…Slowing down until the nervous system says yesListening to the body instead of chasing orgasmHonouring the grief, rage, or tenderness that arises mid-pleasureGiving and receiving pussy or cock massage without pressureExpanding intimacy through energy, breath, and presence This isn't about fixing you.  You already know your body is sacred. This is about creating the kind of space where that sacredness gets to be witnessed, met, and fully felt…together. Another thing, if you would like to learn more about Couples Retreats at Phoenix Rising Retreats and/or Private Coaching, book a complimentary Exploratory Call with Kim here - https://calendly.com/talk-to-kim/exploration-call.  Something you might like is that when you book your free call before July 31, 2025, to learn more, you will receive $1000 off a retreat of your choice in 2025!   About us: Kim & Roberto are the co-founders of Phoenix Rising Retreats, and the real-life couple behind the mic.
