That connection to growth, curiosity, and creativity mirrors her professional mission: helping organizations build stable foundations that allow innovation to flourish.Sara explains that many businesses operate in a state of overwhelm. When systems are chaotic, it becomes nearly impossible for teams to think clearly, creatively, or strategically. Her first step when working with a client? Stabilize.

The Fear Won't Disappear, But You'll Rise Above It. Stepping into your soul purpose isn't just about mastering your gifts because it's about facing the fears that come with being fully seen. I've been there. When I first started channeling, my ego screamed: “You're making this up.” The fear of being judged, misunderstood, or rejected was so real, but so was the calling. Here's what I've learned: ✨ Fear is not a stop sign. It's an initiation. In this powerful session, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes of my own spiritual awakening: → How I navigated doubt when I first started channeling → What it took to overcome fear of visibility → The mindset shifts that helped me step fully into my soul-aligned business and purpose If you've been holding back, waiting for fear to go away before you act this is your message. The universe is calling. And your purpose can't wait. You'll Discover: ✔️ Why fear and doubt are normal (and how to work with them, not against them) ✔️ The fastest way to build confidence in your spiritual gifts (hint: it's not about waiting) ✔️ Why visibility triggers us and how to move through the fear of being seen ✔️ The mindset shift that separates stuck healers from rising light leaders ✔️ My personal journey from “Am I making this up?” to leading live events, channelling on stage, and building a soul-led business

Meet Katie K. May and Shaelene Kite, the co-founders of Stabilize and Scale, where they help group practice owners make data-driven, values-aligned decisions. Together, they have supported over 60 six- and seven-figure practices in building sustainable systems, leading with clarity, and scaling without burnout. In this episode they share how they met on Facebook as DBT practice owners who became battle buddies during the pandemic. In developing their program they created a place for group practice owners to celebrate wins and successes while growing a group practice without overwhelm. They share the harsh realities they experienced along their journeys and how they stepped into leadership and help others do the same.Key Takeaways:-connect with people who are doing what you want to be doing-step into leadership and have systems documented with clear expectations-know your numbers-to be a successful group practice owner you have to want to lead people-your business is a mirror for your inner landscape-distance yourself from the life happiness of the people on your team-you rent employees, you do not own them-the business owners job is to keep the business going-employees are always going to choose themselves over the business-the more you let you the more you attractKatie and Shaelene's Links:Stabilize and ScaleNumbers Aren't NastyInstagram
China's Central Bank has recently announced cuts in the reserve requirement ratio and policy rates and lowered interest rates on personal housing provident fund loans. The measures are part of China's new financial incentives to stabilize the economy. The People's Bank of China also unveiled supportive policies for scientific innovation and expanding consumption. What are the potential impacts of all these policies? What is China's economic strategy amid external uncertainties? How will the country move forward? To explore all these questions, host Zhao Yang spoke with Yan Liang, a professor of economics at Willamette University; Li Lun, an assistant professor of economics at Peking University; and Professor Qu Qiang, a fellow of the Belt and Road Research Center at Minzu University of China.

In this episode of The Rocky Garza Show, I sit down with my friend Matt Plumer—a financial and business coach who helps real estate professionals create real freedom, build wealth, and design lives they actually want to live. We didn't just talk strategy—we got honest about what it takes to lead well when you're in the trenches of building something that matters.Matt is a guy who's created a life that many people want: location freedom, profitable business, Friday golf, and a marriage that matters. But getting there—and staying there—has required some deep internal work, commitment, and daily consistency.And that's what this episode is really about: what does it look like to stay the course even when things are messy?About Matt PlumerMatt Plumer is an Expert Financial and Business Coach, Acclaimed Speaker and Author Transforming Real Estate Success. Matt specializes in empowering real estate agents to create scalable wealth, unlocking true time and money freedom. With his strategic expertise, Matt helps agents build more profitable, sustainable businesses that don't just generate income, but build the dream lifestyles they aspire to.By working with Matt, real estate professionals discover how to grow their profits, scale their businesses, and design a life full of opportunities, financial freedom, and lasting success.Owning Who You Are and Leading Without an AgendaMatt shared a powerful perspective: he sees his purpose as serving the people in front of him, without an agenda. It's a simple but deeply grounded philosophy. And the more he leans into that calling, the more life he gets to live—on his terms.We talked about how that doesn't come without friction. Even when life feels good on the surface—profitable business, great clients, weekly golf—there's still that inner voice asking, “Are we really doing what we're supposed to be doing?”High Activity, Low ProgressWe dove into something I see all the time in entrepreneurs: high activity with low progress. When you try to do it all yourself, it feels like you're doing a lot—but you're actually just moving slower. Or worse, running enthusiastically in the wrong direction.Matt talked about how he's learning to get out of his own way by empowering others, delegating, and focusing on the right wall to lean his ladder against—before climbing it.Stabilize the Present to Structure the FutureMatt's current season is about building something sustainable, not just scalable. After five years of laying the groundwork with hundreds of one-on-one coaching calls, he's now able to say, “Here's the singular target”—and build around it.We explored how focusing on one goal, one offer, and one audience allows you to serve better—and live more clearly.The Phone, the Gym, and the Wake-Up CallOne of the most powerful moments came when Matt shared how distractions—and specifically his phone—were stealing his attention from the people who matter most. He literally got a second phone just for workouts, with only two apps on it, to stay focused.Why? Because his wife Melinda called him out. She asked him the tough question: “What's more important—your phone or me?” And that moment was a turning point.This wasn't about tech or productivity hacks. This was about alignment. And it started with a painful realization that even good intentions don't always align with our values—unless we're willing to confront them.Leadership Starts at HomeWe talked about how the lessons we learn in marriage often translate directly to our businesses. If we violate someone else's values—even unintentionally—we create tension. And the same applies to staff, clients, and community. When we know what people value, we can lead with clarity and authenticity.Matt's story is a reminder that the cost of ignoring that alignment is too high—personally and professionally.What You Tolerate Is What You GetMatt's journey reminded me again: your life, your leadership, and your legacy will always be shaped by what you tolerate. If you want something different, you have to raise your standard. That might mean setting boundaries with your calendar, your team, or your own bad habits.And that shift starts with one simple question: “Am I honoring what I say matters most?”Final ThoughtsMatt's a coach, yes. But he's also a husband, a builder, and someone who's chosen consistency over chaos—even when that means slowing down to speed up.This conversation was a powerful reminder: commitment isn't glamorous. Consistency isn't sexy. But both will change your life.If this episode struck a chord, I'd love to invite you to my upcoming workshop: Lead Without Losing Yourself. We'll dig deeper into the clarity, tools, and strategies you need to lead with purpose and alignment.You can also check out Matt's free eBook at mattplumer.com/ebook to learn more about creating Stress Free Wealth.As always, be seen, be known, and lead well.Until next time—when life gets hard, prove it.Resources Mentionedmattplumer.com/ebook – Download Matt's free ebookrockygarza.com/confidence – Join my free monthly leadership workshopKey Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Rocky Garza Show00:23 Meet Matt Plumer: Financial and Business Coach00:57 Matt's Journey and Current Challenges02:25 Balancing Business and Personal Life04:46 The Importance of Alignment and Values07:26 Operational Shifts and Future Goals11:08 Managing Distractions and Staying Focused15:59 Personal Reflections and Relationship Insights26:21 Final Thoughts and Workshop InvitationTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Welcome to Episode 251 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked factors keeping our kids from thriving — a dysregulated nervous system.If your child seems anxious, reactive, or shut down, it's not who they are — it's how their body is responding to stress.

Loss of muscle mass or sarcopenia occurs with both aging and rapid weight loss with the use of GLP-1 medications or other weight loss methods. Sarcopenia is a decrease in the actual number of muscle fibers which can lead to weakness, a decrease in basal metabolic rate and difficulties with gaining strength. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss strategies for minimizing sarcopenia through regular exercise and patience. There is no magic bullet here but staying consistent and continuing to progress a client's exercise program is key to combating this challenging side effect!Moving Conversation Socials Post Rehab Summit:https://thefirmbodypilates.com/post-rehab-summit/ Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6 Youtube: www.youtube.com/@brianrichey Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/ Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7

Send us a textToday, we're tackling one of the biggest stressors in medical practice ownership—cash flow instability.If you've ever found yourself wondering why your revenue fluctuates so much, why some months feel like you're drowning in expenses while others feel just fine, or why no matter how hard you work, the financial security of your practice always seems uncertain—this episode is for you.Here's the hard truth: many medical groups are riding a financial rollercoaster, completely at the mercy of insurance reimbursements, seasonal slowdowns, and shifting regulations. And the worst part? Most physicians were never taught how to avoid it. They went to medical school to learn how to practice medicine—not run a business.But the good news? There are practical solutions that can stabilize cash flow, reduce financial stress, and ensure a thriving, resilient practice. And it all starts with diversifying your revenue streams.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Compassion is one of the most powerful energies we have as leaders of our own lives as well as in our teams, families, organizations, communities, projects and the society we co-create. But compassion is also one of those things that can feel so vast that we don't know quite how to employ it – especially in realms like business, our work projects, or in situations that trigger our own defense mechanisms and sense of safety. One of my super powers is taking big, vast concepts like compassion and breaking them down so we can practically access and use this power in ways that elevate and influence the fields of interaction we find ourselves — within ourselves, with others, the world or a situation we find ourselves in. Between 2010-2015 I did a deep dive into the “energy” of compassion – to understand it and break it down into what I call the 8 Facets of Compassion. I've been practicing and teaching these 8 facets ever since, not as a perfection to live up to, but as a practice and a strategy to come home to. As I look around at the tools, perspectives, practices that can give us super power NOW to survive, stabilize, and elevate ourselves, and the people, projects, and systems we lead, love and influence, COMPASSION is at the top of the list. This episode is a little longer because compassion requires us to slow down :) breath :) and get into our bodies and hearts :) Here's some of what we will explore together: What compassion is and what it isn't (hint: it's not about being nice or condoning) What compassion does to distorted power and leadership (stealth super power!) Feeling compassion as a frequency - (a meditation) The "Ick" factor that drags us down + how compassion can clear off the ick The 8 facets of compassion + how to use them to now See you there!

Many people with low back pain limit their movement in various ways to decrease pain and the likelihood of reinjury. We have spent several episodes on training neutral spine, understanding dynamic lumbopelvic control and enhancing client awareness. All of these are foundational skills to minimize pain and help the client make progress. Once these skills are mastered, it is essential to keep progressing toward a full return to activity. Increasing range of motion, increasing load, improving postural endurance, mastering rotation and integrating the lower back into the rest of the body are key. We'll discuss principles and practical exercises for gradually getting back into action!Moving Conversation Socials Post Rehab Summit:https://thefirmbodypilates.com/post-rehab-summit/ Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6 Youtube: www.youtube.com/@brianrichey Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/ Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Codie Sanchez is an entrepreneur and investor known for founding Contrarian Thinking, a media and business education company. She has a diverse background, including entrepreneurship, finance, and journalism. Through her book "Main Street Millionaire," she advocates for wealth-building by acquiring small businesses and shares her insights on financial independence and business success. Codie emphasizes practical, contrarian approaches to wealth and leadership. Notes: Her dad always said to her: ‘You're not going to be a princess, you're going to be the president' – It's a great reminder of the power we have as leaders to believe in someone and raise their level of expectations because you see something special in them. Codie was glowing while talking about her dad. How Codie earned a job at Vanguard. She went to conferences. She met people. She got IN THE ROOM and took action. And then when she got her opportunity, she led with her curiosity, asked questions from the woman she met with, learned, read the books she told her to read, and followed up. Showing up, doing extra, and following up are a great way to earn a job that you might not be qualified for. How you start and end your meetings. What type of energy do you bring to the space? Remember, you no longer get to be energy-neutral as a leader. You're either lifting the room up or taking it away. We want to add energy additives to the rooms we enter. One of Codie's favorite books – Letters to a Young Contrarian by Cristopher Hitchins. “What I like about Christopher Hitchens, he pushed back against the common narrative in a time where to be an activist was really frowned upon” “He was what the people these days that say they're activists actually are. He really had no loyalty to any type of thought; he was simply trying to find the truth. He was the inspiration for contrarian thinking” Career Path – “I don't believe that humans have linear paths ever. Anyone who has had an interesting career in my opinion has had a completely divergent set of experiences. High Performers: They hate small talk. Are not okay with wasting your time. Do what they say they're going to do. Do it with urgency. Are obsessed, not just interested. Goal Setting: “If you want to be a person who hits your goals: Skip setting goals and set sacrifices. What are you willing to give up to get what you want? That is the missing piece to winning. Every one of your goals has a price." Codie's Anti-Goals: Being an employee/work for others, Selling other people's products, Speaking for free, Coffee meetings. The richest self-made woman in the US is… Diane Hendricks (co-founded the largest wholesale roofing, siding, and window distribution company). There are billions in the boring. Writing = Clarifying Your Thinking Writing helps Codie think clearly and organize her thoughts. The process of writing demands coherence and structure, unlike verbal communication. 4 Parts to buy a business - Cover debt, Cash to have an operator, Money to make a salary, Operating cash. 3, 9, 12 method - Learn the 10 steps in the first 3 months.
