Podcasts about stages

Isabel Bescos, Partner at Entrepreneurs First, shares how EF identifies exceptional founders before they have a company, co-founder, product, or even a business idea. She explains why EF considers itself a talent investor, what it means to invest in individuals at a stage even earlier than pre-seed, and the characteristics she looks for when evaluating potential founders. Isabel discusses will to power, personal exceptionalism, followership, resilience, and bias to action as key founder traits. She explains why great founders matter more than great ideas at the earliest stage, how founders can prepare before approaching EF, why building a venture-backed company is harder and less glamorous than it appears, and why an investor's "no" can sometimes mean "not yet." In this episode, you'll learn: [05:32] Why Entrepreneurs First calls itself a talent investor and backs individuals before they have a fully formed company, team, or idea. [08:46] What EF looks for in potential founders, including grit, will to power, personal exceptionalism, and followership. [16:15] Why the founder can matter more than the idea at the earliest stage — and why exceptional people can find exceptional problems to solve. [17:24] How founders can prepare before approaching EF by demonstrating a bias to action, experimenting with ideas, and understanding why now is the right time to build. [20:32] Why building a startup is becoming more competitive and why resilience, long-term conviction, and the willingness to face setbacks matter more than ever. [24:38] Why EF says no to founders and why a rejection can sometimes mean "not yet" rather than "never." The nonprofit organization Isabel is passionate about: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) About Isabel Bescos Isabel Bescos is a Partner at Entrepreneurs First, where she works with founders building companies for the U.S. market from San Francisco. Before joining EF, Isabel was an early employee at BlaBlaCar, helping the company expand internationally across Europe and other global markets. She later worked in venture capital at Balderton Capital before founding and running her own company focused on helping remote teams work more effectively. Isabel grew up in Belgium and studied psychology in the UK and the United States. Her experience as an operator, founder, and investor gives her a perspective across multiple stages of the startup journey.

Cecilia Gonzalez joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to talk about the ten years she spent in an abusive relationship that started at fourteen, and how she now teaches teens to catch the first yellow flag before it happens to them.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction (03:20) - Why Love Has to Start at Home (07:15) - Control That Looked Like Protection (10:42) - Jealousy, La Tóxica, and the Stages of Love (14:29) - The Wrong Bus: Love Bombing and the Phone Cycle (17:56) - Blame, Eggshells, and "I Can Fix It" (24:01) - The Music Video That Made Her Leave (27:51) - Three Skills: Communication, Equality, Rights About Cecilia GonzalezCecilia Gonzalez is the Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinator at Higher Ground Youth and Family Services in Orange County. Her students know her as Ceci. She is part of a team that delivers near peer prevention in local middle and high schools, teaching from lived experience rather than from a textbook, and she builds her presentations around quotes and stories that teens recognize from their own lives. She entered an abusive relationship at fourteen with an older partner and stayed in it for ten years, a decade she now uses to show students how control can arrive disguised as protection. She left at twenty-four, when her oldest daughter was two months old. Today she is raising three daughters, and she talks with students about la tóxica, love bombing, the silent treatment, and the rights every young person has: to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Key Points• Control often arrives in the language of protection, which is why it survives the first look. Ceci's partner came to her soccer practices to walk her home safely, and that became the reason she should stop playing.• The silent treatment is the first flag most teens miss. Someone who cares will have the conversation about what went wrong; withholding it is a punishment, and it shows up long before anything physical does.• An apology that arrives as a gift is one more turn of the cycle. He broke her phone whenever he got angry and replaced it within hours with one her parents could not have afforded, which made the next break easier to absorb.• Time in the wrong relationship is the cost that compounds. Ceci tells students, "If you get on the wrong bus, make sure you get off on the first stop," because she stayed on from fourteen to twenty-four.• Blame does its damage by moving the rules off the record. Once she was reading his face for permission he never had to forbid anything out loud, and she started deciding for herself not to see her friends.• A teen's playlist is a way in, and calling it bad music closes the door. Ceci wanted her mother to ask why she loved the sad, heartbroken songs she played loud enough to get told to turn them down.• Home sets the first model of love, so prevention starts before any relationship does. Ceci grew up without a picture of what affection looks like and assembled one from television, the same gap she now watches teens fill with Euphoria.• Teens act on rights before they act on warning signs. Ceci says the first two skills would have been lost on her at fourteen, but "Hey, Ceci, you have rights" would have landed: the right to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Resources• Higher Ground Youth & Family Services• Higher Ground's Human Trafficking Prevention Program (HTPP)• Global Center for Women and Justice• Safe Communities, Safe Kids (GCWJ, Samueli Foundation grant)• Lil Wayne, "How to Love" (official music video)

Thinking About Drinking Again After Going Alcohol-Free? Once you've gotten a period of time alcohol-free, how do you protect the progress you've made and avoid sliding back into the drinking cycle? Going back to drinking usually doesn't begin when you actually pick up a glass. There are often emotional and mental warning signs that show up long before the physical act of drinking—and learning to recognize them gives you an opportunity to interrupt the process before you find yourself back in the drink → regret → repeat cycle. I know because I've lived it. That's why I wanted to have this conversation with Angela Pugh, master life coach, interventionist and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast. Angela has been alcohol-free since 2006, and we're talking about the three stages of relapse—emotional, mental and physical—how to recognize the warning signs at each stage, and what you can do before drinking starts to feel inevitable.

Encore Episode!! After over a decade of working with thousands of women, I've become really good at mapping out the entire divorce process and pinpointing where on that map someone might land. I've become so good at it that I actually created something I'm calling The Divorce Roadmap. In this episode, I share the three stages of the Roadmap: Awareness, Action, and Moving On, and explore the various phases within each stage. Divorce journeys are almost never linear, they ebb and flow and have hard times and times when things fall neatly into place. Knowing where you are on your journey can help you prepare for what's to come. If, after listening to this episode, you have found yourself somewhere along the map described, I have resources for every phase and every stage. You can download your divorce roadmap after listening to this episode.  What you'll hear about in this episode: The three stages of the Divorce Roadmap: Awareness, Action, and Moving On Awareness stage: questioning, dawning realization, begging and bargaining, and finally acceptance Action stage: having the talk, making big decisions, telling the kids, and more Moving On stage: co-parenting, dating, single by choice, a first relationship, a first heartbreak, and possibly family blending Why the journey rarely moves in a straight line, and how stages like anger and grief, or questioning and backsliding, tend to loop back on each other Resources & Links: Your Divorce Roadmap Focused Strategy Sessions with Kate The Divorce Survival Guide Resource Bundle Phoenix Rising: A Divorce Empowerment Collective Kate on Instagram Kate on Facebook Kate's Substack Newsletter: Divorce Coaching Dispatch The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast Episodes are also available YouTube!

Getting more views, followers, and attention on social media does not automatically mean you're building a profitable business. In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames breaks down the four stages of visibility every entrepreneur, creator, and personal brand needs to understand: Being seen. Being known. Being trusted. Being paid. Michelle shares what she has learned firsthand after generating millions of views, creating local content that has reached hundreds of thousands of people, attracting brand opportunities, and watching her content open doors for both her business and the businesses she features. The biggest lesson? A viral video is not a business strategy. It's an attention event. If your visibility doesn't lead people somewhere, you may be getting attention without creating revenue. In this episode, you'll learn: Why more followers may not be the solution to your business growth problem The difference between being seen and actually becoming known How positioning helps people associate your name with a specific problem, solution, or expertise Why constantly posting random content can actually confuse your audience How to build trust through consistency, case studies, stories, results, and showing how you think Why your audience needs proof before they are ready to buy How to turn social media visibility into clients, partnerships, speaking opportunities, and revenue Why every piece of attention needs a clear destination How to create a visibility ecosystem using social media, podcasts, email marketing, events, offers, and community The four questions you should ask when auditing your current personal brand and content strategy Michelle also shares how her recent return to content creation has helped her rethink her own business ecosystem and why the ultimate goal is not simply going viral. The goal is becoming known by the right people, trusted for the right thing, and paid for the value you provide. The 4 Stages of Visibility 1. Seen: People discover you. 2. Known: People begin associating you with a specific topic, solution, or expertise. 3. Trusted: Your content, experience, results, stories, and consistency give people a reason to believe you can help them. 4. Paid: Your visibility leads to a clear offer, opportunity, client, partnership, product, service, event, or community. If people are watching your content but you're struggling to turn that attention into business, this episode will help you identify exactly where the disconnect may be. Join Connected & Paid Connected & Paid is where Michelle is helping women actually build this muscle. Inside the community, women entrepreneurs and professionals are learning how to become more visible, strengthen their positioning, build strategic relationships, create opportunities, follow up, make the ask, and ultimately turn visibility into revenue. If you've been thinking: “People are watching me, but I'm not making enough money.” or “I know I'm good at what I do, but I'm not known for it yet.” Connected & Paid was created to help you bridge that gap. Check the links in the show notes to learn more about Connected & Paid and connect with Michelle before joining. Your Visibility Audit After listening, ask yourself: Can people see me? Do people know me for something specific? Have I given people enough evidence to trust me? Is there an obvious way for people to pay me? Because visibility without a next step is just attention. Share This Episode Know an entrepreneur who keeps saying, “I just need more followers”? Send them this episode. You may not need a bigger audience. You may need a better strategy for moving the audience you already have from: Seen → Known → Trusted → Paid. If you're listening on Spotify, answer the episode question: Which stage are you in right now: seen, known, trusted, or paid?

After a few years of seeing Jewish plays “debating” Israel/Palestine, Jewish Currents editor-at-large Arielle Angel and theater critic Alisa Solomon explored the phenomenon through an exchange of letters, which were published this week. On this episode of On the Nose, they discuss the plays that fall into this category: most recently, the critically acclaimed Birthright by Jonathan Spector, but also including The Zionists by S. Asher Gelman, Giant by Mark Rosenblatt, The Ally by Itamar Moses, and Prayer for the French Republic by Joshua Harmon. They detail the compulsive repetition of these plays and they explore why Jewish hand-wringing is being consistently elevated during a moment of genocide, and why it appears so popular with critics and liberal audiences alike.

What if the problem isn't that you need more stages — but that your message isn't clear enough to earn them?In this episode of Become Empowered, Sabine sits down with speaker, author, and coach Marta Spirk — a fellow performer who traded the entertainment stage for a mission of guiding women to find their voice and own the spotlight.Marta shares her remarkable journey: growing up singing in her mother's church in Brazil, building a career in translation and interpreting, singing the national anthem for pro sports teams across Colorado, and the 2016 "plot twist" that changed everything — learning five weeks into her first pregnancy that she was carrying triplets.Together, Sabine and Marta explore the abundance mindset that says there is room for every voice, why believing you have something valuable to say is the real starting line, and the patience it takes to build something that lasts.In this conversation:Why "what got you here won't get you there" applies to every speakerThe most common belief blocking women from the stageWhy clarity — not more eyeballs — is the key to being rememberedHow defeat and lost control became Marta's greatest teachersHer father's one-word wedding-day advice that still guides her businessConnect with Marta Spirk:Website: MartaSpirk.comLinkedIn, Facebook & Instagram: Marta SpirkConnect with Sabine:Website: sabinekvenberg.comBook a call: calendly.com/coachsabine/connect-with-sabineOrder Gumption: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCW45FXJ

Note: "This episode discusses psychedelics as a mental health and personal growth tool. This is not medical advice. Laws on psychedelic substances vary by location, please understand and follow the laws where you live. If you're considering this path, consult a qualified, licensed professional." There's a quiet shift happening in the way we think about mental health. Tools once pushed to the margins are now being studied in labs and discussed in therapy rooms. This episode looks at one of those tools, psychedelics, and what they might mean for healing, growth, and how we understand ourselves. Stephan Kerby, founder of Mindscape Psychedelic Institute, joins host Swati to unpack the biggest misconceptions about psychedelics, why the real work happens after the experience, not during it, and what it actually takes to bring insight into ordinary, everyday life. About the Guest: Stephan Kerby is a psychedelic practitioner, integration specialist, and founder of Mindscape Psychedelic Institute, where he trains therapists, facilitators, and guides in trauma-informed approaches to psychedelic work. His teaching focuses on nervous system stability, ethics, and embodiment, and he is the author of several books on psychedelic facilitation and integration, including The Embodiment Protocol. Key Takeaways: Psychedelics aren't magic, think of them as an amplifier, they can offer a new perspective, but you still have to live it out afterward. The real work is integration, weaving an insight into daily life over time, without it, most experiences simply fade. Healing tends to move in a spiral, not a straight line, expect to revisit the same lessons, hopefully with more clarity each time. Community and connection with others who understand your experience often matter as much as any single practice. None of us are guaranteed unlimited time, if something in your life feels unsatisfying, that's reason enough to look closer at it.

Investigators zeroed in on a white Hyundai Elantra after reviewing surveillance footage from the neighborhood around the King Road residence, where Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed. Cameras captured a light-colored sedan repeatedly traveling through the area during the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, including several passes near the house before the killings and a rapid departure afterward. Investigators initially believed the vehicle was a 2011–2013 Hyundai Elantra, then expanded the possible model years as the analysis continued. Police agencies were asked to search registration records and locate matching vehicles, turning the unidentified Elantra into one of the investigation's most important leads.That search eventually pointed investigators toward Bryan Kohberger, who owned a white 2015 Hyundai Elantra and was living in Pullman, Washington, only a short drive from Moscow. Washington State University police identified Kohberger's vehicle after searching university registration information, and an officer subsequently located it near his apartment. Investigators then connected Kohberger to the broader evidence trail, including cellphone records, surveillance footage and ultimately DNA evidence, while tracking his movements as he drove the Elantra across the country to Pennsylvania with his father in December 2022. The car did not by itself establish that Kohberger committed the murders, but it gave investigators a concrete suspect to scrutinize and became one of the critical links that helped move the investigation from an unknown vehicle circling King Road to Kohberger's arrest in Pennsylvania.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler and Carolyn Dunegan explore the progression of addiction—from recreational use to problematic use, dependence, and addiction. Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

What if the hardest thing you have ever been through is not something that happened to you - but something that was always going to make you? Sara Schulting Kranz was blindsided by divorce, betrayal, single motherhood, and the complete collapse of the life she had built. She was 40, across the country from her family, with no career, no clear path, and three boys watching her figure it out. She did not go around it. She developed a five-stage framework for walking through it - and has since used it with Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and a blind female para-athlete she guided rim to rim in 24 hours. This episode is about what it actually takes to get through the thing that looks like it is going to break you.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you are standing at the edge of a change you did not choose - a divorce, a career collapse, a loss, a life that no longer fits - Sara Schulting Kranz has walked the canyon you are looking into. She is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, certified executive coach, and elite adventurer who has spent 32 years building and living her five-stage framework for navigating change. Her book is called Walk Through This. Her tagline is 'The way out is forward.' And in this episode, she brings the full weight of her own story and her decades of work guiding others to help you understand exactly where you are in the change process - and what to do next.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Labor Day Weekend That Changed Everything. Sara was beyond rock bottom. She had moments of wanting to end her life. Her friends took her to Sequoia National Park, a friend put rocks in her pack, and she climbed to an outcropping of rock, looked out at the valley below, and felt completely disconnected from the problems she had been carrying for a year. That was the moment everything shifted - from 'I am a victim' to 'I am going to thrive on the other side of this.'What We Fear Is Our Greatest Success. Stage one of Sara's framework is approaching the change - and the biggest resistance most people feel is not actually to the difficulty ahead. It is to the success that might be waiting for them. Sara breaks down why that is, what it looks like, and why courage is the only thing that develops confidence.Blame as a Form of Control. In stage two - descending into the change - blame shows up almost every time. Sara explains why: when everything feels out of control, blame gives people the illusion of getting some control back. The move out of blame and into ownership is where the real transformation begins.The Three Types of People Going Through Change. The wait and seer. The resistor. And the let's goer. Sara shares why high-achieving women are constantly assumed to be let's goers - and why that assumption is one of the most costly ones made about us. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself is not optional. It is the only real leadership move.Every Time She Does the Hard, It Gives Her Permission to Do the Other Hard. Sara sold her house and 98% of her possessions in 2017. She went from 4,200 square feet to 800. She has spent at least seven nights alone in the wilderness every year since. She hiked the John Muir Trail for 22 days in 2020. Not because she had to - but because choosing the hard thing on purpose builds the resilience to face the hard things that choose you.With My Last Breath. Sara's mother was her best friend. She died in 2022. They used to talk about regret. When Sara thinks about what matters, it always comes back to one thing: when I take my last breath, I want to know I lived it my way. This is the question she leaves every listener with.RESOURCES & LINKSBook: Walk Through This - Sara Schulting Kranz: https://saraschultingkranz.com/Sara Schulting Kranz Website: https://saraschultingkranz.com/Email Sara: Sara@SaraSchultingKranz.comLinkedIn: Sara Schulting Kranz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-schulting-kranz/ ERICA'S RESOURCES & LINKSStart small with me inside HER Jumpstart:https://her-collective.mn.co/plans/1985289?bundle_token=60b2c61d62213cdbd16d437cdc0e4204&utm_source=manual

Welcome to Awakening Aphrodite — the podcast that helps you reconnect with your feminine energy, reclaim your vitality, and live in harmony with your body, mind, and spirit. In each episode, holistic health expert Amy Fournier shares inspiring conversations with expert guests, blending ancient wisdom and modern science to offer practical tools that help you thrive in today's fast-paced world.Featured Guest: Steve BodanskySteve Bodansky is a doctor of sensuality with nearly 50 years of hands-on experience teaching, coaching, and demonstrating the art of extended massive orgasm. Co-author of several books on pleasure and sensuality, Steve has dedicated his life to helping people release guilt and shame, embrace pleasure as a birthright, and unlock the natural magnetism and sex appeal that comes alive when they do.In this episode, Amy and Steve pull back the curtain on the subject so many of us were raised to whisper about: pleasure. They explore why the female body is the only one designed with an organ whose sole purpose is pleasure, and what that reveals about how women are meant to live. Steve shares what dims a woman's natural magnetism over the years and the surprisingly simple practices that bring it back, why sensuality and spirituality are two expressions of the same life force, and the art of the "taking touch," where touching for your own enjoyment transforms intimacy for both partners. Together they make the case that prioritizing your pleasure is not selfish or indulgent. It is a form of self-respect that feeds your energy, your relationships, and your radiance at every age.Shop all of Amy's curated favorite products (with discounts!):https://amyfournier.com/recommended-products/If you enjoyed this episode be sure to check out:50: A Life of Sex & Extended Massive Orgasms with Steve Bodansky137: The Erotic Polarities: Feminine Radiance, Masculine Intention and the Evolution of Human Sexuality with Dr. Keith Witt140: Life Beyond The Senses: Sex Magick, Mystery Schools, the Occult & Secret Societies with Allen GreenfieldStay Connected & Support the ShowIf this episode inspired or helped you, it would mean the world to us if you would leave a 5-star rating and review — it really helps us and thank you!Join Amy's Email List for holistic health tips, updates & exclusive content:https://amyfournier.com/contact/Be the first to hear when Amy's upcoming online course & community, Goddess Rising: Thriving In The 4 Stages of Womanhood is open for applications:https://amyfournier.com/contact/Connect With AmyWebsite: https://amyfournier.comYouTube: Awakening Aphrodite Podcast / FitAmyTVInstagram: @fitamytvFacebook: Amy FournierEmail: amy@amyfournier.comGuest Resources (Books, Links)Steve Bodansky's Website: extendedmassiveorgasm.comFacebook: facebook.com/stevebodanskyInstagram: instagram.com/stevebodanskyEmail: stevebodansky@gmail.com

"I really do believe that the arts are critical to how we move forward together, and live performance in particular, I think, is a way of us practicing how to move across our ideological boundaries and find one another and imagine these new worlds together and create together."Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex. Before stepping into this role, she spent nineteen years at The Public Theater, shaping the city's cultural landscape through Joe's Pub and expansive community initiatives. Today, she is tearing down walls—both the literal barriers separating Lincoln Center from its neighbors, and the figurative ones that dictate who belongs in our cultural spaces. She views the arts not as a luxury, but as essential civic infrastructure. We are pleased to have Shanta Thake to discuss her journey, the power of radical curation, and the future of public performance.(00:00) Reimagining Lincoln Center(03:09) A Collective Caretaking(03:47) The Technology of Human Creation(04:20) The Curiosity of Childhood(09:25) San Juan Hill and The Wall(14:20) globalFEST: Music and Connection(16:06) The Gift of Pause(17:20) A Collective CaretakingEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

Today's guest, Caro Pirri, is the author of Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form in Early Modern England: Stages of Unsettlement (Oxford University Press, 2025). This book explores how early modern colonial travel writing informed the London theater's spatial and placemaking conventions. It suggests that what the stage found most compelling about narratives of colonial settlement was their failure to claim interpretive control over unfamiliar places and people. The book goes on to link colonial misreadings of places and people to theatrical strategies for staging disorientation, which Pirri characterizes as a condition of “unsettlement.” Each chapter focuses on a specific formal device that emerged from colonial misreadings: “uncommonplacing” in Richard Hakluyt's travel compendium; metonymic possession in Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine; “seasoning” in Ben Jonson's city comedies; “stagewreck” in Shakespeare's The Tempest; and “stagework” in the Lord Mayor's Shows. By approaching form as an interpretive process that is always engaged in the act of making and being made, Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form offers a model for reading past the seeming impasses of colonial narratives. It shows how narratives of failed settlement served as a productive resources for the formal worldmaking conventions of early modern theater. Jane Hwang Degenhardt is Professor English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the author of Globalizing Fortune on the Early Modern Stage (Oxford UP, 2022) and Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage (Edinburgh UP, 2012).

Foreclosure Isn't Just Financial—It's EmotionalWhen a homeowner starts falling behind on mortgage payments, the biggest obstacle to finding a solution isn't always money. Sometimes, it's the emotional process that comes with facing the possibility of losing a home.In this episode of the Kern County Real Estate Review, Laurie McCarty breaks down what she calls the Five Stages of Foreclosure Grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Drawing from more than 30 years of experience helping homeowners through financial hardship, Laurie explains how each stage can influence the decisions people make—or prevent them from making any decision at all.Why do homeowners ignore letters from their lender? When does hope turn into dangerous delay? How can anger, fear, or shame quietly cost someone valuable time and home equity? And why can accepting the reality of the situation actually be the moment a homeowner begins taking back control?Laurie also shares the practical steps homeowners can take when they're struggling with mortgage payments, including contacting their lender or loan servicer, understanding foreclosure deadlines and hardship options, determining how much equity they have, and talking with a trusted Realtor before their choices become limited.If you're facing financial hardship, worried about falling behind on your mortgage, or concerned about someone who may be at risk of foreclosure, this episode offers an important reminder: the sooner you understand your options, the more choices you may still have.

Today's guest, Caro Pirri, is the author of Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form in Early Modern England: Stages of Unsettlement (Oxford University Press, 2025). This book explores how early modern colonial travel writing informed the London theater's spatial and placemaking conventions. It suggests that what the stage found most compelling about narratives of colonial settlement was their failure to claim interpretive control over unfamiliar places and people. The book goes on to link colonial misreadings of places and people to theatrical strategies for staging disorientation, which Pirri characterizes as a condition of “unsettlement.” Each chapter focuses on a specific formal device that emerged from colonial misreadings: “uncommonplacing” in Richard Hakluyt's travel compendium; metonymic possession in Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine; “seasoning” in Ben Jonson's city comedies; “stagewreck” in Shakespeare's The Tempest; and “stagework” in the Lord Mayor's Shows. By approaching form as an interpretive process that is always engaged in the act of making and being made, Colonial Failure and Theatrical Form offers a model for reading past the seeming impasses of colonial narratives. It shows how narratives of failed settlement served as a productive resources for the formal worldmaking conventions of early modern theater.

Sometimes you truly need more information, more time, or more nervous system regulation before you can make a decision. But sometimes “I don't know what to do” means something deeper: you know more than you are ready to admit, you do not like your options, or you are waiting for a perfect solution that does not exist. In Part Two of this guided coaching series, Lora Cheadle walks you through the Stages of Change and helps you identify how ready you really are to move forward. You will explore the difference between needing more information and postponing action, why uncertainty feels unsafe, how fear of making the wrong choice keeps you frozen, and what it means to become the protagonist in your own life.   Top 3 Takeaways Not knowing and not liking your options are not the same thing. Sometimes you genuinely need more information, legal advice, financial clarity, time, or evidence of sustained change. Other times, you already know what is true but are not ready to face what that truth may require. Readiness can be supported, even when it cannot be forced. The Stages of Change—precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance—help you identify where you are without shame. Instead of asking what is wrong with you, ask what would help you become more ready. The perfect solution does not exist. Every meaningful choice contains uncertainty, consequences, gains, and losses. The goal is not to find the option with no downside. It is to make the most honest, self-honoring choice available and trust yourself to respond as new information emerges.   Favorite Quotes “Sometimes you're not stuck because you lack options. You're stuck because none of the available options are perfect.” “Maturity is not finding the option with no downside. It's deciding which truth, which consequence, and which responsibility you are willing to live with.”   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

In this episode we explore one of yoga's most essential lessons: patience. Drawing from Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras 3.6 and 1.12, we reflect on why everything in yoga unfolds in stages and why true progress comes through the twin practices of steady effort, abhyāsa, and non-attachment, vairāgya. Through personal stories, including my struggle with Pincha Mayūrāsana and unexpected ease in Mayūrāsana, we learn how forcing or rushing can lead to harm, while patience and surrender create the conditions for real growth. Yoga, is like tending a garden. Each posture is a seed, and with care, time, and trust, it will bloom in its own season. Tune in for a reflection on why transformation cannot be rushed, on the mat or in life, and how patience itself becomes one of yoga's greatest teachers.

What happens when the uniform comes off but the mission is far from over? In this episode of Mick Unplugged, Mick Hunt sits down with Marine Raider veteran, entrepreneur, author, and leadership strategist Nicholas Koumalatsos for a direct conversation about purpose, identity, leadership, confidence, fatherhood, and building businesses that create real impact. Nicholas shares how childhood scarcity shaped his “because,” why military leadership does not automatically translate to every part of civilian life, and what it took to rebuild his identity after service. He also explains the formula he lives by, commitment plus courage creates confidence and challenges the online leadership industry to show its receipts.

Social media has been a different story, and after my marketing assistant transitioned out of the company a year and a half ago, I was barely posting at all. So I joined Jessi Jean's Yap Challenge. Forty three days, forty of them posting. Eighteen reels and seventeen stories in June, some of which took me three and four hours to make for sixty seconds of video. In this episode, I am giving you the full report. What the challenge actually taught me, what it cost me in time, what happened to my numbers, and what I would tell you to do if you want the same result without paying for it.

In this episode of TLOP's Originator Coaching, host Dustin Owen is joined by Marketing Mike and producer Karina Mojica for an in-depth discussion on the five distinct career stages of a mortgage loan originator: Technician, Advisor, Rainmaker, Operator, and Legacy Builder. Dustin provides a comprehensive breakdown of each stage, illustrating how mortgage professionals progress from mastering the foundational technical skills required to originate loans, to developing the ability to offer expert advice and build lasting client relationships. As originators advance, they transition into the Rainmaker stage, where they focus on generating consistent business and expanding their network, before moving into the Operator phase, which emphasizes building efficient systems, managing processes, and leading high-performing teams. Ultimately, the journey culminates in the Legacy Builder stage, where experienced originators focus on mentoring others, giving back to the industry, and creating a lasting impact. Throughout the episode, Dustin, Mike, and Karina share personal anecdotes and actionable insights to help listeners identify which stage they are currently in and what steps they can take to move forward in their careers. The conversation also touches on the importance of continuous learning, adaptability, and the value of surrounding oneself with mentors and peers who can provide guidance and support. In addition to the main topic, the episode highlights several upcoming industry events, including a highly anticipated mortgage sales summit cruise to the Bahamas, offering loan officers unique opportunities for networking, professional development, and relaxation. The hosts also take the opportunity to promote TLOP's Originator Coaching program as a valuable resource for mortgage professionals at any stage of their career who are looking to accelerate their growth, overcome challenges, and achieve long-term success in the industry.

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon discusses Susan Forward and Donna Frazier's book Emotional Blackmail and explains how manipulation can be used to control your choices, relationships, and behaviour. Brandon breaks down fear, obligation, and guilt, also known as FOG, and how these feelings can leave someone feeling helpless, powerless, and afraid to resist. He also explores the six stages of emotional blackmail: demand, resistance, pressure, threats, compliance, and repetition. The episode also examines the four styles of emotional blackmailers: the Punisher, the Self-Punisher, the Sufferer, and the Tantalizer. Through examples of threats, guilt, conditional love, silent treatment, and future promises, Brandon explains how emotional blackmail slowly wears down boundaries and teaches victims that giving in is the safest way to restore peace. This episode is designed to help survivors recognize emotional blackmail, understand why these tactics are so effective, and begin making sense of the manipulation they may have experienced.
