Too often, conversations about health start and stop with weight loss. There's little room for anything else—like metabolic health, quality of life, or what it actually feels like to live in your body. That narrow focus leaves so many people feeling stuck, frustrated, or invisible—especially when they're doing all the “right” things, and nothing changes.And for those who've worked hard to unlearn diet culture—to separate health from weight—medication can bring up a whole new kind of conflict. It can feel like you're betraying your values just to feel better. But what if taking care of your health didn't mean shrinking your  body or giving up your beliefs? In this episode, psychotherapist Kacee Markarian shares her personal story of navigating fatty liver disease, GLP-1 medication, and life in a fat body—while staying rooted in fat liberation. Her journey reveals what it actually looks like to care for your health on your own terms, from dealing with food noise and medical gaslighting to finding body neutrality in a world obsessed with the wrong metrics.Referenceshttps://copperunionapparel.com/Audio Stamps01:09 - Psychotherapist Kacee Markarian shares her journey with fatty liver disease, GLP-1 medication, and the complex emotions of body change while staying committed to fat liberation.07:50 - Casey reflects on how body changes affected her place in the fat liberation community.09:35 - Kacee opens up about the complexity of navigating fat liberation while using GLP-1 medications for health, not weight loss.20:02 - Two sides of food freedom: Kacee and Dr. Rentea share completely different experiences with how GLP-1s changed their relationship to eating.24:13 - Challenging internalized shame, recognizing the power of medication, and redefining success through neutrality.32:25 - Kacee's advice for anyone caught between wanting health and refusing diet culture.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Are you becoming the version of you that your manifestations have been waiting for? When our manifestations start to show up, it's not always about having more- it's often about being more of who we really are. We reflect on the difference between visualizing an idealized version of ourselves versus actually embodying our most authentic self. This episode explores how alignment speeds up manifestation, why integration can feel overwhelming, and how imposter syndrome can sneak in even when everything seems to be going “right.” Recorded in Milan, we also share a life update, a peek inside men's fashion events, and how real connection is created when we bring our whole self to the table: mind, body, and soul. Key Takeaways: ✨ The difference between visualizing an ideal self vs. living from your authentic self ✨ Why alignment accelerates manifestation ✨ How to navigate the integration period after big desires come to life ✨ Feeling imposter syndrome when your reality changes fast ✨ Updates from Milan and creating connection in new environments ✨ How spiritual maturity supports manifestation and long-term alignment This episode is for you if you've been calling things in, feeling them start to land, and want to deepen the connection with yourself while you live out the vision.   Energy Healers, Facilitators, & Resources mentioned in this and/or past episodes:

Despite its popularity and promise, unfortunately, there are numerous misconceptions about the definition and practice of psychological safety. Inspired by Amy Edmondson's recent article in Harvard Business Review, I dive into the real meaning of psychological safety—it's about cultivating a space where open debates and the free exchange of ideas thrive, not an environment in which conflict or critical feedback is avoided. Discover how focusing on challenging concepts, not individuals, can foster innovation, engagement, and inclusivity within your team. I unpack why conflict and vigorous debate are not only natural but essential components of a psychologically safe environment.But who is responsible for this shared sense of safety? It's not just the leader's job. Drawing from my experiences as an executive coach, I emphasize the importance of bi-directional relationships within teams. Everyone plays a part in creating a safe space. Learn how implementing concrete behaviors and KPIs, while seeking external feedback, can help assess and improve psychological safety. Reflect on your own role and contributions to developing such an environment, not only in your professional sphere but in your personal life as well.What You'll Learn- Debunking common myths about psychological safety.- How to dynamically measure psychological safety within teams.- The impact of psychological safety on innovation and inclusivity.- The importance of shared responsibility in fostering psychological safety.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Misconceptions About Psychological Safety(20:13) – Psychological Safety is a Two-Way StreetKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Psychological Safety, Constructive Conflict, High-Performing Teams, Open Debates, Free Exchange of Ideas, Combatting Misconceptions, Amy Edmondson, Navigating Conflict, Radical Candor, Collective Excellence, CEO Success

We all face times of testing when doing what's right costs more than we imagined, and compromising the truth looks like the easy way out. But these aren't accidents; they're proving grounds.

It's easy to feel overlooked when others are celebrated. In Luke 15, we meet the older brother, a faithful and responsible son, who struggled with bitterness when his younger brother returned home to a joyful welcome. His story reminds us how important it is to stay focused on the place God has given each of us.Your place matters. Whether you're in the spotlight or quietly serving, the Father sees you. He values your obedience, your consistency, and your heart. But when we start to compare, it becomes harder to recognize His love. That's when resentment can take root and joy begins to fade.We're reminded to guard our hearts, celebrate grace, and hold on to the truth that our place with the Father is secure. He welcomes the broken and honors the faithful. No matter how others are treated, your place in His house is still yours. Keep showing up. Keep trusting. Keep your eyes on Him.Subscribe to Our Channel! New to LifeRock? Click here: liferockchurch.org/get-connectedTo support this ministry and help us reach people in our community.

Aries Spears is a legendary comedian and impressionist who has been commanding the stage since the age of 14. Known for his breakout work on MAD TV and his savage crowd work, Aries has become renowned for his edgy, unfiltered takes and ability to reinvent his set with every performance. With a career spanning over 36 years, Aries draws inspiration from greats like Eddie Murphy, prides himself on quick wit and improvisational skills, and never shies away from exposing the raw realities of the comedy world. In addition to standup, he hosts the popular podcast "Spears and Steinberg," where he continues to push boundaries and spotlight real, unvarnished perspectives on entertainment and life. Takeaways: Resilience is Essential: Aries details the mental and emotional challenges of comedy, emphasizing that the business can "beat your spirit up," but staying in the game means believing in yourself, even when support from loved ones is lacking. Mastering Your Craft Means Versatility: Aries likens standup to being an all-star quarterback—you must have the material (playbook), but true greatness comes from the ability to improvise crowd work, proving you can win no matter what the audience throws at you. Legacy Is in the Eyes of the Fans: Despite feeling he hasn’t fully “arrived,” Aries acknowledges that comedians often become benchmarks for new generations, and sometimes strangers (fans) provide more validation and appreciation than family or the industry. Sound Bites: “If you’re going to be a complete comedian, you need to have all the facets of your game on point... there were no weaknesses in Mike [Michael Jordan].” “Hollywood is like an uncle that molested you but put you through college.” (quoting Chris Rock) “I never cut my comedy cocaine. I’ve always kept it 100% Bolivia Yayo... there’s nothing better than having that laugh you feel like you’re not supposed to have.” Quote by Mick: “You are to [my kids] what a Pryor and a Redd Foxx were to me… Everybody can’t go to where you and I were from a database of history and comedy. So you are that benchmark to a lot of people, bro.” Connect & Discover Aries: Website: https://ariesspears.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariesspears/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ariesspears/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Z6Tbjk4AesZwwGggZC7qQ FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest in this episode is James Hipkin, a vivacious marketing strategist and digital agency leader who's spent decades helping businesses cut through the marketing noise with authentic, customer-centered strategies. James delights in challenging the status quo, advocating for marketing that genuinely adds value and using AI as a creative ally (not a replacement!) to keep the human touch alive. In his upbeat conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, James ditches “icky marketing” in favor of meaningful customer pathways and demonstrates how curiosity, clarity, and compassion drive long-term business success.Key points discussed include:* Transforming “Call to Action” into Customer Pathways: James encourages a mindset shift, inviting customers along value-filled journeys instead of simply shouting for attention.* Blending Human Creativity with AI for Better Results: He joyfully shares how AI can spark ideas, provide audience insights, and enhance marketing—while always keeping people at the heart.* Building Relationships for Sustainable Growth: James underscores that true marketing success is about lasting relationships, focusing on customer value beyond the first sale.This episode is packed with refreshing ideas and practical inspiration for marketers ready to innovate with empathy, measurement, and a dash of fun!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with James HipkinChampioning Value-Based Marketing Over "Icky" TacticsStep into the world of marketing that puts people first with James Hipkin, a marketing strategist and digital agency leader who joined me, Jürgen Strauss, on the InnovaBuzz podcast for a vibrant discussion. James has spent decades rallying against what he calls "icky marketing"—those manipulative, hard-sell tactics that leave everyone feeling a little grimy. Instead, he champions a marketing ethos rooted in creating real value for customers and businesses alike. His approach is all about forging genuine connections and focusing on knowledge-sharing, where education and trust replace the noise of pushy promotions.James's mission is to transform marketing, one business owner at a time. He believes great marketing brings value not only to the business but, most importantly, to the customer. By focusing on educating the ideal audience and nurturing relationships, James shows how we can move away from the transactional and toward the transformational.The Mindset Shift: From Calls to Action to Customer PathwaysA standout moment in our conversation was James' bold proposal: stop shouting "Call to Action" and start building "Pathways." The typical call to action often feels like a marketer barking orders, rather than an invitation. James encourages us to create "people like you pathways"—roads marked with relevant information, gentle invitations, and meaningful touchpoints.For example, James described how he used AI to brainstorm alternatives to the tired “related products” label in e-commerce. He then checked these options with his team and polled the client's audience, ensuring the final choice resonated. This approach transforms the customer experience from a pushy sales pitch to a helpful, human-guided journey.Prioritizing the Second Sale and True Customer RelationshipsJames reminds us that the most important sale is not the first—it's the second. He champions a philosophy where marketing is seen as the beginning of a relationship, not the end. Businesses that focus on ensuring customers return are the ones who thrive; after all, if you can create a repeat buyer, chances are they'll keep coming back for more.We shared stories about brands that either courted us for one quick transaction or truly invested in our long-term success. When we genuinely care about ongoing customer success, we're building trust, nurturing advocates, and creating fertile ground for innovation. The game isn't about the big win; it's about showing up, again and again, for your customers.Bringing Humanity Into AI-Driven MarketingWith the AI wave sweeping through marketing, James stands out with his level-headed, human-first approach. Rather than surrendering creativity or empathy to technology, he leverages AI as a brainstorming partner—a tool for generating ideas and stimulating discussion. For instance, he uses AI to analyze customer interviews and online forums, but always brings the final decision back to the team for a human touch.This collaborative approach sparks creativity and widens perspective. AI provides the stimulus, but people make the final call, ensuring that empathy and authenticity remain at the heart of every campaign.Grounding Innovation in Data and MeasurementJames brings with him the rigor of the direct marketing world—a place where every strategy lives or dies by data. He believes great marketing is a three-legged stool: strategy (who and why), planning (how and when), and, most critically, measurement. Without that third leg, businesses wobble, never quite sure what's working or why.He shares anecdotes of clients spread thin across social channels, uncertain which efforts yielded real results, until simple tracking and data analysis revealed the highest-impact activities. By focusing on meaningful data, not vanity metrics, James helps his clients double down on what truly works and prune the rest.Unlocking Customer Insights Through AI-Augmented InterviewsJames is passionate about democratizing the powerful customer research methods once reserved for big brands. His solution? Use guided customer interviews, audio transcriptions, and AI trained with deep marketing psychology to create rich, nuanced customer avatars and journey maps—without breaking the bank. This process gives even the smallest business a window into customer motivations, desires, and language, ensuring that every marketing message hits home.He's careful, too, to blend classic rigor with innovative shortcuts. Analyzing subreddit discussions or online forums through AI, using a well-crafted questionnaire, may not match a $50,000 research project—but it's miles ahead of guesswork. Objective, data-backed insights are now within reach for everyone.Staying True to Strategy in a Shiny Object WorldWith all the new tools and trends vying for our attention, it's easy to get distracted. James urges business owners to resist the lure of the next shiny object and instead double down on what's working. Start with a few core tactics, get really good at them, and then iterate for excellence. His advice is to measure, learn, and improve—rather than constantly chasing novelty.James also emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, welcoming their input, and sometimes just saying "no"—to clients, trends, or ideas that don't serve the strategy. The secret to longevity and sustainable growth isn't in doing more things, but in doing the right things really well.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are James's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative: Get out of your own head.* Best thing for new ideas: Shift your perspective from inside out to outside in by observing what's really happening with your customers.* Favourite resource: Rely on the people on your team for input, ideas, and collaboration.* Keep project/client on track: Be willing to say no to clients and provide honest feedback, building relationships based on trust.* Differentiate: Clearly define and communicate your unique selling proposition by focusing on what's truly unique and motivating about your business.ActionJames encourages you to stop trying to "boil the ocean."

What does it really take to build a thriving Airbnb or short-term rental business—without burning out or sacrificing what matters most? In this game-changing episode of The STR Sisterhood Podcast, I sit down with Carrie Drier, a Northern Michigan entrepreneur who has successfully scaled her short-term rental portfolio while staying true to her peace, her personal life, and her core values. Carrie pulls back the curtain on her real, unfiltered journey of growing a profitable Airbnb and vacation rental business with purpose and intention—proving that success doesn't have to come at the cost of your well-being. Inside this episode, we dive into: Carrie's early days as a real estate investor and Airbnb host How embracing uncertainty led to both purpose and profit The mindset shifts that helped her overcome fear and take bold action The systems and strategies she uses to scale her short-term rental business—without losing the personal touch that sets her apart The hard lessons she learned about managing expectations (especially her own!) If you've ever dreamed of growing your Airbnb or vacation rental business your way—aligned with your values and vision for life—this episode is your permission slip to make it happen. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS: [01:11] A short introduction about our guest Carrie Drier and what inspired her to dive into short term rentals [03:27] Carrie reflects on her initial thoughts when her husband suggested they move to Traverse City and become real estate investors [08:45] Carrie discusses how she taps into her gut feelings to stay true to herself, prioritizing balance, family, and personal happiness [12:04] Carrie shares how her journey of self-discovery taught her it's okay to pivot, embrace discomfort, and stay true to her desires, creating an authentic life despite others' perceptions of failure [18:35] What are Carrie's game-changing systems for scaling her portfolio while maintaining a personal touch [24:11] Carrie shares how creating distance from her work helped her to break free from the limiting belief around pricing [31:03] Carrie shares her experience navigating the challenges of building a team while balancing her naturally high expectations with her desire to avoid conflict [35:55] The emotional and logistical consequences of keeping a team member who isn't the right fit [41:00] The importance of paying yourself, creating separation between personal finances and the business [44:53] The lightning round Golden Nuggets: “This is your life, and you need to be living it the way that you want to live it.” “Try, I believe should be removed from everyone's vocabulary, because I feel like it is a dangerous word, because it gives us an excuse for not actually stepping into the person or the human we want to be.” “For me, it has been a learning curve on hiring people, and I think by letting go of the people that I know aren't going to work has been really helpful for me to find the people that do work.” “Whether you have one property, 100 properties, or anything in between, we are operating businesses. And when we make that mindset shift that we have to be the leader of a business, things tend to actually get executed very differently.” “Find the gratitude, find the joy. There's a silver lining in everything. Sometimes it's harder to see that silver lining, especially in the midst of the struggle, but it's often revealed to us only when we're looking for it.

How do you take something that's iconically local and make it feel authentic—everywhere? That's the challenge facing every regional brand trying to scale. When your name is practically synonymous with a place—like H&H is with New York City—growth isn't just about expansion. It's about staying true to what made you iconic in the first place. Today, I'm joined by Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H Bagels—a brand so New York it's practically a supporting character on Seinfeld and Sex and the City. Jay has been leading the charge to take this beloved local brand national, with over 70 franchises signed and new locations popping up from Boca Raton to Santa Monica. Leading the company since 2014, CEO Jay Rushin has re-imagined the H&H Bagels brand by growing the number of New York stores and launching the franchise model. Jay has deep familial ties to the H&H Bagels brand - his father-in-law acquired H&H Bagels in the late 1980s - and a passion for the brand's unique history and legacy. Rushin utilizes his skills gleaned from over twenty years in finance to lead his team in the growth of H&H Bagels.
