In today's episode of Beautiful Messy, we're talking about what happens after you give God the vision. How do we live, move, and set goals while we're still waiting on Him to work?We explore the difference between vision and goals, why waiting is an active part of faith, and how setting one intentional goal for each area of your life wheel can help you steward your season without striving. This episode is an invitation to execute faithfully, wait patiently, and trust God with the outcome—learning how to walk in obedience while the vision unfolds in His timing.If you're in a season of waiting, this conversation will remind you that you're not behind—you're becoming.Welcome to the WEBSITE see what we have in Quarter onehttps://www.heatherbaxter.com/after-eden-bible-studyPurchase a 2026 Warbinder Here:https://www.heatherbaxter.com/Join the HB MENTORSHIP SCHOOL HERE:https://www.heatherbaxter.com/event-details/crown-on-wings-out-heart-steady-quarter-one-2026HB MINISTRIES FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GROUP:https://www.facebook.com/groups/359253591516040

Stepping into your first leadership role can feel overwhelming, and navigating autism services as a parent can feel even harder, even when you're already in the field.In this episode, I sat down with Rayni McMahon for a powerful conversation about leadership, advocacy, and what happens when your professional world and personal life collide. We talked about what it really feels like to move from clinician to administrator, why so many professionals feel unprepared for leadership roles, and the one thing that can make that transition feel more manageable. Rayni shared practical, honest insights about mentorship, managing people, setting boundaries, and learning to lead with both confidence and compassion.We also spent time talking about advocacy from a deeply personal lens. Rayni opened up about her experience as a BCBA navigating the system as a parent of an autistic child and how being “in the know” did not make accessing services easier. Her perspective highlights just how complex and exhausting the system can be, even for professionals, and why empathy, persistence, and advocacy matter so much for families.This conversation is thoughtful, relatable, and full of takeaways for anyone who is stepping into leadership, supporting teams, or advocating for children and families within our field.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How to navigate the transition from clinician to leader without burning outWhy mentorship and leadership support are critical in growing organizationsThe realities of advocating for autism services, even as a professionalLessons on balancing leadership, boundaries, and empathyMentioned In This Episode:Virtue Healthcare ConsultingRayni Brindley McMahon on LinkedInEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

We are church that doesn't just raise up disciples, but also releases them into their Kingdom assignments and destinies- for some that's released to go and for others, it's released to stay. Stepping into God's mission is not just about what God does through us, it's about what God does in us.In this message, Pastor Chris explores this important part of GCC's vision statement and how important it is for us to be released into everything God has for us.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom." www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcity Sunday Gatherings at 4pm | 2201 P St NW, Washington DC

“This is not something I ever thought I would do.”So begins Kubir's story of moving from a spacious one-bedroom apartment in SF to Radish, a 13-person cohousing community in the East Bay.“As I was getting older, my friends were getting partnered off,” he shared, and talked about his dating experiences before living in community as, in part, a way of experiencing companionship.His is a unique perspective because he never thought he'd end up not only living in community, but dating while recently moving in, and having to answer questions to his new love partner about his motivations.Now his wife is more than just on board -- she's in partnership with him around collaborating with others to create another cohousing community.So what's it like dating in community, getting married in community, and then having a baby?

In this episode, we're going to talk about why that might actually be a good thing! The process of becoming a better version of yourself comes with it's ups and downs-- first, you become aware of the stories and limitations holding you back. Then, you start making new choices that confirm the new belief you're developing.  And then things seem to flip-- you start to experience the exact opposite of what you've been asking for. Challenges seem to be popping up left and right. You start seeing everything you are leaving behind reflected in the people, places, and situations in front of you.  Today, we're diving into why that happens, what to do, and how to trust that it's exactly where you're supposed to be!   As always, if you'd like help navigating this process, the 1:1 schedule is below!   1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Cupid's Undie Run Atlanta is a premier "party with a purpose" benefiting the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF). Participants run a one-mile(ish) course in their underwear to raise awareness and funding for Neurofibromatosis (NF)research. The "heart" of Cupid's Undie Run is solidarity. Those living with Neurofibromatosis (NF) cannot choose to remove their tumors; runners choose to strip down to their undies to bring visibility to this often "unseen" genetic disorder. Every dollar raised supports the Children's Tumor Foundation in funding clinical trials and developing treatments for the 1 in 2,500 people born with NF. The Atlanta (ATL) energy is widely considered the wildest in the country. This is due to a unique blend of Southern hospitality and a high-octane "party-with-a-purpose" culture. While other cities may jog, the Atlanta crowd transforms the one-mile run into a high-energy parade of creativity and community spirit. The 2026 fundraising goal for the Atlanta chapter is $60,000. * Direct Impact: Funds support CTF research that has already led to the first-ever FDA-approved drug for NF. * The Motto: "We run in the cold so they don't have to," symbolizing the physical discomfort runners brave to support those facing medical challenges. While the event is famous for red undies, creativity is encouraged. Popular outfits seen at the starting line include: * Custom tutus and capes. * Full-body dinosaur onesies and superhero themes. * DIY "Human Disco Balls" and elaborate team-coordinated costumes. The run is just the beginning. The legendary after-party features: * Open Bar: Available for "top undie-achievers" (those raising $250+). * Entertainment: Live DJs, dance-offs, and a judgment-free atmosphere. * Awards: Trophies for top individual fundraisers and teams. Lindsey's #1 Tip: Don't let the "undie" part intimidate you. The second you walk through the doors, you realize you aren't alone—you're part of a movement. "Your bravery for one afternoon helps a child be brave for a lifetime."

We're talking about what it looks like to actually care about the things of God again. Not just saying we do, but living in a way that shows it. It requires a hard and honest look at our lives, our habits, our relationships, and asking, “Is this pulling me closer to Jesus or further away?”We get into John 14 and 15 and the reminder that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Not “not much”… nothing. It's a wake-up call and an invitation at the same time. Staying connected to Him isn't just a nice Christian phrase. It's the only way to have a life that actually feels rooted, peaceful, and purposeful.We also talk about cleaning house in a practical way. Boundaries. Saying no. Stepping back from environments that make it harder to stay close to God. Being more protective of your inner circle and more passionate about time in the Word. Not in a legalistic way but in a life-giving way. And here's the shift I'm learning: if something falls away because you chose obedience, you didn't lose it. You made room for something better. Sometimes following Jesus feels like pruning, but it always leads to growth. If you've been feeling a pull to go deeper, simplify, and get serious about your faith again, this episode will feel like a conversation you didn't know you needed.Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help #sponsoredBook a call - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/hopemoquin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIKTOK - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@hopemoquin

Inspired by true events. Faced with terminal cancer, a beloved acting teacher rallies his favourite students one last time to stage his final play. What motivated you to make this film? It began with a group of close acting friends in London who wanted a project to work on together, purely for the joy of acting together again. The story itself is rooted in the loss of a dear acting teacher and mentor who passed away while we were rehearsing a play he had written for our troupe. At the time, none of us knew it would be his final work. When he died, what I felt most sharply was not only grief, but a creative rupture. He was someone who gave language to us as artists, and suddenly that voice was gone. I wrote The Last Rehearsal instinctively in response to that absence. It came from a simple question: who carries the work forward when a guiding voice disappears? The film became a meditation on unfinished work, mentorship, and artistic inheritance. It is inspired by true events, but it is not a literal retelling. A small number of my mentor's words to me appear as voiceover, used sparingly and with intention, not as explanation, but as presence. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take you to make this film? The script was written around seven years ago, at the very beginning of my writing journey. At the time, it was deeply personal, so I kept it private. About two years ago, a group of my acting friends and I were talking about wanting to collaborate again. One of the actors who went on to play the protagonist remembered the script clearly and strongly encouraged me to return to it. He championed it as the project we should make together, and that recognition became the catalyst for bringing The Last Rehearsal back to life. From there, the process moved very organically. We shot over five days, wrapping principal photography at the end of November 2023. We went into post-production in January 2024, and the film was completed in March 2025. From shoot to final delivery, the process took roughly a year and a half. How would you describe your film in two words? Unfinished inheritance. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Stepping fully into directing. I come from an acting background, and directing was not something I initially set out to do. It required trusting my instincts while holding the emotional and creative centre of the work. What made it possible was the generosity and trust and skills of the cast and a brilliantly supportive seasoned crew, who approached the material with care, intelligence and belief. —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

In this episode, we sit down with Stan, a Manitoba-based entrepreneur and three-time Enfold guest, to trace the arc of a profound multi-year transformation. What began as a curiosity sparked by a breathwork session turned into a journey that saved his marriage, healed deep-seated childhood wounds, and reconnected him with his Indigenous ancestry .Stan's story is a powerful testament to the fact that healing isn't a one-time event—it is a continuous unfolding. He opens up about the "emotional constipation" and hidden struggles with bulimia that plagued his early life, and how the "mask of success" kept him disconnected from his heart.We explore his three distinct experiences at Enfold:The First Intensive (2023): Facing the ego's fear of death, realizing the beauty of life, and choosing to go "all in" on his marriage with Sande .The Second Intensive (2024): A chaotic, necessary release of "youthful energy" and the shedding of old, toxic patterns .The Third Intensive (2025): Stepping into the 5-day format, finding deep vulnerability in community, and embracing his Metis heritage as "Wolf Who Looks Both Ways".This conversation is a beautiful example of the "Middle Path"—bridging the world of business with the world of spirit, and finding the courage to walk in both.— Enfold offers safe and sacred transformational experiences combining psychedelic medicines, breathwork, coaching, and somatic modalities, with a grounding in Buddhist philosophy. We come together as a community to support one another on the path of transformation with events, circles, and ongoing programs.Ready to embark on your own transformational journey?

Most machine shops grow by adding capabilities, chasing new markets, and saying "yes" as often as possible. Forest City Gear took the opposite path — and built a 123-person company by doing it. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I sit down with Kika Young, President of Forest City Gear, to unpack how extreme specialization became the company's competitive advantage. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, Forest City Gear made the intentional decision to focus almost exclusively on one thing: high-precision, loose gears. That focus reshaped everything — from who they sell to, to how they price work, to how they think about growth. Kika shares the personal and professional story behind that strategy, including the weight of leading a multi-generation family business, navigating serious health challenges within her family, and nearly selling the company before deciding to commit fully to its future. Along the way, she explains why walking away from entire industries was one of the best decisions they ever made. This conversation is a deep dive into focus as a growth strategy. It challenges the idea that more capability automatically means more opportunity, and instead makes the case that saying "no" — clearly and consistently — can be the most powerful move a shop owner makes. If you're wrestling with how to grow without losing control, margin, or identity, this episode offers a clear, real-world example of what disciplined specialization actually looks like.

The Year of the Bot Bundle is available for FREE until Feb.15!____________________________________________________________________________BIG NEWS: Entrepreneur School is officially stepping into the AI era!I know, I know. I'm a PR and branding person, not a tech bro. Stepping into this role has been a journey full of imposter syndrome and "what the hell am I doing?" moments. But after diving deep into AI, co-founding an AI platform, and seeing its power to give us back our time and humanity… I knew I couldn't ignore it. And neither can you.This episode is your official orientation to the new Entrepreneur School. I'm pulling back the curtain on why this change is happening now, what it means for you, and how we're going to navigate this new world together—without the hype, hustle, or losing ourselves in the process.If you're ready to build a business that feels like you in a world that's changing faster than we can keep up, you're in the right place.In this episode, we're unpacking:The new mission: How we're using AI to build more human-centered businesses, not less.What you can expect from the show moving forward (think real-time strategy, AI-forward guests, and behind-the-scenes looks at my own founder journey).My personal story of going from a communicator to co-founding a tech company (it's a wild ride).Why this isn't a pivot away from the show's core values, but a deeper commitment to them in a new context.The one belief that's guiding this entire next chapter: avoiding AI doesn't protect you, but being intentional about it does.>>Your Next Steps

Have you ever shopped for new pieces, added them to your closet, and still felt like your style just isn't where you want it to be? This episode is for the woman who knows the vision of her next level — whether that's a career, a travel lifestyle, a confident new chapter — but feels stuck in the same shopping loop and wardrobe routine. In today's conversation, I share the exact three-step process I use with myself and with clients to move past “almost fits” and step into a wardrobe that feels aligned, elevated, and intentional. We break down why hitting pause can be your most powerful move, how to notice the patterns that keep your closet feeling repetitive, and what it really takes to raise your style without buying more of the same. What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to identify the silhouettes you keep buying — and why breaking that loop unlocks your next level.Why adding one true statement piece can elevate your look more than shopping endlessly.The powerful clarity that comes from removing anything in your closet that makes you feel “less than.” Whether you're updating your travel outfits, refining your everyday wardrobe, or simply ready to feel more like you when you step out the door, this episode will shift how you think about style. 

In Week 4 of All I Do Is Win, Angie Addy teaches from Joshua 3, reminding us that winning in God's Kingdom often means stepping into the impossible before we see the miracle. Through Israel's crossing of the Jordan River, we're challenged to grow a faith that believes God can, responds in obedience, and refuses to give up—even while waiting. Be sure to reference the Sermon Reflection Guide linked below to go deeper and continue the conversation throughout the week.   All I Do Is Win Week 4 Stepping into the Impossible sermon reflection guide.

It's a real conversation about what happens when men quietly settle for less in their marriage, their health, or their life in general. Doug and Chris revisit the hard truth: when you stop taking action, you're not pausing, you're choosing. And that choice has consequences. They talk about the trap of tolerating a "not that bad" marriage, the fear that keeps men from speaking up, and how easy it is to lose yourself trying to keep the peace. Doug shares what he's seen happen when guys finally stop hiding, start leading, and take a real step forward. Chris opens up about how hard it was for him to speak his truth and what shifted when he finally did. You'll also hear why your wife may not be checked out from the relationship she may just be tired of waiting for you to show up. The good news? It's not too late to change that. But you've got to stop sitting on the fence. Ready to do something about it?

This solo episode of The Ern & Iso Show takes a serious turn.Stepping away from hip-hop, sports, and surface-level debates, Ern opens an important conversation about power, federal authority, and accountability, centered around ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and its growing presence inside U.S. cities.Using real-world incidents, including the January 2026 Minneapolis shooting involving a U.S. citizen during an ICE operation, Ern breaks down what ICE actually is, how it operates, and why many people don't fully understand the authority it holds.This is not propaganda and not a political endorsement. It's an informational, perspective-driven discussion about federal power, sanctuary cities, civil rights, dehumanization, and what happens when enforcement feels more like intimidation.“The Ice Cream Man Is Coming” is about asking uncomfortable questions:Who holds power?Who checks it?And who pays the price when it goes unchecked?00:00 – IntroductionSetting the tone and explaining why this episode steps away from hip-hop and sports.03:10 – What This Episode Is Really About: PowerWhy ICE and federal authority need to be understood, not ignored.06:40 – What ICE Is (and Isn't)Breaking down ICE, its creation after 9/11, and how it differs from Border Patrol.10:55 – ICE's Federal Authority ExplainedWhy cities can't simply “kick ICE out,” even in sanctuary cities.15:20 – The Minneapolis Incident (January 2026)Discussing the ICE operation that resulted in the death of a U.S. citizen and why it sparked nationwide protests.21:30 – When Enforcement Feels Like OccupationCommunity reactions, protests, and the word many residents used: “occupied.”27:10 – Sanctuary Cities vs Federal PowerWhy refusing cooperation isn't the same as stopping ICE.32:40 – Different Cities, Different RealitiesHow experiences with ICE vary depending on where you live.38:20 – Can You Support the Law and Still Question Tactics?Why believing in immigration law doesn't mean ignoring abuses of power.43:50 – Dehumanization and Public PerceptionHow language, fear, and stereotypes make mistreatment feel “justified.”50:10 – Black Perspective & AuthorityWhy historical experiences shape how communities respond to federal force.56:30 – Politics, Division, and the New American ConflictWhy left vs right framing misses the bigger issue.1:03:00 – Who's Next?The slippery slope question no one wants to ask out loud.1:09:20 – Final Thoughts: Accountability Over SilenceWhy trust is built with answers, not authority.1:12:40 – OutroClosing message and call for conversation.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

Lola Manekin, my wife, my oracle, and one of the most powerful healers I know, joins me to share her experience of a multi-day dark room retreat—a modern vision quest spent in complete darkness. In this conversation, we explore what happens when all distraction, identity, and productivity are stripped away, forcing a direct encounter with worth, fear, and the body's deeper wisdom. Lola reflects on choosing nourishment over endurance, softness over strength, and presence over performance, and how the real transformation unfolded not in instant revelation, but through surrender, integration, and learning to come home to herself.

Released on my 35th birthday, this episode is a cozy conversation between me and one of my closest friends about iboga integration. We discuss what life has been like in the nine months since I had a shocking Iboga experience.

Since then, I have been given the opportunity to transform my relationship with that shame. This is a cozy story time style episode where I reflect on everything I have been learning, integrating, releasing and opening up to, after iboga at etereo. I definitely haven't "figured it all out", and I am in still in process.

With Tim Krueger, Co-Founder and Partner at Krueger, Fosdyck, Brown, McCall & Associates – New Edge Advisors, LLC Overview For many advisors, the real question isn't how big the business becomes—but what happens next. This episode explores how Tim Krueger and his $1.4B Merrill team rethought succession, liquidity, and legacy to create long-term continuity.

About this episode… For many advisors, success is defined by growth: more clients, more assets, more revenue. But at some point, the question shifts from, “How big can we build this?” to “What happens next?” After nearly two decades at Merrill, Tim Krueger and his partners had built a $1.4B practice and one of the most successful teams in their market. By any traditional measure, the internal sunset path would have been the simplest option. But simplicity wasn't the goal. Protecting clients, creating opportunities for the next generation, and preserving the culture they had built mattered more. That led Tim and his partners to make a very different decision: to break away from the wirehouse, sell out of that environment entirely, and align with NewEdge Advisors in a way that solved for succession, liquidity, and long-term continuity—simultaneously. In this conversation with Louis Diamond, Tim shares how focusing on other people's needs – clients, teammates, and future leaders – became the ultimate growth strategy. Plus, they discuss: Lessons learned over nearly two decades at Merrill—and how structure, team building, and next gen cultivation become paramount. Stepping away from Merrill's CTP retire-in-place program—and what other business owners shared with him that inspired the decision to leave the wirehouse. Opting to align with NewEdge Advisors—and how liquidity and continuity were key factors. “Shrinking to grow”—and why it isn't just a portfolio philosophy, but a business one. Monetizing the business—and how the process can be a new beginning for the business, not an end for the business owners. Building a true runway for G2 and G3—and how it can create a rare win-win-win for founders, teams, and clients alike. It's a candid look at what life after a wirehouse can unlock—and how thinking differently about succession can redefine both legacy and fulfillment.

Stepping away from constant digital stimulation clarified thinking, heightened presence, and improved both mental vitality and performance—reinforcing the idea that intentional disconnection can be a powerful vitality practiceRemembering mortality sharpens how we liveReflecting on the inevitability of death is framed not as morbid, but as liberating. Awareness of limited time helps clarify priorities, deepen presence, and guide choices toward a life one can feel at peace with in the endEarly excellence is overrated; performance trajectories are non-linearA large 2025 study of ~34,000 elite performers shows that most world-class achievers were not early prodigies. Peak adult performance more often emerges from gradual development, not early dominance or hyper-specializationBroad, multidisciplinary exploration builds “learning capital”Diverse early and ongoing experiences cultivate flexible thinking, creativity, and pattern recognition. This “learning capital” enables later breakthroughs and reduces burnout, injury, and disengagement—supporting sustained excellence across science, sports, music, and careersIt is never too late to become a heroHistorical examples—from Francis Crick and Marie Curie to Darwin, Diana Nyad, Ben Franklin, and Nelson Mandela—demonstrate that transformative impact often occurs in midlife and beyond.

What I have learned over the course of my life is this:When you  push beneath the surface—beneath the pain, the losses, the disappointments, the anger—what you avoiddoesn't disappear. It amplifies. It shows up as exhaustion, numbness, overworking, or the quiet escape into distractions that keep you away from yourtrue authenticity and vulnerability.Life happens.Emotions like anger, grievance, and shame are signals most of us were never taught to listen to. They are uncomfortable. They ask something of us. And so we turn away. I know this terrain intimately.About twenty years ago, I found myself on the edge of burnout. I had poured myself into work as a way of not feeling—of not having to sit with grief, disappointment, and unresolved loss and pain. From the outside I wasfunctioning. Inside, I was emptying out.What saved me was not another strategy—but a pause.I felt a deep call to step into a quiet space of reflection,and that call led me to the Camino de Santiago. Walking day after day, with nothing to distract me from my inner life, I discovered something essential:The way forward is not around the pain, but through it.Walking through the darkness.Stepping into the fire.Staying present when everything is in denial and rebellion, wanting to turn away.If you find yourself in an in-between moment—startingthis year longing for deeper purpose, real connection, honesty with yourself, and the support of consistency and accountability—I invite you to join me.Reserve Your Spot Today.

As we dive into a new chapter today, we learn about how we are called to respond to God's Revelation. In particular, we discover that Mary and Abraham are models of faith who show us how to be obedient by submitting our intellect and will to God. Fr. Mike assures us that even though God doesn't usually give us the whole picture of our lives, he gives us just enough light to take the next step in faith.

Send us a textWhat does it look like for a man to step forward when the path ahead feels uncertain?In Joshua 3, Israel stands at the edge of the Jordan River—promised land in sight, but no bridge to get there. God calls the priests to step into the water first, trusting Him before the way is made clear. It's a powerful picture of biblical manhood: faith that moves, obedience that costs, and leadership that goes first.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we walk through Joshua 3 and challenge men to consider where God may be calling them to step out in faith at home, in their work, in their walk with Christ, and in their leadership of others. We'll talk about courage, obedience, and what it means to trust God when the waters haven't parted yet.Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Malou Malou is a mama of two from the Netherlands and the co-founder of Natural Heroes, which she runs together with her partner Nevil, the father of her two children. She is the head of R&D and a formulator, so her daily life is all about blending science, plant-based ingredients, and a very intuitive approach to wellbeing. That same blend of intuition and research shaped how she approached becoming a mother.She's had two vaginal births, but they couldn't have been more different. Her first birth was meant to be a natural, physiological experience at home, but it eventually became a medicated hospital birth. Looking back, that birth taught her a lot about her own good girl tendencies, about support, self-trust, and how things can unravel when the environment doesn't fully align with what you need. It was challenging and transformative in ways she only understood later.Her second birth, only 15 months later, was the complete opposite.. the most freeing, powerful, intuitive experience of her life. It unfolded in three hours and felt like a deep reclamation of everything that didn't go the way she hoped the first time. It was fast, intense, and profoundly healing. She moved through it with clarity and strength and it reshaped her entire relationship with birth and motherhood.That contrast, the rupture of the first birth and the liberation of the second, is what we talk about on the podcast today. Both births were rites of passages in their own way, and together they tell the story of how she's grown, healed, and stepped into motherhood.Curious about Malou?

In this second Q&A episode of 2026, I'm joined once again by Joe Bailey for a raw, honest, and deeply practical conversation with men inside our Dad Edge Alliance. We tackle two of the most common—and emotionally charged—challenges dads face: navigating marriage when divorce feels like it's on the table, and learning when to step in (or step back) as parents with our kids.   Joe brings wisdom forged through failure, humility, and redemption as he shares lessons learned from three divorces and what it actually takes to rebuild trust, emotional safety, and leadership in marriage. We also dig into parenting—specifically how often we default to "no," how helicopter parenting robs kids of growth, and how learning to pause can transform our connection with our children. If you're a dad who wants to lead with ownership instead of ego, and presence instead of control, this episode is for you.     Timeline Summary  [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the second Q&A of 2026 with Joe Bailey [1:37] Live Q&A format with Alliance members on the call [2:03] Anonymous question: marriage arguments escalating and divorce being discussed [2:52] Joe shares his experience with three divorces and hard-earned lessons [3:49] Taking full ownership as the leader of the relationship [4:18] Winning the argument vs. winning your wife's heart [5:02] Separating identity from failure in marriage [5:21] Why agreement gives things power over your life [5:40] Emotional safety, being seen, and being heard [6:04] How your inner world creates your outer world [6:55] Why asking "What are you willing to do?" matters more than "Can we fix this?"
