Podcasts about stop settling

In this episode, Alissa sits down with writer and speaker Case Kenny for a conversation about self-expression, confidence, and what it really means to stop shrinking yourself.They explore why embracing your “cringe,” intensity, and nonconforming traits is actually magnetic, and why the fear of being judged keeps so many Highly Sensitive People playing small.The conversation expands into relationships. How to know if someone amplifies you, why “low maintenance” is often code for self-abandonment, and why we should aim to “settle up,” not settle down.This episode is an invitation to raise your standards, trust your essence, and choose relationships that expand you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why accepting judgment is more empowering than avoiding itHow your “cringe” attracts aligned peopleWhat confidence really is (a willingness to be uncomfortable)How to use regret as a decision filterThe difference between settling down and settling upWhy healthy relationships amplify who you already areThe truth about being “high maintenance” vs. having high standardsConnect with Case Kenny:https://www.casekenny.com/https://www.instagram.com/case.kenny/Join us for Sensitive & Steady!

What if love wasn't something you “luck into,” but something you can consciously create — and even consciously complete? In this episode, love and relationship coach Heather Garbutt shares a fresh, transformative approach to modern relationships, including two powerful frameworks **Conscious Uncoupling** (ending relationships with dignity, respect, and emotional clarity) and **Calling in The One** (a step-by-step path to attracting and sustaining committed love). We explore the biggest misconceptions about breakups, why separation doesn't have to mean destruction, and how to move through the emotional realities of endings without losing yourself. Whether you're rebuilding after heartbreak, feeling stuck in your love life, or wanting to deepen connection in your current relationship (yes, including practical ways to make your wife feel more loved), this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful roadmap for choosing — and creating — the relationship of your life. Keywords: relationships, dating, marriage, conscious uncoupling, calling in the one, communication, self-awareness, limiting beliefs, healing, attachment, intimacy, committed love, breakup recovery

TAKE A SEAT AT THE TABLE, we need to unpack why you're no longer going to settle for "not that bad" when it comes to your food noise and binge eating!

#331: In this unfiltered solo episode, I break down why February is about claiming what's yours and what it really takes to get what you want. Not the aesthetic version. Not the “manifest and wait” version. The real version: with clarity, courage, discipline, and having that dog in you.From recognizing your unfair advantage, to building the capacity to hold bigger dreams, to shooting your shot even when you're scared, I walk you through how luck is actually built through bold decisions, uncomfortable growth, and choosing yourself even when it feels risky✨ In this episode:I share personal stories about how early conditioning and outside voices can plant desires in us that aren't actually oursWhy it's crucial to get honest about what you truly want (not what you've been told to want)I tell you the truth about “being humble” and why it makes you smallLeaning into your real gifts instead of copying others and why that alignment is keyWhy the people closest to you may struggle the most with your growthHow to protect your dreams without cutting everyone offHow to unlock your unfair advantage, shoot your shot and get louder about your desiresIf you've been feeling a pull toward something bigger but haven't given yourself full permission to be honest about what you want, this episode is your wake-up call.Keep in Touch with Les:Ready to apply what you hear?

In this episode of The End in Mind, I'm joined by LauraAura — keynote speaker, personal growth coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast. LauraAura shares what really happens when women outgrow the businesses and lives they once worked so hard to build, and why hesitation is often a sign that something more aligned is calling.We talk about why clarity doesn't come from overplanning, how perfectionism and fear keep women stuck, and what it actually takes to trust yourself enough to move forward. LauraAura opens up about selling her branding agency after 16 years, listening to her body's signals, and rebuilding a career rooted in purpose, freedom, and courage.This conversation is for anyone who feels restless, uninspired, or quietly called toward something bigger — but isn't sure how to take the next step without burning everything down.Connect with LauraAura:- Website: https://lauraaura.com/- Podcast: https://www.thegutsypodcast.com/*Loved this episode?*Share it with a friend who's ready to stop settling, leave a review, or DM me on Instagram (@meraki_media_management) to let me know what resonated most.

If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you'll have noticed I tend to focus on the big-picture stuff: organizational change, building design culture, getting stakeholder buy-in. This week I'm doing something different and getting into the weeds on generative imagery, a tool that's become part of my daily workflow. I'm genuinely curious whether you prefer the strategic content, the practical how-to pieces, or a mix of both. Hit reply and let me know.Generative imagery is quickly becoming an essential tool in the modern designer's toolkit. Whether you're a UI designer crafting interfaces, a UX designer building prototypes, or a marketer creating campaign visuals, the ability to generate exactly the image you need (rather than settling for whatever stock libraries happen to have) is genuinely useful.The Ethical DimensionThere's an ethical dimension here that makes me uncomfortable. Using generative imagery does, in theory, take work away from illustrators and photographers. I don't love that. But I also recognize that this is a pattern we've seen throughout history. Technology has consistently made certain professions more niche rather than making them disappear entirely. Blacksmiths still exist. Vinyl records still sell. And I suspect custom photography and illustration will follow the same path, becoming more specialized rather than vanishing completely.Besides, if we're being realistic, most of us weren't commissioning custom photography for every project anyway. We were pulling images from stock libraries, and I can't say I'll miss spending 45 minutes searching for a photo that almost works but has the person looking in the wrong direction.So with that acknowledged, let's get into the practical side of things.When to Avoid Generative ImageryBefore diving into how to use these tools well, it's worth noting when you shouldn't use them at all. Generative imagery has no place when you need to represent real people or real events. If you're showing your actual team, documenting a real conference, or depicting genuine customer stories, you need real photography. Anything else would be misleading, and your audience will likely spot it anyway.Why It Beats Stock LibrariesFor everything else, though, generative imagery offers some serious advantages over traditional stock. You can get exactly the pose you want, in exactly the style you need, matching your specific color palette. No more "this photo would be perfect if only the person was looking left instead of right" compromises.This matters more than you might think. Research suggests that users form initial impressions of a website in roughly 50 milliseconds. That's not enough time to read anything. Those snap judgments are based almost entirely on imagery, layout, color, and typography. The right image doesn't just look nice; it shapes how users feel about your entire site before they've processed a single word.Imagery also gives you a powerful tool for directing attention. A well-chosen image can guide users toward your key content or call to action in ways that feel natural rather than pushy.The right image composition can draw attention to critical calls to action.Copyright and Commercial UseBefore you start generating images for client work, you need to understand the legal landscape. And yes, it's a bit murky.The short version: most major AI image generators allow commercial use of the images you create, but the terms vary. Midjourney allows commercial use for paid subscribers. Adobe Firefly positions itself as "commercially safe" because it was trained on licensed content and Adobe Stock images. Google's Nano Banana Pro (accessible through Gemini) also permits commercial use.The murkier issue is around training data. Several ongoing lawsuits are challenging whether AI companies had the right to train their models on copyrighted images in the first place. These cases haven't been resolved yet, and depending on how they play out, the landscape could shift.For now, my practical advice is this: use reputable tools with clear commercial terms, avoid generating images that deliberately mimic a specific artist's recognizable style, and keep an eye on how the legal situation develops. For most standard commercial work (website imagery, marketing materials, UI mockups), you should be fine.Choosing the Right Tool: Style vs. InstructionsWhen selecting which AI model to use, you're essentially balancing two considerations: stylistic output and instructional accuracy.Stylistic OutputEvery model has its own aesthetic fingerprint. No matter how specific your prompts are, Midjourney images have a certain look, and Nano Banana images have a different one. You need to find a model whose default aesthetic works for your project.Instructional AccuracyThe other consideration is how well the model follows detailed instructions. If you need a specific composition (person on the left, looking right, holding a coffee cup, with a window behind them), some models handle that brilliantly while others will give you something that vaguely resembles your request but took creative liberties you didn't ask for.Use Multiple ModulesThe frustrating reality is that you rarely get both. The models with the most pleasing aesthetics tend to be worse at following precise instructions, and vice versa.This is why I often move between multiple models in a single workflow. I'll generate the initial image in Midjourney to get an aesthetic I like, then bring that image into Nano Banana Pro as a reference and use its stronger instruction-following capabilities to refine specific details. It's an extra step, but it gets you the best of both worlds.Tool RecommendationsThere are plenty of tools out there, but here are three I'd recommend depending on your needs and experience level.MidjourneyMidjourney produces what I consider the most aesthetically pleasing results, particularly for images of people and anything photographic. It's what I use on my own website. The downside is that Midjourney is terrible at following detailed instructions. Ask for something specific and you'll get something beautiful that bears only a passing resemblance to what you requested. It's also only available through its own website, so you can't access it through multi-model platforms.Nano Banana ProNano Banana Pro (Google's model, accessible through Gemini) is the opposite of Midjourney. It's remarkably good at following detailed prompts. You can specify gaze direction, facial expressions, items held, and positioning, and it will actually deliver something close to what you asked for. It can also produce transparent PNGs, which is genuinely useful for UI work where you need to overlay images on colored backgrounds. The aesthetic isn't quite as refined as Midjourney, but for many projects that trade-off is worth it.KreaKrea is where I'd recommend starting if you're new to all this. It gives you access to multiple models, letting you experiment and find which one works best for your particular needs. You can try different approaches without committing to a single tool's subscription. Unfortunately, Krea doesn't include Midjourney (since Midjourney doesn't make its model available to third parties), but it's still a great way to explore the landscape.Krea is great for beginners allowing you to experiment with different models to find which works best for you.Prompting StrategiesHow you write your prompts depends largely on which model you're using.For instruction-following models like Nano Banana Pro, you can be quite detailed. Describe the composition, the subject's position, their expression, what they're holding, the lighting, the background. The model will make a genuine attempt to deliver all of it. You won't get perfection every time, but you'll get something workable more often than not.For aesthetic-focused models like Midjourney, simpler prompts often work better. Focus on the overall mood, style, and subject matter rather than precise positioning. Fighting against the model's creative tendencies usually produces worse results than working with them.Reference Imagery for ConsistencyOne of the most useful techniques, particularly with models that struggle to follow detailed instructions, is using reference imagery.Most tools allow you to upload an "image prompt," which is an existing image that contains elements you want. The model will attempt to recreate those elements in whatever style you've specified, incorporating any changes you've requested. It's a way of showing the model what you want rather than trying to describe it in words.Even more valuable is the style reference feature. If you need to produce multiple images that all share a consistent visual identity (which you almost certainly do for any real project), create one image that nails the style you're after. Then use that image as a style reference for every subsequent generation. This keeps your visuals cohesive rather than having each image feel like it came from a different designer.I use a style reference image to keep my website illustrations consistent.Getting StartedIf you haven't experimented with generative imagery yet, now is a good time to start. Sign up for Krea, generate a few images for a project you're working on, and compare them to what you would have found in a stock library. You'll probably find that some results are worse, some are surprisingly good, and you'll start developing an intuition for what these tools can and can't do.That intuition is valuable. Generative imagery isn't going away, and the designers who learn to use it well will have a genuine advantage over those who don't. Not because AI replaces skill, but because it gives skilled designers another tool to work with.

If your relationship looks good on paper but feels empty, this episode explains why settling in love keeps happening and how it quietly trains you to accept less in relationships. Hilary gets direct about why smart, capable women keep choosing the wrong men and staying in relationships that technically work but emotionally fall flat. This is not a dating pool problem. It is a self-worth and scarcity mindset issue that shows up when fear of being alone feels safer than asking for more. If you have ever talked yourself into “good enough” while feeling lonely in a relationship, this conversation will land. This episode is a reality check with teeth. Hilary challenges you to stop dating for someone's potential instead of their reality, to stop excusing red flags, and stop waiting to be chosen. As 2026 approaches, the message is clear. Raise your standards, trust that what you want exists, and walk away from what does not align. The fastest way to stop settling in love is to stop accepting what you already know is not enough. Episode Highlights: How settling in relationships hides behind “good enough” Why smart women still choose the wrong men The fear that keeps you stuck in unfulfilling love Being chosen vs choosing on purpose Why dating potential never pays off Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Settling in Relationships Keeps You Unfulfilled 01: 05 What Settling Actually Looks Like 02:37 5 Reasons Why You Could Be Settling 10:03 How to Stop Settling and Get the Relationship You Want ✨ I'm Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love.

Let me tell you the most expensive hire you'll ever make—it's not the one with the highest salary. It's the wrong person you keep around too long. And if you think you can turn a C-player into an A-player with your already maxed-out schedule—you're living in a Disney movie, not running a business. Welcome, Pivoter! Today we're talking about A-players—why your small business can't afford not to hire them, how to attract them without corporate budgets, and why tolerating C-players is the fastest way to tank your team and your sanity. April shares a story about a client whose new hire made a $100,000 mistake—and the hard truth that followed: leadership is not optional. If you want to scale, grow, and protect your bottom line, you must learn how to identify, nurture, and protect your A-players.

Do you ever find yourself going through life on autopilot—settling for routines, habits, and outcomes that fall short of what you truly want? Without even realizing it, we often accept mediocrity in our health, relationships, work, or personal growth by telling ourselves it's “good enough” or “better than most.” ​ When we look back on our lives, the last thing anyone wants is to be overwhelmed with regret, wishing we had done things differently, that we hadn't settled for less, and instead lived in alignment with what mattered most. As a follow-up to last week's episode, today I'm sharing The Mediocrity Intervention: a five-step process to help you recognize where you're falling short of what matters most and how to rise above it. I'll walk you through the five (5) universal reasons we settle and give five simple steps to break free and realign with your highest potential. ​ Mediocrity isn't an insult—it's a reality check. And my hope is that this episode will inspire you to raise your standards and take the first step by committing to stopping the pursuit of mediocrity and making excellence your baseline to live an extraordinary life. KEY TAKEAWAYS What mediocrity really means (and why it's not an insult) The five universal reasons we settle for less than we want How comfort zone addiction and short-term gratification keep us stuck Why lack of clarity leads to “good enough” instead of extraordinary The five-step Mediocrity Intervention to rise above settling Why courage is the antidote to mediocrity Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/606 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

What if you are able to craft the exact vision of what you want for your life, despite any obstacles?  While most women over 50 are told to slow down and settle for "good enough," Allison Maslan built multiple eight-figure businesses, learned trapeze, and manifested two dream houses, all after turning 50. As the CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, she works with seven and eight-figure entrepreneurs who seem successful on paper but feel completely stuck. In this conversation, Allison reveals the daily 5-minute practice that she credits with transforming not just her business results, but her entire life. This isn't about positive thinking or vision boards—it's a systematic approach to what she calls "deliberate creation" that combines practical strategy with energetic alignment. You'll discover why she tells her accounting team they're "not allowed" to speak about cash flow problems, how she manifested a property in Mexico that was supposedly "not for sale," and the exact morning routine she uses to stay aligned with her biggest vision even when circumstances suggest otherwise. Whether you're building a business, wanting to transform your health, or simply ready to stop playing small in midlife, this conversation will shift how you think about what's possible for your future.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Allison Maslan:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/allisonmaslan  Website ➜ http://midlifeconversations.com/scale Thank you to our show sponsors!

ABOUT THIS EPISODERemember when you were little, you believed you could be anything. Astronauts, artists, CEO, even Barbie had the wardrobe and accessories to prove it. But somewhere along the way, the message shifted. Instead of “you can do anything,” it became “be realistic, don't want too much.” And just like that, so many women were conditioned to check their dreams at the door.In this empowering episode, we're ripping up that outdated script and writing a new one. I'm diving into how you can embrace your Main Character Energy, remix those classical roles like mom, wife, employee, and leader, and infuse them with the bold desires of your heart. We're talking authenticity, women empowerment, self-love, community, and what it really means to expand instead of shrink.You'll learn why failure isn't the opposite of success—it's the pathway to it, how to reconnect with your buried dreams (or dream a brand new one), and a secret method I usually only share with clients.If you've been feeling restless, unfulfilled, or like your desires are “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small and start believing in infinite possibilities for your life.KEY TAKEAWAYSIt's time to reconnect with what you really want.Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.You can have it all without shrinking yourself.Failure is a pathway to success, not the opposite.Dreams can evolve as you grow; it's okay to change them.The possibilities for your life are infinite.CHAPTERS00:00 Rediscovering Dreams and Ambitions08:25 The Power of Authenticity and Support18:02 Redefining Failure and Success26:46 Embracing Infinite Possibilities31:34 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPHere's the part that makes it simple and powerful—because you know I love giving you practical tools. The Self-Love 2-Step is your way to start moving toward your dreams without overwhelm.✨ Step 1: Name the Dream. Write down one dream you've been shrinking, shelving, or secretly sketching in your mind. Don't edit. Don't apologize. Just name it. If nothing comes to mind right away, give yourself grace. Dreams often show up through journaling, reflecting, or following what sparks joy. Remember—clarity comes through curiosity, not pressure.

 "They told you they were toxic... and you stayed. Why?"In this raw and necessary episode, host Latonya McDonald (spiritual-psychological coach & founder of Live & Be Great) dismantles the painful cycle of choosing partners who are bad for us—even when they wave their red flags proudly.If you've ever confused chaos for passion, prioritized potential over reality, or felt deep down that dysfunction was all you deserved, this is your intervention.✨ You'll Discover:✓ The 4 Psychological Reasons we ignore upfront warnings (hello, attachment wounds & love addiction)✓ How Your Inner Child mistakes toxicity for familiar love—and how to reparent them✓ Astrology & Human Design Insights: What your Venus, Mars, and chart placements reveal about your attraction patterns (it's not an excuse to stay!)✓ The 4-Step Framework to Break Free: From radical acceptance to reframing loneliness as power✓ How to Set Non-Negotiables that actually protect your peace (Latonya shares hers)

If you've ever wanted a breakthrough in love or life, this conversation is your invitation to explore the gap between where you are and where you want to be — and start creating the beliefs, boundaries, and connections that will close it.  In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with The Opposite of Settling author, creator, and mindfulness expert Case Kenny — best known for his viral red handwritten quotes on Instagram — to talk about how the language we use, the trust we extend, and the clarity we command can transform our relationships and our lives. We dive into why “settling down” might be the worst sales pitch for love, the hidden cost of breadcrumbing, and the power of high-maintenance love rooted in reciprocity. Case shares how he turns prompts into powerful self-realizations, why leading with energy instead of matching it gives you clarity faster, and how visualizing your future like it's already a memory can rewire your mindset. We also discuss making trust your default, using regret as a compass, and the simple but life-changing art of listening to yourself — then speaking to yourself with intention.  This episode is packed with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and heart-opening AHA's to help you stop settling and start living from your fullest, truest self.

Are you waiting for the perfect moment to finally start living the life you were created for? In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I'm diving into what I call the “someday when” trap—the mindset that keeps us settling, stuck, and spiritually stalled.I've lived it. I used to think someday when my kids were grown, someday when I had more time, someday when life slowed down… then I'd focus on my marriage, my health, my joy. But one quiet morning on my porch, I realized: someday isn't coming unless I choose to change something today.In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful steps to help you break free from the “good enough” rut:Identify where you're settling.Take one small action that moves you forward.Celebrate progress over perfection.You'll also hear a personal story of transformation in my marriage that proves it's never too late to stop waiting and start living. If you're tired of feeling stuck, if your heart is longing for purpose, connection, and joy—this conversation is for you.Don't wait for someday. Your life is happening now. Let's step into it—together.

In today's episode, I sit down with Laura Ann Lamando, founder and CEO of FanGirl Fashionista, to talk about the real gap in sports merchandise for women and why no one's addressed it until now. Laura shares how years of industry inertia and bulk-buying habits have kept women sidelined from gear that actually fits, feels good, and reflects their fandom. We get into the licensing hurdles, manufacturing timelines, and what it takes to break through in a space most fashion brands won't touch. We also unpack why women speaking up, buying less, and asking for what they actually want could be the key to a more inclusive and profitable future in sports.

Start Your Transformation Now  What would your life look like if you knew—without a doubt—that you were unstoppable? In part four of the Zero Limit Person series, Jim Fortin explores the final core identity in the series: “I Am Unstoppable Power.” Building on the previous episodes that unpacked “I Am Unlimited Source,” “I Am a Supreme Being,” and “I Am Infinite Abundance,” this powerful conclusion helps listeners strip away ego, doubt, and conditioning to reclaim their inherent, unlimited power.  Jim challenges the identity most people live from—one rooted in limitation, lack, and unworthiness—and replaces it with the truth of who we really are: reflections of infinite source. He dives into how our early social conditioning, false beliefs about worth, and ego attachments stop us from recognizing our true identity. Through examples, reflections, and practical insights, Jim reveals how unstoppable power isn't something to achieve; it's something to remember, feel, and live from.  If you're ready to stop working from desperation and start aligning with the truth of who you are, this episode is your call to return to your natural state—limitless, powerful, and free.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  The Real Reason You Feel “Stuck” (02:20) Jim breaks down how ego and early social conditioning bury our awareness of our true, unstoppable power.  Why “Wanting” Blocks Manifestation (09:30) Desire comes from lack. Jim explains why recognizing your power is the key to manifesting what you want.  How to Begin Living from Your True Power (14:50) It's not about achieving more—it's about remembering that the power already lives in you.  Stop Settling and Start Aligning (19:40) Jim poses the question: If you knew you were unstoppable, would you still settle for less in life?  Rewriting Your Identity Through Feeling (26:30) Learn how feeling the truth of your power—not just thinking it—is what rewires your internal state.  The Morning Practice That Changes Everything (31:50) Jim shares a 5-minute daily practice to anchor your awareness in your identity as unstoppable power.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You don't have to become unstoppable power—you already are. You are a reflection of source, of divine intelligence, of the same force that governs the universe. That means being unstoppable isn't extraordinary—it's natural. But it requires remembering. Strip away the layers of ego, doubt, and history that tell you otherwise. Sit with the truth: I am unstoppable power. Feel it. Live it. And let it guide every choice, every action, and every manifestation from this day forward.  Mentioned Resources Being A Zero Limit Person Being A Zero Limit Person, Part 2 Being A Zero Limit Person, Part 3 Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Are you quietly tolerating things that are draining your energy? In this episode, Lori and I dive into what it really means to unapologetically raise your standards — in your home, relationships, and your business. We talk about why resentment builds when you stay quiet, how setting clear expectations actually strengthens your team, and why you owe it to yourself and the people around you to say what you want. We also share the story behind Lori's $1,000 competition bikini, how it helped her land magazine covers, and how even the smallest standards reflect what you're willing to receive in life.   HIGHLIGHTS What happens when you settle for “good enough”. Why Lori bought a $1,000 bikini. What my old party crew said when I tried to grow. How to choose the environment that matches your dream. Chris' story of standing up for excellence at work. How small standards affect your whole life. The secret to attracting (and keeping) A-players. ONE standard you need to finally stand up for.   RESOURCES Looking for mentorship?
