How do you know if you're connecting with a spirit guide or a loved one?And what if signs aren't something you wait for—but something you actively participate in?In this episode of Open Channel, we're talking about the difference between spirit guides, loved ones, and angels, how signs and symbols actually work, and why self-doubt may be blocking the very messages you're asking to receive.I share a personal story about asking my grandmother for a specific sign, why creating your own symbolic language matters, and how to begin building a stronger relationship with spirit through intention, curiosity, and trust.We'll also end today's episode with a guided visualization to help you connect with a loved one or spirit guide and establish a sign of your own.Remember: intuition isn't something happening to you. It's a relationship you're learning how to have.Connect with Kate:Instagram: @kate.the.bravePatreon: patreon.com/Kate_TheBraveBook a Session: calendly.com/katethebrave

At some point, every serious collector learns the same lesson:You can wait for the perfect copy.Or you can own the card.This week, Pack and Brett discuss how scarcity changes collecting decisions.When a card only surfaces once every few years, grades start to matter less and ownership starts to matter more.The conversation spans: Rare cards versus perfect grades  The psychology of chasing low-pop football cards  Why some cards never stay available for long  Market observations from the Midwest Monster  Black Finite sales and football card demand  Andre Johnson versus Calvin Johnson  Tom Brady's market strength  Madden nostalgia and football culture The longer you collect, the more you realize that some opportunities don't come around twice.I would lean toward the first title. It has a story built into it and connects directly to the Frank Gore moment, which is the most memorable moment in the episode.Check out Card Ladder the official data partner of Stacking SlabsFollow The Football Card Podcast on Instagram for memes and stuff.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast PatreonSign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | TiktokFollow Pack: | Instagram ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Have you ever felt like your dreams are just out of reach, like you're doing all the right things but somehow still scattered, stretched thin, and unsure if it's working? What if the secret isn't doing more, but learning how to do what you already know? In this episode, Dr. Beth sits down with serial entrepreneur, media powerhouse, and dear mentor Deborrah “Deb” Drummond, a woman who has built seven businesses, mentored hundreds of women (and also  “cool dudes”) around the world, and lives by the belief that your body is your "most important real estate." Deb opens up about saying yes when life pushes you forward, the difference between a "journey" and "the stretch," and why most people are unintentionally "popcorning" their efforts instead of building with purpose. She explains that while our dreams and our Mission might be exciting and “sexy “, the tedious steps that it takes to get there are often not sexy, and not as dramatic as one might think. From a surprise pregnancy in her twenties that launched her first business, to building Mission Accepted Media and the celebrated 262 movement for women entrepreneurs, Deb shares the wisdom of a life lived intentionally  and the faith it takes to keep choosing your path. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "pick your hard" is the most freeing reframe for entrepreneurs and dreamers alike How to recognize when you're "popcorning" your efforts and how to build a real intentional plan instead The difference between what you do and who you do (and why people buy the second one) How small, consistent baby steps create exponential growth over time Why your body, your inputs, and your community matter as much as your strategy How to build a team  and a life rooted in shared values, not just shared skills About Our Guest: Deb Drummond is the founder and visionary behind Mission Accepted Media, the Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up Yes You women's summits, the Women's Channel, and the bestselling 262 book series spotlighting self-funding women entrepreneurs. A long-time coach, speaker, and media strategist, Deb helps women and the cool dudes in their corner become known not just for what they do, but for who they are.

Have you ever stopped yourself from posting content, launching something new, raising your prices, or sharing your expertise because of one thought? "Who am I to be teaching this?" Maybe you don't have the degree. The certification. The fancy title. I get it. Because I don't have a business degree either. What I do have is lived experience—building a business from the ground up, learning hard lessons, helping hundreds of entrepreneurs grow, and eventually selling a successful company. And here's what I've learned: There's more than one way to become an expert. In this week's Do It My Way podcast episode, I'm talking about imposter syndrome, why so many entrepreneurs struggle to own their expertise, and the 5 things you can do to stop questioning yourself and start showing up with confidence. If you've ever felt like you're "not qualified enough," this episode is for you. Remember: someone out there needs what you already know.

In this episode, I breaks down the “I” in the V.I.P. Method: Invitation. If reaching out makes you feel like you're chasing, begging, or being cringey, this episode will help you see it differently. I explain why better opportunities often come through relationships, why people forget about you when you're not top of mind, and why staying connected in a thoughtful, personal way is a key part of creating access to higher-fee projects. You'll also hear why the phone not ringing with the right opportunities does not mean you're not good enough, it may simply mean the right people don't know what to invite you into yet. I share how to make outreach feel curious, personal, and relevant instead of cookie-cutter, plus I give you one simple exercise to help you reconnect with someone this week.

In this powerful continuation of the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains why delaying repentance is one of the greatest spiritual mistakes a person can make. Many people convince themselves that they will focus on spiritual growth "later"—after accumulating wealth, after reaching retirement, or after achieving their personal goals. Yet the Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that human desire is never fully satisfied. The person who seeks one hundred wants two hundred; the person who acquires two hundred wants four hundred. If repentance is postponed until after worldly ambitions are fulfilled, that day may never arrive. True growth begins when a person decides to act now rather than waiting for perfect circumstances.A central theme of the episode is the brevity of life and the illusion that we have unlimited time. Rabbi Wolbe vividly illustrates how quickly life passes and reminds listeners that none of us knows how much time we have. The work of spiritual growth is extensive, while our days are limited. Teshuvah is not merely regret—it is a moment of profound clarity when a person suddenly realizes that Hashem has been present all along, seeing every action, hearing every word, and knowing every intention. Like students shocked to discover that the principal has been standing in the back of the classroom the entire time, we awaken during the High Holiday season to the reality of Divine awareness and accountability.The episode also introduces the practical process of repentance. Before meaningful change can occur, a person must honestly acknowledge their mistakes rather than minimizing or rationalizing them. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that repentance is not reserved only for dramatic sins. Everyday actions—speech, dishonesty, neglecting mitzvos, hurting another person's feelings, or violating rabbinic safeguards—also require reflection and correction. Genuine teshuvah begins with self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the courage to recognize where improvement is needed. Through this process, every person can reconnect with Hashem and begin anew._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 8, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 9, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

If you keep waiting to feel motivated before you work out, start the routine, send the email, clean the house, post the content, or follow through on the thing you said you wanted, this episode is for you. In this episode, Allie breaks down why motivation never lasts, why waiting to "feel like it" keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle, and why everything you want is on the other side of boring consistency. This is not about forcing yourself, ignoring your body, or pushing through burnout. It's about understanding the difference between real rest and avoidance, self-leadership and mood-led living, and why consistency cannot depend on a temporary feeling. You'll learn why motivation is fleeting, why your brain keeps returning to familiar patterns, why boring consistency builds self-trust, and how small, imperfect action creates identity evidence. If you struggle with staying consistent, following through, all-or-nothing thinking, procrastination, self-sabotage, or waiting until you feel ready, this episode will help you stop handing your future to your mood. And if you're ready to stop starting over and become the woman who actually follows through, come to Allie's free live class Tuesday at 11am PT: Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through alliecasazza.com/stopstartingover

In Episode 207 of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher makes a case that most ELL teachers need to hear: you already have more data about your students' language development than any standardized test will ever give you. The question is not whether the data exists — it absolutely does. The question is whether you are collecting it intentionally and using it to drive your instruction.Beth opens with one of the most common ways ELL teachers accidentally limit their own effectiveness: waiting. Waiting for ACCESS scores. Waiting for a language proficiency report. Waiting for a scope and sequence the school never provides. Waiting for official data to tell them what their students need. And the problem with that approach, she explains, is simple — those scores were collected in January or February, and by the time you receive them, your student has been acquiring language every single day. The score is a photograph of someone who has already grown. Waiting for ACCESS scores to plan instruction, she says, is like driving while only looking in the rearview mirror.The heart of the episode is a practical, domain-by-domain framework for intentional observation that teachers can start using immediately. Beth begins with listening — a domain she identifies as the most powerful predictor of success across all other domains and one that is often skipped because it feels harder to observe. She gives concrete signals to watch for: whether a student can follow multi-step directions without looking at a peer, whether they can respond accurately to comprehension questions, whether they laugh at jokes and understand social context, whether they can follow a lesson without visuals. She also introduces a practical tool that many teachers overlook — the three-sentence dictation — which simultaneously reveals listening comprehension, sound-letter connections from reading instruction, and writing development in one simple activity.Speaking observation is about more than whether a student talks. Beth walks through specific indicators: Are they using complete sentences or single words? Spontaneous language or only when asked? Can they explain their thinking or only describe what they see? Are they using academic vocabulary or only conversational language? Are they self-correcting or attempting complex structures? Each indicator maps directly to a specific instructional response.Reading observation, Beth emphasizes, must go beyond decoding. A student who can read fluently but cannot tell you what the text was about is not a proficient reader — they are a decoder. She has seen this frequently with multilingual learners and stresses the importance of observing comprehension separately from fluency, because the instruction needed is completely different.Writing gives teachers the most permanent record of language development. Beth guides teachers through what to look for: sentence completeness, punctuation, academic versus conversational vocabulary, paragraph organization, planning and graphic organizer use, sentence variety, and whether errors are consistent or random. Consistent errors — like missing articles — are actually good news. They show exactly what the student is working on acquiring and tell you precisely what to address next.The episode then addresses the practical reality of observing 30 students across four domains. Beth's solution is elegant: pick one domain per week. Focus your observation lens entirely on that domain for all your students, then shift the following week. Over four weeks you have current data across all four domains for every student — far more useful, specific, and actionable than any annual test score. She also gives practical note-taking suggestions: a folder for sticky notes, a notebook, a phone notes app, or a Google Form that organizes data automatically.The episode closes with the language domain rubrics — a free resource that transforms vague observation into a precise, repeatable system by giving teachers specific, research-backed indicators for what language development looks like at each proficiency level in each domain.FREE RESOURCE: DM the word RUBRICS to @EquippingELLs on Instagram for the free language domain rubrics — ready to use in your classroom right away.

If you're tired of chasing the algorithm, this episode is for you. One day reels are working. The next day everyone says carousels are back. Then someone tells you long-form captions are dead. Another person says you need to post three times a day. Before you know it, you're spending more time trying to keep up with social media than actually growing your business. And that's exhausting. In this episode, I'm sharing why podcasting may be one of the smartest visibility moves you can make in 2026 — not because it's trendy, but because it gives you something social media often doesn't: Depth. Connection. Authority. Trust. We talk about why relying solely on social media can keep coaches stuck in an endless cycle of content creation, how podcasting creates deeper relationships with potential clients, and why your voice may be one of your most powerful business assets. If you've been thinking about starting a podcast, or you're looking for a more sustainable way to grow your visibility, this conversation will help you see what's possible.   In This Episode, We Cover: • Why social media is a rented platform • The problem with chasing the algorithm • What a "trust recession" means for coaches • Why podcasting builds deeper trust than social media • How podcasts help establish authority in your niche • Why podcast listeners become warmer leads • How podcasting shortens the trust-building process • The four foundational podcast episodes every coach should create • How to repurpose podcast content into weeks of marketing • Why perfection is keeping many coaches from getting started   A Message I Want You to Hear You do not need to be the loudest coach online. You do not need to post ten times a day. You do not need to chase every trend. What you need is a clear message, a consistent voice, and a way to build trust with the people you are meant to serve. Because your future clients don't just need information. They need to trust the person behind the information.   Why Social Media Alone Isn't Enough Social media is a powerful discovery tool. But it's also a rented stage. You don't control who sees your content. You don't control platform updates. You don't control algorithm changes. And when your entire business depends on a platform you don't own, visibility can feel unpredictable and frustrating. That's why coaches need additional ways to build authority and connection.   We Are Living in a Trust Recession People are more skeptical than ever. They've purchased programs that overpromised and underdelivered. They've followed experts who weren't what they claimed to be. They've seen marketing messages everywhere. As a result, trust takes longer to build. And in 2026, the coaches who stand out won't necessarily be the ones posting the most. They'll be the ones building trust the deepest.   Why Podcasting Creates Deeper Connection A podcast allows people to hear: • Your voice • Your stories • Your perspective • Your energy • Your philosophy They aren't just consuming content. They're building a relationship with you. When someone listens to you for 15, 20, or 30 minutes, they gain a much deeper understanding of how you think and how you help people. That level of connection is difficult to create through a single social media post.   Why Podcasting Works So Well for Health Coaches Health coaching is personal. People aren't simply purchasing information. They're investing in support, guidance, accountability, and trust. Potential clients often ask themselves: • Do I trust this person? • Do I feel understood? • Does this approach make sense for me? • Can this coach actually help me? A podcast helps answer those questions before someone ever books a discovery call.   Building Authority Through Your Voice Many coaches teach similar topics: • Gut health • Hormones • Weight loss • Blood sugar balance • Stress management • Metabolism • Mindset What makes you different isn't necessarily what you teach. It's how you teach it. Your stories. Your frameworks. Your experiences. Your perspective. Podcasting gives you a platform to showcase those differences and become memorable.   The Long-Term Value of Podcast Content Social media content often disappears within hours. Podcast episodes continue working for you. Someone can discover an episode weeks, months, or years later. They can binge multiple episodes. They can spend hours learning from you. That creates a very different relationship than someone who scrolls past a post in seven seconds.   The Four Episodes Every New Podcast Needs You don't need to plan an entire year of content. Start with four foundational episodes: Episode 1: Your Story Why do you do this work? What led you here? Episode 2: The Biggest Problem Your Audience Faces What challenge is keeping your ideal client stuck? Episode 3: Your Method or Philosophy How is your approach different? What do you believe that others don't? Episode 4: A Practical Teaching Episode Give listeners a quick win they can implement immediately.   One Podcast Can Fuel Your Entire Content Strategy A single podcast episode can become: • A newsletter • Multiple social media posts • Reels • Carousels • Blog content • YouTube videos • Facebook posts • Client resources Instead of constantly wondering what to post, your podcast becomes your content engine.   Stop Waiting for Perfect Many coaches delay podcasting because they think they need: • Better equipment • A larger audience • More confidence • Better branding • More experience But clarity comes through action. You get better by recording. You become more confident by using your voice. And your podcast improves every time you hit record.   Final Thoughts Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you have. Not because it's perfect. But because it's yours. If you're tired of chasing the algorithm and looking for a more sustainable way to build visibility, authority, and trust, podcasting may be exactly what your business needs. Your future clients don't need another tip. They need to trust the person behind the tip. And a podcast gives you the opportunity to build that trust every single week.   Resources Are you a health coach in need of done-for-you content?

Why is it that we're taught to view life as though it exists in two neat chapters, before and after, constantly waiting for the moment things finally begin?But then it's that very same mindset that disconnects you from the only place life is actually happening - the present moment.In this episode, I break down why the waiting room isn't temporary, why arrival is an illusion, and how to free yourself from disempowering cycles that keep you trapped in becoming instead of being.WILDLY WORTHY WOMAN HYPNOSIS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠efiasulter.com/selfworth-hypnosis/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's stay connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠efiasulter.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠|⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Remember to review, subscribe, and share!**Enjoyed this episode?

We waited a long time for baptism day, and when it finally arrived, it didn't feel like a single moment. It felt like a whole season coming to a head: grief, healing, late-night doubts, and the decision to stop “faking fine” and start living our faith out loud. This recap is personal, funny in the way real life is funny, and honest about how heavy a joyful day can still feel. We talk through the people who showed up for us and the kind of church community that's built on effort, not convenience. Some friends drove an hour. Others rode the city bus, got dropped at the mall, and walked the rest of the way just to be there. We also share how the livestream let family and friends watch from afar, and why that mattered more than we expected. Then we go behind the scenes on the testimony video: the pressure of telling a big story in a small window, the “interrogation” feeling of being interviewed, and the moment we realized we needed to re-record so the truth felt right in our bodies. We connect it back to the bigger faith journey, including losing Ali's mom to addiction and suicide, leaning into God when strength was gone, and learning there is no Christian checklist you have to complete before you take a step. If this story hits home, listen, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find Share the Struggle Podcast.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast Experience, John sits down with Tammy Pack for a powerful conversation on real estate investing, creative financing, and why agents need to stop just watching opportunities pass them by. Tammy shares how she went from trial lawyer to boutique owner, vacation rental operator, brokerage owner, investor, and real estate leader in Fredericksburg, Texas. Her message is simple: Agents have access to opportunities most people never see. The problem? Most agents don't know how to structure the deal. This episode breaks down how creative financing, private lending, seller carrybacks, market knowledge, and confidence can help agents buy more real estate, help more clients, and build long-term wealth. Key Topics Covered Why Creative Financing Matters Tammy explains why the biggest thing stopping most buyers and agents from investing is not the price or the rate. It's the down payment. She breaks down how agents can use creative structures to solve that problem and open up more opportunities. The Agent Advantage in Investing John and Tammy discuss how agents have insider access to deals, market shifts, seller motivation, and opportunity. But access is only valuable when you know what to do with it. Buying Real Estate with Little to No Money Down Tammy shares real examples of how she bought investment properties using: Private lenders Seller carryback financing 80/20 structures 100% financing Strong relationships Proven market knowledge The Buckhorn Cabin Story Tammy walks through how she bought a Fredericksburg cabin, turned it into a high-performing vacation rental, refinanced it, pulled cash out, and later sold it for over $1 million. The lesson: Know your numbers. Know your market. Know when to hold and when to sell. Why Reputation Is Everything Tammy explains how years of doing what she said she would do created trust with her private lender. At some point, investors are not just betting on the property. They are betting on you. Risk Tolerance and Smart Investing Tammy makes a powerful distinction between reckless risk and smart, calculated risk. Her rule: Stay inside what you understand deeply. She focuses on properties in proven, blue-chip locations where demand is clear and long-term value is strong. How Agents Can Build Confidence Tammy and John unpack why agents must know their market better than anyone else. Confidence comes from: Studying the numbers Understanding demand Knowing rental income Learning deal structure Practicing the language Getting reps Selling Yourself as the Expert Tammy shares sales lessons from retail, real estate, and investing. Her message: Stop projecting insecurity. Clients often ask surface-level questions just to make conversation. Your job is to guide the conversation with confidence. Lessons from Sales Tammy shares powerful examples about how sales is really about creating confidence and experience. Whether it is quilts, boots, diamonds, or real estate—the principle is the same: Know your product. Answer with confidence. Move the client forward. Building Wealth in Big Chunks One of Tammy's biggest lessons from her mother: You don't build serious wealth by nickel-and-diming your way there. You build it through smart real estate moves, long-term ownership, and strategic exits. Resources & Mentions Tammy Pack's book: Stop Waiting to Die BiggerPockets Rich Dad Poor Dad Carlton Sheets: No Money Down Tax Smart Real Estate Investing Podcast Tammy Pack on Instagram: @tammypacktalks Tammy Pack on TikTok Final Takeaway Real estate agents are sitting on opportunity every single day. The question is whether you know how to recognize it, structure it, and act on it. Creative financing is not magic. It is skill. It is confidence. It is relationships. It is knowing your market so well that when the right deal shows up, you can move. As Tammy reminds us: "You've got to know when the deal is so good that you better go find a way to buy it."

Life keeps lifing. You know what you need to do for yourself, but somewhere between the to-do list and the people who need you, you keep landing at the bottom of your own priority list. In this episode, Dani gets real about the foundational practices she comes back to every time she starts to drift, and the mantra that rewired everything. She shares the magical moment in Paris where she thanked the past version of herself for the work that set her up to be on that solo trip, the line that has changed her mornings ("I'm unavailable to put Dani on the back burner"), and why she thinks motivation is, in her words, a crock of shit. In this episode, Dani talks about: - Why prioritizing yourself is the opposite of selfish (and how to spot the lie) - The 5 non-negotiable morning practices that keep her grounded - The alarm clock trick that gets you out of bed every time - Why burnout heals in the middle of life, not on a six-month sabbatical - Gentle somatic practices to wake up a fried nervous system - The Serenity Prayer as a daily reset button If you've been carrying everyone else and you keep landing last on your own list, this episode will hit like a deep breath and a hug and a kick in the ass all at once. When you're ready to stop putting yourself on the back burner for real, book a free discovery call and let's figure out your next right step together. Glad you're here, Dani Ready to Go to Your Next Level?

Most people think leadership starts when someone gives them authority.I don't think that's true.One of the ideas that kept coming up in my conversation with Keith Ferrazzi is that leadership is rarely granted before it's demonstrated. The people who create outsized impact inside organizations aren't waiting for the title, the promotion, or the perfect moment. They're already acting like leaders long before anyone officially calls them one.That matters more today than ever.The pace of change is accelerating. Industries are being reshaped by AI, supply chain volatility, shifting markets, and entirely new ways of working. In that environment, technical expertise alone isn't enough. The people who continue to grow are the ones who know how to learn faster, build stronger relationships, challenge ideas constructively, and bring others with them.Keith has spent decades studying high-performing teams and advising some of the world's largest organizations. What stood out to me most wasn't a complicated leadership framework. It was how much of great leadership comes down to simple, repeatable practices that most teams never adopt.The uncomfortable reality is that most teams are mediocre. They avoid conflict. They don't challenge each other when it matters. They don't hold each other accountable. They don't create the kind of trust that allows great work to happen.The good news is that you don't need permission to change that.This conversation explores what it means to lead without authority, how high-performing teams are built through practice rather than personality, and why taking responsibility for your own growth is still one of the highest leverage decisions you can make.If you're early in your leadership journey, this episode is a blueprint. If you've been leading for years, it's a reminder that the fundamentals still matter.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] Intro[04:28] Is the MBA Still Worth It in an AI-Driven World?[07:48] Why Relationships Drive Opportunity, Learning, and Execution[12:08] Why Most Teams Never Reach High Performance[15:09] The Stress Test Framework for Better Team Decisions[19:58] Building Teams That Care About Each Other's Energy[21:53] The Three Types of Trust Every Leader Must Understand[26:00] Why Most Leaders Are Still Mediocre[29:37] Building a Peer Group That Won't Let You FailKEY TAKEAWAYSLeadership begins before you receive a title or formal authorityThe fastest learners build relationships with people already doing what they aspire to doEverything meaningful in your career happens with and through other peopleHigh-performing teams are built through practice, not personalityMost teams avoid the difficult conversations that create trust and accountabilityTrust is not one thing; it includes personal, professional, and structural trustChanging behavior is often easier than changing mindsetSimple collaboration practices can dramatically improve team performanceThe bar for exceptional leadership is lower than most people realizeTaking responsibility for your own development is a competitive advantageLinks & ResourcesKeith FerrazziLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/keithferrazziWebsite: https://ferrazzigreenlight.com/Book: https://shop.givingtons.com/products/never-lead-aloneMatt GjertsenWebsite: https://www.bettereverydaystudios.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewgjertsen/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetterEveryDayStudios

What if getting dressed became less about managing perception…and more about self-expression and shaping our experience? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. DeSimone explores the surprising emotional depth behind something that initially seems lighthearted: overdressing for no reason, Disney ears on a cruise, bold earrings, sparkle, whimsy, and the idea that maybe “less is more” has quietly turned into a life philosophy that asks us all to become smaller versions of ourselves. Inspired by a series of Instagram and TikTok posts about “normalizing overdressing,” “living in gray,” and reclaiming joy, this episode dives into: Why “YOU are the occasion” is such a powerful reframe. The psychology of Enclothed Cognition and how clothing can influence mood, confidence, and emotional experience. The cultural pressure toward neutrality, practicality, and emotional minimization. Why so many women are socialized to tone themselves down and avoid being “too much.” How adulthood became associated with restraint, muted joy, & “emotionally beige” living. The connection between joy, self-expression, visibility, and the concept of Deferred Life. Why reclaiming whimsy may actually be an act of self-reclamation. From Disney ears and pirate night themes to the “closet graveyard” of aspirational purchases and unworn outfits, this episode reflects on what it means to stop postponing aliveness and start fully participating in your own life. Because maybe being “too much” was never actually the problem. Maybe too many of us were simply taught that joy should be quieter than it deserves to be. Key Takeaways: • Less is not always more • Whimsy is not immaturity • Joy is not frivolous • Self-expression is not a character flaw • You do not need a special occasion to fully show up inside your own life So wear the fancy dress. Use the good perfume. Drink the good wine. Wear the ears. Take the photo. Because life is short. And Less is BORE!

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest reasons launches never happen: overthinking. So many business owners convince themselves they need a bigger audience, a better sales page, more experience, or the “perfect” timing before they can launch. But more often than not, the problem isn't strategy—it's a lack of action. Waiting for everything to feel ready only delays the learning, momentum, and results that come from actually putting your offer out into the world. I share five practical ways to stop procrastinating and start moving forward. From setting a non-negotiable launch date and creating accountability by telling others your plans, to treating your launch as an experiment rather than a pass-or-fail event, these simple shifts can help you break through fear and indecision. I also explain why lowering your standards from perfect to done and focusing only on your next three actions can dramatically reduce overwhelm and help you make progress faster. Finally, I explore the hidden cost of waiting. Every day you delay, your data becomes less relevant, your confidence can fade, and opportunities pass by. Drawing on lessons I teach inside Bolder and Grow Launch Sell, I encourage you to stop waiting for the perfect moment, pick a date, take action, and use every launch as an opportunity to learn and improve. 3 Key Takeaways: Action Creates Clarity You don't need all the answers before you launch. Taking action gives you real feedback, data, and insights that help you make better decisions moving forward. Progress Beats Perfection Waiting until everything feels perfect keeps you stuck. A completed launch teaches you far more than a flawless plan that never gets implemented. Focus on the Next Step, Not the Entire Journey Overwhelm often comes from trying to solve everything at once. Concentrating on your next three actions makes launching feel more manageable and keeps momentum on your side.

Are you waiting for the right moment to start living your life? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, we look at what Stoic philosophy says about responsibility: not the kind the self-help world sells you, but the deeper, more demanding kind. The responsibility for your own soul.Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. Here, philosophy is not theory. It is a daily practice of honest choices, taken one moment at a time.Most of us are waiting for something. For the situation to improve, for permission, for the stars to align. But every moment spent waiting is a moment of handing over the wheel to someone else and hoping they are driving in your direction. The Stoics called this the loss of your prohairesis: your capacity to choose, to act, and to become who you are.Self-knowledge is where this starts. You cannot take responsibility for someone you do not know. That means sitting with the uncomfortable parts, the patterns, the past experiences, the beliefs you have never examined. Not to judge them, but to understand them. Because once you know where you are, you can begin moving toward where you want to go.The lights are already on green. This episode will remind you of that.Support the show

Stop Waiting to Be Discovered: How to Build a Real Speaking Pipeline For years, while I was building Charli Jane Speakers, my husband was on the road climbing cellular towers, gone for weeks at a time.

In this episode, I'm talking about the shift from waiting to building and the simple pipeline approach that has helped speakers go from invisible to consistently booked over 24 years.

watch it here: https://youtu.be/rKvl3llLaasIn Episode 261 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris challenges common internet advice that can keep people stuck, emphasizing personal responsibility, research, and action over blindly following trends. He breaks down several myths: “follow your passion and everything will work out” (passion starts you, systems and discipline sustain you), “you need to feel ready” (readiness comes after taking the first step), “do what makes you happy” (happiness is unstable compared to purpose, meaning, responsibility, and contribution), “you can have it all” (it takes time, trade-offs, and a personal definition of success), “more is better” (more often adds noise and complexity), “if it's hard it's not meant for you” (difficulty can signal growth), and “success should feel exciting” (success is often repetitive and invisible).

Send us Fan MailHave you been "about to start exercising" for longer than you'd like to admit? You're not lazy — you're human. And that's exactly the problem this episode solves.In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're ditching the motivation myth and replacing it with something that actually works: a simple, research-backed system that takes the decision-making out of exercise entirely. Because the hardest part of working out isn't doing it — it's deciding whether to do it.We're covering three practical strategies: how to track your movement so your brain stays in the game, how to pre-decide your "when and where" so you stop negotiating with yourself at the worst possible moment, and how to set up your environment so starting feels almost effortless.No gym membership required. No perfect schedule. Just a system your brain can actually follow.Don't miss Part 2 next week — that's where we talk about how to make your brain WANT to come back to exercise again and again. Quote of the week: "We are what we repeatedly do.

Because here's what I've found working with moms: motivation isn't supposed to come first. And if you've been waiting for it to show up before you take action, you've had it backwards. Today I'm breaking down why that is, what's actually going on underneath the pattern, and what to actually do about it. 

In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I sat down with therapist and life coach, Anna Marcolin, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to grow as an entrepreneur. We talk about the mindset required for business ownership, the courage required to put yourself out there before you feel fully ready, and why taking action matters so much more than endlessly consuming information and waiting for confidence to arrive first.This conversation is such a great reminder that confidence is built through action, repetition, failure, resilience, and continuing to show up even when it feels hard. There's so much value packed into this conversation for anyone who's building a business, navigating self-doubt, or trying to figure out how to keep moving forward without waiting to feel perfectly ready first.Links:Website: https://www.annamarcolin.com/Podcast: https://www.annamarcolin.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/askannamarcolin/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@askannamarcolinIf you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

Do You Know Him? Why Your Bible Isn't a Book of SuggestionsWhat does it actually mean to know God? In this session of Word Time, Coach Shelby breaks down a truth that hits right at our human pride: in our flesh and carnal minds, it is completely impossible to comprehend a holy God.So how do we bridge the gap? Through the Word.Looking closely at John 17:3 and John 14:21, Coach explains that knowing God is directly tied to knowing and obeying His Word. The Bible isn't a collection of helpful hints or 10 simple suggestions—it is a total commandment from Genesis to Revelation, given for our benefit. If you want to see a real manifestation of God in your life, it starts with making a daily, intentional choice to fall in love with Scripture. Stop waiting for a magical feeling or "Valentine hearts" to pop up over your head. Pick up the Book, make the choice to read it, and watch how God reveals Himself to you.Key Takeaways From the Classroom:The Carnal Roadblock: Why our human intellect can never reach God's level without faith.The Two-Year-Old Temper Tantrum: How our sin nature kicks and bucks against biblical correction.Commandments vs. Suggestions: Understanding that the entire Word—from Genesis to Revelation—is a command of love.The Holy Spirit's Homework: Why the Counselor can't remind you of the words of Jesus if you haven't read them first.Repentance Over Perfection: Why keeping His commandments doesn't mean sinless perfection, but rather a heart quick to repent when we miss the mark.What "Manifest" Really Means: Breaking down the secondary meanings of how God reveals, exhibits, and declares Himself to those who guard His Word.Scriptures Covered:John 17:3 – This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God.John 14:21 – He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.Romans 6 – Reckoning the sin nature dead and refusing to let it reign.Luke 11:13 – Asking the Father for the Holy Spirit to guide us.John 1:1 & 1:14 – The Word that was God, and the Word made flesh.#WordTime #CoachShelby #KnowGod #ReadYourBible #BiblicalObedience #FaithOverFlesh #ScriptureDaily #ChristianDiscipleshipChapters0:00 - Intro: Welcome to the Classroom0:10 - Reading John 17:3: Taking Eternal Life Personally0:35 - The Carnal Mind: Why Human Nature Cannot Comprehend God0:58 - The War Within: Handling Doubts and Rebellion by Faith1:19 - Analyzing John 14:21: The Requirement of Obedience1:43 - The Two-Year-Old Temper Tantrum: Recognizing Our Carnality2:22 - Reckoned Dead: Overcoming the Sin Nature Through the Cross2:46 - Hearing the Shepherd's Voice: You Can't Be Reminded of What You Haven't Read3:01 - Not Just 10 Things: The Entire Bible is a Commandment, Not a Suggestion3:24 - Proving Our Love: The Word Made Flesh in John Chapter 13:47 - The Role of the Counselor: Welcoming the Holy Spirit Daily4:18 - From Kindergarten to Medical School: A Lifetime of Spiritual Growth4:51 - The Reward of Love: What It Means for Christ to Manifest Himself5:28 - Defining "Manifest": To Shine, Appear, and Present Oneself to Sight5:55 - Addressing the Perfectionists: Why Loving the Word Leads to Repentance6:35 - Stop Waiting for Valentine Arrows: Make the Choice to Get in the Word

(Episode 341) She's been teaching mindfulness in Texas for years. After enrolling in a masters program in social emotional learning, and about three weeks in, she realized should have written the curriculum herself. Sitting in the uncomfortable in-between, after you know the end of an era is near but, you don't know what the next chapter is. Spirit had a hyper specific timeline and this session cracked something wide open. This one is for anyone who knows it's time but keeps finding ways to not quite admit it yet. Your future is not in that bottle, babe. It's in you.

You know that feeling where you're staring at what feels like a total dumpster fire, and you're just… frozen? It's not because you don't care or because you don't know anything. It's because you're waiting to feel certain before taking action. You're waiting to know you're doing the right thing. So, you gather one more resource, take one more course, do one more deep dive, and each bit shows you one more gap until certainty, starting the cycle all over again. Here's the problem, though. That certainty you're waiting for? It isn't coming. In this episode, Allie and Emily give you a different approach to help you do, even when you don't feel ready. We talk about three main considerations, safety, functionality, and sustainability, to help you make a reasoned, reversible first pass. The best plans require troubleshooting, not perfection. TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Paralysis is usually an imposter syndrome problem, not a knowledge problem — More education won't fix it. Getting started will.2️⃣ Safe → Functional → Sustainable — Three questions to find a starting point that's thoughtful, realistic, and adaptable.3️⃣ Complex animals don't need complex plans — The plan that gets done consistently beats the perfect plan that never starts.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

How many times have you said — once things settle down, I'll start. Once the uncertainty passes, I'll make the plan. Once I feel less anxious, I'll show up fully. In today's episode, Celeste addresses one of the most common ways anxiety keeps us stuck — the waiting room. The place where we put our lives on hold until conditions are perfect. Spoiler: the conditions are never going to be perfect. And your life is happening right now. If you've been living in the waiting room, this one is going to challenge you to walk out of it.

If you've spent years pouring yourself out for everyone around you — your children, your husband, your aging parent, your clients, your church — and you're exhausted, resentful, or just not feeling well, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we're talking honestly about what happens when self-neglect goes unchecked. Not from a self-help angle, but from a faith-centered, whole-person perspective that takes both your body and your calling seriously. This episode is for the Christian woman who is done spinning her wheels, done running on fumes, and ready to start seeing herself the way God sees her. --- Why Good Women Stop Taking Care of Themselves It often doesn't start with a dramatic decision. It starts with one more yes. One more skipped meal. One more night staying up too late to get everything done. Over time, those small compromises quietly add up — and so do the consequences. A friend who worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over a decade watched this happen to someone she loved. Her colleague, a deeply dependable and caring woman, worked around the clock, rarely stopped to eat, took on the work of multiple people, and slowly stopped doing the things that once brought her joy — like traveling through Europe. Year after year, the workload got heavier, the complaints got louder, and yet the boundaries never came. The hard truth? The problem wasn't only the unreasonable management or the impossible workload. The deeper issue was that she didn't yet value herself enough to say no. This pattern doesn't stay in the workplace. It shows up in our homes, our marriages, our friendships, and our churches. --- What the Church Sometimes Gets Wrong About Sacrifice If you've spent any meaningful time in church, there's a chance you've walked away with an unspoken message: that giving everything, constantly, is what godliness looks like. That more sacrifice always equals more faithfulness. But that's not the full picture Scripture paints. You were made in the image of God. The same God who cares deeply about the child you're raising, the parent you're caring for, and the friend you drop everything for — that same God cares about you. Holistic health isn't just about what you eat or how you sleep. It's about recognizing that your body, your emotions, and your energy are worth stewarding — because they belong to Him. --- Three Things That Happen When You Stop Taking Care of Yourself 1. Bitterness can take root. When you give and give without boundaries, and no one seems to notice or reciprocate, resentment builds. It's not always loud. Sometimes it's just a quiet, growing heaviness that colors how you see everyone around you. 2. You end up tolerating sin. This one is uncomfortable, but it needs to be said. When we stay quiet, keep the peace at all costs, and never address what's actually wrong, we're not being gracious — we're enabling. Sin that's never confronted rarely changes. The book And the Shofar Blew by Francine Rivers illustrates this heartbreakingly well: a pastor's hidden sin went unaddressed for generations because the women closest to him chose silence over truth. Tolerating what God calls wrong isn't humility. It's harm. 3. Your body starts to break down. This is where holistic health and faith genuinely intersect. Dr. Josh Axe observed in his clinical practice that many of his patients dealing with autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, and other persistent symptoms were young mothers — women who were deeply devoted to caring for others but had stopped caring for themselves. The body keeps score. Chronic stress, emotional depletion, and poor self-care are not just spiritual issues — they show up physically. --- Jesus Had Boundaries — And So Can You The most powerful person to ever walk the earth did not spend every moment helping people. Jesus stepped away from the crowds. He retreated to pray. He protected his time with the Father even when people needed him, even when they were looking for him. If Jesus modeled rest, solitude, and limits — you are not being selfish when you do the same. You're being faithful. --- Practical Next Steps Worth Considering - Read Boundaries or Boundaries in Marriage by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend — widely recommended for a reason - Consider speaking with a counselor or pastor if you're struggling to identify or hold limits in your relationships - Ask for help — and be specific. Tell your husband, your friend, or your church community exactly what you need - Remember Matthew 11:28-29: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." That's an invitation, not a suggestion --- Timestamped Highlights 0:00 — Opening truth: neglecting yourself isn't humility 0:30 — The story of Molly: what a decade of no boundaries actually looks like 3:52 — This isn't just a workplace problem — it shows up in our homes, marriages, and caregiving 4:19 — What the church sometimes gets wrong about sacrifice 5:17 — Three consequences of self-neglect: bitterness, tolerating sin, and getting sick 6:13 — And the Shofar Blew: what happens when we stay quiet about sin 8:08 — The physical toll: Dr. Josh Axe's observations on autoimmune issues and chronic fatigue in caregivers 9:08 — Practical resources: Boundaries books, counseling, and asking for specific help 9:37 — Jesus had boundaries too — and He's your model 10:36 — Closing encouragement and invitation --- Key Takeaways - Self-neglect is not a virtue. It has real spiritual, emotional, and physical consequences. - Bitterness, enabling sin, and chronic illness are three outcomes that often trace back to a pattern of giving without limits. - Jesus modeled boundaries consistently — stepping away, resting, and protecting time with the Father. - Asking for help and being specific about what you need is not weakness. It's wisdom. - Your body is worth paying attention to. Persistent fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, and emotional burnout are signals, not character flaws. --- Ready to Stop Waiting and Start Feeling Better? If this episode hit close to home — if you recognized yourself in Molly's story, or you've been running on empty for longer than you can remember — this is your sign to take the next step. A More Energy Strategy Session is designed for the woman who is done being overwhelmed and ready for a clear, focused path forward. You don't need another resource to sit on your nightstand. You need someone who understands both the clinical and the faith side of what's happening in your body — and can help you figure out what to do about it.

What do you do when life isn't where you hoped it would be — and you're just stuck in the waiting? Sean and Nicole Johnson get refreshingly real about how they keep moving forward through infertility without letting the hard seasons consume them. Their approach is simple but powerful: feel it, then redirect. Nicole talks about processing emotions and then consciously choosing to move on, while Sean shares a surprisingly beautiful insight from his service mission — that the Spanish word for "have fun," divertir, literally means "to divert." Sometimes joy isn't about ignoring the pain. It's about making a deliberate choice to stop rehashing what you can't fix right now and pour yourself into something — and someone — else instead. This is a quiet reminder that personal growth and daily happiness aren't about having a perfect life. They're about choosing connection, showing up for others, and refusing to let what's missing define what's possible.
