I've been told to charge less so more people say yes. I've been told to just serve and the money will come. And for a while, I listened. Until I helped a client generate $80K and only got paid $3K for it. That experience changed everything for me. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason business coaches struggle to charge $10K for their services and it's not what most people think. I'm sharing the story of how I let someone anchor me to a low price, the mindset shift that had to happen, and the 5 things I believe every coach needs to do to sign their first $10K client. If you're a business coach who knows your service delivers results, but your pricing doesn't reflect that yet, this one's for you.---- Want to build a podcast that attracts high-ticket clients and grows your coaching business?

One of the best aspects about Substack is discovering and connecting with other writers whose words you resonate deeply with. Christina Book is one of those people for me, and I'm excited to introduce her as this week's guest.I came across Christina's writing sometime last year, and I quickly noticed how similarly we think and write. I think a big reason for that is the fact that, as Millennials, we share many of the same life experiences — and have walked through many of the same bumps along the way in our faith journeys.We grew up with a vision of how life should look by a certain age. We were given a roadmap — and we trusted it. But for many of us, reality has turned out very differently. Now, we live with this pressure of feeling like we're behind — not having checked off milestones like marriage, buying a house, or starting a family by the age we once assumed we would. At the same time, many are carrying the weight of student loan debt from degrees that haven't delivered the return we were promised.Now in her early 30s, Christina offers a thoughtful and honest perspective on all of this. I especially appreciate her insights on dating and singleness — what it looks like to desire marriage and a family while also learning to live with contentment in the waiting. We also talk about the lasting impact of the Church's “purity culture” messaging from our teenage years, and how we're both still untangling some of that as we navigate dating and marriage.We also talk about the challenge of building friendships and meaningful relationships as adults — something that's often harder than we expect and rarely talked about enough. From there, we get into the realities of navigating career changes and the pressure that comes with trying to make the “right” decisions in a season of life that can feel anything but clear.If you're a young adult, this conversation is especially for you. But even if you're not, I hope it offers a window into the unique struggles many young adults are facing and helps you become a source of wisdom, empathy, and encouragement in their lives.You can connect with Christina and read her work on Substack, where she runs Storystead Co. I'd also love to connect with you there — check out The Road Ahead to stay up to date on future podcast episodes and essays.You can also find me on Instagram and Twitter @ColeClaybourn, and on Facebook under Cole Douglas Claybourn.Starting this week, you can watch this episode — and all future episodes — in full on YouTube.

Jesus walks across the stormy Sea of Galilee to reach His struggling disciples, revealing His divine authority and presence. Peter steps out of the boat in bold faith but begins to sink when he focuses on the wind and waves, crying out, “Lord, save me!” Jesus rescues him immediately, teaching that faith thrives when fixed on Him and falters when distracted by fear.

If you're a Christian woman struggling with body image, food, or feeling at peace in your body, this devotional will help you understand what's really happening.

Only songs are able to comfort the soul in its darkness—but can anyone hear them? Iman Humaydan's saga Songs for Darkness (Interlink, 2026) recalls the voices of four generations of women from one family in the imaginary village of Kasura, in Mount Lebanon. Its narrator, Asmahan, named after the beloved Syrian singer, has devoted her adult life to recovering the stories of her ancestors, who persisted in the shadows of male supremacy, war, military occupation, and impoverishment. Her mother, Layla, disappeared when Asmahan was still a teenager. Her grandmother, Yasmine, died giving birth. And her great-grandmother, Shahira, struggled through two world wars, famine, and suffocating gender norms to win an education for her children and eke out a better life for her family. Asmahan is determined to protect her daughter and break out of the cycle of intergenerational violence and wounds that the women who came before her suffered. She packs up her daughter to emigrate after a divorce, when her husband takes their son away from her on his seventh birthday, during the darkest days of the 1982 Israeli invasion. These women's legacies span and echo the scarred history of an abused homeland, from the eve of the first World War to the 1982 Lebanon War. In honoring their unfulfilled lives, Iman Humaydan insistently preserves intimate stories of abundant tenacity, generosity, sacrifice—and songs, provisions sorely needed for dark times. A conversation with translator Michelle Hartman Iman Humaydan Yunis is a Lebanese novelist, creative writing teacher, editor, and freelance journalist.

She is also the editor of the collection of short stories Beirut Noir. She is the president of the Lebanese chapter of PEN, and splits her time between Beirut and Paris.

Penn State faces unprecedented roster risks as the transfer portal officially closes—will a "shadow portal" upend college football? Zach Seyko and Brian Smith explore how players could leave after spring ball by circumventing NCAA rules, raising urgent questions for new head coach Matt Campbell and athletic departments nationwide. The discussion spotlights legal drama brewing behind the scenes, the impact of NIL deals, and how programs like Penn State might respond if starters suddenly walk away. Key insights include potential walk-on loopholes, the role of agents in player moves, and whether the NCAA's authority holds up against mounting legal challenges. Recruiting updates also heat up as Penn State targets Will Mencl, Peter Bourque, and Will Wood—could the Nittany Lions land the nation's top 2027 QB? Matt Campbell's strategy, roster scouting trends, and the looming threat of surprise transfers shape the outlook. Is college football entering a chaotic new era?

REGISTER TODAY: https://www.angelwellnesscenter.com/who-am-i-supposed-to-be-now TODAY'S EPISODE Beautiful soul, this live coaching session centers on financial fear, creative calling, and trusting your higher self. Mary Beth shares her self-limiting belief about using her retirement savings to fund three long-held dreams: writing a book, launching an invention, and stepping fully into spiritual healing. Julie guides her through refining the question in oneness, releasing ego urgency, and understanding that multiple dreams can coexist. You will learn how Spirit works in seasons, how to place visions into “time columns,” and why you do not have to choose just one path to move forward. This episode is a powerful reminder that fear of money often masks fear of time, overworking, and getting it wrong. Your higher self already knows the path. You only have to walk it one day at a time.

A wild morning in New York sports as the Jets execute a defensive shakeup and the Yankees face a bizarre health update. The guys react to the Jets trading Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat is Aaron Glenn building a brick wall or just treading water? Plus, we dive into the "Andy Dalton to the Jets" rumors: Is the 38-year-old veteran a viable bridge or a sign of desperation for Frank Reich's offense? On the diamond, Giancarlo Stanton's goal is a full season, but his inability to "open a bag of chips" has fans calling for Jason Dominguez. We take your calls on whether Kirk Cousins is the only real answer and why Hendon Hooker is suddenly the most talked-about name on the practice squad.

Send a textStigma keeps too many first responders silent, and silence can cost careers, health, and lives. We sit down with a former deputy sheriff and burnout expert AK Dozanti  to map clear, practical ways leaders and peers can replace fear with trust—without waiting for a crisis to force the issue. From the first honest check-in to a policy that actually protects time for care, we unpack what real support looks like on and off shift.We talk about the gap between leadership and the line, and how to close it with routine, human conversations—quarterly coffee, or even better, side-by-side cruiser rides that make it easier to open up. You'll hear why “the opposite of depression is expression,” how to speak up safely using unions and peer support, and why building a pre-crisis network is the strongest predictor of bouncing back after critical incidents. We also get candid about therapy: EAPs help, but cultural awareness matters. When clinicians understand shift work, critical incidents, and the code of the job, responders stop giving “safe” answers and start telling the truth.We spotlight two resources built for the field. Beat the Burnout reverse-engineers burnout with stepwise guidance and constant actions you can use even when your brain is crispy. Responder Reset delivers 99 “read-this-when” tactics for moments like wired-but-tired or post-incident spikes—grounding, bilateral stimulation, breathing, and proprioceptive tools explained in plain language with tactical trade-offs. Leaders will learn why embedded clinicians accelerate trust, how annual wellness visits normalize care before it's urgent, and how to frame mental health in practical, tactical terms that earn buy-in.If you value practical tools over platitudes, this conversation is for you. Listen, share it with your shift, and tell us: what one change would make your department safer to speak up?
