What would change if you stopped agreeing to take on everything at work? If you have perfectionist and overachiever tendencies like I do, it's possible this question has never even occurred to you. In the race to the top, it can feel like everything is urgent and our responsibility. But there's a better way. A new trend floating around social media recently caught my attention, and it's called “strategic detachment.” In this episode, I take a look at a more thoughtful approach to workload management and delegation, especially as it applies to team leaders. The professional landscape is transforming so rapidly in so many ways—this might just be the trend we need to survive 2026.Hop off the overachieving hamster wheel and onto your true career trajectory. Tune in to learn:The unintended consequences leaders create when they won't step back;What strategic detachment really means (and what it doesn't);Why you might need to examine your fear to avoid burning out.Related Links:Episode 403, How First-Time Managers Can Embrace Coaching - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode403Episode 368, What Quiet Quitting Can Help…or Hurt - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode368LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What happens when divine guidance moves through music, creativity, and the courage to trust your calling?Join Julie Ryan and Broadway star Pamela Bob as they explore spiritual channeling, divine timing, singing as sacred expression, and how play and creativity reveal why we incarnate. In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Pamela opens up about the sacred vulnerability of singing, why performing for an intimate room can feel more terrifying than a packed theater, and how music aligns with our unique energetic vibration. From the emotional force of shows like Ragtime to a childhood moment of divine recognition—“I think this is God”—this conversation dives deep into artistry as a spiritual calling.Listeners will be captivated by Pamela's jaw-dropping story of channeling June Carter Cash during a nightly, unscripted improvisation—an experience so powerful that Julie reveals June herself chose Pamela in the audition and guided her through every performance. Pamela also shares the brutal truth behind elite performing arts training, where she was repeatedly told she couldn't sing, yet trusted her inner knowing enough to persevere when others were cut. That same guidance later led her from a lucid dream to creating the award-winning Livin' On a Prairie, as the right people and opportunities appeared at exactly the right time.This episode is ultimately a love letter to play, joy, and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. Pamela reflects on the transformative power of creativity through stories like Encore, where adults rediscover themselves through performance, and offers a simple yet profound invitation for anyone feeling stuck: return to what you loved as a child. The conversation closes with a tear-filled reflection on why we incarnate at all—sparked by a dying woman's final words: “It was so much fun.”Guest Biography:Pamela Bob is a multifaceted actor, singer, and award-winning screenwriter whose career spans Broadway, Off-Broadway, film, television, and podcasting. On Broadway, she appeared in the Tony-nominated Hand to God and the Tony Award–winning A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, where she famously covered all six female roles and regularly stepped into leading performances. Off-Broadway, she starred as Clarice Starling in the cult hit Silence! The Musical—named one of Time Magazine's ten must-see NYC shows—and earned a BroadwayWorld nomination for Best Actor for her role in Cracked Open. Pamela is also the creator and star of the acclaimed series Livin' On a Prairie, an award-winning, festival-selected exploration of pop culture obsession inspired by Little House on the Prairie, which won Best TV Series and Best Actress at the LA International Film Fest. She currently co-hosts the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast, which has surpassed one million downloads and recently sold out its first live NYC event. Pamela is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati–Conservatory of Music.Episode Chapters:(0:02:00) - When Talent Becomes Sacred(0:05:00) - The Power of Music and Vibration(0:08:00) - Pamela Sings "My Favorite Things"(0:10:00) - Channeling Spirit on Stage(0:12:00) - The June Carter Cash Story(0:17:00) - Actor Who Sings vs. Musical Theater Actor(0:19:00) - Surviving the Cincinnati Conservatory(0:24:00) - Intuition in Landing Roles(0:28:00) - Stage vs. Camera Performance(0:32:00) - Creating "Living on a Prairie"(0:38:00) - Divine Guidance and Trusting the Process(0:40:00) - Advice for Those Feeling Stuck(0:42:00) - The Transformative Power of Play(0:45:00) - Rapid Fire Questions(0:50:00) - Angel Signs and Feathers(0:52:00) - Why We Incarnate➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

My guest today, Fatima Bhutto, knows more than most about loss and living with a traumatic family legacy. Now 43, Fatima is descended from one of Pakistan's most prominent political dynasties. When she was just 14, her father, the politician Murtaza Bhutto, was killed by his political opponents during the premiership of his sister, Benazir Bhutto. Her grandfather, the former President and Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was also killed by the state. I tell you this because, despite now being a prominent writer and speaker in her own right, Fatima is the first to admit how much this shaped her. She is the author of two novels including the Women's Prize long listed The Shadow of the Crescent Moon, and three works of non-fiction. The most recent is The Hour of The Wolf, an unflinching memoir about the decade Fatima spent in a coercive relationship in her thirties, and her beloved dog, Coco, the jack Russell terrier who became her lifeline. Fatima joined me to talk candidly about the single dad she adored, the impact of intergenerational trauma and her longing for motherhood. We also discussed why no-one is immune from coercion, learning to let go of shame, toxic self-esteem, how it feels to be older than her father and, wait for it, there is some joy!, being a dog lady! And yes, I promise, there is a happy ever after.  CW: I should warn you there is discussion of coercive control from the outset. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including The Hour of the Wolf by Fatima Bhutto as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when a world-changing technology attracts trillions of dollars in investment and how do you avoid being on the wrong side of the boom?On this episode of the Women's Money Wisdom podcast, Melissa Joy is joined by Kai Wu, founder and chief investment officer of Sparkline Capital, for a thoughtful, data-driven conversation about AI and its real investment implications.Rather than focusing on hype or fear, this discussion centers on capital allocation, specifically what happens when massive amounts of money pour into infrastructure. Using historical parallels like the railroads and the dot-com telecom buildout, Melissa and Kai explore why transformative technologies don't always translate into transformative returns for the companies building the underlying systems.You'll hear what “CapEx” actually means, why AI requires unprecedented spending on chips and data centers, and how today's market concentration around the largest tech companies creates both opportunity and risk. This episode is especially helpful if you've benefited from recent market gains but are wondering about concentration risk, diversification, or how to think more strategically about AI exposure in your portfolio.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why a transformative technology does not automatically mean a great investmentWhat capital expenditures (CapEx) are and why AI infrastructure is so expensiveHow past technology booms rewarded users more than infrastructure buildersWhy highly capital-intensive companies often underperform over timeHow S&P 500 concentration may create hidden portfolio riskWhat “AI early adopters” are and why they may offer overlooked opportunityHow to think about diversification without abandoning innovationWhether you're managing significant wealth or simply trying to make smarter long-term decisions, this episode offers practical insight to help you think clearly — without hype, panic, or binary thinking.Follow Kai and read his research: https://sparklinecapital.comX: https://x.com/ckaiwuLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ckaiwu/The previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

#780 What started as two kids mowing lawns to pay for college has grown into a 185+ location franchise across the U.S., Canada, and Australia! In this episode hosted by Brien Gearin, Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, shares how a near-death accident under a dump truck became the turning point that forced him to systematize his business and step out of day-to-day operations. He breaks down the path from operator to leader, the three stages of scaling from $0 to $1 million, and why pay-for-performance, open-book management, and profit-sharing are game-changers for employee motivation and retention. Mike also reveals how content creation and personal branding helped him grow both his franchise and software companies — and why every small business owner should consider becoming “the mayor” of their local market online. Whether you're mowing lawns or managing a team of technicians, this episode is full of practical wisdom and inspiration!

Surviving can look successful from the outside—yet feel exhausting on the inside. This episode explores the shift from pushing through to living well, even when life is demanding. If you feel stuck in reactivity, “Groundhog Day,” or constant busyness, Suzanne Rath shares practical ways to rebuild focus, momentum, and capacity. You'll learn why resilience isn't endless grit—it's resourcefulness, recovery, and intentional pauses that help you adapt, lead, and thrive long-term. About the Guest: Suzanne Rath is an endurance athlete, physiotherapist, and health coach based in Queensland, Australia (originally from Ireland). After a life-changing bike accident and traumatic brain injury, she developed the NDOS framework to support recovery, adaptability, and sustainable high performance. Episode Chapters: 00:06:10 – Survival vs thriving: the real shift 00:07:29 – Suzanne's accident and the long road back 00:09:23 – What resilience is (and isn't) 00:12:30 – Why survival mode accelerates time and fuels reactivity 00:15:07 – Signs you're stuck: focus, momentum, potential 00:17:57 – NDOS: vision, noise reduction, and recovery 00:23:18 – Support systems + adaptability as a modern superpower Key Takeaways: Treat purpose as a daily practice, not a feeling you “wait for.” Use micro-breaks to shift brain state (5 minutes counts). Create a “recovery menu” so breaks don't become more screen time. Reduce noise: close tabs, step away, and return to one priority. Build a support system with roles: cheerleader, accountability, wisdom. Strengthen adaptability by normalizing learning and mistakes at work.

We all have something that makes us feel safe. Something we run to when the pressure rises and the wind starts blowing. But what if the thing keeping you afloat is also the thing keeping you stuck?In this message, we look at Peter stepping out of the boat and discover the difference between the freedom we've learned to accept and the freedom Jesus actually gives. Survival isn't the same as surrender and safe isn't the same as free. If you've been managing your storm instead of trusting Jesus in it, this one is for you.

A sore arm, on-and-off fevers, and a three-year-old who couldn't climb like she used to—what looked like growing pains became a leukemia diagnosis that rerouted an entire family's life. Jesse Huiskin joins us to share Phinley's story with candor and courage: the frantic ICU days, a suspected brain infection that wasn't, a tiny arm bone broken by marrow pressure, and the long road of relearning how to walk, eat, and speak. Through each turn, she shows how small mercies and fierce love can coexist with fear, and how faith can hold when answers don't.We explore the practical side that most families don't see until they're in it: turning a sterile room into a child's space, building a blanket fort around IV lines, managing meals and laundry, and coordinating work and siblings while living at the hospital. Jesse wrote Surviving to Thriving to give parents a handbook she couldn't find—what to pack, what hospitals usually provide, how to advocate, and how to protect a child's joy. Her mantra is simple and powerful: say yes. Yes to help, yes to community, yes to the small requests that make a hospital room feel like home.We also confront a hard truth: only 8 percent of U.S. cancer research funding goes to pediatric cancers. Kids aren't miniature adults, and outdated protocols cost lives. Jesse explains how Rally Foundation bridges that gap—funding research with 93 cents of every dollar going to mission and offering direct family support across the Gulf Coast. With Phinley's Phighters we're working towards research grant in Phinley's memory and inviting our community to join events that turn grief into momentum.If you've faced loss, are starting a hospital journey, or want to help children get better treatments faster, this conversation offers both heart and a roadmap.

In this powerful episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast, Eric sits down with AJ—Director of Community Engagement at End Overdose, a nonprofit on the front lines of the fentanyl crisis—who is turning his past into purpose. AJ shares how he went from gang life, prison, and heavy drug use to four years of sobriety and a mission to save lives. Growing up in a violent, addiction-fueled environment in California, AJ followed a path that led to meth, opioids, incarceration, and a terrifying moment when he thought his life would end in a shootout with police. But a moment of clarity—and the voice of his 12-year-old son asking him to “work on your problem”—changed everything. Now, AJ is boots-on-the-ground equipping communities across the U.S. with the tools to prevent overdose deaths. Through End Overdose, he helps train everyday people to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose, administer naloxone (Narcan), and act with confidence in life-or-death situations. Because sometimes saving a life starts with being prepared. On This Episode: • From gang life and prison to purpose-driven recovery • Surviving addiction and an intentional overdose • The scariest moment that forced him to face reality • How his son became the reason he chose treatment • What naloxone (Narcan) is and how it saves lives • How YOU can get free overdose prevention training • Why everyone—not just addicts—should carry naloxone Connect with End Overdose:

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training When Melany Robinson lost 70% of her agency's revenue overnight during COVID, she didn't just "cut costs." She rebuilt her team around trust, ownership, and shared sacrifice and learned why keeping C players is one of the most expensive mistakes agency owners make. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, culture, and making hard decisions without losing your soul. Guest Overview Melany Robinson is the founder of SproutHouse, a 30-person integrated communications agency serving hospitality, real estate, and lifestyle brands. She's led her agency through rebrands, crises, and COVID, emerging stronger, leaner, and clearer on what real team culture actually means. What You'll Learn Why COVID exposed the hidden cracks in most agency team structures The real cost of keeping "C players" during uncertain times How to handle massive revenue loss without destroying trust The mindset shift from "managing people" to leading a team Why retreats, alignment, and shared experiences matter more than perks Key Takeaways You can't afford C players, especially during down cycles Shared sacrifice builds loyalty; secrecy destroys it Letting clients out of contracts can be a long-term growth play Culture isn't words on a wall. It's how people show up under pressure Great leaders give clarity, not control The best teams row in sync or the boat doesn't move Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. What Losing 70% of Revenue Taught One Agency Owner About Leadership Most agency owners agree that culture matters. But culture doesn't show up when revenue is up and clients are easy. It shows up when 70% of your revenue disappears overnight. That's exactly what happened to Melany Robinson, founder of Sprout House, when COVID hit. Hospitality clients vanished. Contracts evaporated. The "we'll figure it out" optimism most agency owners run on suddenly wasn't enough. And here's the part most people won't admit: This is where weak leadership gets exposed. The Myth: "If I Work Hard and Treat Clients Well, Growth Is Guaranteed" Before COVID, Melany believed what a lot of agency owners believe: Do great work. Act with integrity. Revenue will take care of itself. COVID blew that illusion up. Revenue is never guaranteed. Clients don't owe you loyalty. And culture doesn't magically hold when fear enters the room. So instead of hiding behind executive decisions, Melany did something most agency owners are terrified to do: She brought the team into the truth. Radical Transparency Beats Quiet Panic Sprout House told clients they could exit contracts. No penalties. Then Melany sat down with her team and laid out the reality: Revenue was down 70%. Something had to change. The choice wasn't who gets cut. It was how do we survive this together? The team chose shared compensation reductions over layoffs. Some people left. Others stayed. And that's when the real lesson emerged. The Hidden Cost of C Players C players aren't bad people. They just show up for themselves first. In good times, they're invisible and in hard times, they drain energy, margin, and morale. Melany realized something every scaling agency owner eventually learns the hard way: You can't afford C players during down cycles or up cycles. They don't row in sync. They protect their seat instead of the boat. On the contrary, A-players lean in. They sacrifice. They care about the whole. And those people are worth everything. Leadership Isn't Managing. It's Creating Clarity Melany doesn't pretend to be a great "manager." Great agency founders don't micromanage. They cast vision, set expectations, and get out of the way. Clarity isn't being bossy. It's saying: "This is what needs to be done. By this date. I trust you to figure out how." That's how you get leaders, not task-doers. Why Culture Is Built Outside the Office Sprout House invests heavily in retreats and real connection. They take the team horseback riding, snowmobiling, swimming in cenotes, and playing games by the pool. Not strategy decks. Not whiteboards. Why? Because trust isn't built in Zoom meetings. It's built when people see each other as humans instead of roles. And when things get hard, that trust is the difference between fragmentation and resilience. The Agency Owner Reality Check If you're honest, you've probably felt some version of this: You're stuck in fulfillment You're carrying people who aren't carrying their weight Revenue feels fragile You're not paying yourself what you should You know something has to change, but you're avoiding the decision This episode isn't about COVID. It's about leadership. And the uncomfortable truth that scaling requires subtraction before multiplication. The Question Is Simple Who's really in your boat? Because hope isn't a strategy. And C players are more expensive than you think. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

Hiroki Kato, Founder of Arches and Jeremy Au discuss how leaving a safe Japanese corporate career pushed Hiroki into Southeast Asia's faster markets, where exposure to fraud, cultural contrast, and insider truth reshaped his view of risk and opportunity. They explore how Vietnam's optimism expanded his ambition, why public data often hides reality, and how expert conversations became the foundation for building Arches. The discussion connects personal courage with business execution, showing how disciplined hiring, focused delivery, and human trust systems built a competitive expert network. 02:30 Leaving corporate Japan felt like social betrayal: Hiroki chose impact over security despite family pressure to stay inside an elite lifetime career track. 09:10 Vietnam rewired his ambition: A young, optimistic workforce expanded his belief in growth, risk, and personal upside compared to mature Japan. 12:45 Fake books exposed the limits of public data: Insider voices revealed hidden accounting manipulation and misuse of investor funds no spreadsheet showed. 15:05 Two expert conversations changed his life: Direct interviews overturned the company narrative and proved people beat reports in emerging markets. 18:10 Arches began as survival entrepreneurship: Freelance work funded the company while he built the expert network in parallel. 20:10 Overdelivery created early market wedge: Deep service to a few clients built trust and defensibility in a crowded expert industry. 26:00 Crisis permanently lowered fear of risk: Surviving near collapse reframed failure as damage, not death, unlocking bolder decisions.  Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/hiroki-kato-inside-market-truth #SoutheastAsia #StartupJourney #FounderStory #EmergingMarkets #VietnamBusiness #ExpertNetworks #EntrepreneurMindset #CorporateToStartup #RiskAndGrowth #BRAVEpodcast

In Part 2 of our conversation with Sofia May, she continues sharing her experiences connected to Tara Mandala and the community around lama Tsultrim Allione. We get into the messy, nuanced territory where Buddhist teachings, spiritual leadership, and real-world power dynamics intersect. We explore what draws people to Tibetan Buddhist communities and retreat centers in the first place, and how things can get complicated when reverence, hierarchy, and human behavior collide. Sofia shared her perspective on navigating doubt, loyalty, and disillusionment, and what happens when your spiritual home starts raising hard questions instead of providing easy answers.We also zoom out to look at broader patterns across guru-centered and high-demand spiritual communities, including teacher-student dynamics, accountability gaps, community pressure, and spiritual bypassing. This conversation isn't about flattening every Buddhist or Tara Mandala experience into one story, but about building discernment, consent, and self-trust when engaging with any spiritual teacher or organization. If you've ever wrestled with concerns about a spiritual leader or practice community, this one's for you.Be sure to check out the article in Guru Magazine in which Sofia May first shares her Tara Mandala experience, and follow her comedy journey on Instagram or TikTok @sofiamaycomedy.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of child and sexual abuse, coercive influence, and religious/spiritual trauma.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

The Great Knicks Debate: The hosts push back against Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton's theory that the Knicks should avoid the Pistons until the Conference Finals. They argue why facing a dangerous team early—before they earn postseason "battle scars"—is actually the smarter path. Office Controversy: Sean alleges that a coworker "stole" his specific critique of Brian Cashman's spring training wardrobe (likening him to a World Series of Poker player), sparking a debate on radio etiquette and borrowed opinions. Road Game Realities: The crew and callers trade war stories about the dangers of being a visiting fan in hostile environments like Philadelphia and Dallas—specifically the eerie silence (and occasional flying beer bottles) that follows a road team victory. The Dunk Contest & Giants Updates: A look at why even $1 million offers to stars like Kobe and LeBron couldn't fix the Dunk Contest, followed by injury recovery timelines for Giants players Cam and Malik Nabers.

Kimmy's story doesn't begin with rebellion. It begins with survival.Raised in a home where instability was the norm and addiction sat at the dinner table, Kimmy was introduced to meth at just ten years old when her own mother injected her. What followed was a childhood shaped by substance use, escalating mental health struggles, and self-harm that started in elementary school and grew alongside the chaos around her.Just as Kimmy was preparing for college, two devastating deaths in her family shifted everything. Grief deepened her addiction, and pain fueled behaviors she didn't yet have tools to heal.In this episode, Kimmy shares the raw reality of growing up in trauma, navigating mental illness, and eventually making the brave move to California in search of treatment for both her mental health and substance use. After moving through multiple treatment centers, she has remained sober since December 24th, 2024, refusing to give up on herself or her healing.This is a story about resilience, relapse risks, recovery, and the ongoing work of choosing life, clarity, and mental wellness every single day.A reminder that sobriety isn't just about putting down substances.It's about picking up hope.

This week, we cast our stones at 2001's The Glass House, a movie about a family with the last name Glass, who literally live inside of a glass house. SYMBOLISM!!! WOW! In this psychological mystery thriller, there is no mystery and there are no thrills. The only thrill I got was when I unsuccessfully attempted to drown myself after watching it. What a turd of a movie. GLASS HOUSE! WHITE FERRARI! LIVE FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!Surviving siblings sequestered by sinister surrogate stewards, stripped of any semblance of safety, swimming sexily, stalling stolen sports cars, sleuthing in shadows, and slaying in the sunlight. The obvious Skarsgard semen switcheroo! LeeLee sausage fest? “So mom and dad are dead, that sucks!” Mr. Big from Fucky in New York wants to bang Helen Hunt's Clone! Ruby's scary mommy dream!

With your co-hostesses: Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com Listen now: Today, we are welcoming one of our favorite people in the world, Dr. Barb Steffens, director emeritus of APSATS, to join us as we explore, "Surviving Relapse." Almost weekly, there is news of yet another ministry leader caught in a sex scandal or a Christian recovery leader having relapsed. Being in this field of work, the three of us are keenly aware of the fact that behind each scandal and each relapse there is, typically, a partner who is traumatically impacted. Relapse, specifically, is terrifying for partners because it reopens the wound they worked so hard to stabilize, instantly bringing back fear, shock, and a sense of lost ground. It's not just about his behavior returning—it's the nervous system remembering how unsafe and unprotected it once felt. We Will be Discussing: Does relapse have to be a part of recovery? What is HER relapse safety play? Forgiveness does not replace accountability or override safety of betrayed spouses and the broader community. So, when a ministry leader relapses, how do we distinguish between grace and wisdom? What hope can we leave our listeners?

Chris and Angela are back for episode 2 of The Slight Shift Show. They dive into the literal and metaphorical "shift" caused by a massive winter storm. While Chris enjoyed the powdery snow in New York, Angela found herself battling an "ice mountain" in Virginia. Through a frustrating ordeal involving broken plows and unhelpful contractors, Angela shares a powerful realization. When the heavy sledgehammer fails, a slight shift in angle with a simple child's spade can lead to a massive breakthrough. What lessons can we take away when uncertainty arrives? Key Discussion Topics Preparation vs. Reality: Comparing the Northeast's readiness for snow versus the Mid-Atlantic's struggle with infrastructure and "ice-over" conditions. There's a lesson for all of us here… The Mindset Shift: Transforming anger into empowerment. Angela discusses how she moved from feeling "bamboozled" by contractors to being grateful for the opportunity to prove her own strength. The "Angle" of Success: A literal shift in the angle of a shovel served as a metaphor for professional and personal life. Sometimes, doing the same thing harder isn't the answer; you need a different technique. Human Decency & Acts of Kindness: A call to action for listeners to perform small, selfless acts and take responsibility for community well-being. Helping others during a significant weather event is a perfect example.

I'm unpacking why free advice might be the very thing keeping you underpaid—and how to shift from being consumed to being invested in. In this solo episode of Woman of Influence, I'm sharing what the past few weeks have looked like here in Nashville—from navigating a historic ice storm to hosting my first in-person retreat in over two years—and how all of it led me back to a conversation I've been having repeatedly with my clients: the real cost of free advice. I take you inside the identity shift required to stop over-giving, stop confusing engagement with impact, and start being seen as a paid, trusted authority instead of a generous but invisible one. I break down why free content is a relationship, not a strategy, how it conditions your audience when you're not intentional, and why information alone never creates true transformation. I also share the moment a longtime follower told me exactly why she'd never invest in my work—and how that changed everything. If you've ever felt quietly resentful of giving so much without seeing it convert, this episode will help you reframe free content, clarify where real transformation begins, and step into leadership that's aligned, paid, and chosen.

This week, the show is joined by Parvati Shallow, two-time Survivor winner, current cast member on The Traitors, and author of Nice Girls Don’t Win: How I Burned it All Down to Claim My Power. Parvati shares about her childhood growing up in the Kashi Ashram, a high-control commune led by Joyce Green–or, as she made everyone call her, “Ma”. She discusses Joyce’s origin story and how she claimed to have experienced the stigmata, Joyce’s relationship with Ram Dass (who he later said he’d been bamboozled by her), and how she became increasingly coercive and controlling, including taking children from their parents and instructing members to scam their own families for money.Parvati reflects on how her parents escaped but ultimately came back to the group, what it was like living on the commune and being wild in nature, and how surviving that environment shaped her instincts, resilience, and ability to read people–skills that later helped her win Survivor, and how she’s now unpacking what it means to reclaim her power on her own terms.

Brent Oliver was partially decapitated by a cable strung between two trees while riding his dirt bike. After someone passing by did CPR on him for two hours. He was without oxygen for over twenty minutes and died. And came back. His story of recovery from a quadriplegic to having a thriving career, a family, and becoming an elite off-road driver is among the most powerful narratives I've ever heard. He is an example of unrelenting courage and determination. You'll never hear another story like this, because there are no other stories like this. 

www.teachhoops.com February is where the season tells the truth. Legs are heavy, emotions run higher, and every practice feels like it matters twice as much. In this episode, we talk about how this month doesn't create who your team is — it REVEALS it. And it reveals you, too. Coach Collins breaks down why most teams don't need more “stuff” right now… they need more CLARITY, CONSISTENCY, and CONNECTION. You'll hear why adding one more play, one more defense, or one more “special” look can tighten your team into fear instead of sharpening them for March. You'll also get four February anchors you can use immediately: shrink the menu, win the energy battle with standards, separate physically tired from mentally drained, and make the month about leadership instead of panic.

After a harrowing rock climbing accident, Whitney not only confronted her mortality but also rediscovered the profound importance of family and the lessons that come from our mistakes. Main Content: Section 1: The Family Lab - A New Approach to Parenting Whitney Archibald, a seasoned mother of five, has transformed her experiences into a valuable resource for families. With children ranging from 10 to 20 years old, she understands the evolving dynamics of family life. After her youngest began preschool, Whitney reignited her passion for writing, leading to her blog, "How She Moms," which eventually evolved into the podcast, "The Family Lab." She explains, "Family life is all an experiment, and we are just throwing things at the wall, trying to see what sticks." This refreshing perspective encourages parents to embrace the chaos and recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting. Section 2: The Unthinkable Accident On a seemingly ordinary day in July 2023, Whitney embarked on a rock climbing excursion with her children and nieces. Despite her cautious nature, a moment of oversight led to a life-altering fall. "I pride myself on being a safe climber," she recalls, but a simple mistake—failing to double-check her gear—resulted in a catastrophic 30-foot drop.

In Part 1 of this conversation with stand-up comedian and former Tara Mandala practitioner Sofia May, she joins us to talk about how a beautiful Tibetan Buddhist retreat center in the Colorado mountains—founded by western author lama Tsultrim Allione—slowly revealed a deeply culty underbelly beneath the goddess imagery and tantric empowerment language. Sofia traces her path from sincere Buddhist seeker to close student of lama Tsultrim inside Tara Mandala's residential community. She describes the powerful draw of the center's practices, trauma‑informed branding, and female‑centered spirituality, and how all that coexisted with secrecy, hierarchy, and a guru culture where doubt was pathologized and obedience was framed as devotion.We also get into the day‑to‑day dynamics at Tara Mandala—unpaid or underpaid labor justified as spiritual service, pressure to attend costly retreats and trainings, complex power plays in teacher–student relationships, and how survivors are now comparing notes about gaslighting, spiritual bypassing, and psychological harm in a place that promised healing above all. You'll want to read the article in Guru Magazine in which Sofia May first shared her experience, and stay tuned for Part 2.And be sure to follow Sofia May's comedy journey on Instagram or TikTok @sofiamaycomedy.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of sexual abuse and violence, spiritual and psychological abuse, financial and labor exploitation misogyny and boundary violations, and trauma.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
