Stepha Stock (aka Love Stepha) is a Brisbane-based portrait photographer, DJ, model, and self-proclaimed creative wild card. In this episode, we get into creativity as a business strategy, not just a personality trait, and why trusting yourself to figure it out as you go is the thing that actually moves the needle. In this episode: How Stepha's three-word prompt content series pushed her creative edges without a plan or a guarantee it would work Why the "moments in between" are where the real magic happens, in photo shoots and in business The personal brand sandwich: professional credentials, personal beliefs, and passions, and why it's the passions that actually hook people How Stepha pitched herself publicly to photograph Erika Jayne and got the gig Why 80–90% of cool opportunities are self-generated, and what that means for you Resources mentioned: Stepha Stock: lovesteffa.com | @lovesteffa on Instagram Work with Suz: Ready to build a personal brand that actually converts?

Join Rob and Suz this week as we look at what could possibly be the most documented haunting case in America, the Demon House of Gary, Indiana! This home was allegedly the host to 200 DEMONS who plagued this unfortunate family for the best part of a year between 2011-2012. Was this a legitimate haunting, or was it something more grounded but equally terrifying??Let us know what you think!All our links here - https://www.linktr.ee/spookyafMusic: Dank Halloween by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Hosted on Acast.

What if menopause isn't an ending, but the beginning of your finest self? In Japan, the transition is called Konenki — the season of renewal and regeneration, a "second spring" that elevates women into a higher stature of wisdom and influence. Yet here in the West, nearly a third of women consider quitting their careers at the very height of their power, convinced that brain fog, anxiety, and hormonal chaos mean something has gone terribly wrong. Dr. Beth welcomes back Dr. Suzannah (Suz) Bozzone, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, educator, and opera singer — for an honest, hope-filled deep dive into perimenopause and menopause. Together they unpack the science of the hormonal "orchestra," the neuroplastic transformation of the menopausal brain, and the practical lifestyle shifts that help women not just survive this transition, but step into a new chapter of clarity, leadership, and authentic becoming. What You'll Learn: Why perimenopause is a brain transformation — like puberty in reverse — and what the temporary three-year dip really means for the decade that follows How to picture your hormones as a vocal trio inside a full endocrine orchestra, and why "one pill for every ill" falls short The Japanese concept of Konenki and how reframing this season as renewal, not loss, changes everything The gut–hormone connection: how your microbiome and "estrobolome" shape symptoms, and why 30+ plant species a week matters more than any single superfood Dr. Suz's signature "crazy salad" — the daily, medicine-like meal that supports estrogen balance Why midlife women are uniquely positioned to lead, and how to advocate for yourself at home, at work, and at the doctor's office About the Guest Dr. Suz Bozzone is a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, speaker, and mom of three who partners with workplaces and women's groups nationwide. Her e-book and journal Chronic Power to Perimenopause releases late May 2026.  Connect with Dr. Suz: Website: drsuzb.com Instagram: @drsuzb YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@drsuzb Get Konenki: Power to Perimenopause and Beyond If you're navigating puberty in your kids, perimenopause in yourself, or new caregiving roles with aging parents — this episode is a gentle reminder that you are not losing your mind. You are becoming. Press play, take what resonates, and share this with a friend, daughter, mother, or colleague who needs to hear that her finest self is still ahead. Visit neverperfect.org for more.

Don't save your marriage for.... later! In this episode of the Crazy Cool Family Podcast, we sit down with McKenzie (our 4th daughter) to introduce the marriage Deep Dive “Fostering Love in Your Marriage.” She has been married for 4 1/2 years and has two tiny, beautiful daughters. Together they unpack why the word fostering matters — nurturing, cultivating, and fighting toward something good — and why so many couples drift into fighting against each other instead of fighting for their relationship. Suz and Kenz talk about how marriage can become a “back burner” once kids arrive, but why it's worth prioritizing again because children can feel unity and disunity in the home. The conversation centers on returning to what God says about love and marriage, using Scripture as the anchor rather than relying only on the world's tools. They also share practical rhythms couples can start using right away, including making time, practicing honesty, doing regular check-ins, and choosing to love with intentionality. If you are looking for a way to invest in your marriage this month, this is the podcast for you. Listen and share with a friend, today! Podcast Resources: Click here for everything Crazy Cool Family!

What if the phrases you hear in a workout could actually carry you through the hardest chapters of your life? My friend Suz and I sat down with Emma Lovewell's memoir, "Live Learn Love Well", and followed the thread from the bike to real-world resilience: family roots on Martha's Vineyard, the ache of divorce, the shock of loss, and the steady return to self through movement, mindfulness, and self-respect. We talk about why “progress, not perfection” is more than a punchy motto—it's a practical way to live when goals get heavy and life gets loud. You'll hear how Emma's early exposure to meditation and her mother's fearless body comfort set the tone for emotional tools that actually work. We also dig into gardening as a life practice: patience, compost as “valuable trash,” and the deep peace of tending something you can control when everything else feels uncertain.  Her care your identity shines through every page as Emma aims to help us all discover our Voice. She shares what it meant to feel caught between cultures as a half Chinese woman, and how a trip to Taiwan reframed belonging as a bridge rather than a gap. Suz and I reflect on forgiving without forgetting and learning to shout out your wins—big and small—so opportunities can find you. If you need a reset that blends therapy-backed tools with sweat-tested wisdom, this conversation meets you where you are and walks beside you, one honest rep at a time. If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share with a friend who loves Peloton or a good memoir, and leave a quick review.
