What if the real differentiator between thriving franchise brands and struggling ones comes down to two simple traits: humility and hunger?In this episode, Adam Contos, a high-performance leadership expert, former CEO of RE/MAX, and a leading voice in the franchise industry joins us for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what truly drives franchise success. From his early days in the Marine Corps reserves and law enforcement to leading one of the most recognized franchise brands in the world, Adam brings the kind of clarity leaders desperately need right now.Adam breaks down why risk-taking is non-negotiable, how leaders unknowingly sabotage progress, and why decision-making, not perfection, is the real engine of growth. He also shares what most franchisors get wrong when communicating with their networks, how to build A-player teams, and why visibility isn't optional if you want your franchisees to trust you. This is leadership without fluff: direct, grounded, and immediately applicable.Whether you're scaling an emerging brand, rebuilding systems, or trying to develop stronger leaders inside your organization, this episode gives you a clear look at the habits, decisions, and mindset shifts that actually move a franchise system forward. You'll walk away with a sharper mindset, clearer priorities, and a better understanding of what leadership actually requires.Connect with Adam:Website: https://www.adamcontos.com/Franchise Membership Community: https://yourfranchisegroup.com/Episode Highlights:Why risk tolerance separates winning brands from stagnant onesThe biggest leadership blind spots founders don't see comingAdam's simple 3–2–1 decision-making frameworkWhat “founder syndrome” looks like inside a franchise systemHow visibility builds trust at scaleWhy tech adoption is always a challenge and what to do about itThe real job of a franchisor (according to Adam)When and how to upgrade talent without guiltWhy humility accelerates leadership growthHow to develop leaders who can replace youConnect with Tracy Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale JBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/ Email: podcast@jbfsale.com Connect with Shannon Personal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale Website - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/ Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com
“Weakness simply means your capacity is lower than what the moment requires.”I recorded this episode in the middle of a full, emotional, end-of-year season. The kind where you want to soak up every moment with your kids, make the holidays meaningful, and still somehow hold it all together… while feeling stretched, tired, and not quite like yourself.And that's exactly why I wanted to talk about weakness.Because what we usually call weakness isn't failure. It isn't a character flaw. And it doesn't mean something is wrong with you as a parent or a human. Most of the time, it simply means the demand of the moment exceeds your current capacity.In this episode, I walk you through how I've learned to understand weakness differently and what actually helps when it shows up, especially during high-demand seasons like the holidays.In this episode, I share:Why weakness tends to surface when life gets full, loud, and emotionalThe reframe that changed everything for me: weakness is about capacity, not characterHow shame turns moments of weakness into yelling, spiraling, shutting down, or controlThe four ways I see parents (and myself) respond to weakness:Projecting it onto our kidsAttacking ourselves with “I should be better”Trying to overpower it with willpowerHiding it and calling it “fine”Why self-attack does not create strength and what it actually does to your nervous systemHow truth and honesty stabilize your body and open the door to growthWhat I do now when I realize my capacity is lower than the moment requiresWhy repair matters more than perfection and what really builds resilience in kidsThe shift I'm inviting you into:Instead of asking yourself, What's wrong with me? Try asking, What support do I need right now?Because capacity can be rebuilt. Regulation can return. And when weakness is met with compassion instead of shame, it often becomes the place where connection deepens and growth begins.What I encourage you to practice this week:Stop running from weakness and get honest about what's happeningReplace criticism with curiosityLead with compassion first because safety is what allows changeDecide what actually needs support, not what needs to be fixedLet go of performance and focus on repair and honesty insteadA question to sit with:Where do you notice weakness showing up for you right now? And what might you need to adjust or ask for so you can show up with more kindness instead of more pressure?You don't need to be strong all the time to be a great parent. You just need to stay honest, keep noticing, and be willing to repair.xoxoAndee :) Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

▶︎▶︎Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code': https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/the-connection-code We're living in a time where information is everywhere, yet so many women still feel overwhelmed and stuck in survival mode. Modern self-care often adds more pressure, more rules, and more to-do's, leaving the nervous system even more dysregulated than before.In my recent stage talk for the International Hyperbarics Association, I shared why healing doesn't come from doing more, chasing protocols, or perfect routines. It begins with nervous system regulation, connection, and learning how to shift out of chronic fight-or-flight and back into safety, presence, and intuition — using simple, realistic tools that actually fit into daily life.What You'll Learn:Why chronic stress, digital overload, and constant stimulation keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flightHow nervous system dysregulation shows up as anxiety, burnout, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and emotional overwhelmThe difference between living in beta brainwaves versus accessing alpha and theta for healing and clarityWhy self-care needs a rebrand — and why traditional self-care often misses the nervous system entirelyWhat “regulation reps” are and how short, consistent moments of regulation rewire the nervous systemHow micro moments of connection improve mood, focus, resilience, and emotional regulationWhy play, joy, and oxytocin are powerful tools for hormone balance and nervous system healthHow to move from living in your head back into your heart — without adding more to your plateResources:Preorder my new book ‘The Connection Code': https://beehive.drmelissasonners.com/the-connection-code My Red Light faves, with special codes and discounts: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/red-light-guide Be Inspired Mama Journal: https://amzn.to/4afbs3s Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?

This week's Dare Day episode was inspired by an unexpected quiet moment.An early morning drive.No traffic. No radio. nd the sudden realisation that I could hear birds singing — from inside the car.That small moment led to a bigger question: when did we stop noticing what's around us?In this bonus episode, Michelle shares a simple but grounding story about an early winter morning, a red sky, a cup of tea in the garden, and how listening — properly listening — shifted her entire day.The episode also connects to insights from Episode with Georgia, who described a chance visit to an RSPB hide that made her realise how much of the natural world she'd been missing simply because she'd never stopped to notice it.This isn't sentimental fluff. There's real science behind why moments like this feel so powerful.In this episode, we cover:Why natural sounds like birdsong calm the nervous systemHow most of us live in low-level fight-or-flight without realisingThe concept of “soft fascination” and why nature restores a tired brainHow listening grounds us in the present and eases anxietyWhy nothing has to change around you for something to shift internallyThis Week's Dare:Take 5–10 minutes early in the morning.Before your phone. Before conversations. Before the world gets loud.No music. No podcasts. No scrolling. Make a tea or coffee if you like. Sit outside, on a doorstep, balcony, or by an open window.Close your eyes. And listen.Birds, wind, distance, silence — whatever is there.You're not trying to relax. You're not fixing anything. You're simply reminding your nervous system that it's safe.If you've stopped hearing the birds, there's a good chance you've been carrying too much noise for too long.Want weekly dares like this?Dare Club is free to join and lands these weekly dares straight in your inbox, along with early access to live events and special announcements.You can sign up via the link in the episode description or through Instagram.Thanks for listening — and enjoy this week's dare.Join Dare Club https://stan.store/shewhodareswins Hosted on Acast.

If you open your eyes and instantly feel mentally crowded, emotionally tense, or already behind, this 15-minute morning practice is going to change everything about how your day begins.In today's episode, I'm sharing the exact 15-minute sequence I use on mornings when I wake up anxious, wired, or overwhelmed — and the neuroscience behind why it works. Morning anxiety isn't a mindset issue. It's a physiological pattern driven by cortisol rhythms, overstimulation, and a nervous system that hasn't been fully off-duty in a long time.When you learn how to work with your body instead of forcing your way through your mornings, you create a completely different internal experience: calmer thoughts, steadier emotions, and a more grounded start to your day.What you'll learn in this episode:Why morning anxiety is so common among high-capacity womenWhat the cortisol awakening response is and how it affects your emotional baselineThe number-one mistake most women make in the first 60 seconds of their dayThe full 15-minute practice I use when I wake up overwhelmedThe somatic movements that instantly calm your systemHow hydration, nourishment, and gentle pacing shift your mood and energyThe final 60-second ritual that anchors clarity and presence for the rest of your dayIf you've been waking up stressed, rushed, or already overstimulated before your morning even starts, this episode will give you a simple, powerful framework to reset your system and start your day grounded.Press play and learn the morning practice your nervous system has been asking for.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeMy 5-step Morning RoutineWhat To Do the Morning After (A Bad Night's Sleep)5 Morning Mistakes that Wreck Your Nervous System and Cause BurnoutMorning Meditation: Grounded, Grateful, and EnergizedNot a Morning Person or is it Actually AM Anxiety?

Send us a textYou've probably heard at some point that endometriosis is a lifelong, progressive disease that only gets worse with time. But the research tells a very different (and far more hopeful) story.In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo, to break down decades of studies showing that endometriosis often stabilizes, regresses, or even resolves. We explore why symptoms don't always reflect lesion behavior, how inflammation and the nervous system influence endo, and what this means for your healing.This conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.Highlights:The myth of inevitable progressionWhat studies actually show about lesion behaviorWhy symptoms ≠ progressionThe role of inflammation, immunity, and the nervous systemHow lifestyle can support your body without obsession

Sometimes growth feels beautiful… and sometimes it feels like your shadow self is trying to hijack the wheel.This week, I got humbled.. deeply ... and I bring you into the actual behind-the-scenes of what healing looks like when old wounds resurface out of nowhere.In this episode, I shares:How Mercury retrograde unearthed wounds she thought were long goneThe real reason ego flare-ups happen when you start becoming more visibleWhy being “of service” can trigger trauma from childhood, addiction, and past relationshipsThe shadow traits that develop when you grow up invisible or unseenHow identity wounds create personas (attention-seeking, performance, power hunger)What shame does to your nervous systemHow to face the parts of yourself you're scared to look atWhy validation hits old childhood buttonsHow to reconnect to authentic service instead of people-pleasingWhy healing in layers is normal, not failuremy website if you want to work with me: www.mymyndspace.com
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to slip back into old habits — whether it's slouching at your desk or drifting into fear and self-doubt in your business? In this episode, Michel Ai Reavis explores the beautiful connection between physical posture and energetic posture. Drawing inspiration from her recent physical therapy journey, she explains how manifesting works exactly like building muscle memory: at first, it takes conscious effort… but with gentle repetition, it becomes natural, effortless, and automatic.Michel walks you through what “energetic muscle memory” actually means and why so many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle with holding their desired vibration. With understanding, compassion, and grounded wisdom, she shares how your energy has patterns — just like your body — and how you can retrain both with soft, steady awareness. You'll learn how to shift out of old scarcity or fear-based postures and into the frequency of trust, abundance, and alignment that matches what you're calling in.Throughout the episode, Michel offers practical, soul-soothing ways to reconnect with your aligned frequency throughout the day, even in tiny micro-moments. From somatic anchors to frequency scripts to creating environments that cue your nervous system into expansion, she teaches you how to gently and consistently return to the vibration of your desires. Over time, these small practices accumulate…until the energy you once had to consciously choose becomes your new normal.If you've ever wondered how to stay in the vibration of what you're manifesting — especially during busy seasons, doubt cycles, or low-energy days — this episode gives you a spiritual and neurological roadmap. You'll walk away feeling empowered, supported, and ready to build the energetic muscle memory of your highest self.Topics Covered:What “energetic muscle memory” means and why it mattersUnderstanding your current energetic “default” and how it was formedThe conscious realignment phase and why it's not a sign of failureMicro-moments of vibrational recalibration throughout your daySomatic cues that help your body lead your energy into alignmentEnvironmental cues that support an aligned nervous systemHow to respond compassionately when your vibration dipsWhat it feels like when your new vibration becomes automaticTune in to feel supported, grounded, and gently reminded of your own brilliance — and to learn how to make the vibration of your desires your natural, effortless energetic home.

Self-love isn't a pep talk—it's the foundation that makes pleasure possible. In this intimate conversation, Monique Carmela and I get practical about dissolving shame, regulating your nervous system, and letting desire return—especially in long-term relationships and real-life seasons like motherhood and stress. We unpack why “doing more” often backfires, how curiosity and compassion soften resistance, and how tiny self-devotions (breath in bed, shower rituals, a five-minute hand massage) build momentum without pressure. You'll learn how to reframe “pleasure practice” as simple “time for me,” create a weekly devotional that actually fits your life, and expand your capacity to feel—so you naturally expand your capacity for pleasure and connection.You'll learn:A body-based approach to self-love that calms your nervous systemHow to meet shame and resistance without shutting downMicro-practices you can weave into busy daysWhy devotion beats discipline for sustainable intimacyResources mentioned:Guest: Monique Carmela — The Good Girl Unleashed podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/6grEys2iLKkDcPv3zKmAnP @moniquecarmela.lovemoniquecarmela.comFree 5-Day Sensual Embodiment Challenge: https://janninemackinnon.com/5-day-sensual-embodiment-challenge/Membership: Sensual Embodiment Collective (ongoing guided practices): https://janninemackinnon.com/sensual-embodiment-collective/
Modern parenthood wasn't meant to be a solo project, yet so many new moms and dads are trying to figure it out in isolation. We scroll, read, and listen to every parenting podcast, but at the end of the day, it still feels lonely. The truth is, no amount of information can replace the transformation that happens in community.In this episode of the Better Relationships After Baby Podcast, Chelsea and Mike dig into the power of group connection — why real change happens faster when parents have support, accountability, and belonging. They unpack what science and psychology show us about group learning and why joining a Mom Group or Dad Group can radically shift how couples communicate and cope in early parenthood.Why you can't self-help your way out of postpartum lonelinessThe science of co-regulation and why community calms your nervous systemHow group learning builds real-life communication skills (thanks, Bandura!)The difference between therapy and postpartum coaching and how they work togetherWhy peer support and accountability make new habits stickHow virtual groups for parents create connection, even when you can't leave the houseWhat happens when one partner spirals, and how community creates a ripple of healing for the whole familyChelsea and Mike also share personal stories from their own experience running online parent groups for the past five years. From the first-time mom who finally said, “I'm not broken , I just needed other women who get it,” to the new dad who realized that he didn't have to fix everything, just show up...these are the moments that remind us we were never meant to do this alone.Research continues to show that new parent support groups lower rates of postpartum depression and anxiety for both mothers and partners. Group coaching allows couples to learn and practice new skills in a safe, encouraging environment. Unlike anonymous online threads, a guided virtual group combines real relationships, evidence-based tools, and accountability that actually creates growth.In a season where life can feel like a blur of bottles, diapers, and exhaustion, having a space that's just for you, one that helps you regulate, reflect, and reconnect, isn't a luxury. It's a necessity.Chelsea and Mike explain how postpartum coaching helps couples after baby rebuild their foundation. When stress runs high, our brains go into survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze. But in a group setting, you learn how to interrupt those patterns, communicate effectively, and show up as teammates instead of adversaries. It's where you can practice the conversations you've been avoiding, get feedback from peers who are in the same season, and walk away with language you can use that same night at home.If you've ever ended the day back-to-back with your partner, each on your phones, wondering why connection feels so hard, then this episode is for you. Whether you're an expecting couple, new parents in the thick of it, or a few years in and still trying to find your rhythm, community is the missing piece most families are craving.Chelsea and Mike's Mom Group (Mondays at 7PM ET) and Dad Group (Tuesdays at 7PM ET) are small, virtual groups designed for real-life parents who want practical tools, a sense of belonging, and conversations that go deeper than social media highlight reels.Week One is free so there's no pressure, no performance, just a chance to see what it feels like to be part of a community built around growth and honesty.Tune in and learn why the future of strong families starts with strong communities.Questions?

Real strength isn't about pushing harder — it's about moving smarter.In this episode, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore how fascia, biomechanics, and functional training reshape the way we think about strength. They discuss why “more effort” doesn't always mean “more power,” and how the body's connective intelligence — fascia — plays a vital role in building functional, sustainable strength that supports rather than strains.Through practical insights and fascia-focused awareness, they uncover what true strength really feels like: elastic, responsive, and deeply integrated. This conversation is for teachers, therapists, and movers who want to go beyond muscle-based training and develop an intelligent relationship with the body's natural architecture.In this episode:Why more effort doesn't always create more strengthThe difference between force and functional movementFascia as the body's intelligent support systemHow awareness improves flexibility, recovery, and performanceMyofascial training and dynamic resilience in practiceLearn more about fascia-focused education and embodied movement: https://myofascialmagic.com#fasciatraining #functionaltraining #myofascialrelease #biomechanics #functionalfitness #fasciaflexibility #somaticintelligenceSIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

Send us a textYou've felt it: that moment when someone walks into a room and shifts the entire energy. Or when you catch yourself in the same destructive pattern with different people. Or when you finally spoke a different truth about yourself and things started to change. But did you know there's actual science behind all of it?In this eye-opening solo episode, Alison Lager breaks down the physics, neuroscience, and quantum mechanics that prove one undeniable truth: your thoughts, words, and beliefs are literally shaping your reality—and they're doing it right now. She goes deep into real, measurable science (not metaphors) to show you exactly how your brain generates electromagnetic waves, how your heart broadcasts a field 5,000 times stronger than your brain, and why the words you use trigger actual biochemical changes in your nervous system.But this isn't just theory. Alison gives you concrete, actionable practices you can start today to rewire your programming, override the beliefs that have been holding you back, and step into the life you're actually meant to live. This episode is a wake-up call disguised as a science lesson—and she's not holding back about why this information has been kept from us.Key HighlightsThe scientific truth: thoughts produce measurable electromagnetic waves that broadcast beyond your bodyYour heart's electromagnetic field is 5,000 times stronger than your brain—here's what that meansWords restructure your nervous system: negative words increase cortisol, positive words increase dopamine and serotoninThe programming trap: how childhood beliefs continue to run your life (and how to identify yours)The cancellation technique: how to override limiting beliefs moment by moment using languageQuantum physics proves it: observing a thought changes matter (and energy follows intention)The water study and what it means for your body (you're 70% water)Practical daily practices: setting intentions, reframing negative events, and commanding your reality instead of begging for itWhy you're not attracting what you want—you're attracting who you areThe role of gratitude and "yes" statements in rewiring your nervous systemHow pain can be a transformational tool if you choose to use it that wayWhy changing even one thought changes the landscape of your brainConnect with Alison LagerInstagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager LCSW CASACBook: "The Wake Up Call"Facebook Groups: Alison Answers Group | Women of ExcellenceTopics, Themes, and TagsTopics:Neuroscience of thought and beliefElectromagnetic waves and the brainHeart's electromagnetic fieldWords and nervous system restructuringProgramming and limiting beliefsQuantum physics and reality creationNeuroplasticity and rewiringIntention setting and energy flowCortisol vs. dopamine and serotoninWater crystallization studiesPain as a transformation toolPersonal agency and accountabilityThemes:Science meets spiritual

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and today's episode is a little different — because I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the 10 shifts that completely changed my life back in 2018.At that time, I was burned out, overwhelmed, and living on autopilot. I was overworking, over-giving, and running on empty. What followed was a total 180 — a series of choices, both big and small, that moved me out of survival mode and into alignment.These shifts are the foundation of why I do what I do today, and why I know change doesn't always have to be slow. Sometimes, it's a leap.In this episode, I share:Why I stopped doing “all the things” and gave myself permission to pauseThe powerful question I started asking daily: What do I need right now?How surrounding myself with bold, courageous people cracked me open to possibilityThe role mentors, coaching, and NLP played in rewiring my patternsWhy I traded performance wellness (triathlons, hot yoga) for practices that reset my nervous systemHow holding a clear vision, protecting my energy, and choosing myself every day shifted everythingIf you've been hearing the whisper that something has to change, let this episode be your permission slip. You don't have to keep pushing. You don't have to keep burning out. One shift — big or small — can be the doorway to a whole new way of living.Big Takeaways:Burnout isn't the end of the story — it can be the beginning of alignment.You're allowed to stop, reassess, and choose differently.The shifts that change everything often begin with presence, courage, and self-trust.I'd love to hear from you: Which of the 10 shifts resonates most with you?

Whatever it is, I'm here today to offer you a blueprint for transformation—a grounded way to become your authentic self, clarify your ideal life and relationships, and create them with purpose.In this episode, I walk you through the exact steps to incorporate as you create any kind of shift in your life.

I'm so glad you're here with me to explore what's possible for your life transformation. Let's get started.What you'll learn:Why it doesn't matter whether growth is chosen or forced by circumstances–you're still making the choice to move toward what's possible for youThe first step of any life transformation: getting grounded in order to create safety in the nervous systemHow to set intentions and anchor them so you stay the course through setbacks and even rock-bottom momentsWhy the incredible power of co-regulating and connection with others makes group work so transformativeHow healing and integration will help you release the fear and self-doubt that hold you backYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireThe new book, She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective, is coming soon!

You're crushing your to-do list, checking off task after task, but by 3 PM you feel like you've been hit by a truck. Sound familiar? That was my guest Heather Chauvin's reality until a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2013 changed everything.As a mom of three boys and a new business owner, Heather was in the thick of juggling it all. She was getting things done, hitting deadlines, and managing everything on her plate. But she was also completely burned out, resentful, and running on fumes with an internal ache that this wasn't sustainable. Her cancer diagnosis became an unexpected teacher, showing her that there's a whole other layer to how we manage our time and energy.Today, Heather shares what she discovered about energetic time management and why asking "How do I want to feel?" might be more powerful than asking "What do I need to do?" In This Episode, We Cover:Why energy management works alongside your planning systemHow to spot invisible energy drains in your daily lifeWhy women automatically shrink themselves (and how to stop)The simple question that changes how you make decisionsWhat alignment actually feels like in real lifeHow to stop doing emotional work for other peopleConnect with Heather:Website: heatherchauvin.comEmotionally Uncomfortable Podcast: heatherchauvin.com/podcastInstagram: instagram.com/heatherchauvin_JOIN THE PLAN-A-PALOOZA ANNUAL PLANNING WORKSHOP The #1 Planning Event for Women, That Works for REAL Life!Live October 15 & 16, 2025Business Owners can add Oct 17Create Your Roadmap for 2026...

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm unpacking why “just think positive” advice often backfires and offering a more sustainable approach rooted in both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and tarot. Together, we'll explore why lasting change doesn't start with your thoughts, and why it actually starts with your actions.I'll walk you through how trauma wires the brain to anticipate harm, how DBT helps us hold two truths at once, and why micro-moments of safety and agency are the real building blocks of healing. You'll learn how tarot can be more than just a tool for insight and how it can be a guide for new experiences.Along the way, we'll explore:The problem with the phrase “Change your thoughts, change your life”Why action leads and thoughts follow when it comes to rewiring your nervous systemHow cards like The Fool, Eight of Pentacles, and Page of Cups can guide you into new behaviorsA 3-card “Micro Wins & New Paths” spread to help you notice small glimmers and create change
Is it possible for teachers to have both autonomy in their math classroom and alignment with district goals? In this episode, we challenge the idea that autonomy and alignment are opposing forces. Instead, we explore how they can work together to create strong, consistent math programs while still honouring professional judgement and instructional creativity.From pacing guides to new resources, we reflect on how district structures can feel restrictive—but don't have to be. When done well, alignment provides clarity, consistency, and support, without sacrificing a teacher's voice or expertise.In this episode, you'll discover:Why autonomy and alignment are not opposites—but parts of the same systemHow strong alignment can actually support, not diminish, teacher autonomyReal examples of how districts and teachers can find the right balanceHow to shift the narrative around pacing guides and new resourcesWhy system-wide alignment benefits students without disempowering teachersNot sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?
