High performance leaders often over-function due to decision fatigue, role pressure, and identity fusion. If delegation feels hard and success feels exhausting, this episode explains what's really happening — and how identity-level recalibration restores clarity.Many high-capacity humans believe delegation is a skill they haven't mastered yet. But what if that's not the problem?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why leaders over-function — not because they lack trust, competence, or systems, but because their nervous system doesn't know where they end and the role begins.If you're experiencing decision fatigue, success without fulfillment, role confusion, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode offers a long-awaited “aha.” We unpack how identity and responsibility quietly fuse over time, turning capacity into self-sacrifice and leadership into vigilance.Through nervous system science — explained without jargon — you'll learn why over-functioning is automatic, why rest doesn't land, and why slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrong. This is not about doing less; it's about restoring identity boundaries so leadership becomes discerning rather than compulsive.We also explore a real-world example from Kathleen Hogan, who led cultural transformation at Microsoft. As leaders learned to separate identity from role, collaboration increased, psychological safety expanded, and innovation accelerated — proving that clarity strengthens both people and organizations.This conversation is especially relevant for high-capacity humans navigating career transition, leadership evolution, or the quiet realization that what once worked is no longer sustainable.In this episode, we explore:Why over-functioning is an identity boundary issue, not a skill gapHow decision fatigue and role fusion exhaust the nervous systemThe difference between contribution by choice vs. compulsionWhy rest feels risky when identity is tied to responsibilityHow presence over performance restores sustainable leadershipToday's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask:Where am I still acting like I am the role?Then notice:What happens in your body when you imagine stepping backWhere tension appearsWhere relief tries to surface but doesn't fully landExplore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

If you've ever found yourself wishing your partner would just open up, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.In this intimate episode, Nina brings forward a question many of us quietly wrestle with: What do I do when I crave emotional connection and my partner keeps pulling away?Together, we explore the anxious–avoidant cycle:  that painful push-and-pull dynamic where one nervous system reaches for closeness while the other needs distance to feel safe. I will unpack why these patterns aren't personal failings, but nervous system strategies wired for survival.You'll learn:Why your longing for connection can trigger another's need for spaceHow to stop personalizing disconnection and start regulating your own systemThe difference between managing someone and revealing yourselfHow patriarchy teaches men to suppress emotions, and how reclaiming feelings heals us allThis episode offers insight, compassion, and gentle guidance for anyone learning how to love without losing themselves.For ongoing practice and deeper learning, join my monthly membership program.

If you're here today, it means your kids aren't with you...and that absence lands in the body, not just the heart.This episode is for the moms navigating holidays, weekends, or long stretches without their children after divorce. The quiet. The ache. The way your nervous system doesn't know where to settle when the people you're bonded to aren't home.Joy shares from lived experience what it's like to be deeply, trauma-bonded to your children — through pregnancy, birth, illness, caregiving, and survival — and then suddenly have to function without them physically present.In this conversation, we talk about:Why missing your kids after divorce can feel physically destabilizingHow maternal bonding and trauma bonding affect the nervous systemThe urge to stay busy, numb out, or dissociate — and why that makes senseWhat actually helped during the hardest hours (movement, EFT tapping, nature, structure)Why “doing nothing” can feel unbearable — and what to do insteadA simple candle ritual to honor the bond when your kids aren't with youHow to stay connected without collapsing or abandoning yourselfThis episode is not about fixing the grief or rushing you through it. It's about staying present with the truth that their bodies may be absent — but their love is not.If you're missing your kids today, you don't have to disappear to survive it. You're allowed to grieve and stay with yourself.

Today on Tess Talks, I'm joined by Kelli Zakharoff — midwife, author, educator and one of Australia's most outspoken voices challenging the modern maternity system. After decades working across public hospitals, private practice, alongside obstetricians, and as a home-birth midwife, Kelli has seen both the beauty and the deep fractures within birth care.Her book The Midwife Crisis: From Trust to Trauma exposes the emotional toll placed on midwives, the systemic failures impacting women and babies, and the realities no one wants to say out loud. This conversation goes beyond birth stories — it questions power, autonomy, trauma, and who our maternity system is really serving.In this episode:Why midwives feel “muzzled” and unable to speak openly within the systemThe emotional, physical and psychological toll of being a midwifeHome birth vs hospital birth — autonomy, safety and evidenceCaesarean rates, medicalisation and risk-driven maternity careBirth trauma and the rise of obstetric violenceWhat really happened at the end of Kelli's midwifery careerThe lack of support for healthcare workers after traumatic eventsCOVID's impact on maternity wards and frontline staffWhy continuity of care matters more than most women realiseThe myths — and realities — around home birthingEmpowerment, choice, and reclaiming trust in birthWhat midwives actually need to survive in the systemWhy telling these stories is the first step toward changeThis episode will challenge what you think you know about birth, hospitals, and the people entrusted with bringing life into the world.

Podcast Description: The Missing Piece in Chronic Illness (Electrons + Blood Flow)Schedule a Discovery Zoom Call https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/If you feel sick all the time and nothing seems to “stick,” this episode is for you. In this talk, Dr. Hugh shares a simple idea: many chronic illness cases are linked to being “electron deficient.” That means your body may not have enough negative charge to run well.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhat “electron deficient” means and why it matters for healingWhy short-term fixes may help for a bit, then stop workingHow the body depends on electrons to support energy and healthWhy tiny blood vessels (capillaries) matter most for real healingWhy blood cells can clump together when charge is lowWhat “zeta potential” means (simple version: the charge around red blood cells)Why smooth blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrientsA Simple Picture Dr. Hugh UsesBig blood vessels = about 1% of your systemTiny capillaries = about 99% of your systemThe point: real healing depends on the “small stuff” working wellKey Idea About Blood FlowRed blood cells need the right charge so they don't stick togetherWhen they stay separated, blood can flow better through tiny capillariesWhen they clump, it can slow delivery to tissuesTests and Clues MentionedBlood pH (needs to stay in a tight, healthy range)Sedimentation rate (sed rate/ESR) as a possible sign of clumping and inflammationSolutions Covered in the EpisodeGrounding (“Vitamin G”) to support electron flowPhosphatidylcholine (PC) to support cell membranes and healthy blood cell movementSupport the glycocalyx (a protective lining in blood vessels that has a negative charge)Stabilize blood sugarSupport minerals + hydrationFix the gut (because healing is harder when the gut is unhealthy)Address toxins like mold and heavy metals that may drain the systemWho This Episode Is ForPeople with chronic illness that won't improvePeople with fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, or poor circulationAnyone who feels like they have tried everything and still feels stuckMain TakeawayHealing works better when your body has the charge and support it needs.You don't need to suffer forever. You may just need a guided plan.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Sam Preston — CEO of Service Scalers — to talk about the marketing asset that still quietly outperforms everything else in home services: your Google Business Profile (GBP). John and Sam break down why AI hasn't disrupted GBP the way people expected, how Google reviews are now getting pulled directly into AI search results, and why “map pack visibility” remains the cheapest, highest-intent lead source in the game.They get tactical on what actually drives rankings and calls in 2026. Sam lays out the three biggest needle-movers — proximity, category/keyword strength, and reviews — and John shows how Wilson Companies invests roughly $10K/month into GBP because it drives roughly $500K/month in sales. They go deep on why location is a marketing decision, how to scale multiple profiles without overlapping service areas, and why most owners waste time optimizing tiny details before locking in the fundamentals.If your LSA performance is lagging, your organic lead volume feels capped, or you're planning multi-location growth next year, this episode is the blueprint for turning GBP into a compounding growth engine.What You'll LearnThe 3 ranking drivers that matter most: proximity, primary category, review cadenceWhy location is a marketing decision (and how it changes growth overnight)How to scale multi-trade businesses without confusing Google's category systemThe real review strategy: frequency, volume, quality, and photos

Have you ever walked into a room and thought, “Any minute now they're going to realise I've no idea what I'm doing”?In this episode of Super Brain, psychologist and neuroscientist Sabina Brennan unpacks what's often called imposter syndrome – and why the original researchers actually called it the impostor phenomenon instead.Drawing on brain science and real-world examples, Sabina explores what's happening in your threat circuits, reward system and perfectionist wiring when you're constantly bracing for the “fraud police” to knock on the door. You'll hear how early messages about being “the smart one” – or never quite smart enough – can set up a lifelong gap between how others see you and how you see yourself.Most importantly, you'll learn three practical tools to add to your Super Brain kit:– Name it, don't shame it – shifting from “I am a fraud” to “I'm having an impostor moment”– Rewire the self-doubt circuits – using neuroplasticity, self-compassion and “good enough” experiments– Change the context, not just yourself – noticing when your discomfort is data about an exclusionary systemThe impostor phenomenon isn't proof that you're a con artist. It's a protective brain story that you can gently update. You're allowed to be a work in progress – and you're allowed to be here while you're learning.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/superbrain. Hosted on Acast.

Private credit has become one of the most significant shifts in modern finance—quietly but rapidly reshaping how private companies access capital. Over the last decade, assets under management in the space have surged from roughly $500 billion to about $2 trillion, fueled by post-crisis regulation, a growing appetite for yield, and the rise of private equity. With headlines increasingly focused on “shadow banking,” retail access, and the long-term implications of private lenders replacing banks, the conversation around private credit has never been more timely.So, the core question is this: How did private credit grow so quickly, why does it matter now, and what does its rise mean for investors, lenders, and the broader financial system?In the third episode of our mini-series on the alternative asset market, Tuesdays with Morrisey host Adam Morrisey speaks with AB Private Credit Investors‘ President Brent Humphries and Managing Director Marc Cooper. As leaders within AllianceBernstein's $800 billion global investment platform, they break down what private credit is, why it has accelerated so dramatically, and how the industry is evolving as it enters its next phase of growth.Top TakeawaysPrivate credit has quietly become one of the biggest shifts in modern finance. It is now the primary way many private companies access capital, replacing what used to be a market run by the traditional banking system.The rise of private credit was largely created by regulation. After the financial crisis, new rules made it harder for banks to hold certain loans, and private lenders stepped in with faster, more flexible financing that met the needs of private equity and middle-market companies.Investors have been drawn to it because of its combination of yield, downside protection, and floating rates. It has delivered strong, steady returns without taking on other risks tied to interest rates, foreign currency, or market volatility.The big question now is where the risk sits. As more lending moves outside the regulated banking system, pension funds, insurance companies, and individuals hold a growing share of the credit exposure.Its next phase will include more retail access, more participation from insurers, and continued specialization among lenders. At the same time, AI is beginning to reshape underwriting, research, and operations, making investment teams faster and more efficient.Topics CoveredWhat “private credit” means and how direct lending worksHow bank regulation after 2008 shifted lending outside the traditional systemThe role of the unitranche structure in simplifying deal executionWhy private credit returns have attracted pensions, institutions, and high-net-worth investorsHow to evaluate private credit fund managers (track record, team retention, sector edge, platform model)Perceived risks and the “shadow banking” debateThe role of insurance capital and the rise of investment-grade private creditHow AI is influencing underwriting, research, and software-sector lendingFuture outlook for the next 5–10 years in private creditBrent Humphries is the President and a founding member of AB Private Credit Investors, where he oversees investment strategy, originations, underwriting, portfolio management, and investor relations for the firm's middle-market direct lending platform.

People-pleasing and codependent tendencies often stem from a religious upbringing. In my own journey of unraveling those behaviors, I've had to confront what I was taught to believe about God, obedience, and how “being good” kept me in line. In part one of my conversation with licensed therapist Kendra Hill, we define religious trauma and explore how fear, bypassing, and chronic self-surveillance get wired into us. Here's what we cover:Why many women feel terrified to stop people pleasing when religion is involved How growing up with a fear of divine punishment can shape your nervous systemThe difference between religious trauma and religious hurtHow spiritual bypassing teaches us to ignore our emotionsWhat happens when you're taught to trust authority instead of trusting yourselfKendra Hill is a neurodivergent artist, beauty seeker, exvangelical, and believer in people. By profession she is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Colorado and an online coach across the nation with a specific focus on providing space for those who have some kind of religious background, religious trauma, are deconstructing their faith, or come from high control environments.

What was your biggest Takeaway from this Episode! I would Love to hear from you!What if your “little food problem” — the restriction, bingeing, or rigid food rules — is actually your nervous system trying to survive?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Marnie Davis, LMHC, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Consultant, Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, and HAES®-aligned clinician.Together, we explore the hidden link between people pleasing, trauma, neurodivergence, and eating disorders — and why so many women, clinicians, and families completely miss what's really happening beneath the surface.This is a compassionate, non-shaming, neurodivergent-affirming episode that reframes eating disorders from “What's wrong with me?” to “What happened to me, and how did my system try to keep me alive?”⚠️ Content Note: We discuss eating disorders, body image, trauma, dissociation, and co-occurring mental health struggles. Please listen with care and take breaks as needed.✨ In This Episode, We Explore:How, from a trauma lens, eating disorders are maladaptive coping strategies that once made sense to your systemThe impact of attachment injuries, perfectionism, and people-pleasing on food, body image, and controlWhy eating disorders are not about vanity or willpower, but about safety, power, and relief from overwhelming sensations and emotionsThe role of culture, family rules, and “finish your plate” messages in shaping food beliefsHow neurodivergent brains (ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities) can be especially vulnerable to disordered eatingWhy one person dies every hour from an eating disorder and why a comprehensive medical + therapeutic team is crucialWhat healing can look like: becoming more self-led, value-driven, and authentically you

In this episode, I unpack what it is like to be labelled a dad who “lost custody” after years of giving everything to my son. I walk through my work story, how my flexible career and time with him were framed as a weakness in court, and why that judgement left such a deep feeling of shame.

When pipeline starts slipping and targets go up, most revenue leaders do the same thing: they panic. They launch new experiments, adopt the latest AI tools, and try to do more, faster, harder. But what if that's exactly what's keeping you stuck?This episode is part of a 5-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders take from reactive chaos to understanding and measuring their full revenue factory, and transforming their careers in the process. Each stage represents a critical transformation moment that separates leaders who consistently hit their targets and drive real results from those who scramble every quarter wondering why nothing's working.This episode explores Stage 1: The Panic Response, and it represents the first stage in revenue transformation. You're likely in Stage 1 if you're asking questions like, "What experiments should I try next?", "What are other companies doing that I should copy?", or "What AI tool is going to save my pipeline?".What We Cover in This Episode:Why the question "What experiments should I try next?" is fundamentally wrongHow to recognize if you're trapped in The Panic ResponseThe uncomfortable truth about why transformation only happens outside your comfort zoneWhat it actually takes to move from reactive scrambling to strategic confidenceWhy adding more tactics to a broken foundation only creates more noise in an already chaotic systemThe real reason you can't measure the impact of your investments, and what that means for your ability to drive growthWhat fundamental questions you're NOT asking because you don't have the data model to answer themThe moment of decision that separates leaders who transform from leaders who stay stuckHow to stop copying what other companies are doing and start building what actually works for YOUR revenue factoryIf you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever but can't prove you're moving the needle, this episode is for you.—This episode is powered by Passetto. If you're tired of staring at dashboards that don't tell you what you need to know, you're not alone. Most revenue leaders are flying blind because of the Pipeline Black Box™, a critical data gap that keeps you from understanding what's actually driving results. Passetto transforms how you run your revenue engine, so you can finally see what's working, fix what's not, and scale with precision.Tired of guessing what's generating pipeline and what's draining your resources?

What does it mean to be a compassionate alpha as a parent? It's not about being harsh or domineering, and it's not about being passive or permissive either. It's about finding that steady, sturdy ground between strength and warmth.In this episode, I unpack the term Compassionate Alpha (learned from Dr. Gordon Neufeld) and share why kids need a parent who can lead with both firmness and kindness. You'll hear why being “too soft” spikes a child's anxiety, why being “too hard” erodes trust, and how calm, confident leadership creates the safety kids need in order to just be kids.We'll explore:What a compassionate alpha parent really looks like in actionWhy connection must come before correctionHow sturdy leadership calms a child's nervous systemThe dangers of swinging to either extreme — passive or authoritarianPractical ways to embody calm, kind authority (even when you mess up)When you step into this role, your child can rest. They don't have to take charge. They don't have to fight for your attention or protection. They know you've got them. And that's the soil where trust, maturity, and deep connection grow.Tune in to learn how to lead with confidence and compassion — sturdy and kind, the way your kids need you most.Ready to go deeper with Connect Method Parenting?

No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number.After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free.We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state's contracts.Inside this episode:What really happens when you don't get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your childThe process Veda used to get a passport without a state-issued IDWhy a “family Bible” can hold legal weight in proving lineage and identityHow the social security number binds your child into the U.S. corporate systemThe link between freebirth and reclaiming jurisdiction over your body and familyWhat it's like to raise a child who has never been registered by the stateThe unseen cost of outsourcing authority—and what you reclaim when you stopTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:01] Choosing radical self-trust after rejecting the medical model[09:21] Learning to sit in the unknown and trust yourself through freebirth[22:54] Rethinking the birth certificate as a contract with the state and choosing a sovereign path instead[26:08] Creating private records to get a passport without a birth certificate[36:47] Using private trusts and EINs as alternatives to social security numbers and state contracts[52:44] Facing fear, claiming trust, and birthing in full sovereignty with family by your sideResources Mentioned:The Business of Being Born | MovieIf you want to connect with Veda, you can find her website here, and follow her @veda.revival.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
