Podcasts about taking action

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this special Summer Flip Series episode, I'm so excited to share a powerful and honest conversation I had on the Online Business for Christian Women podcast with my dear friend Stefanie Gass. We're diving deep into the truth behind what really creates long-term success in online business—refining your messaging, trusting your path, and giving yourself permission to fully own your genius. I open up about my journey from PR and blogging to building a multi-million dollar brand, and how messaging clarity + visibility became the foundation of it all. We also talk about the difference between content and messaging, how to make your message move people (and create sales), and why the real transformation begins when you stop trying to be someone else and start fully owning what's already inside you. Plus, I share my favorite visibility tips for landing opportunities before you feel "ready." If you're craving alignment, clarity, and a permission slip to go all in on your calling, this episode is for you! Liked this episode?

What if your body held the key to the confidence, clarity, and creative power you've been chasing in your mind? In a culture that rewards logic, productivity, and stillness, so many women have been shamed into silence, not just verbally, but physically. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Amy Schadt, certified life coach and embodiment expert, to explore what it means to reclaim movement. Amy shares her journey from being a shy, voiceless child to a dynamic force for healing through her Radical Embodiment Method. From her early years as a dancer to the profound loss of her fiancé and the grief that followed, Amy opens up about how embodiment has been both her refuge and revolution.  Whether you're a creative aching for space to breathe, a woman recovering from trauma, or a leader craving more alignment in your entrepreneurial journey, this episode is your map. Because when you come back to your body, you come back to your power. What You Will Learn: Movement can be a powerful and valid form of communication, especially for those who struggle to express themselves verbally. Early childhood movement, like dance or physical play, is a natural way of processing emotion. Embodiment is not just a trendy concept, it's a deeply personal journey of reclaiming presence, sensation, and self-expression. Personal loss, such as the death of a loved one, can become a catalyst for transformation and rebirth through embodied healing. Entrepreneurship can be an empowering path for creatives who want to earn income in alignment with their values and passions. Many creatives struggle with subconscious beliefs that money is harmful or will rob them of authenticity. Embodied practices can help entrepreneurs navigate fear, burnout, and identity shifts as they step into leadership. Physical movement can support emotional regulation and self-soothing. Healing the body-mind disconnect can unlock access to deeper self-awareness, personal power, and creative flow. Shame around moving “too much” or “being too much” is often rooted in outdated expectations and can be released through embodiment work. Connect with Amy Schadt Website Connect with Anjel B.

In today's raw and real episode, Nico gets straight to the truth: you're never going to feel “ready.” But guess what? Readiness is a lie. The ones who win aren't the smartest—they're the most coachable. Nico shares why coachability, not perfection, has been his superpower in building a multifamily portfolio from zero to 76 units. You'll hear about surfing lessons, real estate mistakes, ego traps, and what it really takes to build a life on your own terms. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment… this episode is your wake-up call. Paddle in, even if you're scared. Especially if you're scared.

How many times have you convinced yourself you were healing—reading the books, attending the workshops, repeating affirmations—only to find yourself stuck in the same cycles? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Anat Peri, inner child expert. Anat dismantles the illusion of surface-level self-development and invites us into a deeper, more embodied path to transformation.  Anat's story is a masterclass in surrender, resilience, and leadership. She pulls back the curtain on why mindset alone isn't enough and how emotional resiliency is the true foundation of freedom.  If you've ever felt like you're “doing the work” but not actually changing, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need. What You Will Learn: How growing up with a “just think positive” mindset can unintentionally lead to emotional suppression and anxiety. Even a seemingly trauma-free childhood can create hidden wounds that shape adult behavior and relationships. The impact of emotionally unavailable parenting on future romantic patterns and the development of codependency. How traditional healing methods like mindset work and NLP often fall short without addressing the body and nervous system. What it means to live in your head versus being fully embodied. The difference between awareness and actual healing. What it's like to rebuild your life guided by intuition instead of external validation or cultural expectations. How working at the Chopra Center supported Anat's reconnection with herself through meditation and holistic practices. Why transformation can feel like walking through fire and why it's worth every uncomfortable step. The origin story of Training Camp for the Soul and how Anat turned her healing into a powerful business. Emotional resilience and nervous system capacity are important in being an effective coach or healer. How Anat's Mastery Certification Program equips coaches with more than tools. Why you can't just coach from your own healing story and what makes a sustainable coaching method. Connect with Anat Peri Training Camp for the Soul Connect with Anjel B.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis continue the season 5 series on the Mathematics Teaching Practices from NCTM's Principles to Actions, celebrating its 10th anniversary. This month's practice is “Establish Mathematics Goals to Focus Learning.” This is defined as follows:Effective teaching of mathematics establishes clear goals for the mathematics that students are learning, situates goals within learning progressions, and uses the goals to guide instructional decisions. In today's conversation, our hosts unpack the key components of this principle. First, they discuss how learning goals, focused on important mathematical understandings, differ from procedural, process goals, which may include skills and procedures that are not directly connected to the underlying mathematical concepts. Next, the discussion turns to situating goals within a learning progression, which helps teachers stay focused on what is relevant to their grade level or course, and provides a venue for students to be active in their progress toward learning. Finally, effective mathematics goals guide instructional decisions, helping educators know which tangents to explore and which are distractions from the intended learning. We hope you enjoy the conversation, and that it extends your thinking on mathematics goals for learning. Additional referenced content includes:·       NCTM's Principles to Actions·       NCTM's Taking Action series for grades K-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12·       NCTM's myNCTM forums (membership required).·       How learning goals serve as a guide – NCTM Teaching Children Mathematics blog post·       Rachel Harrington's appearance on the Math Learning Center podcast/blog discussing mathematical goals Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

I share personal thoughts and feelings about what it takes to overcome doubt and fear. I am vulnerable with where I've been and am currently at in certain areas of my life.

Daily Study: In our entrepreneurial culture, when we want results, our go-to catchphrase is “take massive action.” However, in many cases, the best course of action to experience results is to take no action and just immerse ourselves in the word of God. This is especially true when you find yourself frequently worried and frustrated.

Still waiting for a sign to start that thing God put on your heart? This episode is your wake-up call. In today's short but fiery pep talk, I'm sharing what I wish someone would've told me years ago:

Could your deepest challenges hold the key to unlocking your ultimate purpose and securing the recognition you deserve? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Dana Cox, who has been bringing pieces together and providing level-headed, calm solutions her entire life. Imagine transforming unexpected career shifts into powerful springboards, leveraging decades of hard-won experience not just for personal growth, but to command your true market value and help others rise.  This isn't just about overcoming obstacles; it's about redefining success on your terms, understanding the profound importance of self-investment, and recognizing that the power you need to achieve your vision is already within you.  Prepare to be inspired by a journey from global executive to empowering coach, revealing that the best bet you can ever make is boldly choosing to invest in and champion yourself, leading to returns far richer than just financial gain. What You Will Learn: How an unexpected corporate exit can serve as a catalyst for pursuing a long-held aspiration. The importance of identifying and stepping into the parts of your corporate work you loved most. Encouragement for those facing unexpected career changes. Why betting on yourself is considered the best investment. If you expect others to invest in you, you must be willing to invest in yourself first. Understanding that entrepreneurs are also susceptible to burnout and how recognizing the signs early can help prevent a full tailspin. Why financial literacy is critically important to understand your financial situation, manage resources, and make informed decisions for entrepreneurial success. Dana's focus on women's empowerment and working with organizations to create thriving cultures. Validation that women are often underpaid in the marketplace and tend to undercharge as entrepreneurs.

Connect with Lauryn: https://www.lauryn-williams.com/ Student Loan Planner: https://www.studentloanplanner.com/ In this episode, T.J. van Gerven and Lauryn Williams discuss the complexities of managing student loan debt, including public service loan forgiveness, income-driven repayment plans, and the implications of recent policy changes. Lauryn shares her personal journey from being an Olympian to becoming a financial planner, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's unique financial situation. The conversation covers various strategies for managing student loans, the risks of refinancing, and the impact of marital status on repayment plans. Listeners are encouraged to take proactive steps in their financial planning to optimize their student loan situations. Takeaways Lauryn's journey from athlete to financial planner highlights the importance of financial literacy. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) requires specific employment and payment criteria. Income-driven repayment plans can significantly reduce monthly payments based on income. Refinancing student loans can eliminate federal protections and benefits. Married couples should consider filing separately to optimize student loan payments. Tax implications of student loan forgiveness can be substantial and should be planned for. Understanding the different types of student loans is crucial for effective management. Proactive financial planning can lead to significant long-term benefits. Consulting with a financial advisor can provide personalized strategies for student loan management. Staying informed about policy changes is essential for effective financial planning.

That familiar tightness in your chest, the flood of worst-case scenarios, the overwhelm that hits precisely when you're contemplating a bold move—we've all been there. But what if the fear that's keeping you stuck isn't actually a warning to stop, but a signpost pointing toward what matters most?In this powerful exploration of fear and action, I unpack why we often misinterpret fear as a red light when it's actually more like a blinking yellow—a signal that something important lies ahead. Your nervous system is simply doing its job by alerting you to unfamiliar territory. This fear doesn't mean you're not ready; paradoxically, it often means exactly the opposite.I break down three insidious lies your brain tells you when you're scared: that you need confidence before action (when confidence actually comes from action), that making changes means losing everything you've worked for (when alignment often leads to greater productivity), and that other people are simply braver than you (when they're merely more practiced at moving through fear). These myths keep high achievers stuck in patterns that drain their energy without moving them forward.The heart of this episode offers three practical tools you can implement immediately: the 90-Day Rule to filter what truly deserves your attention, Tiny Brave Moves to build momentum without overwhelming yourself, and Reverse Visualization to light a fire under you when fear feels paralyzing. These aren't theoretical concepts—they're battle-tested strategies for building the courage muscle over time.Your balance requires your boldness. It's not about being reckless or hustling harder—it's about trusting yourself enough to take action despite the butterflies. What brave move are you avoiding? Share it with me on Instagram or email me at jenn@jenncody.com—I'd love to celebrate your courage and hear how you feel on the other side of that action!Thanks for listening! Connect With Me:

Today's not your typical polished podcast episode. It's real, raw, and unfiltered—because that's what I needed, and maybe you do too.I recorded this right from my couch while processing a really tough day. My motivation was gone, my heart was heavy, and I was spiraling in overthinking. Then I cracked open Lessons for Living by Phil Stutz and felt seen. So I'm bringing three of the tools from that book straight to you:Speed: Why taking quick, messy action (even if you fail) is better than overthinking your way into success.Density: How doing more imperfect things can build momentum and confidence faster than doing one “perfect” thing.Nightly Review: A 10-minute reflection that helps you stay grounded and on purpose—even when everything feels like too much.I also open up about where I've been emotionally, how I've lost and rebuilt motivation, and what it's really like when the inner critic gets loud. You'll hear the tears, the laughter, and maybe see yourself in this story too.So cozy up. We're not fixing everything today—we're just showing up.

Simon looks at the concept of taking massive action in property investing and how to overcome procrastination. He introduces the "massive success formula," which emphasises the importance of combining massive action, doing the right stuff, and consistency to achieve significant success in real estate. Simon outlines key steps for aspiring investors, such as finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and building a network. He also shares valuable resources, including Mel Robbins' "The 5 Second Rule" and Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog," to help listeners take immediate action and tackle their most challenging tasks. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve success in property investing, it's crucial to take massive action, which includes finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and following up on potential deals. Procrastination can hinder progress. Utilising techniques like Mel Robbins' "5 Second Rule" can help prompt immediate action on opportunities instead of delaying them. Attending networking events and connecting with others in the property industry is essential. Building relationships can lead to potential partnerships and funding opportunities. Books like "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy can provide strategies for managing tasks and prioritising actions that lead to success in property investing. Regularly assess what actions you need to take and what activities may be holding you back. Creating a "don't do" list can help identify unproductive habits that need to be eliminated. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to achieve huge success, there are three things you need to do and you need to do them together." "Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of massive action." "The more action you take, the better results you get." "If you do that frog, that difficult task, everything else on your list seems easy in comparison." "You need people to know you, like you, and trust you, and that only comes with time."

In this episode, Sam exposes the myth that confidence is something you're born with. Instead, she reveals how true, unfuckwithable confidence is built through consistent, bold action. For listeners who are tired of self-doubt and ready to take charge, this episode offers practical strategies to crush negativity and build confidence one step at a time. Key Points: The Confidence Myth: Sam explains that confidence isn't innate. Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and societal conditioning hold people back from reaching their full potential. Action Over Waiting: She challenges the notion of waiting until you “feel confident” before taking action, emphasizing that every bold step—whether it's hitting the gym, posting online, or speaking up—builds your confidence muscles. Practical Strategies: Sam shares actionable tips, such as using power poses, practicing affirmations, and celebrating small wins to overcome self-doubt and build unshakable confidence. Neuroplasticity & Mindset: She discusses how rewiring the brain through consistent action can shift limiting beliefs and ignite unbreakable self-trust. Borrowing Belief:Sam introduces the idea of borrowing belief from others—whether it's a supportive mentor, a trusted friend, or even your dog—reminding you that you are more capable than you think.
