Have you ever had someone believe in you before you fully believed in yourself?For me, that person was my mentor, Susan.I first discovered Susan on Clubhouse while I was building Social Curator and trying to figure out the world of SaaS. After months of listening to her advice, I finally worked up the courage to ask her a question—and what she shared helped me raise $555,000 in less than an hour.But the money isn't what changed my life. Her belief in me did.In this episode, I'm sharing the business lessons Susan taught me about focusing on the plan instead of constantly reacting to problems, deciding what to keep, delegate, or let go, and why diluted focus creates diluted results.And then? EXECUTE.Because ideas and strategies are great, but they don't change a business until we act on them.This episode is also much more personal. I share what happened when Susan unexpectedly entered palliative care and the incredible gift of getting to tell her—in person—how profoundly her mentorship changed my life.Friend, this episode is about business, but it's also about something bigger: Tell people what they mean to you. Use what they taught you. And pass it forward.Click play to hear the lessons from one of the greatest mentors I've ever had—and why I believe her impact doesn't stop with me.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why having someone believe in you can completely change your trajectory[00:56] How I accidentally found the mentor who would transform my business[01:48] How one piece of Susan's advice helped me raise $555,000 in under an hour[03:22] Why founders need to give themselves credit for what's already working[05:20] How to stop reacting to problems and build around your 12-month plan[06:29] How to decide what to keep, delegate, or completely let go[07:14] Why execution matters more than another great idea or strategy[32:05] Why I finally told my mentor exactly what her belief in me meantListen to Related Episodes:Strategies that Have Transformed My Business with (My Coach) Susan SierotaEavesdrop on a Private Call with Me and My Business MentorBusiness Questions Answered: Roundtable Discussion with Brilliant and Successful Women

Wendy Mariko Johnson farms in Floyd County, Iowa, near Charles City. She grew up on an Iowa farm, left at 18 in the 1990s for an 18-year career in the Los Angeles fashion industry, and returned in 2010 with her husband Johnny Rafkin. Having watched farms close across Iowa in the 1980s, she came back determined to follow the three things that carried her parents through that era: diversification, low cost of production, and little to no debt. Today Wendy runs two businesses from the same land. Jóia Food & Fiber Farm carries 160 ewes, 25 cows and their calves, plus hogs, chickens, and ducks across roughly 130 certified organic acres, alongside 15 acres of Kernza and more than 6,000 trees planted over the past decade. Jóia Sleep turns the farm's wool into comforters, mattress toppers, and pillows. She also co-manages Center View Farms, her family's thousand-acre commodity operation, and serves as vice president of the Perennial Promise Growers Cooperative, co-founder of 99 Counties, and chair of Iowa's USDA Farm Service Agency state committee. Her current question is how to take what she has proven on 130 acres and extend it across a thousand. In this episode, John and Wendy discuss: What carried her parents through the 1980s farm crisis, and why it still applies How direct marketing made her a price maker instead of a price taker Why the thousand-acre corn and soybean farm is becoming obsolete How Kernza thrived through a 10-inch drought year and a 12-inch rain month Why she hires custom operators instead of owning machinery What it would take to treat agrarian labor like the skilled trades Whether the next generation wants land ownership or just land access Why she would rather be paid on practice and nutrition than on yield Four years of silvopasture planted over field tile Additional ResourcesTo listen to the podcast episode featuring Austin Unruh on integrating trees into working pastures, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/podcast/episode-97-integrating-trees-into-working-pastures-with-austin-unruh/ To learn more about Jóia Food & Fiber Farm, please visit: https://www.joiafoodfarm.com/ To learn more about Jóia Sleep, please visit: https://www.joiasleep.com/ To learn more about 99 Counties, please visit: https://99counties.com/ To learn more about the Perennial Promise Growers' Cooperative, please visit: https://perennialpromise.com/ Learn more about AEA's regenerative programs and products: https://www.advancingecoag.com About John KempfJohn Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Everyone is talking about building a village right now. It's on social media, in parenting forums, in wellness content, in the conversations we have when we're exhausted and lonely and wondering why support feels so hard to find.But how many of us have actually experienced a REAL village? Today's guest, Tom Karrel, has spent a lot of time thinking about it.Tom is the author of The Lost Art of Random Conversations, and he has more than 10,000 hours of group facilitation experience across 45 countries. He also spent years living and working in Uganda, including in rural village communities where the pace, expectations, and social fabric look very different from the way many of us live in the U.S.In this episode, Tom and I talk about what it felt like to enter a 350-person Ugandan village as an outsider, how learning to greet people in the local language became a bridge, and why “going first” is often the only way into connection.We also talk about time, uncertainty, social trust, Ring doorbells, random conversations, Seattle sidewalks, Mexican fishermen, and what it means to put your phone away long enough to notice the person standing in front of you.In this episode you'll hear about:How being visibly different forced Tom to practice vulnerability, humility, and going first over and over againWhat living in a 350-person village taught Tom about presence, schedules, and the way we prioritize tasks vs. peopleWhy the interruptions we avoid might be the exact moments that make life feel more connectedWhat the “Seattle Freeze” has to do with social trust, small risks, and choosing to smile at strangers anywayWhy fumbling through a new language in a Ugandan village is not that different from trying to make friends at a gymResources & LinksCheck out Tom's book, The Lost Art of Random Conversations and learn more about him on his website.Like what you hear?

Fall is here, the holidays are coming, and while this season can be exciting and cozy, it can also bring grief, pressure, and a lot of complicated emotions. In this deeply personal episode of Love Yourself Thin, Dara shares three lessons she learned after her dad passed away this summer following years of dementia. Her dad's death brought up questions about fear, stress, health, family traditions, and what it really means to create a life you're proud of. Dara talks about: Why fear can grow when we don't understand what we're actually facing What watching her dad live with dementia taught her about stress and taking care of yourself Why too much information can leave you feeling overwhelmed instead of empowered How to decide whose advice you trust when there is so much conflicting health and weight loss information The importance of questioning the rules you've always been told to follow What her dad's life taught her about failure, rejection, courage, and pursuing your own path Why you don't have to wait until you lose weight to enjoy your life How to create new holiday traditions after losing someone you love What you want to be remembered for—and whether you're living that way today The importance of passing your knowledge, traditions, and skills on to the next generation Dara also reflects on writing her dad's eulogy and what she learned from hearing her daughter describe what she hopes to be remembered for. As the holidays approach, Dara invites you to ask yourself: What do I actually want from this season? What do I want from my life? What do I want people to remember about me? And perhaps most importantly: Why am I waiting to start living the life I want? You don't have to become a different person before you're allowed to enjoy your life. You can start now, in the body you're in, with the life you have today. If you're ready for support understanding what's really keeping you from reaching your goals, Dara also offers a free 25-minute call to help you get clarity on what's going on and whether coaching could be the right fit for you. Book your call HERE. Listen now and give yourself some time to think about what you want to carry forward—and what you're ready to leave behind.   For more on dementia and how to prevent it, watch this interview with Louisa Nicola.

Who was Polycarp, and what did this disciple of the apostle John teach about Christianity? Explore Polycarp of Smyrna's life, his Letter to the Philippians, and his martyrdom—and discover how the early church passed the apostles' teaching to the next generation.In this video, we examine Polycarp's teaching on salvation by grace, the authority of Scripture, Jesus' true humanity, Christ bearing our sins, and the character of church leaders. We also explore his relationship to the Bishop of Rome, his references to elders and deacons, and his defense of the Christian faith against false teaching.Polycarp's story brings church history into our own lives: Are we faithfully passing on the gospel? Are we making disciples? And will we remain faithful to Jesus when following Him comes at a cost?Watch through the end as we consider persecution in the Roman Empire and Polycarp's refusal to deny Christ.What stands out most to you about Polycarp's life or teaching?

What if building a healthy body looked completely different than what the world has taught you? For years, we thought getting healthy meant trying to lose weight, eating perfectly, exercising more, and just being more disciplined. But the closer we've grown to God, the more He's changed the way we think about weight loss, food, exercise, body image, and rest. In this episode, we're sharing 5 things God has taught us about building a healthy body—from why smaller doesn't always mean healthier to how we approach high protein eating, strength training, workout consistency, healthy eating, meal prep, stress, and recovery without becoming obsessed. Whether you're trying to lose weight, build healthier habits, or feel overwhelmed by trends like GLP-1s, this episode will help you step away from what the world says health should look like and start caring for the body God gave you. *********************************

What if the biggest thing getting in the way of your ability to lose weight isn't your food plan—but your mindset? After a VERY competitive pickleball game with my husband, I had one of those moments where I could feel my attitude going downhill…and I let it. Then Romans 8 hit me differently: I don't have to follow every feeling. And friend, neither do you. If you're trying to lose weight but keep getting pulled into thoughts like, "I already messed up," "Nothing is working," "I'll start again Monday," or "I hate how my body looks," your mindset may be driving more of your decisions than you realize. In this episode, we're talking about renewing your mind, breaking all-or-nothing patterns, handling body frustration, and learning how to make the next supportive choice even when you don't feel motivated. Because learning how to lose weight in midlife isn't about perfection. It's about building a mindset that helps you keep going. Ready to get serious about stubborn belly fat?

Sexual communication isn't a sign that something is wrong—it's how sex gets better. When your partner says “slow down,” “stay right there,” or asks for something different, they aren't rejecting you. They're giving you the roadmap to what feels good for them right now. In this episode, I'm talking about how to create the safety to give and receive direction during sex without anyone getting defensive, embarrassed, or shutting down. We'll explore why learning basic anatomy is only the beginning, how bodies and desires change over time, and why staying curious is the real secret to being a great lover. If you want more connected, responsive, and satisfying sex, this episode is for you. ABOUT EMILY: Emily Morse is a Doctor of Human Sexuality, author and host of the #1 rated Sex with Emily podcast.

You can find Julie's book here:https://www.amazon.com/Maxs-Last-Journey-Inspirational-Becoming-ebook/dp/B0G8RPB6SXWhat can an aging dog's final chapter teach us about self-worth, resilience, and choosing life over simply accepting the inevitable? In this heartwarming and moving episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Dr. Julie Powell Hall to explore her debut book—a true story following Max, an aging dog whose declining health threatened to dim his once-bright spirit, and the family who chose love, adventure, and a cross-country journey instead of simply waiting for the end.Dr. Hall shares how Max's story became more than a tribute to a beloved dog—it became a profound lesson in resilience, compassion, and self-esteem, showing how movement, change, and companionship have the power to transform not just a final chapter, but an entire outlook on life. This conversation explores what we can learn about our own worth and spirit from the way animals teach us to live fully, right up until the end.

Eight years ago, two women who had just gone alcohol-free pointed themselves at opposite walls of an apartment, clipped on lapel mics they could barely hear themselves through, and recorded the first episode of Euphoric the podcast. I couldn't have told you then what this show would become. 348 episodes later, I wanted to sit down and talk about what all of these conversations have actually taught me about transformation. Because when you've watched hundreds of women go from one version of themselves to another, patterns start to emerge, and they're not what most people expect. IN THIS EPISODE:  The cringe origin story of episode one, and why I'm grateful it exists What I've noticed about the guests who create the biggest shifts in the people listening Why being alcohol-free might make you the most powerful force in the room, and what happens when you're surrounded by other women who are too The neurological window that opens when you go alcohol-free and why most people don't know it's closing What Carl Jung's concept of individuation has to do with why some people feel truly fulfilled by their work and others don't Why the most fulfilling work on the planet might be the same work, no matter what industry you're in An honest reflection on a year that has been both the hardest and most clarifying of my career What's changing at Euphoric, and what's coming next

Sometimes rediscovering yourself looks deep and meaningful. And sometimes it looks like putting on leopard-print pants, sweating through your armpits, and walking down a runway.

20 Years in Corporate America: What Small Business Gets Wrong About AI & Strategy | John SullivanJohn Sullivan spent 20 years in Corporate America as a project manager and leader of project managers, eventually reaching the vice president level and managing a project management office. His experience crossed multiple industries and included private equity, mergers and acquisitions integration, and standing up more than 25 M&A subsidiaries.Now John is building Muse Advisory Services in West Palm Beach and exploring how the strategy, project management, and change management principles used by major corporations can help entrepreneurs and communities execute their own ideas.In this episode of Diversified Game, we get into why small businesses struggle with planning and execution, how AI is lowering barriers to entry, why entrepreneurs should focus on constraints instead of endless task lists, and why human judgment and “taste” may become even more valuable as AI becomes more powerful.John also explains why experienced project managers should not let certifications become an excuse not to start, his evolving view of the PMP, why he wants to build an AI-native business, and his plans for a newsletter he says he wants to make “the dopest newsletter ever created.”We also discuss education, entrepreneurship, community, change management, career reinvention, AI, project management, and what people should be thinking about as technology changes the way we work.GUEST:John SullivanMuse Advisory ServicesWebsite:www.museadvise.comEmail:john@museadvise.comLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.Please visit my website to get more information:http://diversifiedgame.com/SUBSCRIBE:https://www.youtube.com/@DiversifiedGamePodcast/?sub_confirmation=1SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.patreon.com/profile?u=15553364FACEBOOK:https://web.facebook.com/GAMEDIVERSIFIED/X:https://x.com/gamediversifiedLINKEDIN:https://www.linkedin.com/company/gamediversifiedBUSINESS INQUIRIES:KELLEN@COLEMANPRFIRM.COMSUGGESTED VIDEOS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBJSpSxBBuAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmxmzwnhZ3whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQrzgwornbIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3PsTkobKKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnqZniYw-0kRELATED PHRASES:John Sullivan, Muse Advisory Services, small business strategy, AI for entrepreneurs, artificial intelligence and business, project management, change management, PMP certification, corporate America, entrepreneurship, business planning, AI native business, mergers and acquisitions, business strategy, small business growth, career reinvention, West Palm Beach entrepreneur, Diversified Game Podcast#JohnSullivan #MuseAdvisoryServices #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ProjectManagement #ChangeManagement #BusinessStrategy #DiversifiedGameDGP&x%

Dr. Felecia Froe opens this solo episode with a confession that has nothing to do with money: she has a personal trainer, and she has absolutely no idea what she's doing at the gym. She just shows up, does what he says, and leaves sweaty. That worked fine until Tony (my trainer) announces he's going on vacation, and Felecia realizes her entire fitness "plan" lives in his head, not hers. That small panic cracks open a much bigger question: how many women are doing the exact same thing with their money?  In this episode, Felecia connects her gym epiphany to a striking UBS statistic about married women and financial decision-making, then walks through the difference between delegating and abdicating, introduces her "vanish test" for figuring out where you actually stand, and gives you three simple questions to start asking whoever manages your money, whether that's a spouse, an advisor, or "my guy." It's not a call to fire your professionals. It's a call to stop being a passenger in your own financial life. 00:00 – The Trainer Confession 04:24 – Delegating vs. Abdicating 06:11 – The Vanish Test 08:09 – The "My Guy Handles That" Investor 09:56 – What Felecia Actually Did 11:16 – Free Guide & Call to Action   You've worked hard to build your career.

To celebrate the 50th episode of The Sync Leadership Lab, host Suken switches into the guest seat as his wife, Hetal Jain, turns the tables and asks the questions. Suken reflects on what he has learned through 50 conversations with his guests, why he took a chance on creating the podcast, and what he is most proud of along the way. At the heart of the conversation is a lesson that has continued to shape his own leadership journey: getting comfortable doing the uncomfortable.This special episode pulls back the curtain on the person behind the podcast, including Suken's winding professional journey and the transitions that ultimately led him from corporate life to entrepreneurship. He shares how a layoff became a catalyst for creating the Sync Leadership Lab, what he has learned from building a business, and how adaptability has been a constant throughout his career. Suken also talks about his lifelong passion for sports and the athletes who have influenced his leadership perspective, including Kobe Bryant and his “Mamba Mentality” and Muhammad Ali's ability to pair confidence with kindness. Hetal asks Suken some hard-hitting questions submitted by listeners before ending the episode with a special twist on the Leadership Corner.Today's celebratory 50th episode offers a reminder that growth often happens when you are willing to step outside your comfort zone. Suken's journey highlights the value of embracing change and staying adaptable, being willing to take a chance before you have everything figured out, and how with a wonderful support system like his wife, Hetal, and their children, dreams can become reality. And perhaps the biggest lesson from 50 episodes is that leadership is not about having all the answers…it's about staying true to who you are, opening your mind to possibilities and growth, and being willing to learn alongside the people you lead.Follow Suken on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukenjain/Email Suken at: suken@synergysyncsolutions.comSynergy Sync Solutions Website: https://www.synergysyncsolutions.com/This episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change.

Thirty-five years into dentistry, Dr. Abdi Sameni isn't thinking much about slowing down. He's still asking what he can learn next. Sameni joins Drs. Pam Maragliano and Brian Nový for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when dentists remain students of their profession. They explore why some of the most interesting dental education is happening outside the usual circles, how communities such as bioemulation connect clinicians around the world, and why mentorship can change the trajectory of a career. But the conversation also gets clinical: Is biomimetic dentistry always the right answer? Are dentists intervening too late—or sometimes doing too much? Sameni makes the case for respecting the tooth at every stage of life, detecting disease before conventional treatment becomes necessary, and choosing treatment for the patient in front of you rather than following a clinical ideology. Plus: why a Class II composite can still be worth traveling to learn, the surprisingly important problem of orthodontic retention, and what keeps dentistry interesting after decades in practice.

In the monthly “Resilient Youth” series, therapist Frank Clayton explores how young people can build habits of gratitude, optimism and resilience while learning to notice what's going right.

What if the thing that you keep calling procrastination, lack of confidence or self-sabotage isn't quite what you think it is? What if one part of you desperately wants the exhibition, the opportunity, or success, while another part is trying just as hard to keep you safe? And what happens to our creativity when we're also carrying grief, uncertainty, difficult relationships, and everything that's happened to us before, as well as everything happening in the world around us right now? I recently spent four days in Oxford thinking exactly about these questions at a conference on trauma, healing the mind, the body, and the spirit. I came home thinking how much of this connects to the challenges that I see creatives wrestling with every single day.  So, in this episode, I want to talk about agency - the different parts of ourselves that can want completely contradictory things; grief and trust; how we protect our attention without turning away from the world; why spirituality is still a dirty word in the art world; and why the problem that you think you might need to solve might only be the visible part of something much bigger. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you're procrastinating, stuck on pricing, or avoiding galleries, it may not be a simple confidence problem. The visible snag could be connected to exhaustion, grief, old hurts, or the conditions you're working in. Your creative block may be tied to loss, not just bereavement. Maybe losing a community, security, or the person you thought you'd become. Naming what you're grieving can help make sense of what feels stuck. You can care about what's happening in the world without taking in every update. Managing your inputs isn't indifference - it enables you to remain present and useful for longer. Agency doesn't mean carrying the whole art world on your shoulders. Agency is saying this isn't all within your control, so let's identify what is. You don't have to become fearless to make work or put yourself out there. Confidence can mean taking a step without knowing how it'll go and trusting yourself to meet what comes next. BEST MOMENTS "The bit of you that's frightened doesn't disappear because you tell it to be quiet. It just keeps tapping you on the shoulder, and sometimes it gets even louder.” “Sometimes, what we're grieving is a version of ourselves.” “Maybe confidence is I don't know what's going to happen, but I trust myself enough to find out.” HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What happens when the woman who has always been able to handle everything suddenly realizes her body won't let her operate that way anymore? In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with functional diagnostic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, bestselling author, and women's health educator Jenn Pike for a deeply personal conversation about the capacity shift that can happen in perimenopause. Jenn shares the subtle signs she noticed in her late 30s: alcohol suddenly disrupting her sleep, slower workout recovery, increased soreness, less patience, and a shorter emotional fuse. Eventually, she realized she wasn't simply stressed. Her body needed her to operate differently. They unpack what happened when Jenn stopped forcing intense workouts, began respecting her changing energy, reduced her workload, asked for help, and started saying no, even when disappointing people felt uncomfortable. But this conversation goes even deeper into the identity so many high-functioning women carry: “I've got this. I don't need help.” Listen now to discover why perimenopause may be an invitation to protect your energy, trust your body, and stop treating exhaustion as the price of a full life. JENN PIKE Jenn Pike is a functional diagnostic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, bestselling author, and women's health educator who has spent years helping women in perimenopause and menopause better understand their hormones and bodies. She is also the host of The Simplicity Sessions podcast. In this conversation, Jenn shares her own experience of entering perimenopause in her late 30s and how it forced her to rethink exercise, work, motherhood, boundaries, identity, and the belief that she always had to be the one who could handle everything. IN THIS EPISODE The subtle perimenopause signs Jenn started noticing before age 40 Why intense workouts stopped feeling good and how she changed her training What overstimulation and a shorter emotional fuse revealed about her capacity How overcommitment and constantly being needed contributed to burnout Why Jenn had to dramatically rethink how much she could put on her calendar Learning to ask for help, delegate, and disappoint people without falling apart Why perimenopause can bring your deepest patterns around productivity and self-worth back up for review How Jenn moved from being “smart” to feeling wiser, calmer, and more trusting of herself QUOTES “The nutrient is actually doing less, and figuring out how to do less better.” “I taught people to expect that of me.” “I don't have to be that person to be loved.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution: https://drmariza.com/book Join my brand new Substack: for the woman everyone depends on who is wondering why everything feels harder in midlife >> https://drmariza.substack.com/ The Simplicity Sessions Podcast: https://jennpike.com/podcast/ Jenn Pike Website https://jennpike.com/ Jenn Pike Instagram RELATED EPISODES  776: What Changes When Your Body Can't Keep Pushing Like It Used To?

In this episode, Bill sits down with Rob Maaddi, senior NFL writer for the Associated Press and host of Faith on the Field, who partied with the athletes he covered and was divorced by 30, empty, broke and broken. After 36 straight days of drinking, a woman who told him she wasn't meant for him walked him to the front of Times Square Church. Today he plays softball in prison yards with the Deacons Prison Ministry, where an inmate who threatened to shank him came back to thank him. That opens a bigger conversation about where purpose comes from: why Super Bowl champions ask "now what" two days after the parade, why a pastor told him to take Jesus to his marketplace instead of quitting the AP, and what John Harbaugh's 95-5 rule teaches anyone raising kids.

Jeff Krasno spent years driving his family through the most terrifying stretch of I-95 there is: the dark part after New Haven. His daughter remembers it as the safest she ever felt.In this episode, Jeff recounts the family's white-knuckle night drives to a Connecticut cottage — deer carcasses, wobbly 18-wheelers, and a car full of sleeping kids lulled out by Schuyler's New Yorker readings — and the moment nearly 20 years later when his daughter's heartfelt dinner-table tribute gets undercut by his own internal monologue about exactly how he was driving.This is the sixteenth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

Most transformations don't transform all that much. They cost a lot of money, they suck a huge amount of the organisation's time and energy, and no one really checks to see if the benefits were ever delivered.If you're not on the executive team, the whole thing just happens to you. But in reality, you're not as powerless as you might think.In this episode, I dig into what transformation really is, why so few programs actually earn that label and, most importantly, why so many transformations fail.I unpack a recent cover story from Harvard Business Review on the false alignment trap, which provides a really useful starting point for the discussion; I then add five more common reasons for transformation disasters; and I finish with three practical ways to get a hand on the wheel when transformation is being done to you.

Why does the passion fade after the wedding, the kids, or perimenopause, and what can you actually do about it?I sit down with Cassie, a pediatric occupational therapist and PhD fellow who teaches child development and attachment theory. She's also a high-libido woman with ADHD, so she knows this from both sides. We get into the brain chemistry behind desire, why "openness" may be the most important trait to look for in a partner, how church and family shape a woman's sexuality, weight and hormones, perimenopause, scheduled vs. spontaneous sex, and why getting moving together is the first step.Follow Cassie on X: https://x.com/futuredrsassyJoin the free Intimacy Lab group: https://facebook.com/groups/intimacylab

Five years. 232 episodes. More than 80,000 downloads. And a frankly alarming number of hours spent talking to myself into a microphone. When I started this podcast after my sister essentially told me to stop talking about it and just bloody do it, I had absolutely no idea I'd still be here five years later. So for this episode, I wanted to do something a little different and reflect on what showing up almost every week for five years has actually taught me about consistency.Because I don't think consistency comes from being endlessly motivated or having superhuman discipline. For me, it's come from making the podcast an essential part of my business, building a team around it and creating a process simple enough that I can still get an episode out when it's 7pm on a Friday and my brain has basically clocked off for the weekend. I'm sharing what has made this one of the most consistent things I've ever done and why having other people invested in getting your work out into the world can make such a difference.I'm also talking about why consistency absolutely does not mean doing the same thing forever. This podcast has changed names, topics and formats. I've interviewed loads of guests, stopped interviewing guests, experimented with longer episodes, simplified everything again and occasionally released episodes where the sound was a bit shit because the episode itself was worth hearing. Five years gives you a lot of evidence that you're allowed to experiment, change your mind and get things wrong without abandoning the thing altogether.And perhaps most importantly, doing this every week has made me a much better communicator. Recording yourself forces you to get comfortable hearing your own voice, articulate what you actually think and keep going through the inevitable moments where you feel like a total dork. I'm definitely not perfect at it (this particular recording contains plenty of evidence), but I've learned that commitment matters far more than waiting until you can do something flawlessly.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat five years and 232 episodes have taught me about staying consistentWhy making something an essential rather than a negotiable changes how you show upHow having a team has helped me keep publishing every weekWhy consistency doesn't mean sticking rigidly to the same formatWhat I've learned from experimenting with guests, episode lengths and different stylesWhy simplifying the podcast made it easier to sustainHow podcasting has made me a stronger speaker and communicatorThe simple system I use to plan and produce each episodeWhat I'm planning for year six of Sold Out Offers“We don't learn if we don't try things.”Mentioned in this episode:Join DreamiumIf your offers don't quite make sense together or feel aligned with where your business is heading, you probably need an offer ecosystem.

What does it mean to grow up Black and Mormon in an overwhelmingly white church?In Part One of our conversation with Mariama Nadworna, she shares her story of growing up in Sierra Leone before moving to the UK as a child. When her mother began investigating Mormonism, Mariama's family eventually went “all in” on the church, embracing its teachings and community as they adjusted to life in a new country.Mariama describes how her Mormon upbringing shaped the way she understood race, worthiness, obedience, and her own identity. She also discusses growing up Black in predominantly white Mormon spaces, learning to navigate the world “from the outside in,” and feeling pressure to be exceptional in order to prove herself. We explore the church's historical teachings about race, including the “Curse of Cain,” interracial marriage, and the priesthood ban, as well as the ways these teachings affected her understanding of her own worth.Mariama also reflects on her mission, dating, education, and the ways her African heritage and spirituality shaped her relationship with Mormonism. This episode ultimately begs the question: What happens when the community you seek belonging in will not accept you for who you truly are?___________________Show NotesYouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

In this episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris Vallotton sits down with his wife, Kathy, for an honest and humorous conversation about the lessons they've learned through 51 years of marriage. They talk about how dating has changed, why love has to become more than a feeling, and how commitment carries a relationship through difficult seasons. Kris and Kathy also open up about losing nearly everything financially, navigating conflict without turning against each other, and what they learned raising their children along the way.

Danny Meyer has built some of the most beloved and enduring restaurants in the US. The “secret sauce” behind Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, Shake Shack, and more? How diners feel when they walk in the door.  His new book, What Could Possibly Go Right, is about a common obstacle in business. How do you grow without losing the thing that made people love you in the first place? Danny joins Jessi in the studio to talk about everything he's learned in four decades of building businesses around hospitality, including how to scale a feeling. In this episode, Jessi and Danny discuss: The assumption Danny held at 30 that he has since debunked Why culture is what happens when you're not in the room, and how to build it so it endures The 49/51 rule: why the job is only half of what Danny is actually hiring for The six emotional skills that make up a high HQ (hospitality quotient), and why "soft skills" is one of Danny's least favorite phrases The interview questions Danny uses to reveal character, including one that stops almost everyone cold The jigsaw puzzle theory: why the worst hiring mistakes happen when you keep jiggling a piece that doesn't fit Why Danny's biggest leadership mistakes came from hanging on too long: to people, to businesses, to deals How to get to "no" faster, and why a quick, honest no is kinder than a slow one The five-year, no-tipping experiment at Union Square Hospitality Group: what worked, what didn't, why the pandemic ended it and what Danny replaced it with What Danny is still learning, and why he looks to younger people to teach it to him Follow Danny Meyer and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn. RSVP here for a special edition of Office Hours this Wednesday at 3pm EST. We'll be discussing how we might be able to get what we need from work if jobs disappear, inspired by this micro-documentary from the Hello Monday team.

This is episode two of the Money and Human Design series, and today is all about your Human Design Strategy, the most powerful and most overlooked key to making money in alignment with who you are. You've been taught to go outside yourself for the right money strategy, to copy the expert, the mentor, the guru. The truth is the strategy you're looking for is already inside you, and in Human Design it's literally called your strategy.I break down what strategy actually is, why your mind keeps talking you out of following it, and exactly how it works for each type: initiate and inform for Manifestors, respond for Generators, respond and inform for Manifesting Generators, wait for the invitation for Projectors, and wait a lunar cycle for Reflectors. Strategy and authority are your two golden bullets, and this episode is where you learn to read the money map no one ever taught you to read.What You'll Learn:What your Human Design strategy actually is, and why it's the money map no one taught you to readThe strategy for each of the types, and how each one becomes magnetic to moneyWhy following your strategy can feel unsafe, and how to drop out of your head and into your bodyWhy strategy is a felt experience you can already find evidence of in your pastHow strategy and authority work together as your simplest path to wealth (authority is next episode)Chapters:00:00 — The Money and Human Design series continues: did you take imperfect action?02:21 — Why Human Design gets overcomplicated, and why you don't need the detail04:50 — The strategy you're searching for is already inside you06:41 — Why following your strategy feels unsafe: conditioning and the nervous system07:58 — Strategy is a felt experience, not a thought14:02 — Your strategy is the money map no one taught you to read15:20 — Manifestors: initiate and inform19:38 — Generators: respond to what lights you up26:20 — Manifesting Generators: respond and inform28:31 — Projectors: wait for the invitation, and why self-worth is the money move35:43 — Reflectors: wait a lunar cycle, your 28-day money runway39:17 — The train metaphor: how all the types work together42:17 — ClosingGet Started:Join the 21-Day Money, AI & Human Design Challenge (open now): https://www.emmadunwoody.com/offers/qA2BTwL9/checkoutGet your free Human Design chart and Visionary Archetype: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/get-your-chartWork with me inside Maggie AI: https://meetmaggie.co/Subscribe to Substack for the full Money + Human Design Series: https://thehumandesigncoach.substack.com/Resources Mentioned:The 21-Day Money, AI & Human Design ChallengeThe Money, AI & Human Design MastermindThe Barefoot Investor (book Emma recommends for foundational money learning)Claude AI (which Emma uses to refine her investing strategy)Episode 1 of the series: How to Make Money According to Your Human Design Type - listen hereSupport the show

What if "everything looks normal" is the biggest lie your labs are telling you, because nobody thought to look at your gut?I brought a functional endocrinologist on the podcast this week because I wanted someone with actual letters after her name to say the thing I've been saying for years. Dr. Cassie has treated close to 10,000 people, she's lived through her own mess with Hashimoto's, Graves, and PCOS, and she walked away from traditional medicine because watching her patients get another prescription every single visit while never actually getting better broke her heart.She went looking for the missing piece. She found it in a place almost no doctor is ever trained to look.Your gut.This episode connects the dots between your gut, your insulin, your blood sugar, and every hormone you've been quietly trying to fix on your own. If you've ever felt dismissed, confused, or like your body showed up without an instruction manual, grab your coffee and settle in for this one.Here's what we cover:The "locked door" theory that explains why your hormones can look perfect on paper while you feel like a shell of yourselfWhat's actually happening in your gut that sabotages your thyroid, your insulin, and your mood, and why your doctor was probably never trained to check itThe real reason insulin gets a bad reputation it doesn't fully deserve, and what it's actually trying to do for youWhy fasted workouts might be quietly working against your goals, especially if weight loss is the goalThe dark room analogy Dr. Cassie uses for intermittent fasting that will completely change how you think about skipping mealsThe most dangerous sentence on social media right now, and why falling for it keeps women stuckLet's talk about the locked door thing for a second because it genuinely stopped me mid-sentence while we were recording.Every cell in your body has a door. That door is what lets hormones in so they can actually do their job. When you're inflamed, whether that's from stress, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, or gut issues you didn't even know you had, that door locks up. Double locks, in Dr. Cassie's words. Your hormone can be floating around your bloodstream at a completely normal level, and it still can't get where it needs to go. Your labs say you're fine. Your body says otherwise. And you're left wondering if you're just lazy or dramatic or making it up.You're not making anything up. Your cells are locked, and nobody thought to check the door.We also got into insulin, which gets treated like the villain of every hormone conversation when really it's a hormone your body needs to survive. The real issue is what happens when it stays chronically high, and how one overworked hormone can set off a cascade through your cortisol, your progesterone, your estrogen, and your thyroid all at once. Dr. Cassie walked through exactly how that domino effect plays out, and once you hear it laid out this way, so many of your symptoms suddenly click into place. The 2 a.m. wake-ups. The bloating that shows up out of nowhere. The mood swings that feel bigger than the moment deserves. The weight that won't move no matter what you cut.And can we talk about intermittent fasting for a second? If it genuinely works for your body, I am not here to take that away from you. But Dr. Cassie gave an analogy that made me set my coffee down. She compares inconsistent eating to being locked in a dark room while someone randomly throws food at you with zero schedule and zero pattern. Your body has no idea when it's getting fed next, so it holds on to everything it possibly can, just in case. That is a body in survival mode, and survival mode has never once been where hormone balance happens.If you work out fasted because everyone on social media swears by it, this episode might change your mind, or at the very least hand you the nuance nobody bothered giving you.My favorite part of the whole conversation was when Dr. Cassie called out the danger of the one thing that fixes everything. You know the accounts I mean. The ones with the six-pack, strong opinions about carbs being the enemy, and zero context about your actual body. What worked for that person was never guaranteed to work for you, because your body carries its own history, its own stress load, its own starting line. There is no universal fix, and hearing a doctor with 14 years of training say that out loud felt like permission to stop chasing whatever trend is loudest this week.Press play, get comfy, and let Dr. Cassie hand you back the missing pages of your own story. I've been in this space for years, and Dr. Cassie still taught me things I didn't know about my own gut. That's the kind of conversation this is.CONNECT WITH DR.

If you started your business today, would you actually follow your own old advice? I wouldn't. And after over $9 million in sales, I'm telling you exactly why.This isn't the first time I've tackled this topic either. Back in episode 28 (2022) and episode 186 (2024), I talked about what I'd do differently if I started over. Some of that advice still holds up. A lot of it doesn't anymore. So today I'm setting the record straight on what I'd keep, what I'd completely reverse, and what I think matters most for online business owners heading into 2026 and beyond.In this episode, you'll hear…Why I still believe there's no secret formula for building your business (and why copying what's "working" for everyone else can actually box you in)The one social media strategy I'd keep exactly the same, plus how I use AI tools to repurpose one cornerstone piece of content instead of creating from scratch everywhereWhy I'd ditch a "social media first" approach entirely and build an audience-first business insteadWhat I wish I'd done sooner when it comes to getting comfortable charging for my content and expertiseHow I shifted from "post everywhere, all the time" to focusing on fewer, bigger tasks that actually move my business forwardWhy "pace" today means being reactive and in the conversation, not just pumping out volumeClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarSubscribe to Sam's SubstackEpisode 280.

We're back with Part 2 of our 30 Years, 30 Lessons series, sharing more of the things three decades of marriage have taught us along the way. Just like last week, these aren't perfectly packaged marriage principles. They're lessons we've learned by actually living them, and some of them we definitely learned the hard way. We talk about admitting when you're wrong, why adding “but” to an apology usually ruins it, learning to respect your spouse's feelings even when you don't understand them, and what resentment and keeping score can slowly do to a marriage. We also get into some of the deeper lessons our own story has taught us about boundaries, forgiveness, rebuilding trust, communication, and walking through the different seasons of marriage together. Thirty years hasn't taught us how to have a perfect marriage. But it has taught us a lot about grace, growth, choosing each other, and continuing to show up even when marriage gets hard.

Jesus reminds His disciples that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—and that knowing Him means knowing the Father. Because of these promises, we can face difficult circumstances with hope while joining Jesus in His work wherever He has placed us. Even in the middle of trouble, we can trust that our future is secure, Jesus is with us, and our lives can be used for His purposes.   Taught by Jose Zayas.

What does it mean for a believer to be “dead to the law”? In Romans 7:1-13, the Apostle Paul explains that the law of God is holy, just, and good, but sinful man does not have the ability to produce righteousness through the law. Instead, the law reveals sin and exposes our need for the grace of God. Through the body of Christ, believers have been released from the condemning power of the law and joined to the risen Christ so that we can bear fruit to God. Rather than serving God in the oldness of the letter and the strength of our flesh, we are called to serve in the newness of the Spirit. This teaching also examines the Mosaic Law, the New Covenant, the relationship between law and grace, Paul's personal testimony, and why love is at the center of bearing fruit for God. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii. Social MediaApple App Store: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appGoogle Play: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appAmazon Appstore: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appRoku Channel Store: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appProphecy Website: http://jdfarag.orgChurch Website: http://www.calvarychapelkaneohe.com/X: https://x.com/JDFaragFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFarag/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/JDFarag/

The struggle between the flesh and the Spirit is real for every believer. In Romans 7:14–25, the Apostle Paul describes the painful conflict of wanting to do what is right while still confronting the sin nature that dwells within us. In this teaching, we look at why God's law is holy, just, and good, yet cannot sanctify us through the power of the flesh. We examine Paul's statement that “in my flesh nothing good dwells,” the importance of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, and Samson as an example of the difference between being strengthened by the Spirit and attempting to operate in our own strength. We also look at the battle that takes place in the mind and practical ways to take ungodly thoughts captive: recognizing them through self-examination, confronting them according to the word of God, committing them to prayer, and saturating our minds with Scripture.
