Ever wonder why toxic wellness culture has us dropping $80 on serums that don't work while wellness scams rake in billions targeting women who just want to feel better? I used to be that girl—clutching my overpriced celery juice, convinced the next biohacking trend would finally "fix" me, completely oblivious to how the wellness industry profits off our deepest insecurities. What if I told you that aging is not a disease to be cured, and that trillion-dollar industry built on essential oil wellness promises is actually designed to keep you coming back for more? Amy Larocca, award-winning journalist and author of "How to Be Well," is here to blow the lid off why wellness retreats feel like cults and how MLM schemes disguised as self-care are preying on our desire to belong.In today's episode, Amy and I dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about how the wellness industry specifically targets women, turning our natural desire for health and connection into profit margins. We're talking about everything from the psychology behind wellness scams to why "optimizing" ourselves has become another form of perfectionism that's keeping us stuck. If you've ever side-eyed your collagen gummies or wondered why that expensive retreat left you feeling more confused than transformed, this conversation is going to hit different.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why toxic wellness culture specifically targets women and how to spot the manipulation tactics before you fall for themThe real reason wellness scams are a $3.7 trillion industry—and it's not because the products actually workHow wellness retreats use cult-like psychology to make you feel like you belong (while emptying your wallet)Why MLM schemes disguised as essential oil wellness are preying on women's desire for community and financial freedomThe uncomfortable truth about biohacking trends and whether any of these "optimization" methods are actually helping youHow the wellness industry profits by convincing us that aging is a disease that needs expensive, complicated solutionsWhat Amy Larocca discovered during her deep dive into wellness communities—and why debunking doesn't workThe difference between actual health practices and commodified self-care that keeps you buying but never "fixed"This conversation with Amy hit me right in the gut because honestly, I've been that woman throwing money at wellness promises, hoping the next thing would finally make me feel "optimized." The truth is, we're all craving something real to believe in—but maybe what we're actually looking for isn't found in a $200 supplement or exclusive retreat. What if the real wellness revolution is learning to trust our own bodies and stop outsourcing our intuition to people who profit from our insecurities?

“Adolescence isn't the end of your close relationship with your child, it's the beginning of the best one you've ever had.”For so many parents, the teenage years loom like a storm cloud, fraught with anxiety, conflict, and the fear of losing connection. But what if everything you think you know about adolescence is dead wrong? What if it's not a time to dread or simply get through, but an invitation to lifelong closeness and understanding with your kids?In this episode we sit down with Megan Saxelby, founder of Wild Feelings, veteran educator, and reformed “middle school monster” on a mission to radically reframe how we all understand and approach adolescence. Drawing from 17 years in middle school classrooms and her pioneering work in dignity-based conflict resolution, Megan shares how these pivotal years can unlock the best, most meaningful relationships we'll ever have with our kids. We discuss:Why the “doom and gloom” narrative about teens does everyone (kids and adults alike!) a massive disservice, and what actually happens when we expect more from themThe powerful science behind adolescent brain development (hint: ages 11–17 are just as crucial as birth to five—and why we need to stop checking out right when it matters most)How dignity-based conflict resolution can transform peer relationships, empower young people to speak up, and bring empathy and accountability into every hard conversationThe number one thing teens want: to truly MATTER, to belong, and to have agency—along with simple, actionable shifts you can use to support them (no matter whose kid they are)Real talk about parenting through change: whether that's divorce, growing up, or just learning how to be your child's anchor, not their peerPractical ways to help teens (and yourself) meet the chaos of growing up, especially in a world that makes belonging and inclusion feel more urgent (and more fraught) than everOUR GUEST: Megan Saxelby is on a mission to reframe adolescence as a time of growth and connection—not chaos. A veteran educator and founder of Wild Feelings, she brings 17 years of classroom experience and cutting-edge research to her work with parents. Megan has collaborated with thought leaders like Rosalind Wiseman and Dr. Donna Hicks, and helped develop core curriculum for #halfthestory, a leading digital wellness nonprofit. Through Wild Feelings, she offers practical, evidence-based tools that help parents navigate the teen years with confidence and compassion.Want more Megan?

Healing doesn't come from fixing yourself.It comes from understanding yourself.Not just the polished parts but the scared ones, the striving ones, the parts we hide to survive.This week's guest, Sarah Jones, is a storyteller, artist, and activist known for her fearless exploration of identity. But this conversation isn't just about identity in the outer world, it's about the stories we carry inside, and the compassion it takes to hold them with care.Raised in a racially and culturally mixed household, Sarah unpacks what it means to belong to many worlds and sometimes feel at home in none. Through humor, vulnerability, and incredible emotional depth, she shares how the practice of Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her name, understand, and begin to heal her inner landscape.We explore:Why perfectionism is often just pain in disguiseWhat it means to live with “multiple parts” and how to listen to themThe link between emotional safety and self-worthHow addiction, self-abandonment, and survival can mask our basic goodnessAnd the healing power of play, creativity, and radical curiositySarah reminds us that real self-love isn't about declarations it's about attention. Tending to the parts of us that didn't get to speak, and learning to meet them with kindness.Love,Sarah Ann

I was on the road working with a client last week. And the CEO there asked me the most awesome question that I was super excited to answer. The minute we had the conversation, I knew it was one that we needed to have on the podcast as well, because it applies to absolutely every direct service nonprofit.I was on-site to help the client develop some advocacy strategies that were focused on specific desired results, involving particular decisionmaking bodies. But in the course of the conversation, the CEO said to me, “I'm so seeing the value of this work and how much impact it can have when we have a focused team working on a specific advocacy goal. It makes me think, what can we do to train every member of our staff to include advocacy as part of their jobs? Because I'm realizing it's just like we tell them that fundraising is part of everybody's job. It's everybody's job to build financial support for the organization in their personal circles or wherever they travel. I want that for advocacy as well. How do you do that?”That's exactly the right question to ask. What I shared with her was, there are three core skills every staff member is going to need, and you're going to have to train them. And I can tell you how. In this episode, we share:How one nonprofit staff member turned a chance encounter with a decisionmaker into a big winThe three core skills your team members need in order to be effective at basic advocacyThe most valuable advocacy skill you can teach your team, that will serve them everywhere in their lifeHow to create an organizational culture that will support advocacy work by allThe most common organizational culture elements that can inadvertently undermine your efforts, and how to solve themThe natural and intuitive messaging and engagement approach that will be easy for every team member to learn and use effectively Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!  

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereAs the auto industry faces a new wave of uncertainty—tariffs shifting daily, global instability, and mounting supply chain questions—leaders are under pressure to act fast. For many, that means retreating into old habits, tightening control, and centralizing decisions. But Jan challenges leaders to do the opposite.She knows it's tempting. In a crisis, the structure feels safe. But Jan argues that the real power lies in authentic leadership—especially now. That means staying true to your values, trusting your people, and letting go of micromanagement.Just look at General Motors. While the industry expected GM to return to its old ways during the crisis, it didn't. Instead, the company focused on stronger supplier relationships and open communication. It worked. GM earned its highest supplier trust score in 25 years.Then there's Stellantis. After years under Carlos Tavares' top-down approach, leadership is shifting. Antonio Filosa is already building relationships—with suppliers, dealers, and unions. It's a clear sign that even the biggest players are moving toward people-first leadership.Jan's message is clear: the future of leadership in this industry isn't about control—it's about connection. If you're leading a team right now, take this moment to ask yourself: Are you leading with fear or with trust?Because in the end, how you lead through the crisis will define what kind of organization—and culture—you build coming out of it.Themes discussed in this episode:Why crises often push leaders back into command-and-control—and why that's a mistakeWhy command-and-control leadership is failing in today's rapidly changing auto industryHow authentic leadership creates faster, more sustainable results during uncertaintyThe importance of trusting your team instead of micromanaging themThe hard truth about outdated leadership models and why they hold companies backHow General Motors improved supplier relationships by leaning into empowerment and transparencyHow Stellantis is moving away from fear-based leadership with new CEO Antonio FilosaYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.

295 – What do you think of when you hear the phrase: worshiping idols?You probably think of something that happened thousands of years ago, but isn't relevant in today's world.I  mean really, who bows down to idols today?Well, you'd be surprised. We may not make idols the way people in the Bible did, but there are modern day idols that we need to quit worshiping.My guest this week, Jake Doberenz, host of the Smashing Idols Podcast, talks about some of the idols in today's world that even the church has been bowing down to. And he'll share: How to realize this is what's going on when you're not aware of it How to quit worshiping these modern day idolsHow to destroy themThe blessings that come when you do this.Jake says there are often times when we have to make choices in life. We can't follow the world and Christ at the same time. We can't serve a materialistic way of life and God. We need to serve God and follow Christ. And in the process, not to make idols out of our own opinions and perspectives.Jake Doberenz info:Website: www.jakedoberenz.com/Podcast and newsletter: https://jakedoberenz.substack.com/Theophany Media, Jake's podcast production co.  www.theophanymedia.comShow notes:Transcript and Bible quotes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/295Text me your questions or comments.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞HELP ME CELEBRATE Your answer will be part of Episode 300 Go to Celebrate 300 and tell me Your nameWhere you're fromYour answer to this question: If you could go back in time and talk to Jesus, what would you ask him?I need your answer by June 13, 2025Thanks so much!Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

In today's episode, we're diving into why you might be unintentionally attracting broke and lazy clients through your marketing—and how to fix it. Let's be real: we've all done it. You offer discounts, run flash sales, or over-explain the value of your offers, but if you're doing it the wrong way, you're likely attracting clients who are more focused on a bargain than the actual transformation you're offering.In this episode, I cover:Why offering discounts and overemphasizing price can attract clients who aren't committed to the transformationHow offering guarantees or making promises you can't keep is a sure way to draw in people with no real self-beliefWhy marketing accountability constantly can result in clients who expect you to do the work for them—and how to shift your messaging to empower themThe danger of marketing "ease" and how it attracts people who think success comes without effort—and how to reframe that messageThis episode is not about avoiding pain points or glossing over the reality of the work it takes to get results. It's about adjusting the tone and framing of your offers so that you attract the kind of clients who are ready to take action and invest in their growth.

Growth - It's the one word on every property management business owner's lips right now but also the one thing that feels harder than ever to achieve. Whether it's privacy laws, limited building activity, or just the competition out there, growing a rent roll today is tough.Growth isn't just about more properties; it's about smart decisions, financial strategy, and knowing when and how to invest in your business. Buying a rent roll can be an incredible growth strategy but only if your current business is strong and your systems are ready to scale. If you don't have a plan to keep and replace the properties you lose, growing your rent roll can end up costing you more than it makes.Don't wait until you need to grow. Get your business in order now! Whether that's cleaning up your books, revisiting your team structure, or building better relationships. You'll be more profitable, better prepared for opportunities, and in a position to say YES when that ideal rent roll pops up. In this episode I chat with Steven Marinucci who is a trusted advisor in the commercial banking sector, with a specialised focus on rent roll funding for the real estate industry.

His passion lies in structuring tailored financial solutions that empower businesses to grow sustainably and maximise their potential.Steven breaks down everything you need to know about financing a rent roll, and why chasing growth without a plan can do more harm than good. From cash flow strategies to retention tips and acquisition readiness, this is a masterclass in building a sustainable and scalable rent roll.“  You have to remember that 10% of your managements are getting lost every year. Through sales, through mismanagement, through people moving back in, it's around that 10% mark. And if you don't have a plan to replenish that, the bigger you get, the more you need to replenish. So at a thousand managements, you need to find 100 managements every year” - Steven MarinucciWe explore:Why so many property management businesses are struggling to grow right nowWhy you keep losing managements each year and what you need to do to replace themThe biggest mistake people make when buying a rent roll and how to avoid itWhy organic growth is critical before you ever consider an acquisitionWhy property management only businesses struggle to scale and what to do insteadHow location, profitability, and proximity impact your rent roll's valueWhat banks really look at when approving finance for a rent roll purchase How to clean up your P&L and financials to prepare for a future opportunity The biggest red flags that slow down or block financing altogetherHow to run a leaner business by rethinking staffing, software, and outsourcingReal tips for making money with a 300 property rent roll without overspendingWhy you need to get your finances sorted before the perfect rent roll comes up for saleKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses:

Why do narcissists seem to lash out when you're at your happiest? Why do they ruin birthdays, holidays, family events, or moments of personal success? If you've ever found yourself asking “Why can't they just let me enjoy this?”, this episode is for you.In this deep-dive episode, we unpack the disturbing reality behind why narcissists can't stand your joy. Whether it's your graduation, a promotion, a peaceful family gathering, or simply a quiet moment of contentment, narcissists have a way of inserting chaos, guilt, or drama—ensuring that the spotlight shifts back to them.We'll explore:The narcissist's pathological envy and need to undermine youHow they weaponise special moments to create emotional confusionThe psychological reason your joy feels threatening to themThe difference between support and sabotage in toxic dynamicsCommon tactics: disappearing acts, passive-aggressive comments, arguments out of nowhere“They see your joy as a reminder they can't feel theirs.”Narcissistic sabotage isn't random—it's a patterned behaviour used to reassert control and destabilise you emotionally. These moments of sabotage are often followed by gaslighting, blame-shifting, or false apologies that keep you questioning yourself and walking on eggshells.You'll also hear real-world examples from my counselling practice, helping you identify red flags and understand the deeper emotional manipulation at play.“They won't let you have the moment—unless it serves them.”This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt emotionally ambushed during what should've been their happiest moments.

"There is  more  and more money  going into podcasting advertising every year. Billions and billions now worldwide. So where is it?"Let's be honest—everywhere you turn, you're being told podcasting is a goldmine. Billions of dollars in ad revenue! Massive growth! Side hustle magic! But where is that money really going? Because it's not landing in your inbox—or mine.In this episode of Smarter Podcasting, I'm joined by the brilliant Charlotte Lewis-West, a podcast strategist with a background in broadcast journalism and over a decade working with brands like GSK, Microsoft and Unilever.

Spoiler: it's not going viral or chasing trends. It's consistency, knowing your audience, and delivering actual value—week after week.This isn't about crushing dreams. It's about saving you from wasting time, money, and energy on the wrong things—and helping you build a podcast that works for you and your business.Timestamps02:02 – Why I started Smarter Podcasting and what we've achieved03:46 – Charlotte breaks down where the podcast ad money really goes07:00 – Why most shows (even good ones) don't get sponsors09:52 – How many downloads I've had—and why that's not the whole story13:00 – The real reasons to start a podcast (hint: not for ad money)17:30 – The biggest mistakes brands make with podcasts20:10 – “Build it and they will come” is a lie22:32 – The indie podcaster dilemma: doing too much at once24:58 – Monetization beyond sponsorship: smarter ways to get ROI28:10 – What to look for in a sponsor—and how to avoid sounding fake30:45 – Why authentic ads win and scripts usually suckSend us a textThe Podcast Launch LabThe Podcast Makeover Sign up for Descript now!

Want to burn more fat, feel more energized, and stop pesky cravings? But here's the twist: not by changing what you eat but by when you eat it!! In this episode, you will learn how what you eat impacts your blood sugar, cravings, and metabolism, why skipping meals often backfires, the three daily eating windows to reset your metabolism, and how to time your meals to boost fat burning. So many women obsess over what foods to eat for burning fat, completely overlooking food pairing and meal timing. I debunk the myth that some foods are better than others for losing weight and explain why calories are what matter. But remember, food quality and your hormonal response to it also matter!How you fuel your body in the morning truly impacts how it performs the rest of the day. I share heaps of research to back this up. I explain how by providing your brain, muscles, and body with their desired fuel, they burn fat throughout the day, eliminating cravings and excess fat. There's a time and place for intermittent fasting, but it's not every day nor for everyone. Instead, I provide an alternative. I then share my top three strategies for eating within an hour of waking. Not to be missed! Lastly, I recommend the optimal time to leave between meals, depending on how active you are. These are all subtle shifts that may mean you need to wake up earlier or meal prep the day before, with a healthy dose of experimenting too, but try it for 10-15 days, and I promise you will feel the shift!Ready for a great night's sleep?

If your life feels stuck on repeat… if no matter how hard you work, nothing seems to actually change, this episode is your wake-up call.Here's the truth most people don't want to admit:Your reality isn't “happening” to you. It's reflecting you — the beliefs, the identity, the frequency you're aligned with right now.And if that alignment is off?Your reality will lie to you.It will tell you you're not ready.It will tell you you're not worthy.It will show you the opposite of everything you want — until you finally decide to stop playing small and start shifting who you ARE.In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why time isn't your problem (and never was)How to stop chasing goals and start aligning with the version of you who already has themThe reason your current results aren't a fluke — they're a mirrorThe simple mindset shift that puts your power back in your hands (and flips your reality on its head)This one's not soft.
