Have you ever found yourself prepping everything before you leave the house—or swooping in to “just fix it” when your partner handles a parenting moment differently than you would? It might feel helpful or necessary in the moment, but over time, it can quietly erode your partnership and leave you feeling more like a manager than a teammate. In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden cost of stepping in too often, why it happens (hint: it's not just about your spouse), and how you can begin to shift this pattern in a way that benefits everyone in your family. This isn't about blame—it's about awareness, relief, and building the kind of marriage where you feel held, supported, and safe to let go a little. Tune in to discover: The deeper reasons why moms step in, even when they don't want to What stepping in too often teaches your partner (and why it's not helping) The emotional weight of always being “on” and how it builds resentment The powerful mindset shift that helped me finally stop doing it all Conversations that build real partnership instead of more to-do lists   Connect with me for a FREE Married After Kids Intervention Call:  https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/277730-married-after-kids-intervention-call FREE Marriage Shutdown Checklist: https://marriedafterkids.com/marriage-shutdown?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=links&utm_campaign=MSoptin FREE TRAINING!

Mother's Day is supposed to be a celebration of moms—but for many of us, it just ends up highlighting how much we're carrying, how little help we're getting, and how unseen we feel most of the time. While the cards and flowers are sweet, they don't solve the deeper issue of the mental load so many moms are buried under. In this episode, I'm getting real about what's really going on beneath the surface, and why one day of appreciation isn't enough when you're carrying it all the other 364. I'll walk you through the steps I took to get out of resentment, build true partnership, and create a system where I feel supported every day—not just on Mother's Day.   Tune in to discover: Why the mental load is about way more than just household tasks What your heart is actually craving (and it's not a better gift) How to feel more emotionally supported by your spouse The difference between a “manager” and a true partner—and how to shift out of that role What to ask for when you're tired of holding it all alone   This episode is for every mom who feels like one day of celebration just isn't enough (because it's not).

Three Secrets to Building Influence with any Money or Policy Decisionmaker in Your World

There has never been a time when the influence of nonprofit leaders was more needed. In particular, we need to have influence with the money and policy decision makers that hold the power to help or harm the people we serve.At the same time, a lot of things are happening that could leave a nonprofit leader feeling pretty vulnerable and powerless. Our challenge is to find a way to move like water and create that influence no matter what else is going on. One of the things I hear most frequently from nonprofit leaders I work with is some version of, we can't get XYZ critical decision maker to listen to us. We've tried everything and we can't get through to them. We either can't get them to listen, or we can't get access to them, or both. And then what happens is folks just kind of give up on those decision makers or resign themselves to not being able to have influence with them.I get how that happens, but what's that costing you? If these are money and policy decision makers that matter, can you afford not to have influence with them? Is that really an option?      In this episode, we share:The two biggest problems most nonprofit leaders have in getting access to the right decisionmakers, and how to solve themHow past experience with decisionmakers can lead you to the wrong conclusions about influence building – and how that gets in your wayHow to train your subconscious brain to seek out and funnel influence-building opportunities to youHow to craft messaging that will really land with a decisionmaker, and motivate them to work with youWhat it really means to speak the decisionmaker's language, and why it makes such a huge differenceHow to know when it's time to switch tactics and build influence another way I'm preparing to launch a group coaching program that will focus specifically on helping you craft messaging that will shift decisionmakers' perspectives and get them on board with sustaining and even expanding your funding. This will be a coaching opportunity for a limited number of people to come in and be part of a group. There'll be some training, but most of it will be coaching and helping you to get your messaging dialed in so that you can address this pressing need.  What I'm seeing right now is there's nothing more important than this. If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, message me through the podcast website or on LinkedIn.  Links:Episode 67 -- Three Keys to FInding the Right Decisionmaker in any System

So, interestingly, like in the Bhāgavatam, when Sūta Goswami was promoted to the point of the leader of all the sages in Naimiṣāraṇya, he was called Ugraśravā. This word "Ugraśravā" means, you know, Ugranṛsiṁha, Ugrakarma—it's like fierce, incredibly heavy, "Ugra." "Ugraśravā" means somebody who's just totally leaned into hearing, Ugraśravā—they just made it their whole existence to hear the Vedic wisdom, as also mentioned in the Bhāgavatam later on (SB 11.3.21): tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam "One who is qualified to speak about the absolute truth is one who is śābday brahma niṣṇātam." They've taken a dip in the ocean of transcendental knowledge; they actually swam around in there, and then they come out like drenched. So, Ugraśravā is a very important point. Śraddhādhānāḥ, seriously inquisitive, means somebody who actually leans into hearing and hears all the relevant topics in a faithful way—faithful to one's lineage and one's guru. The mood is important also, not that I just go here, there, and everywhere collecting information. In fact, there's an admonition given in the Kṛṣṇa-bhajanāmṛta by Śrī Narahari Sarakāra Ṭhākura, whose samādhi you definitely run into this when you go to the Rādhā-Dāmodara temple in Vṛndāvana because when you're doing the circumambulation, his samādhi is right there at the caddy-corner is a good word to use, I think to Rūpa and Sanātana's samādhi. Just going around the corner, it's right there at the end—you can offer obeisances. He wrote a book called Śrī Kṛṣṇa-bhajanāmṛta, and in it, he talks about the mood of the devotee and how we should appreciate all Vaiṣṇavas. One of the ways he talks about it is that the Ganga has ripples and little waves sometimes, and he says whether the ripple is big or small, it's still the Ganga. So, whether a devotee is big or small in the estimation of the society—say, "Well, that's just a little devotee," or, "There's a big devotee here,"—it's still Ganga water, still it is worshipable. He goes on to say that when one accepts guidance in the paramparā system and accepts a Guru, even when one goes and takes information from others, he should bring that information back to the Guru and say, "This is what I collected," and offer it first to the Guru. Then the Guru also substantiates it, accepts it in the right mood. So, he said, in that way, one should carefully tune oneself to the mood of the sampradāya. In this verse, "tac chraddadhānāḥ," seriously inquisitive also means the mood in which one collects. As is mentioned in the śāstra, if one is faithful to Guru and Kṛṣṇa, then all the imports of Vedic knowledge become available. Does anybody know the verse? Take the mic, and you can say.

When I left my 9-5 job in 2018, I was a wedding photographer, and at one point I ventured into product photography.I got connected with a brand called Little Sleepies and worked with them for a few years. They were my first official brand photography client, and I learned so much through that experience.I think what really worked with this relationship was Little Sleepies and I were both new at the same time. This concept of connecting with new businesses is something I help my clients with who are looking to explore brand photography. Shooting for free or at discounted rates to get experience and build relationships is actually an unpopular opinion I have.This episode shares my thoughts on that, my experience with Little Sleepies, and details for a live masterclass happening October 17th.
