What if the opportunities you're waiting for aren't passing you by because you lack experience, but because the right people don't know what you're capable of?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by personal branding expert and entrepreneur Amelia Sordell to explore why women need to stop waiting to be picked and start making themselves visible.Amelia explains that your personal brand isn't simply what you post on social media. It's the impression you create through your values, behaviour, knowledge, experience and the way you show up in the world. You don't need to become an influencer or add another overwhelming task to your life—but you do need to take control of your own story.They explore why so many talented women and mothers downplay their achievements, while people with far less experience confidently put themselves forward. Amelia also shares the “big red button” moments that changed her life, from leaving a secure job with two young children to closing the multimillion-pound agency she no longer wanted to run.Her message is simple but powerful: confidence doesn't arrive before you act. Confidence is built by finding the courage to take a risk, discovering that you can handle it and then doing it again.

If you've been dating for a while, you've probably felt the pull of scarcity thinking. It can sound like “there's no good people left to date” or “I need to lock this down before he loses interest.” Abundance thinking sounds more expansive and hopeful. When you date from a place of abundance, you believe there's enough love, enough time, and enough good people out there, so you can slow down and make healthier choices.Here are five places where the difference between scarcity and abundance shows up most clearly in real dating situations.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio or Spotify https://tinyurl.com/lfdradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, apply for a complimentary 30-minute breakthrough session with me https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Free Facebook for women https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get my books: Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Submit your dating dilemma to be answered on my podcast https://tinyurl.com/datingdilemma ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ► TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@lastfirstdate1 ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate  

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.” After betrayal, you might feel desperate to know everything. Who was she? How long did it last? What happened? Did he love her? Is he finally telling you everything? And at the exact same time, you might desperately wish you could unknow all of it. You want yesterday back. You want your memories back. You want a business trip to just be a business trip. You want your marriage, your husband, and your reality back. That push-pull is one of the hardest parts of betrayal: Tell me everything. Please don't tell me that. But how much truth do you really need? In this episode, we're talking about the difference between truth and certainty, why some information is essential for your health, safety, finances, and decision-making, and why knowing one more detail doesn't necessarily make you feel safer. I'm also sharing a deeply personal moment from about 18 months after discovery, when I realized there was one question I had never asked my husband. When I finally asked it, his answer was painful. But instead of destroying me, the truth gave me something real to stand on. Because eventually, the most important question may no longer be, “What else don't I know about him?” It may be: What is true for me now?   Top 3 Takeaways Truth and certainty are not the same thing. After betrayal, it's natural to search for information because your reality has been shattered. But at some point, the search for truth can become a search for certainty, and no amount of information can guarantee that you'll never be blindsided again. You can want the truth and wish you could unknow it at the same time. Part of what you're grieving may be the loss of not knowing. Before discovery, your life made sense. Healing isn't about pretending you never learned the truth. It's reaching a place where knowing it no longer destroys you. Eventually, his truth has to lead you back to your own. What do you need to know? What would need to happen for reconciliation to be possible? What are you willing and unwilling to live with? What do you want? You may never know every detail, but you can reach a place where you know enough and, most importantly, where you know and trust yourself   Favorite Quotes “Maybe the truth that ultimately sets you free isn't finally knowing everything he did. Maybe it's finally knowing what you're going to do with what you know.” If FLAUNT! has helped you through betrayal, make sure you're subscribed, and please leave a quick comment or review.

By late summer, the garden can start to feel a little wild. The weeds are growing fast, the harvest is piling up, watering needs are changing, and life outside the garden is getting busier, too.So what actually needs your attention right now, and what can you let go?In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, we're talking through our top priorities for the late summer garden. We'll cover why harvesting should come first, how to adjust your watering as the season changes, what to do with bare garden beds, when to plant fall crops or cover crops, and how to keep weeds from creating more work next year.We also talk about something that's just as important: learning to recognize when good enough really is good enough. You don't need a perfectly tidy garden to have a successful season.Plus, we're sharing what's happening around our homestead right now, from preserving green beans and sauerkraut to fall pasture management, meat chickens, and preparing for the colder months ahead.LINKS MENTIONED:* Traditional Skills Academy Curriculum: https://traditionalskillsacademy.com/* Thanks to Azure Standard for sponsoring this podcast.

Today, John Norlin and Houston Kraft mark the launch of Season 9 of the CharacterStrong Podcast by digging into a framework that was unpacked this summer around what it actually takes to cultivate the conditions where students and adults can thrive. They also reflect on what nine seasons of conversations with educators have made clear, that the leaders who create lasting change share three consistent traits: they are passionate about the work, they build systems rather than chase goals, and they stay with it long after the initial energy fades. In this conversation, John and Houston offer important reminders for educators and leaders: Before adding anything new, leaders have to ask what needs to be removed first. Invasive ideas and programs crowd out the things that are actually meant to thrive. Preparation precedes growth. Watering the soil before planting, building belonging and culture before instruction begins, changes what is possible once the work starts. The initiatives worth investing in are the ones that give back as much as they take. If something only costs the people doing it, it will not last. Passion, systems, and persistence are the through line across nine seasons of educators doing work that matters. Goals without systems and staying power rarely move the needle.

Everyone in your house started again this month. New shoes, new bag, photo on the doorstep. Everyone except the person who organised all of it.Get your coat on. This one's a walk.-----This is the first Power Walk.Here's how it works: you get outside, you press play, and you walk for half an hour. I talk for some of it. For a decent chunk of it I shut up and let you think, because the thinking is the bit that does something.No pace to hit. No distance. No app counting your calories. Your phone goes in your pocket and it stays there.----In this first episode we talk about the thing nobody mentions in September, that the whole house gets a fresh start except you. The kids get a new teacher, a clean page and nobody holding last year against them. You get the same desk, the same inbox, the same Monday and the same body you had in August.Then we get into what waiting actually costs you. Not the fitness that comes back quicker than you think. It's the fourteen Januarys you've written off, and the file of evidence you've built saying you're the sort of person who doesn't stick at things. Every one of those entries, you wrote yourself.By the end you'll have picked one thing. Not a plan. Not an overhaul. One thing small enough that you can still picture yourself doing it in February, when it's dark and wet and nobody's watching.You don't need a fresh start. You just need to start. They're two completely different things, and one of them you can do before you get home.00:00 — Arrival. What The Power Walk is, and how to walk it. Shoulders down, chin up, phone in the pocket.03:00 — Breath reset. Two minutes of box breathing. Four in, four hold, four out, four hold. Follow the sound, don't count.06:00 — Recognition. School shoes, the doorstep photo, and the person who organised all of it. When did you last actually begin something?12:00 — The cost. Fourteen years of waiting for January. What eleven days in a row actually buys you.18:00 — The fire. Pace up. Find a hill. January is a made-up line on a calendar and your body has no idea what date it is.23:00 — Breath down and the one thing. Longer exhales, then you pick your one thing and say it out loud on the pavement.27:00 — Walk home. Tomorrow it'll feel small and a bit stupid. Do it anyway.Your job this weekPick one thing. Say it out loud while you're out there.Not a plan, not a transformation — one thing you can still see yourself doing in February. Three walks a week. No drink on a school night. Lights out by half ten. This walk, same time, every week for sixteen weeks.Then do it tomorrow, when you don't feel like this.Anything above zero compounds if you do it long enough.What's in this episodeSixteen episodes, one a week, through to the end of the year. Same shape every time: you get outside, you get your breath sorted, you get something to chew on, and you come home with one decision made.Best done on the same day each week so it becomes a fixture rather than a thing you fit in. Headphones, coat, no destination.The breath work in this episode is done walking, at an easy pace. If you get light-headed at any point, drop the holds and breathe normally. If you're pregnant, or you've got a heart or respiratory condition, or anything else that makes you pause — skip the holds and just walk. It works fine without them.If you want people walking next to you while you do this, that's what Thrive at 40 is for people over forty, rebuilding one ordinary decision at a time.

When He Says He'll Change: What Real Recovery From Porn Addiction Actually Looks Like With Sathiya Sam, Founder of DeepClean™ After discovering pornography, infidelity, or other secret sexual behavior, one of the hardest questions isn't simply Why did he do it? It's Can he actually change? He may swear he'll never do it again. Delete apps. Install filters. Start therapy. Hand over his phone. Go weeks or months without pornography. And you desperately want to believe that this time is different. But how can you tell the difference between someone who has stopped a behavior—for now—and someone who is actually changing? In this episode, Lora Cheadle sits down with Sathiya Sam, founder of DeepClean™, author of The Last Relapse, and host of The Man Within podcast, for a candid conversation about pornography addiction, betrayal, relapse, and what lasting recovery really requires. Drawing from his own 15-year struggle with pornography and his work helping men recover, Sathiya explains why pornography addiction is rarely solved by willpower, promises, shame, filters, or simply trying harder. Lasting change requires getting underneath the behavior to the emotional wounds, unmet needs, nervous-system patterns, beliefs, and identity that helped create the cycle in the first place. His current DeepClean approach likewise emphasizes addressing underlying emotional wounds, core beliefs, unmet needs, regulation, identity, and relationships rather than measuring success only by abstinence. Lora and Sathiya also address the question so many betrayed partners struggle with: What is my role in his recovery? Because supporting someone is not the same as recovering for them. You cannot love him enough, monitor him enough, become a "superwife," have more sex, make his life easier, or find the perfect words that will make him change. His recovery belongs to him. Your healing belongs to you. And perhaps most importantly, recovery doesn't have to mean returning to the relationship you had before. When someone genuinely addresses the roots of addiction, the goal isn't simply a man who no longer watches pornography. It's a man who knows himself better, regulates himself differently, communicates more honestly, takes responsibility for his needs and behavior, and begins showing up differently in his marriage and his life. Top 3 Takeaways Stopping the behavior is not the same as healing what created it. A promise to stop, an internet filter, accountability software, or a period of abstinence may change behavior without addressing its roots. Sathiya describes lasting recovery as developing self-awareness, healing underlying emotional wounds and unmet needs, and shifting identity—not merely becoming better at resisting pornography. Look for trends of transformation, not just streaks of abstinence. Instead of asking only, How many days has he been "clean"?, look at what is changing in the man. Can he name his emotions and needs? Regulate himself during difficult conversations? Talk about what he's uncovering without becoming immediately defensive? Take responsibility for his recovery? Communicate honestly about both struggles and progress? As Sathiya explains, a relapse does not automatically erase every bit of growth—and a long streak does not necessarily prove the underlying problem has healed. You can support his recovery, but you cannot do it for him. One of the most painful truths for a betrayed partner is that you cannot make someone want recovery more than they want it themselves. Your job is not to become his accountability partner or work harder for his healing than he does. Your work is getting your own support, processing your pain safely, establishing and upholding your boundaries, and paying attention to what his behavior—not merely his promises—is showing you. Favorite Quotes “He kind of has to want to change more than you want him to change for anything to actually change.” — Sathiya Sam “I would rather be 100% my true self and rejected than 80% my true self and accepted.” — Sathiya Sam “This is not about him not loving her. This is not about him not valuing the marriage or the relationship or their kids.” — Lora Cheadle About Sathiya Sam Sathiya Sam is the founder of DeepClean™, an author, international speaker, former university researcher and pastor, and host of The Man Within podcast. After his own long struggle with pornography, Sathiya developed a root-focused approach to helping men move beyond addictive behaviors by addressing emotional wounds, unmet needs, regulation, faith, relationships, and identity. His book, The Last Relapse, expands on the principles discussed in this episode, including why lasting freedom requires more than willpower or surface-level behavior modification.

What if the cholesterol numbers you've been watching aren't telling you the whole story about your heart? In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia to explore why he believes metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance deserve far more attention when assessing cardiovascular risk, especially for women entering perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Ovadia shares what he's learned after 25 years in heart surgery, including why he's now routinely operating on patients in their 40s and even 30s. They break down the metabolic warning signs that can appear decades before advanced heart disease, from rising blood pressure and waist circumference to fasting insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and HDL. You'll also hear their discussion about cholesterol and advanced lipid testing, how changing hormones can affect women's cardiometabolic health, and why resistance training, real food, muscle, sleep, and blood sugar stability matter. Plus, Dr. Ovadia explains how continuous glucose monitors can provide real-time insight into your metabolic health and the heart imaging he recommends women discuss with their healthcare providers. Listen now to discover the metabolic clues your body may be giving you today and how to start protecting your heart for decades to come. DR. PHILIP OVADIA Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, founder of Ovadia Heart Health Center, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table and Stay Off My Kitchen Table. After performing thousands of heart surgeries, Dr. Ovadia shifted part of his work toward prevention, helping patients identify and address metabolic dysfunction before it progresses to advanced cardiovascular disease. His virtual practice focuses on improving metabolic health as a strategy for reducing heart disease risk. IN THIS EPISODE Why Dr. Ovadia believes insulin resistance deserves more attention in heart disease prevention The five basic metabolic markers he wants women tracking Why your personal blood pressure baseline matters in midlife What fasting insulin can reveal before blood sugar becomes obviously abnormal Why cholesterol alone may not give you the complete picture of cardiovascular risk How muscle and resistance training support metabolic and heart health What a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about food, energy, and blood sugar When Dr. Ovadia recommends considering coronary artery calcium imaging QUOTES “It's never too early to start thinking about this, but it's also never too late.” “Cholesterol is not the main thing driving heart disease.” “Low-fat diets, they simply don't work.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution http://drmariza.com/book Stop surviving and start thriving, join Midlife on Fire Collective now https://drmariza.com/trial Stay Off My Operating Table by Dr. Philip Ovadia Dr. Ovadia Website Dr. Ovadia Facebook Dr. Ovadia Instagram Dr. Ovadia Youtube RELATED EPISODES 769: Is It Perimenopause or Something Else?

Most of us don't struggle with making decisions because we lack information. We struggle because we're afraid of getting it wrong, or maybe we're afraid of what other people will think.

You can have the license, the laptop, and a full client list, and still stay exactly where you are, because learning to transform your money mindset is the piece most traveling therapists skip until it's absolutely unavoidable. This one's a replay of one of our most-requested episodes, and it earns that spot for a reason. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Scarlett Stanhope, known as the Biz Hippie, to talk about why money, not licensure or tech setup, is usually the real reason people never book the flight.We get into the core beliefs that quietly run the show long before you ever open a bank statement, the childhood money messaging most people never think to question, and the very uncomfortable topic of charging what you're actually worth. Transforming your money mindset starts here, and if you've been waiting for the money to feel more stable before you make a move, Scarlett is going to poke at that belief a little.In This Episode, We Explore…Why "not enough-ness" shows up the same way whether you're broke or financially comfortable.The difference between the tangible and intangible sides of healing your relationship with money.What Scarlett's compost pile has to do with breaking a scarcity mindset.The real cost of undercharging, and why overcharging can backfire just as fast.How Scarlett's pricing "secret sauce" helps you find the edge of your comfort zone.Connect with Scarlett Stanhope:Website: https://thebizhippie.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebizhippie/ Book an Abundance Activation Session: https://thebizhippie.com/activate/ Are you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?

Send us Fan MailIf your team is working hard but results feel chaotic, the problem usually is not effort. It's direction. We dig into the second part of our leadership pillar in the Five to Thrive series by pairing two fundamentals that determine whether your strategy actually turns into growth: influence and alignment. Think of influence as the engine of leadership and alignment as the directions. A powerful engine with bad directions still wastes time, burns people out, and creates frustration.Click here to watch Part 3 of this leadership seriesClick here to watch Part 1 of this leadership seriesClick here to watch Part 1 of this leadership series on YouTubeClick here to Schedule a Free Business ConsultationSend us Fan MailWelcome to The Brian Wright Show:Brian Wright works closely with executives, entrepreneurs, small business owners and executives in five areas essential to thrive in the new economy: Leadership, Culture, Sales, Hospitality & Marketing.

That starts with relational trust built through consistent behavior, active listening, and transparent communication. From there we move into contextual clarity, communicating the why behind decisions so change management does not turn into resistance, confusion, or passive compliance. We also talk reciprocal value, aligning organizational goals with individual aspirations by knowing your people as real humans, not just numbers on a dashboard.Then we get tactical about organizational alignment: set non-negotiables while giving autonomy, stop micromanagement from killing confidence, and fix your meetings by focusing on lead measures that people can control instead of only lag measures that shame them after the fact. We also cover feedback loops like one-on-ones, team roundtables, and cross-training to improve coordination and customer experience, plus the “disagree and commit” standard so debate does not become drift. If you want a team that executes fast without taking 55 wrong turns, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a leader on your team, and leave a review with your biggest alignment challenge.

Rethinking Autism Therapy is a four-part mini-series for parents, caregivers, professionals, and Autistic individuals who want to learn about DIRFloortime®, a strength-based, developmental, relationship-driven approach to growth and connection.Can DIRFloortime® help autistic adults, too?In this final episode of the Rethinking Autism Therapy mini-series, Daria Brown is joined by clinical developmental psychologist and DIRFloortime® Expert and Training Leader Dr. Kathy Platzman to explore how the DIR® model can support autistic adults, late-diagnosed individuals, and anyone seeking greater self-understanding, self-advocacy, and emotional growth. Together, they discuss how DIRFloortime® extends far beyond childhood intervention. Rather than focusing on deficits, the model emphasizes relationships, individual differences, strengths, and human development across the lifespan. Dr. Platzman explains how DIR's developmental framework can help adults better understand their sensory profiles, emotional regulation needs, personal strengths, and patterns of connection with others. They explore topics such as masking, self-advocacy, trauma, neurodiversity, sensory differences, self-regulation, and the importance of discovering what brings joy and meaning to life. Through personal stories and reflections, Daria and Kathy demonstrate how DIRFloortime® can provide a roadmap for understanding ourselves with greater compassion and helping others do the same.

Is this perimenopause… or is something else going on? It's one of the most common questions Dr. Mariza hears from women in their late 30s and early 40s, especially when their periods are still regular and they've never experienced a hot flash. In this solo episode, Dr. Mariza breaks down why early perimenopause can be so difficult to recognize and the less obvious signs that often appear first, including exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, brain fog, sleep changes, worsening PMS, migraines, and changes in stress tolerance. She shares three important clues for identifying a possible perimenopause pattern: looking for clusters of symptoms, noticing changes from your normal baseline, and tracking how symptoms change throughout your cycle. But hormones aren't always the entire story. Dr. Mariza also explains why thyroid dysfunction, low iron, metabolic issues, nutrient deficiencies, sleep problems, and other conditions deserve investigation, even when perimenopause is part of the picture. Plus, you'll learn how to track your symptoms and walk into your next healthcare appointment prepared to ask better questions. Listen now to connect the dots, understand what your body is telling you, and get clearer on your next steps. IN THIS EPISODE Why so many women over 35 aren't sure whether they're in perimenopause The early perimenopause symptoms women often mistake for stress or burnout Why you can be in perimenopause while still having regular periods The three clues Dr. Mariza uses to recognize a perimenopause pattern Why tracking changes from your personal baseline matters How your menstrual cycle can reveal patterns in mood, sleep, migraines, and energy What else to investigate, including thyroid, iron, metabolic health, and sleep How to advocate for yourself when your labs look “normal” but you don't feel like yourself QUOTES “Stop looking at the one symptom that proves you're in perimenopause. Start looking at the collection of clues and patterns that your body is exposing.” “Perimenopause doesn't usually show up with a giant flashing sign.” “Hormones may be a huge part of the picture without being the entire picture.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution http://drmariza.com/book Comprehensive Perimenopause Lab Guide Stop surviving and start thriving, join Midlife on Fire Collective now https://drmariza.com/trial RELATED EPISODES  768: Why Your Period Gets So Weird in Perimenopause + What Actually Helps with Kaya and Yasmin Purohit 764: Why Your Nervous System Feels Dysregulated (Even When You're Doing Everything Right) with Roseann Capanna-Hodge 750: The Underlying Cellular Cause of Midlife Fatigue, Brain Fog & Low Motivation with Andrew Salzman 650: Unlock Your Health: The Ultimate Biomarker & Lab Blueprint to Thrive in Midlife and Beyond

After thirty years in the wellness industry and hundreds of conversations with extraordinary health experts, I keep arriving at the same conclusion. Not a revolutionary one. A remarkably unsexy one. The basics work. In this episode I share the turning point in my own life that proved this to me beyond any doubt, including my experience with a program called Genesis Transformation, where I watched women deep in perimenopause transform their bodies by doing nothing more exotic than drinking water, strength training, sleeping, eating enough protein, and parenting their brains. What I also share is the framework I have built my entire coaching career around, the Five to Thrive, plus the two additions I would make today: community and time in nature. The breakthrough you are looking for is probably not a new protocol. It is probably a deeper and more consistent relationship with what you already know works. Want to keep going?

Stepparenting can be deeply meaningful, but it can also leave you feeling rejected, exhausted, and unsure of your place in the family. We know how painful it is to care about a child, invest your heart, and still feel pushed away.In this episode, we sit down with Laura Petherbridge to talk honestly about the expectations that often set stepparents up for disappointment and the pressures that can eventually lead to burnout. Laura reminds us that thriving as a stepparent starts with understanding how blended families are different, recognizing what is and isn't within your control, and learning when to step back without stepping out. Laura is an author, speaker, chaplain, and life coach who presents on relationships and marriage, stepfamilies, co-parenting, divorce prevention, and divorce recovery. She has written several books, appeared on countless TV, radio, and podcast segments, and spoken across the U.S., Australia, and South Africa. She also offers a practical and encouraging monthly newsletter. (You can sign up using the link below!)Some additional things we explore with Laura include why a stepparent's influence matters more than forcing authority or closeness, how biological parents can unintentionally intensify burnout, and why protecting your identity outside the stepparent role is especially important for childless stepmoms.If stepparenting has worn you down, this conversation will help you release unrealistic expectations, protect your heart, find healthy support, and move forward with greater clarity and hope.You'll Discover:Why realistic expectations are essential for preventing stepparent disappointment and burnoutHow to distinguish healthy “stepping back” from emotionally checking out of the familyWhy influence is often a healthier goal for a stepparent than authority, control, or forcing connectionHow the biological parent can either reduce or intensify the pressure a stepparent experiencesWhy maintaining your own identity, relationships, and support system is especially important for childless stepparentsResources from this Episode:CLICK HERE to sign up for Laura's newsletterCLICK HERE to join Laura's private FB group for childless stepmomsScreens and Teens:  Connecting with Our Kids in a Wireless World by Kathy Koch PhD Ready for some extra support?We all need some extra support along the blending journey.  You can connect with us for a free coaching call to see how we might help you experience more clarity, confidence and connection in your home.  Schedule your free call here:  https://calendly.com/mikeandkimcoaching/freesession Subscribe or Follow the Show Click here to subscribe on YouTubeClick here to follow on Apple PodcastsClick here to follow on SpotifyLeave a Review in Apple PodcastsIf you're feeling extra helpful, we would be so grateful if you left us a review over on Apple Podcasts too.

After 10 years of motherhood, I'm really glad I did some things in those first few weeks, and plenty I'd do completely differently.Nothing can quite prepare you for becoming a mother. Those early weeks can be full of love and joy while also feeling exhausting, overwhelming and completely identity-shifting. I certainly wasn't prepared for the emotional whiplash of holding all of those feelings at once.In this special episode, created in partnership with Tesco Fred & Flo, I'm looking back at my first experience of new motherhood and sharing what I got right, what I learnt the hard way and what I wish I'd known before having a baby.We talk about setting boundaries with visitors (including my one rule that I still think was genius!), why new mothers need care rather than being expected to host, and the huge identity shift of matrescence that I knew absolutely nothing about when I had my first daughter.I also share how the mental load began creeping into my relationship almost without us noticing, and the practical change my husband, Guy, and I made to create a more equal division of parenting and household responsibilities. Plus, I share the newborn essentials I genuinely found useful, what I spent time and money on that I probably wouldn't again, and some very practical tips for making those sleep-deprived early weeks a little easier.Because when you're adjusting to life with a new baby, recovering from birth and trying to work out who you are now, the last thing you need is more pressure.

I lay out a practical definition that has nothing to do with title, rank, or authority, and I tell a story from my childhood that proves it. Then we get into the shift that changes how you run meetings, set goals, and coach your team: stop chasing finite outcomes you cannot control and start mastering the controllables that create them. If you've been living and dying by dashboards, this will feel like a reset in the best way.From there, we dive into the first core dimension of leadership: vision and strategy. I break down why vision is future-focused and never fully “accomplished,” why it should not be a number, and why it should not just describe what you sell. We also talk strategy as execution, not ideas, including why “quick fixes” backfire, how change management really works, and how to protect your long-term vision with short-term, actionable, controllable goals.If you want a leadership framework you can actually apply, subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a quick review so more leaders can find the Five To Thrive series. What's one controllable you can improve this week?

Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Johnny V., and James GowellEdited by: Tim NicholsonJerusalem is in ruins. The streets are empty. The people are in chains. And the prophet sits in the ash and weeps.Lamentations isn't a book for the put-together, it's a book for anyone who has ever felt abandoned, forgotten, or spiritually numb. Five chapters of raw grief that somehow land on the most stunning declaration in the Old Testament: *His mercies are new every morning.*In this episode of Thriving in the Word, we walk straight into the wreckage of Lamentations 1–5 and ask the questions people are afraid to ask out loud, Where is God when everything falls apart? What do you do when the goal posts keep moving? How do you hold onto hope when hope looks like pie in the sky?The answer isn't a platitude. It's a posture.The Lord is your inheritance — even in the rubble.Lamentations 3:24 | NLTThe LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!"Search tags / keywords: Lamentations Bible study, Inheretence, book of Lamentations explained, Christian suffering podcast, God's discipline Scripture, value of life Bible, biblical forgiveness and grace, Bible podcast for believers, history of Lamentations, hope in suffering Bible, Thriving in the Word podcastMore Info: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠Give: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thrive.church/give/⁠⁠⁠⁠Need prayer? ⁠⁠⁠⁠prayer@thrive.church⁠⁠⁠⁠This is a presentation of Thrive.Church.© All Rights Reserved.

Hi Parents! Teens are busier than ever before. Their schedules are full, their achievements are impressive, and on the surface, many appear to be doing everything "right." But are they actually thriving? In today's episode, I'm joined by internationally recognized educational psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Michele Borba to explore what it truly means to raise resilient, emotionally healthy teens in today's high-pressure world. Drawing from more than 40 years of research and the insights from her bestselling book Thrivers, Dr. Borba explains why success isn't measured by grades, trophies, or packed calendars - but by the character strengths that help young people navigate life's inevitable challenges. Together, we discuss why today's culture often prioritizes achievement over emotional growth, how removing every obstacle can unintentionally weaken resilience, and why healthy struggle is actually an essential part of development. Dr. Borba shares why qualities like empathy, perseverance, courage, and self-control are some of the strongest predictors of long-term well-being and how parents can intentionally nurture these traits at home. We also explore the difference between teens who simply look successful and those who are genuinely thriving, the role of real-world experiences in building confidence beyond screens, and practical ways parents can support emotional resilience without adding more pressure or expectations. If you've ever wondered whether your teen is truly flourishing or simply keeping up, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies for helping them build confidence, resilience, and the character strengths they'll carry for a lifetime.

Mary Kay Ash turned a $5,000 investment into a cosmetics empire that promised generations of women financial independence, recognition, and—if they climbed high enough—that famous pink Cadillac. But.... behind the makeup parties and “girl power” sales pitch, DID Mary Kay create a revolutionary path to female empowerment? Or did she prey on her own sales force and help perfect the highly manipulative and exploitative multi-level marketing machine that would leave countless aspiring entrepreneurs buried in unsold inventory and broken promises?

Why doesn't she just leave?  It's a question survivors of domestic abuse hear again and again. But it places the focus in entirely the wrong place.  Laura interviews Grace Stuart, survivor and host of Why She Stayed podcast, to examine how coercive control can develop gradually - and why it can be so difficult to recognise when you're living inside it.  Grace was just 20 when she met her former partner, who was 14 years older. What initially felt intense and intoxicating became a complex spider's web of grooming, manipulation and control.  Grace shares how apparent honesty and vulnerability built trust, while her boundaries were crossed incrementally and each violation explained away. Laura unpacks the pattern: the love bombing, age and power imbalance, gaslighting, isolation, sexual coercion and the gradual erosion of Grace's trust in her own instincts.  They also explore how addiction became an explanation for behaviour that Grace did not yet have the language to identify as domestic abuse.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Grooming, love bombing and accelerated intimacy   Age and power imbalances   Boundary testing and incremental erosion   Gaslighting and self-doubt   Isolation and dependency   Sexual coercion and violence   Addiction versus abusive behaviour   Why recognising the pattern matters   The question isn't why did she stay? It's what did he do that made staying make sense?  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast     More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram      Clip     https://fb.watch/Jgz69E5Y1u/  Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

Gary, Alan & Micah get stuck into the Premier League weekend as Xabi Alonso's Chelsea continued to impress with a 4-3 win over Brighton, with Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer starring in front of the watching Carlo Ancelotti and Thomas Tuchel. Spurs may have spent over £300m in the summer but they continue to struggle as Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle did a number on them on Saturday, plus we saw Manchester City really kick into gear at Palace, and there are concerns for Liverpool who remain winless after the 2-2 draw with Forest. The boys also discussed Manchester United's 5-2 hammering of Ipswich which featured the first proper VAR controversy of the season with Harry Maguire's handball in the buildup to what was a pivotal moment in the match. And did we see an early relegation six pointer at Coventry? It's two from two for Hull City but how long can it last? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What if the reason you don't feel confident isn't that you lack ability, but because you've stopped noticing the evidence of how capable you really are?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by confidence expert and UPFRONT founder Lauren Currie to explore why so many mothers struggle to recognise their value—and the simple weekly practice that can help rebuild confidence and quieten your inner critic.Lauren explains why confidence isn't something you either have or don't have. It's a skill that can be strengthened by gathering real evidence of your progress, achievements and abilities. This is known as the “progress principle”: recording the things you've done, learned and handled well so that self-doubt can't simply dismiss them.They also explore why this matters beyond paid work. Motherhood develops valuable skills, but mothers rarely receive recognition or positive feedback for them. By actively noticing how you have grown, from handling a difficult moment more calmly to managing situations that once overwhelmed you, you can begin to change the story you tell yourself about who you are and what you're capable of.Lauren also shares the simple ten-minute Friday ritual she uses to build confidence, recognise her progress and quieten the feeling that nothing she achieves is ever quite enough.

Growth sounds exciting—more clients, more classes, a bigger team, maybe even another location. But if your fitness studio already feels chaotic, growth won't fix the problem. It'll simply make the chaos bigger.

Then day 31, one thing goes wrong, and it's like none of it happened — the past comes back, everything gets stacked up, and out it comes: "nothing I do is ever good enough."Cass used to say it constantly. In Ep477 he explains why it's the single most self-defeating sentence you can say to your partner — and why it isn't the confession you think it is.
