How do you know when to pause… and when to push? In this episode, I'm talking about something so many women struggle with—giving themselves permission in hard seasons of life. When you're overwhelmed, burned out, caregiving, dealing with hormone changes, anxiety, or chronic stress, the rules you used to live by don't always apply anymore. I break down how to tell the difference between: when your nervous system truly needs rest, regulation, and compassion, and when a gentle push forward is actually the most supportive thing you can do. You'll also learn about the soothe–danger ratio—a powerful framework that explains why you can be doing "all the right things" and still feel anxious, exhausted, inflamed, or stuck. Most symptoms aren't about one stressor—they're about the balance between signals of safety and signals of threat in your daily life. In this episode, we cover: Why giving yourself permission feels so hard (and why it's not a willpower issue) How to recognize the signs that it's time to pause vs. time to push What "pausing" actually looks like (without guilt or quitting) What healthy "pushing" looks like (without burnout or pressure) The difference between soothing inputs and danger inputs Practical, real-life examples you can apply immediately If you've been feeling overwhelmed, dysregulated, or unsure of what your body actually needs, this episode will help you listen more clearly—without judgment.

Why do successful people feel the most overwhelmed during the holidays? You've built something impressive, you're capable of managing complex projects and leading teams, yet the moment the holidays arrive, you're barely hanging on. You're over-functioning for everyone else, saying yes when you mean no, and by the time you collapse into bed, your mind won't stop racing about everything you still need to do tomorrow. Who is Sara Intonato? Sara Intonato is the founder of Autism Changemakers, a parent coach, consultant, and bestselling author. She's also been a yoga teacher and nervous system practitioner for over 20 years. Her work is rooted in ancient, time-tested practices from her 11 trips to India to study Ashtanga yoga, supporting parents of nonspeaking autistic children to regulate their nervous systems in high-stakes moments where safety is a concern and regulation isn't optional. Sara's Story: Why Ancient Practices Matter in Our Instant Gratification World Sara took her first trip to India in her early 20s thinking she'd have a beautiful spiritual experience and get it out of her system. Instead, she discovered that to truly master something, there's no shortcut. You can't buy a certificate or complete a weekend training. You have to show up day after day, year after year, and let the practice change you. What makes Sara different from the trendy breathwork facilitators flooding the coaching space is her commitment to teaching these practices properly. In India, she learned that advanced breathwork practices were withheld from students until they had a strong foundation because introducing them too soon would be "crazy making." They would move energy around so profoundly that students wouldn't be able to manage it. This is exactly what Sara sees happening now in mainstream wellness culture. Coaches are throwing breathwork into their programs after minimal training, parents and professionals are trying to release trauma without knowing how to regulate what comes up, and people are more dysregulated than ever. Sara brings these ancient tools to her clients and students in bite-sized pieces that are safe and effective for all levels, because who needs more chaos in their life right now? What we talk about in this episode: Why the holidays trigger grief and overwhelm for high achievers. It's not just about being busy. The holidays stir up emotions that feel inconvenient, whether it's comparing your reality to what you thought life would look like, dealing with family dynamics that activate old wounds, or simply the pressure to make everything magical while you're running on fumes. This episode normalizes that you can feel successful and still struggle during this season. The one-minute breathing practice that will ground you anywhere, anytime. Equal breathing through the nose (four counts in, four counts out) for just one minute is enough to shift your nervous system from reactive to regulated. No special equipment, no mantras, no perfect conditions required. Sara explains exactly how to do this practice and why engaging your throat slightly (like you're gargling) activates your vagus nerve and creates deeper regulation. Why you can't help anyone when you're dysregulated. Sara works with parents managing aggressive behaviors and safety concerns with their children. The homework is always the same: regulate yourself first. When you're dysregulated, you escalate everyone around you. When you ground yourself, you create space for co-regulation. This applies whether you're parenting, leading a team, or trying to survive Christmas dinner with your in-laws. The ice cube trick that interrupts spiraling thoughts instantly. When you can't escape the room or take a minute to breathe, grab some ice cubes. Hold them for one minute. The intense sensation forces you into presence because you literally can't think about anything else. It's a pattern interrupt that brings you back to your body so you can respond instead of react. How to train your mind to concentrate using Zen Buddhist meditation. Set a timer for five minutes and count each breath (inhale one, exhale two, up to ten, then start over). Every time your mind wanders to Aunt Patty's comment or your to-do list, go back to one and start again. Don't be surprised if you don't get past two. This isn't about perfection, it's about observing where your mind goes without judgment and teaching it to concentrate on one thing: your breath. Why reactivity is destroying our ability to make good decisions. We live in an Amazon Prime culture where everything is instant. But this reactivity is getting in the way of our functioning. We think every thought and feeling requires immediate action. This practice teaches your nervous system that it's okay to sit with discomfort, to not scratch the itchy nose, to let your foot fall asleep during meditation. Everything will pass. You won't die from waiting. The real reason you can't feel holiday magic (and it's not the circumstances). Holiday magic is just presence. That's it. But how can you possibly enjoy being here now when your mind is in five different places? Sara shares how she creates magic by putting on Christmas music, baking, and allowing herself to just be in the moment because life will be plenty busy in January. The magic isn't external fairy dust, it's choosing to be present. What your kids will actually remember about this season. It's not how many vegetables they ate or how organized the gift wrapping was. They'll remember how you felt. Your energy is what people experience from you. If you're emanating stress and overwhelm, that's what everyone will carry from their interactions with you. The quality of your life, your relationships, your work changes drastically when you take the time to regulate yourself. This episode is for you if you've ever: Felt like you're barely hanging on through the holidays, one comment away from snapping Snapped at your kids or partner after a long day, then felt guilty for not being present Numbed with food, wine, or scrolling because slowing down feels uncomfortable Thought "I don't have time for mindfulness or nervous system practices" Believed meditation and breathwork are too complicated or not for people like you Been the strong one everyone leans on while you're quietly crumbling inside Said yes to holiday commitments when you meant no because it feels easier Collapsed into bed exhausted but your mind won't stop racing about tomorrow Wondered "how much longer can I keep this up?" Known you should take better care of yourself but always run out of time and energy Built a life people admire but feel like you're missing the magic everyone else seems to experience Felt reactive and stressed, robbing yourself and your family of presence and connection How to Stop Being Reactive and Start Being Present Here's what most people miss about nervous system regulation: they think it requires complicated practices, special training, or hours of time they don't have. So they do nothing. They stay in reactivity, they over-function for everyone else, and they wonder why the holidays feel so overwhelming instead of magical. But Sara's work proves that regulation doesn't require perfection or massive time investments. It requires one minute. Four counts in, four counts out. Ice cubes in your hands when you can't escape the room. Counting your breath when your mind is spinning. The cost of staying dysregulated isn't just that you feel stressed. It's that your children remember mom as a ball of stress. Your colleagues remember your overwhelm, not your competence. Your partner experiences your reactivity, not your love. You rob yourself of the presence and connection you're craving because you think you don't have time to regulate. Ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling present? If you're reading this and recognizing yourself, if you've been running on fumes for so long that you don't even remember what regulated feels like, it's time to stop. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning and reactivity, the wounds driving your need to be strong for everyone else, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about understanding why you keep saying yes when you mean no, why you can't give yourself permission to rest, and what needs to shift so you can finally stop running and start being present.

Will AI kill your job?What happens to your job as AI gets smarter and companies keep laying people off even while profits rise? Will you still have a job? Will the job you have change beyond recognition?Scary questions, no?In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Nikki Barua, co-founder of Footwork and longtime founder, executive, and resiliency expert, to unpack what work really looks like in the age of AI.Layoffs are no longer just about economic downturns. Companies are growing, innovating, and still cutting staff, often because AI is enabling more output with less capacity. So what does that mean for you?Nikki argues the future doesn't belong to those who simply “learn AI tools,” but to agentic humans: people who lead with uniquely human strengths and use AI to amplify their impact. This conversation explores:• Why today's layoffs are different from past cycles• How AI is compressing jobs before creating new ones• What it means to move from doing work to directing outcomes• Why identity, curiosity, and agency matter more than certifications• How to rethink workflows instead of chasing shiny AI tools• The FLIP framework: Focus, Leverage, Influence, and PowerThis episode isn't about fear. It's about reinvention. If you're wondering how to stay relevant, valuable, and resilient as AI reshapes work, this is the place to start.GuestNikki BaruaCo-founder, Footwork(Reinventing organizations with agentic AI)

SummaryChris Ford, Lead Designer at Refine Labs, shares how creative professionals can harness AI without compromising artistic integrity. Speaking to an audience navigating the rapid shift toward automation in design and marketing, Ford clarifies that tools like Midjourney and Runway are accelerators—not replacements—for real strategic thinking. His journey from teen coder to strategic designer reveals the mindset shift creatives must adopt to thrive in a performance-driven, AI-infused landscape. This episode demystifies AI's impact on modern B2B marketing workflows while reinforcing the value of human empathy, nuance, and storytelling.Topics CoveredAI as a creative partner in modern B2B marketingCreative strategy in a performance-first demand gen environmentHow Refine Labs designers adapt AI for speed, not shortcutsBrand storytelling vs. AI outputCreative autonomy and process efficiencyFree and paid AI tools for image and motion designNavigating the psychological shift toward automationThe future of human creativity in AI-saturated workflowsStrategic experimentation and creative boundariesQuestions This Video Helps AnswerHow are B2B creatives using AI tools like Midjourney and Runway today?What's the right mindset for using AI in design without losing creative control?Where should human creativity draw the line with AI-generated content?What tools help accelerate creative workflows without sacrificing originality?How should creatives adapt to AI without fearing job replacement?What is the future of creative work in AI-augmented environments?Jobs, Roles, and Responsibilities MentionedGraphic DesignerCreative StrategistPerformance MarketerContent CreatorVisual DesignerCopywriterMarketing TechnologistBrand StrategistAI Prompt Engineer (implied role)Key TakeawaysAI accelerates design iteration but doesn't replace creative judgment or empathy.Tools like Midjourney, Runway, and ChatGPT help visualize concepts quickly and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.Refine Labs designers use AI to test ideas faster, not to generate final creative without human input.The "line" of AI involvement depends on complexity, originality, and personal creative ethics.Being strategic with experimentation ensures AI enhances—rather than dilutes—brand quality.The coming shift isn't AI vs. humans, but AI with humans who adapt and lead.FAQWhat AI tools does Chris Ford use most in his creative workflow?Midjourney for image generation, Runway for animation, and ChatGPT for ideation and refining language.Is AI replacing creative jobs in B2B marketing?Not directly. Ford explains that AI requires human oversight and strategy, making creatives who adapt more valuable—not obsolete.How does Refine Labs integrate AI in its design process?By using AI to accelerate idea generation and reduce manual work, while keeping creative direction and brand storytelling in human hands.Are there free AI tools creatives can explore?Yes. Midjourney offers a limited free trial, and tools like Google Gemini are free. Search “AI tools” with “free” in quotes to discover more.What's the biggest creative challenge when using AI?Time lost on prompt engineering and editing outputs. Not all tools produce high-quality or precise results, so human refinement is still essential.Quoted Highlights“AI gives me the options, but my creativity gives me the direction.” – Chris Ford [00:09:11]“It's not just pixels—it's purpose.” – Chris Ford [00:22:30]“I never saw AI as a threat. I saw it as a collaborative tool.” – Chris Ford [00:05:12]“Strategic thinking without AI is still my foundation. These tools just optimize my workflow.” – Chris Ford [00:24:10]“If you want AI-created results, you need to be okay with AI-level quality.” – Chris Ford [00:21:02]
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, a listener named Stevie shares a chilling firsthand encounter from Rock Creek, Maryland, where unexplained Bigfoot-like whooping sounds echoed through dense woods late at night—so close that his former Marine stepfather stepped outside with a gun and later installed security cameras around the home.The sounds erupted near Rock Creek Park, just minutes from Washington DC, an area surrounded by neighborhoods, highways, and urban development. Multiple witnesses heard the same vocalizations, including neighbors and reacting dogs throughout the area.Stevie also recounts an earlier unexplained experience from Colorado's Grand Mesa, where something silently removed food from a campsite cooler and carefully arranged cans on a picnic table—behavior that didn't match known wildlife.

PwC's new training program aims to give early-career recruits hands-on experience integrating artificial intelligence tools into everyday work. The Big Four accounting and advisory firm started piloting AI immersion sessions in October, with a full rollout to new US associates slated for July. The sessions are happening across PwC's tax, assurance, and advisory business. "We truly believe that the role of the new associate will be changing with AI and that their role will become somewhat elevated, and we need to make sure that we're really training them on those skills to work and think differently," said Margaret Burke, the firmwide talent acquisition and development leader for PwC US. Like its competitors, PwC has recently funneled resources into next generation autonomous tools aimed at handling routine tasks solo. The firm said in November it shed about 150 jobs across marketing, human resources, and other US support roles as part of a longer-term effort modernizing its back-office unit, including through using new AI tools. In this week's Talking Tax, Burke and PwC US Tax Leader Krishnan Chandrasekhar sat down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons to discuss how the AI trainings have gone so far and what skills they hope new employees learn.

What if the most game-changing shift in your life is a three-letter word you've been afraid to use?In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill sit down with Jim Alling—former President of Starbucks, COO of T-Mobile USA, and CEO of TOMS—to explore how the simple word yes, paired with gritty gratitude and servant leadership, can transform the way men lead, live, and relate.Jim shares how saying yes to the right things—family, values, service, and curiosity—helped him navigate massive responsibility: tens of thousands of employees, billions in revenue, and the pressure of leading globally recognized brands. He also gets honest about the real cost of hustle culture, what burnout feels like at the top, and why the most effective leaders are often the most human.In this conversation, you'll hear:• How one mentor at Starbucks taught Jim the “power of yes”• Why he chose family and his child's health over a secure corporate path• What gritty gratitude looks like when life is hard—not polished• The difference between performative leadership and servant leadership• Why men who “have it all together” often feel empty inside• How to say yes without becoming a doormat (values, boundaries, clarity)• How humility, humor, and service kept Jim grounded across Nestlé, Starbucks, T-Mobile, and TOMSIf you're a man caught between success and burnout—or you lead people and want to make a real difference without losing your soul—this episode is for you.You'll walk away with:✅ A new understanding of yes as a doorway to purpose✅ A servant-leadership blueprint that still delivers results✅ Tools to integrate gratitude into pressure and responsibility✅ Encouragement to lead as your whole self—not just your titleSponsorPeptides for Health by Mark L.

Social anxiety is not a personality flaw, it is your nervous system doing its job a little too loudly. In this episode, we reframe awkwardness and self-consciousness as signals of alert, not evidence that something is wrong with you. If holiday parties, crowded rooms, or feeling “on” leave you tense and overthinking, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body. I walk you through seven gentle, practical tools designed to give your nervous system cues of safety so you can stay grounded and present. These are not mindset tricks or confidence hacks, they are body-based resets you can use in real time. You will learn how to quickly orient to the present moment, regulate your breath, and take micro breaks without disappearing. We talk about why food or drinks often become a coping tool in social settings and how to expand your options without judgment or restriction. You will also learn how to prepare simple connection cues so conversations feel less draining. This episode emphasizes choice, permission, and self-trust rather than forcing yourself to push through discomfort. Even using one of these tools can shift how safe your body feels. Confidence is not about being calm all the time, it is about knowing how to support yourself when you are activated. If you want to feel more at ease socially without changing who you are, this episode is for you.

Instead, Jeff Utecht and Tricia Friedman share seven thoughtfully chosen gifts for educators—each matched to a specific kind of person and a specific kind of need. Some gifts are playful.

Whether you're shopping for a colleague, a school leader, a family member, or yourself, this episode helps you gift with attention, care, and intention.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Bob shares a terrifying firsthand encounter that haunted him for over 50 years. In 1972 near Westerville, Ohio, a teenage walk along railroad tracks and wooded clearings turned into a life-altering nightmare when Bob came face to face with two massive Bigfoot-like beings.What began as a quiet nighttime trip quickly escalated when one creature stood upright in a clearing under a full moon—and another, far larger, charged from the woods, crashing through trees and paralleling Bob all the way back to the road. Bob describes the encounter as intelligent, intentional, and deeply aggressive, leaving him with lasting PTSD, fear of the woods, and decades of silence.Listener Disclaimer:This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, and suicidal thoughts.

In this episode, Dr. Jono Taves breaks down the most common headache and migraine relief tools people buy for home use—especially around the holidays. From ice caps and nerve stimulation devices to neck massagers, traction units, and specialty pillows, he explains how each category works, what kind of relief it can realistically provide, and where its limitations lie.Dr. Taves organizes these tools into clear categories, helping listeners understand which devices temporarily reduce pain signals, which relax muscles, and which may actually support better neck function. He also shares his professional recommendations based on treating thousands of headache and migraine patients, emphasizing an important takeaway: while many tools can be helpful, most do not address the root cause of recurring headaches.This episode is designed to help you spend your money wisely, set realistic expectations, and understand how at-home tools fit into a bigger, long-term solution for headaches and migraines.Novera: Headache Center
I started my Christmas vacation the minute my kids got out of school. I can do that because I've built a business that doesn't chain me to my desk. But if I'm being honest, I don't take those two weeks off just to bake cookies and watch movies—I use that downtime to make next year even better.When the house is quiet, I run a full self-assessment on my business to figure out how I can further improve my processes, workflows, and systems. Think of it like a required annual car inspection for your business. You might uncover some unwanted "bills," but fixing small issues now prevents massive breakdowns later.In this solo episode, I'm walking you through the three crucial things I review before the new year: Tools, Workflows, and Systems. I'll share how a tools assessment saved a client more than she paid me for coaching, the three use cases I have for my writing apps, and the single bottleneck I look for to make sure my team is running smoothly. This isn't about adding more work; it's about strategically refining what you already do to create more space and impact in the coming year.*Want to do this self-assessment?

Unser heutiger Gast startete nach dem Studium der Oecotrophologie zunächst als Produktmanagerin in der Süßwarenindustrie. Später baute sie digitale Marketingstrategien bei OTTO, bonprix und Achtung! auf und entwickelte schließlich bei Google datengetriebene YouTube-Kampagnen für Marken wie Mercedes, Vodafone oder L'Oréal. Doch dann kam der Moment, an dem sie sich eine andere Frage stellte: Was ist eigentlich mit den Themen, über die niemand spricht, obwohl sie jede zweite Person betreffen? Mit Anfang 40 bemerkte sie erste körperliche Veränderungen. Jahre später, inzwischen mit einer beeindruckenden Karriere im Rücken, stellte sie fest: Niemand hatte sie auf die Wechseljahre vorbereitet. Nicht in der Schule, nicht im Studium, nicht im Job. Und so gründete sie NOBODYTOLDME, eine Plattform, die das Tabu rund um die Menopause bricht und Frauen mit fundiertem Wissen, Produkten und Tools durch diese wichtige Lebensphase begleitet. Heute bezeichnet sie sich selbst augenzwinkernd als Chief Menopause Officer und bringt ein Thema in die Arbeitswelt, das bislang viel zu oft ignoriert wird. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie findet man den Mut,, mit über 40 noch einmal ganz neu anzufangen, für ein Thema, das man vorher kaum kannte? Warum ist die Menopause nicht längst auch ein Leadership- und Transformationsthema und nicht nur ein medizinisches? Was muss sich ändern, damit Frauen in der Mitte ihres Lebens nicht zwischen Hot Flashes und Karriere ausbrennen, sondern aufblühen können? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

This one feels like the end of a long day in the shop. Tools put away, lights still warm, and a moment to look back before stepping forward. In the final Concrete Podcast of 2025, Jon and Brandon slow things down with a little gratitude for the makers, craftsmen, and artisans who have carried this craft forward, some for years, some just finding their footing. If you have ever mixed a batch late at night, chased a finish that mattered, or stood behind your work when it would have been easier to walk away, this episode is for you. The heart of the conversation centers on something many in decorative concrete avoid talking about, resealing and rejuvenating concrete sinks and countertops. Not as a weakness, but as an opportunity. An opportunity to serve past clients well, protect the reputation of concrete as a material, and build a steady, honest revenue stream that fits naturally into a craftsman's business. Whether you cast the original piece or not, this is work that keeps concrete in a good light and keeps you in front of people who already believe in it. They also tackle a question that never seems to go away, how to make the blackest concrete possible. Brandon shares a recent sample that demanded true depth and richness, breaking down what actually moves the needle and what is just noise. This episode is a thank you, a reflection, and a practical roadmap. A reminder that doing the right work, with the right tools, builds trust that carries into the next year and the next project. Here's to closing out 2025 strong and stepping into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and concrete that lasts. #ConcretePodcast #MakersMindset #Craftsmanship #ConcreteLife #CreativeBusiness #ArtisanStories #BuildingBetter #GrowthThroughWork #LegacyCraft #SelfDevelopment
Send us a textIn this session, Richard C. Wilson breaks down the six must-have assets almost every capital raiser is missing, and how to show up like an institutional-quality professional instead of “just another deal.”Here are the 6 must-haves he covers:Unique position – a clearly defined, memorable niche so investors know exactly where you fit and why you're different.One-line capital-raising pitch – a single sentence with 3 data points explaining what you do, why people trust you, and the value you add.Founder video – a short, authentic video that builds trust, shows who you are, and briefly walks through what your company actually does.Visual one-pager – a simple, scan-friendly one page that an investor can understand between the gate and their airplane seat.Concise pitch deck – ideally 10–15 pages (or under 25 pages) that investors will really read, with the detail pushed to a data room instead of a 44-page info dump.Due diligence data room – organized documents plus a master DDQ and background check ready to go so serious investors can dig in quickly.Richard also shares why:– Relationships drive investment decisions more than IRR projections– Consistent, niche content (talks, videos, articles, etc.) makes you locally, then nationally known– Tools like CRMs, AI call transcription, outbound dialers, and even old-school direct mail can dramatically improve your investor follow-up– Protecting your time, saying no, and moving fast are common patterns among the most successful family offices and foundersIf you're raising capital or advising portfolio companies, this talk gives you a practical checklist for becoming investor-ready and upgrading the quality of the conversations you're having.Learn more at https://familyoffices.com/ for events, investor club memberships, and capital-raising tools.https://familyoffices.com/

Breweries are being bombarded with promises about what AI can do—automate your marketing, write your contracts, even predict your next big seller. But in a highly regulated and deeply human business like craft beer, not all automation is worth the risk.In this session, alcohol law attorney John Szymankiewicz and fractional marketing strategist Madeline McMahon will walk attendees through real-world examples of how AI tools like ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and Prompt Cowboy can enhance—but not replace—your existing systems.From AI-generated marketing strategies that miss the mark on brand voice, to contract templates that ignore state-specific compliance requirements, attendees will learn where AI helps and where human judgment still matters. We'll explore prompt engineering, compare AI- vs. human-reviewed content, and highlight simple ways small teams can experiment with these tools while avoiding common pitfalls.This session is designed for brewery owners, taproom managers, and in-house marketing leads who are curious about AI but don't want to be burned by generic outputs. Whether you're using AI today or just trying to decide if it's worth your time, this session will equip you with smarter questions to ask—and clearer boundaries to draw.Let's cut through the hype and show you how to work with AI, not for it.Madeline McMahon, Fractional Marketing Strategist and founder of Madeline Fleehart Consulting, drives small business growth with practical, results-focused marketing strategies.

If you've been saying, “I just want to heal,” or “I just want to feel like myself again,” this episode is your loving wake-up call: those phrases are too vague to carry you where you want to go. Healing happens faster—and feels safer—when you get specific about what you're actually birthing next. In this episode, Lora opens with a powerful 4-minute “next-level you” practice designed to shift your energy from surviving to creating. Then she breaks down why “I just want to heal” often keeps you stuck—and how to replace it with clear, embodied direction. You'll learn how to define what healing means for you (peace of mind, confidence, boundaries, financial stability, emotional safety), how to create the structure that makes success almost inevitable, and how to stay flexible when life pivots. Plus, Lora shares a real-life story about preparing to attend a funeral where her husband's former affair partner may be present—and how conscious planning creates safety, connection, and dignity. Top 3 Takeaways The universe—and your nervous system—respond to specificity. “I want to heal” becomes powerful when you define what healing looks like in real life: fewer obsessive thoughts, better sleep, stronger boundaries, emotional regulation, self-trust. You don't have to control the outcome to direct your life. Some desires need “hard-no” boundaries; others need “surprise party energy” where you stay open to support arriving in unexpected forms. Structure creates success. Goals aren't just wishes—they're supported by plans: the right people, tools, rehearsed responses, and simple tracking that helps you notice progress (and adjust when something isn't working).

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, we travel to rural Ontario, Canada where a witness describes a terrifying close-range Sasquatch encounter in the dead of winter.While standing alone near a frozen lake, swamp, and forest edge, the witness realizes he is no longer alone. What followed was complete silence broken by heavy breathing, grunting, and footsteps in deep snow, coming from a massive creature estimated to be 8 to 12 feet tall—less than ten yards away. Unable to see it in the darkness, he could hear it breathe before it suddenly ran through three feet of snow and ice with human-like strides, crashing through the frozen forest.The encounter didn't end there. In the months that followed, the witness reports strange owl-like vocalizations, suspected Sasquatch mimicry, and a growing sense that these beings may be intelligent, patient, and deeply connected to the land. The conversation also explores sightings near the Mississippi Lake and River system, swamp habitats, wildlife feeding patterns, and why Sasquatch encounters are often reported near wetlands and remote conservation areas.
