What the fuck is a "meaningful relationship" anyway?We use phrases like meaningful relationship, substantial time, shared care, attachment and best interests so often in separated-parenting conversations that sometimes we stop asking what they actually mean.And that matters, because somewhere along the way, "children benefit from healthy relationships with both parents" can quietly become "children need equally strong relationships with both parents" - and then "more parenting time creates a 'better relationship' ."But are those actually the same proposition?In Episode 2 of When Children Resist or Refuse Danielle explores the assumptions hiding inside familiar family-law and separated-parenting language.We look at the difference between a parenting arrangement and a parent-child relationship; why attachment and relationship history cannot be reduced to a percentage of nights; what research can - and cannot - tell us about quantity of parenting time; and why a child can love a parent without wanting to live with them for a particular amount of time.We also ask a question that will keep appearing throughout this series:Are we protecting the relationship - or are we protecting the parenting schedule?Because a Court can allocate parenting time. It cannot allocate emotional intimacy.And apparently the sophisticated critical-thinking methodology for this entire discussion is now:TABLE. Stop. Define the fucking thing.This episode also continues the countdown to the Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ turning ONE on 27 September 2026, with more information about the birthday celebration and limited-time offer coming soon.This podcast provides general educational information and is not a substitute for legal advice or individual coaching specific to your circumstances.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

This talk will make you rethink everything you've been taught about attracting real love. In this special episode, down again with Christine Hassler—Spiritual Psychologist, Master Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, and a Best-selling Author who doesn't do surface-level—nor do I. Together we get into why women get so exhausted searching for love, why being told you're 'too much in your masculine' almost always means something else entirely, and why desire itself was never the problem—attachment is.Christine breaks down her theory of magnetism, the difference between an expectation and a desire, the important connection between inner child work and relationships, and the real meaning of being called "intimidating." We also get into her own love story, fawning as a hidden trauma response, and her upcoming Love Magnet workshop with her husband, Stefanos. In This Episode:Why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted in their search for loveThe difference between being in your masculine and being in hypervigilanceWhy desire isn't the problem — attachment to outcome isHow family of origin and inner child patterns shape who we're drawn toThe difference between an expectation and a true desireWhat fawning looks like in relationships, and how to recognize it in yourselfI loved every minute of this conversation with Christine. I am so excited for you to listen to this one, AND if you feel called, come join her extraordinary FREE LIVE WORKSHOP with her husband, Stefanos Sifandos. You never know what saying YES will offer your relationship with yourself—and to your love life.

What does it actually mean when a child says they don't want to spend time with the other parent?In the first episode of our new series, When Children Resist or Refuse: Why don't they want to go?, Danielle Black unpacks one of the most difficult - and most misunderstood - issues in post-separation parenting: children who resist or refuse time with a parent.Because a child's refusal tells us that something is happening. It does not, by itself, tell us why.Is the child frightened? Is the parenting arrangement simply too much for them? Are they struggling with transitions, neurodivergence or sensory overload? Was the relationship with the other parent ever particularly strong? Has something happened to rupture it? Could family violence, coercive control, harmful parenting or boundary violations be relevant? Is the preferred parent contributing to the problem? Could there be alignment issues or inappropriate parental influence?And why do these cases so often collapse into the deeply inadequate binary of abuse versus parental alienation?In this episode, Danielle explores how we can move away from labels and towards something much more useful: understanding the individual child, their history, their relationships and the evidence actually in front of us.Danielle also looks at the assumption that more parenting time automatically creates a better or more "meaningful" parent-child relationship - and why the research is considerably more complicated than that.This episode also introduces the newly expanded Module 13 of The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™: When Children Resist or Refuse Contact, including substantial new research and practical frameworks for parents navigating exactly these issues.And there's some news.The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint turns ONE on 27 September 2026!

What if the fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, skin changes, or inflammation you've learned to live with are actually clues your body has been giving you for years?In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes VJ Hamilton, The Autoimmunity Nutritionist, to explore autoimmune conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, gut health, inflammation, and the role nutrition can play in supporting recovery.VJ's passion for autoimmune health began with her own journey. Diagnosed with alopecia areata at just seven years old, she later experienced psoriasis, joint problems, severe fatigue, and eventually chronic fatigue syndrome. Combined with her background in immunology and biochemistry, these experiences ultimately led her from a career as a chartered accountant into functional nutrition.Today, VJ works with clients worldwide, helping them investigate potential contributors to chronic inflammation and autoimmune symptoms.Dana and VJ take a closer look at rheumatoid arthritis, how it differs from age-related arthritis, and why symptoms such as fatigue, stiffness, joint discomfort, headaches, digestive concerns, skin changes, gum inflammation, and foot pain may deserve deeper investigation.They also explore the connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and immune function, including how microbiome imbalances, nutrient depletion, digestive health, stress, and environmental exposures may influence overall immune health.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How VJ's personal autoimmune journey shaped her careerWhat vasculitis is and why autoimmune conditions can be complexWhy rheumatoid arthritis should not simply be dismissed as agingWhy fatigue may appear early in autoimmune conditionsCommon signs of inflammation worth paying attention toThe possible connection between oral bacteria and rheumatoid arthritisWhy gut health is central to VJ's functional approachHow nutrition and nutrient density can support recoveryBlood markers such as CRP, hs-CRP, ferritin, and ANA to discuss with your providerFunctional testing including stool testing, DUTCH hormone testing, organic acids testing, and food sensitivity assessmentConnect with VJ HamiltonWebsite: theautoimmunitynutritionist.comInstagram: @theautoimmunitynutritionistReady to Understand Your Own Health Story?If you're experiencing persistent fatigue, inflammation, digestive changes, hormone concerns, breast health changes, or symptoms that simply don't feel like “you,” it may be time to look deeper.For support with hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness, visit DanaIrvine.com and book a Health Clarity Call.autoimmunity, autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune nutritionist, functional medicine, functional nutrition, chronic fatigue, gut health, gut microbiome, inflammation, women's health, autoimmune symptoms, nutrition for autoimmunity, holistic healing, autoimmune recovery, chronic inflammation, oral health and autoimmunity, long COVID, menopause and autoimmunity, functional medicine testing

Is nine nights/five nights becoming the new default parenting arrangement after Australia's 2024 family law reforms? Danielle Black examines the rise of 9/5 recommendations in family reports and final outcomes, why mathematical ‘balance' is not the same as a child-focused assessment, and what protective parents should ask when expert recommendations do not clearly connect the evidence to the proposed parenting schedule. This episode explores equal parenting time, attachment, child development, family violence, report writers, expert evidence and the difference between a recommendation and a court order.This podcast provides general educational information and is not a substitute for legal advice or individual coaching specific to your circumstances.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

I welcomed one of my hero authors, Michael Morpurgo, and his wife Clare, to Highclere Castle to talk about storytelling, history, the magic of reading, and the extraordinary charity they founded together — Farms for City Children.Michael shared how War Horse came to life and why understanding the First World War matters more than ever today. We recalled the unforgettable day Joey, the National Theatre's War Horse puppet, came to Highclere in 2014 — walking through the very library where Almina, my predecessor, had nursed soldiers back from the trenches a century before.Michael told the wonderful story behind Farms for City Children — how Clare, a childhood afternoon let loose near a Devon farm, courtesy of her father Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, sparked a lifetime's passion for the countryside, and how that passion became a charity that has given over 120,000 inner-city children a week of real farm life.We explored the importance of books and reading, handwriting, the friendship with Ted Hughes, the honest editorial partnership between Michael and Clare, and my own plans for a Highclere Literary Festival this October.We ended with Michael's dream summer evening guest: the radiant Audrey Hepburn.00:00 Welcome & Introduction02:10 War Horse & Joey Comes to Highclere06:30 History, World War I & Why It Still Matters13:15 The Origins of Farms for City Children21:45 A Real Farm — Not a Pretend Farm28:00 Highclere: Farm, History & the Fifth Earl33:20 The Power of Reading & the Literary Festival38:10 Writing by Hand, Ted Hughes & the iPad44:00 Editing, Marriage & Telling the Truth49:30 Dream Party Guest: Audrey HepburnTopics CoveredWar Horse & HighclereThe origins of War Horse and why Michael believes we must understand history to navigate the presentLady Carnarvon recalls the day Joey, the War Horse puppet from the National Theatre, came to Highclere in 2014 to mark the centenary of World War IHighclere Castle served as a real military hospital during World War I — Lady Carnarvon's predecessor, Almina, nursed soldiers back from the trenchesThe contrast with the fictional Downton Abbey and the very real human stories preserved in letters at HighclereHistory, War & ResponsibilityMichael reflects on why the First World War is so important — and how it directly caused the SecondThe role of individuals and political movements in triggering conflict, from Sarajevo to the rise of HitlerWhy Michael feels it is "timely" to revisit these lessons today, given the state of the worldSeeing War Horse in the theatre the night before recording — and what it still means to himFarms for City ChildrenClare's childhood inspiration: sent outside to explore as a young girl near a Devon farm, she fell in love with the countryside, animals, and the rhythm of rural lifeHer father, Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books, instilled a love of the natural worldWhy Clare and Michael left teaching after realising they weren't reaching the children who needed them mostHow the charity started with one Victorian farmhouse in Devon and has since grown to multiple working farmsOver 120,000 children have now spent a week on a real farm — milking cows, feeding lambs, grooming horses, doing genuine workMeeting former "farm children" now aged 45 with families of their own, who say the experience never left themHighclere Today — A Living EstateFarming records at Highclere dating back to the 16th century;

When parenting arrangements cannot be agreed upon, many protective parents believe they have only two options: give in to what the other parent is demanding or begin family court proceedings.But those are not the only paths available.In this episode, Senior Coach Brigid Morgan shares her lived experience of navigating shared-care parenting without formal court orders in a high-conflict post-separation dynamic. She explores the certainty parents may hope court orders will provide, what orders can and cannot realistically achieve, and how a workable arrangement may sometimes be maintained through established care patterns, clear communication boundaries, parallel parenting and careful documentation.Danielle then joins the conversation to address one of the most difficult questions protective parents face: what happens when the other parent refuses to agree to arrangements or safeguards that you believe are necessary for your children?Together, Danielle and Brigid discuss:Why parenting orders are not always the “golden ticket” they can appear to beThe false choice between acquiescing and immediately commencing court proceedingsParenting plans, established arrangements and the importance of 'status quo' precedentsParallel parenting when collaboration is neither safe nor realisticProtective measures that may be implemented without court ordersHolding firm when faced with anger, accusations or threats of legal actionThe difference between avoiding conflict and protecting your childrenSituations in which formal orders and urgent legal advice may be necessaryThis episode is not an argument against parenting orders. It is an invitation to question the assumption that court is automatically the only alternative when agreement cannot be reached - and to understand that parenting without orders does not necessarily mean parenting without boundaries, structure or protection.This podcast provides general educational information and is not a substitute for legal advice specific to your circumstances.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

25 years to learn. 40 years to earn. And if you're lucky — 13 years to yearn. Once you see that math, you can't unsee it.Session three of the Back to School (of Midlife) series. This week, Laurie lays out the three seasons of life — Learn, Earn, Yearn — on a simple timeline from zero to 80, using the average U.S. female life expectancy of 78.8 years as the anchor. The math is blunt: 25 years learning, 40 years earning, and only about 13 years left to yearn — and that's if you're lucky, since that number is actually decreasing, not increasing.She calls it one of the biggest grifts sold to high achievers: give your most vital, vibrant years to climbing the ladder, and get a shorter, less certain stretch at the end as your reward. She brings in Bill Perkins' Die With Zero and its health/time/money framing — good health and time but no money in the first third, health and money but no time in the second, and money and time but no guaranteed health in the third — to make the same point from a different angle.Then she tells the story of her Dad: retired on his 66th birthday after 48 years of work, moved back to Boise, had real, specific plans for retirement, and he never got the chance to live out those retirement dreams.The episode closes with this week's assignment: identify one thing you've been deferring to your "someday" Yearn season, and find a way to move it into your Earn season now — the same thing Laurie's doing with her own upcoming France trip.What we cover:The three seasons of life, laid out on a simple zero-to-80 timelineWhy the math changes once you use the real average life expectancy (78.8, and declining) instead of assuming a full "65 to 80"The "grift" framing — why trading your most vital years for a shorter, less certain retirement is a bad dealBill Perkins' Die With Zero and his health/time/money breakdown of the three phases of lifeWhy health is the one resource in that equation nobody can guarantee, no matter how well you planLaurie's dad's story — 48 years of work, five months of retirement, and the retirement dreams he never got toThe reframe: you don't have to wait for the Yearn season to start living like your life mattersA BEST LIFE Retreat client who moved up her own retirement date by five years after doing this workLaurie's own example: finally taking the France trip she's talked about for five years, instead of deferring it againThe "must be nice" reaction some women have when they hear about the trip — and why that reaction is worth examiningThis week's assignment: do your own version of the math, name one thing you've been deferring to "someday," and move it into your Earn season nowA preview of next week: the Curiosity, Clarity, Courage, Confidence framework — the actual mechanics of how this work happensQuotable moments"Once you see it laid out, you won't be able to unsee it.""I think this is one of the biggest grifts sold to high achievers.""Why should we spend forty to sixty hours a week at work during our most vital life years?""He got five months of his Yearn years.

Most photographers run their business one shoot at a time: land the job, deliver the work, then start chasing the next client from zero. This episode is about breaking that cycle and turning past clients into a source of steady, recurring income.Marcus and Sam cover two different ways to build repeat business into a commercial photographer's workflow, so you can pick whichever fits your client base best.The retainer model: a monthly or quarterly plan that replaces one-off invoices with a smaller, predictable monthly fee, why that figure feels more affordable to clients even though it earns you more over a year, and how it turns you into an ongoing part of a client's marketing rather than someone who shows up once and disappears.Why one big invoice costs you more than monthly ever couldThe seasonal trick that keeps clients hookedSpotting which businesses are worth pitching a retainer toThe packaging mistake that leads to scope creepThe billing habit that stops clients quietly drifting awayA no-subscription way to keep bookings rolling inWhy in-house photographer hires are good news, not badIf you've ever finished a shoot and immediately had to start hunting for the next client, this episode is the fix for that feeling.Download the free guide to Marketing and Creativity here⁠Offering Subscription Services to your clients is another way to build that same recurring income.

This is the final episode in the six-part Good Girl Contract series: Your children are not doomed by what they have experienced (and neither are you). But what happens next matters.In this episode, Danielle speaks directly to protective mothers about the work their children actually need from them: protecting while they can, modelling healthy boundaries, accepting their children's boundaries in return, and becoming a parent their children do not have to emotionally manage.This means confronting some difficult truths. Your children will eventually determine the shape of their relationship with each parent. They may continue to love, seek approval from, or maintain a connection with a parent who has caused harm. Their relationship with that parent is not yours to design - and their love for you should never depend upon managing your feelings about it.Trauma matters. It shapes our nervous systems, our relationships and our responses. But trauma cannot become an indefinite exemption from responsibility for what we transmit to our children.The work is not to become a perfect mother. It is to interrupt the Good Girl Contract so our children inherit something different.And that requires more than boundaries. Our children need to know us as a specific person - not simply as Mum, protector, organiser, provider or function. They need to know our preferences, our edges, our contradictions, our pleasures and our name.Because the Good Girl Contract was never designed merely to make girls and women "good." It was designed to make them interchangeable.This is where that transmission ends.This ends here. This ends with us.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

Have you spent years — maybe decades — building a yoga practice or physical discipline, only to reach a point where your body simply won't cooperate the way it used to?If the one thing that once grounded you, defined you, and kept you regulated is starting to slip away — this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are.My guest is Harmony Slater — one of fewer than 20 people in the world to hold the highest level Ashtanga yoga certification, earned through 15 years of immersive training in India. A certified mastery coach and breathwork trainer, Harmony has spent over 25 years helping women navigate midlife transitions, identity shifts, and the particular grief that comes when the body you've relied on starts to change.In this conversation we go deep on why the intense physical practices so many women depend on eventually stop working — and what becomes possible when they do. We explore how the nervous system learns to stay regulated under stress, why body awareness matters more than any pose you can hold, and why the present moment is the only place real choice actually lives.This one is for the high achievers, the disciplined movers, the women who built their identity around what their bodies could do — and who are now being asked to find themselves somewhere new.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your yoga practice was always about more than flexibility — and how it was quietly training your nervous system to stay regulated under discomfortWhat happens to your sense of self when the body you've relied on for control and accomplishment stops responding the way it used toThe difference between living as a human being versus a human doing — and why high achievers struggle most with this shiftWhy your thoughts aren't where you'll find the truth — and why Harmony points you to the heart and body insteadHow midlife women return to nervous system regulation without an hour and a half on the matA hand-on-heart breathing exercise you can try while you listen — a gentle way to feel into your own body awareness right nowWhy the present moment is the only place you can make a real choice — and how tracking breath and sensation gets you thereHow a two-minute breathing practice can bring your nervous system back into regulation on even the hardest daysWhat coming home to yourself actually asks of you — and why it's simpler than you thinkWhether your yoga practice, running routine, or physical identity is falling away in midlife — this conversation gives you something more portable and more permanent than any pose: a way back to yourself through breath, body, and the quiet wisdom of the present moment.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWant to try somatic work for free?

That moment became the spark for a book — and for one of the most grounded, compassionate conversations about AI and human value in the workplace you'll ever hear. In this episode of Undiscovered Entrepreneur: Get Across the Start Line, David Dean — author of An Inbox Between Us and self-described Business AI Realist — joins Skoob for a deep, thoughtful conversation about what AI actually means for real people at every level of an organization. Not the hype. Not the doomsaying. The real relationship between humans and AI — and why getting that relationship right is the defining challenge of this era. What You'll Learn: Why David left large enterprise to write a book nobody else was writing — for the people nobody else was talking toThe written contract vs. the unwritten contract: how organizations actually run vs. how they say they runWhy lived experience and lived consequence are the real reasons we hire humans — and why AI can't replace thatHow AI is like the movie Multiplicity — and why your copies aren't all the sameWhy 79% of the workforce are "AI survivalists" just trying to do their jobsWhat organizational self-awareness means and why it's the competitive advantage of the AI eraHow to use AI as a behavioral mirror — analyzing patterns across client meetings, team dynamics, and organizational challengesWhy the human touch is more valuable right now, not less, precisely because of AIThe Star Trek/Scotty analogy for how AI accelerates human decision-making without replacing itWhy David calls himself a Business AI Realist — and what that means for your team or companyDavid's six-month goal: speaking engagements and becoming a go-to ground-level AI voice for enterpriseTimestamps: [00:00:00] – Introduction & Welcome[00:01:00] – David's Background: From Enterprise Tech to the AI Era[00:02:00] – The Digital Journaling That Became a Book[00:03:00] – What the Hype Gets Wrong: Talking About AI From Too High Up[00:04:30] – Why David Felt Like "a Little Guy" — and Why That Didn't Stop Him[00:06:00] – You Are an Entrepreneur If You're Helping People[00:07:00] – AI as Tool, Not Replacement: The Entrepreneur's Perspective[00:08:00] – Why Companies Hire People: Lived Experience & Lived Consequence[00:09:00] – The Written Contract vs. the Unwritten Contract[00:10:00] – The Final Human Decision: Where Accountability Must Stay[00:11:00] – AI as a Relationship: Slow Down, Figure It Out, Cultivate It[00:12:00] – The Multiplicity Model: Using AI to Duplicate and Offload Yourself[00:13:30] – Debating Yourself With AI: Devil's Advocate, Customer Perspective & Idea Extraction[00:14:30] – Friendly Candor With AI: Using It to Challenge Your Own Thinking[00:15:00] – The Behavioral Record: What Patterns in Your Data Reveal About You and Your Business[00:17:00] – When AI Tells You to Go Have a Conversation Instead[00:18:00] – Humans Are Craving Human Touch — More Now Than Ever[00:19:00] – Star Trek's Scotty Analogy: AI Accelerates Decisions Without Making Them[00:20:30] – AI Is Flawed Because It Mimics Us — and That's Okay[00:23:00] – The Pitfall He's Proud Of: Getting Kicked Around Enough to Know Who He Is[00:24:30] – Authenticity and Quiet Trust: Why People Respect How You Operate Even If They Don't Like You[00:27:00] – The Moment That Sparked the Book: A Frontline Worker in Tears[00:29:00] – The 79% AI Survivalists and Why Someone Needs to Fight for Them[00:30:30] – What the Book Covers — and Why It's Written to Resonate 10 Years From Now[00:31:30] – The Book: An Inbox Between Us — Available Now[00:34:00] – David's Six-Month Goal: Speaking Engagements & the Business AI Realist Platform[00:37:00] – How to Find David, the Book & Connect on LinkedInBook:

She had a packed chiropractic practice, 150 to 200 patient visits a week, four kids, a husband who was a pilot, and was training for Iron Man races on the weekends. From the outside, the life was finished. Complete. And then something went quiet on the inside.Dr. Laura Foster spent 25 years as a chiropractor before the gap between who she was and who she was being in her life became impossible to ignore. She'd been setting goals, hitting them, and moving straight to the next one without pausing for even 10 seconds. She'd been outrunning her life in every literal and figurative sense of the word. And when she finally stopped, what she found was not what she expected.In this episode, Laura walks us through the breakdown that became her breakthrough: the year she sat in the discomfort, asked herself the questions she'd never thought to ask, and started making 2% shifts that changed the entire trajectory of her life. She now leads breathwork, homeopathy, and retreats for women going through their own version of that same reckoning. If you've ever hit a goal and felt nothing, or built a life that looks right but doesn't feel right, this conversation is for you.What You'll Learn:Why achieving your biggest goals can make you feel worse, and what that feeling is actually pointing toThe difference between achievement and fulfillment, and why most of us have been chasing the wrong oneWhat Dr. Laura means by "the gap" between who you are and who you're being, and why closing it doesn't mean burning everything downThe 2% shift: the golf ball foot analogy that reframes what big life change actually requiresWhy Laura stopped setting goals for a year, and what she discovered when she didHow to identify your top values and actually live them, not just list themThe homeopathy story that started with two small pellets, a whale-sized pregnant woman, and a very unexpected afternoonWhat three years in Costa Rica taught her about freedom, health, and choosing your own experienceYour Next Steps:Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Shop Eversio Wellness and save 15% with code PODCAST15: https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/PODCAST15?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fall-productsTake our wellness QUIZ to find the right mushroom for you: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quiz

Send us Fan MailWhen was the last time you kept a promise to yourself that nobody else knew about?For most of my life, I couldn't have answered that question. I told people I was training for a marathon I never started. I called myself a business owner while doing none of the things business owners actually do behind the scenes. And I was broke, desperate, and nearly destitute the entire time.The money was a symptom. The disease was that I had spent years breaking promises to myself.In this solo episode of The Sign & Thrive Podcast, I unpack the half of self-love that almost nobody teaches. We hear endless advice about rest, boundaries, and protecting your peace, and I'm a fan of all of it. But there's no language at all for the kind of self-love that gets you moving toward your own dream instead of everyone else's.I've been coaching notaries for ten years, and I can count on one hand how many people said they'd focus on their business "after this season" and actually came back ready to build. I still have fingers left. This episode is about why that happens and how to break the pattern.What we cover:Why your confidence erodes without a single moment you can point toThe confidence account, and why your mind records the broken promise but never the excuseHow The Miracle Morning and the S.A.V.E.R.S. gave me a starting point when I couldn't build my own systemWhy your calendar is a ranked list of what you actually believe mattersPrioritization as a learnable skill, not a personality trait, and why nobody ever taught usHow order taker status keeps notaries reactive to rings, dings, and pingsThe three-layer system I run: weekly top three, daily big three, and my Daily Do'sFive practical ways to protect your focus time without losing responsive, fast-answer businessThe oxygen mask principle for helpers who feel selfish prioritizing themselvesIf you've been putting your dream on the back burner in the name of helping everyone else, this one is for you.Ready to build your own Daily Do's?

Attorney Jim Ruane has been in Connecticut criminal courts since 1977, and in this episode he walks you through an entire criminal case, from the moment of arrest all the way to a jury verdict.If you have never been through the system, almost none of it is obvious. What happens if you cannot post bond by 7 a.m.? What is a bail commissioner actually telling the judge about you? What is the difference between accelerated rehabilitation and the impaired driving program? What really happens during jury selection, and why does the state get two chances to address the jury while the defense gets one? Jim answers all of it in plain language, step by step, so you understand the road ahead before you are standing on it.This is the episode to hear if you want the full map: arrest and bond, arraignment and protective orders, diversionary programs, discovery and pretrial motions, plea agreements, and the order of a trial from opening statements to the reading of the verdict.In this episode:Arrest with and without a warrant, and how bond gets setWhat happens if you do not post bond by the next morningArraignment, pleas, and conditions of releaseProtective orders and why violating one is a separate crimeDiversionary programs that can lead to dismissed chargesDiscovery and the motions your lawyer can file to limit evidenceHow pretrial negotiations work and why the pretrial judge cannot preside at trialWhat a plea agreement actually commits you toThe full order of a trial, jury selection through verdictChapters:00:00 Introduction00:14 Arrest00:35 Bond04:13 Arraignment05:17 Diversionary programs07:58 Discovery09:26 Pretrial11:14 Pleas and plea agreements13:44 Trial21:15 VerdictWant to learn more?

What if the season you are in right now is not the waiting room for your calling but your actual calling?I have been sitting on this one for a while because it is personal. It is about the lie that if you do not have a publishing deal, a record deal, a charting song, or a full time income from music then you are not really doing it. That you are just a hobbyist. That you are an imposter waiting to be found out.In this episode I talk about:The imposter syndrome that crept in during my own season in NashvilleWhat happened when music became my full time income and the get to became a have toThe messages I got from all over the world when I relaunched Called to Music and what they told me about this communityWhy Paul made tents, David kept sheep and Peter kept fishing and what that means for your calling right nowWhy your calling is not on hold until your income catches upThe freedom that comes from understanding that calling is never really about the income modelIf you have ever felt like you were not quite there yet this episode is for you. Join the free Called To Music FB Community

In this episode of Spiritually Fierce, I speak with Laura Kosak, a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the forthcoming book Your Guide to AI Companions: Straight Talk from a Therapist.We explore the rapidly emerging intersection of AI and therapy, asking whether AI can truly support emotional wellbeing, what it can and cannot safely do, and how it is already reshaping relationships, spiritual life, and mental health. Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, Laura shares real-world client stories, explains what therapy actually is, and offers a nuanced view of AI as a tool that can sometimes help but can never replace a therapist or a spiritually grounded guide.In this episode:The conversation ranges from sentience, consciousness, and the unified field, toThe risks of people outsourcing big life decisions to AI, to The urgent need for education and guardrails—especially for teens—so that AI companions don't quietly become unexamined authorities in our emotional and spiritual lives. Laura also introduces the intention behind her book: to restore user agency, offer ethical, practical prompts, and teach people how to think with AI rather than be led by it.About LauraLaura Kosak is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. She holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from Alliant University and has completed rigorous postgraduate studies in the field.  Prior to opening her private practice in 2021, Laura served as an in-house therapist in several schools.

Here's a question no one in the wellness world wants you to ask - what if your gratitude practice is making you feel worse?For women with chronic illness, gratitude gets prescribed like a supplement — do it every morning, feel better. But when you sit down exhausted, flat, and not remotely thankful, and write the list anyway, your body doesn't register calm. It registers one more moment of overriding what you actually feel. And that overriding is one of the emotional patterns that fuels physical symptoms.In this mini, you'll discover:Why forcing gratitude you don't feel can have the opposite effect on your bodyHow the energy behind a practice matters more than the practice itselfOne simple shift that makes gratitude something your body actually responds toThe override we talk about today is rarely the only pattern at play. My free ChatGPT prompt takes the physical symptoms you're living with and shows you the emotional patterns underneath them in about 30 seconds — without you having to untangle any of it on your own.

You asked your doctor for help. You got your blood work. You were told everything is normal. And you walked out feeling more confused than when you walked in, because if nothing is wrong, why do you still feel terrible? In this episode, I'm walking you through every lab I use to uncover weight loss resistance, what I'm looking for on each one, and why your doctor and I can look at the exact same numbers and come to completely different conclusions.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why "your labs are normal" doesn't mean your body is functioning optimally, and the real difference between diagnosable and suboptimalWhy cutting calories below 1,500 when you're already weight loss resistant creates a brand new problem instead of a solutionWhat the DUTCH test shows us that a standard blood draw simply can't: what you're producing, how you're using it, and how you're detoxing itWhy the GI MAP is my favorite test of all, and why your gut is usually the environment your hormones are responding toThe energy conversion markers most women never get checked: vitamin D, a full iron panel, and B12Why a TSH alone is not a thyroid panel, and the five markers I want to see insteadThe blood sugar trio (fasting insulin, fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C) and why fasting insulin is the one that tells the truthWhat an abnormal lipid panel in midlife is really telling you (hint: it's almost never your red meat)Why I don't put much weight on a normal CRP when your symptoms are telling a different storyTIMESTAMPS: 01:15 Welcome to Part 3: Getting the Data 02:05 Why Your Doctor Says "Normal" and I Say "Suboptimal" 04:17 When Eating Less Stops Working (And Starts Causing Harm) 06:34 Labs End the Guesswork Spiral 08:55 Data + Belief: Why Women Shift Fast When They Can See the Why 09:45 The DUTCH Test: Hormones, Cortisol Rhythm, and Detox Pathways 13:11 The GI MAP: Gut Lining, Digestive Capacity, and the Real Story on Pathogens 15:30 Vitamin D: The Hormone Pretending to Be a Vitamin 17:41 The Full Iron Panel: Your Energy Conversion Marker 19:37 Vitamin B12 and the Gut Absorption Connection 20:40 The Full Thyroid Panel: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and Antibodies 24:22 Fasting Insulin, Fasting Glucose, and Hemoglobin A1C 26:42 The Lipid Panel: It's Blood Sugar and Muscle, Not Your Eggs 27:50 CBC, CMP, and CRP: The Foundation Check 29:05 How the Midsummer Reset Targets Low-Grade Inflammation 30:51 You're Not Crazy, Lazy, or Lacking Discipline.

Growing a church isn't usually about finding the next big idea.More often, it's about building the right systems, developing the right leaders, and creating a culture where people move from simply attending to fully engaging in the mission.In Episode 221 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sat down with Pastor Johnny for a practical coaching conversation on what it really takes to build a multiplying church—not just a well-attended one.Because every pastor eventually faces this question:"How do we move people from consuming church to owning the mission?"That question opens the door to one of the most practical leadership conversations we've had.Here are a few of the topics we unpack:Why culture is always created at the top, supported at the bottom, and lost in the middleHow to build a vision people are actually willing to give themselves toThe leadership question every pastor needs to ask: Am I worth following?A simple, scalable leadership pipeline that develops future ministry leadersThe difference between leadership circles and leadership apprenticeshipsHow to intentionally identify and develop high-capacity leadersWhy healthy church growth comes from strong processes—not just passionPractical ways to close the back door by getting more people involved in ministryWhy your volunteer teams should function more like tribes than task listsHow preparing leaders today positions your church for tomorrow's opportunitiesOne of my favorite moments from the conversation was this simple reminder:"When we dig the ditch, God gives the rain."Too many churches pray for growth without preparing for it. But when we intentionally develop leaders, strengthen our systems, and create room for people to step into ownership, we're positioning ourselves for the opportunities God wants to bring.If you're thinking about leadership development, volunteer engagement, multiplication, or the future of your church, I think this conversation will encourage you and give you several practical ideas you can implement right away.

If every diet feels harder than the last one, this episode is for you.An effective fat loss phase needs to be deliberately set up, deliberately executed and deliberately exited - because repeatedly half-dieting from the wrong place is exactly why every diet feels harder and leaves you softer, more frustrated and more likely to start again.Especially if you've been doing this for years… trying to be sensible, trying to make fat loss “balanced,” trying to find something sustainable, then somehow ending up right back at: okay, I'm uncomfortable again, I need to tighten things up.You are not the woman who needs another lecture about trying harder.You're probably already training. Thinking about protein. Watching the scale. Trying to be good. Starting again. And wondering why all that effort still doesn't seem to create the lean, strong, athletic body you actually want.In this episode, I'm digging into the part almost nobody talks about: there is an entry criteria for fat loss.Because a proper fat loss phase needs more than lower calories. It needs a body and a life that are actually set up to handle it, a strong enough training signal to protect muscle, food structure you can rely on, a defined reason for the phase, and an exit so you don't end up right back in the same yo yo dieting cycle.This is especially relevant if you're a woman over 35 or 40, you're navigating perimenopause concerns, you feel stuck between losing fat and building muscle, or you're terrified that eating more means losing control. Cos how many more times do you want to have that exact same conversation with yourself?Do you REALLY want to spend your life so fixated on losing fat, feeling restricted and like there is literally something wrong with your body for not responding how it ought toThe goal is to build a life, metabolism, training base, food structure, and body that does not need another duscomfort/panic dietOr dieting because ‘you need a goal to keep you motivated - You do not need to become better at suffering through diets. You need to become the woman who understands what her body needs, chooses the right phase, commits to it properly and knows what she is returning to afterwards.fat loss has entry criteria, a defined phase, and an exit That is how you stop starting over.find me @transformxruby on instagramApply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkDirect link to DM me on IG:https://ig.me/m/transformxrubyMichelles podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/4fN2lRXqTRdbI6GTAE601l AMYs podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/1cIHFoaFvGzrTYJd8v9sSo Leannes podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/3PeOjGKyqyEy5MS4JjcX4b Sharons podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/7jMbxS68hYYxSTJoRVjhq4 And if youre someone who;always dieting but not losingevery diet gets harderscared to eat morestuck between losing fat and building muscletraining hard but still feeling softnot lean enough to stop dietingafraid of gaining weight backdoing all the work without the payoff I'd love to be the one helping you break through all that

Dating after a divorce or significant breakup can feel confusing, exhausting, and deeply vulnerable.You may feel ready to put yourself out there- like you've spent enough time releasing your last relationship...And yet somehow, you find yourself attracting the same types of people, repeating the same dynamics, or wondering why dating still feels so hard.The truth is that most women don't struggle because they haven't learned enough dating strategies. They struggle because they haven't identified the unconscious patterns that are quietly running the show.In this episode, I share a radically different approach to dating after heartbreak - one that moves beyond surface-level advice and helps you understand what's really happening beneath your choices, attractions, and relationship experiences.We explore:Why time alone doesn't automatically heal relationship patternsThe hidden dynamics that keep women attracting the same experiences over and overHow your unconscious patterns influence who you're drawn toThe difference between genuine compatibility and familiar chemistryWhy dating can feel so discouraging when you're unknowingly operating from old woundsWhat it actually means to prepare for healthy loveWhether you're newly divorced, healing from a breakup, or have been single for years, this conversation will help you see dating through an entirely new lens.Because finding love isn't about becoming more desirable.It's about becoming more conscious.Ready to Go Deeper?I want to personally invite you to join me for my 3-Day Expanded Love Masterclass.For over 15 years, I've helped women uncover the hidden patterns that sabotage love, fulfillment, confidence, and the life they truly desire.The reality is that most women don't realize their patterns are leading. They think their circumstances are the problem. They think they need a better dating app, more confidence, more healing, or a different strategy.But what if the thing standing between you and the love you want isn't outside of you at all?Inside the Expanded Love Masterclass, I'll be teaching the 5 unconscious relationship archetypes that sabotage women from creating the extraordinary relationships and lives they're meant to experience.You'll discover:Why you keep repeating the same relationship dynamicsThe unconscious behaviours that block intimacy, connection, and loveHow your patterns show up in dating, relationships, work, friendships, and lifeWhat it takes to step into a new way of relating to yourself and othersHow to move from surviving love to truly experiencing itThis isn't about fixing yourself. It's about finally seeing what has been running your life behind the scenes. Because when your patterns stop leading, everything changes.Join me June 19–218:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific dailyLive on ZoomLINK TO REGISTER: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/offers/fwvzFt24?coupon_code=EXPANDXOOR the original link with : DISCOUNT CODE: EXPANDXOhttps://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/expanded-love-masterclass-3-dayThis work has changed thousands of women's lives, and I would love for you to experience it.If you're ready for deeper love, deeper freedom, and a deeper relationship with yourself, this is where we begin.About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

You spend a lot of time wishing you could go back to who you were before chronic illness.This episode is going to challenge that wish completely. Because the woman you miss, the one with the energy, the plans, the freedom to say yes, wasn't who you think she was. The longing to get her back may be the very thing keeping your body stuck, in a way no one has explained to you. It's one of the emotional patterns I see most in women with chronic illness and one almost no one connects to their symptoms.In this episode, you'll discover:The specific grief almost every woman with chronic illness carries without naming itThe truth about who that pre-illness version of you actually wasThe shift that ends the longing for a life you can't go back toThe mornings I described in this episode aren't years away. My 7-day audio series is built to help you start reaching for them now — getting out of your head and back to actually living. The women who've been through it share what shifted for them in a single week.

In this episode, I explore the gut–brain connection from a completely different angle than most conversations you've probably heard.Yes, gut health matters. Yes, inflammation, dysbiosis, and digestion are important.But I also want to expand your awareness beyond food alone — because your internal state is influenced by much more than what you eat.1. Your Diet Is More Than FoodWhen I talk about “diet,” I'm not only talking about nutrition.Your diet also includes:What you watchWhat you listen toThe environments you stay inThe conversations you engage inThe people around youAnd the voice in your headAll of this becomes input into your system.So when we talk about gut health, we can't ignore the emotional, mental, and environmental inputs that are constantly shaping your internal state.2. The Gut–Brain Communication LoopYour gut and brain are in constant communication through the nervous system — especially through pathways like the vagus nerve.What I want you to understand is this:Your thoughts are not separate from your physiology.A thought can shift your internal chemistry, and your internal chemistry can reinforce your thoughts.It's a loop.3. Triggers Start the Entire Chain ReactionA trigger is anything picked up through your five senses:What you seeWhat you hearWhat you smellWhat you tasteWhat you physically feelWhen a trigger connects with a stored emotional memory, it creates a thought automatically.Most of the time, this happens without conscious awareness.4. Thought → Emotion → Body ResponseEvery thought creates a chemical response in the brain, which then influences how the body responds.That means:Thoughts of fear can shift the body into protection modeThoughts of safety can support digestion and regulationRepeated thought patterns create repeated body responsesOver time, these patterns become automatic loops.5. Conditioned Eating and Emotional LoopsMany cravings are not just about food — they are learned associations.For example:Certain foods linked to comfort in childhoodEating used as emotional regulationSmells or tastes triggering safety memoriesThese patterns are not random. They are conditioned responses your nervous system has learned over time.6. Digestion Follows State, Not Just FoodOne of the most important things I want you to understand is this:Your digestive system responds to your internal state.When the body is in stress or protection mode, digestion is not prioritized.When the body feels safe and regulated, digestion and metabolic processes function more efficiently.7. The Real Shift: Awareness Over ControlInstead of only asking:“What should I eat?”Start asking:“What is my system responding to right now?”“What triggered this shift in me?”“What pattern am I repeating unconsciously?”This is where real change begins — not in restriction, but in awareness.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Send us Fan MailYou never signed a purity pledge. Maybe you never set foot in a church. But the rules got in anyway — through locker rooms, movies, the way women around you were talked about, the bodies that got shamed. And now they're in your bedroom, quietly wrecking everything.Today I'm talking with Erika Smith — award-winning sexuality educator, 25 years in the field, and creator of the Purity Culture Dropout program — about the specific ways purity culture shows up in men who consider themselves good allies. Men who want their partners to have orgasms. Men who are still, without knowing it, making it impossible for her to ask for what she wants.We get into:Why she can't tell you to stop — even when she wants toThe "good girl/bad girl" split that's killing your sex life right nowHow penis-centered sex became the default (and what it's costing both of you)The porn conversation that's destroying otherwise healthy relationshipsWhere to start if you want to actually change what's happening in your bedroomThis one's for the men who are trying.

What happens when you build the life everyone admires — and it still doesn't feel like yours?Dr. Jeremy Goldberg knows that feeling well. A behavioral scientist with a doctorate, publishing research on the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside world-class scientists for the Australian government — and yet something was quietly draining out of him. In this conversation with Dr. Tara Perry, Jeremy shares how he learned to hear the difference between the heart whisper and the fear shout, why he walked away from a prestigious career to buy a van and wander through America, and what it actually means to live in integrity when the outside of your life looks perfect.In this episode, you'll discover:Why high achievers often feel the deepest emptiness — and what that signal is really pointing toThe "worst case scenario" mindset shift that gave Jeremy the courage to walk away from his PhD careerWhat "heart whispers vs. fear shouts" means and how to tell the two apart in your own lifeHow Jeremy's side project, Long Distance Love Bombs, grew from internet posts into a global coaching and speaking brandWhy chasing happiness at all costs may actually be the thing keeping you stuckThe power of wholeness over happiness — and why shadow, contrast, and difficulty are what give life its depthWhat becoming a father taught Jeremy about presence, feeling deeply, and what it means to truly arriveResources & Links Mentioned:Long Distance Love Bombs website: longdistancelovebombs.comDr. Jeremy Goldberg on Instagram: @longdistancelovebombsJeremy's book: It'll Be Okay and You Will Be TooBook a free intro coaching call with Jeremy at longdistancelovebombs.comReady to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

Steven Pressfield spent 27 years writing before his first novel was published — enduring 21 jobs, living in 11 states, and at times out of his car. Finally, at age 52, Steve finally, what Joseph Campbell calls, “Seized the Sword”.Since then, he's written over 20+ books and sold millions of copies. His most famous works are: The War of Art, Turning Pro, Gates of Fire (Gates is on the US Marine Corps commandant's mandatory reading list), and he also wrote the 2000 Oscar-nominated film, The Legend of Bagger Vance. His newest book, The Arcadian, was just released May 26th.Steven comes on Men Talking Mindfulness to talk about the inner war every man is fighting — against Resistance, and the risks of actually Turning pro.IN THIS EPISODE:What Resistance is — and why it wants to kill you, not just stop youThe one question Steven asks at the end of every day — and why it changes everythingWhy warrior virtues and artist virtues are identicalThe Muse — what it is, where it comes from, and how to tune inAmateur vs. pro: the mindset shift that separates people who do from people who mean toThe authentic swing — Bagger Vance, the Bhagavad Gita, and your true callingRELATED EPISODES:Overcoming ProcrastinationThe Shadow Holds Your Power, Not Your Pain with Connor BeatonFinding Your PurposeCuriosity Is Key to Breaking Men Free from Judgment and RuminationPRE-ORDER THE ARCADIAN BOOK &FOLLOW STEVEN PRESSFIELD:stevenpressfield.comGET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe: mentalkingmindfulness.comA2A COURSE:Change is Possible, this is where it starts - 12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

“When you can show up in service of someone else's work ahead of your own, it stops feeling transactional.” - Carly ValancyNetworking has become one of the most dreaded words in professional life. It feels transactional, awkward, and exhausting. But in a world increasingly driven by AI and digital communication, real human connection may be more valuable than ever.In this episode, I sit down with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, to talk about her philosophy of “anti-networking” - a more human, generous, and courageous way to build relationships and create opportunity.You'll hear us discuss:Why traditional networking feels so uncomfortable and how to approach it differentlyCarly's framework for writing “unignorable” messages that people actually respond toThe hidden fears that stop most people from reaching out in the first placeWhy reaching out is one of the highest leverage things you can do for your careerHow planting seeds for your future self can create opportunities years laterThe unexpected internal confidence shift that happens when you consistently put yourself out thereWhy meaningful human connection is becoming a major differentiator in an AI-driven worldResourcesCarly Valancy on Website | Reach Out Party | Tether | Substack | LinkedIn | Momentum Growth PlanWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

You've tried the apps. You've started the spreadsheet. You tracked your spending for a week (maybe two) and then life happened. Sound familiar?Here's what I want you to know: this is not a you problem. You don't have a discipline problem or a willpower problem. You have a systems problem. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly why traditional budgeting fails smart, capable women... and what to do instead.In this video you'll learn:Why traditional budgeting was never designed for your real lifeWhy restriction-based budgets are nearly impossible to stick toThe 3-bucket system that replaces overwhelming budget categoriesHow to know exactly what you can spend without tracking every dollarThe simple weekly check-in that keeps you in control without burning outIf you've been stuck in the cycle of trying, stopping, and starting over again — this video is for you.

Ten years ago, I couldn't find a single reason to stay. Not one. My brain had built a reality where there were no options left, and I believed it completely. What I didn't know then is that my brain wasn't broken. It was just trained to filter everything through loss, abandonment, and survival, and it was doing exactly what it was designed to do.In this episode, I'm sitting with what a decade actually changes, and what it doesn't. Because I'm still in the same body with the same brain, and yet I am living a completely different reality. That gap is worth talking about.Episode Takeaways:Why your brain isn't filtering your life based on truth, and what it's actually responding toThe decision point that started everything shiftingHow to become the witness of your own story instead of a prisoner of itIf you're in a moment right now where you cannot see your way out, it doesn't mean there isn't one. It means your brain hasn't learned how to see it yet. I know that because I lived it. And if I can go from that version of me to this one, your story is not even halfway written. If this episode resonated, your first month inside the Manifesting Miracles Academy is completely free — link below.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY  ✨ Your first month is completely free.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships 

There's a difference between looking strong… and actually being resilient.In this conversation, I sat down with Kris Gethin—someone who has spent decades pushing the limits of performance, recovery, and discipline.But what stood out to me isn't just how hard he trains.It's how clearly he understands that real strength isn't just physical.It's mental.It's behavioral.And it's built through the small decisions we make every day.Kris didn't come into this world through a perfect path.He found training through injury, through losing his identity, and through having to rebuild himself from the ground up.And that's really what this conversation is about.Not optimization for the sake of looking better.But using discipline as a way to stabilize your life.In this episode, we cover:Why doing hard things first thing in the morning changes your entire dayThe difference between physical strength and mental capacityHow community—not just programming—is what actually drives long-term changeWhy most people struggle to change even when they want toThe role of identity in building (or breaking) consistencyHow nutrition, sleep, and environment shape your ability to performThe balance between intensity and recoveryAnd what it really means to be “harder to kill”A bigger takeawayA lot of people are chasing performance, success, or some version of “better.”But if your system—your sleep, your stress, your habits—isn't aligned…Everything feels harder than it should.Kris has a very direct way of saying it:Do the hard things first.Build resilience.And stop negotiating with yourself.CONNECTFollow & Connect with Gabby ReeceWebsite: gabriellereece.comInstagram: @gabbyreecePodcast: The Gabby Reece ShowFollow & Connect with Kris GethinWebsite: krisgethin.comInstagram: @krisgethinPrograms & Coaching: Available through his website and training platformsSupplements: Unmatched SuppsEpisode Sponsors:Get 15% off OneSkin with the code GABBYREECE at https://www.oneskin.co/GABBYREECE #oneskinpodSupport your cells and how you age with Mitopure® Gummies from Timeline.
