Podcasts about ugly side

Your calendar is preaching something.The question is: is it preaching divine assignment… or survival?So many entrepreneurs say they want to be Spirit-led, but their weeks are being discipled by urgency, inboxes, meetings, client needs, and other people's panic.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I actually structure my week as a Kingdom-minded strategist carrying a big vision — not from pressure, performance, or productivity culture, but from stewardship.Because the way you order your time reveals what you believe you are responsible for.And some of what has been filling your calendar was never yours to carry.I'm sharing the weekly rhythm that helps me protect my peace, honor my capacity, create space for deep strategic work, and stay aligned with what God has actually assigned me to build in this season.This is not about becoming more efficient so you can do more.It's about becoming more obedient so you can carry well.If your week has been running you instead of serving the assignment, this conversation will help you pause, reassess, and rebuild your rhythm from a place of clarity.Because urgency may be loud, but it is not Lord.Listen in and don't just take notes. Let the Holy Spirit show you what needs to be reordered.Enjoyed today's episode?

Most Christian entrepreneurs say they hate cold calling. They say it feels awkward. Pushy. Maybe even a little manipulative.So they avoid it.But what if the real issue isn't cold calling at all? What if the discomfort is revealing something deeper about how many faith-driven entrepreneurs see their role in the marketplace?In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore a question that may challenge the way you think about outreach, sales, and even calling.Somewhere along the way, many believers began assuming that being authentic means waiting to be discovered. But what if that assumption is costing more than we realize? What if the conversations we avoid are connected to the very people we're called to serve?This episode opens a deeper conversation about initiative, stewardship, and the tension many Christian founders feel when faith and business growth collide. This perspective will shift the way you see sales, service, and your assignment in the marketplace.Because sometimes the thing we resist the most… is the doorway to the people we're meant to reach.If you're a CEO, consultant, or founder who wants to grow your business without compromising your faith, integrity, or calling, this episode will challenge the way you think about sales—and the role you play in the marketplace! The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

Some weeks don't just test your business. They reveal something about your heart. This week did that for me.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I open up about a moment that surfaced something I thought I had already healed. It raised a question I wasn't expecting.One that many entrepreneurs quietly carry but rarely say out loud.Why do so many leaders still feel restless… even when things appear to be working?Not failing.Not stuck.Just… unsettled.This conversation doesn't start with business strategy.It starts with a question most high-achieving entrepreneurs never stop long enough to ask themselves.Because sometimes the things we build our lives around look like success on the outside… But tell a very different story on the inside. And sometimes a difficult week reveals more than we were prepared to see.If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or startup leader navigating the tension between growth, identity, and purpose, this episode may open a conversation you didn't know you needed to have. Some realizations don't just change how you lead.They change what you thought success was supposed to give you.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

What do you do when the people who hurt you are the same people God calls you to love? In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we step into one of the most uncomfortable tensions Christian leaders face in the marketplace. Every entrepreneur eventually encounters it—the betrayal, the opposition, the quiet wounds that form when trust is broken in places where you were trying to build something meaningful. Moments like these don't just test your strategy or your leadership skills. They reveal something deeper about the heart behind how you lead.This conversation opens a deeper question about justice, forgiveness, and the kind of maturity Kingdom leadership quietly requires. Because the real test of leadership isn't just what you build when things are going well, it's who you become when people don't treat you fairly. If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or entrepreneur navigating the complexity of leading people while guarding your heart, this episode invites you into a conversation many leaders avoid… but every Kingdom builder eventually has to face. The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

Most people wouldn't expect a biblical business strategy to start in a busy restaurant.But sometimes the places that shape us the most... aren't the ones we would have chosen.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I share a story from long before consulting, coaching CEOs, or building companies.A story that began on the floor of a restaurant in Hawaii. At the time, it didn't feel like preparation for anything significant. Just long shifts. Fast decisions. Constant movement.But looking back, something was being formed.Something that would later shape how I think about leadership, sales, and serving people well in business.This episode opens the first conversation in a new series exploring biblical business strategies but not in the way most entrepreneurs expect.Sometimes the principles that change how we lead don't come from a boardroom. They come from moments that teach us to see people differently.If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or business owner trying to grow without compromising your values, this conversation may shift the way you think about influence, trust, and the unseen foundations of business.Because building a meaningful business was never just about closing deals. And sometimes the most important lessons start in places no one would think to look.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm sharing what the Lord has been teaching me through a surprising mentor… my four-year-old daughter.I've been in a season where God is restoring childlike wonder in me again, and it's been healing in ways I didn't expect. In this conversation, I walk you through four lessons my daughter models naturally—lessons that many adults have to re-learn the hard way:1. Trust without demanding control2. Ask boldly without shame3. Find wonder in what adults ignore4. Recover quickly and don't camp in disappointmentThis episode is for the entrepreneur who feels tired, guarded, or spiritually “mature” in a way that quietly became heavy.

You can know a lot about God and still not know Him.That might sound uncomfortable… but in this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm drawing a hard line between the knowledge of God and knowing God personally—because in this hour, surface-level Christianity is not going to sustain you.I'm talking about spiritual distractions, busyness, exhaustion, and what it looks like to pursue quality time with God when life is chaotic. And I'm reminding you that guilt and religious pressure are not tools of transformation.If you're building a business and you're tired, stretched, or overwhelmed, you don't need more information. You need intimacy. Because knowledge gives you principles—but knowing God gives you direction.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

What if the way you learned to protect your heart… is the very thing limiting your future?In this week's episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Chet Gladkowski to unpack a story that begins with silence, survival, and a quiet decision many don't even realize they've made: To stop hoping… so they won't be disappointed.But what happens when that mindset follows you into adulthood, into your faith, and even into your relationship with God?And more importantly—what does it take to break it?This conversation goes deeper than surface-level encouragement. It exposes the subtle ways pain, family history, and lived experiences shape how we see God, ourselves, and what we believe is possible.If you've ever felt like: You believe in God… but still struggle with expectation  You've been in a long “in-between” season  Or you've quietly lowered your hope just to avoid disappointment Then this episode is for you.There is a difference between surviving life… and living with true hope.And what you'll hear in this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about both.If you want to go deeper into this message, you can get Chet's book here:https://www.chetglad.org/hope-is-key And if you'd like to stay connected and continue learning from him, you can find Chet here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chester.gladkowski LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chetgladkowski/ YouTube: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCXVDlTr5rfDBNJ7kKvGa8hQ/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chestergladkowski/ X: https://x.com/gladkowski19297Tune in.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

Letting go is not easy when you're the kind of person who loves hard, builds hard, and stays loyal to what you started.But in this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm sharing why I had to let it go—because I realized something: You can't step into new fruit while you're holding onto old weight.I talk about the emotional side of release, the difficulty of walking away from things that feel comfortable, and how pruning can feel like loss even when it's actually preparation for expansion. We'll also confront the tension between internal conviction and external pressure—the push to follow trends, gurus, and noise, even when the Spirit is leading you differently.If you've been forcing momentum, this episode will help you stop wrestling and start discerning.The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned.

From growing up in China under strict cultural expectations to becoming a pioneer in regenerative medicine, Dr. Joy brings a perspective backed by real science that challenges everything we think we know about healing the human body.In this conversation, we dive into the contrast between Eastern and Western medicine, unpacking the pressure of comparison, perfectionism, and how her upbringing in China shaped the way she sees the world today. Dr. Joy gets vulnerable in sharing her journey of breaking away from societal expectations, navigating adversity after coming to America, and how those experiences led her to question traditional medical systems and get the facts about what true healing really looks like.We also get into the science behind stem cells and regenerative medicine—what they are, how they work, and why they may be one of the most powerful tools for healing and longevity.

In this episode of the Conquer Alley podcast, hosts Tyler Cooke, Jason Leydon, and Ryan Bucciantini engage in a lively discussion about the transition from off-season training to competition preparation. They explore the mental and physical challenges athletes face when ramping up their training intensity, the importance of building a strong foundation, and effective programming strategies for long-term success. The conversation also touches on nutrition, recovery, and the mindset needed to thrive in competitive environments. Takeaways Transitioning from off-season to competition requires mental adjustment.

If you're an indie podcaster who's ever felt completely drained, discouraged, or on the verge of giving up... you're not alone. In this brutally honest episode, I open up about the real-life challenges I've been facing—personally and creatively—and how podcasting has both helped and hurt along the way. From going through divorce, to ending The Kris and Kristine Show, to watching the numbers on this very podcast unexpectedly grow—this episode is raw, vulnerable, and 100% real. I'm not here to sugarcoat the podcasting journey. I'm here to talk about the parts no one tells you when you're first setting up your mic and dreaming big: What happens when your co-host leaves... and it's also your spouse. What it's like to podcast while selling your house and dealing with life-altering burnout. How to keep creating even when it feels pointless. And why authenticity, not algorithms, is still your biggest advantage.

Are wellness apps changing your life—or just tricking your brain? In this mini episode, we dive headfirst into the world of gamified wellness—where every step, sip, and stretch becomes a competition. Health apps are turning self-care into a game, but here's the twist: it might not be making you healthier at all. What you'll discover in this episode: Why your brain loves points, badges, and streaks (and how apps exploit that) How fitness games like Zombies, Run! and Apple Watch rings push people to move—sometimes a little too much The dark side of mindfulness apps that reward you for “relaxing” Why short-term motivation often crashes without long-term meaning The real science behind habit change—and what gamified apps often miss We're not anti-tech—we're pro-awareness. This episode cuts through the hype and asks the questions nobody else is: Are these apps supporting your wellness journey, or are you just chasing digital trophies? If you're into digital wellness, tech-life balance, or just tired of being nudged, pinged, and gamed in the name of “self-care,” this one's for you. Listen now—and rethink the games your wellness app is playing. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) is an abrupt emotional "drop" that occurs in some women just before milk release and continues for not more than a few minutes. Although research is still evolving, one study Published in 2019 (Breastfeeding Medicine) states that up to 9% of breastfeeding women may experience dysphoric milk ejection, although the true incidence is still unknown. The brief negative feelings range in severity from wistfulness to self-loathing. In Arch Gynecol Obstet, in July 2024, authors published, “Dysphoric milk ejection reflex – a call for future trials”. This is gaining interest in the published literature. The etiology of this is unclear but a new (soon-to-be-released) publication in the AJOG provides some interesting insights into this. This was just accepted for publication on September 18, 2024 and the official release is pending. Haven't heard about D-MER? Due to a lack of awareness, this phenomenon is easily misdiagnosed as postpartum depression and aversion by many healthcare professionals. A July 2024 Harvard Review in Psychiatry publication called D-MER, “A Novel Neuroendocrine Condition with Psychiatric Manifestations”. This condition is a physiologic tale of oxytocin, milk- let down, dopamine and prolactin, and the fight and flight response. Listen in for details.
