In this episode, we welcome psychiatrists Dr. Jennifer Reid (author of Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations) who explores why guilt feels so overwhelming amid post-COVID pressures, perfectionism, and endless roles. Dr. Reid and Dr. Puder differentiate guilt from shame, highlighting adaptive healthy guilt for repairing relationships versus maladaptive generalized guilt tied to depression, anxiety, burnout, and cognitive distortions. The discussion covers childhood roots like parentification and socialization, narcissism's reduced guilt, therapist/doctor identity struggles with moral injury, and practical strategies like boundary-setting, reframing expectations, and safely referring unsafe patients without guilt. Ideal for anyone battling unreasonable self-expectations, mental health providers seeking tools to manage guilt in patients and themselves, or listeners wanting to break free and reclaim emotional freedom through self-compassion and realistic accountability.

This isn't just about flipping a calendar page—it's about consciously choosing to emerge as the bold visionary leader you were born to be. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and it's going to be fast and fruitful. But first, we need to do the deep work of reconnecting with ourselves. Episode Highlights: The 14 things visionary women are leaving behind in 2025 (bye, bitches!)

The highest impact leaders all have one trait in common: they are extreme contrarians. They were seen by the majority as radicals, misfits and eccentrics. They saw what most see and thought what few think. They rejected the mass hypnosis and schooled brainwashing of society. That says that geniuses are cut from a different cloth, that your ethical ambitions should be suppressed and that your life needs to be reasonable. Makes me think of the words of George Bernard Shaw who wrote: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

LLMs are already “deciding” your brand for buyers. Are you shaping that story or letting the machine write it? If your marketing still sounds like everybody else's, congratulations: you've trained the models to ignore you.This week we rip into the hottest B2B reality: AI Engine Optimization (AEO) meets human-only brand. Ari Yablok, head of brand at Island, shows how to beat sameness by sending clear “this is new” signals, building experiential brands that people feel (not just read), and using unreasonable hospitality to make products and events feel theirs, not “yours.”We also cover:AEO is the new SEO: how to show up inside LLM answers and make people prefer you before they ever ask a bot.Signals over slogans: designing booths, visuals, and copy that telegraph “category shift” without a single bullet point.Unreasonable hospitality in B2B: turning product nuance and in-person moments into retention (and reputation) machines.The “feeling of knowing”: why brand confidence shortens deals—even when buyers can't explain why.Human as the counter-trend: embracing curated flaws and analog touchpoints to stand out as AI perfects the average.
Send us a textOn this weeks episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy talks about the nature of customers. No one likes having to pay for their car to be fixed, except some of weirdo's who can tell when we are running the right gas or not. No, most customers will actively chafe when we recommend repairs to their vehicle, no matter how badly they are needed! This becomes compounded when you do a video explaining what is wrong with their vehicle and the service advisor fails to mention a single recommendation from that video and the customer walks out the door with tires that are showing cords or an oil leak that rivals the Exxon-Valdez. Video however is they key to breaking this down, and with coming improvements to Video MPI and the contextualization and AI integrations that we are going to see in their next iterations, the facts might just turn the tides on these unreasonable people. What is the most unreasonable customer that you have experienced - let us know over on Facebook! Also Uncle Jimmy talks Rez Gas.

When something “bad” happens that you never saw coming, the default human response is blame of self, others, or life itself. In this episode, I invite you to consider a radical reframe: what if the “bad thing” is the precursor to an incoming miracle? Continuing the ongoing conversation about embodying a timeline of Miracle Frequency, we explore how tension is required for growth, why surrender is not bypassing, and how to hold pressure from a grounded seat of responsibility while refusing to let fear have the final say. I share personal stories, powerful examples of grace in action (forgiveness, resilience, leadership), and an invitation to those who feel called to fully embody Miracle Frequency: this path isn't random - you may have been praying for it (even unconsciously). In this episode you'll learn: Why tension and pressure often precede profound transformation How to shift from victimhood to radical responsibility without bypassing your human reality A liberating posture: trusting a bigger orchestration while keeping your feet on the ground What it means to step into a timeline of miracles, not just momentary moments of grace How unreasonable, audacious faith meets practical, day-to-day action Join the work: Miracle Frequency Masterclass (Free, 2 days) — Nov 13 & 14, 11:00–12:15pm AEDT.

In this episode, Amy Natalie sits down with Dr. Nona Djavid for a powerful conversation about balancing masculine and feminine energies, nervous system regulation, and the art of intentional manifestation. Dr. Nona shares her journey from a hypermasculine, high-achieving lifestyle to one rooted in flow, embodiment, and freedom. Together, they explore how early conditioning shapes emotional patterns and how tools like neuro tagging, visualization, and movement can rewire the nervous system for deeper fulfillment.Listeners will be inspired to create an “unreasonable” vision for their lives—one that blends structure with intuition, logic with creativity, and action with surrender. Through emotional embodiment and conscious practice, this episode invites women to step into their next-level identity and manifest from a place of wholeness.Themes:Balancing masculine drive with feminine flowHealing and rewiring the nervous systemManifestation through visualization and repetitionEmbodying new emotional patternsCreating freedom through identity transformationLimited Time Offer

This week on Crack the Book marks a jarring shift in tone — and in time. After months steeped in medieval imagination, we start there with Niccolò Machiavelli and end firmly in the Enlightenment with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Their works, The Prince (1513) and The Social Contract (1762), straddle that uneasy moment when faith and hierarchy gave way to “rational” thinking. And wow, does it sound different. I didn't realize how accustomed my ear had become to the older world until now.First up, The Prince. I had only known it practically caricatured as a manual for ruthless rulers. Instead, I found that Machiavelli offers sharp, almost Aristotelian observations on how power works. Writing amid the chaos of Renaissance Italy — with popes, princes, and mercenaries vying for control — he tries to help leaders (well, Lorenzo di Medici) survive reality, not reinvent it. His advice is startlingly pragmatic: if you must be cruel, do it swiftly; keep the people's goodwill by leaving their money and families alone; and above all, don't be hated. Virtue matters less than the appearance of virtue — but even so, he respects human nature enough to work with it rather than against it. For someone with such a bad reputation, he's refreshingly honest.Before we move to Rousseau, I spend some time reviewing the Enlightenment: what it was, when it was, and how it changed thinking and therefore every other thing in the world! I think it's a necessary bridge between these two time periods and books.On to Rousseau. Two centuries and one worldview later, The Social Contract begins not with observation but with imagination: “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” Rousseau builds an elaborate theory of how people ought to behave, then blames reality when they don't. His faith in reason and “natural goodness” feels detached from the messiness of human life that Machiavelli understood so well. And by the time he turns his ire on the Church in his final pages, the tone borders on bitter — foreshadowing the excesses of the French Revolution.After this week, I find myself mourning the grounded wisdom of the Middle Ages. Machiavelli may be cynical, but at least he's real. Rousseau feels like a man disappointed that humanity refuses to fit his theory.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate -

Success and happiness should not be defined by external factors. Measuring progress from where you've come is crucial for fulfilment. Redefining health can lead to better outcomes and satisfaction. Creating a non-profit can integrate personal passions with business goals. There are three types of goals: SMART, Inspired, and Unreasonable. Unreasonable goals require a shift in identity and mindset. Writing down goals increases the likelihood of achieving them. Taking time off can lead to increased productivity and creativity. To achieve different results, one must take different actions. Sound bites "Measure from how far you've come." "I teach three kinds of goals." "How do you collapse time?"

We'll dive into: Why “reasonable” keeps you safe but small. How the French unapologetically live unreasonable lives — and why we're so captivated by it. Personal stories about my most unreasonable decisions (and how they transformed my life). A gentle invitation for you to step into your own folie douce, sweet madness, this week.

Wil talks with Anthony Hamilton of Icon Group Hospitality about building people-first restaurant businesses that last. They riff on digital minimalism (Wil's flip phone!), presence with family, and the hard edges of hospitality—burnout, 24/7 crises, substance abuse—then pivot to how thoughtful leadership, balance, and systems can make the work sustainable. Anthony traces his path from CIA-trained chef to operator/educator to acquiring legacy independent brands and venues, explaining creative deal structures, venue-first catering strategy, and a culture that prizes productivity over performative “grind.” The throughline: lead with hospitality, invest in people, use simple tech well, and protect the soul of beloved neighborhood institutions.Key takeaways Presence beats obsession: Ditching always-on smartphones can reduce noise and make you a better leader, parent, and human. Hospitality is holistic: Mental health, family time, and modeling balance are part of the job, not perks. People > spreadsheets: “Internal customers” (your team) drive guest experience; treat them with autonomy, flexibility, and respect. Productivity > hours: Question 50+ hour weeks; manage to outcomes, not optics. Predictive labor wins: Forecast sales, schedule to targets, and adjust—don't try to “cut” your way out after the fact. Simple tech scales: Use lightweight tools (like scheduling/communications) your staff actually adopts; avoid bells-and-whistles bloat. Legacy brand stewardship: When buying independents, preserve what locals love while modernizing ops; owners are often the brand—honor that story. Creative deals keep doors open: Mix owner financing, profit-sharing, and note-holding to match seller needs and protect cash. Venue-first catering strategy: Securing exclusive/long-term venue leases reliably feeds the catering pipeline. Unreasonable touches pay back: Small, thoughtful gestures (a $60 video game + handwritten note) can lock in lifelong clients. Turnover is expensive: Retention beats replacement—paying an extra $0.50–$1/hour can save thousands in churn costs. Lead by example: Owners will always care most; don't expect staff to out-hustle you—set the standard and the tone.
