“I was in the shower recently and thought, 'Man, if I can make this happen every year for myself to be in FLOW365, it changes the game. Period.'" —HeatherIf you've ever felt like you're juggling your business, your family, your health, and your dreams, and wondering why it all feels so overwhelming, this conversation is for you.Heather is a shamanically trained intuitive healer, Reiki practitioner, sound healer, podcast host, and founder of the Hear Her Sisterhood. She's also a mom of teenagers, a wife, a gardener, a dog lover, and someone navigating all the beautiful and messy realities of midlife.In this episode, we talk about what happened when she stopped trying to figure everything out on her own and stepped into community and accountability. Instead of adding more to her plate, she found clarity, momentum, and permission to build her business in a way that honored her sensitivity and her real life.We explore why slowing down can actually create more growth, how showing up imperfectly builds consistency, and the unexpected magic that happens when you make a plan and allow it to evolve.In this episode, we cover:Why highly sensitive entrepreneurs need a different approach to planning and productivityThe loneliness that so many solo business owners experienceHow community and accountability create momentumThe difference between doing everything perfectly and simply showing upCreating a business that supports your life instead of competing with itWhy Friday planning and Monday accountability became Heather's anchorsLearning to give yourself permission instead of beating yourself upHow honoring your energy can lead to more clients and greater easeThe role of intuition, intention, and planning in sustainable business growthWhat it looks like to slow down and actually move forward fasterConnect with HeatherWebsite: DivinelySensitive.comInstagram: @DivinelySensitivePodcast: Hear Her PodcastConnect with MiaLearn more about FLOW365 and create momentum in your business, health, and life at https://PlanSimple.com/flow365.Sign up for the free workshop on July 15: https://PlanSimple.com/workshop.Read the latest issue of Pause Magazine.

Why This Episode MattersSabrina Maniscalco is one of the few people in quantum who has lived the full arc: two decades of academic work on open quantum systems and non-Markovian noise at Palermo, Turku, Edinburgh, and Helsinki, followed by founding Algorithmiq with three of her former researchers after an early Qiskit Camp. That trajectory matters now because Algorithmiq just had a landmark stretch — sole winner of the $2M Wellcome Leap Q4Bio prize for a quantum-enabled cancer drug discovery workflow, an €18M Series B, a global HQ move to Milan, and its Tensor Network Error Mitigation (TEM) function landing in IBM's Qiskit Functions catalog.If you're trying to make sense of where quantum software actually creates value before fault tolerance arrives — and what a credible "trajectory to advantage" looks like when paired with real clients in life sciences — this is a grounded, technically specific conversation with someone building it.EPISODE SPONSORThis episode is brought to you by Outshift, Cisco's incubation engine. The need for computational power is rapidly increasing in every sector. From drug discovery to material innovation to complex financial modeling, classical systems are reaching their absolute limits. It's time for a paradigm shift. The answer is a scalable quantum network, built on open standards and vendor-agnostic architecture. By uniting distributed quantum devices, you unlock limitless computational power.Learn more about the Cisco Universal Quantum Switch at Outshift.com.Go deeper with the blog post The switch that quantum networking has been waiting for.What We Get IntoWhy a background in open quantum systems and non-Markovian noise turned out to be unusually well-suited to running algorithms on noisy near-term hardwareThe actual science behind the Q4Bio winning workflow: simulating excited-state dynamics of a photosensitizer drug already in Phase II clinical trials, on up to 100 qubitsHow quantum-boosted DMRG works — and why it gives you a built-in benchmark against the best classical method via the bond dimensionThe tradeoff Sabrina would and wouldn't make between more qubits and lower noise, and why neutral atoms' slower sampling rates matter for chemistryWhy even fault-tolerant algorithms like quantum phase estimation still depend on getting state initialization and measurement rightAlgorithmiq's two-product structure: the Digital Quantum Interface (hardware-agnostic infrastructure) and the life sciences application frameworkHow methods built for chemistry are now opening doors into optimization and GenAI — and why that direction emerged from the work, not from a strategy deckWhat the move from Helsinki to Milan signals about the European quantum ecosystem and Algorithmiq's commercial scale-upHow an active learning pipeline is already proposing novel drug variants for synthesis in Prof. Sherri McFarland's labResources & LinksGuest & CompanyAlgorithmiq — The company Sabrina co-founded with Guillermo García-Pérez, Matteo Rossi, and Boris Sokolov; quantum software for life sciences and chemistry.Sabrina Maniscalco — University of Helsinki Research Portal — Publication record covering open quantum systems, non-Markovian dynamics, and quantum information.Sabrina Maniscalco — AI for Good Bio — Consolidated bio covering academic roles and advisory positions, including IQOQI Austria and CERN's Quantum Technology Initiative.The Q4Bio WinAlgorithmiq Wins $2M Wellcome Leap Q4Bio Prize — Company announcement detailing the photodynamic therapy workflow.Wellcome Leap — Q4Bio Prize Announcement — Funder's perspective on finalists and criteria.IBM Quantum Blog — Q4Bio Finalists — IBM's account of the workflow and quantum-classical integration.Funding & HQ MoveTech.eu — Algorithmiq's €18M Series B and Milan move — Coverage of Italy's largest quantum VC round to date.Quantum Computing Report — Algorithmiq Relocates to Milan — Strategic context including the Q4Bio win and IBM partnership.EU-Startups coverage — Investor lineup and Italy's National Quantum Strategy framing.Quantum Advantage & ToolingIBM Quantum Blog — The Dawn of Quantum Advantage — Includes Algorithmiq's TEM (Tensor Network Error Mitigation) function in the Qiskit Functions catalog.Algorithmiq & IBM Quantum Advantage Tracker — The heterogeneous materials experiment Algorithmiq and IBM put forward as a community benchmark.Silicon Republic interview with Sabrina — Useful prior context on her philosophy of using quantum to simulate quantum systems.Key Quotes & InsightsOn the foundation of the company's approach: "We learned very early what we thought were the bottlenecks of quantum computers — what you really need to worry about if you want to implement computation at scale." A direct line from Qiskit Camp Vermont to Algorithmiq's product strategy.On Q4Bio, in Sabrina's words: "This molecule is already in Phase II clinical trial. So it's not hydrogen. It's a real molecule." A useful counter to the common critique that quantum chemistry demos still live in toy-model land.On quantum-boosted DMRG (insight): In the worst case, the method matches the best classical technique; in the better case, it outperforms it — and the bond dimension tells you which regime you're in. Built-in benchmarking against the classical baseline.On the hardware tradeoff: Asked whether she'd prefer 100 higher-fidelity qubits or 200 noisier ones, Sabrina's answer is "it depends" — and the explanation about why neutral atoms' lower sampling rates limit chemistry use cases is one of the more concrete things you'll hear on platform tradeoffs.On strategy (insight): New verticals at Algorithmiq are ...

In today's deeply personal episode, Marley shares one of the biggest lessons and initiations she is currently moving through: learning how to truly surrender.After weeks of consistent meditation and profound inner reflection, she reveals the powerful realization that transformed her perspective on control, faith, manifestation, and trusting life's unfolding.If you've ever struggled to let go of an outcome, felt attached to a relationship, financial goal, or dream, or found yourself trying to force life into a particular direction, this episode offers a powerful invitation to release your grip and trust something greater.Get Instant Access To My FREE Training: Clear Your Limiting BeliefsIf you're an entrepreneur who feels like you're doing all the things but still not seeing the results you know you're capable of, this training is for you.Join me live as I walk you through my proven process for uncovering and clearing the subconscious beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. This is the exact work I've used with thousands of entrepreneurs to help them create more alignment, abundance, and success in their businesses.Save your spot for the free training and learn the tool that has transformed my life, my business, and the lives of my clients.www.marleyrose.ca/clearIn This Episode We Cover:Why surrender is often hardest in the areas we care about mostThe hidden connection between attachment and unhealed emotional woundsHow fear causes us to control, manipulate, and force outcomesThe difference between inspired action and action driven by fearWhy trusting life can actually create faster, easier resultsThe role meditation has played in receiving deeper intuition and guidanceThe surprising airport luggage analogy that changed everythingThe pickle jar metaphor and what it teaches us about receiving supportWhy letting go isn't giving upHow to identify the emotional void behind what you're chasingThe relationship between faith, trust, and manifestationKey TakeawaysThe areas where surrender feels impossible are usually the areas carrying the deepest fear, attachment, or unmet need.When we try to force outcomes, we're operating from the belief that we must make everything happen ourselves rather than trusting a greater intelligence at work.The more we heal the emotional wound underneath our desires, the less attached we become to specific outcomes.Surrender doesn't mean sitting back and doing nothing. It means taking aligned action while releasing attachment to how and when results arrive.Many of the greatest manifestations arrive in ways we never could have planned ourselves. Trusting the unfolding often creates outcomes beyond what we imagined possible.Journal QuestionsWhat am I trying to control right now?What am I afraid would happen if I let go?What emotional need am I expecting this outcome to fulfill?What would it look like to trust that this is already being taken care of?Where can I replace force with faith?Memorable Quote"The only reason we don't let go is because we don't trust that it will be taken care of."Resources & Links✨ Join my FREE live training: Clear Your Limiting Beliefs: www.marleyrose.ca/clear ✨ Download the Higher Self App: https://www.instagram.com/higherself.app/✨ Join House Of Freedom https://www.marleyrose.ca/houseoffreedom✨ Explore my programs and coaching opportunities: linktr.ee/marleyroseharrisConnect With MarleyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/marleyroseharris/Website: https://www.marleyrose.ca/Email: hello@marleyrose.caYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@marleyroseharrisLove The Podcast?If this episode resonated with you, I would be so grateful if you left a review.Send a screenshot of your review & email it to hello@marleyrose.ca and we'll send you a special gift as a thank you for supporting the show.Thank you for being here, angel.

In this episode, Katie is tackling the common belief that wedding enquiries do not convert because the price is too high. The simple answer is that it is not always a pricing problem, sometimes the enquiry process has not created enough trust, clarity or certainty for the couple to feel safe saying yes. Katie shares why couples ghost, why information alone does not always lead to a booking, and how wedding suppliers can start thinking differently about sales conversations without becoming pushy.Katie also shares the story of Charlotte and David, who increased their prices and started booking more of their highest package, and explains why confidence, clarity and how you lead the conversation can completely change the way couples respond.If you want to hear more about WedPro Studio and become one of the Founding 100, join the list here:https://founding100.wedprostudio.com/Episode Highlights: Why wedding suppliers often blame price when enquiries go quietThe difference between a pricing problem and a certainty problemWhy couples ghost after asking for prices or having a good conversationHow decision fatigue, perceived risk and fear of choosing wrong affect wedding bookingsWhy your enquiry reply is not just admin, it is a trust signalThe reason “let me know if you have any questions” can leave couples stuckWhy sales should feel like guidance, not pressureThe story of Charlotte and David increasing their prices and booking more top packagesWhy your energy around your price teaches couples how to feel about your priceHow WedPro Studio is being built to support content, enquiries, sales, client experience and follow upHow to join the Founding 100 and help shape WedPro Studio before it launches publiclyWant to be part of the Founding 100?Katie is opening WedPro Studio to a select group of wedding suppliers who want early access, want to help shape the tool, and want support with the real moving parts of their business, including content, enquiries, sales, client experience and follow up.Join the list here:https://founding100.wedprostudio.com/

What if the reason self-care feels impossible isn't laziness, lack of time, or poor planning — but the invisible, never-ending mental load that mums carry every single day? In this episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, Linda and Jill get real about the weight of the mental load: the planning, scheduling, remembering, and organising that keeps the family ship afloat — and quietly drowns our capacity for self-care. From pregnancy brain to tea towels that seem to multiply on the bench, this conversation is warm, honest, and deeply relatable for any mum who has ever felt like her brain just won't switch off.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the mental load is a self-care crisis — and the research that backs it upHow mums carry the majority of household mental load tasks and what that actually costs usWhy awareness of the mental load isn't always enough to change it — and what the real gap isWhat it looks like to gently let go of mental load tasks, even just for a seasonHow to start sharing the load with a partner, your kids, or your wider support networkWhy passing off even one small task out loud can be a powerful first stepThe role society and systems play in keeping mums overwhelmed — and why it's not your faultHow to identify the one piece of your mental load you've been silently carrying aloneThe mental load doesn't take a day off — but you deserve a break from carrying it all alone. Whether you're deep in pregnancy, parenting solo, or navigating a household where the invisible work still somehow lands on your shoulders, this episode is your reminder: you are not failing. You are carrying too much. Jill and Linda invite you to start small — name the one thing you've been silently managing, and consider who else could hold a piece of it. That conversation? That's self-care too.Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!
The shocking scandal rocking Israel's legal establishment is finally getting more attention. In this powerful video, we break down how the Military Advocate General has been protected for over 210 days despite her direct involvement in one of the worst blood libels against IDF soldiers in history.After October 7th, when Hamas livestreamed their atrocities, certain elements within Israel's own institutions turned against our holy soldiers. The Military Advocate General allegedly played a central role in leaking a misleading video that falsely accused IDF troops of rape, a claim that went viral globally and caused massive diplomatic damage to Israel.Yet instead of accountability, she has been shielded by the system. No real investigation. No indictment. No loss of rank. Just a fake “dismissal” while she continues collecting a full pension.This is not an isolated incident. It is part of a dangerous pattern of a “deep state”, unelected officials in the legal, military, and intelligence worlds who work against the will of the Israeli people and their elected government.In this video we expose:The 210-day cover-upHow the system protects its ownThe connection to the broader war against religious and nationalist soldiersWhy this internal corruption is as dangerous as our external enemiesIf you want to understand the real battle happening inside Israel, between those who want a strong, proud, Jewish state and those who want to keep it weak and dependent, this video is a must-watch.The truth is coming out.

The financial news cycle moves fast, but the fundamentals of investing have not changed. Melissa Joy, CFP® sits down with Ben Carlson, Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of five books including his latest, Risk and Reward, to explore what history actually teaches us about markets, human nature, and the psychology behind smart long-term investing. Ben brings equal parts data and storytelling to make the case that understanding the past is one of the most underrated tools an investor can have.From the inflationary spiral of the 1970s to lost decades and the dot-com aftermath, Ben and Melissa walk through the market cycles that shaped today's investing environment and what those periods reveal about our own tendencies as investors. They also dig into the coming wave of wealth transfer, why women will increasingly control the bulk of financial assets, and why the financial advice industry is not yet ready for it.What You'll LearnWhy studying financial history matters and what it reveals about the range of possible outcomesHow inflation in the 1970s shaped investor psychology in ways that still resonate todayWhat the lost decade of 2000 to 2010 teaches about diversification and why that lesson keeps getting forgottenWhy simplicity in a financial plan beats complexity almost every timeHow to build a portfolio durable enough to survive a wide range of outcomes without requiring you to predict the futureWhy preparation is more valuable than prediction when it comes to investingWhat the great wealth transfer means for women and why the financial advice industry needs to catch upHow human nature is the one investing variable that never changes across market cyclesWhat Ben's list of 20 investing beliefs reveals about discipline, self-awareness, and behavioral financeWhy the best financial plan is the one you can actually stick with through difficult marketsAbout Ben CarlsonBen Carlson is the Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and the author of five books on investing and personal finance, including his latest, Risk and Reward.

Cocodona 250 delivered some of the most inspiring performances in ultrarunning — and inside those performances are lessons every ultrarunner can use, whether you're chasing a podium, a PR, or simply trying to reach the finish line.In this episode, I break down the biggest takeaways from this year's Cocodona 250, including what Rachel Entrekin's historic overall win and Kilian Korth's men's course record can teach us about belief, preparation, execution, and resilience in long ultras.Because in races this long, fitness matters — but it's not the only thing that determines your result. Your mindset, aid station strategy, fueling plan, decision-making, and ability to problem-solve when everything goes wrong can be the difference between a breakthrough and a DNF.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “unreasonable” goals might be the exact thing that help you level upHow to pair big belief with the actions required to actually make it realThe two biggest keys to faster, more efficient aid stationsWhy sometimes a calculated risk can save your entire raceHow to know when to fix a problem immediately versus keep movingWhy you don't have to eat real food in long ultras if your fueling plan worksHow good weather can trick you into making bad race-day decisionsWhy a bad stretch early in a 100- or 200-mile race does not mean your race is overThis one is for any ultrarunner who wants to race smarter, believe bigger, and become harder to break when things get tough.SHOW LINKS:Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

You know that spiral.The launch didn't land.The numbers weren't what you hoped.And somewhere in the middle of the questioning comes the sentence that sounds spiritual:“I guess I'll just trust God's timing.But if we're honest…Sometimes that's genuine surrender. And sometimes it's resignation with a Bible verse attached.In this episode, we're talking about the difference. Because what if the problem isn't you…But how have you been measuring? There's a different lens available to you. I'm introducing you to Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence (KSI), and how it completely reshapes the way you interpret results, faithfulness, and forward movement in your life and leadership. In this episode, you'll discover:Why KPI (Key Performance Indicators) only tells part of the storyWhat Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence reveals that KPI never canWhy the unseen always precedes the seenHow to stop spiraling when results don't show upHow to realign with what Heaven is actually saying about your life Write this somewhere you'll see it: We win, even when it may not look like it yet. That's not wishful thinking. That's not denial. That is Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence operating exactly as it should.
In Part 1 of this conversation, Ray Power joins Chat By The Pitch to talk about youth soccer development, coaching philosophy, parent education, and why keeping kids in love with the game matters more than early results.Ray shares his journey from teacher to professional coach educator, how writing Making the Ball Roll shaped his philosophy, and why modern coaching environments should focus on development, trust, communication, and long-term player growth.This episode dives deep into what parents misunderstand about coaching, why match day behavior matters, and how coaches can create environments where players actually learn and thrive.Key Talking PointsRay Power's journey into coaching and coach educationWhy youth soccer should prioritize development over outcomesThe importance of keeping kids in love with the gameWhy match day should not become joystick coachingThe role parents play in youth player developmentCoaching environments built on trust and communicationWhy players need different coaching experiences growing upHow coaches develop their own philosophy over timeThe difference between learning and simply chasing resultsWhy parents need to better understand the development processQuotes from Ray Power“If we could just get out of the way of kids falling out of love with the game, everything after that will run its course.”“Do your coaching in training. Match day should mostly be reminders.”“The game evolves. Coaches have to evolve too.”“You can't ruin the love of the game for kids.”“Good coaches will come, bad coaches will come — that's part of development too.”“Kids grow from praise. They want to repeat what gets recognized.”“If you surround something with negativity all the time, that's what it becomes.”“Parents often arrive without the motivation to learn, but with plenty to say.”“Winning at the expense of development is where youth soccer gets lost.”“The most important thing is making sure kids want to come back tomorrow.”Connect with Ray Power
Have you ever felt weird about following up with a bride or couple after sending your proposal? Have you worried that you were going to sound pushy, annoying, desperate, or just plain sleazy?In this episode, Jen breaks down 10 practical ways to follow up with a bride professionally, confidently, and effectively—without sounding like you are begging for the booking. Because follow-up is not about chasing people.

The goal is not to pressure someone into booking. The goal is to make the decision process easier, calmer, and more obvious for them.Why this matters for florists and wedding pros:A strong follow-up process can help you:book more weddingsincrease proposal conversionsfeel more confident in salesstop overthinking ghostingcreate a more polished client experienceIf you are trying to improve your wedding sales process, proposal follow-up strategy, or how to book more wedding clients, this episode is a must-listen.Listen nowTune in to hear all 10 ways to follow up with a bride without feeling sleazy—and start using follow-up as a powerful part of your booking process.If you want, I can also turn this into a matching Instagram caption + carousel for the episode.

Like the show? Let us know! Comments, suggestions are open.What happens when “sorry” becomes the only word you reach for?In this episode, we're exploring communication in submission, and how silence, over-apologizing, and fear can quietly disrupt even the healthiest dynamics.

Melodie shares what it looked like to finally stop filling her plate as a way of avoiding what she couldn't control, what it cost her to keep pushing through when her body was telling her to stop, and how she's learning to trust God's timing when her instinct is to do everything herself, now.Her story will feel familiar if you've ever stayed up 48 hours to finish something that didn't need to be done.

Think about the last time you had something to say in a meeting and didn't say it. Maybe you were waiting for the right moment. Maybe someone else was talking and you thought you'd jump in after. And then the conversation shifted, and the moment passed, and someone else said something close enough to your idea that everyone moved on without you.That's not just a missed moment. It's directly connected to getting what you want in your career. Every time you stay silent, you're leaving other people to define what you bring to the table. And the story they tell about you is usually not the one you'd choose.In this episode, I'll cover:Why silence isn't neutral and what people actually think when you don't speak upHow to shift your perspective so you stop defending your silencePractical ways to get your voice in the room, even when you don't feel ready_____________________

Why I'm not getting clients is a question most coaches, consultants, and service providers ask at some point, after they've invested in courses and tried every strategy they could find.The cycle feels frustrating because the effort is real, but the results aren't coming.In this episode, Marisa Shadrick gets honest about what's really happening beneath the surface. The problem usually isn't your marketing strategy. It's a limiting belief quietly shaping how you show up across every area of your business, from the clarity of your message to whether you ever hit record or send the sales email.This episode is for coaches and service providers who are working hard but still not seeing consistent results. If that's you, Marisa walks you through exactly where the breakdown happens and why the fix has to start from the inside out. What You'll Discover in This EpisodeWhy investing in more courses and chasing the latest marketing tactic may be prolonging the real problemHow a limiting belief can quietly water down your message without you even knowing itWhat "identity friction" is and why it keeps you vague when you need to be clearThe neurological reason your brain treats visibility like a physical threatWhy trust is built through interaction, not just consistent content postingWhat's really happening when you avoid sales conversations, underprice, or forget to follow upHow to use AI as a mirror to spot where fear may be showing up in your own content You don't need a new strategy. You need clarity on what's actually getting in the way. Once you see it, freedom is possible, and it only gets better from here.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.
