If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I should've known better,” or “I'm failing my kids,”—this episode is for you.Negative self-talk after a toxic relationship or divorce is so common, and yet, nobody really talks about how damaging it can be.

In this episode of The Key and Mang Audio Experience, we unpack the double standards men and women face in the workplace—especially when it comes to leadership, conflict, and competition.Why are male rivalries seen as strong and entertaining, while women who stand their ground are called difficult or dramatic? Why is intensity applauded in men but discouraged in women?We talk about:The unfair perception gap in how confidence is judgedHow women are often told to “keep the peace” instead of speaking upWhy we need to normalize healthy competition, even among womenThe importance of viewing losses as data, not as dead endsIf we want better workplaces, we have to start by recognizing the bias—and then build environments where everyone's leadership is respected, not redefined.

In this radiant, real, and sometimes ridiculous episode, I sit down with my luminous friend Franca—spirit-channel, clarity-weaver, queen of sequins and silence. We talk about what it really takes to speak your truth in public, the invisible risks of visibility, and the awkward tension between “I want to share this” and “What if I get cancelled?” (Spoiler alert: block and bless, darling.)We cover everything from commenting on Instagram posts with actual courage, to the truth about menopause (hint: it's not always a liberation parade), to channelling spirit in the kitchen with a pot of bean soup. It's raw, deliciously witchy, and full of technicolour permission to be in the mess and the magic.Franca shares her journey with HRT (and the surprising reconnection to spirit that followed), the birth of her alter-egos Queen and Chiquita, and how the art of being seen is always shapeshifting.Whether you're someone who's mid-transformation, hiding drafts in your reels folder, questioning the vibe of “wellness perfection,” or just here for the petty rage and the sequins—this one's for you.In this episode we explore:The art of sharing your voice without self-censorshipWhy we second guess our intuition Losing and reclaiming your spiritual connection in midlifeDancing in the dark as a portal to channellingChiquita & Queen: Franca's fierce, funny, illustrated alter-egos born from menopausal chaosWhat it really means to channel—and how to trust it, even if it feels made upWhy creativity is a fun, messy, divine transmission (yes, even when the phone hits your face)___

We tend to picture negotiations happening in boardrooms, but the real opportunities? They show up in hallways, at the end of meetings, in the quiet moments when you're not quite ready but should be. If you're not clear on what you want or how to ask for it, those moments pass. And when they do, someone else's name gets mentioned instead of yours.In this episode, I'm talking about how clarity creates opportunity and why casual conversations often shape the biggest decisions. It's not about having a script. It's about having the presence of mind to plant a seed. The hallway is the new boardroom, and it's time you start treating it like one.In this episode, I'll cover:How to clarify what you want before the opportunity shows upWhy informal moments often shape career-changing decisionsHow to speak with confidence when you only have a few seconds_____________________

Colbert couldn't survive the attention economy. Can your next event?Stephen Colbert's Late Show once pulled in millions of viewers. But recently, CBS canceled it after losing $40 million a year. Why? Not because the content was bad, but because the format no longer fit how people consume content today. In this solo episode of Production Value Matters, host Matthew Byrne explains why this isn't just a broadcast TV problem, it's a wake-up call for anyone producing business events.Matthew unpacks how the same outdated model that led to Colbert's decline is still being used in boardrooms and ballrooms—and why that has to change. He introduces the concept of the attention economy, where audience engagement is more valuable (and more fragile) than ever. You'll learn how to modernize your event strategy to meet today's viewing habits and expectations, using flexible, data-driven formats like virtual, hybrid, and micro events.Whether you're producing a global summit or a private roundtable, this episode is your guide to creating events that are leaner, more engaging, and built for today's reality.What you'll learn:How the cancellation of Colbert's show mirrors the struggles of traditional event formatsWhat the “attention economy” is and why it's disrupting live eventsThe ROI benefits of virtual, hybrid, and micro eventsHow to reallocate production budgets to what actually drives valueThe importance of data-rich virtual experiences for lead scoring and follow-upWhy hybrid isn't a fallback—it's a flexible powerhouseHow micro events deliver deeper connections and stronger engagementWhy event strategy must evolve or risk becoming irrelevantMatthew Byrne is the Founder of Byrne Production Services and host of the Production Value Matters podcast.

Okay, Hustle Sanely Squad, let's be real: when your home feels chaotic, it's tough to focus on anything else, and I'm a big believer that your home should feel like a safe haven, not a source of stress.In this episode, I'm sharing 6 simple habits that help keep our home running smoothly without spending hours cleaning or organizing every day. In today's episode, we chat about:A quick system that keeps clutter from piling upWhy a shared family calendar is a total game-changerHow simple home routines can lower stress and boost peaceThink: low-effort, high-impact routines that make your space feel calm and manageable

This weekend, we're diving into one of the most common (and possibly the most fascinating) team-leadership dynamics we see in team training sessions: the relationship between Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure) and Type 8 (Striving to Feel Powerful).It shows up again and again: Type 8s in leadership roles who are focused on getting things done, moving fast, and protecting their teams... and Type 6s (often the largest group on the team) asking for more clarity, more information, and more certainty before they take action.This gap in pace and perception can cause friction, but it can also be one of your team's biggest strengths if you learn to leverage it.When you listen in, you'll hear more about:The core motivations and behaviors of Type 6 and Type 8How their instinctual subtypes (Preserving, Navigating, Transmitting) shape how they show upWhy this pairing often causes miscommunication or frustrationHow to turn this tension into trust, balance, and better decision-makingReflection prompts to improve collaboration between these two typesWhether you're a leader, a team member, or somewhere in between, understanding how these two styles operate can be a game-changer for your workplace culture.Resources Mentioned:Read the full blog post: Understanding Type 6 and Type 8 at WorkThe start of the Instinctual Bias seriesListener Reflection:Are you more of a “move fast and lead” or “make sure it's safe first” kind of person?Who do you work with that shows up differently, and how could this episode help you meet them where they are?Have a request for a future episode?

Midlife isn't just about hot flashes or forgetting names it's a time when many women start noticing subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) shifts in how they feel, think, and relate to the world around them. For some, it's frustration they can't quite name. For others, it's sleep disruptions, mood changes, or a fading sex drive. These changes aren't imagined and they're not always easy to talk about.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kate White about what really happens to the body and mind during midlife and why so many women feel unsupported during this transition. We explore how hormonal shifts can affect mood, memory, desire, and relationships not for everyone, but for more women than we acknowledge. Dr. White brings both her clinical experience and personal insight, shedding light on why these experiences are real, valid, and deserving of better care.We also dig into the emotional weight that comes with midlife the shifting roles as parents, professionals, and partners and how this period can lead to questioning everything from career goals to long-term relationships. It's not about assigning blame to hormones, but about recognizing them as one piece of a complex puzzle.This conversation is about validation, education, and hope. Whether you're in the thick of midlife changes or just starting to feel things shift, this episode is an invitation to listen without shame and to speak up without apology.Highlights:Why midlife can feel like an emotional landmineHow hormone changes impact libido, focus, and memoryWhat no one tells you about perimenopausal rageThe link between invisible labor and sexual disconnectionTips for recalibrating long-term relationships without blowing them upWhy naming the problem isn't blaming—it's empoweringDid you enjoy this episode?

With over 50 years of combined experience Kate as a nationally recognized gynecologist and menopause/sexual medicine specialist, and Jay as a seasoned therapist, musician, and magician they bring both clinical expertise and real-life perspective to the mic.Married for 26 years, they've weathered their own relationship evolutions while raising kids, building careers, and navigating the many curveballs of midlife. Together, they speak candidly (and often hilariously) about everything from hormones and hot flashes to emotional intimacy and second chances.Their chemistry is real, their advice is grounded, and their mission is clear: to help listeners turn the so-called “midlife crisis” into a powerful recalibration body, brain, and relationship.Get in Touch with Dr. White:WebsiteInstagram Get in Touch with Dr. Rahman:WebsiteInstagramYoutube

In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Park to explore his journey into plastic surgery and the evolution of his dual practice in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Park shares how his diverse experience allows him to blend techniques for better surgical outcomes and discusses why reconstructive surgery plays a key role in his approach. He explains his preference for using drains during abdominoplasties, including a specialized method that can reduce the need for drains but still favors them for promoting faster healing and fewer complications.The conversation dives into the patient-surgeon relationship, with Dr. Park emphasizing personalized care over the impersonal approach of mass-market surgery clinics. He explains how easy it is for non-specialist doctors to perform cosmetic procedures without proper oversight, the difficulty of removing medical licenses, and how private equity is fueling the rise of high-volume, low-quality clinics. Dr. Park exposes the dangers of misleading social media content, poor follow-up care, and the commoditization of plastic surgery that ultimately harms patient safety and surgical outcomes.Key Topics Covered:What defines reconstructive vs. cosmetic plastic surgeryWhy Dr. Park uses drains for tummy tucks and his technique to reduce drain useThe benefit of surgeons trained in multiple proceduresDangers of high-volume, mass-market surgery clinicsHow private equity affects patient care in plastic surgeryThe importance of personal care, communication, and proper follow-upWhy choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon mattersTune in now to learn what truly makes plastic surgery safe, effective, and centered around patient well-being.Follow Park Rebowe Plastic Surgery:Instagram @pr_plasticsurgeryTiktok @pr_plasticsurgery (BamaBoobdocs)Facebook @The Park Clinic MedSpa at The ParkYouTube at Park and Rebowe Clinic for Plastic Surgery and MedSpaLearn more about Park Rebowe Plastic Surgery www.parkrebowe.comFirst in the region with AAAHC-certified operating rooms & the InMode Ignite RF platform.Send us a textDo you want help planning your surgery?
