Too often, vulnerability at work is misunderstood as either oversharing or a sign of weakness. What many leaders overlook is how it can be their superpower if used the right way. In this episode, we explore how to lead with vulnerability without losing your leadership edge by pairing your openness with intention and direction. We discuss the “vulnerable leader equation,” a reminder that showing emotion or imperfection isn't weakness when paired with purpose. You'll also learn about the “vulnerability mountain” framework: identify what's easy (base camp), what's hard (the peak), and take small daily steps to climb. Plus, we touch on the importance of intention, the core of the "vulnerability wheel," and why knowing why you're opening up matters just as much as how. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman.

Welcome to my new summer series where I'm examining the complex reality of communication as a woman and how we can move beyond limiting social expectations. Despite being raised by women who fought for equality and told we could become anything, we weren't prepared for the challenges we actually face - like being perceived as dominating when we speak just 30% of the time or being interrupted twice as often as men. This series will cover essential skills like assertiveness, boundary setting, and authentic expression because I believe our best communication comes not from following rules to keep everyone comfortable, but from showing up with confidence and our authentic voice. Join me as we become more aware, confident, and at ease with communicating in all areas of our lives.

In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

With a background in storytelling, community-building, and soulful mentorship, Molly brings a grounded, compassionate lens to what it means to show up authentically in business today. In this heartfelt conversation, Margo and Molly explore what it really takes to create a business rooted in your values, especially in a digital world that often prizes noise over nuance.

Have you ever lived in a mindset where you're basically waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope feels impossible or too dangerous? It can feel safer to fly low, embrace pessimism and cynicism and think, “if life turns out half as bad as I imagine, then at least I'll be ready for it.” That's the kind of mindset Stephanie had when she was younger. Stephanie welcomes Nicole Zasowski, author and therapist, who shares wisdom on reclaiming joy and celebration in a world often dominated by worry and pessimism. Nicole's journey and research reveal that joy isn't just an emotional response, but a courageous, spiritual discipline rooted in God's faithfulness. Despite her deep faith, she had concluded that joy and celebration were risky. She was sure that celebration would come with a catch, so she became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster. And yet she discovered that our methods of self-protection came at a cost. A lot of the loss we experience in our lives is not only the grief and the disappointment itself, but also the joy that we overlook because we are too afraid to embrace it, she tells us. That's the conversation on Gospel Spice today. Understanding the Struggle with Joy Nicole begins by dispelling the myth that celebration and joy come naturally to her—in fact, her books were born from seasons marked by change, loss, and disappointment. Through experiences like moving across the country and enduring infertility and miscarriages, Nicole discovered a heartbreaking truth: much of her loss was not just in what she lacked, but in her refusal to embrace the goodness that God placed in her path out of fear that it would be taken away. This led her into research, both biblical and scientific, to understand why joy can feel so vulnerable and difficult, especially when we've experienced pain. Redefining Celebration: A Spiritual Discipline American and Western cultures, Nicole notes, often see celebration as a reward for good news or accomplishments. However, the Bible—especially the Old Testament—demonstrates celebration as a spiritual rhythm and discipline, not just a reaction. The Israelites practiced regular, scheduled celebrations and feasts, regardless of their current circumstances. These rhythms were not designed to reward themselves for their goodness, but to remember and honor God's consistent faithfulness. Celebration, then, is about choosing remembrance: looking back at God's goodness and letting that fuel hope, courage, and anticipation about the future—even when circumstances are hard. The Vulnerability of Joy Joy is inherently vulnerable because it opens our hearts to the possibility of loss. For those who have experienced pain, pessimism and cynicism can become self-protective mechanisms. However, Nicole's research and experience as a therapist show that numbing ourselves to joy doesn't actually protect us. Rather, it diminishes our ability to savor God's goodness and leaves us empty-handed in difficult times. Practical Tools for Practicing Joy Nicole emphasizes that joy, like any virtue, can and must be intentionally practiced. Two key habits can help rewire our hearts toward joy: 1. Savoring: Take mental “snapshots” of small moments, deliberately noticing what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This helps your brain store joyful experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed. 2. Thanksgiving (vs. gratitude): Beyond silently feeling grateful, speak and express thanks out loud—to God or others. Research shows that this actually heightens and solidifies joy inside us. Key Takeaways from our conversation · Joy and celebration are not merely emotions; they are spiritual practices and choices that shape us. · God invites us into rhythms of celebration even when our feelings or circumstances do not match, because it roots us deeper in remembrance of His faithfulness. · Practicing joy often feels counterintuitive—especially in pain—but it is the way God designed us to process life and hope. · Tools like savoring and thanksgiving can help transform our hearts and brains to default toward joy instead of worry or cynicism. Nicole encourages us that it's never too late to begin practicing joy, regardless of our life's season. The discipline of joy prepares us for eternity, deepening our delight in God and training our hearts for hope and celebration—no matter what comes our way.

Meet Nicole at https://www.nicolezasowski.com/ MORE ABOUT “DARING JOY” Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/daring-joy MORE ABOUT “WHAT IF IT'S WONDERFUL” What If It's Wonderful? Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it's difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave. What If It's Wonderful? offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/wonderful We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

It's very individual.” “You can't yoga your way out of a toxic work environment.” “Most leaders don't wake up and think, 'I'm going to extinguish my team today.' It happens slowly and unconsciously.” “I don't think anyone's waking up and being like, I wanna make work suck for everybody around me today!” “Leaders are people. They fail at things. They're not always doing well. And when you have this ideal leader, that's the persona you're putting on, then your employees don't trust you.” “Your behavior as a leader is the most powerful wellness intervention you can offer.” “When leaders share their struggles, it creates a ripple effect of trust.” “If you want your team to respect boundaries, you have to model them first.” “Employees don't leave jobs—they leave leaders who extinguish them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:59 Start of Interview 02:11 What is Wellness? 04:05 Generators vs. Extinguishers 07:30 When Someone is an Inconsistent Extinguisher 08:57 What are Struggle Statements? 12:50 Recognizing Burnout and Its Signs 15:51 Strategies for Post-Work Recovery 18:12 The Role of Control With Stress 19:57 An Example of Someone Transforming How They Lead for Wellness 22:11 Organizational Wellness: What's Not Working? 23:53 Authenticity and Role Modeling in Leadership 26:20 Balancing Work and Life: Integrators vs. Segmenters 27:06 Fostering Wellness at Home 27:51 End of Interview 28:20 Andy Comments After the Interview 34:35 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Patricia and her work at WorkrBeeing.com/book.

In this raw and powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with Nick Jonsson—executive coach, endurance athlete, and author of Executive Loneliness—to confront one of the most pressing issues facing men today: isolation in the midst of success. Despite the outward wins—money, titles, status—many high-performing men are silently drowning in loneliness, shame, and emotional suppression. Nick shares his journey from leading global companies to battling addiction, grief, and depression behind closed doors… and how he found his way out through vulnerability, community, and self-discovery. Together, Frank and Nick unpack the brutal truth about why men stay stuck, what keeps them silent, and how reclaiming brotherhood and emotional honesty can literally save lives. If you're a man who's crushing it on the outside but crumbling inside—this episode will hit home.
In this moving episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I'm joined by my dear friend and extraordinary speaker, Darryll Stinson — a former Division I athlete, bestselling author, and two-time TEDx speaker whose transformational journey from trauma to truth is nothing short of breathtaking. Together, we explore the alchemy of vulnerability, the healing power of self-connection, and how Darryll has turned personal pain into powerful purpose. From surviving suicide attempts to becoming a voice for mental health and emotional authenticity, Darryll offers wisdom, compassion, and clarity for anyone ready to share their story, speak their truth, and embrace their wholeness. This conversation is a testament to the power of story, the necessity of self-care, and the liberation that comes when we stop hiding and start honoring all parts of ourselves. If you've ever wondered how to alchemize your lived and learned experience into a message that heals — this episode is for you. ✨ What we explore: When we're in right relationship with ourselves, we become more free from external judgment. Visibility isn't about ego—it's about purpose. We must become fully expressed in order to fully serve. Vulnerability lives on a spectrum. It's not just about sharing trauma—it's about being open to your truth, power, and presence. Transformation begins in the mirror. Darryll shares how mirror work helped him move from self-hate to self-love. You don't need to wait for crisis to change. Your catalyst can be a conscious choice, not just a breakdown. The future belongs to fully-expressed, emotionally intelligent leaders. The next wave of speakers will embody deep self-awareness and divine availability. If this episode moved you, take a moment to pause and connect with your own story. What part of you is ready to be seen, heard, and healed?

In this week's mini-episode, I dive into the truth about vulnerability and masculinity—and how men can be emotionally open without losing respect. From hiding emotions to fearing rejection, I break down the real reasons men struggle to express themselves and how this blocks intimacy, connection, and fulfillment. Vulnerability isn't weakness—it's courageous clarity. And when practiced with integrity, it deepens relationships, builds trust, and strengthens your masculinity—not weakens it.

In this episode, Marcus speaks with Avner Baruch about the invisible costs of misalignment in go-to-market functions and why focusing on traditional sales metrics like ARR and conversion rates often misses the point. Avner shares his journey into sales enablement and how it led him to develop a methodology called Project Moneyball, which digs beneath surface metrics to uncover the real issues. By factoring in soft skills, time management, and process adoption, this approach helps teams identify problems much earlier, often during onboarding, rather than waiting months for reports to catch up.

They say that crisis reveals character, and for a brief moment, the pandemic revealed surprising financial resilience.Many Americans experienced a rare financial reset during that season, as savings rose and debt declined. But five years later, much of that progress has unraveled. Dr. Shane Enete joins us to unpack what changed—and how believers can respond faithfully in a culture gripped by renewed financial anxiety.Dr. Shane Enete is an Associate Professor of Finance at Biola University and founded the Biola Center for Financial Planning. He is also the author of the book Whole Heart Finances: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Managing Your Money with Joy.The Unexpected Silver Lining of the PandemicWhen the COVID-19 pandemic brought life to a standstill, something surprising happened with our money. Instead of overspending, many Americans buckled down.Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the U.S. Government Accountability Office showed that people used pandemic stimulus checks to reduce credit card balances and cut spending. Simultaneously, emergency fund levels rose to 20-year highs.With fewer opportunities to spend and greater economic vulnerability, people embraced margin, paid down debt, and began saving like never before. It was a rare moment of collective financial wisdom.The Return to Old HabitsBut that moment didn't last.Fast-forward to today, and the picture looks far less encouraging. Credit card debt has now surpassed $1 trillion, and six in ten Americans are uncomfortable with their emergency savings, up from just 37% before the pandemic.The decline in financial well-being is measurable. According to the CFPB's 2024 Making Ends Meet survey, the average financial well-being score dropped from 55 to 49. This score reflects how confident households feel about meeting basic expenses, like paying bills and putting food on the table.Even more concerning: over one in three Americans now carry more credit card debt than they have saved. And 42% say they couldn't go even one month without income before falling behind.Why It Matters for ChristiansSo, what's going on? Why the backslide? The answer lies not just in behavior but also in belief.Fear takes over when Jesus isn't present in our financial decisions. We start believing that we have to carry the full weight of financial responsibility. But Scripture reminds us that we have a good Father and a faithful Shepherd who provides for His children.As believers, we're called to live differently—to manage God's resources with wisdom, margin, and generosity. This begins with a mindset shift from ownership to stewardship.Many people dread the word “budget”, but we should really see this through a new lens. If budgeting is about tracking God's provision—your daily bread, your shelter, your gas money—then it becomes an act of gratitude. It's a moment to declare God's goodness.”By embracing this spiritual practice, we open a line of communication with the Lord about our finances. Budgeting isn't just math. It's discipleship.Your Next Step Toward StewardshipWhere do you begin if you want to live this way?Start simple and track your spending. Shine a light on your habits without judgment. What you illuminate can be transformed. Ephesians 5:13 says, “But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.”Using tools like the FaithFi app can help you begin this journey. And remember, you don't have to walk it alone.Living within your means, avoiding debt, and giving generously stand out in a culture of consumption. They testify to the Spirit's work in our lives, especially the fruit of self-control.When believers manage money wisely, they display a beautiful trait of the Holy Spirit. They model a life that's free, sustainable, and others-focused—the kind of financial light the world desperately needs.To read Dr. Enete's full article in the latest issue of our quarterly magazine, Faithful Steward, become a FaithFi Partner today with a gift of $35 a month or $400 a year.

Most self-help advice makes me cringe. Vision boards, “manifesting,” and the whole daily affirmation thing? Yeah, I've always put that in the woo-woo category. But lately, I've been stuck in my head, wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the classic case of overthinking everything. So I decided to try something that made me deeply uncomfortable: staring at myself in the mirror and saying things like “I am enough.” And no, I didn't spontaneously combust from secondhand embarrassment. In this episode, I test daily affirmations for a week, even the corny ones, and rope my wife into writing a few that are, well, questionable at best.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

In this episode, I dive into the exhausting reality of co-parenting with a covert narcissist, sharing real examples from my own experience that will sound painfully familiar to anyone in this situation. I break down four key traits that make co-parenting feel impossible: blame shifting, ruining special occasions, chronic unreliability, and weaponizing children's emotions. Through personal stories—from dangerous unsupervised water activities to last-minute schedule changes—I explore how these patterns affect our kids and why speaking up often makes us look like the problem. If you're questioning your sanity while trying to protect your children from a co-parent who appears decent on the surface but leaves chaos in their wake, this episode is for you. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/
In this transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe and co-host Craig Andrews welcome Peter Teuscher, an international entrepreneur, senior corporate executive, transformational coach, and passionate advocate for soulful leadership. Across a deeply engaging conversation, Peter shares the twists and lessons of his journey from building businesses in Canada to coaching executives and leading workshops around the globe. Purpose, Happiness, and Leadership in the Modern World Right from the start, Peter unpacks the single biggest lesson drawn from his years in corporate and entrepreneurial environments: the indispensable role of purpose in work and life. He shares candid reflections about how a sense of meaning—knowing your “why”—is more fundamental than any promotion or paycheck. Peter drives home the point that true fulfillment stems not just from external success, but from the alignment between daily work and deeper values. In a world obsessed with positive change, Peter urges listeners to look inward, saying positive change is best measured by your sense of fulfillment and the value you bring to others, rather than just meeting surface-level goals. Through relatable anecdotes and stories from his global travels, he reveals how cultural differences impact leadership—contrasting Asia's hierarchical structures with North America's flatter, entrepreneurial approaches—and what it truly takes to build trust and earn respect as a leader in any environment. Curiosity, Resilience, and Reinvention Curiosity, according to Peter, has been a driving force at every stage of his journey. He recounts the leap of faith it took to leave a thriving Canadian business and embrace new challenges in Europe's corporate world—underscoring that real growth often demands stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. One of the most relatable segments comes when Peter and Craig explore the “myth of the slimy salesperson.” Drawing from decades of sales experience, Peter dismantles the outdated view that sales is about persuasion or manipulation. Modern selling, he insists, is rooted in service: “How can I add value? How can I be of help?” This mindset shift is essential not only for sales pros, but for coaches, content creators, and anyone learning to value their unique contributions in business. Confidence and “knowing your worth” are recurring themes, especially for new entrepreneurs struggling to price their services or articulate their value. Peter shares his early struggles with setting rates and how underpricing or giving work away for free diminished client commitment. Ultimately, he reveals, people won't value what you don't value yourself. Balancing Strategy with Intuition When the discussion turns to coaching leaders, Peter dives deep into the art of balancing rigorous strategy with a healthy dose of intuition. He explains that strategic models are merely guidelines—adaptability, presence, and gut instinct matter just as much, especially in unfamiliar or rapidly changing contexts. Peter encourages leaders to cultivate self-awareness, listen for feedback, and not become rigidly attached to any particular plan. Unlearning Corporate Habits: The Coach's Mindset Among the most striking insights is Peter's account of transitioning from corporate leadership, where giving answers is often the expectation, to coaching, where the art lies in asking the right questions. The shift from “solving problems” for others to empowering them to find their own answers is at the heart of his approach, and one of the main reasons he believes in the transformational power of good coaching. On Failure, Vulnerability, and Growth Both Peter and Wize share honest accounts of professional and personal “failures”—or as they reframe them, crucial learning moments. From significant business losses in Canada to questioning his own purpose later in life, Peter emphasizes that it's not the setbacks themselves, but the bounce-back and lessons learned, that shape who we become. He even describes hosting “failure nights,” encouraging leaders to openly discuss mistakes in order to build resilience and foster innovation. Vulnerability, according to Peter, doesn't undermine authority—it establishes trust. He outlines how admitting mistakes, showing your human side, and being authentic at work are key to building respect and inspiring others, far more than projecting invulnerability ever could. The Power of Personal Practice Listeners are also treated to Peter's personal daily practices—especially his quarter-century commitment to meditation and grounding morning rituals. These, he says, keep him connected to his purpose and ensure he approaches each day with clarity and intention. Defining Success and a Message for Future Changemakers Success, for Peter, is not defined by material achievements, but by continual growth and happiness. He leaves the audience with a resonant piece of advice: before trying to lift up others, first develop your own potential and sense of fulfillment. Only then can you truly inspire and help those around you.

In today's episode, I sit down with author Justin Whitmel Earley. Justin's career began as a missionary in China until becoming a business lawyer. Along the way, he faced a tough mental health crisis that changed everything for him. What came out of that season? A totally different way of living. One that was shaped by intentional habits and vulnerability. We talk about the two spiritual habits he leans on the most, how being vulnerable can strengthen our friendships, and what it looks like to build deep connections with our kids (even in the midst of chaos). He also shares about his book The Big Mess - a reminder that the messiness of life, especially with our kids, can actually be a gift.

My guest is Tom Segura, renowned comedian, writer, actor and director. We discuss the “how-to” of comedy writing and storytelling, and what the science of humor and the creative process reveal about human emotion and memory. We explore why surprise and the act of "saying the unspoken truth" activate the brain's reward circuits, as well as the subconscious mechanisms that shape our sense of what is funny. The episode also examines the bi-directional influence between comedy and cultural standards. It will interest anyone curious about the science of humor, the art of performance and emotional contagion. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
