Sometimes, the hardest person to walk away from isn't the ex who hurt you.It's the new connection that felt like a fresh start. The person who came along just when you thought your heart might be ready again. In this episode I reassure you and remind you that trusting your gut is the most powerful thing you can do.

Send us a textHave you ever silenced that inner voice—the one warning you something wasn't quite right? That nagging feeling before making a poor decision, the discomfort in a healing session that didn't align with your energy, or the instant knowing that a diagnosis feels off? Today's exploration dives deep into our most underutilized superpower: intuition.We've been systematically programmed to dismiss our internal guidance system in favor of external authorities. Whether it's the doctor's white coat, the friend's well-meaning advice, or the spiritual teacher's credentials, we've learned to override our gut instincts when they conflict with these outside voices. This disconnection leaves us vulnerable, dependent, and ultimately separated from our authentic selves. Through compelling real-world examples and personal stories, we examine how this pattern plays out repeatedly in our lives, creating consequences we could have avoided by simply trusting ourselves.The journey back to self-trust begins with recognizing the difference between resonance and dissonance—those feelings of alignment or misalignment that speak volumes if we'd only listen. Your body's wisdom communicates through physical sensations, emotional responses, and subtle knowings that deserve your attention rather than dismissal. By reclaiming this internal compass and walking away from the external programming that's kept us small, we step fully into our power and sovereignty. Remember: everything you need is already within you. Your gut instinct isn't just some vague feeling—it's your divine guidance system designed to steer you toward your highest good.

Send us a textCould the solution to America's health crisis be simpler than we think? Jim Walter, cardiovascular exercise physiologist with 35 years of experience, believes so. In this eye-opening conversation, Jim challenges conventional wisdom about exercise by promoting a refreshingly accessible approach: just move more throughout your day.The statistics are sobering—25% of Americans are completely sedentary, while 60% barely do more than basic daily activities. But rather than pushing the standard 150 minutes of weekly moderate-to-vigorous exercise that many find intimidating, Jim offers practical, bite-sized movement opportunities that anyone can incorporate without disrupting their schedule.What makes Jim's approach so powerful is its simplicity. Take the stairs to a different floor for the bathroom. Stand while waiting for water to boil. Walk while talking on the phone. His "radius rule"—committing to walk rather than drive within certain distances—exemplifies how small changes compound over time. These aren't just theoretical benefits; research shows that simply replacing sitting with standing throughout the day significantly improves blood sugar and reduces body fat.Beyond physical health, Jim addresses how movement enhances family dynamics and relationships. Evening walks with spouses create meaningful conversation time. Parents can move around sports fields during children's practices instead of sitting scrolling through phones. These practices not only model healthy behaviors for children but strengthen family bonds simultaneously.As Jim eloquently rephrases JFK's famous words: "Ask not what your healthcare provider can do, ask what you can do for your health." Our bodies weren't designed for prolonged sitting—they were made to move. Start today by identifying one simple way to introduce more movement into your routine. Your future self will thank you.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com
Send us a textFor Ottawa entrepreneur Sean Frost, it starts with refusing to compromise on passion. From music producer to real estate broker, Sean's journey was anything but linear. Despite early success in a contracting business, he battled depression until he returned to his creative roots.Sean shares his unique view on failure: “Failure only happens when you give up.” He urges listeners to see pivots not as defeats, but as necessary steps toward alignment and growth.Now thriving in multiple ventures—from real estate and custom home building to music and mentoring—a common thread remains: full presence and passion. “If I wasn't 100% passionate, we wouldn't be having this conversation,” he tells host Mario P.

In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Vo, studio founder, podcast host, and now the creator of Orin Retreats, to unpack why she walked away from the startup rat race to build something intentionally small, sustainable, and soul-aligned. We talk about the version of success that nearly broke her, why the VC model fails most founders, and how depth, not scale, became her new metric for impact.

However, staying in such relationships at the end of the day may cause you more harm than good. In all honesty, there is need for a better relationship.

Former NFL star Darren Waller joins The Zac Clark Show to share his raw, unfiltered story of recovery. From overdosing on opiates in a grocery store parking lot just miles from the Ravens facility to becoming one of the league's top tight ends with the Raiders and Giants, Darren opens up about the real battle—his addiction, the search for identity, and the haunting realization that no amount of money, fame, or success can fill the hole inside.He walks us through the peaks and valleys—stocking shelves at Sprouts during a 14-month suspension, making the Pro Bowl just two years later, and ultimately walking away from a $32 million contract to honor his true self and a healthier, more peaceful path. We talk about the layers beneath addiction—childhood, shame, performance, perfectionism—and the ongoing work of healing through recovery, therapy, and faith.The dream is so often built around achievement, recognition, and external validation—but Darren's story is a powerful reminder that inner peace is worth more than any prize, paycheck, or stadium of screaming fans, and that real self-love can only come from within.Today, Darren is making music, sharing his truth through lyrics, and helping others find freedom through his non-profit, The Darren Waller Foundation. Since 2020, the foundation has helped fund recovery treatment for individuals struggling with addiction and has reached thousands through Wall Talks across the country.For information about The Darren Waller Foundation, please click here: https://darrenwaller.org/Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how mentally exhausted you feel after hours of scrolling, despite having done nothing physically demanding? That sensation is your life force being drained, one notification at a time.The digital matrix has already claimed our wallets through consumerism. It's compromised our health through processed foods and environmental toxins. Now, it's coming for what remains: our minds, attention, and time. This isn't conspiracy theory—it's the logical progression of systems designed to extract maximum value from human consciousness.Remember when people played outside until streetlights came on? When families read books together? When imagination wasn't outsourced to screens? That world still exists, but we must consciously choose it. Today's children are born into unprecedented information bombardment, and many adults have forgotten what clear thinking even feels like. The average person now absorbs more information in a single day than someone in medieval times encountered in their entire lifetime.This assault on our attention isn't random. By keeping us perpetually distracted and overwhelmed, the information overload prevents us from accessing our innate wisdom and power. It dismantles our social skills, fractures family connections, and leaves us too scattered to pursue our true purpose. The symptoms are everywhere: declining attention spans, anxiety, depression, and a profound disconnection from our authentic selves.But there's tremendous hope. Start with small acts of digital rebellion: track your screen time to become aware of your habits, designate one screen-free day per week, implement a technology curfew, or take a walk without your phone. These simple boundaries create space for original thought and reconnection with your inner guidance.Ready to break free from the information matrix? Join our community of digital rebels who are reclaiming their mental sovereignty one conscious choice at a time. Follow us for weekly digital detox challenges and share your journey toward greater presence and peace in a hyperconnected world.Support the show
Youth sports are not just sports anymore. They're a $40 billion+ industry and in this episode, we're getting all the way into it. We're talking about the emotional pressure, the social expectations, the team group chats, the $75 photo packages that somehow still exist in 2025, and why nobody tells you the signup fee is just the beginning. Whether you're new to the world of cleats and concession stands or already halfway through a season with three backup uniforms and a mini mortgage in gear, this episode will help you take a breath and get a grip.We break down the four types of spending most sports parents face:Sign-up costs (AKA the cover charge)Gear and equipment (plural. Always plural.)Lifestyle expenses (snacks, meals, coach gifts, and “team bonding” events that cost real money)Development extras (private lessons, apps, camps, and the “just in case they're great” category)We also cover several practical tips like the importance of setting a seasonal sports budget that your kid can help manage, why used gear is your best friend and where to find it, and the right time to say no and how to skip guilt with it. Whether you're trying to be the "fun" parent, the budget-conscious one, or just trying not to lose your mind, this one's for anyone raising kids in sports.

In this episode, we're talking about how to know when it's REALLY time to go. Not when your manager makes it unbearable, not when the reorg finally hits, but when YOU decide that staying is costing more than it's worth.We break down the three questions that have helped us walk away from “good” jobs and build a better life on the other side. We talk about what your job is teaching you (even when you're not paying attention), how to tell if you have any say in your future there, and why asking “would I say yes to this job today?” might be the cleanest filter of all.You'll also hear:The truth about paper-pushing, middle management, and the skill sets that aren't really transferableWhy some jobs don't just feel like relationships, they are emotional trapsHow to rebuild self-trust before you make your next moveWhat it means to leave with your dignity intact and why that's the real winIf you're at a career crossroads or know someone who is, this one's for you.

In this episode we are joined by Julien and Kiersten Saunders, co-creators of rich & REGULAR and authors of 'Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away'. What started as a blog in 2017 has grown into a multimedia powerhouse, all centered around their mission… to inspire better conversations about money. Hear why Julien walked out of corporate life before he had 'FU money,' and how Kiersten's Valentine's Day resignation collided with the pandemic. They also talk to us about: Their 15-year 'Cashing Out' career sprint The power of 'Money on the Table' (think Anthony Bourdain meets FIRE) The joy of raising an eight-year-old who calls 78-year-olds his besties A reminder that aiming for the heart—rather than the wallet—can turn any late start into a blockbuster finale
Most money advice assumes you're either bad at math or just need more discipline, but what if the real reason your budget isn't working is because it was never designed for how you actually spend?In this episode, we revisit a section from our book Cashing Out that recently got new life thanks to a great piece written by our friend Leo Aquino for Business Insider. It's all about the three emotional spending profiles we've seen over and over again: Fast Spenders, Financially Insecure, and what we call "The Middle".And no, these aren't zodiac signs. You're not locked in for life, but recognizing your dominant spending energy right now can help you stop fighting your habits and start building wealth around them.We break down what drives each type's spending behavior, what actually works for them (that they'll stick with), and what absolutely does not work, no matter how many times the internet suggests it.

In this soul-stirring episode of Speak Up, Stand Out, and Change Lives, Whitney McDuff sits down with Sarah Soars, an ordained pastor whose radical transformation began the day she chose to step beyond traditional ministry roles and deeper into her own inner truth.Sarah shares the deeply personal and courageous journey that led her to take a break from church staff leadership, walk 175 miles on the Camino de Santiago, and ultimately build a life rooted in authenticity, spiritual freedom, and radical self-trust. This is not just a story of change, it's a story of return. Return to self. To voice. To the quiet knowing that guides us when everything else falls apart.If you've ever wondered what it really takes to let go of the life you built to become the person you were meant to be, this conversation is your permission slip.Connect with Sarah Soars:Website: sarahsoars.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahsoarsspeaks/_______________________Connect with Whitney McDuffWhitney McDuff Consulting –––––––––––––––––––––––––––Track: Welcome — Declan DP [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: • Welcome — Declan DP | Free Background...

Every year, we set aside an episode just for new grads, and this year's version is an evolved view of last year's advice to “Get Paid”. Because let's keep it a buck, the Class of 2025 is graduating into a mess.The job market is weird, AI is replacing entry-level work, internships aren't converting, and employers say they're hiring, but for what? Meanwhile, everything is expensive and everyone online is yelling about branding yourself by Tuesday.So in this episode, we're flipping the script on the typical “follow your dreams” fluff and offering a much-needed mindset shift: Get paid to learn. Not just money, not just skills. Both. Because learning is leverage and knowing how to spot a valuable opportunity might be the most important skill of all.This one's for grads, career switchers, freelancers, and frankly anyone who wants to learn how to assess opportunities based on what they give you, not just what they demand.We talk about:Why “getting paid to learn” is the new cheat code for a strange economyThe difference between being used vs. being taught and how to tellWhy not every low-paying job is a bad one (and not every high-paying one is good)How to ask better questions in interviews that reveal the real value of a jobHow Kiersten builds her learning budgetA personal story from Julien about how a $40K contractor role helped build a six-figure skillsetLinks: Episode 203 - Gen Z deserves better financial adviceEpisode 164 - The New Rules of Success (Advice for Class of 2024) Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

Sometimes you need a little extra money, but what you don't need is another boss, a second shift, or a business plan you'll never finish. In this episode, we're walking through some of the most overlooked ways to earn extra income. Everything from plasma donation, junk hauling, voiceovers, waiting in line, and a few others I can't put in the description without attracting a bunch of bots. We're challenging the idea that income only comes from jobs. We talk about the emotional (and sometimes physical) tradeoffs, how to spot seasonal bonuses and low-competition opportunities, and why the best side hustles don't always look like work.These are the kind of gigs that don't require a résumé or a 5-year commitment, just a willingness to try something different. Whether you're saving for a trip, refilling your emergency fund, or just need to solve a $500 problem fast, there's something in here for you.In this episode, we cover:Why so many people default to getting another job and what to try insteadThe emotional cost of “just one more shift” when you're already stretched thinHow overlooked, seasonal, or location-based gigs can fill a short-term income gapThe surprising ways people are using their bodies, tools, and free time to get paidWhat makes a side hustle worth doing without turning into a second careerHow to think creatively about short bursts of work that solve real-life money problems Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

What if the secret to freedom wasn't in a flashy startup or the next big trend… but in notes? In this power-packed, soul-stirring episode, Kimberly Spencer sits down with note investor, wealth coach, and absolute powerhouse Hànanda Whittingham, who shares her jaw-dropping journey from walking away with just $162 to multiplying her net worth by 1,000% in five years. Yup—Queen didn't just survive, she THRIVED. But this convo is about more than money. It's about integrity as your north star, why visibility is both a business strategy and a personal revolution, and how your story doesn't need everyone's permission—just your power. Hànanda unpacks how note investing creates real safety for women—like, the kind of safety that lets you walk away from toxic jobs, relationships, or anything that dims your light. She shares the heart-wrenching story that sparked her mission and how she helps women step into their role as first lien holders—aka financial QUEENS. If you've ever felt paralyzed by fear, unsure what to share, or stuck in a cycle of “meh” mediocrity, this episode is your invitation to rise. This is not just a conversation—it's a transformational transmission for every woman who's ready to own her wealth, her worth, and her damn crown.
This week's episode is about decision-making and how to know what's actually worth it when you work for yourself.We recorded this right after speaking at a conference in Jamaica where we walked through some of our own real-life crossroads as business owners with a group of entrepreneurs. The talk resonated so deeply, the only feedback we got was: “Can you just put this all on one page?”This is our answer to that.We're talking about those high-stakes, low-certainty moments every entrepreneur, side hustler, or freelancer has to face eventually like what to sell, when to say yes, how to price your work, when to hire help, whether to spend or play it safe. And, maybe most importantly, how to move when the pressure's on and the money feels tight (or even when it's flowing).We get into:Why emotional decisions are so expensiveWhat Annie Duke's poker strategy has to do with entrepreneurshipThe $500 mistake we made early on that cost us doubleHow to protect yourself from thinking too small without blowing your budgetAnd the biggest difference between people who survive in business and people who burn out earlyWhether you're self-employed, freelancing, or bootstrapping something new, your decision-making process should match the size of what you're trying to build.

It's the last Monday of Financial Literacy Month 2025, and unless you've been living under a rock or blissfully disconnected, you've probably heard the noise about tariffs lately. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are climbing as high as 145%, with threats to go even higher. And while it's tempting to think that's a political issue, the truth is tariffs effect your wallet and budget. In this episode, we're breaking down what tariffs actually are, how they distort prices, and why understanding how prices are shaped has never been more important. Because if you don't understand how prices are set, you don't really understand how money moves, and in a world where price tags lie, shrink, surge, and shapeshift every few months, that's not just an economic problem. That's a literacy problem.We cover:Why it's so hard to just "make everything in America", even if you want toHow companies quietly pass tariff costs onto you and how to spot itReal-world tools to build price literacy and become a sharper consumer and investorWhat it means to see yourself as part of the global exchange, and why that gives you more financial power, not less.Links: Kim Lewis reel on luxury prices (bonus: watch our interview with Kim here) CamelCamelCamel - Amazon Price TrackerGoogle Chrome Price Tracker Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

This week, we're breaking down bankruptcy in the way it should've been explained all along: without shame, without legal jargon, and without the “womp womp” energy we've all been taught to bring to it.You've probably heard of Chapter 7. Maybe even Chapter 13. But unless you've filed for bankruptcy, or know someone who has, you've likely never learned what it actually means.We kick things off with the viral rise of the “debt strike” trend on TikTok and Instagram, where people are publicly declaring they're done paying back debt and explore what it says about our cultural relationship to money, morality, and relief.Then we get into:What Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 actually areWho qualifies and howWhat a “means test” is and how it worksWhat happens to your credit score and your sanityThe real costs (financial, emotional, and social) of filingAnd why bankruptcy might more of a mental health intervention than we give credit for Along the way, we myth-bust the stereotypes and unpack why bankruptcy, like divorce, might just be a legal reset that deserves more empathy and way less side-eye.Links: Episode 174: A spike in bankruptcy (Topic #2) Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

What if we told you there are cities in the U.S. that will pay you to live there?In this episode, we're following up on our popular expat conversation with a deep dive into domestic relocation incentives. We're talking cash grants, down payment assistance, tax breaks, bikes, and even golf memberships offered by places you may have never considered calling home. Think Jackson, Michigan. Pawnee City, Nebraska. Topeka, Kansas. Tulsa, Oklahoma. Yes, they're real places, and they're putting real money on the table.If you've ever felt stuck in an expensive city, or fantasized about starting fresh but didn't know where to start, or if you're just tired of stretching every dollar, this episode is for you. But before you start packing, let's talk fine print.We break down:Why the U.S. is basically 50 mini countries in a trench coat (and no, that's not us being dramatic, it's federalism)How states differ more than you think, from taxes and politics to culture and cost of livingWhy moving two states over might require just as much mindset work as moving abroadWhat the actual catches are in these incentive programs (spoiler alert: it's not free money, and yes, some of y'all might have to check in like you're on parole)How to research a city's vibe without getting on a plane, from Facebook groups to Yelp reviews to Google Maps street view Links: Episode 205 - Expat Life: how to test the waters and decide if you should dive inMakeMyMove.com – Find relocation incentive programsReddit subs: r/relocating, r/digitalnomadZillow, CNET, NY Post listicles (search “cities that will pay you to move 2025”) Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

If you've ever felt the pressure to hold it all together or questioned what you're really chasing, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Jenn Kennedy for a raw and powerful conversation about walking away from a 7-figure business, healing the addiction to doing, and redefining success as a female breadwinner. We dive into what it really feels like to untangle your identity from achievement, why surrender isn't something you can force, and how true healing often requires completely letting go. Tune in for a conversation about building success on a completely new foundation.
Most people aren't neutral about the idea of living in a car, and that's exactly why we needed to talk about it.This week, we dig into the stigma, structure, and stories behind van life. It's not a guide on how to gut a Sprinter or stealth-camp in a Target parking lot, it's a deeper exploration of what it means to live differently and why that still freaks people out.From the viral story of Dawn Robinson of En Vogue (yes, *that* Dawn) who shared that she's been living in her car by choice for the past three years, to our personal stories of barbers, truckers, and friends navigating life on the margins of “traditional” housing, we cover the full terrain of what it means to opt out of the norm. Spoiler alert: it's complicated.We cover:Why alternative housing is still treated as “failure” unless it's influencer-approvedThe invisible infrastructure that makes van life even possible and why it's not always fully “off-the-grid”Why HUD, housing policy, and language matter more than you thinkThe difference between choosing van life vs. surviving itHow Black culture relates to nontraditional housing, and why we don't often see ourselves in the #vanlife aestheticThe emotional, financial, and logistical costs of so-called “freedom”This is one of those “sit with it” episodes. It's not about romanticizing struggle or glamorizing minimalism, it's about challenging the way we define dignity, shelter, success, and the American dream.Because let's be honest: if someone chooses to live in a van and finds peace, why does it make the rest of us so uncomfortable?Listen in. Challenge your definitions. And maybe, just maybe, reconsider what home really means.

This week, we're sharing 3 of our best tips on how to live on a single income. It's a topic that might feel distant, perhaps even undesirable, but for many, it's becoming an increasingly relevant concern.We've lived the single-income life by choice and by circumstance. It's not always pretty, but it can be done. And sometimes, being forced to tighten your belt is the exact kick in the pants you need to get your financial house in order.Whether you choose to live on one income as some kind of FIRE-adjacent power move, or you're forced into it by circumstances beyond your control, the real challenge isn't just the spreadsheet gymnastics. It's the people part.So this episode gets into the conversations, the compromises, and the potential points of friction that can arise in a partnership when resources become more constrained.We discuss: Addressing the emotional landscape: Living on one income throws all sorts of messy emotions into the mix. Who gets to spend? Who's giving up more? Is this forever, or just until something changes? These aren't spreadsheet questions, they're relationship questions..How to make negotiation your new love language: We break down how to negotiate fairly as you create a budget when the stakes feel high and everyone's nerves are shotGetting more comfortable saying No: Living on one income means saying "no"... a lot. To your partner, to your kids, to your friends, and maybe most importantly, to yourself. We unpack the guilt that inevitably comes with that, especially when you feel like you're letting people down.Strategic decluttering and selling your stuff with intention: The process of selling personal items for cash can be more emotionally involved than it appears. We talk about the surprisingly emotional process of selling your belongings and how to actually make it work, practically and emotionally.Links: Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Julien and Kiersten Saunders The Two-Income Trap by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi Episode 155: The FinTech Toolkit Episode 149: Buying used vs. new Episode 130: How to sell your stuff online Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.
