Description:Today's guest is someone who instantly made an impression on Jen when they met at a recent Hello Sunshine event in LosAngeles, when she moderated a Shine Away panel with Jen and beloved 9010 star and recent For the Love guest, Jennie Garth. Within five minutes Jen thought, “Okay… she's one of us.” Warm, sharp, steady — Kanika Chadda-Gupta has this grounding presence that makes a whole room exhale. An award-winning former CNN journalist and producer, Kanika built a thriving career in television news before motherhood rerouted her life in the most profound way. Born in India and raised in the U.S., her story is braided with themes so many of us know intimately: immigration and bicultural identity, the expectations women inherit, the invisible labor we carry, and the endless negotiation between ambition, caregiving, and our own becoming. Today, Kanika is the creator and host of the beloved Total Mom Sense podcast, where she distills her lived experience — raising children while caring for aging parents, navigating mental and emotional load, reinventing purpose in midlife — into practical wisdom for women who are doing it all and feeling all of it. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when life asks us to reevaluate our pace, our priorities, and the stories we've been handed about success. We discuss staying rooted inside seasons of huge responsibility, finding yourself in the middle of caregiving, and reclaiming a sense of agency and identity in motherhood and beyond. If you've ever felt stretched thin between generations, pulled in every direction, or unsure how to follow your own calling while caring for everyone else — Kanika's clarity and compassion will feel like a deep breath. This one's for all of us standing at the intersection of who we were, who we are, and who we're still becoming. Thought-provoking Quotes: "I like getting the gold star from all of my teachers. I did all the AP classes. I hung out with my teachers at lunchtime. We had open lunch, and it was like you could go to McDonald's, or you could go across the street to the pizza place. But I would go sit with Ms. Townsend, my biology teacher, and just kick it.” – Kanika Chadda-Gupta "It may be, the only headlights that you see heading to the eye of the storm are the first responders and the reporters. And I thought, I want to be in the eye of the storm. I belong here. I need to be here. I need to prove myself. And so then I stayed.” – Kanika Chadda-Gupta "I was most surprised by how your kids will make you face your childhood trauma head on. My dad and I get along great now, but when we were younger, he would say things that really just shot my self-esteem. And those are the first things that come up when my kids do something wrong and I'm like, wow, I gotta reframe." – Kanika Chadda-Gupta Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Hello Sunshine Shine Away Conference 2025 – https://shineaway.hello-sunshine.com/event/eddb3575-ec80-4812-a371-354c900d7cbf/summary Jim Gaffigan, comedian – https://www.jimgaffigan.com/ Mom Brain with Hilaria Baldwin and Daphne Oz - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mom-brain/id1438292826 Guest's Links: Website - https://kanikachaddagupta.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Twitter - https://x.com/KanikaChadda Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgkOq_AmLsvu6YJsKglQvSw TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kanikachaddagupta?lang=en Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Podcast - https://kanikachaddagupta.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Vanessa called us after a coffee date in San Mateo with Logan—a guy she described as warm, grounded, and the kind of “real grown-up” energy she's been looking for. They swapped book recs, bonded over bad bosses, and agreed breakfast burritos are basically morning royalty. So why did Mr. Mature suddenly vanish? We dig in.

In this wide-ranging episode, Adam and Peter bounce from freezing winter runs in Massachusetts to sun-soaked reflections on a long weekend in Turks and Caicos—comparing costs, culture, food, and, most importantly, internet reliability. They swap stories about parasailing highs, Caribbean sushi lows, and what really makes a place work for a “working vacation.” Along the way, the conversation drifts into guilty pleasures (holiday movies and eggnog), Netflix's evolution and media acquisitions, old-school internet bandwidth realities, and how technology has quietly reshaped work and travel. The episode wraps with thoughtful takes on wealth, history, selling gear the smart way, and even how to make cheap coffee taste a little better.   Links: Garmin Forerunner® 965 Running Smartwatch, Colorful AMOLED Display - https://amzn.to/3MrPYZA Netflix - A Castle for Christmas - https://www.netflix.com/title/81026181 Youtube - https://youtu.be/-WqSwMaiOPg Learn More About the Hosts: PeterNikolaidis.com https://YogaWithPeter.com  https://friendswithbrews.com  Adam Bell Roaming Roan Lavender Farm https://rrlavenderfarm.com

Send us a textA single choice can shape a lifetime. When Nigel Hughes told a careers panel he'd choose ballet over the Marines, he set a compass for courage, creativity, and connection that still points true decades later. We invite you into Nigel's “clearing”—a 1642 Suffolk cottage turned open house—where hedges host micro-moths, neighbours drop by for sugar-free Black Forest gâteaux, and leadership looks like tending land until it teaches you how to lead.The story travels far beyond the garden gate. In Papua New Guinea, Nigel and his partner used theatre—songs, stories, and dugout canoes—to help local communities see what was at stake as industrial logging closed in. Their work helped protect 2,000 square miles of primary rainforest and seeded a long-term push toward World Heritage status. He calls it global kinship, a respectful exchange that begins with listening rather than lecturing. Along the way, we meet mentors who challenged him to be “dangerous or dead,” and we hear how personal rituals—like watching evening primrose bloom at dusk—guided him through cancer and back into purpose.Closer to home, Nigel's philosophy shows in the details: a biodiverse, organic landscape that encouraged neighbouring farms to go chemical-free; a practice of meditation and deep listening; a belief that internal diversity—ballet in the morning, county rugby in the afternoon—creates stronger, more human leaders. He worries about phone addiction and the loss of face-to-face connection, yet remains relentlessly optimistic that attention, courage, and care can leave places and people better than we found them. If you're ready to rethink leadership as leaving more life behind than you took, this conversation will meet you where your feet are and invite you to stand for something that lasts.Subscribe, share with someone who loves nature and bold ideas, and leave a review to help others find the show.

The Articulate Fly wraps up 2025 with the final Southwest Virginia Fishing Report featuring New River musky guide Matt Reilly, who shares essential winter musky fishing strategies and cold weather survival tactics in this fly fishing podcast. As water temperatures drop to the critical 42-43°F threshold post-Thanksgiving, Reilly explains how musky transition into the deepest, slowest-moving winter holes on Southwest Virginia rivers. Learn a proven technique for locating winter musky by observing carp and suckers, which congregate in the same deep-water structures as muskies during cold months. Reilly provides detailed cold weather fishing gear recommendations including his layered glove system (latex gloves under fingerless insulated gloves), Simms Challenger insulated bibs, cold weather Buffs and chemical hand warmers that keep anglers comfortable in freezing conditions. With low, clear water conditions and fluctuating temperatures between snow and 50-degree days, understanding these winter musky patterns and prioritizing comfort over fishing are keys to success.To learn more about Matt, check out our full length interview.All Things Social MediaFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

In this week's episode, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly settle in for a cozy (and sometimes emotional) holiday chat. The moms dive into the chaos of preparing for Christmas and wanting to be wherever their kids are. Melissa opens up about the lingering PTSD she's been facing after the traumatic loss of her dog, sharing how grief can unexpectedly shape this season. Kelly admits the shift into winter has her feeling extra tired and sluggish—because when it gets dark at 4:30, who isn't ready for bed? And Jill, of course, tries to keep everyone on track while still navigating her own holiday to-dos and trying to avoid getting sick. The trio also tackles one of the season's trickiest questions: What on earth do you gift the everyday heroes in your life—your mail carrier, hairstylist, nail tech, teachers, and everyone in between?

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Rodric sits down with entrepreneur and former teacher Billy Sammons, founder of Live Local Warm Marketing, to talk about ditching cold leads and building a business on relationships instead.Billy shares how a simple decision to film a free commercial for a local brewery turned into a repeatable strategy for meeting business owners, becoming the “mini mayor” of his town, and growing his business for 16+ years without buying leads or getting yelled at on cold calls at 9am.They dig into why builders and other local pros can't afford to just sit in their trucks waiting for million-dollar jobs to fall from the sky, how to become the person everyone in your town knows and trusts, and why old-school human connection is about to matter even more in an AI-saturated world.You'll also hear Billy's simple 3-step warm marketing framework, his barebones video setup, and a powerful conversation about burnout, time, and only saying yes to opportunities you'd be willing to do tomorrow.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy Billy walked away from cold leads after one week and built his business through warm, local relationships instead.How a free commercial for a local brewery became the blueprint for Live Local Warm Marketing.The power of serving business owners first so they open their audiences up to you.How builders and other pros can stop “doing nothing” for marketing and start attracting ideal clients locally.Billy's simple 3-question framework for warm marketing: who you need to meet, how you can add value, and what they actually need.The minimal tech setup for effective local video: phone, tripod, and lapel mic.Why handwritten notes, lunches, and “hand-to-hand combat” will always beat passive social media alone.How to think about burnout, boundaries, and time so you can keep adding value without working yourself into the ground.Highlights & Timestamps[02:30] Who is Billy Sammons and what is Live Local Warm Marketing?Billy introduces himself and explains how he teaches entrepreneurs to grow with warm marketing instead of cold leads, paid lists, and miserable cold calls.[03:40] The brewery commercial that started it allBilly shares his “superhero origin story”: a new local brewery, a free commercial, and how that one act of generosity turned into more videos, more relationships, and a thriving referral network.[04:50] From growing an audience to serving business ownersBilly realizes that the real niche isn't just building his own audience—it's meeting business owners, giving them something valuable, and letting their audiences discover him in return.[05:45] Builders doing “nothing” for leadsRodric talks about home builders who spend $0 on marketing, sit in their trucks waiting for million-dollar jobs, and then wonder why they don't have leads. They riff on simple lead magnets, real value, and how warm marketing fits in.[07:45] Case study: becoming the preferred builder for a big employerRodric shares a client example: a builder who approached a major trucking company to become the preferred builder for their C-suite. Billy breaks down why it's smart and how he'd think about adding value to larger companies.[09:30] Finding pain points and adding value (including short-term rentals)They brainstorm ways builders can help with relocation, short-term housing, and solving real problems for big employers—then tying that into permanent home builds.[10:30] Where do you start if you're overwhelmed?Billy walks through a starting point using real estate as an example: lenders, title companies, breweries, bakeries, charities, schools, and other local...

She's now channeling that mission into a new nonprofit designed to gift widowed parents and their kids fully funded, memory-making vacations that help them breathe, reconnect, and rediscover joy.

In this episode Brad puts me in the hot seat to break down how I actually use podcasting as a relationship engine, a content machine, and a long-game business strategy. We talk consistency, guests, gear, distribution, and why downloads don't matter nearly as much as people think.Key Highlights:- Podcasting is a mindset, not a metric:It's about relationships, reps, and distribution — not downloads.- Stop worrying about saturation:There isn't your podcast yet. That's the only one missing.- Consistency wins:I've released my Friday rant every week for 5+ years — no excuses.- 1,200+ episodes later…The show became my own mastermind, business school, and network builder.- Best guests aren't the "big names.":My highest-performing episode was a first-time guest with a powerful story.- Ask questions others don't:Look for what lights your guest up, not just what they're known for.- Start simple:Cheap mic, basic webcam, Zoom/Riverside — and launch with 10 episodes ready.- Repurpose everything:One episode becomes clips, emails, blogs, YouTube — a full content ecosystem.- Let the first 35 episodes teach you:The show evolves. Don't force a niche too early.- Podcasting grows your business indirectly:Warm relationships - cold DMs. Clients often come months later.If you liked this episode, share it with someone sitting on the fence about starting a podcast.

This is a lively, fireside wander through the strange and splendid history of the mince pie. It begins in medieval kitchens where the pie was a hefty mix of meat, fruit and spice, travels through the Puritan years when it was frowned upon, and arrives in the present as the sweet little symbol of Christmas we know today. The piece explores how mince pies delight the British, baffle the Americans, and bewilder the French, especially now that Marks and Spencer has vanished from Paris. Warm, humorous and full of festive colour, it celebrates the mince pie as a tiny pastry with a very large story.

Ask David Why do I obsess? Why do I have to be perfect? How can I share my feelings without oversharing? The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Here are the questions for today's podcast. Zhang asks: I have intrusive daydreams and obsess about getting things perfect? What's causing this? And what can I do? Yevhen asks: How can I use "I Feel" Statements without oversharing? But first, we start today's podcast with a comment from Susan, one of our podcast fans. She extends our discussion of whether friendship is more of a human "need" or a human "want." She describes her work with Dr. Daniel Herman, a Level 4 certified TEAM CBT therapist. Hi Rhonda, Matt, and David, First, I wanted to say I am so glad sweet Rhonda is feeling better. This is wonderful news! I have been a fan of Dr. Burns books for 10+ years and of the podcast for 3 years. I just finished listening to podcast #469 on friendship and felt compelled to share my story as it relates to Team CBT. Three years ago, my 23 year-old son entered a 90 day inpatient rehabilitation center for a marijuana addiction followed by 1 1/2 years in a sober living facility. Six months into his recovery, I reached out to Dr. Daniel Hermann, a Team CBT level 4 therapist. At that time, my son's progress had been steady yet I was still suffering greatly. One of many thoughts that contributed to my suffering was that my friends couldn't understand what I was going through. Although I have been fortunate to have had many wonderful friendships for 30+ years, Although I was open with my friends about my struggles, I generally didn't feel they understood what I was going through and I felt isolated. Fortunately, Dr. Herman did not try to convince me that I "needed" these friendships or to be understood to "get through" this difficult time. Instead, he helped me to look at the situation realistically, without distortions. My positive reframe regarding my friends was "I wish I could have felt closer to my friends during this difficult time. However, there are many ways in which I have supported myself and I have found other outside sources of comfort also." I made a very detailed list of the myriad of ways I had supported myself which brought me great comfort and empowerment. I was able to accept that I wasn't feeling as close to my friends as I would have liked, without blaming them or myself. I also let go of my belief that my friends "should" have been able to empathize better with what I was going through. I learned that although I truly value these friendships, if I expect them to mean everything to me in every situation, I will be setting myself up for a lot of suffering. I am so happy that sweet Rhonda had those strong friendships to help her during such a dark time. She is very fortunate! Since Rhonda had a change of heart during the podcast, the following comments are based on her beliefs at the beginning of the podcast: that the support of her friends is a need and that she could not have "gotten through" her treatments without it. Did Rhonda mean that she would have not sought cancer treatment, the treatments would have been ineffective, or that she would have ended her life without the support of her friends? Would she have told a client of hers in a similar situation that she needed to focus all her time and effort on developing meaningful friendships rather than treating her cancer because friendship was the true need? Obviously, I don't believe she would have and am glad that she had a change of heart regarding this belief. Thank you all for your wonderful podcasts! Susan The point I was trying to make is that Dr. Hermann himself did not appear to believe in these self-defeating beliefs, contrary to public opinion. This was essential to me coming to the same conclusions. (To be clear, he NEVER told me what to believe lol. I was paying him but I did all the work! Frustrating at times but coming to my own conclusions was the only way to internalize these messages.) Zhang asks: I have intrusive daydreams and obsess about getting things perfect? What's causing this? And what can I do? Dear Dr. Burns, Thank you so much for your kind and prompt reply. I truly appreciate you taking the time to direct me to the additional resources on your website—I have found them and am already finding them very helpful. Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in responding. The beginning of the new semester has kept me quite occupied, and I have only now found a moment to write to you properly. I am writing to you again because I have been struggling with some persistent challenges and was hoping I might ask for your guidance. Lately, I often find myself distracted by vivid, intrusive daydreams—I create elaborate imaginary stories or visualize worst-case scenarios, such as natural disasters. In addition, I have developed what feels like an obsessive need to keep my books in perfect condition. Even minor wear causes me significant anxiety, and I find it difficult to stop thinking about it if I cannot repair the damage. These thoughts and behaviors are beginning to affect my daily life, and I was wondering if you might have any advice or suggested resources that could help me better understand and manage them. Thank you once again for your generosity and support. Your work has already made a profound difference in my life. Warm regards, Zhang  David's response Thanks, Zhang. There are many methods and ideas in When Panic Attacks, my book on anxiety. In particular, the Hidden Emotion Technique might interest you. If you are in the US, there is a class on it in the Feeling Great app, which is free until the end of September, so move fast. Also, I would like to include this as an Ask David, if that's okay. Can use your first name, or a fake name. Best, david   Yevhen asks: How can I use "I Feel" Statements without oversharing? Hello Dr. Burns, Rhonda, and Matt, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the remarkable work you're doing in the field of TEAM-CBT. Your books and your voice of reason have been an immense help to me in some of the most difficult times. Dr Burns, I always feel amazed hearing your wisdom and patience each time you explain the concepts. Even those concepts that were explained before. Additionally, thank you Dr Burns, Rhonda and Matt, for the exceptional Feeling Good podcast you host. Each new episode is a highlight of my week and nearly always offers profound insight and encouragement. On a lighter note, I sometimes play your podcast at night when I have trouble sleeping. It really helps me drift off within 20-30 minutes

What communication trend have you seen lately that instantly makes you pull back, question someone's motives, or delete their message altogether. In this episode, Nikki Rausch breaks down one of the most damaging habits showing up in sales outreach right now. It is the "compliment followed by an insult" approach, a tactic meant to create quick intimacy but that actually destroys trust. Nikki explains why this trend is spreading, why so many podcasters and business owners are experiencing it, and how it undermines the very relationships sellers are trying to build. Nikki starts by unpacking the pattern: a message begins with a flattering comment about you or your work, then immediately pivots to an insult about everyone else. It might sound like "I love your show because you ask real questions unlike most hosts who only care about pitching their guests." On the surface it looks like appreciation, but the hidden message is clear. If someone insults others to win your approval, you naturally wonder what they say about you when they move on to the next conversation. Nikki explains how this tactic creates a sense of unsafety for the recipient, erodes credibility, and closes the door on meaningful sales conversations. It is manipulative positioning disguised as praise. Instead of falling into this communication trend, Nikki offers practical guidance for building genuine rapport. She encourages listeners to give specific, sincere compliments without comparisons. Make it about the person you are reaching out to, not about elevating yourself at the expense of others. Personalized outreach rooted in clarity and respect naturally opens the door to connection. Nikki also highlights the importance of giving people an easy, graceful way to decline. When the pressure is off, responses tend to be more honest and more positive. Nikki closes the episode with actionable steps to upgrade your communication. Practice offering compliments that are grounded in real observations. Warm up your leads rather than relying on cold, generic messages. Think about how your outreach will make the other person feel and whether your tone communicates safety and goodwill. When clarity, sincerity, and respect are at the center of your communication, trust follows. And trust is the real foundation of every successful sales relationship.
