Your family helped a 62-year-old convict who was "wrongfully convicted" of the statutory rape of his stepdaughter get back on his feet -- until he went off and eloped with your 23-year-old sister. Now that conviction seems like it might not have been so wrongful after all, and you're wondering how you can protect your sister if he's just been on the hunt for another victim. We'll try to help find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now let's dive in! Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/562 On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Why did our advice to the job negotiator in episode 553 seem counter to our usual stance on negotiation? How can you make sure your 23-year-old sister is safe now that she's eloped with a 62-year-old ex-con? You're vaccinated and set to be the maid of honor at a wedding, but you're uneasy because the groom's family doesn't even believe in COVID -- and will be taking zero precautions to protect themselves and others (in spite of the recent surge in delta variant deaths). How do you express your concerns to the bride-to-be without losing your lifelong friend? You're a busy stay-at-home mom and newly full-time student trying to stay focused, but your husband has gotten in the habit of calling you from work -- sometimes for an hour at a time. Is there a nice way to convey that when he's working, you're working, too, and he should reserve these calls for emergencies? Your teen daughter suffered a brain injury that has left her with daily headaches, nausea, dizziness, and head fog. Now she's under pressure to apply to colleges, but she's angry and behaving like a victim instead of doing the necessary work to regain her cognitive performance. How can you help her make progress instead of enabling her inaction? You're eager to start your own business as a wedding coordinator after hiring one for your own wedding and realizing your company vastly underpays you. Is there a protocol for asking this person for advice even though they would technically be your competition? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

When I first started my career as a speech-language pathologist, I never thought I would own a business. I honestly used to think that business was boring… I only ever wanted to help people, and I didn't think that becoming a business owner was the way to do that. You might think the same thing! Even if your instinct is to think that business is boring and you see yourself primarily as a helping people person, this episode offers some really valuable lessons. In the episode, I am sharing three lessons from business leaders that helped me become the successful business owner that I am today. I share quotes from Franklin Covey, Marie Forleo, and Zig Ziglar, and how they relate to owning a private practice. In Today's Episode, We Discuss: Why you should think about your final vision first The mindset you need to adopt when you feel stuck How to have everything you want in life Why you need to stop putting yourself last Remember, if you put your clients and yourself first, you can all have what you want. I encourage you to grab a post-it note, write down these three lessons and decide how you're going to put them into practice. One year from now, see how far you've come!  If you'd like guidance in a private community or help along your private practice journey, visit http://www.independentclinician.com (www.independentclinician.com) to get access to resources to help you!

Your best friend speaks glowingly about her fiancé, but she lives far away and your recent communications have only taken place by text and telephone. The thing is, this fiancé seems to be ever-present and listening in the background whenever she's in contact, and she let it slip that he's fantasized about seeing her lick from a dog's dish. You're worried he might be controlling every aspect of her life, but she doesn't seem to be distressed. Could what you perceive to be tyrannical oversight just be part of a consensual power dynamic they've established in their relationship? We'll try to find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week!

Now let's dive in! Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/553 On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Why are height and salary correlated? [Thanks to Scott Galloway for this one!] Is your best friend really being controlled by a domineering fiancé, or is this just a consensually kinky aspect of their relationship? Your ex-husband swapped out libido-killing medication (that treated his anxiety and depression, but contributed to your divorce) for cannabis and junk food. This seems to leave him with a loss of appetite, but how can you find reliable information to confirm what's really going on and help him out of his funk? Should you file an ethics complaint against your neighbor who's trying to sabotage your home sale -- after refusing your initial, generous offer to sell to them first? [Once again, thanks to Corbin Payne for helping us with this one!] How do you know when it's time to stop negotiating and accept the terms of a job offer without feeling like you've left some unknown variable on the table? You now make even more money in 10 hours or less per week than you did in 70 hours working for someone else. But how can you dispel the anxiety and guilt you feel because your supportive partner is still grinding out 60-hour workweeks? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

In This Episode: Bridget and Dana answer the question many people have as they make peace with food and develop eating habits that feel better mentally and physically: "So I'm supposed to just love THIS body?"

Or, stay stuck in the dieting cycle forever with the hope that you'll achieve a body you love.  On the Pod, We Discuss: Why you don't have to choose between controlling food to have a body you love, or having freedom around food but struggling to accept your body How to get clarity around how you want to feel  Practical ways to improve your body image while also maintaining a healthy relationship with food Helpful Links: Get our free video series: How to Stop Hating Your Body Watch our free masterclass to learn 5 Simple Shifts to End Binge Eating Join our private Facebook group Set up a free Breakthrough Session to see if our coaching program is a good fit for you Learn more about Food Freedom Academy, our personalized Intuitive Eating Coaching Program

Why We Love Dr. Dodell: Dr. Gregory Dodell is a board-certified endocrinologist. He received his medical degree from Albany Medical College. He completed his internal medicine and endocrinology Fellowship at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, affiliated with Columbia University. He is in private practice at Central Park Endocrinology, PC. On the Pod, We Discuss: Why he was drawn to step up and use his privilege and position of authority as a white male doctor to speak out against diet culture and weight stigma and why his speciality as an endocrinologist uniquely positions him to fight these systems of oppression  His uniquely HAES-aligned household and his forthcoming wife’s book  Why counseling patients to lose weight isn’t useful on more than one front  How he sees weight stigma show up in the medical community and the harm he sees it causing his patients and those who reach out to him online How people can try to take care of themselves without dieting when they have certain health concerns How he tries to treat the whole person and not just the numbers  The number one commonly overlooked factor in lifestyle when it comes to our health  How some health challenges simply have components outside of a patient's control and why it’s challenging when the world tries to convince them otherwise What he sees as the ideal future for compassionate health care  And so much more Helpful Links: Connect with Dr. Gregory Dodell on Instagram @everything_endocrine Dr. Dodell's private practice, Central Park Endocrinology Alexis Conason, PsyD (his wife), @theantidietplan The Diet Free Revolution by Alexis Conason, PsyD Watch our free masterclass to learn 5 Simple Shifts to End Binge Eating  Join our private Facebook group Set up a free breakthrough session to chat with one of us Check out our personalized Intuitive Eating Coaching program

Today we discuss how to free yourself from the personal prisons that are disempowering you.   Freedom - we all want it, right? In fact, we live in a nation that prides itself on being free. But are you really free, or are you a prisoner of your own thoughts, fears, and doubts? The mind is either the cause of our bondage or the cause of our liberation. So, if you're thinking in ways that are disempowering to you, then you're actually releasing chemicals in your body that are supporting those thoughts time and time again. The good news is, you have control over your thoughts, and by acknowledging them you can learn to shift your focus and remove yourself from any kind of a prison that you’ve put yourself in. My first guest, Lee McCormick, has been a creative force in the Mental Health and Recovery scene for over 20 years. He joins me today to discuss taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts and why identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict in our lives. Lee also shares the distinct differences of living from a role-centered life versus a soul-centered life. My second guest, Geneen Roth, is the author of ten books, including the just-released This Messy Magnificent Life and New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God. She joins me today to discuss the relationship we have with ourselves and how we can disengage the voice of our inner critic that tends to hold us back from happiness and success.   We Discuss: Why many people live with a sense of false pride that keeps them stuck and full of regret in life How we can get ourselves out of the personal prisons we've subconsciously put ourselves in The impact that disempowering thoughts have on our lives and how we can shift them Why we search for our identity in labels and how they can change our perception of reality How identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict and suffering in our lives Taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts rather than allowing them to control us The major differences between living from a role-centered life as opposed to a soul-centered life   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

Today we’re talking about avoiding a nuclear crisis.   Though the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant in southern California was shut down in 2013, there are still major consequences that we could face because of the inefficient storage of nuclear waste. I'm joined today by two women whose expertise will not only enlighten, but hopefully spur us into taking the appropriate action to avoid a future nuclear crisis. Carrie Woodland, CEO of California Healthy Planet Solutions and founder of We The People San Diego, joins me today in an attempt to increase awareness of the San Onofre crisis and to explain why this is more than just a local issue - it's a global issue that affects everyone. Donna Gilmore, founder of San Onofre Safety, joins us to talk about the highly radioactive lethal nuclear waste being stored just north of Camp Pendleton in San Diego County. She shares how we can each take part in having basic storage requirements changed to eliminate the thin and inefficient canisters that are currently in use for the storage of this nuclear waste.   We Discuss: Why new years resolutions have built-in problems and are inefficient for real change How resetting and course correcting are positive ways to encourage better choices The very serious situation that exists at San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant in California Why this potential nuclear crisis is not just local to San Diego and is a global issue Why the waste storage canisters are not at a standard they should be to keep us safe How these canisters are vulnerable to short-term cracking and environmental exposure  What can be done to raise awareness and take action before a nuclear crisis occurs   For the full show notes visit: www.ChangeItUpRadio.com

Today we discuss the courage to connect with your higher self, increase consciousness, and expand inner wisdom.   In order for us to grow, we have to think outside of the box and take a step back from our small thinking. If you think about it, our “greatest” thinking has got us right where we are today, and it will keep us stuck unless we blow past our limitations. Part of this journey includes connecting with our higher self, which represents unlimited possibilities and helps us see reality clearly. So many of us are playing so small and really not mastering, or even attempting to master, the gifts that we’ve been given. We’re staying within our comfort zones. So much is out there for us, but we have to be able to open our minds and open our hearts if we want to change. Are you willing to change today? Are you willing to grow and take your life to a completely new level? My guest, Laurie Reyon Anderson, is an internationally known Animal Communicator and teacher. She joins me today to talk about a near-death experience that ultimately changed her life. Subsequent to the accident, Laurie has developed her gift, which allows her to speak to the animals and the Angels and translate their messages to humanity. She shares how this gift is able to help others grow and become the conscious creators of their own lives.   We Discuss: Why we must think outside the box and let go of our limiting beliefs to truly grow as a person Connecting with something greater than ourselves to really expand our consciousness Acknowledging our latent potentials and discovering the untapped parts of ourselves What it means to lead a life where we live and also create from our hearts Potential benefits from receiving Healing & Light Body Activations from whales and dolphins How it’s possible for us to connect with animals when we raise our vibrations Becoming the conscious creator of our lives rather than wandering around aimlessly How to tap into our consciousness and increase awareness of who we truly are   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

Today we discuss facing fears and embracing failure to create the life that you want.   Every wealthy entrepreneur that I’ve interviewed over the last 20 years has told me that to be successful you must fail, time and time again. They also made it a point to let me know that if you don’t make courage your partner, you’re probably not going to succeed. It’s not about being brave and taking uncalculated risks. Instead, it’s about being thoughtful, understanding, and taking risks that are well thought out and considered. So, why do so many successful people embrace failure? They do so because failure teaches us our greatest lessons in life. My guest, Steve Rodgers, is a business and lifestyle consultant, an international speaker, and a number one best-selling author. He joins us today to share powerful advice for moving past any challenges in life and business. Steve provides strategies for overcoming fears and obstacles that anyone can apply to ignite their growth and unlock their full potential.   We Discuss: Why having courage and embracing failure in life are the essential keys to success Acknowledging and self-reflecting on fears to overcome challenges and grow from them What to do if you’re in a place in life where things aren’t working or you feel disconnected How to find joy in the darkness, create a life of purpose, and unlock your full potential The “Lead to Gold” formula and focusing on the three P’s:  Productivity, Profits, & Purpose Materializing what you want by creating a plan, staying accountable, and course correcting   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

Today we’re talking about loving being the real, authentic, and unapologetic you!   Figuring out who we are and why we’re here is a full-time, whole life endeavor for most of us. You’d think it would be easy, right? We arrive happy, joyous, and free, but then too often our parents, teachers, religious leaders, friends, and other members of our family condition us into becoming something that we hardly recognize or even like anymore. All of these people have an impact on how you think and how you act out there in the world. So what’s happening here, and is there a way out? Is there a way to get back to how we were when we first arrived, before the rest of the world told us how to act and who to be? Davide Di Giorgio joins me today to talk about his new book, Being Unapologetic. He shares how we can all follow the breadcrumbs of the past to better know who we are and why we are here so that we can step into our own power and be our true, unapologetic selves. Dr. JJ Sawyer and Sandra Davis of People Smart World also join me to share their incredible technology that helps people understand who they really are, who others are, and how we can all function and communicate more effectively with all different types of people.   We Discuss: Why so many of us face an internal struggle with being our true selves What being unapologetic really means and how it helps us stand in our power Learning to love ourselves more by spotlighting and celebrating other people The “X-Factor” of great speakers and leaders and how it can be learned Why delivering a vision is even more important than delivering value Changing our environment and surroundings to adjust our perspective Understanding who we are and how to effectively communicate with others The power of being self-aware and becoming more aware of other people What DISC stands for and how it’s used to describe different personalities Using the DISC assessment to  discover what type of energy we put out in our lives Revealing personal characteristics – Are you an eagle, a parrot, a dove, or an owl?   For the full show notes visit: www.ChangeItUpRadio.com

Today I have Bob Babbitt on the show. Bob is USA Triathlon Hall of Fame and Ironman Hall of Fame Inductee and a guy who’s name is writ large across the Ironman story.

It's more a conversation about my experience of my first 100 mile run race through the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming. Today's podcast is a long one... but you know what, the race was kinda long.  As per usual, lots of lessons for all of us and I know how much it helps to go over and debrief a race. Because we can always find areas to improve upon. For me, this race was everything and more than I could have hoped for or imagined.  The day before the race, there was this shop (unfortunately closed) across from the Blacktooth brewery where race registration was and it had this sign - "Today is a good day for a good day" -  it made me smile and I woke up with that in my head on race morning. Positivity IS a performance enhancer :) Ok, Lets do this. Enjoy.
