Walking is great… but it is not building your glutes the way you think it is. Research shows brisk walking activates less than 32 percent of the glutes, and weak glutes are strongly linked to back pain, slower metabolism, and higher fall risk after 40. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the five science-backed glute exercises that actually turn your lower body back on and explains the subtle form tweaks that make all the difference. This is not about vanity. It is about metabolic health, structural strength, and protecting your body as you age. If you want stronger knees, a healthier back, and real lower-body strength after 45, this is where to start. Check out this video on YouTube

What happens after the baby arrives, and why has that conversation been missing for generations? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Aanchal Dasoar Arora, women's health innovator, pelvic floor physical therapist, and founder of Mendhai Health, shares how postpartum depression, pelvic floor dysfunction, and an identity crisis after motherhood led her to leave a high-level corporate healthcare career and build a digital maternal recovery platform born out of MIT. If you are a leader navigating identity shifts, a healthcare innovator, or a woman seeking support after pregnancy, this episode delivers both validation and visionary solutions. What You Will Learn: Why postpartum identity loss is more common than discussed and how it impacts leadership and relationships. How pelvic floor dysfunction and maternal recovery gaps affect long-term physical and mental health. The cultural and systemic barriers that prevent women from seeking therapy and recovery support. What inspired the creation of an all-digital maternal recovery platform born out of MIT. How technology can address clinician shortages and improve access to women's healthcare. What it takes to move from corporate healthcare leadership into entrepreneurship. Why hospital partnerships may be the fastest path to scaling maternal health innovation. How discipline and structure sustain founders through the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship. What it means to choose expansion over shrinking in motherhood and leadership.   FAQ: Why is postpartum recovery not discussed as openly as pregnancy? Cultural norms have historically centered pregnancy preparation while minimizing postpartum physical and emotional recovery, leaving many women unsupported after delivery.   How long are wait times for pelvic floor physical therapy in the United States? In many hospital systems, wait times can extend up to a year due to clinician shortages and limited access to specialized care.   How can digital health platforms improve maternal recovery outcomes? Digital platforms increase access, provide education across the entire maternal journey, extend clinician support, and reduce barriers related to geography, childcare, and scheduling.

Episode OverviewHave you ever trusted a referral or hired an “expert,” only to discover they lacked the competence to deliver real results? In this personal solo episode of the Give A Heck Podcast, I reveal the hard truth behind blind trust, guru culture, and the costly consequences of assuming expertise without verification.After losing tens of thousands of dollars and watching my business stall, I was forced to confront the reality of misplaced trust. Through artificial intelligence, faith, and personal accountability, I uncovered critical gaps and began rebuilding from a place of clarity and ownership.This episode is a wake‑up call for entrepreneurs, coaches, and professionals who want to protect their business, finances, and future from preventable mistakes.What You Will Learn• Why blind trust in referrals and consultants leads to financial loss• How confidence can disguise incompetence• The hidden dangers of guru culture and online programs• How AI exposed business gaps and revealed the truth• Why accountability is essential for rebuilding momentum• How to properly verify expertise before hiring anyone• The emotional, financial, and spiritual impact of misplaced trustHow Blind Trust Created Loss and StagnationTrust has always been a core value in my life and business. I believed referrals equaled credibility. That belief became one of the most expensive lessons of my career.Over six years, I hired referred “experts” who lacked the competence to deliver meaningful results. The outcome: financial loss, stalled growth, and emotional exhaustion. Trust without verification created vulnerability.The Referral Trap and Illusion of ExpertiseReferrals often feel like validation, but they're frequently based on assumptions—not proven results. Confidence, charisma, and reputation can mask a lack of real skill. Verification must replace blind trust.How the Pandemic Increased VulnerabilityDuring the pandemic, urgency and emotional stress replaced proper due diligence. Investments in consultants and marketing experts failed to deliver, costing tens of thousands and delaying progress. This became a turning point that forced a complete reevaluation.How AI Helped Reveal the TruthArtificial intelligence became a powerful tool for uncovering what had been overlooked. By analyzing my systems, digital presence, and strategy, AI exposed gaps no consultant had ever addressed. This clarity became the foundation for rebuilding with ownership and accountability.Personal Accountability and Reclaiming ControlI realized no one would ever care about my success more than I do. Rebuilding required taking full responsibility, verifying expertise, and trusting myself to make better decisions. This shift restored confidence and momentum.Faith, Integrity, and Spiritual AccountabilityFaith guides how I approach business and relationships. Integrity, responsibility, and alignment protect my future and ensure peace in my decisions.Guru Culture and False PromisesMany consultants and programs rely on emotional persuasion rather than sustainable results. Verification and due diligence are essential before trusting anyone with your money or business.Trust But VerifyTrust must be earned and validated. Modern tools—including AI—allow you to confirm expertise and protect your time, money, and future. Verification is no longer optional; it's a necessity.Connect with Dwight Heck

Trigger the We Pay: How a Sworn Proof of Loss Changes Everything https://www.publicadjusterbootcamp.com/   Recorded live at the SRC Summit, this conversation brings together Attorney Shaun Hodge and Public Insurance Adjusters Cal and Melanie Spoon for a blunt, practitioner level breakdown of what actually moves an insurance claim from "stuck" to "resolved." Their core message is simple: most delays, denials, and "frivolous" lawsuits trace back to one root problem, incomplete performance of the policy's Duties After a Loss. When the claim file is built correctly and the Sworn Proof of Loss (SPOL) is submitted as a true package, it triggers the carrier's obligations under the We Pay section, starts real statutory timelines, and forces a decision. From there, the path is clean: pay and close, or breach and face consequences. Expect practical guidance on documentation, process discipline, when to go legal, how to preserve leverage, and why so many professionals unknowingly give the carrier extra time, extra control, and extra "float." Speakers Shaun Hodge: Policyholder Attorney focused on insurance claim litigation and pre suit strategy. Cal Spoon: Public Insurance Adjuster and educator focused on building defensible claim files and contract compliance. Melanie Spoon: Public Insurance Adjuster and operator known for process, documentation standards, and clean file systems that hold up under scrutiny. What You Will Learn Why education is the real separator in claims handling, not influence, hype, or "industry talk." How the SPOL is the carrier's kryptonite because it triggers the first step toward the We Pay obligation. Why the "proof of loss" is not a single page, it is a complete package built from the Duties After a Loss. Why bad faith verdicts are rare, and how most cases never qualify because the policy conditions were not fully met. What the 60 day pre suit notice really does, and how it can become both a delay tool and a leverage point depending on file quality. How to treat the claim like a relay race, where PAs run their lap, then hand off cleanly to counsel at the right moment. Why documentation must be business record quality, not memory, not verbal, not "I remember he said." How supplements and amended SPOL submissions affect timelines, and what does and does not restart the clock. How DRP and managed repair programs should be evaluated against one standard: does it match the SPOL scope and restore pre loss condition. Why appraisal often becomes a "baseball bat" when the dispute is really scope or coverage, not price. The debate around PA fees, historical context, and why they argue it should be treated like other required experts. Key Topics Covered 1) Stop making the contract "gray" The speakers argue the policy is far less confusing than people assume, but it becomes gray when professionals do not follow the Duties After a Loss with precision. 2) The We Pay section is not a suggestion Until the insured's side fulfills the conditions, the carrier can treat payment like a "gimme." Once conditions are met, it becomes obligation. 3) SPOL as leverage, not paperwork They frame the SPOL as the trigger that changes the carrier's risk assessment, shifting you from "low threat" to "this file is dangerous." 4) Why attorneys end up doing adjusting work When a file reaches counsel without proper performance, the attorney spends the pre suit period doing the Duties After a Loss for the first time, which weakens bad faith potential and delays progress. 5) Documentation that survives depositions Contemporaneous field notes, follow up emails, consistent templates, and repeatable process create business records that are admissible and defensible. 6) Timing: do not hand off too early or too late They push a practical expectation that many residential claims should be positioned for resolution or litigation within roughly 60 to 90 days, depending on complexity. 7) Float, delays, and why time is money They explain how carriers benefit when claims linger, and why fast, compliant performance forces either closure or escalation. 8) Engineering reports, rebuttals, and control If a carrier produces a report, you rebut it with specificity and speed. If you do not call out the issues in writing, the carrier later argues they were never given the chance to correct it. 9) Complaints with teeth A complaint should be tied to a clear violation of statute or required timelines, supported by evidence, and copied appropriately including the insured. Memorable Lines and Ideas "You will never force the We Pay section until you perform the Duties After a Loss." "The proof of loss is a package." "Build every file like it's going to war, then hope for peace." "Do not make the attorney become an adjuster. Let the attorney do attorney things." Practical Takeaways You Can Apply Immediately Treat the SPOL as a complete package, not a summary sheet. Run a repeatable process on every claim, no shortcuts, no "this one is different." Memorialize key conversations in writing quickly. Non response often becomes meaningful. Rebut engineer opinions with policy grounded logic and factual corrections, not emotion. Hand off to counsel only when the file is ripe for litigation, not when it is messy. Keep the insured informed early so depositions do not produce surprise, shock, or confusion. Resources Mentioned The concept of insurance "float" often discussed by Warren Buffett. Policy language: Duties After a Loss and We Pay conditions. Industry discussion: managed repair and DRP style programs, appraisal strategy, and statutory timing rules. Disclaimer This episode is for education and discussion only. It is not legal advice. Laws and policy language vary by state and by carrier form. Consult qualified counsel for guidance on any specific claim.

Chalene Johnson breaks her usual rule of avoiding politics to talk about something far more disturbing. This episode digs into the newly released Epstein files, the outrage surrounding Dr. Peter Attia, and the uncomfortable question no one seems willing to answer. Why are some public figures facing real consequences while others remain completely untouched? This is not a partisan conversation. It is a deep dive into power, silence, and the accountability gap that continues to protect the most connected people in the world.

The new year doesn't arrive asking us to become more. It asks us to remember. Yet most people don't cross into a new year feeling whole, clear, or renewed. They arrive depleted, disconnected and running on a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. There's a global disconnection crisis that's rarely being talked about. That's why reconnecting with self is emerging as the most radical—and necessary—act of our time. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast we're discussing this plus answering some listener questions about the Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth Trail. February is also Black History Month, a very special celebration of Black History. Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book by Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth TrailHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha Blair What is the Global Disconnection Crisis?We live in an era of unprecedented access, convenience, and information—yet human beings are more dysregulated than ever before. Consider this:77% of people globally report chronic stress that directly impacts their physical health60–90% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditionsChronic loneliness increases mortality risk by 26%, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a dayFewer than 10% of people experience sustained nervous-system calm on a regular basis. This means that 90% of people are in a sustained state of nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the majority of humanity is living in fight-or-flight as a baseline state.When people say, “I feel disconnected from myself,” what they are really saying is:Reconnection is not indulgence. It is a biological repair.What You Will Learn Why the New Year Is the Most Fragile Time of AllThe first quarter of the New Year, from January to March, is often framed as a season of acceleration—goals, resolutions, productivity, but physiologically, the new year is one of the most vulnerable times for the human body:Cortisol levels spike after prolonged holiday stressBlood sugar instability increasesInflammation markers riseEmotional processing catches up after months of suppressionThis is why so many people feel unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally raw in the early months of the year.The body is not asking for more productivity hacks and optimization. It is asking for re-anchoring.What Reconnecting With Self Actually MeansReconnection is not a mindset shift. It is not a productivity hack. It is not another item on a wellness checklist. True reconnection restores three broken feedback loops:1. Body → BrainWhen the body feels safe, the mind regains clarity.2. Environment → Nervous SystemYour surroundings directly influence cortisol, inflammation, sleep, and gene expression.3. Time → IdentityWhen time slows, the self re-emerges.This is why people cannot think their way back to themselves.They need place, pace, and presence.Why Place Matters More Than We've Been ToldModern wellness focuses heavily on habits while ignoring something far more powerful: the environment.Where you are physically can change how your body functions.This insight is at the heart of the Holistic Wealth Retreat, located along the Holistic Wealth Trail—a first-of-its-kind ecosystem designed not as infrastructure for human repair.“My nervous system has not felt safe enough to come home.”

From outsourcing tech overwhelm to watching parents wrestle with apps and platforms that feel anything but intuitive, this discussion connects everyday frustration to deeper shifts around AI, social media, and trust. Chalene breaks down why long-form content feels calmer, why endless scrolling leaves the brain fried, and why younger generations are already pushing back by unplugging. It's not anti-technology or fear-driven, but it is a grounded reality check on why more innovation doesn't automatically equal more peace.

Instructions on how to do this are here.   Daniel Pink Bio: Daniel Pink is a bestselling author and business thinker renowned for his expertise in motivation, decision-making, and the future of work. With a background spanning law, politics, and speechwriting, including a tenure as Chief Speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore, Daniel has spent decades studying why people do what they do and how organizations can unlock human potential. His groundbreaking books, including 'Free Agent Nation', 'Drive', 'To Sell Is Human', and 'The Power of Regret', have shaped how millions approach work, leadership, and life decisions.     Quotes: "I'm not 100% against planning, but I think there's a danger in planning too much because life is so unpredictable, we don't know what the world is gonna be like in five years or ten years, and we don't know what we're gonna be like either. If you'd told me when I was in university that I'd be sitting in a garage by myself writing books, I would have said that doesn't sound that fun, but that's what I ended up doing, and it is fun." "I've always had a decent amount of confidence, but it's a strange kind of confidence. I don't look around and say I'm so much better than all these people, nor do I say these people are all better than me. I look around and think, okay, these people are good, and I can hold my own with them. Working in politics taught me that when you walk through the Senate or House office buildings and see the people making policy for America, you realize I kinda belong here. "There wasn't any epiphany; I simply looked around and saw other people doing what I was doing, and nobody was talking about it. There were businesses popping up to serve these people, and new forms of engagement emerging. It's really a case of just looking around and being curious, extrapolating from your own experience because most people are like most people." "Don't take a fully remote job straight out of university, I don't think that's a good idea. Look for a place that gives you autonomy, maybe four days in the office and one day on your own, because proximity to people who can guide your career enhances mastery. We're moving to a world that's permanently hybrid, but the word 'hybrid' itself is becoming less relevant; it's just called work now."   Episode Resources: Daniel Pink on LinkedIn Daniel Pink Website  Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

What if the "perfect life" is actually the most convincing hiding place for emptiness? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Sylvia Resnick, a fulfillment and purpose coach for high-achieving women. Sylvia shares how a lifelong ache for connection shaped her drive to achieve. The conversation also goes deeper into the tension between honoring cultural traditions and evolving practices that harm women, including the urgent reality of female genital mutilation and how Sylvia's organization, Empower Her, is working from within community partnership to create change through education, support, and empowerment.   What You Will Learn: Why "looking successful" can coexist with feeling emotionally empty. How early experiences of not feeling seen can quietly shape adult identity, ambition, and relationship patterns. The hidden motivation behind perfectionism: trying to earn love, belonging, and "enoughness." Why external achievements don't automatically create self-worth. How a single experience of deep community can interrupt lifelong loneliness and recalibrate what matters. What true connection can feel like in the body. How indigenous culture can offer profound healing while still containing traditions that require conscious evolution. A grounded explanation of FGM in the Maasai context, including the rite-of-passage framing and the high human cost.

We are living through a Joy Crisis. Leaders, physicians, high achievers, and everyday humans are waking up successful on paper, yet spiritually, emotionally, and energetically empty. In this episode, Dr. V sits down with executive coach Dianna Moore to uncover why joy has quietly faded from modern life and how to bring it back with intention. Dianna spent 25 years in aerospace, moved into executive leadership, later became COO of a venture-backed startup, and now coaches high-stakes leaders in medicine, technology, and cybersecurity. Her journey did not begin with joy. It began with survival. At 18, she was a young mother in college with a baby on her hip. Achievement became her fuel. Later, she realized achievement and joy were not the same thing. This conversation blends science, wisdom, personal experience, and real leadership insight. It offers a grounded path to reclaiming joy in a world that rewards burnout.   What We Cover: What Joy Really Is - Not happiness, not distraction, not numbing. Joy is a deeper internal state tied to meaning, purpose, nervous system balance, and long-term health. The Joy Deficit in Modern Leadership - Medical leaders, cybersecurity executives, and corporate teams often operate in chronic stress without emotional recovery. Joy has disappeared from everyday language and the results show up in burnout, isolation, and strained relationships. Success Versus Joy - Dianna explains how achievement became her identity. Promotions and accomplishments created momentum, yet not fulfillment. Joy had to be cultivated separately. What Joy Looks Like Somatically - Dr. V breaks down how joy affects inflammation, hormones, mitochondrial function, and healing potential. This is where mindset, biology, and longevity truly connect. Simple Practices to Rebuild Joy - Helping others, movement, strength training, reconnecting with your childhood imagination, and returning to purpose. These accessible practices help you reignite joy even in difficult seasons. The Top Joy Killer: Comparison - One of Dianna's most powerful insights at 25:04. Comparison drains energy, confidence, and presence. It is one of the fastest ways to shut down joy.   What You Will Learn Why joy is a performance strategy and not a luxury How to identify signs of a hidden joy deficit Ways high performers accidentally numb instead of nourish How to tell the difference between comfort, happiness, and true joy Why meaningful relationships matter more than professional success Daily practices that create noticeable joy in under five minutes How reconnecting with your childhood self restores creativity and vitality   About Dianna Moore Executive Coach and Founder of Moore Joy Group specializing in leaders in medicine, cybersecurity, technology, and the C-suite moorejoygroup.com   Connect with Dr. V Learn the Thrive State Method at kienvuu.com Follow @doctorvmd on all platforms Get the number one bestselling book Thrive State at thrivestatebook.com Download your free Longevity Starter Kit at thrivestatestarter.com

Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking. It's part personal update, part pop culture analysis, and 100% unfiltered Chalene.

In this episode, Joe revisits an old article he wrote six years ago about Apple's Think Different campaign and discovers a deeper lesson hidden inside it. This is not a story about marketing, or even about Apple. It is a story about belief, service, and the system every creator needs to survive long enough to succeed. Joe shares how belief powered Apple's turnaround in 1997 and how the same kind of belief shows up in the creators and entrepreneurs who persist through uncertainty. But he also explains why belief, on its own, can drift into ego and self-focus if it is not directed toward helping someone else. Through personal stories from Junta42, Content Marketing Institute, the Tilt, and the early launch of Content Entrepreneur Expo, Joe walks through the moments when his belief wavered and the exact thing that brought it back: returning his attention to the people he was trying to help. This episode introduces a simple but powerful system. Belief is the engine. Service is the direction. Creators who believe they can help someone else always find their footing again. They always know what to do next. And in an age when AI can manufacture almost anything, this combination of belief and service becomes the one advantage that cannot be automated. What You Will Learn: Why belief matters more than talent Why belief alone is not enough How Apple changed direction through purpose and conviction How Joe rebuilt belief during difficult seasons The simple system that can guide creators through any uncertainty Why focusing on the person you serve is the ultimate reset Mentioned in This Episode: Apple's Think Different campaign Eddie Murphy documentary Junta42 Content Marketing Institute The Tilt newsletter Content Entrepreneur Expo If you want more insights every Friday morning, subscribe to Joe Pulizzi's Tilt newsletter at https://www.thetilt.com/.

At 50, I thought my body was broken. I knew everything about nutrition, but nothing was working anymore. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Heather Awad, MD, a family doctor and certified coach, helps professional women in perimenopause and menopause lose weight without counting or deprivation. Learn why kindness precedes confidence, how insulin resistance shifts at midlife, and why moving from grazing to real meals restores energy, focus, and leadership clarity.  Professional photos can be retaken. But kindness and confidence can start today.   What You Will Learn: Why eating less and moving more, does absolutely nothing during perimenopause, revealing that something fundamentally different is happening in the body. The moment at age 50 of wondering if the body was broken and questioning how someone with extensive nutrition knowledge could be failing at weight management. How combining an understanding of the biology and nutrition of menopause with coaching to address emotional eating made weight loss simple and sustainable. Why many professional women including those in corporate leadership hold themselves back from seeking promotions or starting businesses because they feel their body isn't under control. The critical distinction that mindset work and being kind to yourself is a completely separate track from getting your body under control or losing weight. How kindness to yourself is the precursor to confidence, and that being kind doesn't cost anything except intention and time unpacking the parts of yourself that don't want to be kind. The fundamental difference between the weight loss world that asks us to work hard, measure, and count calories, versus nutrition that can be simple and nourishing without ever going hungry or counting anything. How our culture has normalized overeating to the point where having a stomach ache after meals seems normal. Why this meal-based eating pattern helps with the natural bump in insulin resistance that comes at menopause. The biological reality that when estrogen drops during menopause, it affects the entire body including digestive hormones. Why insulin resistance means the body suddenly needs much more insulin just to process the same food. Why grazing becomes the default feeding pattern during intense parenting years. Why nourishing your body becomes increasingly important at midlife.   Connect with Heather Awad, MD Website   Connect with Anjel B.
