Key Takeaways:90 days is long enough to get something done, but short enough that there's some urgency to it. The 90-day MOST stands for Mission, Objective, Strategy, and Tactics. It accounts for having an overall vision and creating simple strategies to implement each quarter. We need to have a clear vision so that we know what we're looking for. Before creating a plan, take time to create a vision board. Visualize what you want to create in your life and depict it in your vision board. Once you have a vision, determine an objective. Then, create three strategies that will serve to achieve that objective. Under each strategy, create three simple tactics. Keep it simple.  “90 days has been studied to be very effective. It's long enough to get something done. But it's short enough that you there's some urgency to it.” “We create the vision. And then from that vision, we create the plan. But we don't want to plan while creating the vision, because we wind up talking ourselves out of doing some bold things.” “We're keeping it very, very simple. The more complicated you make this, the less likely it's going to work for you. So you pick what would make this quarter be the win for you.” - Maryanne Dersch  Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Reframe goals as guides, not judgments. Traditional output-focused goals can create pressure and burnout; goals should inform your direction, not define your worth or success.Wrap up the year holistically. Reflect on wins, surprises, and growth beyond numeric targets, release what no longer serves you, and recognize internal and relational progress as real achievements.Make goals human-centered, not just metric-centered. Reframing SMART goals to be Supportive, Meaningful, Aligned, Relational, and Tension-free ensures they strengthen trust, connection, and values alongside traditional metrics.Measure relationships, not just money. Track trust, reciprocity, affinity, consistency, and advocacy to prioritize connection and mission impact, understanding that financial outcomes naturally follow strong relational foundations. “Goals aren't good or bad. They are just what they are. They are information.” “If we're only measuring our worth by input and output, we're really missing a lot on what we're doing and the progress that we're making.” "Work can be joyful. Grace, ease, joy is sustainable. Hustle and grind is not.”- Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

My intention inside this episode is to honor all the work you've done this year by offering a Winter Solstice spell, inviting you to get curious about the somatic architecture you're dreaming from inside your next season. But above all, in this episode I want to celebrate you. Over the past 5 years you have held the overlapping grief of witnessing public lynchings by the hands of the police, a global pandemic we're still inside of, wildfires and other continuous climate crises and witnessing genocide and humanitarian crises from Palestine to Sudan — not to name the domestic and relational ruptures you've tended to on more intimate scales, the new cities moved to, the new homes and communities you've had to build. And look at you, still choosing vulnerability, still choosing relation, still choosing love, still choosing to believe in yourself and your values and by extension — still choosing to believe in us. For that I am recording this episode to say thank you. This is my offering of gratitude.ResourcesLearn More and Apply The Powerhouse Portal to Work Together 1:1: https://www.seedaschool.com/phEnroll Into The Laboratory of Erotic Engineering Membership: https://www.seedaschool.com/labSubscribe to the Seeda School Substack: ⁠https://seedaschool.substack.com/⁠Follow Ayana on Instagram: ⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠Follow Ayana on Threads: ⁠⁠@ayzaco⁠⁠Follow Seeda School on Instagram: ⁠⁠@seedaschool⁠Follow Seeda School on TikTok: @seedaschoolCitations“Switching Houses From Scared Child House To Erotic Power House: How Corporal Punishment in Childhood Impacts Desire” by Ayana Zaire CottonSeed A World Retreat Alumni nènè myriam konaté invited us to imagine our existence as the offer in one of Seeda School's Open Studio sessions and that has been our grounding north star ever since.

Send us a textWhat if your partnership model unintentionally silences the very people it's meant to elevate? We sit down with Asia Blackwell, executive director of Maya Midwifery, to unpack how a well-intended collaboration in Guatemala drifted toward hierarchy by over-rewarding a few “standout” leaders while leaving many midwives underpowered. Asia lays out how they rebuilt trust with transparent systems, written agreements, and equitable pathways that spread training, decision-making, and visibility across the full team.Together, we reframe accountability as shared responsibility rather than control. Asia explains the pivot from informal, relationship-only trust to clear MOUs, role boundaries, and simple verification tools that protect everyone—midwives, boards, and donors. We challenge Western assumptions about leadership and administration, recognizing that Indigenous midwives already lead in their communities without needing titles to validate influence. When governance confuses literacy with legitimacy or paperwork with power, it narrows who gets heard and who gets help.Asia shares a vivid, Maya-inspired governance model built around the Ceiba, the sacred tree: midwives as the canopy, local admin as branches, the Guatemalan board as trunk, and US teams as roots. Donors become sun and water—vital, nourishing, and appropriately at a distance from day-to-day decisions. This design makes equity operational with feedback loops, shared metrics, and practical safeguards that honor local autonomy. The impact is palpable: midwives now present their own data, speak confidently in meetings, and describe renewed pride and energy at the birth center.If you're working in global health, philanthropy, or any cross-border partnership, you'll find practical guidance here: listen widely, rotate opportunity, document commitments, and let culturally grounded structures lead.

According to the Government of Canada In Ontario, teens(youth 13-24) make up a significant portion of the homeless population (around12-20%), often experiencing hidden homelessness or using transitional housingmore than shelters, with reasons primarily stemming from family conflict, trauma,and mental health issues, leading to high rates of first-time homelessnessbefore age 16 and overrepresentation of Indigenous and 2SLGBTQI+ youth.Statistics show youth homelessness is undercounted but deeply impactful, withmany facing significant barriers and adverse experiences.  The Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) supportsyouth ages 16-24 as they leave homelessness behind to build new lives.  WRYM provides a supportive, functional family atmosphere, delivers individualcounselling, and teaches basic life skills.  WRYM helps youth experiencinghomelessness integrate into the community and reconnect with extended family orindependent living, as well as education and employment.  We supportactive citizenship, not dependence, and we follow up with our residents as theybecome active citizens.  We work together to end homelessness.Selena Cosme is an aftercare and outreach worker for the organization, and shejoined me this week to tell me more about how this vitally importantorganization is working to end homelessness across Windsor-Essex and provideyoung men in our local community with a brighter future.

Key Takeaways:Sustainable change begins by raising standards, not just managing expectations. Standards define the floor you will no longer fall below, while expectations shape the ceiling you desire. Boundaries and agreements act as the walls that uphold both.Boundaries focus on what you no longer want to tolerate or experience. Agreements clarify what you do want and how it will work in practice. They turn avoidance into intention and make expectations visible to others.Agreements reduce resentment by replacing unspoken rules with shared understanding. They teach others how to relate to you personally, professionally, and in leadership spaces. Strong agreements create safety, predictability, and mutual respect.Raising standards often invites testing, especially in the early stages. Holding the agreement while releasing the outcome allows relationships to adjust naturally. Over time, people either rise to meet the standard or drift away. “We can't change behavior unless we change the boundaries and agreements that uphold and support that behavior.” “We teach people how to treat us.” “Your internal agreements will determine your external results.” - Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Many nonprofit leaders enter the new year already depleted from the holiday rush. Emotional residue from 2025 lingers in the body and shapes early decisions. A reset begins by acknowledging how much energy was carried forward unnoticed.Leaders often bring guilt, unfinished conversations, and unresolved pressure into 2026. Closing loops matters more than fixing everything that happened. Release becomes the doorway to entering the new year with clarity and choice.Leadership begins with knowing your actual energetic capacity, not the idealized version. From that honesty, you choose what stays, what shifts, and what boundaries support you. Agreements rooted in calm reshape how you lead and how you protect your energy.Reclaiming means deciding who you are becoming and leading from that center. Leaders choose identities like calmer, clearer, or more sovereign and act from that energy. This practice restores agency and ensures no circumstance dictates your value. “If you don't pause or reset, you're going to step into the new year carrying the energy of the old one.” “Every boundary, every decision, every conversation, every interaction is going to come from that survival mode place - that's the lens through which you're going to view the world.” “Reclaiming your energy means consciously choosing the leadership identity you want to embody this year.” - Maryanne Dersch    Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode, I chat with Suzy Evans and Dr. Shane Saeed about how learner agency, metacognition, and assessment can work together rather than be siloed or disconnected. We explored what the science of learning tells us about helping students take more ownership of their thinking and how teachers can design routines that make assessment something they do with students, not to them. Shane and Susie shared concrete strategies they use in classrooms across their district, along with insights from hosting their popular podcast, Vrainwaves. They also talked about what it looks like to seek balance while juggling so many roles in education.

Most people think anxious attachment means someone "loves harder," cares more, or is just afraid of losing you… but the truth is deeper and far more complicated. In this episode, we break down the psychology and neuroscience behind anxious attachment and why it can turn relationships into emotional pressure rather than connection. If you've ever felt smothered by someone's "love," guilty for needing space, or responsible for someone else's emotional stability, this episode will give you clarity and tools to break the cycle. We'll explore: ◼ why anxious attachment turns affection into urgency ◼ how fear becomes disguised as love ◼ the brain chemicals responsible for panic-bonding ◼ why they want YOU to regulate their emotions ◼ how guilt is used (consciously or unconsciously) to keep you close ◼ why you get trapped in rescuing ◼ how your nervous system gets hooked by their panic ◼ what to STOP doing immediately ◼ how to step out of caretaker mode without abandoning yourself ◼ how to set boundaries without becoming the villain You'll learn how to recognize the difference between real intimacy and emotional dependency, how to protect your peace, and how to stop being someone's emotional stabilizer. This episode will give you clarity, language, tools, and permission. Especially if you're tired of feeling responsible for other people's emotional worlds.

At first, he was open to communicating about their needs. He seemed keen on trying to be better. They were great together - both feeling safe to be vulnerable for the first time, then something changed.  He started to feel pressured and needed space. She gave him that space only to have a conversation later that confused her. Join me as I discussed with Sarah what are some of the red flags she might be missing right now and how she can navigate working with someone she is no longer in a relationship with but also hopes to get back together with...someday. What does she need to do differently should they get back together. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Key Takeaways:Influence is the art of getting people you have no authority over to do what you want them to do, not just because they have to do it, but because they choose to. Your ability to influence others is critical to your success. The first step in mastering the art of influence and showing up as an influential leader is knowing yourself. It's not about anybody else. Train yourself first before anybody else in the organization, because you are the trailblazer who sets the limit for others. If you raise your game, they will rise with you. Discover and honor the things that make each person in your team unique. Acknowledge those things so that they will light up and they will join you in your vision. Look within yourself for credibility rather than relying on others to recognize your worth. This is the key to becoming a sovereign, influential leader. If you want them to recognize something in you, you have to recognize it in yourself first.  “An influential leader shifts that narrative from going to somebody who needs other people to feel good. Instead, we know ourselves, and we cultivate our own energy ourselves so that we stay sovereign.” “If you can feel anything, you can do anything, and influential leaders understand how their thoughts and feelings play into their everyday decision-making, and they know how to navigate in a way that feels really good, really easy, and really aligned. ” “Showing up as an influential leader means having deep trust in yourself and others, that everything is working out as it should, that there is nothing to fear. ” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Understanding how thoughts and feelings contribute to decision-making is key to influential leadership. Influential leadership creates sustainable workforces with less turnover and more productivity.The first step towards becoming an influential leader is to go inward. Be willing to understand how the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that you had when you were young impact the decisions that you make today.Guilt is when we feel bad for what we do, and shame is when we feel bad about who we are. Most things that upset us originate from deeply rooted feelings of guilt and shame. When navigating conflicts of others or your own, pay attention to what's making you and others feel uncomfortable.An influential leader's job is to create more good leaders. When you practice influential leadership, not only are you creating a more influential and conscious leadership for yourself, but you're also teaching others how their thoughts and feelings contribute to their everyday decision-making, which helps them resolve things internally. “Every minute we spend in clean-up conversations that could have been avoided with better communication and leadership - we're moving away from the work we were called to do.” “You have to be willing to go inside, and understand what thoughts and beliefs were implanted in you when you were young, and how those can be affecting the decision-making that you make today.” “When you find yourself in a conflict or navigating somebody else's conflict, first you have to pay attention to what's happening in your body, what am I feeling? And then seeing other people - there's something inside of them that's uncomfortable with this, what can we do?”  “Good leaders create more good leaders and influential leaders; their job is to create more good leaders.”- Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Most people would probably be surprised to know how seller financing in 1031 exchanges can work. A seller wants to do a 1031 exchange, but they end up with a buyer asking for owner financing. Do they have to reject the offer? Not necessarily. If structured properly, a note can be created (giving the buyer what they need) and then sold, giving the seller the cash they need for their upleg. In this month's Property & Paper Live, I break down exactly how seller financing in 1031 exchanges works in the real world — plus the pitfalls, timeline traps, and creative strategies that experienced investors use to pull these deals together smoothly.

Key Takeaways:Supporters engage for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, each bringing unique value. Instead of expecting long-term loyalty from everyone, recognize the natural ebb and flow. Gratitude for every contribution keeps the relationship healthy and grounded.Tourists, seasonal residents, and townies each play a meaningful role in the ecosystem. One-time donors bring energy, visibility, and new connections when they matter most. Long-term supporters reveal themselves through aligned values and deeper engagement.Lasting relationships grow through purpose, connection, and involvement beyond giving. Inviting donors into stories, conversations, or behind-the-scenes roles builds ownership. When people feel seen and included, loyalty naturally strengthens and expands.Not every donor will stay forever, and that is part of a healthy pipeline. Letting go with appreciation frees energy to invest in aligned relationships. Focusing on shared values ensures every interaction remains meaningful and mutual. “Our job is to give them meaningful experience while they're with us and release them with gratitude when they're ready to go.” “Every donor plays a role in your ecosystem. You know, tourists bring energy and visibility, townies bring depth and sustainability, and there's space in between them, where just the relationships involved.” “Relationship first, money will follow that. Build belonging, not just giving.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Goals are meant to guide, not judge. When they serve as a compass instead of a scorecard, they inspire growth and unity instead of strain or shame. Progress becomes something to celebrate, not a verdict on worth.Nonprofit leaders often walk the line between big dreams and achievable results. Rigid focus on financial targets can create tension and burnout, but realistic goals rooted in purpose help teams stay motivated and grounded.True success goes beyond numbers. Relationships, learning, and consistent effort shape sustainable impact. By valuing process over perfection, organizations can find meaning in every outcome—good or bad.Lasting results come from people, not pressure. Relationship-building should be prioritized over transactions, with gratitude and reflection fueling resilience, renewal, and authentic growth for the long run. “Rejection isn't the opposite of success. It is part of success.” “Goals should stretch us, not strain us. They should unite, connect us, not divide us, and they should inspire us to grow, not shame us for being human.” “Remember: every ‘no' refines your ‘yes'. You're not rejected, you're redirected.

The New York Times has become the rare publisher proving that subscriptions and advertising can strengthen each other. Chief Advertising Officer Joy Robins explains how a subscriber-first model creates the engagement, trust, and data that fuel a thriving ad business. She also discusses how the Times' bundle — from Games to The Athletic to Cooking — opened new surface areas for news-averse marketers, and why video is the big test for the NYT as it strives to become the Netflix of news.

Key Takeaways:Goals are meant to guide, not judge. When they serve as a compass instead of a scorecard, they inspire growth and unity instead of strain or shame. Progress becomes something to celebrate, not a verdict on worth.Nonprofit leaders often walk the line between big dreams and achievable results. Rigid focus on financial targets can create tension and burnout, but realistic goals rooted in purpose help teams stay motivated and grounded.True success goes beyond numbers. Relationships, learning, and consistent effort shape sustainable impact. By valuing process over perfection, organizations can find meaning in every outcome—good or bad.Lasting results come from people, not pressure. Relationship-building should be prioritized over transactions, with gratitude and reflection fueling resilience, renewal, and authentic growth for the long run. “Goals should stretch us, not strain us. They should unite, connect us, not divide us, and they should inspire us to grow, not shame us for being human.” “What if we saw goals as a compass instead of a scorecard? It gives us direction, but it doesn't judge us.” “The growth comes from the receptivity of all of it: what worked and what didn't, because everything was progress, everything was a lesson, everything was information.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode, Host Julie Rose talks with Sam Daley-Harris, founder of RESULTS and Civic Courage, and Jay Butera, the citizen advocate who helped create the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in Congress. Jay shares how he spent three years hearing “no” before finally convincing one Republican member of Congress to say “yes” to working across the aisle on climate change.

I have some updates to share on a personal AND business note...including how (and why) my business ran without me for over a month.Enjoy!Let's Work Together in TPN:

Send us a textThis week on Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols sits down with fertility naturopath and nutritionist Tasha Jennings to explore how natural and medical approaches to fertility can work hand in hand.Together, they break down the science behind how nutrition, lifestyle, and epigenetics can influence egg and sperm quality — and how collaboration between naturopaths and fertility specialists can lead to healthier pregnancies and better IVF outcomes.From real patient stories to myth-busting the “magic of IVF,” this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take control of their fertility journey — naturally and scientifically.

In this episode, Lori breaks down what it really means to rehabilitate your ego—not destroy it. Most people live entirely from their Id, the impulsive part of the mind that seeks comfort, validation, and control at any cost. But when you learn to balance the Id, Ego, and Superego, you stop reacting from fear and start responding from awareness. You'll discover: *The difference between a healthy ego and an inflated one. *How the Id drives impulsive behavior, emotional reactivity, and control issues.  *Why “ego death” isn't the goal—ego integration is. *How to retrain the ego to support your higher self instead of sabotaging it. *Real practices from ACT Therapy and cognitive defusion to detach from ego-driven stories. *How to recognize when your Id is running your relationships, habits, and inner dialogue. If you've ever felt stuck between wanting peace and needing control, this episode will help you step into clarity and rebuild a healthy inner authority. Your ego isn't the enemy—it's your untrained protector. Teach it peace, not power. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com  

We've all been there—waiting for that apology, explanation, or “one last talk” that never really brings peace. In this episode, Lori dismantles the myth of closure and explains why the human mind—and especially the ego—becomes obsessed with resolution after loss, betrayal, or abandonment. Using psychology, neuroscience, and raw honesty, she breaks down: *Why your brain loops unfinished stories (Zeigarnik effect) and how to close them internally. *How your ego uses the need for closure to avoid vulnerability and surrender. *The link between attachment styles and craving closure. *The neuroscience of rejection and why emotional pain registers as physical pain. *How to stop negotiating with reality when you don't get answers, justice, or validation.  *Powerful techniques to self-close: somatic rituals, reality acceptance, and reframing. If you've ever said “I just need closure,” this episode will change the way you think about healing forever. You'll walk away with a new understanding of how to free yourself from emotional loops, rebuild safety inside your body, and let go—without permission. Closure isn't a conversation. It's the moment you stop negotiating with reality. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience.com Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com
