What if some of the struggles spiritual entrepreneurs experience with money are not simply about discipline, willpower, or mindset but are also connected to the brain and nervous system? In this thoughtful and compassionate episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel explores the fascinating connection between dopamine and money — and how understanding the brain's reward system can help create a healthier, calmer, and more supportive relationship with finances.In this episode, listeners will learn a simple explanation of dopamine and how it influences motivation, anticipation, avoidance, emotional spending, entrepreneurship, and even the way many people react to checking bank accounts or managing financial tasks.

From celebrating tiny money wins and creating calming money rituals to reducing shame around avoidance and building sustainable financial habits, this conversation is both grounding and deeply encouraging for anyone who desires a more peaceful and empowered relationship with abundance.Topics CoveredWhat dopamine is and how it worksThe connection between dopamine and moneyWhy entrepreneurship can feel emotionally intenseDopamine, anticipation, and reward cyclesEmotional spending and money avoidanceThe nervous system's role in financial behaviorsWhy checking money can feel stressfulHealthy dopamine and gentle motivationCreating safer and calmer money habitsSmall financial wins and positive reinforcementSocial media, online business, and dopamine chasingBuilding a healthier relationship with money through awareness and compassionIf you've ever felt overwhelmed, emotional, avoidant, reactive, or anxious around money, this episode is a gentle reminder that you are not broken — and that understanding your brain and nervous system can become a beautiful part of your money healing journey.

Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.In this episode, we get into:Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in anotherThe single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to breakThe Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear themThe viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually worksThe three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose itThe case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevatingThe crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for youHow to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them backWhether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying forThe best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runwayPlus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girlConnect with Lindsey Davidson Paley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withlovelenny/Let's Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I break down one of the newest and most talked-about financial policies introduced in 2025: Trump Accounts. Created as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” these tax-advantaged investment accounts are designed to give American children a financial head start from birth.I cover how these accounts work, who qualifies, the role of government and private funding, and whether they make sense for your family. We also compare Trump Accounts to other popular savings vehicles like 529 plans and custodial accounts (UTMA/UGMA), so you can make an informed decision.If you're a parent—or planning to be—this is an important conversation about building generational wealth and setting your kids up for long-term financial success.What You'll LearnWhat Trump Accounts are and how they workWho qualifies for the $1,000 government seed contributionHow the $5,000 annual contribution limit worksThe role of private philanthropy (including the $250 bonus opportunities)Key benefits and drawbacks of these accountsHow Trump Accounts compare to 529 plans and custodial accountsWhen these accounts make sense—and when they don'tWhy starting early matters more than the account typePros of Trump Accounts$1,000 federal seed contribution (for eligible birth years)Additional $250 potential philanthropic contributionsTax-deferred growthFlexible use of funds at age 18Employer contribution opportunitiesSimple, index-based investment approachCons of Trump AccountsNo tax deduction on contributionsWithdrawals taxed as ordinary incomeLimited investment optionsالطفل gains full control at age 18Lower flexibility compared to some alternativesNew program with evolving rules and uncertaintiesTrump Accounts vs. Other Options529 PlansBest for education-specific savingsTax-free growth and withdrawals (if used for qualified expenses)Less flexibility for non-education useCustodial Accounts (UTMA/UGMA)Greater flexibility in how funds are usedPotential tax advantages through capital gains treatmentNo contribution limitsAssets count toward financial aid calculationsWhen Trump Accounts Make SenseYou have a child born between 2025–2028 (to capture the $1,000 seed money)Your child qualifies for additional philanthropic contributionsYour employer offers contributions to the accountWhen to Consider AlternativesYou're primarily saving for education (consider a 529 plan)You want more tax-efficient withdrawalsYou prefer greater flexibility and control over investmentsImportant Dates & TimelineAccount activation begins: Before July 4, 2026Initial $1,000 deposit: No earlier than July 4, 2026Contributions allowed starting: July 4, 2026Final TakeawayTrump Accounts are an interesting new tool designed to jumpstart investing from birth—but they're not a one-size-fits-all solution. The most important factor isn't the account type—it's getting started early, staying consistent, and having a plan.SubscribeIf you found this episode helpful, be sure to subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

What does it really mean to lead at the highest level in the automotive industry today?In this episode, Jan Griffiths sits down with Phil Biggs, the man quietly trusted by more than 100 CEOs across automotive and beyond. Known as the “CEO whisperer,” Phil has spent nearly a decade creating a confidential space where leaders can speak openly about the pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility that comes with the top job.And one thing is clear: leadership has changed.The old command-and-control model is breaking under the weight of constant disruption. Tariffs. Supply chain shocks. AI. Workforce shifts. EV uncertainty. The pressure never stops.

In The Aetherius Society we do not believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God. We believe he is a highly evolved being from the planet Venus. Not Venus as we know it – but a higher material plane of Venus which exists at a different frequency of vibration. But that is not the only secret about this great being of light… Master of Yoga Dr. George King also revealed that the Master Jesus remained on Earth – for 700 years – after his Ascension. Tune in to discover:The fascinating connection between extraterrestrials and Ascension throughout the ages – as recorded in the Bible, the Vedas and other holy worksThe unfinished aspects of Jesus's mission to EarthHow Jesus went about dealing with the “negative” repercussions of his strategy for saving humanity from catastropheInsights into the story of King Arthur and the Holy GrailThe role that Jesus played in the early growth of the Christian religion before leaving the planetDr. King's own meeting with Jesus on Holdstone Down in 1958 Don't miss it!
There are a handful of patterns I see over and over again when organizations get stuck around $300K in individual giving.Not because they don't care. Not because their mission isn't strong. But because of how they're operating day to day.In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest mistakes that quietly cap your growth. The ones that feel normal. Even smart. But are actually keeping you from getting to $1M in major gifts.From overthinking and waiting for the perfect moment, to chasing random strategies and writing emails no one responds to. And then the deeper shift. Learning how to lead with clarity, make decisions on purpose, and have conversations that actually unlock bigger gifts.This is less about doing more. And more about tightening how you think, how you communicate, and how you show up.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy overthinking is keeping you stuck and why action is the only way to get real data on what worksThe hidden danger of relying on surprise big gifts and why it's not a strategyHow “good times” can actually slow your growth if you stop investing in fundraisingWhy making up your strategy as you go leads to mediocre results even if you're good with peopleHow to choose a clear growth strategy and stick to it instead of chasing every ideaThe real reason your emails are getting ignored and how to fix it fastWhat donors actually need to give. Trust, credibility, and a clear visionWhy hiring people who have never raised money is costing you growthHow every fundraiser hits a ceiling and why you need expert support to break through itThe biggest missed opportunity. Asking only for cash when 90% of wealth is elsewhereHow shifting to conversations about donor wealth can 4x or 10x your results with the same donorsIf you want different results, you have to stop playing small with your strategy and your thinking. Growth doesn't come from doing more random tactics. It comes from being intentional, building real skills, and asking at the level your donors actually operate.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Last week we talked about protecting your revenue when summer hits. This week, we're going deeper — into the part nobody talks about. The guilt.You've got the clinical skills, the passion, and a vision for an online wellness business that won't leave you alone. But the moment summer arrives — kids home, schedules unraveling, your calendar in chaos — the guilt shows up louder than ever. Loud enough to make you wonder if wanting more makes you a bad mom, a bad partner, a bad person for even thinking about building something for yourself.If you're a physical therapist, yoga teacher, massage therapist, acupuncturist, or licensed wellness practitioner trying to build an online program while raising a family, this episode is the permission slip and the strategy you've been waiting for.In this deeply personal follow-up, I share the story of my late brother and why building a sustainable, freedom-based wellness business isn't selfish — it's the most important decision you can make for the people you love. We're flipping the guilt narrative on its head and giving you a real plan to stop waiting for "the right time" and start building the online program that finally gives you your time back — for good.What you'll learn in this episode:Why summer guilt is actually a sign you're on the right path (not the wrong one)The mindset shift that turns "building my business" into the most loving family decision you can makeHow to start imperfectly: the one-cohort, one-workshop, three-module model that actually worksThe freedom-first design framework: build the life first, then build the offer that funds itWhy the work you do now means dramatically less working laterThe personal story behind why I refuse to wait — and why you can't afford to eitherThis episode is for you if:You listened to last week's episode on protecting summer revenue and you're ready to go deeperYou're a licensed wellness practitioner trying to transition from in-person to onlineYou're juggling kids at home, a packed clinic schedule, and the dream of more freedomYou feel guilty every time you sit down to work on your businessYou keep telling yourself you'll start "when summer's over" or "when the kids are back in school"You're tired of trading your body for income and know there has to be a better wayFollow me on Instagram → igniteyourwellnessbusinessReady to work with me?

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Is there an actual cure for erectile dysfunction? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Nuziard of Regen Max says yes, and he has a 97% success rate and a patent to back it up. Jeff breaks down why pills like Viagra and Cialis eventually stop working (hint: it is a tissue problem, not a blood flow problem), and walks us through the four-step regenerative protocol that rebuilds erectile tissue from the inside out using shockwave therapy, laser collagen remodeling, testosterone optimization, and a patented stem cell biologic injected directly into the spongiosum. We also get into why this same science applies to women dealing with clitoral atrophy, lost orgasmic sensitivity, and vaginal dryness, plus an honest take on what peptides like PT-141 and GHK-Cu can and cannot do. If you or someone you love has been told to just manage ED rather than fix it, this episode is going to change the conversation entirely.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The real cause of ED is spongiosum tissue degeneration, not poor blood flowTestosterone decline triggers collagen loss, which dries out erectile tissue over timePDE-5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis) stop working when there is no tissue left to absorb bloodA four-step regenerative protocol can restore full erectile function, including for post-prostatectomy patientsWomen experience the same tissue breakdown as clitoral atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndrome, and respond even faster to treatmentOral collagen supplements do not reach erectile tissue; direct injection is the only delivery that worksThe full Regen Max program is $10,000 for one year, all-inclusive, with financing availableLINKS, RESOURCES, BLOGS, & VIDEO VERSIONS OF THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND HERE ROOTED IN DESIRE.

What if you could fund your lifestyle by group coaching just one day a week? That's not a fantasy. It's the exact framework John Meese has spent 13 years building, testing, and teaching, and he's bringing all of it to this episode.John is the author of the new book Sold Out Coach and the founder of Sold Out Coach Club, where he helps coaches and consultants build sold out group programs that earn at least $10,000 per month working 90 minutes per week. His alignment with the I Love Coaching mission is no coincidence: both worlds are built on the same conviction that coaches deserve to build something that's genuinely theirs, on their terms.This conversation wraps up our 7-part series on transitioning from one-to-one to one-to-many coaching with a perspective from someone who has coached hundreds of coaches through exactly that transition, and watched almost every possible version of what goes wrong.What You'll LearnWhy most coaches struggle to describe the promise of a group offer after they've mastered one-to-oneThe "one-to-few" bridge: why starting smaller changes your ability to sell transformation at scaleWhy you should stop selling the medicine and start selling the cure, and what that actually looks like in practiceThe "curse of knowledge" trap: why your expertise makes it harder, not easier, to communicate your offerHow John helped a client go from "I want to help people show up authentically" to "I help you radiate authority" in a single coaching sessionWhy imaginary avatars pay with imaginary money and real conversations are the only thing that worksThe $10,000 threshold: why John won't take group coaching clients who haven't already sold at least that much in one-to-oneThe gap problem: why applying online course marketing tactics to a group coaching offer kills conversionsHow to close the gap between you and a potential client and why that single shift unlocks salesHow a client with 35,000 email subscribers who hadn't made a sale in nine months added $100,000 in revenue with one simple emailHow another client crossed $500,000 in revenue in his first year with only 550 email subscribersThe power of positive peer pressure inside a group and why group coaching delivers more transformation than one-to-oneTimestamps00:00 Introducing John Meese and why this is the perfect series closer01:04 What John does: fund your lifestyle group coaching one day a week02:41 The biggest challenge coaches face going from one-to-one to one-to-many03:55 Why going one-to-few first changes everything05:41 What is your actual offer? Why this is so hard for coaches to answer06:34 Stop selling the medicine, sell the cure07:52 Live example: helping Dr. Leslie Davis find "radiate authority" in real time09:34 The onion layers of language and why your expertise works against you10:21 Does this work for beginners or do you need one-to-one experience first?11:16 Why imaginary avatars pay with imaginary money11:37 The $10,000 one-to-one threshold before building a group program13:00 How ILC's framework and John's framework align13:49 The two biggest pitfalls coaches make going one-to-many14:49 The gap problem: why course marketing tactics kill group coaching sales16:00 How to close the gap and what that looks like in practice16:44 Case study: 35,000 subscribers, zero sales for nine months, then $100,00017:43 Case study: 550 subscribers, $500,000 in year one18:07 How to get the book and the special offer for I Love Coaching listeners19:54 Why group coaching delivers more transformation than one-to-oneQuotes From This Episode"If you can build a sold out group coaching program at the core of your business, earning at least $10,000 per month group coaching 90 minutes per week, you can buy back your time and do everything else from a place of abundance." - John Meese"Don't sell the medicine, sell the cure. The medicine is the stuff you have people do to create change. The cure is the promise. The transformation. Once they say yes to that, then we talk about the medicine." - John Meese"Imaginary friends pay you with imaginary money. You are creating a real solution to a real problem for real people. That has to come from real conversations." - John Meese"Once she said 'I just want to help them radiate authority,' you could feel it. That's it. That's the offer. Everything else she teaches is the means to an end." - John Meese"His audience didn't change. What changed was he closed the gap. One email, subject line: 'quick question.'

In episode 294 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I'm joined by Federico Malatesta, founder of FM Transformational Coaching, executive and transformational coach, and former CIO of a $40B energy portfolio. Today, Federico works with executives and high-achievers navigating complex transitions, helping them make sense of uncertainty, understand real trade-offs, and act with intention when the old story no longer fits.We explore what happens when leadership is no longer about having the right answers, why many of the frameworks we rely on fail in real life, and how identity, context, and decision-making shift in moments of transition. In this episode, we discuss:Why leadership frameworks often break down in complex situationsWhat it means to read context instead of chasing certaintyWhat happens when the story you've been telling about yourself no longer worksThe myth of the “authentic self” and why it can be misleadingWhy midlife is a necessary redesign rather than a breakdownHow horses can reveal stress patterns and leadership blind spotsTune in for a reflective and insightful conversation on leadership, identity, and navigating complexity with intention.You can connect with Federico here: https://federicomalatesta.com/Thank you for joining me on this episode of IDEAS+LEADERS.

FREE AIO AUDIT HERESTRATEGIC READINESS AUDIT HEREWhat if your business doubling overnight… actually broke everything?Most eCommerce founders obsess over traffic, ads, and revenue. But behind the scenes, there's a hidden risk that quietly kills growth, and nearly 70% of businesses hit it around the $3M mark.In this episode, Ryan sits down with Louisa Smith, former digital marketing leader turned founder of A Quiet Shift — to unpack the “Strategic Readiness Gap” and why scaling without structure is the fastest path to burnout, broken systems, and team chaos.If you've ever felt stretched, stuck, or like your growth is getting harder instead of easier… this episode is your wake-up call.Why growth without preparation destroys businesses (and how to spot it early)The real reason your systems start failing as you scaleHow to know if your business would survive doubling tomorrowThe overlooked metric most eCommerce brands ignore (hint: it's not revenue)Why remote teams struggle — and the simple fix that actually worksThe 4-hour weekly habit that separates burnt-out founders from high performersEarly warning signs of burnout (before it's too late)How to build a business that grows without breaking youGrowth isn't the goal, sustainable growth is.Louisa reveals that most founders don't fail because of bad marketing…They fail because they weren't ready for success.“If your business doubled tomorrow, would it scale… or snap?” Strategic readiness > hustle — growth needs structure, not just effortIf you don't know your true profit, you're scaling blindSystems break first — especially inventory, team capacity, and communicationRemote teams need intentional connection, not more meetingsBurnout is contagious — it starts with leadershipThe best founders schedule thinking time, not just doing timeBlock 2–4 hours of “thinking space” weekly (no tech, no distractions)Create clear SOPs before scaling furtherAudit your real margins after ads, shipping, and returnsIntroduce non-work social check-ins for remote teamsDefine your capacity triggers (when to hire, outsource, or pause growth)Louisa shares a simple 2-minute Strategic Readiness Audit to help you identify:Where your business is at riskWhat's holding back your growthWhat to fix first
What if your dog's anxiety, fear, or reactivity isn't something to fix, but something to listen to?In this powerful and thought-provoking episode I am joined by expert dog trainer, behaviour consultant, and certified trauma professional, Dr. Laura Donaldson, to explore Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - also known as tapping - and its potential to support deep emotional healing in both humans and dogs.Blending science, somatics, and the unseen bond between species, this conversation invites you to consider a different approach to behaviour - one rooted not in control or correction, but in nervous system regulation, safety, and connection.Together, we explore what's really happening beneath the surface of common behavioural challenges, and why so many dogs (and their guardians) remain stuck despite doing “everything right.”You'll learn how tapping on acupressure points can influence the body's stress response, how trauma is stored and processed in the nervous system, and why emerging research around memory reconsolidation is shifting the way we understand healing.Through the lens of surrogate tapping, we explore the how working on your own emotional state can create meaningful shifts in your dog - not through force, but through the deep, often invisible connection you share.In This Episode, We Cover:What Clinical EFT (tapping) is and how it worksThe science: neurobiology, stress response & memory reconsolidationHow dogs experience trauma and emotional stressWhy some behavioural issues don't resolve with training aloneSurrogate tapping: can working on yourself help your dog?The human–dog emotional connection (mirror neurons, resonance & beyond)Consent, safety, and ethical considerations in healing work with dogsMoving beyond “fixing” into true co-regulation and relationshipAt its heart, this is a conversation about relationship, and about learning to meet your dog not as a problem to solve, but as a sentient being with their own nervous system, their own story, and their own path.And perhaps, as a mirror, guide, or invitation into your own healing, too.If you've ever felt that your dog is reflecting something back to you, if you're curious about the connection between your emotional world and theirs, or if you're searching for a more compassionate, holistic way to support your dog - this episode will open something up in you.Connect & ShareIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow dog mama who might need to hear it

You've been blowing out birthday candles and tossing coins into fountains your whole life. Turns out, you weren't just being superstitious. You were running an experiment in quantum physics, neuroscience, anthropology, and behavioral science simultaneously, and you had absolutely no idea.About This Episode Brownell Landrum calls herself an "Explorer of Metaphysical Mystery," and she's earned the title. After spending years synthesizing research from 70+ scientists across a dozen disciplines, she wrote The Art and Science of Wishing, an 879-page deep dive into the mechanics behind something most of us dismiss as childlike fantasy. She's a storyteller, not a scientist, which means she translates all of it into something you can actually use.In this conversation, Brownell joins Will and Karen to break down the neuroscience, psychology, and yes, quantum physics behind one of humanity's oldest rituals. No vision boards required.What You'll HearThe surprisingly clear distinction between a wish, a prayer, and a goal, and why it actually matters when you're trying to get what you wantWhat a "cosmic wish" is, and the specific shift that separates wishful thinking from something that worksThe four possible responses to any wish you make. yes is only one of them, and honestly not always the best oneWhy repeating a wish isn't magical thinking. it's neuroplasticity, and there's hard science behind why it rewires your brain toward what you wantThe "three Ps" framework Brownell uses to structure a wish so your brain can actually act on itWhy your body might be doing more of the wishing than your conscious mind, and what the Huna tradition says about making peace with thatThe Global Consciousness Project, collective wishing, and the genuinely unsettling question of whether thousands of people wishing for the same thing could move the needle on realityBrownell also wrote an entire chapter specifically for skeptics. Will found it. He felt seen.Listen If You've Ever Thought: "I know this is probably nonsense, but I still make wishes anyway."That instinct might be smarter than you think.

Your brain has two jobs when you're injured: keep you safe and keep you functional. So it finds a workaround. It automates it. And it keeps running it — long after the injury is gone.Sound familiar? In part two of Move for Your Brain, Amy and Marian Barnick explore how movement compensations work exactly like thought habits — locked in by the brain, running on autopilot, and quietly working against you until you learn to see them.If you've ever wondered why your knee still aches years after an old injury, why your shoulder never quite came back after surgery, or why you move differently on one side than the other — this episode explains what's actually happening. And more importantly, what to do about it.What You'll LearnHow the brain automates movement compensations — and why it never lets them go on its ownWhy treating the symptom (the pain) without retraining the brain never fully worksThe parallel between movement habits and thought habits — and why both require the same approach to changeWhat Marian's Kinetic Stacking Method is and how it breaks compensation cyclesThe Lindsey Vonn discussion: what a torn ACL after a knee replacement reveals about automated neural patternsWhen to see a physiotherapist vs. a kinesiologist — and why you often need bothWhat to Listen For[0:00] Your brain wins always[1:53] Menopause weight gain and movement compensations[3:51] How babies learn to move: the kinesiological blueprint for healing[5:19] "Your brain has two jobs: keep you safe and keep you functional"[7:47] The RESTORED Protocol and the exercise factor[8:09] Physio vs. kinesiologist: who does what and when[10:16] Lindsey Vonn injury discussion[11:44] Automated movement in elite athletes — the neural pathway explanation[14:28] "The muscles are just the worker bees"Resources Mentioned• Thoughts Are Habits Too by Amy Lang: [link]• RESTORED Protocol (free guide): moxie-club.com/restored• Marian Barnick's free lower body mobility guide: [Marian's link]• Part 1 of this series: Episode [###]RESOURCES: Book a FREE Discovery Call with Amy Order Amy's book Thoughts Are Habits Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself From Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.

Quick SummaryLaura Sinclair shares her journey from corporate marketing to gym ownership to building a thriving online business and community for ambitious mothers. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a business while raising children, the importance of simplifying your business model, and why you need mentors who actually understand your season of life.In This EpisodeLaura's unconventional path from corporate BMW to gym owner to online entrepreneurThe challenging reality of being a mom entrepreneur (and why you don't get it until you get it)How to simplify your business by focusing on what actually worksThe power of choosing complexity in the right season vs. protecting your energyWhy expectations create more stress than motherhood or business combinedBuilding in-person community through the This Mother Means Business conferenceSetting boundaries that support your life (like no calls before 11 AM)Key TakeawaysYou can't take business advice from people who don't understand your season of life. Childless mentors may give you strategies that are impossible to implement as a mother—seek advice from people who get it.Simplification comes from knowing what works. Track where your last 3-5 clients came from and double down on those channels instead of spreading yourself thin across everything.You can choose complexity—but only in the right season. There are times to simplify and coast, and times to intentionally add complexity for growth. Neither is wrong; it's about alignment with your life.Most stress comes from expectations, not reality. Define what being a "good mom" and "good entrepreneur" means to you, not what society dictates.Community isn't optional—it's essential. Getting out from behind your laptop to connect with other moms in business reminds you why you do what you do.Memorable Quotes"You don't know what it's like to be a mom building a business until you're a mom building a business.""I really do believe that you can have it all. You can't do it all.""Do you wanna come over to my house and do bedtime while I host those calls? Because that's not possible.""Simple was fun, and now it's complexity time.

There are a handful of ideas I'm seeing everywhere right now — on social media, in ads, and in the weight loss space — and honestly, they're driving me a little crazy.Why? Because they're oversimplified, misleading, and quietly setting people up to fail.In this episode, I break down five things that sound convincing on the surface, but often do more harm than good when it comes to weight loss, health, and long-term success.This isn't about trends or hot takes.It's about learning how to think more clearly in a world that rewards extremes, shortcuts, and unrealistic expectations.If you've ever felt confused, discouraged, or pulled in ten different directions when it comes to fitness and nutrition — this episode will help you recalibrate.This episode is for . . .>> Anyone tired of conflicting advice about weight loss>> People who feel overwhelmed by fitness trends and extremes>> Those who want sustainable results — not shortcuts>> People who value clarity, honesty, and long-term thinking>> Anyone ready to stop chasing hype and start thinking criticallyHere's what we'll cover . . .Why absolute, black-and-white claims should always raise a red flagHow underqualified coaches create more confusion than clarityWhy trying to fix internal struggles with external “solutions” rarely worksThe real problem with short-term challenges for long-term weight lossHow unrealistic body ideals distort what “success” even means anymoreGLP-1 medications, peptides, and why they can't do the work for youWhy “It depends” is often the most honest and correct answerHow social media has warped our expectations of healthy bodiesThe difference between being good at social media and being good at coachingThis episode reflects how I approach coaching — not with absolutes, gimmicks, or shortcuts, but with nuance, real-world application, and keeping the long game in mind.If you want help cutting through the noise and building something that actually works for your life, you can learn more about working together by emailing me at: Support@CoreyLittleCoaching.comJoin Corey's Email Newsletter: https://LoseFatList.comWant To Know More About Coaching: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

Under this luminous Full Moon in Leo on February 1st, we're invited to return to a deeper, truer experience of self-love — not as something we earn or perform, but as something we emanate.This episode explores love as a living, embodied frequency rather than an act of self-sacrifice. With Venus traveling through Aquarius, a powerful reframe comes online:My love is liberation.Together, Leo and Aquarius remind us that joy is not the reward for giving — it is the source from which authentic love flows.In this episode, we explore:How so many women were conditioned to equate love with depletionWhy midlife often marks a sacred turning point where over-giving no longer worksThe heart and breasts as powerful, energetic centers of embodied loveWhy eros and pleasure are essential nutrients for a radiant, spacious heartHow ancient priestess wisdom honored sensuality as sacred powerA gentle, fully PG Tantric breast and heart meditation to reconnect you to your inner sourceWhen eros, heart, and pleasure are integrated, love becomes expansive rather than draining — a natural offering rather than a sacrifice.This Full Moon is not asking you to shine harder. It's asking you to shine freer.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you're constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won't resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven't been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely worksThe real causes of slow gut motilityHow to test for these root causes of low motilityAnd what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturallyIf you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Slow Motility 00:34 - Understanding Real Root Causes 01:00 - Common Misdiagnoses and Misconceptions 02:01 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Deep Dive into Slow Motility 07:46 - Symptoms and Related Conditions 09:04 - Root Causes of Slow Motility 13:43 - Digestive Enzymes and Their Importance 17:34 - Visceral Adhesions Explained 20:32 - Understanding Myofascial and Visceral Adhesions 21:44 - Finding a Qualified Practitioner for Visceral Manipulation 22:32 - Self-Evaluation Techniques for Visceral Adhesions 23:21 - The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Motility 25:35 - Mold and Its Impact on Gut Health 27:56 - Other Pathogens Affecting Gut Motility 29:34 - Nutrient Deficiencies and Constipation 31:04 - Food Sensitivities and Inflammation 32:41 - Thyroid Issues and Slow Motility 34:49 - Comprehensive Testing and Protocols 38:13 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:235// SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail

Send us a textIn this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Dr. George Delgado, a family physician and one of the pioneers of abortion pill reversal (APR), to talk about the science, the stories, and the hope behind a medical protocol that gives women a second chance after beginning a chemical abortion.Dr. Delgado is the founder of the Abortion Pill Reversal Network and the author of Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice. As chemical abortions now account for the majority of abortions in the United States, APR has become an increasingly urgent and misunderstood topic. This conversation walks through what APR actually is, how it works medically, why it is opposed by powerful institutions, and what's at stake for women and children.Most importantly, this episode centers the human reality: women who regret their decision, reach out for help, and discover that it is not too late.In This Episode, We DiscussWhat a chemical (medication) abortion is and how it worksThe role of progesterone in sustaining pregnancyHow abortion pill reversal works medically and why it makes sense biologicallyWhy regret often sets in immediately after taking the first abortion pillCommon misconceptions about APR and what the peer-reviewed evidence actually showsClaims that APR is “unproven” or “dangerous” and how the data respondsThe growing risks of telehealth and mail-order abortionsWhy abortion pill reversal threatens the abortion industry's narrativeHow APR can be a redemptive turning point in a woman's lifeWhy APR may be the “tip of the spear” in the pro-life movement todayWhat needs to change in medicine, policy, and public awareness going forwardAbout the GuestDr. George Delgado is a family physician based in California and one of the earliest doctors to develop and study abortion pill reversal. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies on APR and founded the Steno Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to education, awareness, and research around abortion pill reversal. The Institute is named after Blessed Nicholas Steno, a physician and Catholic convert.Get the Book
In this episode of Shoulders Down Podcast, Leah talks with therapist and certified intuitive eating counselor, Libby Supan, about her 15 years in Overeaters Anonymous (OA) — and why she ultimately believes the program worsened her eating disorder rather than healed it.Libby shares how OA's abstinence-based model, the idea of food and sugar addiction, and rigid sponsorship dynamics fueled binge eating, shame, and co-dependency. Together, Leah and Libby unpack the concept of “fat serenity,” the fatphobia embedded in the OA ethos, and why abstinence backfires.Libby also explains how eating disorder treatment and intuitive eating helped her rebuild trust with her body, move away from restriction, and find a more sustainable path to recovery.You'll hear about:What Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is and how it worksThe link between abstinence, restriction, and binge eatingWhy the Food addiction model is inherently flawedSponsorship, power dynamics, and co-dependency in OA“Fat serenity” & fatphobia in the OA communityHow Libby left OA after 15 years and found true healing Mentioned in the episode:https://leahkernrd.com/are-you-addicted-to-sugar/More From Libby:Website: https://www.libbysupan.com/More From Leah:
