In this solo episode, I'm talking about something that most business owners don't do enough, but absolutely need to if they want to grow a sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling business:✨ Actually taking the time to work ON your business, not just in it.It's so easy to stay caught in the loop of delivering, posting, reacting, and trying to keep up. But building a business you love—that reflects who you are, pays you well, and lets you make the impact you're here to make—requires you to step back, take a breath, and look at the big picture.Because your business? It's not static.It's always evolving.You're always evolving.And if you're not giving yourself the time and space to reflect, vision, create, and adjust, you'll stay stuck in busy mode, wondering why things aren't flowing.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why your business needs you to step back and do the deeper workWhat it really means to “work ON your business” and how to make time for itThe role your money mindset plays in your evolution (and what to watch for)How to connect with your genius edge and create from that version of youWhat to do when your offer, message, or audience starts to feel offWhy content, community, and creativity are at the heart of long-term successAnd how I think about growing, pivoting, and leading in my businessI'm also giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I've been working ON my business lately—where I'm evolving, what I'm creating, and why I'm inviting you to come be in the room for what's next.Passionate & Prosperous LIVE: Your Genius Edge is happening October 17 & 18 in NYC—and this episode will give you a taste of the energy, clarity, and creativity we'll be tapping into together.If you've been feeling the nudge that something needs to shift—or you're ready to reconnect with your purpose, passion, and power—this one's for you.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

20 years ago, Trudy Forsyth and a group of women in wind asked a simple but powerful question: where are the other women in this industry — and how do we bring more in?That question led to the founding of Women of Wind Energy (now WRISE). The first event in 2005 was so packed they ran out of programs — and proved there was a community ready to grow.Today, WRISE has over 3,000 members, 47 chapters, a robust slate of annual programming, and continues to expand its impact across the renewable energy industry.To mark WRISE's 20th anniversary, Catherine sat down with Trudy to talk about:Her path from aerospace to wind in the early days of the industryLaunching her own distributed wind consulting firmNavigating misogyny and building leadership opportunitiesLessons from international collaboration and standards workWhat it really looks like to be an ally in this spaceHow the next 20 years of leadership in renewables can look different — and betterOne quote that stayed with us: “We need all of our intellectual capital engaged in advancing the renewable energy transition. Isolating any group is a mistake.”Thank you, Trudy — and thank you to everyone who's helped build WRISE over the past 20 years.

In this episode of CASAT Conversations, we are honored to welcome Mary Dunn, a retired Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose decades-long career has been grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and the power of human connection.Mary's professional path began in an unexpected place—the casinos of Lake Tahoe—where her early experiences observing human behavior planted the seeds for a lifelong career in service. With degrees in Sociology and Cultural Anthropology, she brought a deep understanding of systems and stories into her work across Nevada.Her career included vital roles in child welfare and mental health, including time in Elko working in Child Protective Services, serving as a Psychiatric Case Worker at Douglas Mental Health Clinic, and taking on leadership as the Deputy Compact Administrator for the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.Mary spent 2009 through 2012 as a Clinical Intern at West Hills Hospital, where she gained valuable experience but did not complete the required hours of supervision for licensure at that site. She later received her Clinical license while working at Family Counseling Service of Northern Nevada, where she provided direct care to individuals and families navigating complex challenges. She concluded her career as a Clinical Social Worker at Well Care, retiring in 2020.Throughout her journey, Mary championed the importance of destigmatizing mental illness, using laughter as a bridge, and—most of all—empowering people to make meaningful, lasting change. With warmth, humility, and hard-earned wisdom, she reflects on the moments that defined her career and the lessons she hopes to pass on to the next generation.In this episode, Mary shares:How her own personal traumatic experience sparked her interest in social workWhat she learned from her time in Elko CPSHow humor helped her build rapport and foster healingA breakthrough moment that reminded her why client empowerment mattersWhat sustained her through decades of emotionally demanding workWhy second-order change—supporting deep, systemic transformation—is the heart of the workHer advice for new mental health professionals entering the fieldJoin us for an engaging and heartfelt conversation with a social worker who never lost sight of the human being behind the diagnosis—and whose career reminds us that healing starts with empowerment, trust, and a little bit of laughter.Key words: clinical social work, mental health, social work stories, empowerment in therapy, healing through connection, human-centered healing

It's a no-brainer.We look at:What a 2% wealth tax could raiseHow it compares to other countriesWhat went wrong in places like France and SwedenWhy the UK might actually make it workWhat millionaires themselves are saying about itJoin the conversation, and if you think the super-rich should pay their fair share, sign the petition here:

How do you know your short-term rental is actually legal, and not one neighbor complaint away from a lawsuit?In today's episode of the Cash Flow Positive podcast, Kenny Bedwell is joined by Katie Johnson, a real estate attorney and investor, to break down one of the most misunderstood legal threats in the short-term rental world: deed restrictions.

In this heartfelt conversation, Vernon and Kyla reflect on his legal journey—from public defender and prosecutor to staff attorney and JAG officer—and how each role shaped his approach to justice. With lessons from his father, mentorship from respected judges, and deep Southern roots, Vernon is driven by more than ambition—he's driven by service.LAWYER SIDE HUSTLESVernon's not one to chase flashy side hustles—his hustle is service. In addition to his military service and legal practice, he helps run the Cutting Edge Music Business Conference, a long-running event originally founded by his father and godfather. The conference helps attorneys gain education in television, film, and music law, especially as digital media transforms the industry. Vernon contributes by advising on ethical issues and supporting work-for-hire contracts for local creatives.“It was originally designed to kind of be similar to South by Southwest, where lawyers can come and get education in the television, film, and music industry,” expresses Vernon Thomas in Episode 194 of You Are a Lawyer.Through this work, Vernon supports artists and advocates for fair contracts and informed decision-making. It's a creative outlet that intersects naturally with his legal career—and a meaningful way to stay rooted in his family legacy while helping others grow.LISTEN TO LEARNWhat it looks like to build a legal career rooted in public serviceHow Vernon balances military service, family life, and legal workWhat it really takes to run for judge—and why it mattersWE ALSO DISCUSSThe weight and responsibility of being on the benchHow clerks, court staff, and mentors shape the judicial processThe importance of intentionality and legacy in legal careersJoin the FREE mailing list!Get behind-the-scenes content from You Are A Lawyer. 1) Visit www.youarealawyer.com2) Add your email address to the Subscribe pop-up box OR3) Enter your email address on the right side of the screen4) Get emails from me (I won't fill your inbox with junk)!Interact with You Are A LawyerKyla Denanyoh hosts the You Are A Lawyer podcast.

What happens when a university rethinks the whole higher ed model rebuilds it around hands-on, project-based learning?Matt Kirchner dives into the bold model pioneered by Worcester Polytechnic Institute with Dr. Kristin Wobbe, Director of the Center for Project-Based Learning. A biochemist turned curriculum innovator, Kris has spent nearly two decades helping WPI embed real-world projects into every stage of a student's education.From first-year seminars on global challenges to immersive junior-year team projects with community partners around the world, WPI's model turns students into creators, collaborators, and critical thinkers from day one.Whether you're a university leader or an instructor in search of a better way to teach, this episode offers a masterclass in how to make learning stick.Listen to learn:Why students don't need to “know everything” before they dive into hands-on learningHow WPI redesigned its calendar and credits to prioritize deep project workWhat first-year students can accomplish when they take on global problemsHow project-based learning transforms both faculty culture and student confidenceWhy WPI students are more prepared for the workforce than their peers3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Project-based learning works best when it starts early and is embedded across the entire student journey.At WPI, students can opt into the Great Problems Seminar in their first year—a two-course sequence that explores global issues like food security, energy, and AI through interdisciplinary teamwork. By senior year, every student must complete a Major Qualifying Project worth three full courses, often in partnership with faculty or industry, making project-based learning a requirement, not an add-on.2. The humanities directly enhance technical learning and student outcomes.WPI's alumni data shows students who complete their humanities and arts curriculum earlier perform better in technical coursework later on. These experiences sharpen communication, interdisciplinary research, and critical thinking skills—essential for identifying problems worth solving and communicating solutions effectively in STEM fields.3. Project-based learning is scalable far beyond polytechnic institutions.Through WPI's Center for Project-Based Learning, Kris and her team have supported schools ranging from the Air Force Academy to community colleges and liberal arts institutions like the New England Conservatory of Music. With 85% of WPI faculty incorporating projects into their courses—and over half of student work now project-based—the model proves adaptable across disciplines, schedules, and resource levels.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Center for Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, visit: https://wp.wpi.edu/projectbasedlearning/Other resources:Read Kris's book Project-Based Learning in the First YearBeyond All ExpectationsWe want to hear from you!

Let's talk about what happens when you start refining your offers. Spoiler alert: it's not just spreadsheets, post-it notes, and “aha” moments. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the emotional chaos that often shows up when you're doing the deep, strategic work of shaping offers that actually reflect your brilliance. If you've been feeling confused, overwhelmed, or even a little bit like a fraud, this one's for you.I get it. You sit down to tweak your offer lineup and suddenly it feels like you're staring into the abyss. You doubt everything. You question if you're even cut out for this. Maybe you've even had the urge to scrap it all and start from scratch. That's not a sign that something's gone wrong. That's a sign you're right on track. We dive into the common emotional stages of offer refinement: confusion, mistrust, self-doubt, and that classic “burn it all down” moment. But we don't stop there. I'll show you how to ride the wave through the winter season of your business and into spring, where things start to click, confidence rises, and you finally feel proud (and ready!) to talk about your offers again.If you're knee-deep in the messy middle, know this: you're not doing it wrong. You're doing it right. What to Expect in This Episode:Why confusion and overwhelm are actually signs of deep strategic workWhat “burn it all down” mode really means (and how to move through it)How visibility and self-trust are connected in your offer strategyThe emotional seasons of refining offers—and why spring always follows winterA gentle reminder that doing it alone makes it harder than it needs to be"The clarity will come, but you have to go through the messy bit first." ::Follow + Connect with Mehttps://www.instagram.com/ceels.lockley/https://www.threads.net/@ceels.lockley ::Free MasterclassLearn more about the different types of offers and map out your offer ecosystem:https://ceelslockley.co/the-line-up::Join my CommunitySign up to my free monthly events for service pros, Sisters of Service:https://ceels-lockley.myflodesk.com/sisters-of-service ::Work with meJoin my group program for service providers who want to design a profitable offer suite over 6 months:https://ceelslockley.co/dreamiumCreate an industry-leading offer ecosystem with me 1:1: https://ceelslockley.co/main-event-experience

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE? Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether? If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you! On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement. Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement. What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement? If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference? Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth! In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks: "How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal. Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

On a Proverbs 31 Woman: "Rather than reading Proverbs 31 as a checklist for women, we should be reading it as Lady Wisdom herself personified in the marketplace—with valor, with might, with fearlessness as she laughs at the future, but with kindness as she reaches out with the profits of her work."
