Why High Performers Swear By Journaling Your brain never stops. Emails, decisions, fires to put out, ideas that won't leave you alone at 2 am. And most of that thinking? It stays trapped in your head, never actually going anywhere. What if there was a way to get it out? To think more clearly, make better decisions, and finally feel like you're operating from a place of clarity instead of chaos? That's what this episode is about. I'm sitting down with Laura L. Rubin, creative coach and author of The Big Unlock, to talk about why journaling isn't a floofy self-care ritual. It's a strategic tool that high performers at Google, Netflix, and beyond are using to sharpen their thinking and lead with more intention. Laura has worked with executives, pro athletes, venture capitalists, even special forces veterans. And what she's found is that the most visionary leaders all have one thing in common: they make space to reflect. We talk about why writing by hand activates your brain differently than typing, how to build a journaling habit in just four minutes a day, what to write when you have no idea how to start, and how journaling can help you work through feeling stuck in your business and life. If you've been curious about journaling but haven't known how or haven't stayed consistent, this conversation will change the way you think about it. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: You've built something real. A six-figure business, an audience, and offers that work. But revenue still feels harder to predict than it should. The Revenue Consistency Formula is a free live training for established female founders who have built momentum but are tired of inconsistent results. In this training, I'll break down what's quietly out of sync, and how alignment turns scattered effort into more predictable revenue. If you're ready for predictable revenue, you can save your seat here. The Big Unlock by Laura L. Rubin All Swell Creative Laura L. Rubin on Instagram Laura's Substack All Swell Notebooks Cross Pen Company HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ The 4x4x4 Method Makes Journaling Doable — Four minutes, four days a week, for four weeks. That's it. You don't need to write pages of deep reflection. You just need to show up consistently enough to build the habit. Plus, what to do if you fall off. 2️⃣ Writing By Hand Changes Your Brain — When you move your hand across paper, synaptic connections fire that just don't happen when you type. Pen to paper forces structured thought and pulls you out of the constant state of react and respond that most of us live in, finally giving you space to think. 3️⃣ Try a Done List Before Bed — At the end of the day, write down all the ways you were a good steward of yourself. Not just the big accomplishments. Did you take your supplements? Go for a walk? Fill your water bottle? Over time, you'll start to see patterns in where you're consistent and where you need more attention. It's a small habit that creates real awareness.MORE FROM ME Follow me on Instagram @amyporterfield SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

Month one looks great. Month two looks even better. Then month three hits and your revenue drops by 60%. What just happened? Your organic audience ran out of people. That's what happened. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Kerry Egeler, a veteran in the expert space who's been running paid ads for nearly a decade across e-commerce and coaching businesses. Kerry breaks down the hard truth most coaches don't want to hear: you can't scale a business on organic content alone. You're capped by how much you can create and how much the algorithm decides to show it. We talk about when to actually start running paid ads (hint: not on day one), why cold traffic becomes your biggest asset over time, and how to handle the inevitable haters that show up when you start paying for attention. Kerry also shares why some of the most successful experts watch their webinar get attended three times before someone buys - and why that's not a problem, it's the strategy. You'll discover: Why you need proof before you add paid ads (and what "proof" actually means) How cold traffic compounds into warm audiences that eventually convert—and why most people quit too early Why your organic audience can't keep up with your revenue goals (it's just math) The mindset shift from letting data decide vs. letting one angry comment shut you down Why negative comments are actually the cleanest indicator you're reaching new people This episode isn't about abandoning organic content. It's about understanding that hope isn't a growth strategy. If you're doing $5K-$10K/month and wondering how to break through to the next level, this conversation will show you the lever you've been avoiding. If you've been stuck at the same revenue ceiling month after month while the algorithm plays games with your reach... this episode is for you.

Erin's parents didn't put pressure on her to get perfect grades or go to Harvard; they wanted her to use her privilege and beautiful upbringing to make the world a better place. Youngest child syndrome makes you quick. Being the youngest of six, Erin learned to speak very quickly to get her thoughts in at the dinner table, and she was given unsolicited advice her whole childhood (which is why she loves giving advice now). Your siblings' sole job is to keep you grounded. Erin's parents are proud and supportive, but her siblings roast her and beat her down (all in good fun) to keep her as humble as possible. Success is attributed to a sense of humor. Erin gave career advice that was funny, and nobody had ever really seen that before. You don't get that unless you're the slightly bullied youngest of six kids your entire life. Rejection rage is a choice. At a Women in Film networking event, the head of the organization paused Erin's documentary trailer 30 seconds in and said, "You need to be more realistic." Erin went on to get a Pulitzer fellowship and premiered a feature documentary at 23 with international distribution. When you get a rejection, you can either let it beat you down or say, "I'm going to show them." "Tell me about yourself" is the world's worst interview question. It's lazy, not specific, and hard for the interviewee to truncate their entire life into 90 seconds. Use the past-present-future template: 1-2 sentences about your past, 1-2 about your present role, then future (where the interviewer's ears perk up), connecting to why you're applying for this specific role. Specificity is the magic word. When sending cold emails, the chances of getting a good response dramatically increase if you're specific: specific praise, specific question. Instead of "Can I pick your brain over coffee?" say, "I watched your video about X, and when you said Y, it piqued my curiosity." Higher quality questions get higher quality answers. This isn't just for podcasts or job interviews; it's a life skill. Good professional communication is like chess, not checkers. Most people just play checkers (you said this to me, I'm going to say this to you), but chess is thinking 10 steps ahead about what your end goal is and how this person falls along the path to that goal. Don't ask for a raise; ask for an adjustment to your compensation. Your job is transactional (you do work, they pay you). When you accepted your salary, you were doing X, Y, Z. Now you're doing X, Y, Z plus A, B, C. It's no longer an equal partnership, so you need an adjustment. It's not personal, it's just professional. Know your audience and your leverage. Emotional regulation is powerful communication. If we just act impulsively and say what's on our mind all the time, it doesn't actually get you where you want to go. Always keep your desired outcome in mind. It's about checkmate. Don't just react, think about what the end goal is and how this conversation gets you there. Humanize people, don't make them wrong. That egotistical senior VP is probably actually really insecure about where they are in their career and wakes up every morning not knowing what they're doing. Put your ego to the side. Being a great communicator requires taking a break from thinking about yourself and thinking about what the other person's life is like and what their goals are. Align your goals with their goals. Think about how you can create that authentic relationship by figuring out how your goals align with what they're trying to accomplish. Shut up and listen. We do a little bit too much talking when we're trying to negotiate or strategize. It can be very beneficial to embrace the silence and practice active listening. Curiosity is an amazing way to show love. Being genuinely curious about a person makes them like you, and it becomes more natural the more you do it. Compliments have to be genuine and specific. People are way better at sniffing out fake compliments than you realize. If you can't find one thing you truly admire about someone, don't say anything. Don't make it transactional. When people ask, "How do I not make it feel like I'm using them?" Erin says, "Well, don't use them. Just be genuine." The most loving thing you can do is respect people's time. Meeting bloat has gotten really bad since the pandemic, and a lot of time is disrespected in meetings across the world. Maybe don't have the meeting. A lot of meetings are completely unnecessary, or at least the way they're set up, the people invited, or the way they're run are really inefficient. Only invite crucial people. Make sure that only the people who absolutely need to be there are invited to the meeting. Always have an agenda. At the beginning of every meeting, say "Here are the three things we're going to cover today, and here's the goal of this meeting." Put it in the calendar link with bullet points. Don't have brainstorming meetings. Have meetings with very tangible goals at the end, state them up front, and make sure that goal has been achieved by the end. Email subject lines are underutilized. Erin's dad's company would put tags like "request," "informational," or "command" on subject lines so you knew exactly what type of email it was and what was expected. The exercise of making a five-year plan changes your brain. Erin doesn't believe in sticking to a five-year plan, but the exercise of thinking about the future creates new neural pathways that change the way you think about yourself and your life. A happy life is an intentional life. The vast majority of people float through life and act very reactionary. Sitting down and thinking about what you actually want in five years is powerful self-care. Sit down with your partner and do this together. Before you get married, make five-year plans together. They might look really different (which is revealing) or really similar which doubles down on alignment. Create multiple five-year plans if you're young. If you don't know which path you're going to take, create five different scenarios for yourself and see which one energizes you most. Financial freedom is a goal worth stating. Erin wants to be financially free in the next five years, which allows her to pursue mission-driven work on her own terms. You're just another human trying to figure it out. Even though Erin wrote the book on workplace communication, she's still winging it every day just like everybody else. Combat the knowledge curse by staying connected to real people. When you're an expert in something, it's hard to imagine not being an expert. Erin moved back to Maryland suburbs to experience people working normal corporate jobs, DMs with people daily about their experiences, and gets on free calls just to listen. The data in newsletters tells a different story than people's actual experiences, so she stays grounded by hearing real anecdotes from IT workers in North Carolina or nurses in Kentucky. Set goals really high. Erin wants her startup to help 500,000 job seekers in a year, which is ambitious, but she doesn't care if she fails as long as she tries to reach it.

Think about a difficult conversation you need to have this week. Instead of just reacting to what they say, what's your desired outcome? What would "checkmate" look like, and how can you think 10 steps ahead to get there? Who in your life keeps you humble If no one does, how might you be losing perspective on yourself? What would it look like to invite that kind of honest feedback into your life? Erin recommends making a five-year plan, not to stick to it, but because the exercise creates new neural pathways. When's the last time you sat down and intentionally thought about what you want your life to look like in five years? What's stopping you from doing that this week?
Although he has a huge following on social media now, Jonathan Edward Durham's life as a writer used to be a lot more low tech. It involved locking himself in a room in Los Angeles, pounding away on screenplays that almost no one ever read, sucking back smokes and liquor, barely sleeping, and finding himself to actually be pretty miserable. He did manage to write and self-publish a novel, Winterset Hollow, that found an audience, which led to getting online to promote it. He started to write more online, finding an audience, effectively keeping a journal to understand himself and the challenges he was facing in his life and in his mental health. Jonathan left Los Angeles, met a guy and got married, and came to a much better understanding of problems he had been dealing with his whole life. The second edition of Winterset Hollow comes out this fall and Jonathan is at work on a new book now. We also hear from John Moe about getting mad, starting MADD, and how to interview the anger that you're feeling to see what injustice it's alerting you to. Of note, we kept seeing Jonathan's short writing come up in our Preshies group on Facebook so much that we eventually had to book the guy. Thanks, Preshies, you are all now associate producers.

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
“Money doesn't fix your story. It hands it a microphone.”— Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. If you're a six-figure entrepreneur and you've ever bought into the idea that “more money means more problems,” this episode will show you why that belief feels true. Not because money creates chaos, but because growth exposes what was already there. This is not about a catchy phrase or a throwback song. It's about the psychological, emotional, and spiritual patterns that surface when your revenue increases and unresolved money stories rise with it. We're talking unconscious money beliefs, nervous system safety, leadership identity, financial tension, and why strategy alone cannot override inherited narratives about worth, security, power, responsibility, and control. If making more money is creating more pressure instead of more peace, the issue isn't your business model. It's the internal story you've been carrying about safety, visibility, and what it takes to stay secure. Money doesn't create your anxiety. It amplifies it. And as you approach seven figures, those inherited financial beliefs and survival patterns get louder. Growth does not automatically upgrade your identity. It reveals it. If your business is scaling but your body tightens every time you open your banking app, lean in. This conversation will show you why. Here's the truth: money doesn't create your fear. It reveals it. Growth doesn't rewrite your operating system. It magnifies it. And when survival is no longer the dominant concern, the narratives that once protected you become louder. If you feel more pressure at higher levels of success, it is not because you are incapable. It is because your internal agreements about safety have not yet caught up with your external results. Seven figures do not feel safe to a nervous system trained for survival. Until you outgrow the story, you will sabotage the sustainability. You'll walk away with language for the tension you couldn't name. You'll understand how your Ascension Archetype shapes your money story. You'll see why seven figures require nervous system capacity, not just revenue goals. And you'll gain a framework for shifting from unconscious reaction to intentional relationship with money so you can hold more without bracing for loss. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your success is amplifying a survival script ✔ How to identify the specific money story shaping your leadership decisions ✔ How to build the internal safety required to sustain seven figures ✔And so much more This episode is a call to examine the story you've been living inside of. The quiet one. The inherited one. The one that shaped how you survived and how you succeeded. This isn't about blaming your past. It's about recognizing that the very narrative that built your business may now be limiting your ability to hold more money with peace. If you are still tense while holding money, still bracing while scaling, still controlling while calling it leadership, this is the mirror. The very pattern that helped you survive and succeed may now be the ceiling you keep hitting. And you will not out-hustle it. This is your invitation to get radically honest about your relationship with money. Not your revenue goals. Not your projections. Your relationship. Because if you feel anxiety every time you make a money decision, if you check your accounts compulsively, if you cannot relax even when the numbers look good, this conversation will name what you have not been able to articulate.

It invites you to see it clearly.” “Money doesn't rewrite your story. It hands it a microphone.” “How you see money is really about how you see yourself.” “The story that helped you survive is not always the story that helps you sustain.” “You need to feel safe with money, and money needs to feel safe with you.” If your revenue is rising but your peace isn't, money isn't the issue. Your story is Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: What story about money did I learn before I ever earned it? Do I feel calm or tense when I look at my revenue? What do I believe will happen if I relax? Does my success feel expansive or guarded? If money is a mirror, what is it currently reflecting back to me? Do I feel safe holding large amounts of money, or do I feel responsible for protecting it at all costs? Want more of Darnyelle?

Diana and Nicole speak with Jan Joyce, AG, CG, CGL, who developed and coordinates the new virtual institute course, "Merging & Separating Identities: Strategies and Tactics to Solve." Jan explains that the most common mistake genealogists make is failing to recognize they have a "same-name problem" and assuming multiple records belong to a single person. She notes that the challenge of merging and separating identity cases (M/S) is accelerating because of more digitized records, the explosion of DNA testing, and the rise of AI tools. Jan shares her own breakthrough M/S case, which involved a woman named Susan Gliddon in three different geographic locations, and an example of a student who had mistakenly merged two different William Thompsons for five years. Listeners learn that if they suspect an M/S case, they should immediately stop adding information to that part of their tree and begin systematically recording every descriptor for the individual into a spreadsheet. The multi-week course teaches a rigorous, step-by-step methodology, including the use of identity dossiers, timelines, and correlation techniques, using a Common Data Set to focus on learning the techniques themselves. Students gain the confidence to untangle complex cases and transform their research approach by learning to apply systematic methods to any genealogical research problem. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

I appreciate all of your hard work, effort, and sharing of knowledge to make us all better genealogists." – KT "What a stupendous week, Jan! Thank you so much for offering this course and for rounding up so many great speakers. I learned things from every person who spoke (whether as an official speaker or a member of the group taking the class)." – BS "The class pushed me out of my tunnel vision." – PG "I have to admit that I was skeptical if this approach would work for me — but I found it a great way to make connections as well as step away from my computer and stand a bit. So refreshing to learn something new that is fun too!" – KT "I have really enjoyed this course. It has made me think differently about so many things. While the focus was on M/S, so much of what was taught and discussed can be used in 'everyday research' which for me is usually 'problem solving.'" – RC "After Kim Richardson did her presentation, I should have just stayed up all night.

The idea of traditions can feel heavy and like once you do it you're stuck doing them forever… I wanted to do a fullll podcast episode that would give you lots of ideas that feel light and fun and can be so special to your family. Things that make you all feel more connected… and that feel so unique and important to your family. It's easy for parenting to feel like a constant sprint sometimes… school, sports, meals, naps… it's a refreshing change to lean into special things that your family does. I realized how precious this is when one of my kids wrote a little paper about one of our traditions in 1st grade. You realize… this is the stuff they remember and the resinates deep. This whole thing is about pausing these busy life days we are all living and thinking about emotional anchors we can create throughout the year. Traditions don't have to be rigid. They don't have to be expensive. And they definitely don't have to be perfect. Today we're talking about a fresh way to think about family traditions: Some traditions you repeat every year Some you rotate Some you try once and just remember Some you write down so your family builds its own memory playbook Because what kids remember most isn't perfection… it's connection. HOLIDAY TRADITIONS The goal here isn't more pressure. It's creating emotional anchors in the year. VALENTINE'S DAY TRADITIONS Love notes on door After dinner game Decorate Valentine boxes & make notes for each other Secret Santa but Valentine style Blow up heart with balls and prizes to find inside Kids serve you dinner on Valentine's Kids go out to dinner with you on Valentine's HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS Say Trick Or Treat at the front door on Halloween in Costume Do family costumes and everyone plans them together Decorate the inside and/or outside of the house in a certain theme or go all out together Give out something specific like full size candy bars Set-up a game for trick or treaters to play to win an extra candy Pumpkin carving or pumpkin painting - invite everyone over THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS Gratitude time capsules, write notes and open them the next year Family volunteer Saturday Everyone puts what they are most thankful for in a hat and everyone guesses who said what Wear "thankful" shirts Family interview night, record what everyone is most thankful for - especially grandparents Coloring page to color all day on kids table CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Put lights around your neighborhood on Christmas Eve Ornament tradition, collecting special ones when you travel or making them Cutting down or picking out tree together right after thanksgiving Advent calendars Reindeer food Drive to see Christmas lights Decorate Christmas cookies Matching PJs FOURTH OF JULY TRADITIONS Do something nice for a veteran or someone that helps our country or community Stop by fire station with breakfast or something nice USA pride anything - decorate car windows, we do our golf cart Find neighborhood event at a park or create one NEW YEAR'S EVE TRADITIONS Family Vision Board Night Bang pots and pans Highlights of the year jar in kitchen- add to it throughout the year and read at end of year NY planning and goal setting Write a letter to yourself of what would make you consider next year a big success, if what happened, if you felt like what Watch the ball drop together with blowers Plan vacations for the year BIRTHDAY TRADITIONS (FOR KIDS AND PARENTS) Birthday breakfast interview... ask the same five questions every year Go around the table and do full toasts about why you love the bday person Everyone decorates their room before they wake up Presents first thing in the morning Smash cake in the face One present from each person in the family One nice thoughtful card from each person in the family MONTHLY TRADITIONS One long Sunday dinner with games New experience day - try one new thing you have never done before One service project day, or just a few hours Hike, outdoor long walk together FAMILY DINNER TRADITIONS Rose, Thorn, Bud — best part, challenge, what you're excited about Theme Dinner Nights with music and food from different countries THE TRADITION NOTEBOOK IDEA Instead of forcing traditions to be permanent, create a small family notebook where you write down ideas you tried… funny moments… things you want to repeat someday. This removes pressure and keeps the magic. Keep it somewhere easy like kitchen or nightstand. Traditions evolve as your family grows. Traditions are not about doing more. They're about choosing moments that slow life down… even just a little. You don't need to create ten new traditions this year. You don't need Pinterest-perfect ideas. Start with one small thing that feels natural to your family. Maybe it lasts one year… maybe it becomes something your kids talk about forever. The real goal isn't perfection. It's creating a feeling… a rhythm… a sense that no matter how busy life gets, your family has small anchors that bring you back to each other. And over time, those moments become the story of your family.
What does it actually take to generate $22 million across multiple creative businesses over 30 years? In this raw, behind-the-scenes solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the real highs, the hard lows, and the identity shifts that made all the difference.From leaving my Nordstrom job with a dream and a prayer, to scoring a $4,000 fax order from Twist in Portland, to experiencing bankruptcy and rebuilding with a completely new mindset. I map out the through-line that connects every pivot, every plateau, and every quantum leap I've taken as a creative founder. The secret? It was never just strategy. It was always identity first, sales rhythm second.I also share the 4V Founder Frequency (Vision, Voice, Visibility, Vibration) and explain why founder-led branding is not just a trend. It is the most powerful business asset you can build in an AI-saturated world. Plus, I share how The Launchpad (my daily audio coaching program) is helping creative founders step into iconic brand status every single day.In this episode, you'll discover:[00:00] The Launchpad intro: what daily alignment actually does for your sales[02:10] My 30-year journey: from jewelry designer to $22M founder across 5 businesses[08:17] The $4,000 Twist fax order that changed everything, and what hustle really means to me[11:32] Why sales is the lifeblood of your business (and how each pivot required a new rhythm)[15:00] The 4V Founder Frequency and why founder-led brands win in the age of AI[20:12] The bankruptcy moment at Whole Foods, and the identity work that rebuilt my confidence[25:00] How to become a vibrational match for the sales and income you desire[27:30] The Obsessed challenge and how to join my free 5-day sales eventHere are the resources mentioned in the show:The Launchpad, Daily Audio CoachingObsessed Challenge ( starts March 9)Desire AI (for jewelry designers)Are you enjoying the podcast?

In this Write Big episode, Jennie Nash is joined by AJ Harper, author of Write a Must-Read: Craft a Book That Changes Lives—Including Your Own, to talk about a more meaningful way to define success as a writer. AJ shares her concept of writing a “Top Three” book—one that becomes a reader's personal favorite, the kind they keep forever, recommend constantly, and return to again and again. Together they explore why chasing external metrics like speed, bestseller lists, or book deals can distract from what really matters, and how focusing on writing something truly beloved often leads to those wins anyway.

In honor of the world's most prestigious winter sporting event, the Lutheran Ladies have embarked upon their own Winter Hymnastics series. Throughout this series, they'll laugh, they'll cry, they'll sweat (sometimes literally), and above all, they'll sing as they celebrate some of the greatest hymns and hymnwriters past, present, and even yet to come. In this final episode of the series, the Ladies (joined once again by their fellow #hymnnerds Katie Schuermann and Dr. Lisa Clark) welcome listener submissions in an all-new Write This: Challenge. The assignment this time? To write one or more hymn stanzas in common meter for an uncommon occasion in the life of the church. Featuring 20 original hymns and hymn verses — covering various saints' days, confirmation, hymn festivals, Synod conventions, and more — this episode will inspire singers and hymnwriters everywhere to look for, and fill, quiet moments throughout the church year with new hymns of praise. Katie Schuermann is an author and storyteller whose books include the Anthems of Zion series from CPH, The Saints of Whistle Grove (a Lutheran Ladies' Book Club pick), and most recently, the Creed series, including The Big Father and His Little Boy and The Beloved Son and His Brother. Dr. Lisa M. Clark is senior editor of curriculum resources at CPH and one of the LCMS's most beloved and prolific hymn writers. Find a complete list of her available novels, devotionals, Christmas programs, picture books, choral music, and more at CPH.org.

The market doesn't reward originality alone. It rewards clarity.Readers make buying decisions in seconds—and those seconds depend on signals: cover cues, category alignment, keyword precision, and a description that instantly communicates who the book is for.In this episode, we break down why following a proven framework isn't creative compromise—it's strategic positioning.A formula is not a box. It's a blueprint.For fiction, that means honoring genre expectations and recognizable tropes so readers immediately understand the emotional experience you're promising. For nonfiction, it means knowing exactly where your reader is on their journey—beginner, stuck mid-process, or advanced—and framing your title, subtitle, and opening lines accordingly.We also unpack:Why “my book fits multiple genres” is often a red flagHow Amazon's algorithm prioritizes clarity over clevernessWhy ads that get clicks but not sales usually signal positioning misalignmentThe real reason roughly 70% of purchases stem from recommendations, not direct searchesHow to correct misalignment without rewriting your manuscriptYou'll walk away with tactical action steps:Audit your categories for buyer intentRefine backend keywords to reflect how readers actually searchEvaluate whether your cover signals genre in under one secondRewrite your description opening to lead with the strongest promiseYou're not copying creativity.You're copying clarity—so your creativity can shine.If this episode reframes how you think about positioning, share it with an author who insists their book is “different.” Then subscribe and leave a review telling us what shift made you rethink your book page.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

There's a difference between knowing a framework and owning it. Knowing is information in your head. Owning is a lens you see through. You can know something for years without ever owning it—and that's why so many entrepreneurs read every book, take every course, and stay stuck. The gap is crossed through reps and time. There's no shortcut. You use the framework until it stops being something you apply and starts being how you think. Your homework: Write down the 2-3 frameworks from February that hit hardest. Ask yourself: Do I know this, or do I own this? Commit to using them until they cross over.
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jacqlin — published author and romance reader — to talk about something I've wanted to explore for a long time: how writing intimate stories can deepen connection in marriage. We talk about: Why erotic writing can feel more vulnerable than sex The difference between sharing your body and sharing your private thoughts How to overcome fear of rejection Practical scaffolding and ideas for writing your first spicy story Boundaries, motivation, and what NOT to do Why your "why" matters more than the spice level Jacqlin even shares a sample story at the end of the episode (with a content warning), so you can hear how tenderness and connection can coexist with passion. If you've ever wondered: Where do I even start? Is this appropriate in marriage? What if my spouse rejects it? Could this actually bring us closer? This episode will give you clarity and courage. Sex isn't just about bodies. It's about inviting your spouse into the private parts of your mind and heart. And that can be transformative.
Strong bones aren't built with a single supplement or prescription — they're the result of a beautifully choreographed "bone ballet" involving an omnivorous whole food diet, movement, and load-bearing activity. In this episode, we explore the complexity of bone health and why simplistic solutions often miss the bigger picture. If you've been told you have osteopenia, osteoporosis, or are at risk for fractures, this episode will help you understand what's really happening inside your bones — and what you can actually do about it. We also introduce our new Lifestyle Guide for Osteoporosis, available at GreatMed.org, which walks through the full strategy for building resilient, fracture-resistant bones: https://greatmed.org/lifestyle-tools/osteoporosis-bone-health/ Key Takeaways: • Bone is living, dynamic tissue — not a static structure • Strong bones require both mineral strength AND protein flexibility • Bone remodeling depends on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, hormones, and blood supply • Improving bone density is not the same as reducing fracture risk • Physical activity reshapes and strengthens bone architecture • Mediterranean-style diet patterns support bone health • Key nutrients include protein, calcium (primarily from food), vitamin D (preferably natural sources), vitamin K, B12, iron, and a healthy microbiome • Ask about underlying causes of osteoporosis — not just medication • The same habits that build strong bones improve heart, brain, and metabolic health Get your copy of Good Food Great Medicine, 4th ed.: https://a.co/d/1D6hIYM More references can be found at www.GreatMed.org Would you like Dr. Hassell to answer your question on the air?

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell steps away from interviews and gets back to fundamentals. After more than 1,500 episodes and years immersed in books, conversations, and personal growth, Travis breaks down what he believes is the real path to lasting change. This isn't about hacks, motivation spikes, or waiting for a lightning bolt of clarity. It's about awareness, identity, environment, and painful consistency. If you've ever felt stuck between who you are and who you want to be, this episode lays out a practical, honest roadmap for closing that gap. On this episode we talk about: Why awareness is the catalyst to all meaningful change The difference between wanting results and becoming the person who gets them Why clarity comes from action—not the other way around How your environment (friends, geography, content) shapes your future The “messy middle” where most people quit—and how to push through it Top 3 Takeaways You can't change what you won't acknowledge. Radical self-honesty is the starting point for any transformation. Clarity doesn't come before action—it comes because of action. Stop treading water and start swimming. Lasting change requires courageous commitment and painful consistency, especially when results aren't visible yet. Notable Quotes “The pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of changing.” “Clarity comes from action.” “Commitment is where freedom lies.” “Everything good in life is on the other side of the work required to attain it.” Episode Breakdown: The Path to Lasting Change Be Honest About Who You Are – Awareness is the catalyst. Without it, there's no reason to change. Get Clear on Who You Want to Be – Focus on identity first, not just goals. Write the “day in the life” of your ideal self. Craft Your Environment Intentionally – Your circle, geography, and content inputs either support or sabotage your growth. Commit With Courage and Consistency – Push through the messy middle, where excitement fades but results haven't arrived yet.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes author and former teacher Sara Goodman-Confino to Set Lusting Bruce to talk Bruce Springsteen, fandom, and fiction. Sara shares her path from 21 years teaching to writing full-time, her Springsteen origin story rooted in hearing “Atlantic City” during a difficult college week, and her family's deep reading culture. She recounts seeing Bruce live (including being pulled onstage in Charlottesville in 2012 with a “Can I dance with Jake?” sign), attending dozens of shows, favorite songs and albums (especially Born to Run and “Backstreets”), and sending Bruce a copy of her novel Don't Forget to Write featuring a brief Bruce cameo. They discuss Sara's focus on humorous, intergenerational stories with strong female characters and “Jewish joy,” including why she writes Jewish characters beyond suffering narratives and how her novels highlight the recentness of women's legal and social limitations. Sara previews upcoming projects, including her June 9 release Off the Record about a young woman in a 1960s newspaper typing pool who uncovers a Cuban spy plot, plus a planned 2027 novel centered on the Beatles' first U.S. concert after Ed Sullivan.
