What if the thing you think is helping you close more sales is actually costing you conversions? My guest today, Jillian Murphy, is about to flip everything you know about selling on its head.Jillian went from being unexpectedly let go from her corporate sales job during the pandemic to building a seven-figure coaching business in just two years, all through Instagram DMs. No fancy funnels. No automation. No sales calls. Just authentic conversations that convert. In this episode, Jillian pulls back the curtain on her entire DM selling method, including how she closes clients up to $56K without ever jumping on a call, why making people book a calendar link is costing you sales, and how her content does 99% of the selling for her.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the "shoulds" in online business (the webinars, the ads, the complex funnels), this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Jillian's approach is refreshingly simple, deeply relational, and incredibly effective. Whether you're selling jewelry, coaching, services, or products, this episode will change how you think about sales forever.In this episode, you'll learn:[2:42] The moment everything changed: How Jillian lost her corporate identity and found her true calling in less than 48 hours[5:14] Why attending a mastermind six weeks before getting fired became the catalyst for a seven-figure business[8:36] The Facebook group strategy that generated $68K in her first launch (and why she still doesn't have a website)[12:00] The Google Doc that replaces fancy sales pages, and why simpler is more profitable[15:58] The "bursting pipe" theory: Why calendar links are killing your conversions and what to do instead[20:11] How to handle ghosting in the DMs without losing your dignity (or the sale)[22:56] The objection-handling framework that closed a $56K deal entirely through Instagram messages[25:10] Why Jillian refuses to automate her DMs, and how she still has time for everythingHere are the resources mentioned in the show:Follow @theJillianMurphy on InstagramJillian's Free Weekly Webinar: Mastering DM Selling (Every Wednesday)Jillian's Podcast: Scale Your SalesJoin the 21-Day Creativity to Cash Flow Challenge ($1/day for 21 days of actionable sales strategies)Are you enjoying the podcast?

In this episode, I talk about why fear often points to the very thing God is calling you to create, how resistance is spiritual feedback, not a stop sign, why the soul's growth demands courage, not comfort, how professionals transcend fear through devotion, not motivation and more.

Episode Summary:Your next season doesn't need more hustle — it needs more hearing.In this quiet yet powerful solo episode, Todd Tononi teaches you how to tune out the world and tune in to the voice of God.Because the answers you're searching for?They don't always come in a sermon or a podcast.They come in the still small whisper — the one that only speaks when you're still enough to hear it.Featured Scriptures:1 Kings 19:11–12 (NIV)“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”→ The clearest guidance often comes when the noise has stopped.John 10:27 (NIV)“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”→ You are wired to recognize God's voice — it's not reserved for the “spiritual elite.”Psalm 46:10 (NIV)“Be still, and know that I am God.”→ Stillness isn't passive — it's the posture of spiritual knowing.Luke 11:28 (NIV)“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”→ Hearing is only the beginning. Obedience makes it real.James 4:8 (NIV)“Come near to God and He will come near to you.”→ Proximity to God isn't earned — it's chosen.What You'll Learn:Why most people struggle to hear God's voiceThe difference between internal noise and divine nudges5 practical ways to begin hearing God more clearlyHow to build rhythms of listening into your daily lifeThe one thing God always honors: obedience to the last word you heardReflection Prompts:When have I heard God clearly in the past? What made it possible?What “noise” is most likely to drown out God's whisper in my life?What might God be saying right now — and what would obedience look like?Am I waiting for clarity that only comes after I move?Call to Action:Practice 5 minutes of intentional silence every morning this week.Choose one Scripture from today's episode and meditate on it deeply.Write down what you sense — don't filter it.Share this episode with someone who's navigating decisions and needs stillness.Final Takeaway:The voice of God is not distant. It's not reserved for the perfect.It's near. It's personal. And it's waiting to be heard by you — today.The key isn't turning up the volume of your life — it's turning down the noise.So pause.Breathe.Listen.Because in a world addicted to volume, you have the courage to follow the whisper.Keep showing up… with The Right Intention.

In this episode, Audrey sits down with registered dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor, Taylor Lechner, to talk about what really happens when you've been on birth control for 10+ years and decide you're done. They get into why so many women lose their period, come off the pill, and suddenly have acne, anxiety, mood swings, gut issues, or no ovulation — and why it's not just “your hormones being crazy.” Taylor breaks down post–birth control syndrome, the labs she runs (HTMA, gut, minerals, thyroid), how copper and mineral depletion play into PMS and anxiety, and why testing > guessing. If you're thinking about coming off the pill/implant/IUD — whether or not you want to get pregnant — this is the one to listen to.Connect with Taylor:Taylor has a free gift for you all!!! :  Breakup with Birth Control MasterclassIG: nourishedbytayWebsite: https://nourished-by-taylor.com/Taylor Lechner, MFN, RD, LD, is a Registered Dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor.

The topic today is 10 Principles to Develop Determination. Let's think first about the word determination. It has the word terminus in it, and that means, essentially, that one can finish what one starts. If you have ever started to read a book and then found that you only got to the second chapter, or if you had an idea to write in your notebook every day for the year, but you found in your drawer five to seven notebooks that were a quarter filled because you started and then you stopped, then maybe you felt frustrated and thought, 'Why couldn't I finish?' What to speak of finishing devotional practices, many people take vows and then later on, they give them up. It's practically commonplace. In fact, those who do follow vows stand out because people say, 'How is it they're still doing it?' And Prabhupāda told us, once, "Don't be amazed at who stops following their vows, be amazed at who does, as it's far more extraordinary." Those who do have the determination to continue and at least put together one lifetime in full dedication to Kṛṣṇa are notable. So, let's talk about some of the principles of determination today. My intention by mentioning these principles is that you can take them with you. Many of them are very practical, and you can enact them yourself, especially if you make a note or listen to this later and go through the ten and find out how you can execute each one of them. I guarantee you'll find an increase in the determination in your life, and maybe other benefits will come from this as well. As a preface to expressing how to develop determination, I'll start with the precursors—how to prepare the field to enact these ten that I'm going to mention today. And first is... 00:09 – Introduction and importance of determination 05:57– Foundations for determination: making decisions, commitment, and emotional motivation. 31:59– Principle 1: Work from Your Natural StrengthStart with your innate strengths and work within your capacity. 41:51 – Principle 2: Choose Deliberate Practice Over Luck 44:40– Principle 3: Identify and Avoid Distractions, Be Intentional 50:36– Principle 4: Narrow Your Choices 54:30 – Principle 5: Write Your Own Constitution 58:53 – Principle 6: Strengthen the Bonds That Free You 1:03:01 – Principle 7: Create a Personal Values List (truth, service, honesty, etc.). 1:08:00 – Principle 8: Realign Actions Regularly 1:09:30 – Principle 9: Ask: What's the Best Investment of My Attention Right Now? 1:13:09– Principle 10: Write a Priorities List 1:17:36 – Applying the Principles: Tips & Motivation 1:21:23 – Q&A and Reflections ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #determination #goals #spiritualpractice #sp#spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered

Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, aliens, millennials-dressing-up-weird-because-they-can't-afford-homes-but-they-can-splurge-on-hair-dye, and candy corn...It's that time of year again — October 2025, when brainrot meets toothrot on All Hallow's Eve.And this week, we're concluding our two-part special that'll keep you shivering in your skivvies.Carol Malone, a forensic paranormal scientist, has been featured on the Travel Channel and consulted for television and film. Known as the godmother of forensic science in the paranormal world, Carol bridges the gap between laboratory precision and the unexplained.She's spent three decades applying forensic methodologies - from blood-spatter analysis to environmental baselining - to haunted locations, turning ghost stories into data points and cold cases into energy maps.  She's no run-of-the-mill "paranormal investigator" or "ghost hunter" or "Jack Osbourne." (RIP Ozzy btw. We love your stuff).  No no...she is a seeker of proof!  And since she was friends with Ed and Lorraine Warren (see: The Conjuring or The Demonologist or The Amityville Horror or....The Conjuring 2...) and they let you into the inner circle, she's gotta be doing something right!  In Part Two, she speaks with Greg about:  -Why paranormal apps are mostly junk science (and dangerously misleading).-How the Mind Machine triggered a glowing cross witnessed by 50 people.-The forensic evidence that consciousness interacts with physical matter.-Why mainstream science fears paranormal proof more than ghosts themselves.-The moment reality stopped behaving like… reality.And did we mention it's scary?!?!Happy Halloween, Loopers. This is the perfect spoooooky listen while you're stuck in the upside-down and your only two choices for podcasts are this or Joe Rogan....good luck. Find Carol on her Facebook page at FPI Unsolved: https://www.facebook.com/fpi.unsolved Let Greg know how you like the show.

Worldschooling our kids hasn't started off quite like we had planned. Making our way over to Barcelona, where I'm recording this episode, has been eventful. It's been a reminder that you can't anticipate everything, and there are some experiences you just have to live through and get to the other side. I'm sharing the 10 lessons of leadership I have learned on this trip so far in this episode, and how those lessons have been reflected during real-life experiences with my family. In this episode, you will learn about: How our energy sets the tone for our experiences (especially with kids). How our first flight got cancelled and everything that happened next. The #1 trait of a great leader (including moms as a family leader). What I very quickly realized I had to give up on during this trip. Why you don't need to be a perfect leader to be one worth following. What we teach others in our true moments of vulnerability. What handling difficult moments with our kids taught me about leadership. Why authority and vulnerability are complementary to each other. Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

Have you ever sat in front of a blank screen, trying to describe your work, and felt like every word made it sound flatter? Or worse—like it belonged to someone else entirely? You're not alone. Writing about your art can feel like trying to bottle smoke. You know what you mean when you make it—you can feel it in your hands, your gut, your bones—but the minute you try to put it into words, something vanishes. Maybe you start to overthink it. Maybe you feel the pressure to sound impressive. Or maybe you freeze, because the idea of summing up everything you've ever made in a paragraph feels impossible. In this episode, we're going to change that. We'll explore what a good artist statement actually does, why most of them fall flat, and how to write one that sounds like you—clear, alive, and true. By the end, you'll have a simple framework to follow, some real-world examples to learn from, and practical steps to help you write a statement that connects your work to the people who encounter it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most artists were never taught to talk about their work, so it feels like “trying to bottle smoke”. Fear and jargon tend to take over. Think of your artist statement as a key rather than a summary; it gives your viewer something to hold on to, or an entry point into your work. It offers vivid clues, images, textures, emotions that invite curiosity. It says, Come on in there's something here for you." Ceri´s CLEAR method will help you to write an artist statement that actually sounds like you. It's all laid out in the episode. BEST MOMENTS “Writing about your work can feel like trying to bottle smoke. You know what you mean when you make it of course, you can feel it in your hands, your gut, your bones. But the minute you try to put it into words, something vanishes.” “Your artist statement isn't about proving you're clever. It's about helping people see what's already there.” “The goal isn't perfection, it's connection. When you can articulate your practice clearly, you can stop apologising for it” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

In this episode, I talk about why manifestation often glorifies control over connection, the spiritual difference between energy and obedience, how surrender positions you for supernatural favor, why God's way produces peace that striving never will and more.

This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz , your first step in uncovering how to leverage your divine wiring to lead with alignment as you stop sabotaging your next level of success. Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is " I am a cool. Calm and collected 7 Figure CEO. I lead my business with calm, clarity, and confidence. I am the emotional thermostat for my team, and I choose to show up from a place of balance and self-regulation. My nervous system is aligned with my purpose, and as I embody the calm within the chaos, my decisions are empowered, my energy is focused, and my business thrives. I trust that I can navigate challenges with grace and ease, creating space for boundless growth and success."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Regulate Your Nervous System: Before making big decisions or entering stressful situations, practice deep breathing exercises. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique—inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, and exhale for 8 counts. Doing this will help calm your nervous system and allow you to make decisions with clarity and confidence. Set Boundaries for Calm Leadership: Reflect on the moments when you feel overwhelmed or reactive. Set intentional boundaries to protect your energy and focus. Schedule time for yourself daily to decompress, reflect, and prepare mentally for the day ahead. This will enable you to show up for your team with calm leadership. Create Daily Rituals for Emotional Balance: Incorporate grounding techniques and self-care practices into your daily routine. Practice the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method when you feel overwhelmed, or take a short walk outside to center yourself. These daily rituals will help you stay grounded and focused on your long-term goals, even when challenges arise.   Affirm with me: " I am a cool, calm and collected 7 Figure CEO. I lead my business with calm, clarity, and confidence. I am the emotional thermostat for my team, and I choose to show up from a place of balance and self-regulation. My nervous system is aligned with my purpose, and as I embody the calm within the chaos, my decisions are empowered, my energy is focused, and my business thrives. I trust that I can navigate challenges with grace and ease, creating space for boundless growth and success."   And this week's journal prompts are: "When I feel stressed or overwhelmed, I will calm my nervous system by..." "One boundary I need to set in my business to protect my energy and create space for growth is..." "To lead with calm, clarity, and confidence, I will focus on..." And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father, We come before You today, grateful for the opportunity to lead with purpose, clarity, and calm. We ask for Your guidance in helping us regulate our nervous systems, allowing us to lead our teams and businesses with wisdom, peace, and confidence. Help us to show up in a way that sets the tone for those around us, so that we can create a thriving environment that supports our growth and the impact we are called to make. Give us the strength to overcome stress and overwhelm, and the courage to make decisions from a place of calm and clarity. May our businesses flourish, and may we remain aligned with Your purpose as we lead with grace, ease, and abundance. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

Fear often feels like a stop sign, but it's really a doorway. This episode shows you how to step through it toward freedom and growth. Fear has kept me stuck in places I didn't belong, like a toxic corporate job I should've left long before I was fired. But that loss became one of the best gifts of my life. Fear is not the enemy. It's a signal pointing to where growth lives. In this episode, I invite you to see fear differently and take a brave step forward. Action Steps: Reframe fear: Recognize it as a signal, not a stop sign. Identify the doorway: Ask what opportunity your fear might be pointing to. Take a small step: Write one line, send one email, or lift one weight. Practice saying no: Release fear of disappointing others with one simple no. Act with fear beside you: Remember courage is action taken even with fear present. Join the email list for Take The Exit - Be the first to step inside the story!

Movement is medicine for all of us, but its power is crystalized by its impact on the progression of the neurodegenerative Parkinson's Disease. In this conversation, fitness instructor Ashlee Grieb and Kathleen Featherston—who lives with Parkinson's—reveal how consistent group exercise doesn't just build physical strength, it actively slows disease progression, supports brain health, and creates life-sustaining community connections. You'll discover why showing up matters more than perfection, how early Parkinson's symptoms often hide for years, and why moving your body is one of the most powerful tools for fighting chronic illness. Their message is clear: the gym isn't just about getting fit—it's about fighting back, finding joy, and building relationships that heal. LET'S TALK THE WALK!

A strong family can change generations. But here's the kicker: if you're not intentionally and consistently building a stronger family…if you're distracted and divided at home…you're leaving the door wide open for chaos and pain. I've lived this – for years, I was winning professionally while slowly losing personally. And I'll tell you – success on the outside doesn't erase the sting of settling inside your own four walls. That's why this week's 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is a conversation that we must have (and more often). I'm breaking down how to build a family that can't be shaken, especially in this crazy world we're living in right now. I'll give you a simple, 3-step drill to strengthen your foundation and protect the people who matter most. I'm going to help you: Close the door the enemy's been trying to walk through Anchor your family around your intention and presence Start building a legacy that lasts generations So, if you want a reliable way to continually strengthen your family, then lock in to this episode. Let's get it! In this episode, you will hear: Why the enemy fears strong families — and how he tries to break yours down. The grit it takes to build relationships that last. Why provision without presence is just abandonment in disguise. A 3-step strategy to strengthen your family's foundation. How the Built Stronger Challenge™ can help you build stronger faith, fitness, and family before 2026 — and why you must act before Nov. 2. Key Quotes "Providing for your family financially without being present for them consistently is abandonment dressed up as success." - J.R. "If you're not intentionally taking steps to build a stronger family, you're leaving the door wide open for the enemy to enter and shake up your foundation." - J.R. Connect with J.R.

In this powerful episode, we go deep into Mitchell's journey from rock bottom — addiction, depression, debt, and divorce — to becoming a global top 1% podcaster and six-figure executive coach helping high-performing dads thrive at work and at home. If you're a father, husband, or just someone who's ever felt pulled between ambition and family, this one's for you.We unpack how to live a life “worthy of imitation”, what resentment means in relationships, how autopilot is sabotaging your dreams, and why your legacy might not be what you think it is.

In part two of our Arizona Bear Hunt recap, Matthew and Cody break down the final few days of their adventure. Over the course of five days, they treed ten bears and had an incredible experience exploring the rugged landscapes of southern Arizona. Do we hunt bears as part of a well-managed predator control plan? Absolutely — responsible predator management is essential for maintaining a balanced and healthy ecosystem. Do we hunt bears for food? Yes, that too. Bear meat is delicious and versatile — from roasts and ground meat to backstraps and even bear grease — nothing goes to waste. Just as important, pursuing bears is an exciting and rewarding challenge for any outdoorsman. If you're interested in learning more, do your research, connect with local wildlife managers, and reach out to groups like the American Bear Foundation or Howl for Wildlife.

What happens when your past keeps rewriting your future?We all carry stories — ones we didn't choose, ones that shaped our reactions, confidence, and leadership. But what if those stories aren't true anymore? What if the version of you that learned to survive isn't the same one called to lead?In this transformative episode, Jason VanRuler, MA, CSAT — a nationally recognized therapist, speaker, and author specializing in relationships, attachment, and dating — joins the conversation to share how facing your broken places can lead to true connection and personal freedom. Jason's journey from a chaotic, trauma-filled childhood to becoming one of the most respected voices in emotional health and leadership offers a roadmap for anyone ready to take ownership of their story.Featured in major national news outlets, known for his strong social media presence, and having spoken on stages to thousands, Jason brings both professional insight and raw honesty to every conversation. He's the author of Get Past Your Past (Zondervan, 2023) and the upcoming Discovering Your Communication Type, set to be released in April — a groundbreaking look at how our attachment styles shape the way we speak, lead, and love.He reveals why truth is the ultimate kindness, how confidence is something we earn through small, consistent action, and why uncovering your origin story is the foundation of authentic leadership. Whether you're leading a team, a family, or yourself, this episode will challenge how you view growth, success, and self-awareness.Quotes:“The best kind of confidence is the kind you earned. You can only earn it if you know where you're starting.”“If we don't really understand why that's the goal, we'll never get there. What fuels us fools us into thinking, ‘When I get X, I will feel Y,' but fulfillment comes from knowing our true origin story.”“You don't have to do the big thing every day, but you've got to do a thing every day that helps you be better—and do it consistently.”Actionable Takeaways:Identify your “scale moment.”Write down one area of your life where you've been avoiding the truth — your finances, health, or relationships. What would it look like to face it honestly this week?Audit your personal story.Reflect on a belief you've carried since childhood (“I'm not good enough,” “I always mess up,” etc.). Ask yourself: Is this still true today — or just an old story I've never rewritten?Earn your confidence through small wins.Choose one habit or routine you can do daily — no matter how small — that reinforces trust in yourself. Consistency, not perfection, builds authentic confidence.Define your communication type.Are you a Peacemaker, Advocate, Thinker, Harbor, or Spark? Notice how you naturally communicate under stress, and identify one way to better connect with someone who communicates differently.Celebrate progress, not just results.At the end of each week, list one thing you accomplished or handled better than before. Pause to acknowledge growth before moving on to the next challenge.Conclusion:Jason VanRuler reminds us that growth doesn't begin with perfection — it begins with honesty. When we stop hiding behind stories that no longer serve us and start owning where we really are, we gain the power to change everything. Confidence isn't something we're given; it's something we earn through daily discipline, reflection, and courage.Whether you're a leader, parent, or student of life, the path forward starts with one question:What story about yourself needs to change — and what truth are you finally ready to face?Call-to-action:If this episode inspired you, take the next step: dive deeper into Jason's work through his books Get Past Your Past and Discovering Your Communication Type, and begin building a more intentional, truthful, and connected version of yourself.

For Topic Tuesday, the guys are asked if money was no object, maintenance was unlimited and storage space available, how big would their car collection be?

Then, throw out the spreadsheets! Mandy C. needs a replacement do-it-all fun cars, and writes in. Audience questions ask what path Porsche should take regarding the 911, and is GM making a big mistake by choosing to not offer CarPlay and Android Auto in the future?

In this episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy, Dr. Aziz reveals the secret to boosting confidence while dissolving anxiety and it's not another breathing exercise or mindset hack. It's a deeper shift in how you see yourself and how you approach life. Most people try to overcome fear by gritting their teeth and pushing through. But what if you could unlock a bold version of yourself that actually wants the challenge? Dr. Aziz introduces the powerful identity of the Bold Explorer a part of you that thrives on uncertainty, risk, and discovery. Whether you're working to speak up at work, approach someone you're attracted to, or just stop overthinking every social interaction, this episode gives you a new way to show up with strength, courage, and yes, more fun. Ready to activate the version of you that's fearless, adventurous, and fully alive? Tune in now and start living like the bold explorer you were born to be. --------------------------------------------- If you've tried all the “calm down” hacks—meditations, breathing apps, mantras—and still find anxiety waiting for you at work, on dates, or before you speak up… this is for you. There's a faster path than soothing your nerves in the moment: change who's showing up. When you do, confidence rises and anxiety dissolves—without white-knuckling your way through it. “Confidence isn't something you earn— it's something you remember.” The One Shift: Become the Bold Explorer Anxiety spikes when the “stay-safe” part of you takes the wheel. Instead, step into a different identity: the Bold Explorer—the part of you that seeks growth, welcomes the unknown, and chooses meaningful risk over comfortable stagnation. Explorers don't wait to “feel ready.” They move toward the edge on purpose. Try this: Before a conversation, meeting, or date, pause and say (quietly or aloud), “I'm a Bold Explorer. Let's see what's here.” Notice how your posture, breath, and tone shift toward grounded courage. “Boldness is always rewarded: with aliveness, with wisdom—and often with wins.” Why This Kills Anxiety (and Builds Real Confidence) Most people dip a toe outside their comfort zone, endure the fear, then retreat. That trains your body to associate growth with threat. The Explorer flips the script: discomfort becomes a signal of aliveness, not danger. When your brain interprets the moment as chosen adventure, your nervous system calms and capability expands. Two guaranteed payoffs every time you act boldly: Aliveness — You feel more awake, present, and powerful. Wisdom — You learn faster through doing than by rehearsing in your head. Make It Practical: An Explorer's Daily Reps Name the Expedition. What's today's “edge”? Speaking up once in a meeting? Starting a conversation? Sending the pitch? Write it down each morning: “Today's exploration = ___.” Use the 5% Rule. You don't need to cliff-jump. Reveal 5% more, ask one deeper question, take one bolder step than yesterday. Anchor the Identity (Cold Shower Primer). Tomorrow morning, take a 30–60 second cold shower. Not for biohacking bragging rights, but to train your brain: I move toward what's uncomfortable on purpose. Then carry that energy into the first bold action of your day. “Don't wait to feel brave. Act—then let your feelings catch up.” Final Word: This Is Who You Are You're not building a new self from scratch—you're remembering the part of you that has always been willing to try, to learn, to live fully. When the Explorer leads, anxiety loses its grip because there's nothing to defend—only something to discover. You can do this. Stand a little taller. Breathe deeper. Choose one bold step today. And watch how confidence rises while anxiety quietly fades into the background.

On Sunday, Argentinian President Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza (Freedom Advances) party won approximately 41% of the national vote in the country's midterms, outperforming polling expectations and more than doubling its representation in the next congress. The result gives Milei additional legislative support to uphold presidential vetoes and block impeachment efforts. It also serves as a vote of confidence in his administration, which has prioritized spending cuts and other large-scale reforms. In the weeks before the election, the Trump administration also provided $40 billion in financial support to stabilize the country's currency and markets.

We know that pushback moments can sting. Eye rolls, refusals, accusations, or shutting down are all things kids in blended families can tend to do. It's easy for parents and stepparents to appease, minimize, deflect, control, try to 'fix-it' or simply avoid pushback (we've done it too). In this two-part series, we act as your guides and name the real struggle beneath kids' hurtful behavior: loss, grief, and fear that come with blending. Then we introduce a clear plan: Emotion Coaching. You'll hear real-life scenarios, why common reactions backfire, and what to do instead to help your child feel seen and supported. The win? A calmer home,  stronger bonds, and practical steps forward. The risk of doing nothing? Escalating conflict, shutdown, resentment, and power struggles. If you're ready to respond to your child's pushback with calm, clarity, and care, this conversation is for you.You'll Discover:The four common Pushback Predicaments: competing for love, accusations/threats, oppositional attitude, and loss & grief. And what's really going on underneath. Why appeasing, minimizing, deflecting, defending, controlling, or avoiding often makes things worse, and what kids hear when we react in those ways. How Emotion Coaching helps kids identify and name big feelings, regulate their emotions, and become receptive to changing their behavior.  Plus, the blended-family benefits (safety, trust, and respect). A simple reflection challenge to build awareness around your typical reaction patterns and your child's reactions to your reactions, so that you can choose a better way to respond next time. Continued Learning on this Topic:Episode 154.

"It's better to miss than to mistime the drop—because once they learn it's a trap, they won't come back." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this first installment of our Drop Trap Workshop, we're diving deep into the fundamentals of drop trapping—a powerful and underutilized tool in the TNR world.
