Welcome back to the Speakeasy Podcast—and to the very last episode of the year. To close out this season, Blake sits down with Erin Wilkins, a friend and voice she deeply trusts, to talk about something countercultural but necessary: slowing down. Erin has walked this road just a little ahead—moving from seasons of intense advocacy, visibility, and urgency into a quieter, more intentional life rooted in peace, obedience, and presence. Together, they reflect on what it costs to stay in the fight too long, how good assignments can still have an expiration date, and why obedience doesn't always look brave to the world—but often is. This honest, friend-to-friend conversation explores burnout, identity, motherhood, boundaries with technology, and learning to be informed without being consumed. They talk about passing the torch, protecting family rhythms, resisting urgency culture, and embracing winter as a God-designed season of rest. If you're feeling stretched thin, conflicted about slowing down, or wondering how to end this year in a way that actually prepares you for the next, this episode is for you. Sometimes the strongest finish isn't louder or faster—it's slower, quieter, and more faithful.

Most practice owners treat finances like a fire drill: frantic at year-end, reactive at tax time, and surprised when cash flow hiccups wreck payroll. What if money management wasn't a crisis to survive, but a repeatable system you lead on purpose? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club, host Nathan Shields sits down with financial strategist Eric Miller (Econologics) and bookkeeping & vCFO expert Sean Healy (AccountedFor). Together they deliver an operational playbook for wrapping up 2025, protecting cash flow in Q1, and building the disciplined systems that let owners actually plan for retirement — not just keep the lights on. They dig into:Why proactive tax planning beats last-minute spending sprees (and how to actually execute it with your CPA)The three financial skills every owner needs: acquire it, control it, invest it — and how to institutionalize them in your practicePractical year-end moves that protect cash flow (retirement catch-ups, HSA contributions, beneficiary checks, and smarter equipment buys)How to build a financial team that works together — CPA, bookkeeper, and advisor aligned to your goals (and when it's time to fire an advisor who isn't)Forecasting and proforma basics: reverse-engineer the profit you need to reach your personal goals, then map the operational steps to get thereCash-first tactics for Q1 (expect a tight January — plan the line of credit, manage payroll cadence, and pre-talk client deductibles)Money discipline that scales: automated savings buckets, routine scorecards, and the operational cadence that produces real wealth If you've ever been blindsided by tax bills, drifted through another year without a cash plan, or felt like your practice owns you — this episode gives you the financial clarity and tactical next steps to run your business like an asset, not an anxiety.

Today I'm kicking off the week with some unconventional wisdom around finishing the year strong, and giving you permission to aim for a C-.

Resolutions feel great for a week, but momentum comes from something quieter: simple systems you can repeat even when life gets messy. I'm closing the year with a candid look at how to turn big goals into small, non-negotiable actions, why time audits beat motivation hacks, and how to set timelines that match real human progress instead of social media promises.We start by reframing the whole New Year energy. Instead of chasing a perfect 30-day streak, I walk through the habit-stacking approach that actually sticks: pick one behavior you can win every week, protect it on your calendar, then layer the next. You'll hear practical examples—three training days you truly keep, a weekly prep window, a simple breakfast plan—that create sustainable fitness, better recovery, and less mental churn. I also break down how class signups and capacity caps protect safety and coaching quality. When a session includes barbells and gymnastics, planning matters. Respecting the system isn't red tape; it's how everyone gets a solid, safe workout.I share my own goals for the new year too: making myself more available to our community through a streamlined calendar and WhatsApp, building consistent media and newsletter systems, and investing deeper in coaching development now that we're all under one roof. On the training front, we map the next block: a five-to-six week focus on the clean and jerk and the bar muscle-up, with progressions that meet you where you are—mobility, stability, strength, and skill practice baked into smart conditioning. Expect approachable GPP now, Sweat sessions returning January 5, and a push toward meaningful skill milestones without sacrificing joint health.If you're ready to trade willpower spikes for winning systems, this one's your playbook.

What's actually happening in the real estate market right now—and why does it matter heading into 2026? In this episode, we kick off the new year with some laughs, some honest conversation, and a real look at what buyers and sellers are experiencing in the DFW market today. Gibson shares firsthand stories from the field showing how families are negotiating seller concessions, selling homes faster than the rest of the market, and finding opportunities most people don't realize still exist. We also talk about New Year momentum, goal setting vs. real commitment, and a challenge our team does every year that keeps us focused on growth—personally, professionally, and as advocates for our clients. Plus, we dive into something we're calling the HEB Factor—why grocery stores like H-E-B are quietly influencing where people want to live and how that's affecting home values across North Texas. If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to make sense of the market in 2026, this episode is about helping you get clarity before the spring rush, not pressure you into anything. Sometimes the smartest move is simply starting the conversation early.If you want to sit down for a free, no-pressure real estate strategy session, you can call or text 214-310-0008, or find us online at toddtramonteteam.com.

As the year winds down, this thoughtful conversation with Sara Kline offers an honest reflection on growth, resilience, and whole-person wellness. Through personal insights and lived experiences, the episode explores how health shifts, mindset changes, and supportive routines shape long-term well-being.

Everyone else is "winding down." You're deciding whether next year is accidental… or intentional. In this timely end-of-year episode of PivotMe, April breaks down three powerful holiday pivots that separate small-business owners who strategically recharge from those who collapse into January already behind. This isn't about hustling through the holidays. It's about protecting margin, deepening connection, and quietly positioning your next big year while everyone else naps. If you want to close the year like a leader and step into the next one with clarity instead of chaos, this episode is your playbook. Part 1: The Gift of Margin Theme: Protect your time, energy, and profit before you gift them all away. December isn't the time for more strategy — it's the time for boundaries. April challenges listeners to audit their calendars, guard their best hours, and stop leaking energy through guilt-driven yeses. Key insight: A boundary isn't selfish — it's self-respect. And your brain needs protection if it's going to lead next year. Part 2: The Pivot of Gratitude and Connection Theme: Reflect on who helped you — and strengthen the relationships that carried you. Before charging into resolutions, April invites listeners to look back at the people who showed up this year — teammates, vendors, friends, and quiet supporters. Gratitude isn't soft. It's one of the strongest retention and leadership strategies you have. Part 3: The Holiday Business Pivot Theme: Prep your next year like the pros do while everyone else checks out. While most entrepreneurs mentally clock out in December, leaders quietly position their relaunch. April walks through: Reviewing the top 3 wins of the year Releasing dead offers, draining clients, and pointless expenses Resetting the story of how you want your business talked about next year Because the best Januarys are built in December. Pivot Point Takeaway Rest doesn't mean disengage. It means prepare with intention. Protect your margin. Practice gratitude. Position your relaunch. Want the checklist to walk this episode into real action?   ----------------

As the year comes to a close, many women feel the pressure to finish strong — to push harder, tie everything up neatly, and prove that the year “counted.” But what if that pressure isn't aligned with what this season is actually asking of you? In this episode, Aubrey invites you into a softer, truer way of closing the year: finishing it honestly instead of forcefully. With Christmas approaching and expectations running high, this conversation offers grounding, perspective, and relief for the woman who feels tired, reflective, and quietly aware that something inside her has changed. Blending astrological insight, nervous-system wisdom, mindfulness, and faith-rooted truth, this episode is a reminder that winter is not a time for performance — it's a time for integrity, truth, and recalibration. In this episode, we explore: Why the “finish the year strong” mindset can create more burnout than alignment The deeper meaning of Capricorn season and the Winter Solstice How your nervous system responds to pressure, obligation, and emotional overload A simple mindfulness practice for grounding during busy holiday moments What it really means to finish the year aligned rather than accomplished How honesty creates space for clarity, rest, and future growth This episode is especially for the woman who: Feels both hopeful and exhausted Knows she's changing, even if her life doesn't look different yet Is craving peace more than productivity Wants to end the year with integrity instead of pressure Toward the end of the episode, Aubrey shares about Embodied — A Feminine Leadership Experience, (use coupon code SURRENDER) a supportive space for women who are ready to live from truth, intuition, and nervous-system safety rather than hustle or force. ✨ Listen in, take a breath, and let this be your permission to end the year honestly.

Finishing the year “strong” is not just a slogan for nonprofit leaders; it's a finance and operations project. Regional Director Ellie Hume from Your Part-Time Controller walks through five concrete steps to wrap up the year with fewer surprises and more control.She starts with yearend giving appeals. Too many organizations accidentally lock donations into narrow buckets by saying things like “your gift will buy two backpacks.” Donors then reasonably assume their dollars can only be used for that purpose. Ellie urges development and finance to work together on language so appeals connect to mission without boxing funds into restrictions the organization never intended.Next, she turns to scenario planning and timing. December is often halfway through the fiscal year for June 30 year end organizations and just after the budget has been approved for calendar year nonprofits. That makes it a perfect time to revisit assumptions, test “what if” scenarios, and adjust to shifting funding realities instead of waiting for a crisis.Ellie then pairs this with strategic planning, reminding viewers that a three or five year plan can't sit on a shelf. Boards and executives need to treat it as a shared roadmap, check progress regularly, and bring staff into the conversation. As she puts it, “If your staff is not bought into your strategic plan, it's going nowhere.”Finally, she gets very practical: start 1099 and audit preparation now. Confirm W 9s, addresses, tax IDs, and vendor coding before January chaos sets in. Pull last year's audit checklist, gather board minutes, grant agreements, policies, and make sure reconciliations are current. That preparation reduces stress for finance, the executive director, and external partners, and it frees up capacity when the sector is under increased scrutiny.Throughout, Ellie frames finance as a strategic partner, not just report producers. The goal is a nonprofit that is calm, compliant, and ready for whatever the new year brings. 00:00:00 Welcome and Ellie Hume introduction 00:02:30 YPTC growth and new Chicago and Seattle offices 00:05:30 Why relationships matter in nonprofit finance 00:07:20 Year end appeals and unintentionally restricted gifts 00:11:45 Scenario planning at calendar and fiscal year midpoints 00:14:20 Keeping multi year strategic plans active and shared 00:18:30 Getting staff genuinely engaged in the strategy 00:19:50 Early 1099 preparation and W 9 best practices 00:22:10 December audit prep using last year checklists 00:24:45 Reducing stress and freeing finance to be strategic #YearEndNonprofitFinance #NonprofitAccounting #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about how to wrap up a strategic plan as the year winds down and how to move into next year with clarity and confidence. We look at real workplace questions like: What happens when a goal changes When it makes sense to adjust a goal When you should keep pushing And what to do if you made progress but did not finish We also talk about why celebrating wins along the way matters just as much as hitting the final mark. A goal is not a pass or fail grade. It is a direction. And the year is not over yet, so you do not have to give up on your goals. Whether you are an employee trying to finish strong, a manager helping people stay focused, or an executive thinking about next years plan, we unpack how to keep momentum going while still being honest about what shifted and why.

Where you committed to blocking your calendar, building systems, protecting your energy, and showing up strategically for the final quarter of the year.How's that going?If you crushed it—amazing. If you started strong and then life happened—you're not alone. If you listened and thought "great idea" but didn't actually do anything—no judgment.Here's what matters now: you've got 22 days left.In this episode, I'm checking in on where you are, connecting it back to our conversation about self-trust, and giving you a practical plan for finishing the year as someone who keeps their word to themselves.Because January 1st isn't a magic reset button. The patterns you're running right now are the same ones you'll carry into the new year—unless something changes.Let's use these 22 days to change something.What you'll learn in this episode:Why the last 68 days matter less than the next 22How broken promises to yourself erode your confidence and your ability to executeThe real cost of not following through (hint: it's not about the goal)Why self-trust is the foundation that everything else gets built onHow to reframe these final weeks as an opportunity to rebuildA simple 5-step plan for finishing the year strongWhy who you become matters more than what you accomplishThis week's action plan:Do a quick audit of the last 68 days—what promises did you keep? What promises did you break?Pick one small, specific, achievable thing to do every day for the next 22 daysTell someone your commitment and ask them to check in with youTrack it daily—a simple checkmark is enoughTake your CEO hour this week to review and planKey takeaways:Every decision is a vote for or against the person you're becomingYou can't build a business or a life on a foundation of broken self-trustThese 22 days aren't about cramming—they're about rebuildingThe goals take care of themselves when you become someone who trusts themselvesJanuary 1st isn't a fresh start—you carry yourself into the new yearThanks for listening!

Can you believe we're in the final stretch of the year?The last month always feel complicated. There's excitement, but also exhaustion. Gratitude, but also overwhelm.And if you're anything like me, your evenings can start to look like this: Dinner. Maybe a glass of wine. A scroll through social media. One episode of something, okay maybe two, and then suddenly it's 10:30 and you're too tired to do anything meaningful before bed.Sound familiar?For years, that was me. I told myself I was unwinding. But in reality, I was numbing out, not recharging.And as I started reflecting on what it means to end the year strong, I realized: it's not just about what we do during the day. It's about how we spend our evenings.Because your evenings set the tone for your mornings. And your mornings set the tone for everything else.So today, I want to talk about how to reclaim your evenings, not just to rest, but to reconnect with yourself, so you can finish the year not drained, but deeply fulfilled
