Welcome to Season 6, Episode 3! Our guest today is the amazing author V.T. Bidania. She is of Hmong descent and was born in Laos and grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. A prolific author with over 20 titles published already, her latest work is the very personal fictionalized memoir A Year Without Home which details her family's escape from Laos after the end of the Secret War in Laos and the Vietnam War. A Year Without Home was released on January 13, 2026 and published by Nancy Paulsen Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers. It's her debut middle grade novel and written in a unique style with lyrical verse. Told through the eyes of eleven-year-old Gao Sheng, Bidania does an amazing job of immersing the reader into the joys of what it was like to live in Laos as well as the challenges and horrors of fleeing as refugees. Her previous works are the Astrid and Apollo series and the new spin-off Extraordinary Eliana series. Both uplift Hmong culture in a joyous informative way. In our conversation, V.T. shares her journey to writing, the challenges of researching for A Year Without Home, how she decided to lay things out in the book, why the book is even more important now than ever, and a lot more. To learn more about V.T. Bidania and the Hmong culture, you can visit her website vtbidania.com, follow her on Instagram @vtbidania, and of course purchase    or any book int he Astrid and Apollo or Extraordinary Eliana series.

As we closed the previous year reflection is everywhere, but for many of us it quickly turns into self judgment. If you've been replaying what you didn't do, wondering why you're not further along, or feeling like you somehow fell short last year then this episode is for you.   In this conversation we explore a new way to look back, one that doesn't involve beating yourself up or rewriting your worth based on outcomes. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.   This episode is for you if you're feeling behind, stuck, or disappointed with how the year unfolded. If you tend to be your own harshest critic during reflection. If you want to grow, but not at the cost of your mental or emotional health and if you're craving a softer, more honest way to close this chapter.   Let's reflect on the year with honesty and kindness.   xoxo,    Jeannet    Work with Jeannet:   Apply for one on one private coaching: https://forms.gle/bwoTL8HCUDPmM1LY8 Get my FREE workbook to help you identify the skills you can monetize with an online business: https://www.jeannetsacks.com/monetizeskills Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.

January motivation is loud—but it's also fleeting. In this episode, Ruth breaks down why most people burn out by February and what actually creates lasting change instead. This isn't about more discipline or willpower. It's about building the right habits—habits that support your life instead of draining it.Ruth shares the foundational habits she's used to lose 49 pounds, build multiple successful businesses, and stay consistent through changing seasons—without crashing and burning every January.What You'll Learn:Why habits that rely on willpower are destined to failThe difference between project-based goals and habit-based goalsThe one habit Ruth says she'd keep forever—and why it changes everythingHow weekly planning protects your time, energy, and prioritiesWhy urgent tasks always crowd out important ones (unless you intervene)How habit stacking makes consistency easier—not harderWhich habits should be non-negotiable vs. flexible by seasonHow to build habits that support your life instead of adding pressureKey Quotes:"Habits aren't meant to require willpower—they're meant to replace it""You don't need to change everything at once to change your life""Weekly planning is where intention replaces reaction""Consistency comes from structure, not motivation""The goal isn't perfection—it's progress you can sustain"----------10 Day Sugar Detox - https://www.getthinlicious.com/10daysugardetoxThin Adapted System - https://thinlicious.com/programDaily Sales Incubator - https://www.rsbcourses.com/dsiApply to Powerhouse - https://www.rsbcourses.com/applynowFind Us: Website: ruthsoukup.comInstagram: @ruthsoukup

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl sits down with John King of California Dream for All to uncover how consistent YouTube content became a reliable source of business without chasing viral status. John walks through his early years of dormant video output, the shift to intentional content, and the moment he started seeing real production from his videos. You'll hear why focusing on a specific avatar and carving out niche channels helped YouTube's algorithm work in his favor, how longer-form videos outperformed flashy short clips, and how video fits into a diversified business model without replacing core referral and database strategies. John also breaks down how he integrates weekly content into his agent outreach, what metrics matter (and which don't), and why persistence beats perfection when building an audience that converts. If you want a grounded, real-world approach to using video and YouTube to grow your mortgage business sustainably, this episode delivers actionable insights beyond the hype.

The start of a new year feels like the perfect time to reset and refocus. This often takes the form of New Year's resolutions. There is a great power in making a clear statement about what you want and why you want it. The problem is (and I'm sure you have experienced this yourself), simply making a resolution does not guarantee success. That's why the first Friday of January is often referred to as Quitter's Day because it is when most people ditch their resolutions. Making the decision for a fresh start is not the problem. Thinking a resolution is enough is the problem. To achieve positive change in the new year we need a structure that supports our growth and clears any emotional resistance in the way of our goals. This week in the podcast I share a simple process that will shift you from toothless New Year's resolutions into creating meaningful change. Listen to learn how to create a compelling goal that you can buy into emotionally AND a simple process to help you to tap for all the resistance that comes up. Ten minutes of tapping a day will create a whole new world for you. Support the podcast!

Earth's history has seen some truly bizarre natural disasters. Take the Tunguska event in 1908, for example, where a massive explosion flattened 800 square miles of Siberian forest, likely caused by a meteor airburst. Then, there was a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora, which led to global cooling, crop failures, and food shortages. There were more weird disasters in the history of our planet that could be called weird - let's learn more about them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As a new year begins, leaders are often faced with uncertainty, change, and challenges that cannot be solved with a predetermined plan. In this episode of The Leader's Journey Podcast, Trisha Taylor welcomes Megan Mills for a thoughtful and practical conversation about improvisation and its surprising relevance to leadership and everyday life. Together, they explore how the principles of improv such as trust, listening, shared agreements, and adaptability offer a powerful framework for navigating complexity, collaborating well, and showing up fully when the path forward is unclear. Megan Mills is originally from Waukegan, IL (north of Chicago), went to Hope College in Holland, MI and shortly after graduation, moved to New York City. Her early years in NYC were spent in stage management and personal assistant roles as well as performing, creating, teaching and directing improvisational theatre. Now daily life includes driving her son back and forth to numerous games and practices throughout Queens, NY and the tri-state area. Megan has a passion for organization, The Container Store, and Chicago Cubs. She has also been an advocate, public speaker, and volunteer for the American Heart and Stroke Association for the past 20+ years. Conversation Overview Beginning the year without a script Improv as a tool for adaptive leadership The importance of shared agreements and trust "Yes, and" as a mindset for collaboration Listening, presence, and patience in real time Supporting others instead of competing Improv games as practice for real life skills Applying improv principles to teams and leadership Creating safety and inclusion for all voices Meeting uncertainty with openness and curiosity Resources and References Mentioned Megan Mills at The Leader's Journey Truth in Comedy by Del Close and Charna Halpern Harvard Business Review - Three Improv Exercises That Can Change the Way Your Team Works TED Talks on improv, adaptability, and leadership Improv exercises including Three Headed Expert and listening games

Planning with livestock isn't about filling a calendar—it's about working with seasons, weather, animals, and real life. In this episode, I'm sharing what's happening on our ranch right now, how we plan a full livestock year, and why I've stopped trying to force rigid schedules that don't fit the reality of ranch life. I walk through our annual rhythm with goats, cattle, fencing, meat sales, and family life, breaking down what each season typically holds and how those rhythms shape our planning decisions. From winter breeding and paperwork to spring kidding prep, summer grazing and county fair, and fall weaning and breeding plans, this episode gives you a realistic look at how a working ranch year actually unfolds. We also talk about what's changing for us in 2026—adjustments in breeding decisions, pasture and seeding experiments, a major perimeter fence project, and shifts in meat sales and time commitments. I share why flexibility has become a priority, how over-scheduling creates frustration, and what it looks like to plan with wider margins instead of tighter timelines. If you've ever felt behind because your plans didn't survive weather, animals, kids, or life in general, this episode is here to give you permission to plan differently. Seasonal planning isn't less disciplined—it's more honest. And for many of us, it's the only way to stay steady long-term. In This Episode, I Cover: What's happening on the ranch right now and how weather affects daily decisions How we plan a livestock year around seasons instead of rigid schedules A realistic walkthrough of our ranch year, from breeding to weaning What's changing for us in 2026 and why flexibility matters How infrastructure projects reduce labor and stress long-term Why overplanning creates frustration—and what we're doing instead Key Takeaways: Livestock planning works best when it follows seasons, not calendars Weather, animals, and family life will always change the plan Rigid timelines often increase stress instead of progress Planning with margin creates steadiness and resilience Seasonal rhythms support long-term stewardship and sustainability Related Episodes: 02 | Overwhelmed? 4 Steps to Create a Practical Plan for Adding Livestock to Your Homestead Successfully 06 | What Livestock Should I Get First?

Send us a textThe start of a new year often comes with pressure: new goals, new systems, new ideas, and a long list of things people think they should be doing. But more often than not, that approach creates chaos instead of clarity.In this episode, we talk about how to kick off a new year in your business without overcomplicating it. We break down why adding more isn't usually the answer, why pausing to assess matters more than rushing forward, and how clarity, simplicity, and focus create real momentum.We also discuss education, leadership, systems, and why so many businesses stay stuck repeating the same problems year after year. From writing things down instead of keeping them in your head, to choosing one problem to solve instead of ten, this episode is about building a stronger foundation before you try to build anything new.If you're entering the year feeling motivated but overwhelmed, this conversation will help you slow down, refocus, and move forward with intention, one step at a time.Key TakeawaysThe new year doesn't require more ideas — it requires clarity.Education, leadership, and systems should serve the people they impact.Simplicity is harder than complexity — and far more effective.Keeping things “in your head” guarantees confusion for your team.Written systems reduce repeated questions and owner burnout.Solving one problem well is better than touching ten problems poorly.Real change takes time, testing, and patience.Promises to your team only matter if they're delivered.Busy work creates noise; focused work creates progress.You don't need a full reset — you need a clear next step.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + first episode of 2026 01:00 — New year pressure and doing too much too fast 02:00 — Jen's opening take: education should serve others, not ego 04:00 — Todd's opening take: simplicity beats overwhelm in education 06:00 — Why “dazzling” people doesn't equal teaching 08:00 — Foundations matter more than advanced techniques 09:30 — Adding more vs assessing what already exists 11:00 — Getting ideas out of your head and onto paper 12:30 — Mission statements, SOPs, and clarity for teams 14:30 — Why teams get confused when systems aren't written 16:30 — Staff asking peers instead of owners (and why it happens) 18:00 — Choosing one problem to solve first 19:30 — Why slow progress is still progress 21:00 — How long real change actually takes 23:00 — What Hello Hair focused on last year 25:00 — Promises vs delivery and owner accountability 27:00 — Reordering priorities as the year unfolds 29:00 — Noise, trends, and low-impact decisions 31:00 — Why busy doesn't mean productive 33:00 — What actually grows a business 34:30 — One system, one number, one relationship 36:00 — Final thoughts: simplify, focus, and move intentionallyLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Happy New Year Friends, You know that moment when you walk through your house and think, I can't keep living like this. You decide the new year will be different. You'll finally deal with the clutter. And then life happens. This isn't a failure. It's life. In this episode, we talk about why decluttering hasn't worked in the past. Clutter isn't a motivation problem. It's a nervous system problem. When your nervous system is overloaded, avoidance makes sense. Your body is protecting you from more demand—including your home. We cover: Why short-term decluttering plans fail How stress and shame keep people stuck Why consistency comes from safety, not pressure How regulating your nervous system makes letting go easier We also do a short guided practice to help you pause, breathe, and take one small action without spiraling. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing this differently. If you want support doing this consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at https://declutteryourchaos.com/ If this episode helped you, please leave a review or share it with someone who needs it. Here's to a calmer, more supported 2026!

Chris Johns breaks down how his team buys 200 homes a year while refusing to play the usual wholesaling games. He explains why they never renegotiate sellers, how a seller-first culture actually scales better, and how omnichannel marketing - from direct mail to TV - fuels consistent deal flow. Chris also shares how they're using AI for rehab scopes, design decisions, and buyer confidence, plus why most investors should either commit to real scale or rethink rentals altogether. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:53 - Chris Johns' Business1:34 - What He Did Before They Did Direct To Seller4:37 - Using Different Forms Of Marketing6:04 - Why He Stopped Doing Turnkey10:12 - The Best Way To Get A Return On Your Portfolio13:25 - Using AI In His Business18:21 - What Happened In 2025 & Refusing To Renegotiate23:04 - Doing Novations26:39 - His Biggest Lesson From 202528:09 - Their Company Values30:10 - Why He Left Healthcare For Real Estate32:52 - Sales Tips & Letting People Go37:54 - What To Look For In An Acquisitions Manager40:01 - Who He's Learned The Most From43:06 - A Product That Changed His Life44:41 - Extra Questions From Moustafa47:57 - Outro LINKS:Email: Chris JohnsChris@SBDHousing.com  Website: SBD Housinghttps://www.sbdhousing.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Astrologer and poet Heidi Rose Robbins returns for an in-depth, practical forecast of 2026's "fresh start" astrology. Together with host Deborah Kagan, she breaks down the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries, the Uranus re-entry into Gemini, Jupiter's shift from Cancer to Leo, and a potent, transitional eclipse year. Expect clear guidance on timing, strategy, and how to align your creativity, intuition, and leadership with the year's accelerations—without burning out. If you use astrology as a "cosmic weather report," this episode delivers the map, the gear list, and the optimal routes.   What you'll learn: ✨ Why Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries (Feb 20) is a "once in 9,000 years" reset—and how to build a real plan for a brand-new dream ✨ How a disruptive, Uranus-charged eclipse week (Feb 17–20) detonates stuck patterns and sets a revolutionary tone ✨ Why Uranus in Gemini (re-enters Apr 25) supercharges AI, communication, and speed—and how to pivot without whiplash ✨ How a multi-year Pluto–Uranus trine quietly accelerates collective reform through 2028 (think 60s-level change, but harmonized) ✨ The exact tension point when Jupiter enters Leo (Jun 29) and opposes Pluto (Jul 20): courageous heart-led leadership vs. ego theatrics ✨ How Chiron's move into Taurus spotlights money, values, and self-worth—and why rest becomes a non-negotiable healer ✨ Why all three Mercury retrogrades in water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) in 2026 amplify intuition and emotional repair ✨How the mixed-axis eclipse year (Aquarius/Leo and Pisces/Virgo) signals a threshold from visionary reinvention to embodied service  

Healing from covert narcissistic abuse doesn't follow a calendar—and January doesn't require clarity, decisions, or resolutions. If you're entering the new year feeling foggy, heavy, or unsure, this episode is for you. Instead of pushing urgency, motivation, or “fresh starts,” this conversation offers something survivors of covert narcissism actually need: orientation, safety, and permission to go slowly. In this New Year's Day episode, we explore why January can feel more like an aftermath than a beginning, especially if you're still in the relationship, newly out, or years removed but still impacted. We talk about what covert narcissistic abuse does to your nervous system, why information alone isn't enough, and how healing often shows up quietly—not dramatically. This episode also introduces how the podcast will function as a guided path this year, with grounding Sunday episodes and more connective Thursday conversations, including community chats. In this episode, we cover: Why January pressure can be harmful for survivors How covert narcissism disrupts self-trust and internal orientation Why healing doesn't require decisions or urgency Signs of healing that are often overlooked What to expect from the podcast moving forward How community and shared language support recovery You are not behind. You are not doing this wrong. And you don't have to decide anything yet.

Entering a new year without our child bring heavy emotions for bereaved parents. The turning of the calendar can feel like we are leaving our child behind, especially if this is the first new year since their death. Even years later, the weight of time passing can still take our breath away. In this episode, Laura pulls up a recording from the archives, inviting listeners to hear from several experienced bereaved parents (pareavors) who have walked through anywhere from six to over thirty new years, without their child. Each guest shares their thoughts and suggestions about how to soften the pain of this difficult transition of entering a new year without our child.   You may find that one or more of these voices speaks directly to your heart as you step into this new year.

This episode is a pause.Before you rush into the next year…Before you label this season a failure…Before you disqualify yourself because things didn't go as planned…I need you to hear this clearly:You're not done.In this deeply personal episode of Mind Bully, I reflect on the past year — a year marked by grief, loss, unanswered prayers, unmet goals, and quiet growth no one else could see. I talk openly about losing my sister, losing my grandmother, setting goals I didn't “achieve,” and wrestling with the voice that tries to tell you it's over.But I also expose the lie hiding underneath that voice.Because what looks like delay…What feels like failure…What sounds like defeat…Might actually be foundation.Why labeling this year as a “failure” can cripple your futureHow grief and growth can exist at the same timeThe difference between outcome goals and identity formationWhy spiritual warfare often targets your mind before your momentumWhat to do when everything in you wants to retreatHow God may have used you this year in ways you didn't noticeWhy your “unfinished” goals don't mean you're unfinishedI also share a real, unexpected moment of divine timing — a reminder that your obedience, consistency, and quiet faith are impacting people you may never see.If you're ending this year tired…Disappointed…Confused…Or questioning yourself…This episode is for you.Don't rush past what this season was building in you.You're not done — because God's not done.

Dan and Brian approach the end of 2025 pondering what makes a "movie year" -- how to measure and rank it, what they've watched on the podcast, and what eras of film history they've under- and overrepresented. Then, they fill an important hole in their podcast's lineup with a look at two 1974 Christmas movies at very different ends of the spectrum: a family stop-motion TV special and a terrifying proto-slasher. Join as they discuss the their competing feelings towards the Rankin-Bass holiday shorts, their histories with and feelings towards Santa Claus mythology, the thinking face emoji, chilling phone calls coming from inside the house, and the role of "female empowerment" themes in both selections. Yes, Virginia, there is a 1974 film. Dan's movie reviews: http://thegoodsreviews.com/ Subscribe, join the Discord, and find us on Letterboxd: http://thegoodsfilmpodcast.com/

Hey!This month I'm sharing a “Best of 2025” series, with repeats of some of the most loved episodes from this year that are particularly relevant around the Christmas / New Year period! Please enjoy these episodes. I'm taking the first half of Jan off, so new episodes will return in the second half of January.A heads up on some 2026 changes that you'll see come the new year: → The podcast is moving to audio-only! Video will appear exclusively on my main channel, http://www.youtube.com/muchelleb.

In honor of the spooky season, we present two monstrous origin stories --Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula. We know when these books were written in the 19th century. But what inspired the imaginations of the rebellious teenager Mary Shelley, or the beleaguered theatrical promoter Bram Stoker? I talk with biographer Charlotte Gordon and Professors Gillen D'Arcy Wood and Ron Broglio about how “The Year Without a Summer” may have sparked storms in Mary Shelley's mind. And I talk with UC Davis professor Louis Warren about why he believes an American entertainer was the unlikely model for Count Dracula. Featuring readings by Lily Dorment and John Keating.
