What happens when your identity is stripped away? For speaker and youth minister Tim Jara, that question became the doorway to encountering Jesus in a life-changing way.After an injury ended his gymnastics career, Tim found himself searching for purpose and belonging. What began as a Confirmation retreat became the moment Christ transformed his life through Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, and the simple hospitality of youth ministers who saw him, welcomed him, and reminded him that he was loved.In this episode:Tim's powerful conversion story through a Confirmation retreatFinding identity after losing the thing that defined youWhy every teen needs to know they are seen and lovedParenting, ministry, and keeping Christ at the centerSocial media, authentic community, and helping young people flourishWhether you're a parent, youth minister, or simply someone longing to remember your first love for Christ, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that our true identity is found in being sons and daughters of God.  Support the show

What do you do with a relationship after a shocking truth comes out? If you're the betrayed partner making the therapy appointments, reading the books alone, and wondering whether the person across from you is actually changing — this episode is for you.What most people don't realize is that the day you found out wasn't the beginning of the problem. The patterns of behavior that led to betrayal started long before that moment. And the real question isn't just why did this happen and how do I fix it — it's how do you both heal from betrayal trauma, and how do you know whether your relationship can survive it?My guests are Brannon Patrick, LCSW, and Tyler Patrick, LMFT — brothers, licensed therapists, and hosts of the Therapy Brothers podcast. Between them they bring more than 40 years of experience in addiction and trauma work, and across more than 500 call-in episodes they've sat with real people in real time navigating betrayal, shame, and the long road back.In this episode we go deep on what your body needs in the immediate aftermath of discovery, why sobriety and real recovery are not the same thing, and the three specific signs Brannon and Tyler look for when assessing whether a relationship can genuinely be repaired.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the patterns behind betrayal started long before discovery — and what that changes about the repair processWhat to do when your whole system goes into shock and you can't think straightHow grounding, breathwork, and somatic healing help refill an emotional tank running on emptyWhy no major decision is worth making when you're at an eight out of ten — and what to do instead while you return to a fiveWhy the hurt partner often ends up overfunctioning — and how it quietly affects the relationship dynamicWhat shame resilience actually sounds like in a conversation, and why it's the skill that makes real honesty possibleHow to tell the difference between a partner doing the work for themselves versus performing it for youWhy rigorous honesty isn't the same as confessing every detail — and how anxiety can disguise itself as transparencyThe 3 signs Brannon and Tyler watch for when someone is genuinely in recoveryHow to be vulnerable in small ways when rebuilding trust after infidelity or betrayal still terrifies youWhether you're standing at the crossroads of betrayal or deep in the process of infidelity recovery, this conversation will give you a clearer lens — and a little more ground under your feet.Cheers to more love and freedom,LaurieClick here to learn more about my Somatic/Yoga course with Harmony YogaClick here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Brannon & Tyler:WebsiteInstagramYouTubeListen to Brannon and Tyler's weekly call-in show: The Therapy Brothers Podcast Please leave me feedback.

Most investors assume the key to building wealth is picking the right stock. Melissa Joy, CFP®, says the far more important decision is how you structure your portfolio in the first place, and how much risk you choose to take on. In this solo episode, Melissa breaks down asset allocation, the mix of cash, bonds and stocks that make up an investment portfolio, in plain language, without requiring a finance degree to follow along.Melissa walks through the fundamentals of stock and bond investing, explains the common shorthand investors use to describe their portfolios (like 60-40 or 80-20), and shares how she helps clients think through allocation decisions using broader, 15 to 20 percent notches rather than micromanaging every 5 percent. She also digs into the questions that matter most when setting your own mix: your time horizon, your investing psychology, your tax situation, and how you would actually feel if your portfolio dropped 20 to 30 percent for an extended period. The goal, she says, is not the perfect allocation. It is one that helps you stay invested through both difficult and exuberant markets.What You'll LearnWhat asset allocation actually means, and why it matters more than picking individual stocksThe differences between cash, bonds and stocks, and the pros and cons of eachHow to read portfolio shorthand like 60-40 or 80-20Why Melissa builds portfolios in 15 to 20 percent notches instead of fine-tuning by 5 percent incrementsHow time horizon, investing psychology and tax considerations shape the right mix for youWhy the first days of retirement can be the riskiest, and how allocation needs can shift over timeHow to check your current asset allocation and decide whether it needs adjustingThe previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.  No portion of the presentation serves as the receipt of, or as a substitute for, personalized investment advice from PEARL PLANNING or any other investment professional of your choosing.

Busy is not a badge of honour. It is a trap. And if you are reading this while doing three other things, this episode is specifically for you.In this episode, Margarita makes a full unapologetic case for laziness. Why the pressure on women to be endlessly productive is not ambition. It is performance. And it is running you into the ground.We talk about why your body is not a machine, why the 9 to 5 was literally built around male hormones and not yours, why productivity can become a sneaky way of avoiding yourself, and why the women who are actually winning are the ones who know when to stop.In this episode:Why a busy woman is not always a good womanWhy laziness and efficiency are a lot closer than you thinkWhy productivity can become a way of avoiding yourselfWhy your 28 day cycle means the 9 to 5 was never built for youWhy nature does not rush and neither should youWhy women carry two shifts and still get called lazyThe difference between performative busyness and productive ambitionWhy slower is not smaller and your ambition is yours to defineIf you have ever felt guilty for resting, constantly busy but not actually going anywhere, or like you are performing productivityrather than actually creating, this one is for you.

Jeremy Knauff spent nearly two decades building a successful marketing agency — until a severe health crisis nearly killed him and took the business down with it. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, the U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Spartan Media shares what it was like to lose everything, the autoimmune condition that brought him to the edge, and the moment a fellow Marine's suicide became the turning point that changed how he showed up in the world.Jeremy walks us through exactly how he rebuilt his authority from zero: writing his way onto top podcasts and into outlets like Forbes and Entrepreneur, then multiplying every feature into a network of content across social and video. We also dig into what "authority" means now that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are the ones vetting experts before a journalist — or a client — ever does, and why pay-to-play media features can quietly work against you.If you're rebuilding after a setback, or wondering how to be findable and credible in an AI-driven world, this episode is your roadmap.In this episode:How a health crisis and years of chronic pain nearly ended Jeremy's career — and his lifeThe fellow Marine's suicide that became his turning pointThe exact content strategy that took him from invisible to Forbes and EntrepreneurHow to turn one media feature into dozens of pieces of contentWhat "authority" means when AI tools are the ones evaluating youWhy fake/pay-to-play media features can hurt more than they helpThe mindset shift that keeps you moving when you want to quitConnect with Jeremy:https://spartanmedia.com/Connect with Sabine:https://sabinekvenberg.com/resources

What if trying to manifest love is the very thing keeping you from experiencing it?In this solo episode, Kate challenges the popular belief that you need to visualize, plan, and control your way into the perfect relationship. When the desire for love comes from fear, lack, or the belief that your life is incomplete, no person or relationship will ever feel like enough.Kate explores a new way of approaching love that begins with trusting life, returning to the present moment, and cultivating within yourself the feelings you have been waiting for someone else to provide. Instead of creating lists, searching for “the one,” or deciding how your love story should unfold, she invites you to let every connection reveal something deeper about who you are.When you stop treating love as a destination, you create space for relationships, experiences, and unexpected moments of connection to become part of your soul's unfolding.In This Episode We Explore:Why manifesting love from a place of lack creates more seekingHow trying to control your love story communicates a lack of trust in lifeWhy your ideal-partner list may prevent you from being present on a dateHow every relationship can serve a different purpose in your evolutionThe difference between following your soul and following conditioned desiresWhy love is much bigger than one romantic relationshipHow people and places activate different parts of who you areThe importance of focusing on your experience instead of someone else's experience of youWhy relationships are living, evolving experiences rather than destinationsHow cultivating the feelings you desire allows you to arrive in love already fulfilledYour purpose is not waiting somewhere outside of you, and neither is love. The more deeply you return to yourself, listen to your inner guidance, and follow what brings you alive, the more space you create for life to surprise you with something greater than you could have planned.Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

If you're a woman in your late 30s, 40s, or early 50s and you've been feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, or like a complete stranger in your own body… I need you to hear me right now. You are not broken. You are not going crazy. And you are definitely not "just getting old."Welcome to the era of metabolic intelligence! Today we are kicking off a two-part series that I genuinely believe is going to change lives. This is the exact information I wish someone had handed me five years ago when I was sitting in my car crying, wondering what the heck was happening to my body.In this episode, we are doing a deep dive into Perimenopause 101. We are breaking down the biological timeline of what is actually happening inside your body, the sneaky symptoms you're probably dismissing as just "life stress," and the four non-negotiable strategies you need to not just survive this transition—but actually thrive through it.Because here is the truth: The more we understand our bodies, the more control we have. And when you learn to work with your hormones instead of against them? Something magical comes out the other side. A whole new breed of a woman.

In this episode, Jen talks about one of the biggest shifts that changed her business: stopping the side-hustle energy, stepping out of overwhelmed employee mode, and fully embodying the CEO identity. She shares how so many business owners say they want more money, better clients, stronger boundaries, and less chaos — but they are still operating with the same habits, same mindset, and same self-concept that kept them stuck in the first place.Jen explains why identity always shows up in business. How you see yourself affects what you charge, what you tolerate, how you follow up, how you handle conflict, and how confidently you show up online and in your process. If you still identify as the people pleaser, the overworker, the unsure beginner, or the scared small business owner, that version of you will keep showing up everywhere.This episode is all about the shift from employee to CEO — from reacting to leading, from hoping to deciding, from external validation to internal certainty. Jen also talks about why the next-level version of you probably does less, not more, and why identity is built through repeated proof: one confident response, one boundary, one brave post, one better decision at a time.In this episode, Jen talks about:Why acting like your business is a side hustle keeps you stuckHow identity shows up in every part of your businessThe difference between employee energy and CEO energyWhy your next-level business requires a next-level version of youWhy stronger boundaries, clearer offers, and more intention matterWhy you do not need outside validation to feel successfulHow to stop romanticizing the old version of yourselfWhy asking “who do I need to become?” is more powerful than asking “what should I do?”How repeated actions build a new identity over timeHow the Floral CEO Mastermind helps florists become the next-level CEO in their businessKey takeawayYou cannot build a next-level business with old-level habits.The identity shift that changes everything is when you stop acting like the overwhelmed employee in your business and start acting like the intentional CEO.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind

Shawn Stevenson On The Science of Family Meals, Oxytocin, and LongevityYour dinner table might be the most overlooked biohack in your house.

You know that feeling when life starts closing in. Work. Family. Money. Relationships. Everything feels tight and suddenly your mind starts replaying every decision that got you here.In this conversation Rick talks about overwhelm, anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and the trap of staring backward when you need a way through.

Maybe you need a bigger question.What Rick explores in this episode:Why overwhelm can make your world feel smaller than it really isHow replaying old decisions can keep you trapped in the same roomWhy hard work is not always the same thing as the right workHow thinking bigger can change the way you see the problem in front of youWhy speed simplicity and a better question can create a way throughFollow Rick's Socials:Instagram | LinkedIn | RickJordan.TVKey Topics: overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, overthinking, decision fatigue, stress, mental health, productivity, personal growth, mindset shift, success mindset, high performance, leadership, problem solving, resilience, work stress, life pressure, emotional resilience, burnout recovery, stress relief, feeling stuck, how to stop overthinking, anxiety and success, overwhelmed at work, simplify your life, cognitive load, mental clarity, productivity mindset, entrepreneur stress, business pressure, think bigger, helicopter mindset, decision making, motivation, discipline, personal responsibility, rick jordan, frequency podcast

In this episode, Stephanie breaks down what B vitamins are really doing inside your body. They don't hand you energy; they're the crew that turns the food you're already eating into energy your body can burn. When they're depleted, you feel exhausted and your body gets bad at burning calories — the same problem wearing two faces. And in perimenopause and menopause, that crew gets depleted faster than you can replace it.You'll learn:Why B vitamins sit at the center of both energy and fat lossThe four jobs the B's run: converting food, making stress hormones, steadying blood sugar, and methylationWhy stress, alcohol, caffeine, low stomach acid, PPIs, metformin, and oral contraceptives quietly drain youWhy a “normal” B12 lab can hide a real deficiencyThe exact order to fix it — and why throwing a B-complex at the problem does nothing if you do it backwardsThis episode is educational and not a substitute for individual medical advice.

It isn't.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly.Every retailer I have ever worked with has quiet weeks — including the multi-billion businesses. The only real difference is that they have enough stores and enough channels for the inconsistency to smooth itself out. When it's just you, one shop, one website, a couple of marketplaces, there is nothing to smooth it out. So a slow Tuesday doesn't feel like a slow Tuesday. It feels like evidence. Evidence that people have stopped buying, that your marketing has stopped working, that you have somehow lost your touch.This is the single biggest confidence killer in independent retail, and it has almost nothing to do with your products. It's what happens when you run a business without a plan: a good week means you've cracked it, a bad week means it's all falling apart, and you spend the year strapped into an emotional rollercoaster you never bought a ticket for. Most retailers respond by either setting wildly optimistic goals with no route to hitting them, or quietly setting no goals at all because a missed target feels worse than no target. Neither works. And neither tells you what to actually do on the Monday after a bad week.In this episode I walk you through the four-step sales strategy I've used with hundreds of retailers to get out of that cycle for good. It won't make your quiet periods vanish — nothing will, and anyone selling you that is lying. What it will do is tell you which quiet periods were always going to be quiet, which ones actually need your attention, and precisely what to do about them. By the end you'll know how to set a number that feels exciting rather than terrifying, how to see the rhythm your business has been running to all along, and how to build the one document that means you never again stare at a bad week and think "maybe I'm just terrible at this." It takes about ninety minutes to build. Press play and I'll show you where to start.In this episode(00:00) Why your sales feel random — and why it isn't youWhy every retailer, from a one-woman shop to a billion-pound chain, has quiet days and busy days — and why only one of them feels it. The confidence cost of an unplanned year, and what a sales strategy honestly can and cannot fix.(01:57) Step 1 — Set a sales goal you'll actually aim atThe archery question that exposes how most retailers approach sales, why a target isn't there to make you feel bad, and the last-12-months-plus-run-rate calculation that gets you a realistic number in minutes rather than weeks.(05:05) Steps 2 & 3 — Monthly targets by channel, and your trading calendarBreaking a yearly number down by month and by channel, the hidden benefit that reveals the rhythm of your business (and why February is not a personal failing), then building the trading calendar that bridges your sales plan and your marketing — including what to do when a month has no reason for anyone to buy.(11:50) Step 4 — Track what matters, and why future you will thank youWhy the answer isn't another analytics tool, the four things worth tracking weekly, the four worth tracking monthly, and the one-line note that will save you an hour of confusion this time next year.Free download for this episodeGrab my free guide to creating a sales strategy for your business: resilientretailclub.com/strategyUseful linksFree sales strategy guide — https://www.resilientretailclub.com/strategyThe Resilient Retail Club — https://www.resilientretailclub.comAll podcast episodes — https://www.resilientretailclub.com/podcast/Connect with me on LinkedIn — https://uk.linkedin.com/in/catherineerdlyWatch on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwFwdhK_WMJvXntxKLZj83Inz1fFNAN2PNew episodes every Thursday.

And you weren't sure if you should run or sign.In this episode, Dr. Latifat finally gives her real, unfiltered opinion on whole life insurance, not from someone selling it, and not from a generic "term life only" platform. This is the nuanced truth that most women physicians never hear, broken down in a way that actually applies to your life.In this episode:Why the only people talking about whole life are usually the ones selling it The woman physician paying thousands every month in whole life — while living paycheck to paycheck Whole life as an investment vs. whole life as insurance The 5 specific situations where whole life insurance might actually make sense for youWhy the stock market will beat whole life's returns almost every time The tax-free cash value pitch and what you should be doing first before considering it Estate planning and whole life: who this actually applies to The real reason it gets pushed so hard on physicians What Dr. Latifat would rather pass on to her kids instead of $50 million"It's not whether something is good or bad. It's context. And most of the people pitching you whole life are not thinking about your context."Have questions about your own financial plan? That's exactly the kind of thing we work through inside the Wealth Village and 6 to 7. If you're tired of feeling like medicine is something you have to keep doing instead of something you get to choose, this workshop is for you.Join us to learn how busy women physicians are creating financial freedom, building real options, and designing lives they do not need to escape from without waiting for traditional retirement.

The Steps You Take can shape someone else's story more than you realize. Every act of kindness, every invitation, every moment of serving, and every step of faith has the potential to point someone toward the grace of Jesus.In this message from Ephesians 2:8–10, we discover that following Jesus isn't just about receiving God's grace—it's about living with purpose. You were created by God, uniquely gifted, and designed to make an eternal impact through the good works He prepared for you long before you were born.You'll discover:Why you're saved by grace—not by your own effortsWhat it means to be God's masterpieceHow God has prepared good works specifically for youWhy your small steps of obedience can have an eternal impactHow serving, inviting, and loving others reflects the heart of JesusEvery one of us is here today because someone else took a step. Someone invited us, encouraged us, prayed for us, served us, or simply showed us what following Jesus looks like. Now it's our opportunity to do the same for someone else.Whether your next step is inviting a friend to church, serving on a team, giving generously, or simply loving the people God has placed in your life, don't underestimate what God can do through your obedience. You may never fully know what hangs in the balance of the steps you take.

It's mid-July. You started the summer with good intentions. And somewhere between the cookouts, the vacations, the late nights, and the "just this once" moments that have been stacking up since Memorial Day - your routine quietly dissolved.You're not tracking. You're not hitting your protein. You're eating whatever is fastest because the day got away from you again. And you've been saying "I'll reset after this weekend" for six weeks.This isn't a discipline problem. This is what happens when you spend an entire season with no structure and no plan. And today I'm giving you three specific steps to refocus before August arrives and the whole summer is gone.You'll learn:Why mid-July is its own specific challenge - and why the "just this once" events that have been stacking since Memorial Day are not a moral failing, they're a predictable response to an unstructured seasonWhy avoiding the scale and the food log is quietly making everything worse - and what looking at the number actually does for your momentumHow to pick one anchor habit for the next two weeks that keeps you connected to your goals while summer swirls around youWhy the "what's for dinner" problem is the single most underestimated driver of off-rails eating in summer - and the exact fixThe 60-second AI trick I use to solve dinner before it becomes a crisis: the exact prompt to type into ChatGPT or Claude to get five high-protein, under-30-minute summer meals built around what you actually have in your kitchenWhy the women who arrive at Labor Day feeling strong are not the ones who were perfect all summer - they're the ones who noticed the slide in mid-July and did something about itIt is not too late to salvage the second half of your summer. Not even a little bit.Three things. That's all this takes. Let's do it.AI Prompt: "I need dinner ideas for this week. I want meals that are under 30 minutes, high in protein, and light enough for summer because I don't want to stand over a hot stove. I have chicken, shrimp, and ground turkey in my freezer. I need options that work for a busy woman who might be coming in from outdoor activities and needs something fast. Can you give me five ideas with a quick description of each?"Join us in Inspire Nutrition! Use the link here and code JULY30 and save $30 instantly! https://inspirehw.com/nutritionLegion Supplements.

In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with NCAA gymnast Abigayle Martin to talk about performing scared, overcoming mental blocks, trusting yourself under pressure, and finding what helps you compete with confidence. Abby shares how a mental block at 10 years old shaped the athlete she is today and why learning to work with fear, instead of waiting for it to disappear, changed everything.Abby opens up about competing at the highest levels of college gymnastics while still feeling nervous before routines. She explains why fear is a normal part of performance, how she developed her own mental routines, and why young athletes should never feel like they have to do things exactly the way everyone else does. We also talk about the importance of communicating with coaches, advocating for yourself, and learning what helps you perform your best.In this episode you will hear:Why it's okay to perform scaredHow mental blocks can become opportunities for growthThe importance of finding a mental routine that works for youWhy young athletes should learn to advocate for themselvesHow communication builds stronger relationships with coachesWhy brushing off a bad meet and moving forward mattersThis conversation is a powerful reminder that confidence isn't the absence of fear. It's learning to trust yourself, your preparation, and your ability to keep showing up. Young athletes don't need to feel fearless to succeed. They just need the tools to keep going, one routine at a time.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

What if success isn't found in chasing happiness—but in practicing the habits that bring you peace?In this episode of Road to Victory, I dive into the power of repetition, walking through difficult emotions, surrendering to God's purpose, and getting out of the way of the life you're meant to live. This conversation is about learning to stop fighting your calling and creating habits that keep you aligned when life feels out of sync.We discuss:Why peace is a better goal than temporary happinessThe daily habits that shape your identityWhy walking has become one of the greatest forms of therapy in my lifeHow to recognize when you're emotionally out of alignmentThe danger of looking for other people to fix what's happening inside of youWhy your calling can feel uncomfortable while it's making room for your next seasonThe difference between suffocating under pressure and growing through purposeTrusting God enough to surrender what you were never meant to carryThis episode is a reminder that the life God has for you isn't built in one extraordinary moment. It's built through ordinary disciplines practiced over and over again until they become who you are.Welcome to the Road to Victory.

Erin Smith spent six and a half years inside Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, before founding Driven Beyond Excellence. She's also married to a retired Navy SEAL, and together they run the Seal Leadership Challenge, an immersive experience that pressure tests leadership capacity through physical obstacles.In this episode, Erin and Jaime dig into why people wrongly believe a big transition means starting from zero. They walk through Erin's six laws of becoming: reflection, discernment, polarity, expansion, embodiment, and integrity. Erin shares the moment she almost turned down a public speaking class (and met her husband there instead), how she landed a TEDx talk with two days notice, and why avoidance, not pressure, is the real enemy of growth.What you'll learnWhy "starting over" is a myth in massive transitions, and what to look for insteadThe six laws of becoming: reflection, discernment, polarity, expansion, embodiment, integrityHow to tell the difference between discomfort worth pushing through and a situation you should leaveWhy lived experience builds confidence faster than intellectual understandingHow Erin turned fear of visibility into a TEDx talk and a pageant platformMemorable momentsThe "research weekend" journal exercise for tracking what triggers youWhy the boss who intimidates you might be revealing exactly what you need to developThe family at the Seal Leadership Challenge who called out their mom's self-talk in real timeHow saying yes to an earlier class date led Erin to her husbandAbout Erin SmithErin Smith is a sport psychologist and executive coach who accelerates the careers of high-performing female executives navigating male-dominated industries.

Is the Bay Area finally hitting its expected summer slowdown — and what does that actually mean for your next move?Spencer Hsu, a top 0.5% real estate agent in the U.S., digs into the July 2026 MLS data across San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties to find out if this summer is following the typical seasonal pattern — home prices easing back and new listings pulling back from their spring peak. After a red-hot spring that pushed the Bay Area median to an all-time high of $1.4M, the question every buyer and seller is asking is simple: is this a real cooldown, or just the normal summer rhythm this market sees every year?===

We start where we always seem to start lately — wandering through names, nicknames, and the strange cadence of how people get called what they get called — before Patrick pulls us back on track and asks the only question that matters: how much tolerance does anyone have for two guys talking about etymology for an hour?From there it opens up. Tolerance isn't just the human, get-along-with-people meaning we all reach for first. It's also a range — the amount of variance you're willing to accept before something stops working. Patrick brings the language of circus rigging, I bring the darts scene from Ted Lasso that shows up in my book, and somewhere in between we end up at Costco, minimalism, graduation dress shopping, and why "enough" is really just tolerance wearing a different shirt.Six Discussion PointsThe two meanings of tolerance — the "getting along with people" sense and the engineering "range you'll accept" sense — and the surprising place where they overlapPatrick's world of circus rigging: static load versus dynamic load, and why the right tolerance depends entirely on the act being performedThe Ted Lasso darts lesson from Productiveness — why accuracy beats perfection, and what "be curious, not judgmental" really teaches usHow "enough" is a form of tolerance, told through Patrick's wife and the great graduation dress hunt — a static need that suddenly turned dynamicCostco, the ketchup aisle, and Toffler's idea of "overchoice" — how narrowing your options lowers decision fatigue and quietly sets your tolerance for youWhy real tolerance demands patience and grace, and why it lives in the reasoned middle rather than at the purely logical or purely emotional extremesThree Connection PointsMy recent conversation with former WWE executive George BarriosPatrick Rhone's home base for everything he's up toUpdates on my forthcoming book ProductivenessWe didn't set out to make tolerance this expansive, but that's the fun of these conversations — they go where they go, and the topic ends up proving its own point. If there's one thing I want you to sit with after this one, it's that tolerance isn't about getting things perfect. It's about knowing your range, respecting that other people's ranges look nothing like yours, and giving yourself a little grace in the gap. Patrick and I will be back next month — possibly to talk about nuance, possibly not, because the whole point of nuance is that we might not get there.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

Are you still the reason your business can or cannot move forward?If every sale, client question, team decision, and backend process still runs through you, your business is not truly built to scale yet. It might be growing, but it is also depending on your daily energy, attention, and availability.In this episode, I share what breaking founder dependence actually looks like inside my coaching business and how I have built the business systems, documented processes, sales team, and client support that allow the company to keep running when I am not at my desk. I talk about the departments that support the business, the hires that helped remove me as the bottleneck, and why SOP creation matters before you start delegating more.In this episode, you'll discover:How to spot where founder dependence is still showing up in your businessWhat business systems actually look like behind the scenes of a growing coaching businessWhy documented processes make delegation, hiring, and training easierHow a sales team can help protect revenue so every sale does not depend on youWhy client success managers become essential as your client load growsWhat operations support can take off your plate so you can stay focused on the CEO roleHow to think about your next hire when you are still running a lean teamIf you are ready to stop holding every decision, every sale, and every client experience on your own, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what your business can look like when it is built to run without your constant presence.

Your prospects are checking you out long before they hit “book now.” What they see in those first few seconds can be the difference between a no-show and someone who walks in already convinced you're the right fit.Episode SummaryIn today's episode, you're pushed to look at your gym the way a stranger would: quick glance at the homepage, a few seconds on social, maybe a review or two, and that's it. The questions on their mind are simple but brutal: who are you, what do you offer, why should anyone care, and why pick you over the other options in a 5–10 mile radius or the app on their phone?You'll see how to make those answers obvious in your client-facing assets and then stack on pre-selling tools like simple guides, PDFs, and pre-appointment touchpoints that actually educate people before they ever sit down with you. The aim is a consult built on momentum of agreement, where your time is spent unpacking goals, desire, and urgency instead of burning minutes just explaining what your gym does.Key TakeawaysYou'll learn:How to evaluate your website “above the fold” so prospects instantly see who you are and what you offerThe four core questions every potential member is silently asking before they ever contact youWhy unclear positioning forces you to waste consult time explaining your gym instead of understanding the clientHow to use a simple SWOT-style review to understand your market position against local and virtual competitorsWhy AI tools are great for speed to lead and education, but can't replace the human element in closing salesPractical ideas for pre-selling assets like nutrition guides, travel workouts, or seasonal PDFs that build trustHow to create momentum of agreement so prospects arrive leaning yes instead of undecidedWays to turn a basic consult into a 12/10 experience with small touches that make people feel welcomed and valuedEpisode Chapters00:00 The questions in your prospect's head00:45 What pre-selling is and how it changes your sales process01:45 Zooming out to 30,000 feet: systems, people, automations, and client touchpoints04:37 Auditing your website and social: who are you and what do you offer?08:35 Why you vs competitors, local and virtual, and basic SWOT thinking12:27 Pre-selling assets, PDF guides, and using AI tools like Gamma14:30 Designing a “red carpet” consultation and 12/10 in-gym experienceResources MentionedGamma – App used to create PDF guides and visual resources (Gamma.app)Ladder app – Example of a virtual coaching competitor for gymsLasso Framework – Marketing and sales system for gyms: https://www.lassoframework.com/About the PodcastWelcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth.

Send us Fan MailI recorded this during my birthday week in June. I turned 53! So I want to talk about something that doesn't get said enough: the real fear of getting older isn't about wrinkles or gray hair. It's the fear that life gets smaller. That you stop doing the hard things, the brave things, the things that make you feel like you.In this episode, I'm challenging that story, not with a pep talk, but with evidence. My own evidence. And I'm inviting you to look at yours.In this episode:The cultural story most women have absorbed about life after 50 — and why it's working against youWhy pre-limiting yourself is the real danger (not aging itself)What Half Dome, backpacking Colorado, and solo travel to Portugal and Spain taught me about what's still possibleWhat actually gets better in body, mind, and spirit as you get olderThree reflection questions to help you rewrite the story you're telling yourself about this seasonResources & links:Episodes mentioned: Episode 115: Lessons Learned in the Colorado WildernessEpisode 117: Do it Scared - Lessons Learned from Climbing Half DomeWork with me — Private Coaching: www.kortneyrivard.comInstagram: @kortney.a.rivardIf this episode resonated, share it with a woman who needs this reminder.

What armor are you wearing that God never asked you to put on?In this video, we look at David and Goliath through a deeper lens — not as a motivational story about believing in yourself, but as a reminder that the battle belongs to the Lord.David did not defeat Goliath by pretending to be Saul. He did not win because Saul's armor made him impressive. He won because he trusted God's faithfulness and used what God had already trained him to use: a sling, a stone, and a history with God in private.Many Christian men are exhausted because they are carrying someone else's version of success, masculinity, leadership, responsibility, or purpose. It may look wise. It may even get applause. But if God never assigned it to you, it will eventually cost your peace.In this episode, we talk about:How to recognize “Saul's armor” in your lifeThe difference between wisdom and pressureWhy comparison can make you counterfeit your callingHow God uses hidden seasons to prepare youWhy your confidence must be in God, not your giftsHow to stop fighting for identity and start living from identityIf this hits you, comment: “Use the sling.”And tell me one piece of Saul's armor you know you need to take off in this season.If you are a Christian man carrying pressure, comparison, fear, false identity, or a battle you are tired of fighting alone, join the Better Than Best Brotherhood School community and apply for a complimentary Red Print Hot Seat.https://www.skool.com/better-than-best-academy-5909/aboutIt may be time to take off the armor that is not yours and use the sling God has already placed in your hands.#ChristianMen #DavidAndGoliath #IdentityInChrist #GodlyMen #biblicalmanhood 00:00 Heavy Armor Question01:18 God Not Self Help02:37 Imitation Versus Obedience05:39 My Saul Armor Story09:04 Discernment Before David10:38 David Private Faith12:26 Take Off The Armor14:52 Stop Despising Sling18:32 Surrendered Gifts Not Idols20:37 Jesus Greater Hero21:34 Three Reflection Questions22:20 Prayer And Next Steps23:21 Brotherhood Invitation24:06 Final EncouragementWHO AM IHey, I'm Red Wallace, a former rapper(10 year career) current drummer turned personal development coach.

"Your mom can be one of the people that you love the most in the world and that you feel the most connected to, and also one of the people that hurt you the most... I always used to be in this place where I'm like, 'Why does everyone love my mom so fucking much?' She drives me insane."This week I'm getting personal about the mother wound, not the framework, but my actual relationship with my own mom. Your mother can be someone you love deeply, someone everyone adores, someone who did everything she could for you, and still be the person who wounded you most. Both are true at the same time. And when the wounding is subtle, when your mom was "a good mom," it's actually so much harder to see, because part of you keeps insisting it must not be that.I share the boundary I had to set when I first started my business, the moment my mom finally didn't take my work personally, and the quieter pattern underneath it all: learning as a kid that support wasn't safe, that I had to handle everything alone. Have you ever wondered why your mom triggers you when she's genuinely a good person?, or Why you can't seem to receive support even when it's right there? I'm sure this episode will help you see things more clearly.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSHolding two truths at once: loving your mom and acknowledging she hurt youWhy a "good mom" wound is harder to see than obvious neglect or abuse"Don't make it about you" - Setting boundaries with my mom early in my businessThe validating moment my mom stopped taking the work personally"It always comes back to your mom" - recreating her, or the feeling of her, in your relationships and businessWhy crying about a fight isn't emotional processing... and what isFeeling an emotion through the lens of where it startedRiding the emotional wave to completion without suppressing or spinningLearning that support felt unsafe and how hyper-independence becomes a capHow unconscious coping mechanisms quietly drive your results**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**When you leave a review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts and send us a screenshot of it, we'll send you a $250 credit that you can apply to anything else in my world.Check out The Mother Wound series on my YouTube channelJoin me in The Metamorphosis which is my 3-month, groundbreaking, flagship program to rapidly and efficiently clear the familial and ancestral trauma that is blocking you from experiencing the wealth and freedom that you desire.Starting a business or working with clients?

In this episode, I reflect on one of the greatest privileges of hosting this podcast—listening to hundreds of women share their birth stories.Over the years I've heard stories of VBACs, HBACs, homebirths, hospital births, freebirths, long labours, fast labours, breech births, VBA2Cs, births that went to plan, and births that didn't. While every story is unique, there are some powerful themes that come up again and again.In this episode I explore:Why birth rarely follows the textbookWhat I've learned about women's intuitionHow your birth environment can influence your experienceWhy continuity of care matters so muchThe lasting impact of the words spoken during birthThe importance of having the right support around youWhy birth is just as emotional as it is physicalWhat makes a birth feel positive, regardless of how your baby is bornHow birth has the potential to be deeply healingWhy I believe women are far more capable than they've been led to believeThis episode is a reflection on the wisdom I've witnessed through hundreds of birth stories and a reminder that your experience matters.I'd love to know—what is the biggest lesson your own birth taught you?More from Ashley:Join us in: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The VBAC Village⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE VBAC Starter Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ashleylwinning⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ashleywinning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VBAC Homebirth Support ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Group here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ coffeeDisclaimer: The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

In another in-person episode, Axel sits down with Will Peck — multifamily broker at Horvath & Tremblay and one of the most active apartment building brokers in New Hampshire — for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of the New Hampshire multifamily market, what it actually takes to build a successful brokerage career from scratch, and what separates the buyers and sellers that brokers love working with from the ones that make deals fall apart.Will has been focused exclusively on New Hampshire multifamily since graduating college in 2018, building his book of business from cold calls and grand list research to becoming one of the go-to brokers in the state. This episode is essential listening for any investor buying or selling in New Hampshire — or any investor who wants to understand how to build a productive, long-term relationship with a commercial real estate broker.Join us as we dive into:The distinction between being a transactional broker and being a true advisor — and why Will regularly tells clients not to sellWhy New Hampshire continues to attract capital migrating from Massachusetts — and why Will sees demand growing even further over the next 12 monthsWhat makes a great seller: transparency from day one, accurate financials, and open communication throughout the transaction — because in today's market with only 2–3 strong buyers at the table, you can't afford to waste a bulletCreative deal solutions: the escrow agreement Will structured for a student housing deal with unleased units — how leaving money in escrow gave the buyer and lender comfort to close without delayWhat makes a great buyer: do what you say you're going to do, give specific and timely feedback, and share your underwriting assumptions so the broker can actually serve youWhy telling a broker "I'm looking for 8 caps" means almost nothing — and what you should be saying insteadThe two-way intel relationship: how sharing renovation costs and achieved rents with your broker builds the kind of market knowledge that eventually comes back to help you price, lease, and sell your own dealsConnect with Will Peck:Reach out to him on LinkedinCell: 207-712-6402Office: 603-218-1857Email: wpeck@htapartments.comAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Message me with comments or questionsYour brain is working against you — and perimenopause is why.When estrogen and progesterone start shifting, they don't just change your body. They rewire the way your brain handles mood, stress, cravings, and sleep — and that can pour gasoline on emotional eating.This isn't a willpower problem. It's biology.In this episode, I break down exactly what's happening inside your brain and body during perimenopause and menopause — so you can finally stop blaming yourself and start understanding what's actually driving the urge to eat.You'll learn:Why estrogen is a neuroactive hormone — and what happens to your mood and cravings when it dropsHow serotonin instability makes sugar feel like relief (it literally is, temporarily)Why your dopamine system gets blunted — and why your brain chases salty, sweet, high-fat foods to compensateThe cortisol-belly fat connection and why "menopause belly" shows up even when nothing else has changedHow your amygdala gets louder while your rational brain gets quieter — making emotional reactions harder to manageWhy ghrelin and leptin go haywire, leaving you hungry, unsatisfied, and chasing food that doesn't fill youWhy sleep is the linchpin — and what happens to hunger and cravings when sleep quality dropsAnd then we connect it all to what actually helps.I share why dieting harder in this season usually backfires — and what a moderate, compassionate approach looks like instead: protein at every meal, gentle movement, daily de-stressing, nervous system support, and learning your emotional eating patterns without shame.I also talk about finding a provider who truly understands menopause care and labs — and why that conversation (whether you choose HRT or not) can be a complete game changer.If this episode makes you feel seen, please subscribe, share it with a friend who needs the explanation, and leave a review — so more women can find the support they deserve.If you are interested in learning more about my new Breakthrough Menopause Coaching Program, join the waitlist and you will be the first to know all the details when it opens in August of 2026.

Are you doing all the right things to get clients, like networking, posting on social media, and asking for referrals, but your revenue is still inconsistent? The problem might not be your effort. It might be that your client acquisition strategy is fragmented, and the pieces aren't working together as a system.In this episode, Maggie Perotin breaks down her Client Acquisition Engine - the complete three-part framework she uses with her clients inside the Sustainable Scale System to help service-based business owners get clients consistently, without overworking themselves or burning out.You'll walk away knowing exactly what a complete client acquisition system looks like, where your gaps are, and what to fix first.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why treating marketing, nurturing, and sales as separate strategies is costing you clients and moneyThe 3 buckets of a complete Client Acquisition Engine and why most business owners are missing at least oneWhen to use organic marketing vs. paid marketing and why jumping to paid too early is a costly mistakeThe surprising statistic about how many of your leads are actually ready to buy right now (hint: it's not many, and what to do about the rest)Why email marketing is one of the most underutilized and most powerful tools in a service businessHow your sales process structure directly impacts your conversion rate, and what to change to close more clients with the same leadsThe real cost of not having a client acquisition engine, and how to calculate what your gaps are costing youWhy growing too fast without preparing your delivery side can hurt your brand, your clients, and your teamResources & Links Mentioned:

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you care too much but.... because you're carrying too much?In this final episode of The Power of a Soft Heart series, we explore a challenge many quiet leaders face: the tendency to take responsibility for things that were never ours to carry.Compassion is a gift. Caring deeply for others is a strength. But when caring turns into carrying, it can leave us emotionally depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves.Through personal reflection, Enneagram insight, and practical leadership wisdom, Jilann explores how thoughtful leaders can remain compassionate without taking on the weight of everyone else's problems, emotions, and outcomes.In this episode, you'll learn:The important difference between caring and carryingWhy compassionate people are especially vulnerable to emotional overloadHow the Enneagram's stance triads (Dutiful, Assertive, and Withdrawn) carry burdens differentlyHow to recognize responsibilities that don't actually belong to youWhy healthy boundaries help protect a soft heartHow quiet leaders can care deeply without becoming exhaustedIf you've ever felt responsible for fixing everyone's problems, managing everyone's emotions, or carrying the weight of outcomes you can't control, this episode offers a gentle invitation to set down what was never yours to hold.✨ Plus, sign up here for the Quiet Strength Gathering, a monthly community for thoughtful leaders who want to grow in self-awareness, connection, and authentic leadership.

Rick sits down with George Rivera to talk about the part of success most founders do not want to admit. You can build the business. Make the money. Still lose the room at home.In this conversation George Rivera, an entrepreneur who helped build a supplement company past $200 million in sales, talks about the deathbed sentence from his father that changed everything. “Don't miss Leo's games. I missed too many of yours.” That hit became the line he refused to cross.This episode gets into founder dependency, hero identity, delegation, buying back your time, and the silent drift that happens when your family stops expecting you to show up. Founder burnout and founder work life balance are still major conversations in 2026, especially around building companies that do not require constant founder collapse to survive.In this interview you'll learn:Why “I'll make it up later” is one of the most dangerous lies founders tell themselvesHow your business can train your family to stop counting on youWhy being needed can turn into a prison if you never let anyone else own the workHow George cut his hours down and still grew the companyWhy presence at home has to be built into the business before it is too lateFollow Rick's Socials:Instagram | LinkedIn | RickJordan.TVKeywords: founder burnout, founder dad, entrepreneur dad, work life balance, buy back your time, george rivera, rick jordan, frequency podcast, founder dependency, business bottleneck, hero identity, delegation, ai automation, founder prison, family drift, present father, dad guilt, entrepreneur burnout, business systems, time freedom, business owner mindset, leadership pressure, founder mental health, high performer burnout, family first business, scaling a company, business growth, entrepreneur habits, stop micromanaging, automate delegate eliminate, work less grow more, founder story, fatherhood, business and family, silent drift, make it up later, successful but absent, time audit

Being seen means being judged. In this episode, Alissa lays out why that's not a reason to stay small, and what it actually takes to let other people have an opinion of you without losing yourself in it.For HSPs, this isn't just a confidence issue. It's energetic. You feel it when someone misreads you, when a comment lands sideways, when the room shifts after you share something you're proud of. The instinct is to pull back, smooth it over, or shrink to keep the peace. Alissa pulls from her own experience, including a pointed DM from a stranger who made it clear she wasn't a fan, and from a client who just hit a major life milestone and immediately felt the weight of other people's reactions. In this episode, you'll learn:Why being judged is actually a sign you're doing something that mattersThe "zoomed out lens": how to observe someone's reaction without taking it on as your ownWhat it really means to allow someone the dignity of their own experience, including their jealousy or discomfort with your successPractical energy-clearing techniques for releasing what doesn't belong to youWhy dimming yourself to protect other people's feelings costs you more than it saves themUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

You wipe down the messy counter, step back, and enjoy that lovely feeling of having a clear space. Then somehow, almost without noticing, the papers, water bottles, chargers, receipts, and random bits and pieces start creeping back. If this sounds familiar, you're definitely not alone. The good news is that there may be more going on than simple clutter, and understanding it could completely change how you approach your home.In this episode, I'm talking about why the kitchen counter so often becomes the place where everything lands, from school papers and post to chargers, keys, water bottles, and all those little things you're afraid you might forget.And the thing about kitchen counter clutter is that it shows up when something in your home needs a clearer system. So instead of jumping straight into kitchen counter organization or trying to declutter the kitchen counter again and again, we're going to look at what the clutter is really pointing to.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your kitchen counter becomes a magnet for clutterWhat the things sitting there might be trying to tell youWhy paper clutter often builds up in this one spotHow delayed decisions can quietly turn into visual stressWhy buying another basket or tray may not be the real solutionSimple questions to help you work out what system is missingHow to keep kitchen counters clear by making small, practical changesA small five-minute decluttering challenge to help you see your counter differentlyJoin me as we uncover what your kitchen counter clutter might be trying to tell you and how a few small changes could help your home feel calmer, lighter, and easier to manage.Here's to clearer counters and calmer homes,CarolineThanks for listening!

She shares how her life experience has shaped her view of challenges.So even with the newest challenge life is giving her, to raise her daughter Blaine through a Type 1 diabetes and celiac diagnosis, she knows this discomfort is not something to escape but the exact thing that is building her confidence that she can handle the life she wants.In this episode, you'll learn:Why expanding your tolerance for discomfort is the foundation of feeling steady and unbothered in your daily lifeHow resilience shows up as curiosity about what a triggering moment is pointing toThe cost of living as the "effect" of everything around youWhy being an open-hearted, sensitive person in a non-sensitive world is something to own, not apologize forHow every trigger and insecurity that surfaces is an invitation to strengthen something within yourselfUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly continues the series “When Drinking Less Feels Hard” by looking at one of the most common places drinking less can feel difficult: social situations where alcohol feels like part of the fun and everyone else is drinking.This episode explores two powerful Alcohol Core Beliefs: alcohol makes things more fun and alcohol creates connection. These beliefs often show up around dinners out, parties, weekends, vacations, celebrations, and those moments when you had a plan—until you were surrounded by other people drinking.Molly explains why the challenge is not simply being in a bar, at a restaurant, at a party, or on vacation. The deeper issue is that your brain may have learned to associate alcohol with belonging, ease, confidence, playfulness, and connection. When that belief is running in the background, choosing to drink less can feel like choosing a lesser version of the experience.But alcohol is not the source of your humor, warmth, courage, or ability to connect. Those parts of you already exist.In this science-forward episode, Molly breaks down how alcohol expectancies, social cues, dopamine, reward prediction, and alcohol myopia can make drinking feel automatic in social settings. She also shares how to challenge the thoughts that make alcohol feel necessary and how to build new evidence that fun, connection, and belonging are still fully available when you drink less.You'll learn how to use the 4S process—See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift—to question the belief that alcohol makes everything better. Instead of relying on willpower in the moment, Molly encourages you to create a doable drink plan ahead of time, protect your awareness before alcohol narrows it, and practice proving to your brain that you can enjoy social situations without giving alcohol all the credit.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why social situations can make drinking less feel harder than drinking less at homeHow the beliefs “alcohol makes things more fun” and “alcohol creates connection” fuel desireWhy “everyone is drinking” can feel so powerful, even when you genuinely want to drink lessHow alcohol expectancies shape what you believe a drink will do for youWhy familiar cues like restaurants, vacations, Friday afternoons, and celebrations can trigger urgesWhat alcohol myopia is and why “I'll decide later” is often not a strong enough planHow to separate the facts of a social situation from the story your brain is tellingHow to use the 4S process to challenge old beliefs and practice new onesWhy alcohol may be present during fun and connection without being the cause of either oneKey Takeaway:Alcohol may be present during fun, connection, celebration, and belonging—but that does not mean alcohol created those things.When you stop giving alcohol full credit for the experience, you can begin reclaiming your own confidence, humor, warmth, playfulness, and ability to connect. Drinking less is not about having less fun. It is about learning that fun was never dependent on alcohol in the first place.Mentioned in This Episode:Mostly Dry July: The Daily begins July 1st.Join Molly for daily support, coaching, and practical tools to help you create a peaceful relationship with alcohol throughout the month of July.Learn more at: https://mollywatts.com/mostlydryjuly/Resources:Join the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook group for support, conversation, and real-life strategies for changing your drinking habits.Learn more about Molly's programs and resources at mollywatts.com.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Learn more hereYou built the thing. The salon, the clientele, the reputation. From the outside, you made it — and somewhere in the last few years, something got quiet. Not falling apart. Just… missing. You can't quite hear yourself anymore.Here's the thing nobody tells you about being the person everyone trusts to have it together: you hold so much. All day, every day. You stand behind the chair holding your clients' stories, their grief, their excitement, and you regulate the whole room. You're the calm one. The safe one. And then you go home so full of everyone else that you can't find yourself in there.That's not burnout from working too hard. That's exhaustion from consuming too much and listening to yourself too little. In this solo episode, Misty gets straight to the heart of it — the tiny gap between the should and the want that's been quietly wearing you down, and why the thing that helped you grow can become the thing that keeps you stuck.She also opens the doors to something she built because she couldn't find it anywhere else: the Industry Unplugged Retreat. A week in the jungles of Costa Rica with ten women in the hair industry who've been in the game for 10, 15, 20, 30+ years and are craving a real reset. Not a business retreat. Not a healing or spiritual retreat. Not a content trip. Think pre-internet vibes — space to take off the brand face, drop the self-induced pressure, and get quiet enough to hear yourself for the first time in who knows how long.In this episode:Why this kind of tired isn't burnout — and what it actually isThe gap between the “should” and the “want” that quietly drains youWhy it was never about the hair — it was always about the conversationsWhat it means to be in a room you're not leading or performing inWhat Industry Unplugged is (and very clearly, what it's not)How to tell if that voice in your gut saying “I need this” is worth listening tohairstylist burnout, personal development for hairstylists, hairstylist retreat, salon owner burnout, hairstylist mindset podcast, behind the chair mental health, Costa Rica retreat for hairstylists, hair industry community

In this episode we'll talk about:Why the decisions that carry the most fear are usually the most alignedHow your future self has already resolved what your current self is still debatingWhy the fear isn't confusion — it's the weight of knowing what's next and not feeling ready for itThe difference between fear that warns you and fear that confirms youWhy most people stay stuck not because they don't know what to do but because they know exactly what to do and it terrifies themWhat shifts when you start making decisions from the person you're becoming instead of the person you've beenAnd more… CONNECT WITH ME…→ Instagram — @mattgottesman→ My Substack — mattgottesman.substack.com → Apparel — thenicheisyou.comRESOURCES…→ Recommended Book List — CLICK HERE→ Masterclass — CLICK HEREWORKSHOPS + MASTERCLASS:→ Need MORE clarity? - Here's the FREE… 6 Days to Clarity Workshop - clarity for your time, energy, money, creativity, work & play→ Write, Design, Build: Content Creator Studio & OS - Growing the niche of you, your audience, reach, voice, passion & incomeOTHER RELATED EPISODES:Faith Isn't Knowing the Whole Path… It's Taking the Next Honest StepApple: https://apple.co/3MB62IuSpotify: https://bit.ly/4rZw3RN
