What happens when the business you built no longer feels like the business you want to run?In this Sacred Business Calibration, Kelle Sparta coaches a spiritual entrepreneur through the tension between burnout recovery, business positioning, pricing, target markets, and the pressure to keep doing what once worked—even when it no longer feels aligned.The conversation explores a challenge many experienced practitioners eventually face: your business may still function on paper, but internally, you've outgrown it.Kelle explains why selling a $997 group program requires a very different message than selling a $5,000 private engagement, why you need one primary offer and one primary market, and why trying to speak to everyone at once weakens your positioning.They also discuss the difference between following trends and leading from alignment, the dangers of applying generic entrepreneurial advice to spiritual businesses, and how burnout can become a signal that your business model, audience, or message needs to evolve.Kelle shares her own experience of reaching the point where she had said everything she wanted to say to the seeker market, losing momentum, and eventually restructuring her work around professional spiritual practitioners. Instead of discarding years of content, she reorganized existing material, added new elements, and created a business model that restored her energy and enthusiasm.For coaches, healers, facilitators, and spiritual entrepreneurs who feel trapped by a business they've outgrown, this episode offers a practical framework for recognizing misalignment and making a strategic pivot without throwing away everything you've already built.What You'll LearnWhy a $997 offer and a $5,000 offer require different positioningHow to choose a primary offer and target marketWhy trying to sell multiple offers simultaneously can dilute your messageThe “one thing, one market, one lead magnet, one platform” business principleWhy burnout can cause business momentum to declineHow generic entrepreneurial advice can misalign spiritual businessesThe difference between following trends and evolving with your own alignmentWhy practitioners can become trapped in “golden handcuffs” inside their own businessesHow to recognize when your business is running youWhy a meaningful business pivot may take roughly 90 daysHow to restructure existing content instead of starting from zeroWhy spiritual entrepreneurs need business strategies designed for their industryReferences MentionedSpiritual Business BurnoutBusiness PivotingOffer PositioningTarget MarketGroup CoachingPrivate CoachingTaki MooreLead MagnetsLinkedInFacebookInstagramTikTokSpiritual EntrepreneurshipEmbodimentSomatic WorkBurnout RecoveryBusiness AlignmentConscious BusinessSpiritual Awakening1998 Spiritual Awakening2016 Awakening2020 Pandemic AwakeningProfessional Spiritual Practitioner ProgramResources MentionedKelle Spartahttps://kellesparta.comSpirit Guides Schoolhttps://learn.kellesparta.com

If you look in the mirror and your hair is out of place, you don't hesitate to fix it. You don't spiral into "my life is over and I'm not meant for success." You just adjust it. But when we look in the mirror of life, we don't apply that same radical responsibility and simplicity.In this episode I'm talking about why everything we see on the outside is a reflection of what's going on inside, how to take radical responsibility for what you're seeing without making it dense and heavy, and why the stories you're attaching to your results are the thing interfering with your simplicity. This is about looking in the mirror of life and adjusting what needs adjusting — no drama, no story.Key Takeaways:If your hair is out of place, you fix it — no story, no drama, no spiralEverything you see in the mirror of life is a reflection of what's inside youWhy we don't apply the same radical responsibility to life that we do to our physical appearanceThe sticky client situations I had this year (and how I asked: where is this my own reflection?)No avoidance, no projecting, no deflecting — just ownership and responsibilityThe prompt: look in the mirror of life and see what it's presenting you so you can go deeperScaling to multiple 6-figures?

You don't get extra credit for suffering.There is a difference between discomfort that should be endured and suffering that deserves treatment. In this final episode of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex brings the entire series together by tackling some of the most confusing—and heavily marketed—parts of menopause. Hormone therapy. Testosterone. Sleep. Sexual health. Peptides. GLP-1 medications. Expensive hormone panels. “Bioidentical” treatments. Optimization culture.The goal isn't to tell every woman what treatment she needs. It's to help you become a more informed participant in your own healthcare, ask better questions, and recognize when faithful stewardship means doing the hard thing—and when it means getting help.In this episode, Coach Alex discusses:Why menopausal hormone therapy is neither the devil nor the saviorWhat current evidence says about estrogen and menopausal symptomsWhy route, dose, medical history, and individual risk matterWhy many women probably don't need expensive hormone panelsWhat “bioidentical hormones” actually meansThe limited but legitimate role of testosterone therapyWhy painful sex should not simply be accepted as part of agingSleep disruption, hot flashes, insomnia, and sleep apneaMood changes during perimenopause and menopauseWhat to know before jumping into peptide therapyGLP-1 medications and the importance of preserving muscleHow to evaluate the next supplement, hormone, device, injection, or wellness trend somebody tries to sell youWhy health data should serve your life—not become your lifeWhen it's time to stop managing symptoms alone and talk with a qualified healthcare professionalOne of the central questions of the episode is simple: What problem am I actually trying to solve?Before adding another supplement, test, medication, protocol, wearable, or optimization strategy, get clear about the problem first. And through all four episodes of Menopause in the Light, remember:Your body is changing.You are not broken.Train it.Nourish it.Get help when help is warranted.And never confuse your physical health with your worth. As Coach Alex closes the series: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”There may still be decades of serving, leading, mentoring, traveling, building, teaching, loving, training, praying, giving, and becoming ahead of you.Your Next Faithful Step--If this series helped you understand menopause better but left you wondering:“What do I personally need to work on first?”Start with the Faithful Fitness Assessment.The assessment evaluates your health and stewardship through four Faithful Fitness anchors:Integrity • Grit • Growth • AweYou'll receive a personalized report identifying strengths, gaps, and areas that may deserve your attention next.And your $7.99 assessment also includes your seat in the next live Faithful Fitness workshop with Coach Alex, where you can better understand your results, ask questions, and identify your next faithful step.Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentBecause you probably don't need more random information.You need enough clarity about your situation to make a wise decision about what comes next.Train Hard.

Most mainstream tax advice runs on autopilot, and the autopilot assumes you're married with kids, funding a 529, and leaving an inheritance behind. When none of that describes your life, following it can cost you a fortune. Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® and Scott Barnes, CFP®, TPCP®, CLTC start from a blunter premise: the tax code is built to reward having children, so Childfree people are never going to get those breaks, and the smarter move is to design your own. The throughline is the opposite of chasing a lower bill this year. It's using taxes as one more tool to fund the life you actually want, paying the IRS what's owed without leaving a tip, and knowing when the strategy some influencer swears by simply doesn't fit a life without kids.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why the tax system is intentionally pronatalist, how that shapes everything from the child tax credit to head-of-household status, and why designing your own tax breaks matters when the built-in ones were never meant for youWhy the popular "become a landlord for passive income" advice often breaks down for Childfree people once you factor in the lost step-up in basis, and how a charitable remainder unitrust can turn an appreciated property into lifetime income plus a charitable benefitHow to think through the pre-tax versus Roth 401(k) decision, why your tax bracket, your state's income tax, your student loans, and any dream of moving abroad all change the answerWhy the Roth conversion and backdoor Roth strategies the financial press pushes every November are so easy to get wrong, and when the paperwork simply isn't worth itWhy paying zero tax in a given year is not always the win it looks like, how donor-advised funds let you time your giving for maximum benefit, and why coordinating a CFP® professional and a CPA protects you over a lifetime rather than a single AprilResources Mentioned in this Episode:Early Retirement Tax Planning with Cody Garrett, CFP®, Ep 166: : https://childfreeinsights.com/resources/podcast/episode-166Get Dr. Jay's book "The Childfree Guide to Life and Money" here: https://childfreewealth.com/childfree-guide/Learn more about Childfree Wealth:  www.childfreewealth.comLearn more about Childfree Trust: https://www.childfreetrust.com Episode Hosts:Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® is the Founder of Childfree Wealth®, a life and financial planning firm dedicated to helping Childfree and permanently Childless people, and Childfree Trust®, the first of its kind next of kin representation service for Childfree people.

What happens when you keep getting signs that something is no longer meant for you, but you're too afraid to make the change?In this heartfelt and deeply relatable episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with Christine Marcario, an intuitive spiritual teacher, Reiki Master, and host of the Aligned and Abundant podcast, to talk about life pivots, trusting your inner knowing, and what happens when you keep ignoring the signs.Christine shares her journey from spending 19 years as a middle school teacher to eventually stepping into spirituality, mediumship, coaching, and podcasting. Through burnout, career changes, unexpected job losses, and doors repeatedly closing, she began to recognize that spirit was guiding her toward something completely different.Together, they explore why we sometimes choose safety and familiarity over what our soul is asking for, how spirit can make the message louder when we aren't listening, and why painful experiences can ultimately become powerful redirections.From trusting your intuition and paying attention to dreams to creating more space for yourself and learning not to carry the weight of the entire world, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.✨ What You'll Discover:Christine's journey from teaching to spiritual workWhy burnout can be a sign that you're ready for a new chapterHow choosing safety can keep you stuck in what no longer serves youWhy spirit may keep sending you signs until you listenHow unexpected endings can become powerful redirectionsWhy difficult experiences can still hold valuable lessonsHow Christine discovered her gifts in mediumship and intuitive workWhy dreams can become a doorway for spiritual messagesThe importance of creating space to hear your inner knowingHow to stop carrying things that aren't yours to carryWhy self-trust is essential when making major life changesHow asking "What isn't working?" can help create clarityWhy you don't need to know exactly what comes next✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, Kelsey, Lynnsey, and Christine pull an oracle card and a rune for the collective, exploring themes of healing, heart-opening, clarity, success, and what comes after the storm.

Leadership comes with expectations. Be steady. Be available. Support your people. Make the difficult decisions. Carry the pressure.But what happens when the person everyone looks to for support needs support too?In this episode of Leaning Into Leadership, Darrin sits down with organizational psychologist, former therapist, and author Melissa Doman for an honest and practical conversation about leadership mental health, communication, emotional intelligence, and what sustainable leadership actually looks like.Melissa challenges the idea that leaders should simply absorb the pressure that comes with the role. Instead, she argues that organizations need to humanize leaders and give them permission to communicate their needs, acknowledge their capacity, and access the same resources they are expected to provide for everyone else.Darrin and Melissa explore the popular idea that “leaders eat last” and why servant leadership can become unhealthy when leaders interpret service as sacrificing themselves for everyone around them. Sustainable leadership requires leaders to care for others and manage their own emotional and cognitive capacity.The conversation gets incredibly practical as Melissa introduces the idea of communicating capacity — being able to tell your team honestly where you are and what you can realistically handle. If you're operating at 30 or 40 percent on a particular day, your team doesn't need you to pretend you're at 100. They need clarity about what they can expect from you.Darrin and Melissa also discuss:Why emotional intelligence, communication, and constructive conflict should be considered core professional developmentWhy policies and procedures aren't enough if people haven't learned how to communicate effectivelyThe danger of practicing servant leadership to your own detrimentHow leaders can give team members permission to speak up when something seems differentWhy curiosity is more productive than immediately judging a leader's behaviorHow to communicate your capacity without using it as an excuse for poor performanceThe difference between mission-critical priorities and manufactured emergenciesStephen Covey's circles of control, influence, and concernCreating personal mental well-being non-negotiables that actually work for youWhy leadership peer-support networks should exist inside organizationsThe importance of leaders modeling the use of the resources they encourage their employees to useWhy leadership can become incredibly lonely — and why leaders need other leaders who understand what it means to “sit in the chair”Melissa also shares insights from her book Cornered Office: Why We Need to Talk About Leadership Mental Health, along with the upcoming Wiley re-release of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work: Here's Why (and How to Do It Really Well).And because this is Leaning Into Leadership, the conversation somehow also includes salsa dancing, inflatable Velociraptors, ABBA…and the first-ever Chewbacca impression in podcast history. Well, at least in this podcast's history.About Melissa DomanMelissa Doman is an organizational psychologist, former therapist, author, speaker, and consultant who teaches organizations, leaders, and employees the practical skills needed to talk about mental health, communication, and team dynamics at work. Her clients range from global organizations to professional sports teams, mid-sized companies, and small businesses around the world.Her latest book, Cornered Office: Why We Need to Talk About Leadership Mental Health, explores the often-overlooked emotional and cognitive realities of leadership and challenges organizations to include leaders in conversations and systems designed to support workplace mental health.Connect with MelissaWebsite: melissadoman.comLinkedIn: Melissa DomanInstagram: @thewanderingmelMentioned in This EpisodeCornered Office: Why We Need to Talk About Leadership Mental Health (link)Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work: Here's Why (and How to Do It Really Well) — re-releasing from Wiley on September 29, 2026.This Episode Is Sponsored by HeyTutorHeyTutor partners with schools and districts to provide high-impact, in-person tutoring in literacy and math, giving students targeted support alongside the work of classroom teachers.Learn more about how HeyTutor can support student learning in your school or district at HeyTutor.com.

THIS Is How God Will Break the Narcissist's Hold on YouWhy is it so hard to walk away, even when you clearly see the manipulation? The answer may have less to do with willpower and more to do with what God is restoring within you.In this episode, we explore the story of Samson and Delilah to reveal how toxic control takes hold over time—and the three ways God breaks that hold through exposure, revealing unhealthy patterns, and rebuilding what was compromised. You'll discover why freedom isn't just about leaving the relationship, but about restoring your clarity, identity, boundaries, and discernment so the cycle no longer has anything to attach to.If you've ever wondered why you keep getting pulled back into the same toxic dynamic, this episode will help you understand what God is doing to lead you into lasting freedom.Watch next:

Why are personal values important for men over 40?Personal values are the principles that define what matters most to you and help guide your decisions, priorities, relationships, health, and behavior. After 40, clearly defining your values becomes increasingly important because your time feels more finite, your responsibilities change, your parents age, your body changes, and you begin thinking more seriously about how you want to live the years ahead.The key is understanding that values aren't simply what you say is important. Your behavior provides the evidence.What You'll LearnWhat personal values actually are and why every man should define hisWhy your values become your internal compass when life gets complicatedThe difference between claiming a value and living a valueWhy your behavior is the real evidence of what matters to youHow losing my father forced me to think differently about possessions, character, and legacyWhy family, service, and responsibility made my decision to move in with my mother clearWhy health should become one of your core values after 40How your food, workouts, mobility, sleep, recovery, medical care, and stress management reveal whether health really matters to youWhy taking care of your health is also an act of service to your familyHow to choose your five core personal valuesHow to identify the gap between the values you claim and the life you're actually livingWhy closing that gap can help you live with greater integrityTimestamps00:00 - Define Your Personal Values00:30 - Going Through My Parents' Home After Losing Dad01:10 - What Happens to Everything We Accumulate?01:45 - The Things Your Family Can Never Put in a Box02:14 - What Are Personal Values?02:45 - Do Your Actions Match What You Say Matters?03:15 - Why Family Made My Decision to Serve My Mother Clear03:45 - Your Values Become Your Internal Compass04:19 - Why Health Should Be One of Your Core Values05:00 - Does Your Lifestyle Prove Your Health Matters?05:48 - Why Values Matter More After 40, 50 and 6006:20 - How Do You Want to Live the Years You Have Left?06:45 - Choose Your Five Core Values07:15 - How to Test Whether You're Actually Living Your Values07:39 - The Over 40 Alpha Action08:15 - The 30 Day Values Test08:45 - Close the Gap Between What You Say and How You Live09:47 - Your Actions Make Your Values Real10:15 - Final Thoughts and Over 40 Alpha

The beginning of a school year brings an energy that is hard to match. The building is ready, staff members are reconnecting, priorities have been established, and leaders walk into the year determined to lead with clarity and intentionality.Then the students arrive.Suddenly the emails pile up, meetings fill the calendar, parent concerns emerge, staffing challenges demand attention, and the urgent begins competing with what you said mattered most.In this special midweek episode of Leaning Into Leadership, Dr. Darrin Peppard challenges school leaders to recognize five common leadership traps that can quietly derail their best intentions during the opening weeks of school.Darrin explores why presence is different from simply being visible, how the Cycle of Chaos can allow urgency to rewrite your priorities, and why communicating something once doesn't mean people understand it. He also challenges leaders to stop solving every problem themselves and to recognize the important difference between giving someone grace and simply avoiding a necessary conversation.The five leadership traps:Retreating to your office once students arriveLetting urgency rewrite your prioritiesAssuming everyone understood the opening-day messageTrying to solve every problem personallyWaiting too long to address something you already know isn't rightAt the center of the episode is one question every school leader should consider as the year gets underway:Is the leader you're becoming in September the same leader you intended to be at the beginning of August?You probably won't lose your school year in the first few weeks. But you can establish habits during those weeks that you'll spend the rest of the year trying to undo.Be intentional now. Protect what matters. And go have a Road to Awesome year.In This EpisodeWhy presence matters more than performative visibilityHow the urgent can quietly replace your real leadership prioritiesWhy your calendar tells the truth about what you valueThe difference between communicating a message and creating clarityHow solving every problem can actually weaken the people around youWhy servant leadership is about empowerment, not doing everything for othersThe difference between grace and avoidanceWhy addressing small issues early protects the culture you're trying to createHow to recognize leadership drift before it becomes your new normalKey Takeaways“You can't recognize what you never see.”“Your calendar is going to tell the truth about your priorities long before your mission statement ever will.”“Don't confuse delivering a message with creating clarity.”“Don't just solve problems. Build problem-solvers.”“What we tolerate teaches a lesson.”“Clarity early is almost always easier than making corrections later.”This Episode Is Sponsored by HeyTutorHeyTutor partners with schools and districts to provide high-impact, in-person tutoring in literacy and math, giving students targeted support alongside the work of classroom teachers.Learn more about how HeyTutor can support student learning in your school or district at HeyTutor.com.

What do you do when you find yourself in the pit?In this reflection on Psalm 30, John Ortberg explores one of the Bible's most powerful metaphors for suffering: the pit, the depths, the darkness, Sheol.Sometimes the pit is grief.Sometimes it's depression, failure, anxiety, physical pain, a broken relationship, a dream that has died, or something completely beyond our control.And sometimes the night lasts much longer than we ever imagined.John shares personally about a season when the pain didn't go away the next day...or the next. One thought became especially important:It will not always be this way.That doesn't mean circumstances will immediately improve. It doesn't even mean things can't get worse. It means that even in the darkness, God can still be found.Psalm 30 says, “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”We don't know how long the night will last.But the night doesn't get the last word.In this episode:Psalm 30 and the biblical image of "the pit"What to do when suffering overwhelms youWhy "joy comes in the morning" isn't a formula or timelineFinding God in darknessPsalm 139 and finding God in SheolHow to keep going when circumstances don't improveWhy we can't lift ourselves out of every pitMourning and dancing existing togetherHope when the night feels endlessScriptures:Psalm 30 • Psalm 139:8 • Genesis 37 • Jeremiah 38 • Daniel 6 • Revelation 21:4#Psalm30 #JohnOrtberg #Psalms #Suffering #Hope #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Grief

Do you find yourself trying to fix your kids' hard feelings, keep the peace, or make everything okay?What if deeper connection with your kids actually starts with learning how to connect with yourself?In today's episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori talks with Diane Sorensen, certified Transformational Coach and host of the Chaos to Connection podcast, about breaking generational patterns, understanding our emotional triggers, and creating stronger relationships with our children.Diane shares how her daughter's mental health crisis and her own divorce forced her to look at patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and approval-seeking that she had unknowingly carried into motherhood.Together, Lori and Diane discuss:Why connection with your children starts with connection to yourselfHow to recognize your emotional triggers—and what they can teach youWhy trying to keep everyone happy can actually hurt connectionThe difference between feeling an emotion and knowing how to be with an emotionHow perfectionism and “good girl” conditioning can show up in motherhoodWhy your child's emotions are not yours to manageHow to be okay when your kids are not okayWhy connection isn't about spending more time or money on your kidsHow to listen to your children without immediately fixing, reframing, or teachingA simple practice you can use today to start building more emotional awareness and connectionOne of Diane's most powerful reminders?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Your kid has been to a program. Maybe two. Maybe four. Each one handed back a diagnosis list a little longer than the last, and none of it ever explained why nothing is sticking.My guest uses a comparison in this one that stopped me cold. If your child had stomach pain, no surgeon would just open them up and look around. They would scan first. And yet with our kids we tend to go straight to treatment, treatment, treatment, without asking who this person actually is underneath the substance use. He calls it treating the problem inside the person instead of the person with the problem, and once you hear it you cannot unhear it.Dr. Graham Husick is a clinical psychologist in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the director of clinical assessment at the Lakeside Independence Program, which works with severe and complex mental health cases. Part of his job is reading the evaluations other people wrote about kids like ours, and he can tell you precisely what keeps getting left out of them.We get into why he includes IQ testing in every evaluation, what your child's preferred substance choice tells him that they could never say out loud, and why he will usually steer a family toward paying out of pocket rather than running a psych eval through insurance. He also names something I had never heard put into words: why a kid who is finally doing well will sometimes walk straight back into the thing that nearly took them out. I did not have any of this intelligence when my son was in it, and I have thought about that a lot since.If your child has cycled through program after program and you still cannot answer the question "but what is actually going on with them," start here.YOU'LL LEARN:Why Dr. Husick recommends not testing in active addiction, and the window he actually wantsWhat a diagnosis list eight items long tells you, and what it can never tell youWhy he includes IQ testing every time, even when nobody asked for itWhat the substance your child reaches for most says about what they may be needingThe recommendation he sometimes has to put in writing that parents least want to readEPISODE RESOURCES:Dr. Husick's websiteLakeside Independence Program websiteThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

When your body begins changing during perimenopause and menopause, the fitness industry's answer is usually predictable:Eat less.Cut the carbs.Skip breakfast.Fast longer.Do more cardio.But what if eating less isn't actually the strategy your body needs?In Part 3 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex Van Houten turns to nutrition—and challenges the idea that midlife health is simply about making the number on the scale smaller.Menopause changes physiology, but it doesn't erase physiology. Energy balance still matters. But so do muscle mass, protein intake, sleep, training, insulin sensitivity, food quality, recovery, and the hormonal changes influencing where and how your body stores fat.The goal isn't just weight loss.The goal is to build and maintain a woman who is strong, capable, metabolically healthy, resilient, well-nourished, and ready to serve.In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down:Why dramatically cutting calories can backfire during menopauseThe difference between weight loss and improving body compositionWhy protein becomes increasingly important as women ageA practical strategy for getting enough protein throughout the dayWhy carbohydrates aren't the enemyThe difference between food and fuelHow whole, nutrient-dense foods can simplify your nutritionFiber, calcium, vitamin D, healthy fats, and bone healthIntermittent fasting and when it may—or may not—serve youWhy breakfast can be a powerful opportunity for better nutritionAlcohol, sleep, and taking an honest inventory of your habitsCreatine and supplements during menopauseIron considerations during perimenopauseWhy you should be skeptical of products promising to “balance your hormones”How husbands and families can support women without becoming the “food police”A biblical perspective on food, gratitude, self-control, and stewardshipCoach Alex also offers a simple framework for building meals:Start with protein. Add plants. Add fuel according to your activity. Pay attention to your fats.Nothing exotic. Nothing magical.Just a repeatable strategy that can still work next year.As 1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us: “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.”Food isn't God.Food isn't the enemy. It's provision—and something we are called to receive with gratitude and steward with wisdom.TAKE THE NEXT STEPIf you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and know it's time to make a change, Coach Alex wants to help you identify where you are now and what deserves your attention first.Go to: faithfulfitness.co/menopauseComplete the Faithful Fitness Assessment and claim your seat for the upcoming live seminar.You'll learn how to take your current starting point and build a practical plan for getting meaningful results over the next 30 days—without miracle supplements, crash diets, or internet gimmicks.Take the assessment and reserve your seat: faithfulfitness.co/menopauseNext week: Menopause in the Light, Part 4 — hormone replacement therapy, sleep, sexual health, supplements, peptides, medical care, and how to know when it's time to ask for more help.Train hard.

Change is hard, even when it's good for you. In this episode of Conversations for Couples, family therapist Julie Bulitt and divorce attorney David Bulitt turn the microphone on their own marriage to unpack why some people crave change while others dread it, and how that mismatch plays out in everyday decisions big and small.The conversation starts with something small (getting a second dog) and opens into something bigger: how couples navigate change when one partner wants it and the other doesn't. Julie admits she is change averse and prefers predictability, while David describes himself as more adaptable. They trace how that difference showed up when David fell for a rescue puppy named Archie (originally named Crusher), how Julie eventually came around, and what that process revealed about compromise in a long marriage.Julie and David widen the lens to talk about change that gets imposed on a relationship, like a shift in finances that forces a couple to cut back, and why that kind of forced change can hit even harder than change someone chooses for themselves. They also talk about why so many people stay stuck in unhappy situations simply because the unknown feels scarier than the familiar.What You'll Learn:Why some people are naturally more resistant to change than othersHow unspoken assumptions about stability and comfort can create friction in a relationshipThe difference between change you choose and change that gets imposed on youWhy acknowledging what's triggering about a change matters more than trying to "meet in the middle"How Julie and David worked through a real disagreement over adopting their puppy, Archie.Learn more about the Bulitts and their work at thebulitts.com, or connect with them on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn @TheBulitts.Julie Bulitt is a licensed clinical social worker and family therapist.

You've healed your childhood wounds. You've done the work on your romantic relationship. You can spot a red flag in a man from three streets away.But have you ever sat down and actually looked at your friendships the same way?In this episode I'm joined by my friend and dating and relationship coach Amy Rushworth, and we go somewhere the internet basically never goes. Not dating. Not men. Female friendship. The wounds, the patterns, the heartbreak that can be just as brutal as anything a man's ever put us through.Amy's spent years helping women heal their romantic patterns, but she's honest about the fact that the next level of the video game for her was her friendships with women. And once she said that out loud to me, I knew this conversation had to happen.We get into why we'll pour endless energy into fixing our love life and completely ignore the same wounds showing up with our girlfriends. Why being the reliable one, the low maintenance one, the one who always initiates, is quietly costing you. And why decentring men might be the single best thing you can do for your friendships.What we cover:Amy's origin story, from an absolute shit show of a dating life to ten years happily married, and why healing her romantic wounds just uncovered a new layer with womenTaking personal responsibility without turning it into self blame, and why looking in the mirror is always the more empowering moveThe overgiver pattern, why it feels like a gift and quietly comes from a wound, and how it trains people to expect nothing back from youWhy relationships with women can be just as savagely traumatising as romantic onesBeing a self centred woman (not selfish, self centred) and why decentring your man is one of the healthiest things you can do for your marriage, your friendships, and yourselfFriendship red flags to watch for, and the green flags that actually matterWhy the ability to receive is just as important as the ability to give, and how hard that can be for an overgiverAmy's advice for the woman thinking "where the fuck did all my friends go"A few of my favourite moments:"Relationships with women can be just as savagely traumatising as romantic relationships."Amy's take on overgiving as a way to stay in control, so you never have to depend on anyone elseThe reminder that friendship is a goal like any other, and sometimes you just have to be brave enough to ask someone to be your friendIf this episode stirred something up for you, I want to know.

David Fishman spent eight years in the Coast Guard, started on a temp desk, and launched Sparrow Company in 2009 when the alternative was going broke. Thirty years into the business, his desk regularly produces $1.5 million a year, his longest client relationship has lasted three decades, and he recently ran a streak where ten straight presentations turned into ten placements. First candidate presented, first candidate hired, ten times in a row. In this conversation, David breaks down how he built all of it without a college degree and why the chip on his shoulder became his biggest advantage. He shares the intake questions that shape every search, explains why he reads a resume like a photograph, and reveals how patience let him win back clients he lost three or four times by simply outliving the tenure of the HR leaders who cut him. He also unpacks why he stopped tracking dollars and started tracking deals, how the wave cycles of recruiting punish anyone who gets comfortable, and why the first three days of your week decide whether you have any momentum left by the next Monday. You will also hear how David expanded into the temp business by recruiting his own business partner, what it means to have his son and daughter working inside the company, and why at 58 he still wakes up feeling like something is chasing him.

What if building a successful business isn't only about having the right strategy—but also about understanding who you are, how you naturally operate, and who you are becoming? Recorded at the iconic New York Café in Budapest and released for the 8/8 Lionsgate Portal, this special conversation brings together two different—but deeply connected—approaches to entrepreneurship. Burcu Onaranel Erten, International Speaker, Branding & Business Growth Strategist, joins Kübra Özgüvenç, Sustainable Income Coach and founder of Unison Temple, to explore what happens when branding, business strategy, nervous system awareness, alignment, and self-discovery come together. Because every business has a brand. And every business has a nervous system. Are you building yours in alignment with who you actually are? In This Episode We explore: • Why knowing who you are is the foundation of a sustainable personal brand • The connection between your identity, nervous system, and business decisions • Why strategy without alignment can lead to burnout—and alignment without structure can become an "expensive hobby" • How Burcu's A.U.T.H.E.N.T.I.C.ity™ Code begins with Alignment • Using your birth chart as a tool for self-discovery • Finding a speaking, content, and visibility strategy that works for YOU • Why you don't need thousands of followers to build a profitable business • Why quality over quantity matters when building authority • How to create a brand and business model you can actually sustain Burcu brings the strategy, positioning, branding, authority, and roadmap. Kübra brings alignment, nervous system awareness, astrology, and understanding your individual nature. Together, we ask: How do you build a business that not only makes money—but also works for the person running it? ✨ Our Message for This 8/8 You don't need to do everything or be everywhere. And you definitely don't need to build your business exactly like somebody else built theirs. Know who you are.Release what no longer belongs to you.Embody who you are becoming.Build the right structure.Create your own roadmap.And allow your business—and your next version—to grow in alignment with you.

"Faith Is Powered By Love"Minister Ibrahim closes out this leg of the series with a piercing question: what will you actually do with the love of God? Not the version that just gets you to heaven — the version that fuels how you live right now.In this episode, he unpacks why confidence, healing, and the courage to take a leap of faith all trace back to one source: knowing you're loved. He speaks honestly about the seasons when God's love doesn't make sense — the silence, the wilderness, the tests — and reframes them not as abandonment but as invitations into deeper dependence on God. Because in God's economy, maturity isn't independence. It's total reliance.If you've ever wondered where your strength is supposed to come from when everything else runs out, this is your Love Note.In this episode:Why the love of God is "for life, not just to be alive"The connection between love, faith, and taking bold actionHow testing reveals (not creates) what's already in youWhy spiritual maturity looks like dependence, not self-sufficiencyLearning to position your heart to receive God's help

3 Offers Every Online Coach Needs in BusinessYou built the program. You put it online. Nobody bought it. And the first thing you reached for was the price. In this solo episode Beverley breaks down the million dollar offer stack, the three offers every online coach needs in order to generate consistent, predictable, sustainable revenue without trading more hours for money. She walks through the premium signature offer, the accessible $9 to $97 front-end offers (including the order bump and the one-time offer), and the conversation starters almost nobody builds. Then she lays out the seven components that make any offer irresistible at any price point, including the pricing power circle that will break your business under volume if you get it wrong. This is the follow-up to last week's episode on why every online coach needs a low-ticket lead system.What You'll Discover:Why "too expensive" is almost never the real reason your program isn't sellingHow to price and position your premium signature offer between $497 and $3,000Why the point of a $9 to $97 offer is a list of customers, not a paydayThe three pieces of the accessible tier: front-end offer, order bump, and one-time offerHow to build an order bump that enhances the offer instead of feeling like a bait and switchWhat a conversation starter is and why gating a freebie behind a real conversation raises consumptionThe seven components of an irresistible offer: promise, process, price, urgency, scarcity, risk reversal, and the context of youWhy price is determined by results, reputation, delivery conditions, and capacity — not your hourly rateTimestamps00:00 — Is there a better way to make money online without trading time?00:26 — Welcome, and who Beverley is01:56 — Simple Scaling workshop and what this episode covers03:11 — The mistake: one offer, then blame the price03:44 — Offer 1: your premium signature offer05:14 — How a broken offer stack created 120K in debt06:26 — Pricing the premium offer: $497 to $3,00007:36 — Offer 2: accessible offers, $9 to $9709:09 — Why low ticket is about building a list of customers09:40 — The 8 to 14 touchpoints and 7 hours of consumption research10:23 — Emotional investment and why freebies never get consumed11:38 — Inner urgency vs fake deadline urgency14:31 — The three accessible offers explained15:10 — Building an order bump that isn't a bait and switch16:05 — The one-time offer (OTO)17:08 — Offer 3: conversation starters19:13 — Beverley's five-minute customized profit plan20:00 — "But that's not scalable"22:01 — The seven components of an irresistible offer22:36 — Component 1: the promise26:48 — Component 2: the process30:24 — Component 3: the price32:02 — The pricing power circle: results, reputation, conditions, capacity36:52 — How value is actually determined38:26 — Do it yourself, done with you, done for you40:30 — Component 4: urgency41:01 — Component 5: scarcity42:18 — Component 6: risk reversal42:49 — Component 7: the context of you43:59 — Bringing the whole stack together44:17 — The implementation hub inside PT Profit Formula46:29 — Live demo: Ask Beverley Anything49:19 — AI doesn't replace you, it amplifies you50:19 — Where to go nextResources MentionedSimple Scaling live workshop — how Beverley turns $9 into 50K a month: https://ptprofitformula.com/simplescalingPT Profit Formula + the Implementation Hub — the offer lab and Ask Beverley Anything: https://ptprofitformula.comLoom — for recorded customized responses: https://www.loom.comZoom — for triage calls and recorded responses: https://zoom.usGoogle Docs — for delivering written customized plans: https://docs.google.comClaude Artifacts — for building conversation starter deliverables fast: https://claude.aiLast week's episode — why every online coach needs a low-ticket lead systemGoogle research on buyer touchpoints — 8 to 14 touchpoints and roughly 7 hours of consumption before a buying decisionBeverley's separate episode on pricing your products and servicesReferenced as scarcity examples: Labubu, NeeDoh, AppleNext StepIf you want the whole million dollar offer stack built with you rather than explained at you, the PT Profit Accelerator is where that work happens.

How do you know if he's actually the right man for you—not just a man you have incredible chemistry with?Most women have been taught how to attract a man, keep his interest, and figure out whether he likes them. But very few of us were ever taught how to evaluate whether we should choose him.In this episode of The Playbook, Amanda Carroll teaches The Choose Well Play: a practical framework for evaluating whether the man you're dating actually has what it takes to build a healthy, committed relationship with you.We're talking about the four things that become more important—not less—with time: character, emotional stability, compatibility, and partnership capacity. You'll learn why chemistry is information, not evidence; why his résumé isn't his character; why dating a man's potential can cost you years; and the one question Amanda wants you to start asking after every date.And if you've quietly stopped dating because you're exhausted by the apps, afraid of choosing wrong again, or starting to believe there simply aren't any good men left, this conversation is especially for you.You don't have to blindly trust your picker.You need a process you can trust while you rebuild trust in yourself.And if you want your love life to look different by the holidays, don't wait until November to start. Starting now gives you the time to meet men, gather evidence, walk away from the wrong ones, and allow the right relationship to develop without rushing it.IN THIS EPISODEYou'll learn:The difference between being chosen and choosing wellWhy chemistry can't tell you whether he'll make a good partnerThe four qualities to evaluate when deciding whether a man is right for youWhy successful men aren't necessarily relationship-ready menHow to stop falling in love with potentialWhy emotional stability matters so much in a long-term partnerHow to tell the difference between attraction and compatibilityWhy you don't have to make a good man into a villain to decide he's not right for youThe simple Choose Well Play you can run on your own dating historyThe one question to ask yourself after your next dateTHIS WEEK'S PLAYLook at your last three serious dating choices.First, write down what initially attracted you to each man.Then write down what eventually made each relationship unworkable.Put the two lists side by side.What were you selecting for compared with what ultimately determined whether the relationship worked?Then, after your next date, replace:“Does he like me?”with:“What did I learn about his character?”Start collecting evidence.

Ryan Murphy spent five years as an engineering manager at Yelp on the team that owned the infrastructure behind every dollar moving through the company. He got the job the way a lot of people do, which is that his boss had no budget for a real engineering manager and asked if he'd try it.Most of this conversation is about the move from engineer to manager: what the job actually is, what he looks for before he'll move someone into it, and why he calls it a career change instead of a promotion. That last part is something I got told when I made the jump and completely ignored. I thought I was getting a bigger version of my old job.He also runs EM Accelerator, a training program for engineering managers, and Crying on the Sofa, a set of free mental health events for people in tech. He talks about the night that started the second one, sitting on his couch holding his newborn son.What we covered:The engineering manager archetypes, and how to spot which one a company is really hiring forWhat he watches during a production incident before he'll consider promoting youWhy the strongest engineer on the team is often the wrong pickWhy management is a career change, not a promotionWhy there's so little real training for new managers, and what he teaches instead of one-on-one templatesWhether a manager has to be regulated themselves to lead wellWhy he started Crying on the SofaWho should not become an engineering managerHis take on AI flattening orgs, and why he thinks people-focused managers matter more, not lessFind Ryan:EM Accelerator: https://www.emaccelerator.com/Crying on the Sofa: https://www.cryingonthesofa.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryansmurphy1Newsletter: https://www.softwareengineeringtimes.com/

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.

What if the reason your growth is not sticking has nothing to do with discipline?What if the real issue is the room?In this episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked parts of personal growth. Your environment is shaping your identity every single day.The people around you are not just witnessing who you are. They are reinforcing who you are through their reactions, conversations, standards, expectations, and unspoken rules.That is why you can spend an hour journaling, affirming, meditating, and doing the inner work, then step back into a room that pulls you toward the version of yourself you are trying to leave behind.Because one hour of expansion cannot outpace sixteen hours of contraction.This is not a willpower problem.It is an environment problem.We talk about the friendships, group chats, family dynamics, online spaces, and work environments that quietly shape what feels normal for you. We also unpack the question that reveals whether a room is calling you forward or keeping you connected to an identity you have already outgrown.If you have been doing the work but still feel like something is not changing, this episode may help you see the missing piece.Sometimes, you do not need more strategy.You need a different room.What You'll HearWhy affirmations and inner work are not always enoughHow your environment can undo your growth in real timeWhy identity is contagiousHow your nervous system calibrates to the people around youWhy you feel expansive in some rooms and smaller in othersThe unspoken rules inside friendships, families, workplaces, and communitiesHow to recognize when a room supports your growthThe five areas of your environment that need an honest auditWhy your group chats reveal more than you realizeHow family roles can follow you into your business and relationshipsWhy your online environment is constantly shaping your identityHow your work environment affects your standards, confidence, and beliefsThe one question that reveals the truth about every relationshipWhy history does not always mean alignmentWhat the right room actually does to your nervous systemHow the right environment rewires what feels normalWhy growth becomes easier when you stop doing it aloneOne Line To Sit With“You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your environment.”Your Invitation This WeekWrite down the names of the five to seven people you spend the most time with.Then ask yourself:Who do I become around them?Not who do I like around them.Not who have I known the longest.Not who feels familiar.Who do I become?Do I feel more confident?More honest?More expansive?More self-led?Or do I become smaller?Quieter?More doubtful?More connected to a version of myself I have already outgrown?Do not use the answer to judge the relationship.Use it as data.Pay attention to the rooms that reinforce who you used to be.Choose more of the rooms that call forward the woman you are becoming.Clip-Worthy Moments“You can't outgrow a room you're still spending all your time in.”“You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your environment.”“Identity is contagious. You catch it from the people you spend time with, whether you want to or not.”“Every room has unspoken rules.”“Show me your group chats and I'll show you your nervous system.”“Inspiration is cheap. Anyone with a Canva account can inspire you.”“Find women who don't get weird when you grow.”“The right room reflects the woman you're becoming, not the woman you're trying to leave behind.”“The right room does not just inspire you. It rewires what feels normal.”Mentioned In This EpisodeThe Unblocked Women CollectiveThe Mirror™The Unblocked Method™Save this episode for the next time you start questioning why the work is not sticking.Then send it to the woman who has been doing all the inner work but still feels like something is missing.It might be the room.

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

Loneliness carries the same health toll as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and for Childfree adults there is no built-in carpool lane to friendship. You build your crew on purpose.

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.

If I asked you right now how much your podcast has actually made you in the last year my friend, in clients booked, revenue earned, real measurable business results, could you give me a number? Most podcasters I work with cannot. They can tell me exactly what their podcast has cost them (the hosting fee, the microphone, the hours of recording and editing and promoting), but when I ask what it has earned them back, that is the moment we realize their podcast is not really set up to support their business.This episode is for the podcaster who suspects deep down that their show might be costing them more than it is making them, but has been afraid to actually do the math. I'm walking you through the three real costs of your podcast, the two modes every podcast is running in right now (and why there is no third option), the seven signs your podcast has quietly slid into hobby mode, the six signs it is actually working as a business asset, and exactly how to shift from one to the other if you are ready to.In This Episode You'll Learn:The three costs of your podcast most podcasters never actually add up (and the one that most people don't count at all)The two modes every single podcast is running in right now (and why there is no in between)The seven signs your podcast has quietly slid into expensive hobby modeThe six signs your podcast is actually working as a business asset for youWhy you are allowed to keep your podcast as a hobby (but only if you are choosing it on purpose)The exact three moves to make if you have decided you want your podcast to be a true business assetWant to know exactly where your podcast is losing clients?

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. This episode reveals the exact minimum dose of family meals that lowers a child's risk of obesity, the hormone your body releases every time you eat with people you love, and why teaching your kids to cook may protect their metabolism for life.Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shawn Stevenson, founder of The Model Health Show and author of the bestselling Eat Smarter Family Cookbook series. Shawn spent over two decades studying nutritional science and functional medicine after recovering from advanced degenerative disc disease at age 20, and he has become one of the most trusted voices in health media for turning peer-reviewed research into real-world family habits.Shawn and Dave break down the science of community eating, including new research on oxytocin, nervous system regulation, and metabolism that shows why sitting down together beats eating alone every time. They cover the four biological drives running your behavior, the connection between family culture and longevity, and how simple shifts like humming, breathwork, and intentional meals can support brain optimization and anti-aging at a cellular level. This conversation also dives into the five love languages hidden inside food, a bio-photon DNA experiment that reframes how energy moves between people, and the exact number of meals per week that changes a child's health trajectory.You'll Learn:The minimum effective dose of family meals per week that lowers childhood obesity and disordered eatingHow oxytocin and a regulated nervous system change what happens at the dinner tableWhy teaching kids to cook protects their metabolism and prevents dependence on ultra-processed foodHow the five love languages show up in how you cook, serve, and share foodThe bio-photon DNA experiment that shows how human energy fields affect the world around youWhy culture is something your family creates, not just something you inheritHow humming and breathwork practices can shift your nervous system and even change your voiceDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

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. He uses a story from Hawaii to break down why the answer may not be working harder up the same mountain.This episode is a mirror for the person who feels stuck in a room with no door. The tension is simple. Maybe the way out is not more pressure. 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.

Send us Fan MailSomeone pitched you whole life insurance. 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.

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!
