This conversation I have with my friend Ashley Romney started with a simple question about her journey with God, and somewhere in the middle of it she said something that caught me off guard... I had to stop and just sit with it. Ashley is a coach for young women, helping them move through shame and into the truth of who they are as loved children of God, and she was a client of mine before this. We get into what it actually looks like to stop earning your worth and start receiving it.Ashley Romney is a coach for young women who walks them through shame and the things that block us from living into our identity as loved beings. You can connect with her at https://ashleyromney.com/Here's what we explore:▪️What changes when you stop seeing God as a "Santa Claus god" who's keeping a list▪️The five-year relationship Ashley stayed in trying to save someone, and what finally helped her take the leap▪️How she went from receiving everything through other people to hearing God for herself▪️"Love is all that exists" and what it does to your fear when you actually believe it▪️The porcupine and the puppy dog... a picture of what it looks like to learn to receive love▪️Why she competed in nine pageants, never won the crown, and how God showed her she was "secret Miss Murray" all along▪️Why your worth was never actually in questionChapters:00:00 Meeting Ashley and Why This Conversation Stayed With Me01:31 The "Santa Claus God" and Trying to Earn Worth06:41 Building Faith Back and Learning to Hear God for Herself11:40 When "Love Is All That Exists" Started to Change Everything17:23 The Porcupine and the Puppy Dog: Learning to Receive Love20:17 Nine Pageants, No Crown, and Being "Secret Miss Murray"33:21 Seeing God as a Partner Who Has Faith in YouIf something in this conversation stirred something in you, I'd love for you to just sit with it.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right in menopause and the scale still won't budge?In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I'm pulling back the curtain on the Rapid Fat Loss approach I've been using with my clients and on myself.After months of travel, stress, inflammation, and feeling "off," I decided it was time for a reset. Just five days into the protocol, I'm down 2.5 pounds, my inflammation is noticeably lower, my cravings are gone, and I'm experiencing what Martin McDonald calls "diet utopia". That point where food stops controlling your thoughts and hunger becomes incredibly manageable.I also share: • Why traditional 1 pound per week dieting often fails women in menopause • The biggest mistake women make when trying to lose weight • How clients like Stacy and Pam are losing 4–6 pounds in their first week • Why this approach creates GLP-1 style appetite control without using GLP-1 medications • The difference between aggressive fat loss and chronic dieting • How to know if this strategy is right for youIf you've been stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed by all the noise around cortisol, hormones, supplements, weighted vests, and the latest menopause trends, this episode will give you a different perspective.The truth is, fat loss in menopause doesn't have to take forever.Ready to find out what's actually keeping you stuck?Book a free strategy call and let's talk about your goals:Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!

Knowing your attachment style is not the finish line, y'all, it's the starting line. I have a doctorate in clinical psychology and I knew attachment theory inside and out, and I still couldn't attract a healthy relationship until I did the deeper work underneath it.In this episode, I'm getting honest about why so many of you have read all the books, taken all the quizzes, listened to 300 episodes of this podcast and still feel stuck in the same painful patterns. The missing piece is your unconscious relationship belief system. These are the sneaky, below-the-surface beliefs that decide who you're attracted to, what you tolerate, and why secure love can feel "boring" while chaos feels like chemistry. I'm walking you through the most common limiting beliefs I see (love must be earned, inconsistency equals attraction, I have to over-give to be chosen, people always leave me, I'm not enough, I'm too much), why your brain files them away as truth, and the real work it takes to rewire them.Inside the episode:Why attachment theory awareness without belief-level rewiring can actually leave you in more pain, not lessThe "is this serving you?" framework I use with clients to excavate the beliefs running your love life behind the scenesWhy your "type" isn't really your type, it's your unhealed belief system choosing your partners for youIf this episode lit something up in you, your next step is here. I'm hosting my free 3-day live event, Adored. Chosen.

Send us Fan MailYour job title can feel like armour, right up until it disappears and you're left asking a scary question: who am I without it? We sit down with Toni, a bibliotherapist and founder of the Shelf Help book club, to talk about burnout, identity, and the moment self-help stops being something you roll your eyes at and becomes something you genuinely need.Toni shares how years in high-pressure tabloid journalism fuelled a relentless pace, and how stepping away brought an unexpected crash in confidence and self-worth. From her first self-help read at 38 to building an online community that discusses personal development books and interviews authors, she's learned that the goal is not “fixing yourself”. It's getting to know yourself, building self-compassion, and making choices with intention rather than habit.We also dig into the structure behind his pocket-sized book, You, The Beginner's Guide: looking back at what shaped you, looking forward at who you're becoming, then supporting your present with habits, routines, rituals, and boundaries. Along the way, we explore three powerful quotes that anchor the work, the hidden cost of hyper-independence, and why doing this in community can change everything, including how your nervous system feels day to day.If you enjoy honest conversations about self-help, bibliotherapy, burnout recovery, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, press play.

Hey rockstar,In the last piece, we explored why AI “fast money” shortcuts leave so many people feeling numb, overwhelmed, and disconnected — and why the real foundation of a sustainable business is still connection, care, and community.There's a closely related piece almost nobody is talking about:If numbness is what erodes your relationships, joy and wealth creation from the inside out, curiosity is what brings it back to life.Not just as a nice idea — but as a literal learning rate for your brain and your purpose.“Hey, before we jump in - when you get a moment, hit reply and tell me…. What's the #1 thing you're struggling with right now?The Number That Should Stop Every Purpose Driven Wealth Creation - ColdA developmental psychologist at Williams College tracked how many questions children ask per hour.At age five, the average kid asks 107 questions per hour. They're relentless. Why is the sky blue? Why do dogs have tails? Why does grandma's hair turn white? Their brains are running at full throttle, pulling in data from every direction.Then school starts.* By first grade, the entire class asks 2.3 questions per hour — combined.* By fifth grade? 0.48 questions per hour. Less than one question every two hours from a room full of eleven-year-olds.In one observation, kids were experimenting with an old-fashioned balance scale, genuinely doing science. The teacher shut it down: “Enough of that. I'll give you time to experiment at recess. There's no time for experiments now. We're doing science.”Read that again. No time for experiments… during science class.The researcher's conclusion is brutal: if you lose your curiosity by age 11, you probably don't get it back.I disagree on one thing. I think you can get it back. But you have to understand what curiosity actually is, neurologically. And that's where it gets interesting — especially for anyone trying to build something real in the AI era.Your Brain Is a Large Language Model (No, Really)The more I create custom services and learn about how advanced AI models work, the more clear it becomes: your brain is running the same basic algorithm.Consider the parallels:* Your brain has roughly 86 billion neurons connected by an estimated 100 trillion synapses.* GPT-4 has approximately 1.8 trillion parameters across its mixture-of-experts architecture.* Both are massive pattern-recognition networks.* Both learn by prediction.Here's how an LLM trains: it reads a sentence, predicts the next word, checks whether it was right, and adjusts its internal weights. Right answer? Strengthen that pathway. Wrong answer? Weaken it, try again. Billions of repetitions, trillions of adjustments.Your brain does the same thing.Every experience is a prediction. You reach for a coffee cup and predict its weight. You start a sentence and predict how the other person will react. When reality matches your prediction, your synapses strengthen. When it doesn't, your brain recalibrates. Neuroscientists call this predictive coding.A 2024 study found LLMs become more advanced, their internal representations actually become more similar to human brain activity during speech processing.Your brain is the original foundation model — pre-trained by evolution, fine-tuned by experience.But here's the critical difference:An LLM's learning rate is set by engineers. They decide how aggressively the model updates its weights in response to new data. Too high and it's unstable. Too low and it stops learning.In your brain, that learning rate has a name. It's called curiosity. And unlike an LLM, you can adjust it yourself.Curiosity as a Reward Signal: The Dopamine ConnectionUC Davis put people in an fMRI scanner and asked them trivia questions.What they found — published in the journal Neuron — changed our understanding of how curiosity works.When participants were highly curious, their ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens lit up. These are the same brain regions activated by food, sex, and addictive drugs.Curiosity hijacks your reward circuitry. It's not a nice-to-have personality trait. It's a neurochemical event.But the more interesting finding was this: during the curious state, participants were shown random faces, completely unrelated to the trivia. Later, they remembered those faces significantly better than faces shown during low-curiosity moments.Curiosity didn't just help them learn the answer they wanted. It supercharged their memory for everything happening in that moment.This is exactly how reinforcement learning works in AI. When an LLM gets a reward signal through RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), it doesn't just strengthen the specific output — The reward ripples through the network.Curiosity is your brain's RLHF. It's the reward signal that tells 86 billion neurons: pay attention, something important is happening, encode everything.Without that signal, your brain does what an untrained model does. It defaults to cached responses. You stop updating. You become, in AI terms, a frozen model.Curiosity Literally Keeps You AliveAnd this is about much more than learning faster.In 1996, researchers Gary Swan and Dorit Carmelli at SRI International followed 1,118 older men over five years as part of the Western Collaborative Group Study. They measured curiosity at baseline and tracked who survived.The result: highly curious people had significantly higher survival rates — even after controlling for age, smoking, cardiovascular disease, and other risk factors. They replicated the finding in 1,035 older women.Curiosity was directly associated with greater cognitive reserve — the brain's buffer against age-related decline.Curious brains keep building new connections. Incurious ones atrophy.Mindset is a biological variable. Curious people don't merely think differently — their brains physically maintain themselves better.Which means in business terms:The relentless drive to learn boosts your neurons and adaptability as much as any supplement or course.How We Lose Curiosity (And Why That Kills Businesses)We aren't born numb.However, school, social conditioning, and performance culture often suppress questioning. By the time most people start or grow a business, their curiosity has nearly vanished.We learn to:* Stop experimenting unless there's a guaranteed outcome* Protect what we already “know” instead of updating* Prioritize looking competent over actually learningLayer AI “shortcuts” on top of that and the effect compounds. You can ship more, post more, automate more — without ever engaging the deeper questions:* What is really happening in my market right now?* What are my clients actually struggling with beneath the surface?* Where am I out of alignment with what I'm selling?Without those questions, your wealth stops evolving in any meaningful way. You may still be iterating on tactics, but your inner model of reality is frozen.Numbness plus speed is just a faster way to hit the wall.The most dangerous thing that can happen to your brain — or your business — is to stop being surprised.How to Crank Your Learning Rate Back Up Five strategies for creative agency:1. Create information gaps intentionally. Curiosity arises when you know enough to spot gaps but not enough to fill them. Before meetings, read halfway through an article and enter with questions, not answers.2. Schedule daily “explore time.” Dedicate 30 minutes to learning about unfamiliar fields to keep your curiosity alive without aiming for expertise.3. Ask “dumb” questions among experts. Genuine learners ask for explanations, even in rooms full of accomplished people.4. Change your physical inputs. Perceptual and intellectual curiosity; try new routes, restaurants without menus, or confusing places to stimulate dopamine.5. Teach what you learn within 24 hours. Sharing knowledge helps organize and consolidate it—similar to fine-tuning data in LLMs.Curiosity, AI, and the “Whole Human” In a world obsessed with speed and automation, the temptation is to outsource not just your tasks, but your actual thinking — your contact with reality.But the future we actually want isn't built by numbed-out operators running frozen mental models, propped up by ever-fancier tools.It's built by people who are:* Awake enough to notice when they've gone numb* Curious enough to re-open the questions about what they're building* Grounded enough to use AI as support for their nervous systems and insight — not as a mask over their disconnectionThat's the through-line from the last piece to this one:* From extraction → to contribution* From performance → to presence* From “how do I hack the algorithm?” → to “how do I keep my own learning rate high enough to truly serve?”What This Means for YouIf you're an entrepreneur: Your competitive advantage isn't your product. It's your rate of learning. Build a culture that rewards questions over answers. Hire curious people over credentialed people.If you're an executive or practitioner: Schedule one hour a week to explore a field completely outside your industry. Those who survive disruption are the ones whose mental models are still updating.If you're investing in yourself: Bet on your curiosity the way a smart investor bets on a sole proprietor founder's adaptability. Curiosity predicts adaptability — and adaptability predicts survival.If you're a parent or leader of others: Count the questions in the room. If the number is dropping, the issue isn't the people — it's the environment. Protect spaces where real learning (which is always a little messy) is allowed.The Invitation to the Deeper MindLet the FOMO cool.Keep experimenting with AI — but pair every tool with a question:* What is this teaching me about my clients, my patterns, my assumptions?* Where am I tempted to go numb instead of stay curious?Rebuild your foundation with timeless ingredients: connection, care, community, and a living curiosity that aligns you with life—not just trends. Curiosity reconnects you with reality, countering numbness.That's how I use Generative AI in Oracle work: To awaken intuition, not replace it.When you open The Light Between Oracle, you enter an immersive experience blending symbolic language, somatic regulation, and guided integration—so insights land in your body, not just your mind.Here's the process:* You arrive scattered or braced.* The Oracle helps you downshift to hear yourself.* It reflects the clearest pattern at play.* You leave with one grounded step to take that day.The goal isn't more information—it's becoming someone whose inner model continually updates through presence, questions, and authentic connection.If you felt this piece in your bones, take the next step with me:Try The Light Between Oracle here: [Insert your link to the Oracle app]What you'll get from it:* Clarity without overwhelm (a focused prompt + practical direction)* Nervous system replenishment (so your guidance doesn't get drowned out by stress)* Better decisions through curiosity (questions that reopen your learning rate)* Aligned momentum (action that feels clean, not performative)* A daily wisdom + strategy practice you can actually sustainIf you want, hit reply and tell me what you're navigating right now—and I'll tell you the best place to start inside the Oracle.

Nobody in the automotive industry trains the phone. That's exactly why I do.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on the ONE skill that took me from selling investments cold over the phone for 12 years… to selling 50–60 cars a month consistently in the auto industry… to now training one of the BIGGEST automotive groups in the United States (over 100 dealerships) every single Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on this exact framework.I'm telling you the story of my very first month in the car business — how I walked in on the 16th, took ZERO lot ups, made 120–150 calls a day, and sold 21 cars to finish #1 on the board. No internet leads. No showroom traffic. Just the phone.Then I'm breaking down the EXACT structure my mentor taught me — the structure I now teach inside dealerships across the country. I call it the CORE FOUR:

Thinking about getting a tattoo of your pet, or wondering why so many people do? For some, it's a way to celebrate a pet they love right now. For others, it's about holding onto a memory, a moment, or a bond that changed their life. But what are people really trying to capture when they make something like that permanent? In this episode, tattoo artist Bailey Hyde shares what she sees every day working with clients who want to honor their pets in a lasting way, from full dog or cat portraits to symbolic pet tattoo designs like paw prints, nose prints, or even something as unexpected as a favorite object.We talk about what drives people to get pet tattoos, how those decisions are made, and the emotional side of it that most people don't think about in advance.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why pet tattoos often represent more than just how a pet looks The difference between memorial tattoos and those done while a pet is still living What to think through before deciding if this is right for youIf you're considering a dog tattoo, cat tattoo, memorial pet tattoo, or another way to honor your pet, this conversation may change how you think about it.CONNECT WITH BAILEY HYDE, owner/artist Ink Therapy AbileneWebsite: https://inktherapyabi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inktherapyabilene Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inktherapyabileneOTHER LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Pet Parent Hotline Consults: https://petparenthotline.com/consultStuck on a pet problem?

The hospitality industry has a mental health problem — we've talked about it plenty on this show. But what about the physical side? Long shifts, late-night snacking, beer after service, picking through the kitchen, stress that never turns off. Jay and Dom sit down with Calgary-based speaker and health strategist Robin O'Grady — a ten-year hospitality veteran turned leadership health coach — to talk about what's quietly taking out restaurant leaders, and why fixing it doesn't have to mean cutting carbs, buying a gym membership, or turning your life upside down.Robin's message is refreshingly simple: decide, assess, pick one thing, and stay consistent. That's it. No Ozempic. No six-pack. No elimination diets. Just the smallest change you can actually do forever.In this episode, we get into:Why waking up in pain is not a normal part of aging — and what your body is trying to tell youThe real reason most health plans fail (hint: you're trying to change too many things at once)"Discipline vs. restriction" — and why one works while the other always blows upThe hydration rule Robin won't negotiate on, even if you eat pizza every dayStress, cortisol, and why high performers gain weight even when they barely eatThe freezer story — how one chef taught Robin to release stress mid-shiftGrounding exercises you can do in 60 seconds between tablesThe sidewalk client — how a 400+ lb. client started with one square of concrete and built a new life from thereWhy "busy" is often a trauma response disguised as a flexHow to manufacture your own emergency before your body does it for youIf you've ever stood in the walk-in at the end of a Saturday night wondering how long you can keep this up — this one is for you.About Robin O'GradyRobin is a leadership health and performance speaker based in Calgary, Alberta. With over a decade of hands-on experience in hospitality and more than 36 years in customer service, she speaks directly to the leaders our industry depends on about building sustainable health into impossibly demanding careers.

In this episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes reflection on something that has deeply shifted how I show up in my business:

Send us Fan MailSuccess isn't just about getting there… it's about staying there.Most advice around success sounds like a hype playlist—push harder, aim higher, upgrade everything. But very few conversations explore what happens after you win… when the pressure rises, expectations grow, and your nervous system starts carrying more than it was ever designed to hold.In this episode, I unpack the hidden cost of success—and the skill that matters most if you want to sustain it: the ability to stay in the game.Using sport as a powerful metaphor for long-term performance, we look at the mindset behind elite consistency. Roger Federer is a perfect example—becoming one of the greatest of all time while losing nearly half the points he played, simply by staying present and focusing on the next shot.From there, we explore the real divide I see with high performers:The outer game — strategy, growth, resultsThe inner game — emotional wellbeing, meaning, relationships, and calmWithout the inner game, outer success can quietly turn into burnout, health challenges, strained relationships, or a constant pressure to maintain what you've built.We also go deeper into the relationship between wealth and emotional balance—why more money doesn't always mean more freedom, and how behaviour, identity, and temperament shape long-term outcomes.Along the way, I share real-world insights from individuals operating at a high level—those who have built significant success, yet still face challenges around trust, fulfilment, and connection.And importantly, we cover the practices that keep you grounded while you grow:MeditationMovementNutritionSimplifying when neededSurrounding yourself with people who stabilise and elevate youIf you're building something meaningful, leading at a high level, or stepping into more responsibility—this episode will help you do it in a way that is sustainable, grounded, and aligned.Because success isn't just about winning…It's about who you become—and how you sustain it.Support the showThank you for listening

Have you ever wondered why some people live to 100… and still feel happy, healthy, and full of purpose?In this video, I'm sharing my review of The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner — and more importantly, what it really means for us in retirement. This isn't about extreme diets or complicated routines.It's about simple, powerful habits that people around the world use every day to live longer and better.In this video, we'll explore the 9 key lessons from the Blue Zones✔ Movement is built into lifestyle✔ Purpose doesn't retire✔ Stress is managed not eliminated✔ Eating simple and mindful✔ People matter more than anything✔ Eat mostly plants✔ Enjoy life - in moderation ✔ Your world is bigger than yourself✔ Your environment shapes youIf you're looking for more energy, more connection, and more purpose in retirement… this might just change the way you think about aging.

Moment 2,374 in divorce no one prepares you for...You're sitting there—staring at the email, the paperwork, the numbers—and your whole body says:I can't do this.Your chest tightens.Your stomach drops.Every instinct in you says: run away.But the deadlines don't stop. And you are too responsible.And suddenly you're caught in that impossible space between: – what your body is begging for – and what your life is requiring of youIf you've ever wondered, “Does this mean I made a mistake?” If you've ever felt the urge to shut it all down, pause the process, or disappear completely…This episode is your soft place to land.Inside, I'll walk you through what's actually happening in your nervous system when you feel like you're about to collapse—and why that feeling does not mean you're on the wrong path.And more importantly, I'll guide you through a simple, powerful somatic practice you can use in real time: – after opening an attorney email – before reviewing documents – or in those moments where everything feels like too muchSo you can: – feel the grief without shutting down – create just enough safety in your body – and take one small, steady step forwardYou don't have to override your body. And you don't have to stop your life to survive this.We're creating a third option—together.✨ Inside this episode: Why your body says “stop” during divorce (and why it makes sense)  The nervous system response to legal and financial stress  Why overwhelm and collapse don't mean you made the wrong decision  A guided butterfly tapping practice for immediate relief  How to move forward without abandoning yourself

Send us Fan MailLet's be honest—“holiness” has been weaponized.For years, it's been used to divide, exclude, and label people as “clean” or “unclean.” But what if we've been getting it wrong the whole time?In this bold message, we flip the script.Jesus didn't define holiness by who you avoid—He defined it by how you love. And that changes everything.Walking through Mark 7 and Acts 10, we confront a hard truth: holiness isn't about distance from “those people.” It's about refusing to become the kind of person who harms others. This episode dives into:Why “unclean” was never about categories of peopleHow Scripture has been misused to justify harmWhat holiness actually looks like in real life (hint: it's not behavior control)Why love—not fear, not rules—is the clearest evidence of God in youIf your version of holiness creates division, shame, or harm… it might not be holiness at all.This is a call to something better.A faith that looks like Jesus.A holiness that actually heals.

Flower friends — this one is different.Today we're diving into something deeper than business strategy…Because the truth is — a lot of business problems are actually life problems in disguise.If you've ever:held something in instead of saying itreplayed a situation over and over in your headfelt frustrated, hurt, or misunderstoodavoided a conversation because it felt uncomfortableThis episode is for you.Because one of the most powerful things you can learn —is how to speak up, ask questions, and advocate for yourself.

Most agents who want to build a team start by buying leads. That is exactly the wrong move. Door knocking real estate prospecting is what built the most durable, profitable teams in this business — and the math proves it.In this conversation, I sit down with two of the most battle-tested team leaders in the country. Jeff Quintin has sold over 5,000 homes across more than 30 years. Alex Lehr has run a profitable real estate team for 42 years through eight completely different market cycles. Neither of them got there by renting leads from a platform. They got there by learning how to generate business with nothing but a script, a phone, and a pair of shoes.Here is what we actually get into:— Why the traditional real estate team model built on purchased leads is losing money right now, even when gross volume looks strong— The difference between real estate net vs gross and why most team leaders on conference panels will never tell you what they actually take home— How to reverse engineer your real estate business plan starting from net income, not top-line volume— What a family real estate team looks like when it is built intentionally as a real estate legacy business, not just a second revenue stream— Why being a real estate team leader means nothing if you cannot teach your agents to hunt without youIf you are producing as a solo agent and thinking about building a team, listen this before you hire anyone. The model most people copy is the one that is quietly dying. The one that survives is the one where every person on the team knows how to go get business the day the leads dry up.

If you're leading a $10M–$25M, multi-location, operations-heavy organization, you likely have a strong team but still feel like too many decisions come back to you.In this episode, Alex sits down with Suzanne Devenport, CEO of Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) and lifelong advocate for rural and Indigenous communities. Suzanne has spent decades building organizations that bridge resources to underserved communities across 45 states and now leads a 275-person team serving 13 Western states.The conversation goes beyond nonprofit leadership and into a challenge every CEO faces: how your own leadership habits can quietly create bottlenecks and slow execution.Suzanne breaks down how even highly experienced leaders can unintentionally limit team ownership by trying to solve too many problems themselves, over-optimizing, or stepping in before their leaders have fully thought things through.In this episode, you'll learn:Why seeing yourself as a steward, not just a CEO, changes how your team respondsHow “strategic optimism” helps you focus on what you can control without reacting to every challengeThe link between professional maturity and building trust in your leadership teamHow lessons from rural culture—and even rodeo life—can sharpen leadership and decision-makingWhy showing up authentically for your team and community accelerates impactThis is for you if:You still feel like the final decision-maker on too many issuesYour leaders bring problems, but not fully thought-out solutionsExecution slows down because everything routes back through youIf you want a team that thinks, owns, and executes without constant oversight, this episode will show you where to start.Take the free Executive Leadership Diagnostic here: www.gpsleadership.org/diagnostic

If you're leading a $10M–$25M, multi-location, operations-heavy business, you likely have a strong team but still feel like too many decisions come back to you.In this episode, Alex sits down with Court Lorenzini, Founder & CEO of FounderNexus and a serial entrepreneur behind companies like DocuSign, who has raised over $300M and built multiple startups across decades.The conversation goes beyond startup success and into a problem every operator CEO faces: how your own leadership habits can quietly reduce ownership on your team.Court breaks down how even high-performing CEOs unintentionally limit proactivity by solving too quickly, optimizing too early, or stepping in before their leaders fully think things through.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “being the smartest problem-solver in the room” reduces team ownershipHow to identify your leadership superpower and its hidden downsideA simple mental pause that increases team contribution and initiativeHow to structure roles around strengths to drive better executionWhy the right community accelerates better decisions (and reduces costly mistakes)This is for you if:You still feel like the final decision-maker on too many issuesYour leaders bring problems, but not fully thought-out solutionsExecution slows down because everything routes back through youIf you want a team that thinks, owns, and executes without constant oversight, this episode will show you where to start.Listen now and share this with another CEO who's ready to step out of the bottleneck and build a team that runs faster without them.Take the free Executive Leadership Diagnostic here: www.gpsleadership.org/diagnostic

How many dreams never get started because of one simple thought…“I'm not ready.”“Someone else is already doing it.”“Maybe someday.”In this episode, Nancy Moore sits down with Dr. Megan Weinkauf for a powerful conversation about overcoming the limiting beliefs that quietly hold so many women back.These aren't just thoughts—they're the stories we tell ourselves that keep us playing small.In this episode, we talk about how to recognize those patterns, challenge them, and take real steps toward what's actually possible for your life, your work, and your purpose. ✨ Honest conversation✨ Real-life examples✨ The kind of perspective shift that stays with youIf you've been waiting until you feel “ready”… this episode is for you.You might hear exactly what you need to take your next step.

The topic was supposed to be “Discipling the Next Generation”…and we got there, just not how you'd expect.In this episode, Peyton and Pete unpack an often-overlooked ingredient behind disciple-making movements: mentorship.Peyton shares what it's been like to have a legend like Ralph Moore personally investing into his church plant and why having a mentor can change the trajectory of your ministry (and your life). From stories of writing letters to paying for coaching that reshaped his future, Peyton makes the case that too many church planters are pouring out without ever letting someone pour into them.They also tackle:Why Gen X leaders struggle to ask for helpThe difference between wanting mentorship and committing to itWhy skin in the game mattersThe cost (and value) of being discipledWhy you should always have someone ahead of you — and someone behind youIf you're planting, leading, or simply feeling like you're figuring it out alone…this episode is a reminder: You weren't meant to. And if we're serious about discipling the next generation, it starts by modeling what it looks like to be discipled ourselves.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:DiscipologyBook.comReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

Life does not always fall apart in neat, Instagram-worthy ways.Sometimes it blindsides you. Sometimes it knocks the air out of you. Sometimes it leaves your nervous system spinning and your mind searching for answers.In this episode I break down what coaching actually does for you when life kicks you in the junk — not by avoiding pain, but by helping you stay self-led inside of it.I share how I personally navigated a recent season I did not ask for, and the exact mindset and emotional tools that made it possible to stay grounded, connected, and clear when nothing felt easy.This episode is not about positive thinking or fixing yourself. It is about learning how to work with your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them run your life.In this episode, we talk about:Why painful experiences do not mean you are doing life wrongHow coaching helps you stay self-led during hard seasonsThe difference between facts and the stories your brain tellsWhy “neutral” does not mean harmless or okayHow to observe your thoughts and emotions without being consumed by themWhy mindset work does not mean avoiding hard feelingsHow to feel emotions safely instead of suppressing or fixing themThe difference between respecting a thought and agreeing with itWhy not every thought deserves your obedienceThe powerful question that brings you back to yourself when everything feels confusingKey takeaway:You do not need to eliminate hard thoughts or emotions to move forward. You need the ability to stay with yourself, supervise your mind, and choose how you respond — one situation, one thought, one feeling, one choice at a time.That is what coaching builds.Resources:Free Feelings Video + Worksheet: Click HERE to grab it.Jessica's book, In Pursuit Order my #1 New Release book In PursuitGet your complimentary copy of The Unblocked Journal to help bring awareness to perfectionist thinking and what it's creating in your life.Join My Do The Thing Community Want more support?If this episode resonated with you and you want deeper, personalized support, you can learn more about working with me at jessicasmarro.comStay connected:Follow me on Facebook & Instagram: @jessicasmarroShare this episode and tag me with what landed for youIf you enjoyed today's conversation, please follow, rate, and review Unblocked.
