Description:What if your biggest breakthrough hasn't happened yet?In this joyful and deeply encouraging conversation, Jen sits down with comedian, author, actress, and beloved storyteller Leanne Morgan to talk about dreams, disappointment, perseverance, and the surprising possibilities waiting for us in midlife.As part of our Sacred Yes: Reclaiming Joy in Midlife series, we're bringing back one of our most-loved episodes because Leanne's story embodies everything this season is about: saying yes to possibility, trusting your own timeline, and refusing to believe that life's best chapters belong exclusively to youth.Before sold-out tours, bestselling books, Netflix specials, and national recognition, Leanne spent decades raising children, caring for family, performing in comedy clubs, and quietly holding onto a dream that seemed increasingly unlikely. Then, in her fifties, everything changed.With her trademark humor and warmth, Leanne shares what it was like to keep showing up long after many people would have given up. She reflects on motherhood, caregiving, marriage, becoming a grandmother, and the surprising freedom that comes with getting older.Most of all, she reminds us that there is no expiration date on becoming who we're meant to be.Over this delightful hour, Leanne will regale you with charming hard-won life lessons including:● Why success arriving later can be a gift● The power of perseverance through disappointment● The balancing act of holding dreams, caregiving, and family life all with care● How humor helps us survive hard seasons● Why comparison is a thief of joy● The freedom that comes with embracing your own timeline● What it means to trust that what's meant for you won't miss youIf you've ever wondered whether you've missed your chance, whether it's too late to pivot, or whether your most joyful years are already behind you, Leanne has a message for you:You are not behind. You are not too late. Your story is still unfolding.Thought-provoking Quotes:★ "I always just knew it was going to happen... I knew there were people out there going through the same thing I'm going through. I just didn't know how to reach them." — Leanne Morgan ★ "I really try to be present and enjoy it, because what a gift after all these years. It's just like icing on the cake, really." — Leanne Morgan ★ "I hope they take away: use humor to get you through hard times. I think it's the best thing that could ever happen to anybody, to be able to laugh through the bad times." — Leanne Morgan ★ "I've got to be me. I've got to do what I've got to do. If y'all love me or if you don't, it's okay." — Leanne Morgan Resources Mentioned in This Episode:➢ What in the World?!: A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs by Leanne Morgan - https://www.leannemorgan.com/book➢ I'm Every Woman (Netflix Special) - https://www.netflix.com/title/81688708➢ You're Cordially Invited (Amazon MGM Studios) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0D9WF53QX➢

Your future clients don't need perfection—they need your expertise, your heart, and your willingness to show up.Helpful Links:

There is something your brain is spinning right now, that you may never have been given a name for or a way out of. The thought you keep replaying. The conversation you keep recasting. The reel that loads up again and again without resolution, making you feel worse each time and no closer to clarity. That is rumination. And according to the neuroscience, it is the single greatest pre-diagnostic factor for depression and anxiety we have identified, and we are all doing it more than we ever have.Donna Jackson Nakazawa is an award-winning science writer whose work sits at the intersection of neurobiology, emotion, and mental health. Her new book, Mind Drama, is the most rigorous and humane investigation of rumination yet written: what it is, why your brain does it, what it is actually trying to tell you, and how to use a specific neurobiologically grounded framework to loosen its grip.In this conversation, you will explore:Why rumination is a survival response gone rogue, and why knowing that changes how you relate to your own spinning thoughtsWhat a brain scan of Donna's own ruminating mind revealed, and what those red swirls in the default mode network actually mean for your daily lifeWhy midlife may be the season when old ruminative patterns return with the most force, and what that signal is asking you to hearThe research showing that women ruminate at significantly higher rates than men, why this is, and what the neuroscience says about the acting-in pattern and its link to depressionThe MIST framework: a four-step neurobiological practice for naming the mental movies, emotions, and somatic sensations underneath your rumination so the brain can actually let goWhy rumination is never random, always circling the question of whether you matter to the people who matter most to youIf you have ever told yourself to stop thinking about something and found you could not, this conversation is for you.You can find Donna at: Healing Together Substack | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we are sitting down with Candace Dellacona, a trust and estates attorney who is also personally in this season, to talk about the caregiving years, and what it costs you when you are pulled in every direction at once, not just logistically but in terms of who you are and who you thought you would be by now. If you are caring for an aging parent, a younger dependent, or both at the same time, this one was made for you.

What if the pressure you're feeling isn't coming from your circumstances?What if it's coming from believing you have something to prove?In this episode Diane shares a personal realization that shifted the way she thinks about parenting, coaching, business, and even showing up in the world.For years, she believed confidence came from being prepared, having the right answers, or proving she knew what she was doing. But after a recent podcast interview felt surprisingly easy, she realized something had changed.She wasn't speaking from approval.She was speaking from alignment.Together, we'll explore how the need to prove ourselves quietly shapes our relationships, our parenting, our work, and our sense of worth—and what becomes possible when we let that burden go.Because when we stop trying to prove our value, we create space to contribute from it. In This Episode You'll Explore:• Why proving and contributing come from two very different places• How trying to manage other people's outcomes keeps us stuck• Why speaking from alignment feels different than speaking for approval• The shift from proving responsibility to experiencing contribution• How this same pattern shows up in parenting, business, leadership, and everyday relationships• A simple question that can transform the way you show up with yourself and othersA Resource for YouIf this episode has you recognizing patterns of over-responsibility, people-pleasing, control, or emotional reactivity, Diane's Drama Triangle & Empowerment Dynamic Resource is a wonderful place to begin.It will help you recognize the hidden patterns that keep you proving—and begin creating relationships rooted inownership, emotional safety, and connection.https://www.dianesorensen.net/drama-to-empowermentLet's Connect:Instagram: @dianesorensen.bbFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/diane.sorensen.589Join the conversation — share your takeaways or questions from today's episode by sending me a message on Instagram or Facebook - your reflections matter.Working Together:Diane Sorensen Coaching is where boundarywork becomes the bridge from chaos to connection.You'll learn to transform your triggers, lead with compassion, and create emotionally safe, connected relationships built on authenticity, not approval.Reclaim your CALM, speak your TRUTH, and live FREE→ Submit an inquiry or learn more: www.dianesorensen.net/contact→ Explore free guides and resources to support your growth: www.dianesorensen.net/→ Join the weekly newsletter for insights, tools, and support delivered straight to your inbox: www.dianesorensen.net/email-listBreakthrough session – Takeyour first step toward better communication and real connection.

Many spiritual entrepreneurs find themselves caught between two worlds. On one side is the fast-paced culture of hustle, productivity hacks, and constant output. On the other is a desire to build a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and supportive of their energy. In this encouraging episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel explores the concept of gentle productivity and why traditional productivity advice often falls short for sensitive, intuitive, and heart-centered business owners.Listeners will discover how mindset, nervous system regulation, technology, and simple business systems all play a role in creating sustainable momentum. Michel discusses the hidden costs of comparison, especially when spiritual entrepreneurs measure themselves against entrepreneurs with different values, personalities, resources, or life circumstances. She also explores how decision fatigue, digital clutter, perfectionism, and scattered tools can quietly drain energy and make it difficult to focus on what matters most.Throughout the episode, Michel offers practical and compassionate strategies for reducing overwhelm, simplifying digital environments, using technology and AI as supportive partners, building simple systems, and creating a business that works with—not against—the entrepreneur's natural strengths. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that meaningful progress does not require hustle, burnout, or constant pressure, and that productivity can be rooted in peace, clarity, and self-trust.Topics CoveredWhat gentle productivity really meansWhy traditional productivity advice often fails spiritual entrepreneursThe comparison trap and measuring yourself against other entrepreneursHow sensitivity can be a business strengthProductivity shame and nervous system overwhelmDecision fatigue and its impact on business growthThe hidden cost of digital clutter and scattered toolsCreating simple systems that reduce stressUsing AI and technology as supportive business partnersProgress versus perfectionAligning productivity with your values and energyBuilding sustainable momentum without burnoutCreating a business that supports and holds youIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by productivity advice, struggled to keep up with the pace of online business, or wondered whether there is a gentler way to grow your business, this episode is for you.

If you're a true crime girlie, stop what you're doing and press play. Because this conversation with Dateline's Andrea Canning is one of those episodes you'll be thinking about long after it's over. Andrea has spent more than a decade interviewing killers, sitting with grieving families, and uncovering what really happened behind the closed doors of seemingly “perfect” lives. In this episode, she reveals the relationship patterns she sees over and over again, the red flags she wishes more women would trust, why women are so fascinated by true crime in the first place, and the case that still haunts her to this day.But this isn't just an episode about murder mysteries. It's also about motherhood. Because Andrea is raising six kids while building a career most of us can only dream about. We talk honestly about mom guilt, ambition, traveling for work, freezer-pop-induced breakdowns, teenagers who want absolutely nothing to do with you, and the surprising freedom that comes with realizing you don't have to do everything perfectly.This episode will make you laugh, give you chills, validate your experience as a working mom, and might just change the way you think about trusting your instincts.In this episode, you'll hear:● Why women are so obsessed with true crime (Andrea's answer is fascinating)● The relationship red flags that show up again and again in Dateline cases● The heartbreaking case Andrea still can't stop thinking about● What interviewing victims' families has taught her about humanity● How she's navigated motherhood while building an extraordinary career● The permission every mom needs to hear about evolving, growing, and pursuing something that's just for youIf you've ever listened to Dateline while unloading the dishwasher… if you've ever wondered, How did nobody see this coming? … if you've ever struggled with the impossible balance of motherhood and ambition… you need this episode.Seriously.

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.

Highly sensitive people often experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system fatigue because they absorb more from their environments than they realize. When emotional regulation becomes difficult, it's often not because you're "too sensitive"—it's because your nervous system has been carrying more than it was meant to carry.In this guided practice episode, we move beyond understanding emotional absorption and into experiencing what it feels like to come back to yourself. Together, we'll explore a simple nervous system reset designed to help you release emotional weight, reconnect with your own experience, and create space between caring for others and carrying everything for them.You'll learn: • the difference between caring and carrying • a simple nervous system practice for returning to yourself • how to stay connected without taking responsibility for everything around youIf your nervous system has been carrying a lot lately, you may enjoy these companion Yoga Nidra practices on Insight Timer:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1Yoga Nidra for Burnout Recovery: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-highly-sensitive-people-burnout-recoveryAnd if anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or absorbing other people's emotions has become a recurring pattern for you, my short course Anxiety Relief: Training Your Nervous System for Safety offers simple, practical tools to help your body feel steadier in emotional environments: https://yogiranger.com/anxiety-relief-courseNew to the podcast?

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.

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveAre your PTO policies scaring off the technicians you actually want? Could a $100-a-week tool allowance or a reimbursed truck payment beat a $10,000 raise — and cost you less? In today's tight labor market, the shops winning top talent aren't always paying the most. They're being the smartest.Recorded live at the Vision Hi-Tech Training & Expo in Kansas City, Hunt Demarest sits down with Lisa Coyle and Sam Freeman from Promotive — the auto industry's leading recruiting firm — to break down the real reasons shops are losing candidates before the first interview ends.

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.

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?

Send us Fan MailWhy You Know What to Do But Still Don't Do It (Nervous System + Self-Sabotage Explained)In this episode, I'm talking about something that almost stopped me from recording this…That feeling of “I know what to do… I'm just not doing it.”If that's ever been you, this will land.I walk through what was actually going on for me behind the resistance, and how understanding your nervous system and your drivers changes everything when it comes to consistency and follow-through.Here's the truth:It's not lazinessIt's not a lack of disciplineYou're not brokenYour system is trying to protect youAnd when the strategy doesn't match how you're wired…you'll resist it every timeWe get into:• Why you know what to do but still don't do it• Why consistency feels so hard• What “self-sabotage” actually is• How your drivers shape your decisions• Why forcing structure can backfire• How to start working with yourself instead of against yourselfTake this with you:Maybe you're not the problemMaybe the way you've been trying to do things just doesn't work for youIf this resonates, I created a guide to help you start seeing how you're wired:
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
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.
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
