August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie's astrology readings, classes, and current offerings.Follow Stevie on Instagram: @farmhousemoonSubscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonSOLAR ECLIPSE VISIBILITYPath of Totality: Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal, Russia:Partial Eclipse Regions:North America: Parts of Alaska and northeastern Canada/U.S. see a minor partial eclipse. i.e., New York will have about 9% coverage and Detroit roughly 3%.Europe + Africa: Much of Europe and northwestern Africa experience a deep partial eclipse near sunset Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

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.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe retreats create transformation in a way that's difficult to replicate in everyday life—and why that insight became the foundation for my very first retreat.We'll explore why stepping away from your normal environment makes unconscious patterns easier to recognize, how overfunctioning disconnects us from ourselves, and why reconnecting with joy, curiosity, and play isn't frivolous—it's an essential part of healing.I also share how my own retreat experiences changed my life, why I intentionally designed this retreat differently, and how three months of integration coaching helps create lasting change instead of letting the experience become just another beautiful memory.In this episode, we discuss:Why changing your environment changes your perspectiveThe hidden ways overfunctioning disconnects you from yourselfWhy retreats make unconscious patterns easier to recognizeReconnecting with the parts of yourself buried beneath responsibilityHow Human Design helps you navigate the “messy middle” of changeWhy nervous system safety—not willpower—is what creates lasting transformationWhy this retreat includes three months of integration afterward

If you've ever caught yourself wondering who you actually are underneath the anxiety, the people pleasing, or the version of you that shows up to keep everyone else comfortable, this episode is for you.I break down what a sense of self actually is, why complex trauma gets in the way of building one, and what it looks like to start forming it now, as an adult. That means looking at three capacities trauma tends to disrupt: knowing yourself, expressing yourself, and experiencing yourself, and a few grounded, body-based ways to start reconnecting with each one.In this episode:What a sense of self actually is, and why it's built through experience, not something you're born with fully formedWhy survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, or fawning aren't fixed personality traits, they're predictions your nervous system learned to keep you safeThe three capacities complex trauma most often disrupts: knowing yourself, expressing yourself, and experiencing yourselfWhy healing this is often less about finding yourself and more about forming yourselfThanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Share your thoughts with us (click here)In this episode, Frida explores what it really means to trust your own way in business and life. In a world full of strategies, opinions, and advice, it can be easy to lose touch with your own inner knowing. But sustainable businesses aren't built by following someone else's path; they're built by learning to trust your own.Frida shares how to recognise the difference between trust and fear, why it's easy to outsource our power, and how reconnecting with your body can help you make decisions that feel deeply aligned.This is a gentle reminder that your path doesn't need to look like anyone else's.In this episode:Why there is no perfect strategyThe difference between trust and fear in the bodyHow we unintentionally outsource our powerUsing mentors, intuition and AI without losing yourselfWhy confusion isn't a sign you're failingA simple practice to reconnect with your inner trustReflection question:Where am I not trusting myself?If this conversation resonates with you, Frida would love to hear your reflections.Join the RevolutionThe Healing Business Revolution Community opens this September.If you're ready to build a business that's more meaningful, sustainable, and true to who you are, I'd love to welcome you.Join the Founding Member Waitlist here: https://www.fridakabo.com/healing-business-community****The Healing Business Revolution Community opens in September.

Have you ever heard yourself say "Sure!"... while every part of you was screaming "Absolutely not."You promised yourself you wouldn't text him.You wouldn't overcommit.You wouldn't rescue everyone.You wouldn't have sex just to keep the peace.You wouldn't keep saying yes when your body was begging you to say no.And then... you did it anyway.If you've ever walked away from a conversation wondering, "Why do I keep doing this?" this episode is for you.Today, we're unpacking why saying yes when you really mean no has so little to do with willpower—and so much to do with old survival strategies, nervous system patterns, and the deep fear that disappointing someone might cost you love, safety, or belonging.Inside this episode, we talk about:Why boundaries feel hardest with the people you rely on mostHow divorce guilt fuels people-pleasing and self-abandonmentThe surprising ways this shows up with your ex, your kids, dating, work, and even yourselfWhy awareness alone isn't enough to change your patternsHow to start rebuilding self-trust—one honest "no" at a timeBecause healing after divorce isn't just learning to say no to other people.It's finally learning to stop saying no to yourself.

How yoga philosophy helps us love difficult people without abandoning ourselves.How do we keep our hearts open when someone has hurt us?And how do we practice love without pretending something is okay when it is not?In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we continue the conversation from Part 1 of Loving When It Feels Hard and go deeper into what happens when difficult relationships become truly hurtful.This episode is not about spiritual bypassing. It is not about pretending you are not angry, hurt, resentful, or grieving. And it is not about abandoning yourself in the name of being loving or spiritual.Instead, this episode explores how yoga philosophy can help us stay connected to love while also honoring our truth, setting boundaries, feeling our emotions, and protecting our peace.We talk about ahimsa, or non-harming, and why non-harming must include yourself. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is set a clear boundary, create distance, speak the truth, or even release a relationship that continues to cause harm.We also explore viveka, or discernment, as the practice of seeing clearly what a moment requires. Love does not always look soft from the outside. Sometimes love looks like firmness. Sometimes it looks like a boundary. Sometimes it looks like refusing to participate in a harmful pattern.This episode also moves into vairagya, or non-attachment, especially when we want someone else to change. We can love someone, hope for their healing, and model another way of being without attaching our peace to whether or not they are willing to evolve.And finally, we explore forgiveness, anger, grief, and upeksha, or equanimity. Forgiveness is not excusing what happened. It is not rushing past pain. It is not saying something was okay when it was not. Forgiveness is a process of telling the truth, feeling what is underneath the anger, and eventually releasing the hope that the past could have been different.This is deep spiritual work.It asks us to practice svadhyaya, or self-study, by looking honestly at our own reactions, triggers, wounds, patterns, and responsibilities. Even when someone else is wrong, our healing still belongs to us.If you are navigating a painful or complicated relationship, this episode is an invitation to return to your center, tell the truth, set the boundary, feel what is real, and reach for the highest branch of loving-kindness available to you.Not perfect love.Not forced forgiveness.Not self-abandonment.But the kind of love that keeps your heart open without letting harm continue.In This Episode, We ExploreWhy loving someone does not mean abandoning yourselfThe difference between spirituality and spiritual bypassingWhy pretending you are not hurt or angry can become a form of self-harmHow ahimsa, or non-harming, must include yourselfWhy boundaries can be an expression of loveHow love does not always look gentle from the outsideWhat viveka, or discernment, teaches us about taking right actionWhy we cannot force another person to changeHow vairagya, or non-attachment, helps us release our grip on someone else's evolutionWhy forgiveness should never be rushedHow anger can point us toward grief, hurt, shame, fear, or sadness underneathWhy forgiveness is not excusing harm or letting someone off the hookHow svadhyaya, or self-study, helps us see our wounds and triggers clearlyWhat it means to reach for the highest branch of loving-kindnessHow upeksha, or equanimity, helps us choose peace without denying painYoga Philosophy Concepts in This EpisodeAhimsaAhimsa means non-harming. In this episode, we explore why non-harming must include yourself. Staying in harmful patterns, denying your emotions, or pretending something is okay when it is not can become a form of self-harm.VivekaViveka means discernment or clear seeing. It is the ability to pause, return to your center, and see what the moment actually requires. Sometimes the loving response is softness. Sometimes it is truth. Sometimes it is a firm boundary.VairagyaVairagya means non-attachment. In difficult relationships, this can mean loving someone, hoping for their healing, and modeling another way without attaching your peace to whether or not they choose to change.SvadhyayaSvadhyaya means self-study. It is the practice of honestly observing your thoughts, reactions, wounds, patterns, and triggers so you can see where healing is needed and return to greater freedom.UpekshaUpeksha means equanimity. It is the ability to remain steady, grounded, and clear even in the presence of pain, complexity, or difficult emotions. Equanimity allows us to choose peace without denying what happened.Reflection Questions From This EpisodeWhere am I confusing love with self-abandonment?What emotions have I been pretending are not there?Is there a boundary I need to set in order to practice non-harming toward myself?Am I hoping someone else will change before I allow myself to feel peace?What am I still attached to that is keeping me on an emotional rollercoaster?What is underneath my anger?Is there grief, hurt, sadness, fear, or shame asking to be seen?What wound in me may have been touched by this relationship?What is my responsibility in my own healing?What is the highest branch of loving-kindness I can reach for right now?What would help me return to equanimity?Gentle Practice From This EpisodeThe next time you feel anger, resentment, or hurt rising in a difficult relationship, pause before reacting.Take a few slow breaths.Place one hand over your heart if that feels supportive.Then ask yourself:What am I really feeling beneath the anger?What boundary would protect my peace?What is mine to heal?What is not mine to carry?What would love look like here if love included me too?You do not have to force forgiveness.You do not have to pretend you are okay.Just begin with honesty.That is svadhyaya.That is self-study.That is the beginning of freedom.About Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

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

How many times have you looked back at a decision and thought, "I knew it from the beginning"?Not because you didn't know what to do.Because you overrode the part of you that already did.In this episode, I unpack one of the most quietly expensive patterns I see in high-achieving women. The habit of outsourcing your own knowing. Looking for more proof. Asking for one more opinion. Talking yourself out of the signal that was there from the very beginning.We explore why self-trust isn't about confidence or certainty. It's about learning to honor yourself even when doubt is present. Because every time you override your own knowing, you're not just delaying a decision. You're weakening the relationship you have with yourself.If you've ever found yourself saying, "I knew it," after it was too late, this episode will help you understand why that pattern exists and how to finally begin changing it.What You'll HearWhy self-trust is not actually a confidence problemThe difference between self-trust and self-certaintyWhat the "override loop" is and how it quietly disconnects you from yourselfWhy you keep looking for more proof when you already know the answerHow childhood experiences teach us to stop trusting our own voiceWhy honesty builds self-trust more than getting the decision rightThe personal story that changed my relationship with trusting myself foreverThe simple three-step practice for rebuilding self-trust one decision at a timeWhy women who trust themselves naturally become magneticOne Line to Sit With"Self-trust is not the absence of doubt."Think about one decision you've been sitting on.Not the one everyone else has an opinion about.The one where, deep down, you already know.Notice where you feel it in your body.Ask yourself one simple question:What does this signal need from me right now?Then honor it.Even if it's one small step.Because every time you choose your own knowing over the override loop, you strengthen the relationship you have with yourself.Clip-Worthy Moments"When was the last time you listened to yourself and actually acted on it?""It's not a confidence problem. It's a pattern problem.""Self-trust is not the absence of doubt.""You do know what's best for you.""You cannot shift what you can't see. But once you see it, you absolutely can shift it.""The pattern protected you. And now it's the very thing that's keeping you from the life that you say you want.""It costs you more than the wrong decision. It costs you the relationship with yourself.""Honesty is the foundation. Not accuracy.""When you're not at war with yourself anymore, you're magnetic.""You're not broken for struggling to trust yourself. It's a pattern. And patterns can shift."Want To Go Deeper?If this episode helped you recognize your own override loop, imagine what becomes possible when you can see the patterns beneath every decision you make.That's exactly why I created The Mirror™.It's an AI-powered self-discovery experience built on The Unblocked Method™ that helps you uncover the hidden patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions so you can stop repeating them and start trusting yourself again.Mentioned in this EpisodeThe Mirror™The Unblocked Method™The Unblocked Women's CollectiveIf This Hit You in The ChestSave this episode for the next time you catch yourself asking everyone else before listening to yourself.Then send it to the woman who's tired of second-guessing what she already knows.ConnectInstagram: @its.amysandersWebsite: www.amysanders.coThe Mirror™: https://amysanders.co/mirrorThe Unblocked Women's Collective: https://amysanders.co/collectiveEmail: support@amysanders.co

Krishna Kaliannan wanted to start a tech company but failed at every attempt. On the side, he was teaching himself how to cook with high-protein, low-sugar ingredients. Not just out of interest, but out of necessity. As a teenager, Krishna had been diagnosed with diabetes and epilepsy, meaning he adopted a keto diet long before it was trendy. Krishna's home experiments with pea powder and monk fruit eventually became Catalina Crunch, one of the country's most popular high-protein, low-carb breakfast cereals and snacks. In this episode, Krishna shares how a life-changing health condition sparked an obsession with healthy baking— and a brand that reimagined snacking.What You'll LearnHow to turn a health challenge into a business opportunity The art and science of baking with esoteric ingredientsWhen to trust partners and when it's best to take charge yourselfWhy the DTC model is great for some industries and disastrous for othersTimestamps:00:06:16 - Dealing with diabetes and epilepsy as a college student00:12:38 - What Krishna learns from his early failures in tech00:22:43 - The first, low-sugar cocoa puffs: “Rocks that tasted like soil.” 00:27:36 - His homemade cereal gets good enough to sell00:32:42 - Naming the brand: classy alliteration and a nod to a Will Ferrell movie 00:44:51 - Learning to make cereal like the pros at Texas A&M00:54:43 - Krishna moves from NYC to Indiana to make sure the cereal is made right01:01:04 - Whole Foods, Costco, and becoming a household brandThis episode was researched and produced by Chris Maccini with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

In this episode, Flo sits down with Molly Clark, a licensed massage therapist and Made Good grad, to talk about something most of us only think about as a spa-day treat: massage therapy. Together they unpack the Catholic perspective on the healing power of touch — why your body holds onto stress, trauma, and memory, and how the right kind of body work can help you finally release it. They also tackle the question on every Catholic woman's mind before booking: how do I make sure there's no New Age "woo-woo" in the room?In this episode:Why "the body will whisper before it screams" — and how to catch the signals before you can't even walkThe surprising truth that trauma and memory get stored in your fascia (not just your mind)How to vet a massage therapist as a Catholic and spot the red flags: Reiki, chakras, and crystal bedsWhat chronic stress actually looks like under a therapist's hands — even when you can't feel it yourselfWhy "everyone has a therapist, but nobody lets anyone touch their body" — and what you're missingThe freeing reminder that your body already knows how to heal; you just have to stop forcing itCONNECT WITH MOLLY:Booking LinkEmail: mollyclarkmassage@gmail.comCONNECT WITH FLORENCIA:Ready to Go All-In On Your Glow Up? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to The Made Good Method and Work With Our Team⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

She's not waiting for a sign either. She's just waiting for you to stop asking the wrong part of yourself for bloody permission.This week I'm getting personal, because I think this is one of the most important things I'll say on this podcast. Readiness isn't a feeling. It's a decision. And until you understand the difference, you'll keep waiting for something that was never coming.I talk about:Why the survival self will never give you the green light, and what to do insteadWhat the moment of knowing actually felt like, and why I still argued with it for monthsHow I built this business through chronic illness and why "I'll do it when things settle down" is the most expensive sentence you'll ever say to yourselfWhy the leap isn't the reinvention.

How to Stop Caring What Other People ThinkWhat happens when someone criticises you, copies your work, or makes you question yourself?In this episode of The Manifest Movement, I'm sharing some very real stories from my own week that brought up confidence, self-worth, people pleasing, boundaries, and the fear of judgment.Because here's the truth:Manifestation doesn't start with your vision board.It starts with how you think about yourself.You can repeat affirmations all day long, but if you're constantly doubting yourself, seeking validation, worrying about what other people think, or allowing criticism to derail your confidence, you'll keep creating the same reality.In this episode, I share the mindset shifts I use when negative thoughts spiral, how I handle criticism online, why people pleasing can become a major manifestation block, and the simple techniques I use to get back into alignment.In This Episode:Why manifestation always starts with self-worthThe connection between confidence and what you attract into your lifeHow to stop seeking validation from other peopleWhat to do when criticism triggers youMy favourite mindset tool for interrupting negative thought spiralsWhy people pleasing is keeping so many people stuckThe importance of boundaries in relationships and businessHow to handle difficult colleagues, workplace dynamics, and online negativityWhen to let things go—and when to stand up for yourselfWhy confidence is built through action, not perfectionKey Takeaways:You don't manifest what you want. You manifest who you are.Your worth is not determined by someone else's opinion of you.Negative thoughts are more damaging than a lack of positive thoughts.People pleasing often comes from a lack of self-belief and boundaries.Not every criticism deserves your energy.Sometimes confidence looks like letting it go.Sometimes confidence looks like speaking up.The more you trust yourself, the less you need validation from others.My Favourite Reminder From This EpisodeYour life changes when you stop asking, "What do they think of me?" and start asking, "What do I think of me?"If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that their worth isn't up for debate.

One sober living home can out-cash-flow five traditional rentals. Jim Bode breaks down exactly how.Jim Bode has been a real estate investor for 25 years. When COVID hit and tenants stopped paying, he discovered sober living homes and built a six-figure operation running three properties in 10 to 15 hours a week. Today he coaches investors and operators through Group Home Accelerator on how to do the same.In this episode, Jim walks through the full model from start to finish:Why renting beds instead of bedrooms changes the cash flow math entirelyThe four-bedroom minimum buy box and the two-beds-per-room ruleHow state and federal funding covers 2 to 6 months of rent per residentADA protections that shield sober living operators from zoning pushbackHow to find the right operator if you want the cash flow without running the homes yourselfWhy turnover is a feature of this model, not a problemJim also shares the story of a resident who came in missing his front teeth and left two years later with a new smile, a truck, and a drive back home to the family he hadn't seen since he was 14.Guest: Jim Bode, founder of Group Home AcceleratorLearn more: grouphomeaccelerator.com

I want to ask you a question. If someone was teaching you how to build a business doing $15,000,000 per year... And all you had to do was drive one hour there and one hour back... Would you make the drive?Recently, a friend of mine who does over $15 million per year in revenue hosted a free networking event at his office. Free training. Free networking. Free pizza. A room full of entrepreneurs. A chance to learn, connect, collaborate, and grow.And one of the responses we received was: "Are you doing anything closer to me? I don't really want to drive an hour."That response got me thinking... What are we actually willing to trade for growth? Because success isn't usually about finding some secret shortcut. It's about being willing to do the things most people won't.In this episode, we talk about:Why successful people get in the right roomsThe power of mentorshipLearning new skillsInvesting in yourselfWhy comfort keeps people stuckThe relationship between discomfort and growthHow entrepreneurs create extraordinary resultsWhy your future is built one decision at a timeThe uncomfortable decisions that often create the biggest breakthroughsBecause here's what I've learned: The people getting extraordinary results are usually willing to do things ordinary people won't. They're willing to drive the extra hour. Read the extra chapter. Attend the event. Learn the skill. Hire the coach. Take the risk. Stay a little later. Work a little harder. And over time, those decisions compound.The question is... What are YOU willing to trade to get where you want to go? What's one thing you're willing to invest more time into over the next 30 days?

As an ambitious woman who feels stuck, the problem often isn't that you're not doing enough (if anything, chances are, you're probably overdoing it, lol).In today's episode, we're diving into the hidden reason so many ambitious women struggle to receive more love, money, success, support, and abundance — even after doing all the inner work.We're talking about self-trust, hyper-independence, over-effort in dating & business, and why constantly trying to fix yourself may actually be the thing standing between you and the life you're trying to create.We explore:Why self-trust is more important than confidenceThe real reason why receiving feels unsafe for so many womenHow hyper-independence blocks love, support, and abundanceThe hidden addiction to self-improvement and "fixing" yourselfWhy healing can become another form of perfectionismThe difference between understanding yourself and trusting yourselfHow over-efforting shows up in business, dating, and relationshipsWhy ambitious women often struggle to enjoy the success they've worked so hard to createThe capacity conversation nobody is havingWhy your next level may require less control, not moreHow to become the woman who allows life to meet her halfwayIf you've ever felt exhausted from carrying everything alone, constantly chasing the next breakthrough, or wondering why success still doesn't feel as fulfilling as you expected — this episode is for you.—In this episode, I discuss:00:00 - 05:19 The struggle to receive05:20 - 08:27 Self trust vs confidence11:19 -  13:58 Healing vs. fixing yourself13:59 - 16:26 The purpose of hyper-independence16:27 - 19:32 The importance of expressing yourself19:33 - 22:02 Healing as a journey - not an end goal22:03 - 24:52 The power that comes from trusting yourself24:53 - 27:18 Enjoying life beyond achievement27:19 - 33:02 Capacity to receive & letting go of control33:03 - 37:23 Becoming the woman who receives life—Similar episodes: Ep 160: The hidden cost of being a 'bossbabe' - and the #1 lie women are told about Feminine Energy EP 163: The real reason you keep sabotaging what you say you want – how to stay ‘on track'EP 152: How I am upgrading each aspect of my life this year (+ how you can, too!)—Similar episodes: ⁠Ep 160: The hidden cost of being a 'bossbabe' - and the #1 lie women are told about Feminine Energy ⁠⁠Ep 157: The Art of Self-Mastery: What it really takes to thrive in life, love, leadership & wealth⁠⁠EP 164: How to be 'that girl' who always gets what she wants - fusing 'IT girl' x 'magnetic queen' energy⁠—I was recently interviewed by my friend Lisa, host of the Real Money Podcast!

If you've ever walked away from a mastermind, a coaching call, or a well-meaning conversation with a colleague feeling more confused than when you started — this episode is going to name something you've probably been living with for a long time. It's not that there's too little advice out there. It's that most of us have never stopped to ask whether the advice we're taking is actually right for us, our business, and where we are right now.My guest today is Sandra Booker, founder of Sidekick COO and creator of Scale Society, a fractional COO who works with established online service providers to find the single constraint costing them the most time and money — and then designs the systems and team structures to solve it. Sandra is one of the most well-respected operators in the online business world, and this conversation is exactly as good as I knew it would be.What Sandra and I get into goes way beyond operations and systems. We talk about how to know when you actually need to hire someone versus when you need a better process, the art of pausing before reacting when urgency sets in, and Sandra's concept of "curating your room" — being intentional about whose voices you let influence your decisions, and why the most impressive person in the room isn't always the right one to listen to. Sandra also shares a super cool AI tool that she built and has been using in her own business that I cannot wait for you to hear about — and that I think is going to change how a lot of you are using AI.In this episode we talk about:Why the "self-made" entrepreneur is a myth — and what the business owners who actually build something have in common that nobody talks aboutHow to tell the difference between needing a team member, needing a system, or needing to pause and look at what's already in your businessThe real cost of making decisions from fear, urgency, or comparison — and what to do insteadSandra's concept of curating your room — why your business bestie might be exactly the wrong person to consult when you have a hard decision to makeThe AI tool Sandra built called “The Advisory Board” — and how you can do the same for yourselfWhy the right move in a revenue dip is almost always to look inside your existing business first — and what to look forHow to evaluate advice you're hearing — whether it's from a podcast, a mastermind, or someone making big revenue claims onlineYour next best business decision is probably not going to come from someone else's strategy. It's going to come from getting clearer on what's actually happening inside your own business — and this episode is going to help you do that!Design the room your decisions deserve with Sandra's AI Boardroom Blueprint.

In this Q&A episode, I answer powerful questions about self-love, execution, and consistency.I get into why self-love is far more than a feeling—it's how you nourish yourself, speak to yourself, challenge yourself, tell yourself the truth, and protect what matters through boundaries.I also share why so many people struggle to execute on the things they care about most, and how fear, uncertainty, identity, and capacity often sit beneath procrastination.And finally, I go into consistency—why most people fall off, how to stop starting over, and the mindset shifts that make lasting change possible.If you're ready to strengthen your self-trust, raise your standards, and become the person who follows through, this episode is for you.In this episode:What self-love actually looks like in everyday lifeWhy self-respect and self-love are deeply connectedHow nourishing your body strengthens your relationship with yourselfWhy doing hard things builds confidence and self-trustThe hidden role of self-talk in personal growthHow honesty creates empowerment and self-respectInternal and external boundaries as acts of self-loveWhat's really stopping you from taking actionHow identity influences execution and follow-throughWhy waiting to feel ready keeps people stuckThe connection between consistency and identityHow micro-actions create lasting results⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADS

If part one cracked it open, part two goes deeper.This is the second installment of a live studio conversation recorded in front of a real audience at Good Vibe Studios in Phoenix, Arizona and the room is fully in it by now.In part two, the conversation gets personal. Haley shares her own experience of being let go from a job (not once, but twice) and what it took to finally stop running from the lesson and sit in the stillness long enough to hear it. Matt opens up about a relationship that was heading toward marriage, the moment something felt off, and what it looks like to practice self-trust even when you really, really want to override it.This is the episode where self-trust stops being a concept and starts becoming a practice.In this episode we get into:Why we override our intuition even when we already know and how to close that gapThe difference between self-sabotage and healthy self-reflection when things go sidewaysHow to know if something is from God or from fear and what to do when you're not ready to hear the answerWhat it means to be self-aware even when you're not listening to yourselfWhy self-regulation is the foundation of every relationship you have — with your spouse, your business, your team, and yourselfThe nervous system as a navigation system and why women are wired to know more than the world gives them credit forWhat it looks like to actually process hard seasons instead of just moving past themThis is part two of three.

Nobody talks enough about what happens before the breakthrough.The truth is, leveling up in business often doesn't feel exciting at first. It feels uncomfortable. Messy. Emotional. Sometimes it even feels like your entire life and business are unraveling.In this deeply honest solo episode, Lianne Kim opens up about the hidden emotional experience of growth and expansion — the moments where the things that once excited you suddenly feel draining, where your business feels “off,” and where you begin questioning who you even are anymore.She shares personal stories from her own entrepreneurial journey, including the grief of outgrowing former versions of herself, the discomfort of transitions, and the surprising signs that often appear right before a major up-level.This episode is both a permission slip and a roadmap for any woman who feels stuck, disconnected, restless, or uncertain about what comes next.Because sometimes things aren't falling apart.Sometimes they're falling away so something better can emerge.In this episode, you'll discover:Why major up-levels in business often feel emotionally uncomfortable at firstThe subtle signs that you're evolving into a new version of yourselfWhy irritation, boredom, and feeling “off” can actually be powerful cluesThe grief that can come with outgrowing old identities and old ways of workingWhy transitions feel so uncomfortable — even when they're leading somewhere beautifulHow to create space for clarity and reconnect with your bigger visionThe power of mini sabbaticals, reflection time, and uninterrupted inner workThe exact journaling prompts Lianne uses when she's preparing for a next-level shiftWhy support, mentorship, and guidance matter during seasons of expansionTimestamps:‌ ‌00:00 – Why the next level often feels like everything is falling apart01:00 – The emotional signs you're about to up-level03:00 – Why growth can feel like anxiety, burnout, or depression04:00 – Feeling disconnected from the version of yourself you used to be05:00 – Irritation, frustration, and protecting your energy differently07:00 – Why the things that once excited you may no longer feel aligned08:00 – Grieving former versions of yourself and your business09:00 – Feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of what comes next11:00 – Why transitions are deeply uncomfortable (and completely normal)12:00 – Lianne's story about her mother's major life transition at 8114:00 – The awkward “in-between” phase before your next identity emerges16:00 – Reflecting on the hustle energy of early entrepreneurship18:00 – Why discomfort can be a sign that something beautiful is unfolding19:00 – The importance of creating space to hear yourself think20:00 – Lianne's personal mini sabbatical practice and how she resets22:00 – Why asking for support is not selfish24:00 – The power of getting out of your normal environment26:00 – Why retreats and masterminds are different from true inner work28:00 – The journaling and reflection prompts Lianne uses before every up-level33:00 – The first powerful question: “If anything were possible…”37:00 – What's working, what's not working, and noticing the clues41:00 – The final question: “What needs to shift?”43:00 – Why mentorship can accelerate your growth and clarity47:00 – The truth about entrepreneurship, discomfort, and expansion‌Links mentioned:Book a complimentary strategy session: https://www.liannekim.com/ 10 Powerful Journal Prompts episodeCome explore one of my least expensive coaching programs ever.

What if the stories you've dismissed as “not important enough” are actually the ones your audience needs most?Erin Mark and I explore why storytelling is the bridge between expertise and transformation and why audiences connect far more deeply with emotion, struggle, and humanity than with information alone. Erin shares how she took her deeply personal experience living with cystic fibrosis and transformed it into a keynote message about resilience, uncertainty, identity, and moving forward through change.We also talk about the surprising challenge many women face: not recognizing the power of their own stories because they've lived with them for so long.In this episode, we discuss:How to “universalize” your personal story so others see themselves in itWhy many women struggle to identify their most impactful storiesErin's “Story, Struggle, Solution” frameworkHow coaches can help uncover stories and themes you can't always see yourselfWhy you do not need a dramatic life story to become a compelling speakerHow storytelling can improve podcast interviews, presentations, and thought leadershipThe importance of becoming the messenger your audience needs at exactly the right momentWe also share details about our new Story Scoping coaching package and our upcoming in-person workshop in Orlando!About My Guest: At 35, Erin's life was coming to an end. She had entered end life stage cystic fibrosis: her lungs were failing, she was dying, and time was running out. While most people were training for their next promotion or milestone, she was training to die. And then, at the very last moment, everything changed – a breakthrough medication saved her life. That moment forced Erin into her most important pivot yet: learning how to live again. Her identity had been built around survival. Now, she had to rebuild her purpose, reshape her career, and discover what it meant to truly live. What she discovered is this: pivoting isn't a one-time act, it's a repeatable skill. Whether it's a reorg, a layoff, a leadership shift, or a personal loss, every “before and after” moment is a pivot point and it requires a new kind of leadership. Perfect for corporate teams, associations, and leadership conferences, Erin's keynotes are more than inspiration. They're a mindset reset and a tactical playbook for anyone navigating change or facing an uncertain next chapter.About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

 "Your life is a garden and whatever you cultivate is what springs up, and if you don't pull out certain weeds, it ends up choking out the good stuff." My good friend, Dr. Word Smith is back for the third time. He flew into Philly, we sat down with zero agenda, and what came out was one of the most honest, layered conversations I've had on this show about relationships, childhood wounds, codependency, Buddhism, karma, and what it actually takes to change.We get into why intimate relationships are the sharpest mirror we have for our unprocessed childhood material, and why most of us don't even have language for what we didn't receive growing up, only a feeling that something was missing. Word shares his own journey through toxic shame, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and what it looked like to actually move through it over 25 years of real inner work. We also dive into Buddhism, the concept of seed planting, why just changing your thoughts doesn't work, and why the feelings and the body have to be part of the equation.Then we go deep into codependency, the slow, invisible way it builds, how it rewards you just enough to keep you stuck, and what it means to finally hit the wall where continuing the old way is no longer an option. We talk about the container: what it means to have a safe space where your body knows it can finally feel, and why that safety isn't a luxury, it's the actual mechanism of change. We close with a tease: we may be co-facilitating a retreat this fall. Stay tuned.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy intimate relationships trigger us more than anything elseThe moment Word finally understood what toxic shame wasHow to trace shame back to childhood: what questions to ask yourselfWhy affirmations alone don't work, and what you're missing when you skip the feelings and bodyBuddhism, karma, and seed plantingCodependency: a survival mechanism that stops serving youThe perimenopause layer: why women in their 40s suddenly can't tolerate the old patterns anymoreSelf-abandonment disguised as being a good mom, wife, partner, and how to start seeing itThe container: why your body knows when it's safe to feel, and why that space is the key to processingFall retreat announcement.

What happens when you stop treating mindset like fluffy self-help bullshit… and actually start embodying it?In this episode of the Embodied Baddie Podcast, I'm joined by boutique owner and absolute powerhouse Gretchen Hilley for a conversation about business growth, nervous system shifts, identity work, and what it really looks like to build massive success without apologizing for it.Gretchen shares how she went from being a teacher to building a wildly successful boutique doing $800K–$1M months with a lean team — and why none of it started with “better strategy.”It started with changing the way she thought, felt, and showed up.We talk about the difference between repeating affirmations and actually believing you're the kind of woman who gets to have the life and business she wants. We also dive into the uncomfortable reality that sometimes your growth requires outgrowing old thought patterns, environments, and even people.This episode is part mindset, part embodiment, part permission slip.And honestly? It's one of those conversations that will probably have you side-eyeing your own limiting beliefs by the end of it.In This Episode We Talk About:Gretchen's transition from teacher to boutique ownerThe mindset shifts that helped scale her business in a massive wayWhy affirmations don't work if your body doesn't believe themThe difference between mindset work and embodiment workBreaking patterns of negativity and scarcityLearning to receive success without guilt or minimizing yourselfWhy rest, hobbies, and intentional downtime actually matterTurning jealousy into inspiration instead of self-sabotageBuilding a business that supports your life — not consumes itOne of the Biggest Takeaways:You can't build an expansive life while constantly operating from contraction.Growth isn't just about strategy.It's about capacity.It's about identity.It's about becoming the version of yourself who can actually hold the success you say you want.Connect with Gretchen:Shop Rolling Ranch BoutiqueFollow Gretchen on Instagram: @GretchenHilleyIf this episode hit for you, screenshot it, share it to Instagram, and tag us so we can see what landed most.And if you're sitting there realizing your business growth requires a deeper internal shift too… welcome.You're exactly who this work is for.

Busy doesn't always mean effective.In Episode 215 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, Chris sits down with Pastor Daryl for a conversation every pastor—especially bivocational leaders—needs to hear.Because one of the biggest mistakes churches make when trying to grow… is adding more.More programs.More events.More meetings.More pressure.But growth rarely comes from doing more things halfway well. It comes from getting focused on the few things that matter most.This episode dives into what Chris calls “mission critical” leadership—the ability to streamline your church around the core activities that actually create momentum.Here's some of what they unpack:Why churches often stay stuck because they're too busy doing everythingHow bivocational pastors can protect their time and energy without sacrificing growthThe importance of creating a strong Sunday experience before adding more ministriesWhy engagement matters more than endless programmingPractical ways to structure small groups without overwhelming your scheduleHow to delegate effectively instead of carrying everything yourselfWhy boundaries at home are essential for pastors and ministry familiesOne of the most important moments in the conversation:“Instead of the 28 things we do okay… what are the four things we need to do really well?”Chris also shares practical insight on protecting your family while leading in ministry—especially when church life and family life start blending together.This conversation is honest, practical, and incredibly helpful for pastors trying to lead sustainably without burning out.

If you're a woman over 50 building a coaching business and you've been wondering why it feels harder than you expected, this video is the honest conversation you've been needing. I'm not selling you a shortcut. I'm telling you what it actually takes so you stop feeling like something is wrong with you when the work shows up.If you're new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid. I'm a Business Growth and Life Coach and the founder of the Business Building Boutique. For over two decades, I've helped women learn how to become coaches, get clients, grow their businesses, and create meaningful income doing work they love.I went online thinking it was going to be a money machine. I was eighteen years into running a business and I still believed somehow that "online coach" meant the income would just show up. It didn't. And the gap between what I expected and what was actually required almost stopped me. I don't want that for you.In this episode, we'll walk through:Why building an online coaching business is no different than building a brick and mortar business (and what that means for your timeline)The mindset traps that keep coaches stuck in niche land forever and how to spot them in yourselfWhy bravery is the real skill behind every successful coaching businessHow to use an evidence bank to push back against the nonsense in your headWhy your business is 100% your responsibility and what changes the moment you accept thatHow to honestly assess your capacity when you've got grandkids, aging parents, or a full time jobWhat it actually feels like on the other side when you refuse to quitThis isn't a feel-good pep talk. It's the truth about what it takes, why most coaches give up, and what the women who make it have in common. If you've been wondering whether you have what it takes, this video will give you a real answer.Want me to teach you strategies to get coaching clients without paid ads?

There's a quiet tension a lot of women are carrying right now.The pressure to keep up. Stay relevant. Adapt faster. Do more. Become more.And somewhere in the middle of all of it, many are starting to ask a different question: What if success isn't supposed to feel this exhausting?In this episode, we unpack the invisible scripts so many women inherit around ambition, achievement, productivity, identity, and how those definitions can quietly shape the lives we build without us ever consciously choosing them.We explore:The pressure to constantly reinvent yourselfWhy so many high-achieving women feel stuck on autopilotThe difference between survival and alignmentHow ambition can become fear-driven instead of fulfillingWhat it means to imagine beyond the role you currently occupyThis conversation is for anyone who has ever felt:Burned out from constantly proving themselvesTrapped inside a version of success that no longer fitsCurious about what expansion could look like beyond titles and external validationReady to rethink what opportunity actually means in this season of lifeWe also discuss why community matters so deeply when you're trying to envision new possibilities for your life, career, leadership, or future.Because sometimes the first step toward expansion is simply realizing there are more options available to you than you previously allowed yourself to imagine.If you've been questioning your next chapter, reevaluating what success means to you, or feeling the tension between achievement and alignment, check out this episode.Support the showIf you enjoy the episode share it with a friend, leave us a review and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.

In this week's TGIM episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal realization I had after sending a vulnerable voice note to my mastermind friends. Something felt off, but not for the reasons I originally thought.On paper, everything looks successful. The business is growing, opportunities are expanding, our book launch is happening, and life is full in the best ways. But underneath it all, I could feel discomfort bubbling up, and I realized it wasn't because things were falling apart.It was because I was outgrowing an old version of myself.In this episode, I'm opening up about the uncomfortable, messy middle that happens when your standards shift and the version of you that once felt safe no longer fits anymore.We're talking about:How to recognize when you're outgrowing a past version of yourselfWhy discomfort is often a sign of expansion — not failureThe difference between fear that protects you and intuition that guides youHow people-pleasing and over-giving can keep you stuckWhy growth often requires leaving behind old identities, relationships, and patternsWhat to do when success still feels “off”The grounding practices I use before making big decisionsWhy your next level always lives on the other side of discomfortIf you've been feeling disconnected, frustrated, emotional, or unsure lately… this episode is your reminder that you may not be failing. You may simply be evolving.Sometimes growth doesn't look exciting at first. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply vulnerable But that discomfort might actually be the invitation into your next level.Tune in and ask yourself: What version of me am I finally ready to leave behind?Take our FREE quiz: https://www.myalignedpurpose.com/quiz

What if the biggest problem with “Emerging Markets” is the name?Edward Lam thinks that label has been doing the category a disservice for decades.Today, he's sitting down with Stacy to zoom out and question the category…then zoom back in to what that means for portfolios, risk, and real alpha.Edward grew up in Hong Kong, went to boarding school in the UK, and landed in EM in 2004. He had no training program or mentor, just four walls of books he was determined to read. By the time he left, he'd taught himself accounting, built a research function from scratch, and was running a fund that grew from £1M to £3.5B.Listen in to hear: How Edward built his own training program from scratch and why that became one of his biggest edgesWhat "subordinate currency regimes" means and how it changes everything we thought we knew about EM risk The tension between building something investable and staying true to the thesisWhat scaling from £1M to £3.5B actually looks like when you have to earn every rung yourselfWhy he walked away from asset management, what the gap taught him, and what brought him backMore About Edward Lam: Edward Lam entered the fund management industry in 2004 as an analyst at Emerging Markets specialist Lloyd George Management, covering Taiwan and technology. In 2007, he co-founded Somerset Capital Management, where he served as Head of Research and chaired the investment committee. In 2010, he launched Somerset's EM Dividend Growth strategy, scaling it from a ~$1.5M seed to nearly $4B AUM. Edward left Somerset in 2020, then joined Sloane Robinson in 2023, became CIO, and launched the SR Ocellus fund in 2024.In his free time, he enjoys reading about the history and philosophy of finance, including many areas that others (based on feedback) find boring.  ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

Eight hotels. Twenty-one days in New York. Sick throat. Camera cutting out. No sublet locked in.And Norense is still recording — because that's what confidence in God looks like when it stops being a concept and starts being a lifestyle.This episode is a raw, unfiltered thought dump from a hotel room in Manhattan — a real-time reminder that confidence isn't built in the comfortable moments. It's forged in the uncertain ones. Norense unpacks what it means to stay bold in who you are when everything around you is shifting, and why the moment you stop giving God thanks is the moment your confidence starts to collapse.Drawing from Romans 1, Norense reveals the dangerous connection between ingratitude and a darkened mind — and why praise isn't optional. It's protective.In this episode:Why confidence is something you hold onto — not something you throw away when obstacles comeThe Romans 1 warning: what happens to your mind when you stop giving God thanks and gloryHow nitpicking yourself into the ground is actually lowering the standard God set for how you should see yourselfWhy you're not defined by every thought that comes into your head — and what to do with the ones that try to take you downThe difference between thinking too highly of yourself and thinking too lowly — and why both are dangerousWhy trying seasons don't break you — they reveal capacity you didn't know you hadA personal inventory: sexual assault, suicidal ideation, losing loved ones, losing in sport — and why none of it disqualifies youKey Truth: "I don't know where I'm going, but I know who's with me."Key Verse: Romans 1:21 — Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.If this episode hit you:Rate the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps more homes and hearts hear this message.

After a week of seeing the pattern, Sunday asks the deepest question: what does it mean to be held by the One who always could? This episode roots integration in Psalm 139 — where being fully known is not a verdict but a gift.We've spent a week recognizing what was already working in us. The integration, the unplanned relational moments, the quiet non-reactions, the private growth no one witnessed. Sunday holds all of it in the deepest question of the week: who saw all of this?This episode is the Vertical Alignment close of Week 15: Integration Across Life. Rooted in Psalm 139, we sit with the recognition that nothing in this week — or any week — was unwitnessed. The private drift, the quiet return, the ordinary Tuesday where something shifted and no one marked it. Even there.What we hold in this episode:Psalm 139:1–16 — held deeply, not surveyedWhy being fully known precedes the work, not rewards itThe specific exhaustion of doing good work and wondering if it countedWhat it means to be seen before you were ready to explain yourselfWhy the sequence matters: seen first, held first, called forward from hereThis isn't a theology lesson. It's a homecoming. The week named what we could see. Sunday roots it in the presence that always could — before the recognition, during the drift, through the return, and into the ordinary week ahead.Today's Micro Recalibration: Read Psalm 139:1–10 slowly — not as a study, as a receiving.
