Send us a message - we'd love to hear from youYou've messed up. You know it. Your team knows it. A lot of leaders know that sinking "Oh sh!t" feeling of realizing they've done something to break their team's trust. In this episode, we dig into a real story of broken trust: the situation, the impacts, and what ultimately turned things around.We walk through the moves that reopened honest dialogue and rebuilt psychological safety; from the leader acknowledging their oops without making excuses to co-designing a repair plan with the team. You'll hear practical guidance for leaders to work through a sticky situation: prompts to surface the problem, ways to structure the repair conversation, and tools to prevent repeat breaks.Above all, this conversation emphasizes the foundation that makes repair possible: care. When people feel considered before decisions are made, they'll give you grace when you stumble and they'll stand with you as you repair.If you listen and it helps you lead with more courage and care, follow the show, save it, share it, and leave a quick review to help others find us.We want to thank the team that continues to support us in producing, editing and sharing our work.

Let's be honest: Most people don't talk honestly about what healthy relationships actually require.They talk about "being nice." About "giving people grace." About "not being too picky."But here's the truth: That's people-pleasing. And people-pleasing is dangerous.It leads to destruction. It leads to fake relationships. It leads to you giving your energy to people who don't deserve access to you.In this unapologetically honest episode, Melissa Peters breaks down her non-negotiables for healthy relationships—standards that apply to BOTH her friendships AND her marriage.If you've been tolerating mediocre relationships because you're afraid of being alone, this is your permission slip to raise your standards.What You'll Learn in This Episode:✨ Why this isn't about being nice or liked by everyone ✨ The foundation: Integrity & Honesty ✨ How to handle conflict like adults ✨ Red flags in conflict that reveal everything:✨ Emotional safety requirements ✨ Reciprocity: Why it needs to feel equal ✨ Celebration vs. Competition ✨ The "Awake" requirement ✨ The Aquarius cut-off ✨ Energy & vibe check ✨ The "dating phase" of adult friendship ✨ Why you become the sum of the 5 people you hang out with Who This Episode Is For:You've been tolerating mediocre friendships because you're afraid of being aloneYou feel like you're always the one giving in your relationshipsYou're tired of fake friends who gossip or compete instead of celebrateYou want to understand what healthy boundaries actually look likeYou've been called "too picky" or "too harsh" for having standardsYou struggle with people-pleasing and need permission to be selectiveYou're in a season of evaluating who deserves access to youYou want the same standards for friendships AND romantic relationshipsYou're ready to cut off or create distance from energy-draining peopleYou need a reminder that your standards are valid and necessaryIf you've been wondering "Am I asking for too much?"—this episode will show you that you're not. You're just finally asking for what you deserve.Connect with Melissa:✨ Instagram: @IAmMelissaPeters
Welcome back for the first episode of Soft Alchemy with Stevie Reneé, family. I recorded this in the kind of season that asks you to slow down whether you want to or not, and leaves you sitting with yourself long enough to notice what you've been [unnecessarily(?)] carrying. This is where Soft Alchemy found me: inside a stillness I didn't choose and a quiet I didn't know I needed.In this opening episode, I share the story behind Soft Alchemy—how it became a practice, a framework, and a way of meeting myself when everything around me felt uncertain. We explore the difference between rest and avoidance, the armor many of us learn to wear to survive, and what becomes possible when we soften just enough to let truth rise to the surface.This episode is a gentle reflection on:outgrowing former versions of yourselfthe stillness that arrives without permissionlearning to trust quiet seasonsremembering softness as strength — not weaknessIf you've been moving through change, release, or an in-between season—or if something in you has simply been craving a slower pace—I hope this can be a place where you feel like you can exhale.A few reflections to carry with youYou're welcome to sit with these now, or return to them later—in the shower, on a walk, while journaling, or before sleep:Where in your life is stillness already happening, even if you didn't choose it?What might that stillness be revealing about who you are beneath performance or productivity?Where does resistance show up in your body when you try to slow down — and what might it be trying to protect?If you softened just one percent more, what new strength might emerge?Take your time with these. Allow them to walk with you.MusicMad Keys — "Tea & Lemonade"Continue the journey Work with me / explore offerings:srlwellbeing.comWatch the podcast on YouTube:youtube.com/@softalchemyspaceFollow along on Instagram@softalchemyspace @srlwellbeing @steviereneewithin About this space Soft Alchemy is the evolution of my earlier work, In Case Nobody Told You.

As your nonprofit grows, your role as CEO must evolve — but what does that look like once you've built the team? In this episode, I unpack the shift from being the doer to becoming the architect of your organization's systems and success.This conversation was sparked by a powerful coaching session with a client (we'll call him Dylan) who asked the question so many leaders reach and freeze at: “If my team has it… what's left for me to do?”If you've ever felt a little lost after stepping out of the day-to-day, this one's for you. We'll walk through what it actually means to lead at the next level — and how to step into that new identity with clarity and confidence.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the CEO's role must shift as your organization scalesThe three core responsibilities of an “architect” CEOHow to coach your team without micromanagingKey Takeaways:If you're still the glue, you may have a Capacity Design Deficit — not a personal failureArchitect-level leadership means designing systems that work without youYou can (and should) lead at altitude — with clarity, visibility, and trust
New year pressure can feel like another thing you're supposed to fix about yourself. This session flips that—it's not about becoming someone else. It's about getting clear on what actually matters to you, and using sound to help your nervous system settle enough to hear yourself think.What this session is:This restorative audio session built around four resonant frequencies: C for grounding, A for inspiration, G for expression, and E for personal power. This is longer and more immersive than our standard tracks—it's active, not passive. You'll be invited to reflect, choose an intention, and let the sound help you regulate while you do it. The frequencies support nervous system coherence, which research suggests can help with focus, emotional clarity, and stress recovery. This isn't background noise—it's a practice.Best use moments:When you want to start the year (or month, or week) feeling centered instead of overwhelmedBefore a big decision or life transition when you need mental spaceAfter doomscrolling or social comparison spirals—when you need to reset your internal compassSunday night or Monday morning intention-setting instead of anxiety spiralsAnytime you're tired of performing productivity and want to reconnect with why you're doing any of thisWhen you need to hear yourself again underneath all the noiseHow to listen:Headphones strongly recommended—frequencies work better with stereo immersionFind a spot where you won't be interrupted; sit, lie down, or move gently if that helps you focusYou don't have to meditate perfectly—fidgeting, shifting, note-taking, and pausing are all fineSome people use this once to mark a moment; others return to it weekly or monthly as a check-in ritualIt's an invitation, not homework—use it when it serves youYou're already whole. This session just helps you remember that.Send us a textSupport the show

Heartsing Podcast | Weight Loss | Meditation | Future Self by Namaslayer
This episode is a full-circle moment.I'm back on the mountain that saved my life — the place where what I thought was a weight loss journey cracked open into something so much bigger.As I close out Season 3 of the MEfirst Midlife Badassery Podcast, I'm reflecting on what's changed, what hasn't, and why regaining weight doesn't mean going backwards.This episode isn't about diets. It's about identity, space, stillness, purpose, and choosing the next chapter on purpose.I talk about:Why weight loss was never the real goal — it was the doorwayWhat I discovered about myself the first time I lost 100 poundsHow regaining weight didn't erase the transformationWhy midlife weight gain doesn't mean failureThe connection between stillness, space, and geniusHow food, scrolling, and over-consuming block intuitionWhat I want my real life to look like in 2026Why community matters more than ever in midlifeThe rebirth of Slayer — wiser, steadier, and more intentionalAnd why Season 4 is about discovery, not starting overThis episode marks the end of Season 3 — and the quiet before a powerful new beginning.Season 4 kicks off next week, and we're going deeper: ✨ future self ✨ identity shifts ✨ weight loss without diet culture ✨ alter ego energy ✨ and building a life you actually want to wake up toIf you've ever felt like:You're meant for moreYour body isn't the problemOr this chapter of life is asking something different of youYou're in the right place.
Send us a textIf you're listening to this at the start of a new year feeling a bit panicked because you don't have a shiny plan, a five-year vision, or a word of the year nailed down… this episode is for you.This is not a “new year, new you” pep talk. And it's definitely not about reinventing yourself from scratch.This episode is about the messy middle. That uncomfortable, disorientating in-between phase where:You're not who you used to be (thank god)But you're not quite who you're becoming yetThe old identity doesn't fitThe new one hasn't landedAnd everyone keeps asking you “So… what's next?”In this episode, I'm breaking down what vision actually is (and why most women avoid it), why feeling lost doesn't mean you're failing, and how clarity is built inside the uncertainty, not after it.We talk about:Why vision isn't a plan, a Pinterest board, or a manifestation fantasyThe difference between identity-led vision and goal-based pressureWhy high-achieving women get stuck in survival mode instead of directionHow to create clarity when you genuinely don't know what you want yetThe emotional signs you're in an identity shift (and why that's not a bad thing)How to stop repeating the same year with different datesSimple, grounded ways to start building vision without confidence or certaintyThis episode is for you if:You feel lost, but you know something is changingYou're tired of holding everything togetherYou've outgrown your old life but don't have the next chapter mapped outYou're done surviving and ready to live with intention, even if it scares youYou don't need the full plan.You don't need all the answers.You don't need to know the final destination.You just need direction, self-trust, and the willingness to listen to who you're becoming.Because vision doesn't come after the messy middle. It's built inside it.If this episode lands and you're ready to stop drifting, stabilise your energy, and build a next chapter that actually fits who you are now, drop me a message in the deets below.Welcome to The Reinvention Era.This is where it begins.
In today's episode, I invite you into a different kind of conversation about goals, progress, and what really creates change. Not the hustle-hard, push-yourself-more kind—but the kind that asks a more powerful question:Who do I need to become in order for what I want to be inevitable?I talk about why so many capable, thoughtful women understand what they want—but get stuck in the follow-through. Why knowing the steps isn't the same as sustaining the transformation. And why the “in-between” phase—the part most people abandon—is actually where everything meaningful is happening.You'll hear how I think about progress through the Well Made Woman lens: not as a finish line to reach, but as a way of living, thinking, and relating to yourself—especially when results aren't immediately visible.This episode is for you if:You're clear on what you want, but unsure why it hasn't fully materialized yetYou're tired of motivating yourself through pressure, self-judgment, or external validationYou sense the real work isn't out there… but somewhere deeper inside youYou don't want to quit on your desires—you want to understand how to carry them differentlyIf you've been wondering whether you're off track… or simply still becoming—this conversation will help you see what's actually required to keep going.And to learn more about how The Well Made Woman Program can support you in becoming more of who you want to be, go here: https://drchavonne.com/wmw/

AT Parenting Survival Podcast: Parenting | Child Anxiety | Child OCD | Kids & Family
As parents, we want to rescue our kids from anxiety and OCD—but the truth is, some things are not within our control. And when we spend our energy trying to fix what isn't ours to fix, we burn out, lose connection with our child, and unintentionally strengthen OCD. In this episode, I break down the critical difference between what is your role and what isn't, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start creating meaningful progress for your child.You'll Learn What You Can't Do (No Matter How Hard You Try):You can't force your child to stop compulsions that don't involve youYou can't create motivation or force insightYou can't speed up their progress or prevent new OCD themes from emergingYou can't make them share every intrusive thoughtTrying to control these things only leads to power struggles and frustration—for you and your child.Then We Shift to What You Can Do (and Where True Power Lies):Educate yourself and recognize new OCD patterns earlyUnderstand co-occurring struggles that impact progressIdentify how you may be unintentionally feeding OCDLearn how to systematically pull back from accommodationsSet healthy boundaries so OCD doesn't run your homeIncentivize your child to do the work instead of doing it for themDetermine where your child is in their journey—trust, skills, or treatment—and start thereYou do have influence. You do have a role. And when you lean into the things you can control, that's when your child's growth begins.

We're getting into what is traditionally known as the busiest time of the year but here I am dedicating an episode on the poddy on why rest is more important than ever.I want you to ask yourself a gentle question: When did you learn that rest was wrong?I already know it's not consciously. You didn't wake up one day and say, hmm… I think I'll deny myself rest and build my self worth around exhausted and doing things all the timeYou more than likely absorbed it. Watching the women around you run on empty. Always giving. Always available. Always doing. You saw that “good women” didn't stop… They didn't say no. They didn't ask for support. They didn't nap or take long baths or lounge in sunlight.If you're listening I know more likely than not you want to tap more into your feminine energy and Feminine energy isn't built on depletion… it's built on overflow. Signs you have a wounded feminine energy relationship with rest So when you finally try to rest your mind is in complete resistance screaming at youYou're falling behind.You should be doing something.You haven't earned this.Everyone needs you.We can rest later, and that later keeps getting pushed out and further as things pop up.Signs you have a wounded relationship with restYou feel anxious when you're not doing something productiveYou constantly multitaskYou only rest when your body physically forces youYou come up with excuses why you can't rest right now or even laterYou can't relax without some sort of stimulation e.g. scrolling, TV, drinking, eatingYou feel guilty spending time alone, unwinding, or doing “nothing”Rest feels foreignYou don't know what to do when things get quietIf any of these resonate… I want you to put a hand on your heart.Take a breath.There is nothing wrong with you. It's because you've learnt that rest is dangerous. Maybe rest means you could be forgotten, or in trouble or unloved. You are simply a woman who learned to survive. You're not lazy or lacking discpline when it comes to rest Your nervous system remembers every moment you had to hold the world together alone. So now, when you try to soften, your body panics not because rest is wrong, but because rest was never safe before. That's not a failure. It's actually your brilliance. Your survival intelligence. The part of you that says “keep going” is the same part that once kept you safe. She protected you. She carried you. She made sure you survived in environments where softness wasn't allowed. Now she's tired. She doesn't know rest is safe yet and I want you to know: I see her. I see you. You're not lazy. You're not lacking discipline. Your nervous system doesn't know how to feel safe without being go go go all the time. The healing isn't in forcing rest. It's in teaching your body that rest is no longer a threat. Not by shaming your resistance, but by honouring it. Listening to it. Softening with it slowly. You don't need to push yourself to relax.
Ever felt like you've done everything you can and still nothing changes?
In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll discover how saw palmetto can play a valuable role in supporting hormone balance for women with PCOS. Saw palmetto is best known for its anti‑androgen properties, which reduce excess male hormones like testosterone that contribute to symptoms such as acne, unwanted hair growth, and hair thinning. You'll learn how this herbal supplement works and when it may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider as part of your PCOS management plan.What Makes Saw Palmetto Unique for Women with PCOSSaw palmetto is derived from a palm tree native to the southeastern United States, and its berries have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. In this episode, you'll learn how this herb doesn't just lower testosterone levels but rather blocks an enzyme called 5‑alpha‑reductase, which converts testosterone into its more potent form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is often the culprit behind hair loss, oily skin, acne, and excessive facial or body hair—making saw palmetto a potential natural ally for managing these common PCOS symptoms.When Saw Palmetto Might Be Right for YouYou'll discover when saw palmetto can be most helpful, typically once you've stabilized your root‑cause health through nutrition, movement, and overall hormone balance, yet still struggle with lingering androgenic symptoms. It's important to note that saw palmetto isn't suitable for those trying to conceive or during pregnancy, as it can affect hormone activity. This episode explains why it's not a fertility‑safe option and provides insight into when it can fit safely into your overall wellness plan.How Saw Palmetto Works in the BodyIn this discussion, you'll learn how saw palmetto acts gently on the hormonal system, offering a softer alternative to stronger pharmaceutical approaches. Rather than drastically lowering testosterone, it helps fine‑tune hormonal activity by preventing testosterone from converting into DHT.

Grab your coffee and let's talk about something that's probably killing your content engagement without you even realizing it. Mills dives into the dangerous trap of over-giving in your content - whether it's those epic 1000-word posts that get two likes or clarity calls where you give everything away for free. If you've ever written a post thinking "this will be so helpful" only to have it completely ignored, this episode is your wake-up call.September Wrap-Up HighlightsMills shares updates from a successful September, including being nearly fully booked (reminder: this doesn't happen all the time!) and hosting The Rebuild Room - an intimate 10-person event at the Copper Club in Guildford. Despite unexpected marble fitting disruptions (complete with drills and hoovers behind a "thick velvet curtain"), the day was transformational, focusing on vision realignment and energy audits.The Over-Giving Trap: Why More Isn't BetterThe Problem with "Giving More Equals More Value"You think you're being helpful by writing those epic, information-packed posts, but here's what's actually happening:People get used to your free helpful content and don't see a need to pay youYou're creating overwhelmed audiences who scroll pastYou're devaluing your paid offerings (if you're giving everything away free, what's left for paying clients?)You're positioning yourself as a free information source instead of a transformation partnerThe "So What?" TestAfter writing any piece of content, ask yourself: "So what?"What's the ONE thing they need to do?If someone reads this and takes action, what's the ONE thing they'll do?If you can't answer in one sentence, you've given too muchBecome magnetic in your marketing https://www.millsgray.com/work-with-me/courses/how-to-become-magnetic-in-your-marketing/Rewild retreat epsiode https://www.millsgray.com/the-power-of-pivoting-when-something-doesnt-feel-right/Coming Up in OctoberMills has a bank of guest expert interviews ready to roll, but she wants to hear from you - who would you love to hear on the Soul Leaders podcast?

00:00 – Check Your Data FirstIf your content isn't working, don't start guessing—start with the numbers. Data reflects human behavior.00:34 – Where to Check Your InsightsReview analytics on platforms like Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and your hosting platform. But the key isn't just looking—it's interpreting.01:12 – Don't Decide in IsolationA single video or post underperforming doesn't always mean failure. Variables like title, thumbnail, hook, and intro all play a role.03:15 – The Power of a HookThe first 60–90 seconds are critical. Your intro should represent your episode's promise and capture attention quickly.04:17 – Study What WorksLook at patterns from creators in your niche. Don't copy—observe how they structure and tell stories.05:27 – Titles, Thumbnails, and Brand AuthorityHook, title, and even your name affect discoverability. Strong brand authority increases visibility and trust.06:39 – Long-Form vs. Short-Form TestingSocial media allows rapid testing; long-form (like podcasts) takes more time to gather data. Plan accordingly.08:44 – Analyze on a 90-Day WindowTrends shift. 90 days gives enough time to collect meaningful data and adjust quarterly strategies.10:00 – When You Don't Know What to Do NextGo back to your data. It's your best reference point. If interpretation is hard, get support.11:04 – A/B Testing with TubeBuddyTry different titles/thumbnails. But again, it should align with your core message and your audience's behavior.12:18 – Strategy Over SpaghettiPosting consistently is not enough. Know who you're talking to and test intentionally to refine your strategy.13:18 – Don't Get Burned Out by ExpectationsNot all content will perform. Publish, gather data, and iterate. That's how you find your sweet spot.14:32 – Competitor vs. Inspiration AnalysisUse similar creators to map out what's working—but come from a place of inspiration, not comparison.15:31 – You Might Already Have Warm LeadsStop only chasing new followers. You may already have people primed to buy—you just need the right nudge.18:10 – Different Strategies for Different LeadsNew leads vs. warm leads require different types of content. Know where your audience stands.19:20 – Platform Insights Are GoldUse Instagram and YouTube data to learn your audience's age, activity times, and location.21:01 – You Don't Need Virality to WinGoing viral feels good, but it's not the only strategy. Quiet, sustainable growth > (is greater than) chasing numbers.23:14 – Quality Over QuantityFocus on meaningful conversions over vanity metrics. Build from solid foundations, not just high views.23:35 – Need Help? Reach OutEmail kai@whatkai.com with the subject line “Podcast Analytics” to get support on interpreting your data.23:55 – Let the Content Work for YouYou don't have to hustle endlessly. When your strategy is clear, your content can start doing the heavy lifting.
Never Just Surviving: Sophie Holmes on Running 36 Marathons with Cystic FibrosisDespite a schedule packed with training, advocacy, and breaking world records, Sophie Holmes of the U.K. always makes time to share her story, and we're so grateful she did.Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just four months old, Sophie was told she might not live past her teens. But rather than letting that define her, she's spent her life rewriting the narrative. Her latest, jaw-dropping accomplishment? Running 36 marathons in 36 days. That's right—36 consecutive days, 26.2 miles each day, driven by pure determination and an unshakable belief in what's possible.Sophie is not only an elite athlete and personal trainer, she's a powerful advocate for chronic illness awareness. In this episode of the Living with Cystic Fibrosis podcast, she talks about what fueled her through each grueling mile, how she manages the intense physical demands of endurance sports while living with CF.“Mindset is everything.” – Sophie HolmesIt's easy to say that exercise is one of the best things someone with CF can do. But Sophie reminds us: that doesn't mean it's easy. Her story is a powerful example of grit, strength, and living fully—even when the odds are stacked against you.Sophie's Story:Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at four months oldTold she might not live past her teenage yearsRan 36 marathons in 36 days, demonstrating her extraordinary enduranceSet a Lake Cuomo Ultra Ironman World RecordBelieves mindset is the key to overcoming life's toughest challengesWorks as a personal trainer and chronic illness advocateRedefines resilience—not just surviving, but thrivingInspires runners, athletes, and anyone living with chronic illnessLives with relentless drive and purposeShows us what's possible when you push beyond the limits others set for youYou can find Sophie Holmes on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophiegraceholmes/ Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en
This episode might make you ruffle your feathers. If it does, it means I'm hitting a nerve that needs to be hit. Here's what I'm NOT going to do:Pretend that your sticker charts are helpingAct like time-outs are teaching life lessonsTell you that you just need the "right" punishment systemHere's what I AM going to do: Call out the fact that we've been duped. Manipulated. Sold a lie by two dudes in lab coats who literally thought your child's brain works the same as a pigeon's. I'm not even kidding. BF Skinner actually said: "Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything." Your child. A blank slate. Just waiting to be programmed with the right combination of rewards and punishments. Feeling sick yet? You should be. I used to be you. Consequence Queen. Time-out Tyrant. The mom who had read all the books and had all the systems. And then one day, it hits me: I'm using the EXACT SAME METHODS on my kids that I use on my poodle. Sit = treat. Come = treat. Stop barking = treat. Clean room = sticker. Do homework = screen time. Stop fighting = avoid punishment. The kicker? My dog was better trained than my kids. At least she came when I called.
What if the very thing you're ashamed of is the exact thing someone else needs to hear?If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “Why would anyone care what I have to say?” or “Who am I to teach or lead or be seen?”—this one's for you, babe.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and taking you deep into my story—not because I think you need every gritty detail, but because I know what it's like to feel unworthy, invisible, and stuck in survival mode.I know what it's like to cry yourself to sleep every night, convinced your life will never get better. I know what it's like to keep performing, people-pleasing, and proving—just to survive.And I also know what it's like to break free.This is the part most people don't talk about. But I will—because your story holds a frequency, and if mine can unlock something for you… I'm gonna tell it all.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL FIND OUT:Why the version of you that's been through hell is exactly the one that's ready to leadHow decades of conditioning could be fueling your self-sabotage (and how to stop repeating it)The real reason it's never been about your strategy—it's about your self-worthWhy you don't need a new business plan—you need a new belief about what's possible for YOUYou don't need to prove anything. You don't need to be anyone else. You just need to remember who the hell you are.Let's go there.Let's connect!Follow me on IG: @risewithrebekahJoin The Expansion Experience for FREE.
