  3 Hidden Barriers Keeping Coaches Underpaid | S2026 28.07.2026 25min

  Most coaches don't struggle with what they know. They struggle with what they'll charge for it. I break down the three emotional barriers that keep skilled coaches, consultants, and educators underpaid. We look at how imposter syndrome makes you question your expertise, why getting paid creates a whole new level of pressure, and what happens when you take responsibility for clients who won’t do the work. I also share how to price your coaching around the results you can help create without making promises you can’t control.Your business may not need another certification, strategy, or funnel. It may need you to stop letting fear set your prices, choose your clients, and decide how visible you’re willing to become. The barrier is internal, but that also means you have the power to remove it.Key Takeaways:How emotional language helps you think clearly when fear gets loud.When practice builds confidence and when free beta work becomes a hiding place.A better way to price coaching around value and likely client outcomes.How to set honest expectations without promising results you cannot control.Why the wrong clients can distort your confidence, pricing, and view of your skills.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them find the barriers that are actually holding them back, finally let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.https://rebeccamountain.ca/ Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

  The Power of AND: Living A Life Without Compromise | S2025 30.06.2026 57min

  What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of time, talent, or opportunity, but the belief that you have to choose?I sat down with Rebecca Powers to talk about what she calls the Power of And. It all started with a surprising confrontation at work over a side project creating yoga-inspired t-shirts. What looked like a small moment became a life-changing lesson. Rebecca realized she didn't have to choose between being a successful sales leader and a creative entrepreneur. She could be both.Our conversation explores how that simple shift unlocked some of the best years of her life. We talk about holding seemingly opposite emotions at the same time, giving yourself permission to pursue more than one passion, and why forcing yourself into someone else's formula can pull you further away from who you really are. Rebecca also shares the heartbreaking loss of her brother during the launch of her book, Return to Radiance, and how embracing both grief and joy helped her move through one of the hardest seasons of her life. If you've ever felt trapped between two choices, this conversation offers a different path. One built on expansion, acceptance, and the courage to stop shrinking yourself.Key Takeaways:Why high achievers often create false either-or choices that keep them stuck.How embracing conflicting emotions can create more freedom and peace.The surprising connection between joy, creativity, and professional success.What happens when you stop following someone else's formula and start trusting your own path.How small acts of self-expression can unlock major personal and business breakthroughs.About Guest:About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  The Hidden Cost of Being the Strong One | S2024 16.06.2026 1h 10min

  Ever feel like you're crushing it on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside? I know that feeling well, and so does my guest, Rebecca Lazzelle.Rebecca Lazzelle shares her journey from Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and senior corporate leader to energy healing practitioner, author, and retreat host. What started as a search for relief from chronic pain became a much deeper exploration of emotional healing, self-worth, and the hidden cost of always holding it together. After surviving a traumatic relationship, a domestic violence incident, PTSD, panic attacks, and the loss of nearly every external marker of success, she found herself facing a hard truth: achievement alone wasn't enough.We talk about the difference between striving and becoming, why high performers often hide their pain the best, and how healing rarely comes from one dramatic breakthrough. Instead, it comes from small choices made consistently over time. Rebecca shares how mindfulness, energy work, therapy, EMDR, writing, and self-compassion helped her rebuild her life from the inside out.If you've been carrying more than anyone knows, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to keep holding it all together. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is let go.Key Takeaways:A shocking turning point reveals how unresolved patterns can escalate far beyond what we expect. Why high performers often become experts at hiding pain while appearing successful. The hidden cost of "holding it together" and how it eventually impacts every area of life. A powerful distinction between achieving more and becoming more. The simple one-step approach that makes personal transformation feel possible again.About Guest:For most of my life, I was highly functional. I built a successful career in leadership and transformation work. I could manage complexity, guide teams through change, keep moving, and multitask, even when things were hard.Even before my personal life unraveled, I was drawn to efficient, body-based healing methods. The Emotion Code and Body Code appealed to me for the same reason process improvement always had: they work directly with root causes, not endless analysis.Then my personal life collapsed.I experienced domestic-violence-related betrayal trauma that didn't just break my heart. It broke my sense of safety, identity, and trust in myself. I understood what had happened cognitively. I went to therapy. I did "the work." And still, my body stayed on high alert. The anxiety, the tension, the looping patterns, the panic attacks, they didn't resolve.That's when the difference became undeniable.Insight helped me understand the story, but it didn't settle my nervous system. The somatic and energy-based work I had already respected became essential, along with other tools I discovered along the way. It supported what cognition alone could not: restoring safety in the body. Over time, my nervous system softened, physical tension eased, and old patterns lost their grip. I didn't become a new person, I returned to myself.Today, my work sits at the intersection of lived experience and embodied energy healing. I help people whose lives look fine on the outside but feel unsafe on the inside reconnect with their bodies, rebuild self-trust, and release patterns that didn't start with them through committed energy-healing work and intimate wellbeing retreats.Healing isn't just about letting go of physical discomfort; it's about remembering who we truly are beneath the weight of trapped emotions and trauma. I believe each of us deserves to feel light, connected, and alive; to be our true selves.

  What Real Leadership Looks Like Behind the Title | S2023 02.06.2026 1h 5min

  What happens when your entire life gets packed into a duffel bag and sent across an ocean at 17 years old? In this conversation, I sit down with Billy Ekofo, Vice President of Global Growth and Member Success at Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, to explore a story that starts with political upheaval in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and unfolds into a powerful lesson about human connection, trust, and service. Billy shares how being evacuated from his home, learning English from scratch, and navigating life in a new country taught him the value of accepting help from others. We talk about compassion, mentorship, leadership, and why the people who believe in us often change the course of our lives. This conversation is a reminder that success is rarely a solo journey. The breakthroughs that shape us often come through the kindness, courage, and belief of other people.Key Takeaways:· Why accepting help is often the fastest path through life's biggest barriers. · How challenging your assumptions can completely change the way you see people and opportunities. · What great leaders do differently when they genuinely care about the people they serve. · How small moments of intentional connection can create lifelong impact. · Why the future belongs to people who use technology to strengthen human relationships, not replace them.About Guest:Billy Ekofo, MA, MBAVice President | Global Growth & Member Success Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® You can follow him @billyekofo on his social channels.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  How to Keep Going When You Feel Like Giving Up | S2022 19.05.2026 18min

  There’s a moment most people hit when life keeps punching and nothing seems to be working anymore. You’ve been grinding for months, maybe years, and suddenly your brain starts whispering, “Maybe I’m the problem.” I wanted to talk about that moment because I see too many talented people quit right before things start turning around again. The market shifts. Relationships get hard. Business slows down. And if we’re not careful, we start making external struggles deeply personal. That’s where people lose their momentum, their confidence, and eventually their ability to keep moving.In this episode, I break down four simple strategies that help you keep going when your motivation starts falling apart. I talk about shifting from achieving to becoming, why breaking goals into tiny “I can do that” steps changes everything, how the stories you tell yourself can either fuel you or destroy you, and why tracking actions instead of outcomes puts your power back in your own hands. I also share personal stories from launching a business during the pandemic, the danger of waiting to “feel ready,” and why motivation only shows up after movement starts. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, discouraged, or close to giving up, this one is for you.Key Takeaways:· Learn how to stop tying your self-worth to external results and bring your focus back to what you can control.· Discover why “becoming” creates stronger long-term motivation than chasing achievements alone.· Understand how breaking overwhelming goals into tiny actions helps rebuild momentum fast.· Hear why most people quit right before things shift and how to avoid becoming one of them.· Find out how tracking actions instead of outcomes creates confidence, consistency, and resilience.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  The Stories We Tell Ourselves | S2021 05.05.2026 26min

  We all have stories we tell ourselves that sound harmless on the surface. “I work better under pressure.” “I’ll start Monday.” “This is just who I am.” But those stories quietly become prisons. In this solo episode, I pull apart the blind spots and self-sabotaging patterns that keep high performers stuck, stressed, and spinning their wheels. I share why smart, capable people are often the hardest to help because they’ve become masters at justifying avoidance while calling it productivity. I walk through the trigger-behavior-reward loop that drives procrastination, perfectionism, doom scrolling, binge watching, overworking, and control issues. I also unpack why willpower usually fails and why curiosity works better when it comes to breaking habits that no longer serve you. From the RAIN process to the hidden cost of “one more hour won’t hurt,” this conversation is about learning to face the uncomfortable truth underneath your habits so you can finally stop bulldozing your way through life and start moving with less friction, more awareness, and a hell of a lot more freedom.Key Takeaways:· Learn why procrastination and self-sabotage are often protection mechanisms, not laziness. · Discover the hidden reward loops driving habits like doom scrolling, overworking, and avoidance. · Understand why high performers and entrepreneurs are especially vulnerable to blind spots. · Hear how the RAIN process helps break destructive patterns without relying on willpower. · Explore the stories you repeat that may be quietly limiting your growth, relationships, and success.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town.

  The Reason You’re Still Stuck (And Why You Can’t See It) | S2020 21.04.2026 26min

  There’s a ceiling most high performers never see… and I’ll tell you right now, it’s not about skill, strategy, or motivation. It’s about the stories you’re telling yourself that feel so true you don’t even question them. I’ve lived this. I’ve held onto things, justified them, and watched them quietly shape my results without realizing it. The uncomfortable truth is that the smarter you are, the better you get at hiding your own blind spots.In this conversation, I walk you through how these invisible patterns form, why your brain protects them, and how they quietly keep you stuck at the same level. We talk about the “invisible ceiling” that shows up when you’re working harder but not getting better results, and why effort, information, and willpower won’t fix it. If you’ve ever said “that’s just who I am,” this is your wake-up call. You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a visibility problem. And once you see the pattern, everything can change.Key Takeaways:You don’t have a motivation or strategy problem. You have a visibility problem, and until you see the pattern, nothing changes.The smarter you are, the easier it is to justify the behaviors that are actually holding you back.Your brain protects patterns by giving you reasons that sound logical, even when they’re costing you growth.If you keep getting the same results, it’s not bad luck. It’s a pattern you haven’t identified yet.You can’t fix what you can’t see, which is why outside perspective is often the fastest path to a breakthrough.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  Productive Procrastination: Why Staying Busy Is Keeping You Stuck | S2019 31.03.2026 25min

  You’re not behind. You’re just really good at staying busy.I see this all the time with high performers. Your calendar is full. Your inbox is clean. You’re checking boxes all day long. And yet… nothing meaningful is actually moving forward. That’s productive procrastination. It looks like progress on the surface, but underneath, it’s avoidance. Your brain is trying to keep you safe from risk, judgment, and failure. So it keeps you busy instead of moving you forward.What changed everything for me and my clients is learning how to catch the pattern and break it. First, you build awareness of what you’re doing instead of the real work. Then you strip things down to one small, clear action and remove decision-making entirely. No guessing. No overwhelm. Just one task. When you do this consistently, the noise quiets down, the fear loses its grip, and you start building real momentum again. That’s how you get back to the version of you that actually gets results.Key Takeaways:· Why staying busy can secretly keep you stuck · How your brain turns growth into perceived danger · The hidden loop between avoidance and shame · What your “go-to distraction” reveals about your fear · How to break big goals into simple daily actionsAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  AI Is Not The Problem - It's The Multiplier | S2018 17.03.2026 22min

  AI is everywhere right now. Some people fear it. Others think it will solve everything. The truth sits somewhere in the middle.After a short conversation that blew my mind, I started thinking about how AI actually works in the real world. What I realized is simple. AI is a multiplier. It doesn’t magically fix your problems. It simply amplifies whatever you bring to it.If you are already moving forward, even a little, AI can turn that momentum into something powerful. But if you are stuck in hesitation, overthinking, or endless research, AI will multiply that too. It can trap you in the knowing-doing gap where you keep learning but never take action.So the real question isn’t whether AI is good or bad. The real question is how you use it.In this episode I break down the Mountain Method and show you how to use AI through three lenses: beliefs, actions, and habits. When your thinking is clear, your next step is small enough to execute, and your habits support consistent progress, AI becomes an incredible accelerator.But you still have to drive the car.AI might be the supercar sitting in your driveway. Your job is to get behind the wheel and decide where you want to go.Key Takeaways:Why AI multiplies motion instead of creating itThe dangerous trap of endless research and “information safety”How the knowing-doing gap shows up in modern AI toolsThe three pillars of the Mountain Method: beliefs, actions, habitsSimple prompts that turn AI into an action acceleratorAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  You're Successful… So Why Do You Feel Like You’re Falling Behind? | S2017 03.03.2026 27min

  High performers rarely fall off a cliff. We slow down. And that slow down can feel like the start of a quiet decline.I’ve been there more than once. You’re working just as hard, maybe harder. But something feels off. The growth that once felt like a rocket launch now feels flat. You start looking behind you. You compare yourself to your younger self, your competitors, the loud voices online, even AI. And that comparison reflex can spiral into what I call a silent panic.In this episode, I break down what’s really happening when you hit a plateau. I share how I stopped trusting myself, pulled back from what worked, and paid the price. And I walk you through a simple 90-day reset that rebuilds self-trust, focus, and momentum. You don’t need to blow up your life. You need a new scorecard. When you stop chasing noise and start choosing meaningful progress, that plateau becomes the setup for your next leap.Key Takeaways:· The Silent Panic of High Performers – Why a natural slowdown can feel like the start of a personal collapse.· The Comparison Reflex Trap – How looking at your past self, competitors, or AI can quietly drain your confidence.· The Stakes Get Higher – Why success can make risk feel scarier and pressure feel heavier.· The 90-Day Reset – How a simple, specific goal can restore focus and rebuild momentum.· Rebuilding Self-Trust – Why a new scorecard is the key to closing the gap between knowing and doing.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  The Subtle Art of Not Giving Up | S2016 17.02.2026 31min

  Have you ever noticed you didn’t explode out of your life… you just slowly turned the volume down?That’s what giving up really looks like. It’s not dramatic. It’s subtle. It’s quiet quitting on yourself.In this episode, I break down why we stop trying even when we still want more. I share how distraction, fear of rejection, delayed gratification, and shaky self-belief chip away at our ambition. I walk you through the three pillars of my Mountain Method: beliefs, actions, and habits. When those three are out of sync, you drift. When they align, you climb.If you’ve been staring at your next mountain thinking, “Nope. Too much,” this is your reset. You’re not stuck. You’re misaligned. And that can change.Key Takeaways:· How subtle quitting shows up in your daily life before you even notice it· Why distraction and fear of rejection quietly destroy confidence· The belief shift that keeps entrepreneurs’ alive past year one· How decisive action replaces chaos and builds momentum· The six high performance habits that drive income, fulfillment, and prideAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them find the barriers that are actually holding them back, finally let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for.

  How to Break the 3 am Anxiety Cycle | S2015 27.01.2026 28min

  I know the 3am club well. That half-awake, heart-racing place where your brain convinces you everything is about to fall apart. I lived there for years, paying dues I never agreed to pay, letting fear and self-defeating thoughts run the show. What finally changed wasn’t more information or more willpower. It was learning how to build a door and leave.In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in your brain during those 3am spirals and why high performers tend to end up there more often than anyone else. I share three practical, repeatable ways to interrupt catastrophizing thoughts, calm your nervous system, and stop tearing down the life you’re trying to build. These tools aren’t about positive thinking or pretending everything is fine. They’re about creating space between you and your thoughts so you can lead yourself back to clarity, self-trust, and forward motion.Key Takeaways:· How to recognize when your emotional brain has hijacked your thinking and what to do in that moment· Why high performers experience more 3am spirals and how caring deeply fuels anxiety· A simple breathing pattern that lowers emotional intensity fast· How to change self-defeating thoughts without forcing positivity· Why knowing what to do isn’t enough and how to close the knowing-doing gapAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  The Hidden Role of Emotion in Sales and Leadership | S2014 20.01.2026 19min

  Most people think decisions are made by logic. They’re wrong. I see this every day when smart, capable people stall, hesitate, or quietly back away from a clear yes. Knowledge matters, but it rarely closes the gap. Emotion does.In this episode, I break down how real decisions are made and why persuasion isn’t about pushing harder or proving you’re smarter. It’s about understanding what someone is feeling in the moment they freeze. I share a real example from training a team of real estate agents and show how emotions like trust, confidence, loyalty, and even betrayal quietly run the show. We talk about why facts alone don’t move people, how likeability builds trust faster than expertise, and why giving someone the right language can remove their biggest internal roadblock.If you lead, sell, parent, coach, or simply want people to come with you instead of resisting you, this episode will change how you listen, how you ask questions, and how you tell stories. Because knowing isn’t enough. When you learn to work with emotion instead of fighting it, decisions get easier. For you and for them.Key Takeaways:· Why emotional hesitation is often the real objection hiding behind “I need to think about it”· How trust is built through likeability and confidence, not more facts· What to do when loyalty and guilt block a decision forward· How the right language removes fear without creating conflict· Why stories quiet resistance and open people to changeAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town.

  How Your Thoughts Create Your Reality | S2013 06.01.2026 22min

  Most of us don’t realize how much our thoughts are already deciding the life we’re living. Not someday. Not in theory. Right now. In this episode, I dig into why your brain keeps finding proof for whatever story you’re telling yourself and how that story shapes your work, your relationships, and your sense of self. This isn’t about pretending everything is fine or slapping positivity on hard moments. It’s about understanding how your mind actually works and why it so easily pulls you into fear, shame, and self-doubt.I walk through the role of the reticular activation system and how thoughts and emotions team up to create filters that distort what you see. I also share the practice that helped me stop feeding old programming and step off what I call the shame train. You’ll hear how to notice destructive thoughts without fighting them, how to calm the emotional surge that keeps them alive, and how to retrain your brain to focus on what moves you forward. One small shift at a time, this work changes how you show up, how you connect, and how you build a life that actually feels like yours.Key Takeaways:• How your brain decides what evidence to show you and why that shapes your reality• Why trying to “think positive” often backfires and what works instead• How emotions intensify thought patterns and thicken the filters you see life through• A practical way to stop feeding shame, fear, and self-sabotage without fighting them• How small daily shifts in focus can change your relationships, work, and confidenceAbout Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  The Fixer Mindset: Why We Look Outside Instead of Within | S2012 16.12.2025 34min

  Why do we keep trying to fix the same problems and still feel stuck? That question drives my conversation with Ronn James, and it shows up everywhere, from sales and leadership to everyday life.We talk about the fixer mindset and how quickly we reach for tactics, scripts, or advice when something feels uncomfortable. What looks like a surface issue, like avoiding calls or feeling inconsistent, is often driven by rejection, self-worth, and old stories we never stop to examine. The more we search for answers outside ourselves, the more frustrated and guilty we tend to feel.The takeaway from this episode is this: real change doesn’t come from fixing harder, it comes from understanding yourself better. When you slow down, build emotional awareness, and learn to look inward without judgment, consistency and confidence start to follow naturally. Key Takeaways:·  Recognize when you’re fixing symptoms instead of addressing the real issue·  Understand why more advice can create more resistance·  Identify how rejection quietly shapes your behavior·  Learn how to look inward without fear or overwhelm·  Build emotional awareness that drives consistent action About The Guest:Ronn James is a respected authority in the real estate industry, with a deep passion for helping others thrive. With plus 40 years of hands-on experience and a track record of success, Ronn James is not just a coach but a dedicated mentor, committed to the growth and success of every client. About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  The Power of Impossible | S2011 18.11.2025 27min

  What would happen if you set a goal so big it scares you a little—and gave yourself a deadline that feels completely unreasonable? In this conversation, I share why “impossible goals” are often the clearest path to clarity, momentum, and results. I talk through the moments that shaped me—leaving a cult, surviving a car crash, and rebuilding my life—and how they taught me to trust myself enough to choose the mountain I want to climb.I walk you through how impossible timelines eliminate decision fatigue, why back doors keep you stuck in mediocrity, and how true commitment trains your brain to spot opportunities you’ve never noticed before. I also open up about the Mountain Method, what I’m building next, and why referrals, super connectors, and bold standards make 10X growth easier than most people think. My hope is that you walk away with one impossible goal, one wild deadline, and the courage to go all in. Key Takeaways:· Learn how impossible goals create clarity· See why bold deadlines spark faster action· Understand how standards shape your results· Discover how referrals amplify your growth· Explore how commitment trains your brain to notice new opportunities  About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  The Invisible Cliff of Success | S2010 04.11.2025 36min

  Success scares smart people. Not because we can’t handle growth, but because our emotions whisper worst-case stories that keep us stuck on a tiny two-inch ledge we’re convinced is a cliff. I unpack how procrastination, perfectionism, and “control freak” habits are just labels masking fear—of outcomes, of judgment, of losing control—and why more checklists won’t fix an emotional problem.I walk you through a simple path: name what you feel, set real standards, capture your “secret sauce” with SOPs, and lead by managing progress—not doing the work yourself. You’ll hear how I hit walls, learned to hire, and stopped letting old stories run the show. If you’re ready to step off that ledge, this is your nudge to build emotional resilience, take clear action, and grow without burning out. Key Takeaways:·  How to spot fear hiding behind “procrastinator,” “perfectionist,” and “control freak” labels—and what to do next.·  A practical way to use an emotion wheel to defuse outcome fear and restart momentum.·  The leadership shift from doing to guiding: set a gold standard, build SOPs, and run tight check-ins.·  A two-step hiring flow: objective self-assessment first, live interview second, so you trust your gut with data.·  Why psychological strength drives 85–90% of success—and how to build it without therapy jargon. About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong.

  Why Short-Term Sprints Work Better Than Long Term Goals | S2009 21.10.2025 29min

  Want a simple way to hit big goals without burning out? I walk you through the sprint system I use to turn vague intentions into clear weekly actions you can actually finish. I start at the finish line, map a one-page work-back plan, and swap decisions for instructions so focus isn’t something you hunt for every day.We set a sprint length that fits real life, build tiny wins that compound, and design celebrations that reinforce the identity you’re growing into. I also share my favorite accountability twist that gets near-perfect follow-through without shame or burnout.If you’re ready to make progress you can feel, this is your blueprint for the next 30 to 100 days. Key Takeaways:· How to choose the right sprint length so urgency helps, not harms.· Turning a big goal into a weekly work-back plan you can follow.· “Instructions over decisions” protects focus and creativity.· How to design celebrations that reinforce identity and momentum.· Use paired consequences for 100% accountability without shame. About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion.

  How to ask for what you need at work without disclosing ADHD, harness hyperfocus without burning out, and design a career that actually fits your brain. I invited ADHD career coach Elle O’Flaherty because she understands high performers who don’t thrive in neurotypical systems. I share my own late diagnosis and years of masking, then we get practical about building a life and career that match how our minds work.We walk through scripts for “accommodations without asking for accommodations,” shifting from importance to interest so tasks become doable, and using FUNKY activators to flip your brain on for boring work. Elle breaks down healthy ways to channel hyperfocus so results rise while stress falls. We also zoom out for leaders: how to create neuroinclusive teams, normalize tools like AI note-takers, and stop quiet biases that push talented people out.You’ll leave with clear language to advocate for yourself, simple systems to protect your energy, and confidence to treat ADHD as a feature you can leverage, not a flaw you have to hide. Key Takeaways:·     How to request support from a position of strength without disclosing ADHD, and why it works with most managers.·     The FUNKY activators that switch ADHD brains “on” for boring tasks: Fun, Urgency, Novelty, Challenge, Interest.·     Ways to harness hyperfocus safely so output skyrockets without wrecking sleep or relationships.·     A quick blueprint for neuroinclusive leadership: training, process audits, interview changes, and visible allyship.·     Why late diagnosis is common for women and how current checklists miss inattentive traits—and what to do about it. About the Guest:Elle O'Flaherty is a performance optimization and career satisfaction speaker and coach who helps audiences accelerate their growth. She delivers fun presentations interweaving the life-changing with the practical. Elle is the founder of Interlace Solutions, an executive coaching firm with an ADHD subspecialty.

  Stop the $20 Leaks: A Practical System to Keep More Money with Jennifer Hume | S2E007 23.09.2025 31min

  How do you actually pay yourself first when every bill feels urgent? That’s the question we dig into with Profit First pro and business finance coach Jennifer Hume.Join us as we get real about why even smart entrepreneurs get stuck in debt, tax stress, and thin margins—and how a simple, bank-account system can flip that story. You’ll hear how splitting income on purpose, checking your operating-expense account before impulse buys, and starting with just 1% profit every week can shift you from cashflow chaos to calm. Jen brings both her personal turnaround and client wins that prove you don’t need to earn more; you just need to manage with intention. Key Takeaways:●     How Profit First actually works and why splitting income across dedicated accounts creates instant clarity and guardrails.●     Why “it’s only $20” thinking drains profit and how to replace impulse buys with an intentional check against your operating-expense account.●     What turns around a financially upside-down business - pricing, taxes, subscriptions, and small 10% improvements that stick.●     A realistic timeline for change and why steady habits beat quick fixes for lasting financial health.●     One starter move anyone can do today: open a “Profit” savings account and transfer 1% every Friday to build momentum. About the Guest: In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a rule-based religious group, divorced, and lost the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town.
