Why We’re Afraid to Sell (And What the “Mom Voice” Has to Do With It) There’s a voice a lot of us slip into the second we have to say a price out loud. I call it the mom voice. You’ve done it: “It’s $300,” said in this careful, coaxing tone, like you’re trying to…
Read MoreEpisode 349: Why Strength Training in Midlife Isn’t Optional, with Mary Ellen Loranger
A Childhood Nickname She Buried, and Why It’s Back My guest this week had a childhood nickname: Muscles. She wasn’t the smallest kid on the block.

Read MoreEpisode 348: The Mother Line — The Real Block to Receiving, with Sabine O’Laughlin
The Mother Line Starts Closer to Home Than You’d Think My guest this week studies something most of us avoid: death. She’s spent forty years at it, as a pathologist performing autopsies. What she found along the way wasn’t morbid. It was the opposite — she found more life force in a room full of…

What Golden Bricks Taught Roberta Ravella About Building a Business in Joy My guest this week spent 25 years in the mortgage business, and by her own account, she was good at it. She had the tools, the strategy, and sticky notes covering an entire wall. Still, she told me, there came a point where…

What Happens When You Stop Waiting to Have It All Figured Out For a long time, Abi Horton thought real estate investing wasn’t accessible to her.
