By Brad Walsh. When it comes to starting a podcast, one of the first questions I get is this: "How do I monetize my podcast?" It's a valid question, after all, creating quality content takes time, effort, and sometimes money. But let me start by being completely transparent: monetization wasn't even on my radar when I launched my podcast. My sole focus was creating a platform to elevate and amplify the voices of women. It was a passion project straight from the heart, and that was enough for me. However, as my podcast grew, so did my vision. Naturally, I started to explore ways to monetize my ..read more

By Jenn Baron. Here are a few gentle reminders for you because it's easy to forget:   You are not broken. Even if you feel that way or were told that you are. You went through some sh*t, developed some maladaptive coping patterns, and that's ok. You can slowly develop new ones.   You are not alone. We all do VERY SIMILAR SH*T! At the end of the day, our brains are constantly striving for their version of safety. You're not weird or unique in a bad way. It's just that few people are telling the truth, so we all feel like hot messes and beat ourselves up.   All you ever need to ch ..read more

By Jacqueline Shaulis. Let me share a truth I've discovered while advising Fortune 100 executives across six continents: In this era of constant noise and deepening divides, your quiet strength isn't just valuable – it's revolutionary.

By Jackie Wilson. When was the last time you really connected with the people who follow you or subscribe to your emails? Your audience isn't just a collection of email addresses or social media profiles. They're your people. They show up, read your stuff, and maybe even share it—if they love you enough. An engaged audience is worth its weight in gold (or dollars, euros, rubles, yen…); it's an audience that wants to be there, and you should be courting your marvellous community, your wavelength warriors, with every tool at your disposal. How? Well, read on.   Connection: Tell Them Why The ..read more

By Lauren Regan. I'm setting off from Newcastle upon Tyne to drive to Aviemore, a bustling ski town tucked away at the base of the Cairngorm mountains in the Scottish Highlands, and it's starting to snow. We're from Northumberland and used to a bit of snow. I'm sure a light dusting will make it #magical in photos. But an hour or so into the four-hour drive, my aunt calls to say that "they're starting to close the snow gates and it's really getting quite deep…" How bad can it get we laugh, while I secretly wonder if we have enough snacks left in the car to last being stranded on a mountain road ..read more

By A Venturing Nomad. Whilst mentioning we are heading to the South of France usually generates loving smiles and nods of recognition but when you say the destination is The Camargue, the reaction tends to move to a slightly more quizzical look and a slight head tilt of 'where is that?' Just south of Avignon and Nimes and nestled between Marseille and Montpellier lies a vast area of salt plains and wetlands that make up the Parc Natural Regional de Camargue, with Saintes Maries de la Mer prominently situated, as its name suggests, on the most southern point, gazing wistfull ..read more

By A Venturing Nomad. The national park in southern France known as the Parc Natural Regional de Camargue, just south of Avignon and nestled between Marseille and Montpelier is a veritable haven for wildlife of all creeds and colours from the famous white Camargue horses, with which it shares its name to the recognisable black bulls, also resident of the region. Our journey on this trip, though, was primarily focused on something....Pink! The pink flamingo is a tall, wading bird that can be found across North America, Africa and Southern Europe, its name comes from the  ..read more

By Teresa Greco. Did you know that we live 98% of our day from the subconscious mind? Yes, 98% of what we do every day comes from habit, which includes many actions we don't even think about because we've been doing them day after day, and maybe for years. This includes bodily functions like your heart beating, breathing, and digesting your food, to automatic movements like your morning routine, driving to work (where you ask yourself, "How did I even get there?"), riding a bike, swimming, and playing an instrument. Many of us live according to a programme we're unaware of that's dictating how ..read more
