You weren’t born to hold it all. You were born to hold what matters.

In this raw and refreshingly honest conversation, George sits down with speaker, coach, and boundaries expert Beth Jones to explore the pressure-cooker reality of modern leadership, especially for women who’ve been taught to carry everyone and everything. Together, they unpack the sneaky ways burnout shows up in high performers, the emotional cost of people-pleasing, and how to lead with integrity without abandoning yourself in the process.

This isn’t just about saying “no.” It’s about remembering who you are when the world demands more than you can give.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by expectations, stretched by your own ambition, or unsure where you end and everyone else begins — this episode is your permission slip to breathe.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to tell the difference between capacity and obligation
• Why high performers are especially prone to burnout
• The invisible cost of people-pleasing
• Why boundaries aren’t walls — they’re invitations to deeper connection
• The difference between support and saviorism
• How spiritual practice can anchor your leadership
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️The boundary isn’t to keep others out — it’s to keep you in.
✔️Over-functioning is not leadership. It’s fear in disguise.
✔️Rest is not something you earn — it’s something you’re worthy of.
✔️If your love costs you your peace, it’s not love — it’s self-abandonment.
✔️You don’t need to prove your worth through exhaustion.
✔️Your spiritual alignment is your leadership strategy.
✔️Holding space doesn’t mean holding everything.

What’s the “rotting fish” under the seat of your business?

You wouldn’t leave a fish in your car for a month… but most of us leave beliefs in our mind that stink up our business and life for years. In this short but powerful solo episode, George walks you through one of the most transformative mindset tools he’s ever used — The Stinky Fish Exercise.

Whether you’re procrastinating, micromanaging, burnt out, or stuck in comparison loops — there’s a silent belief poisoning your momentum. This episode helps you name it, clear it, and move forward with clarity. You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you might just cry a little… but you’ll definitely finish lighter.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What a “stinky fish” actually is and how it shows up
• 3 specific steps to identify and remove your blocks
• The surprising impact of being witnessed in your beliefs
• Why naming your fear is more powerful than hiding it
• How this tool can shift your mindset in 10 minutes or less

Key Takeaways:
✔️Your business will never outgrow the beliefs you refuse to face.
✔️Procrastination and overworking are symptoms — not problems.
✔️Unspoken thoughts hold more power than spoken ones.
✔️Stillness reveals what’s been silently running the show.
✔️Sharing your fears with a trusted person instantly weakens their grip.

Most people try to think their way to healing. But true transformation starts in stillness.

In this deeply moving and energetically charged conversation, George sits down with “The Facilitator of Miracles”, Jerry Sargeant, to explore what it really takes to shift your frequency, break generational pain cycles, and connect to your highest self. Jerry shares his path from darkness and destruction to spiritual awakening, and teaches how to hold space for healing that goes beyond the logical mind.

This episode is not just about personal development — it’s about frequency, forgiveness, presence, and true energetic alignment. If you’ve ever felt blocked, stuck, or caught in an emotional loop, Jerry’s words will land where most strategies can’t reach.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The role of forgiveness in emotional, spiritual, and physical healing
• How stillness creates space for the truth to emerge
• What it means to live in resonance — and how to spot when you’re out of it
• Why “doing more” often delays your healing
• How to feel and integrate pain instead of bypassing it
• The power of presence in your leadership, parenting, and relationships
• How frequency and intention co-create your reality
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Stillness is not punishment — it’s an invitation.
✔️Your frequency is the foundation of everything you attract and allow.
✔️Forgiveness isn’t for the other person — it’s for you.
✔️Most people aren’t afraid of failure — they’re afraid of stillness.
✔️What you suppress, your children inherit.
✔️When you shift your energy, everything around you shifts too.
✔️Miracles are not magic — they’re alignment.
