“There is nothing wrong with you or any of us. We are absolutely beautiful, whole beings, just as we are, and we do not need to prove anything to anybody. You are everything already inside. You're the whole world.” —Carmell Clark

• The difference between work life balance and balancing life and work
• How confidence erodes despite competence
• Radical self acceptance as the foundation of real confidence
• Entrepreneurial trauma and loss of intrinsic motivation

“We're positive reinforcement. We're not about punitive. We're not saying that you can't drink. What we're saying is, be responsible.” —Beth McBride

“People don't change their behavior because we make them feel bad about it. Shame doesn't work. I would love for people to feel incentivized to make the right choice, supported in making the right choice, and feel that there's a cultural pressure to make the right choice because that is where we'll see a difference.” —Carli Seymour

A single choice can change a family forever, and silence around that choice keeps the cycle alive. This conversation sits in the space where grief meets responsibility and where culture quietly decides what behavior gets a pass. It asks why something preventable still feels accepted in so many communities.

Beth McBride and her daughter Carli Seymour share the story of losing their son and brother, Bobby, to a drunk driver, and how that loss led them to change Montana law and cofound Bar Fairies, a nonprofit focused on positive reinforcement and real cultural change around drinking and driving.

Press play for a powerful, grounded conversation about grief, accountability, and what it looks like to turn heartbreak into action.

• Bobby’s story and the night that changed everything
• Why Montana’s DUI laws failed victims for decades
• How Bobby’s Law became a reality
• The origin of Bar Fairies and why positive reinforcement works
• Rural drinking culture and why it is harder to change

“Stress is growth. It's the driver of evolution itself. Stress is what creates everything. We need to reframe the very meaning of stress so that we don't fear it.” —Tammy Allen

Some days, life feels like one long sprint where stress keeps piling up faster than clarity. There are moments when the world pushes harder than expected, and it becomes tempting to believe the pressure means something is wrong. It may be worth considering that stress could be pointing toward growth instead of defeat.

Tammy Allen brings decades of real-life experience to this idea, shaped by a childhood marked by responsibility, a violent early relationship she escaped, and a lifetime of reinvention that led to her work on stress, intuition, and resilience. Her journey fuels her mission to help others turn survival mode into grounded confidence.

Press play for an honest, energizing look at stress that leaves room for hope, humor, and real change.

Topics covered:
