The Unapologetic Mother: Dr. Karla Lee on Power, Parenting & Presence

Everyone talks about money.Very few talk about power.In this episode of BILF Pod, Daniel G challenges some of the most repeated ideas in business and self-development:• Why money isn’t the real power source• Why sales isn’t manipulation, it’s belief• Why “finding your why” might be misleading• Why starting over is strength, not failure• Why skill will always outlast talentThis isn’t surface-level motivation.This is a perspective that forces you to confront your ego, your excuses, and your identity.Daniel G breaks down what it actually takes to build confidence, discipline, and long-term success, without hiding behind clichés.If you’ve ever questioned your purpose…If you’ve ever had to rebuild…If you’ve ever felt pressure to “figure it all out”…This conversation is for you.Watch until the end; the last segment might shift how you see yourself.Subscribe to BILF Pod for more real conversations that don’t just inspire; they challenge.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channelGet Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Daniel G→ @danielgFollow the Podcast → ‪@bilfpod

Most people only talk about the version of themselves that made it.They skip the uncertainty.The uncomfortable decisions.The moments where doing the right thing cost them money, relationships, or momentum.In this episode of BILF Pod, Jonnie Parsons sits down to unpack the quieter parts of the journey — where discipline was built before results, where consistency mattered more than labels, and where integrity forced hard exits instead of easy wins.This isn’t a conversation about overnight success.It’s about identity.Faith, doubt, pressure, and the long road of becoming someone your past couldn’t predict.No performance.No curated narrative.Just honest perspective from someone who chose structure over shortcuts.This episode isn’t about where you start.It’s about who you’re willing to become.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@UCYLvhwzAObRJHngDq0usF6g  00:00 – 00:40 | Hook & Intro00:40 – 08:20 | Origin & Early Struggles08:20 – 14:50 | Rock Bottom & Reflection14:50 – 25:00 | Rebuilding Identity & Mindset25:00 – 34:30 | Business, Discipline & Reality34:30 – 44:30 | Daily Habits & Influence44:30 – 49:00 | Outro & CreditsGet Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Jonnie Parsons → @jonnie_parsons_officialFollow the Podcast →  @bilfpod  #BILFPod #JonnieParsons #MaraDorne #PodcastClips #PodcastEpisode #LongFormPodcast #PersonalGrowth #LifeDiscipline #ConsistencyWins #IntegrityOverMoney #EntrepreneurMindset #LeadershipMindset #RealConversations #HardTruths #SelfDevelopment #MentalStrength #IdentityShift #FaithAndDoubt #BusinessLessons #SuccessJourney #NoShortcuts #InnerWork #BecomingBetter #ModernLeadership #PurposeDriven

We’re taught to follow the rules.Show up. Work hard. Stay in line.But what happens when your dream doesn’t fit the mold?When the path you’re passionate about is dominated by voices telling you it’s “not for you”?In this episode of BILF Pod, Jocelyn & Gianna open up about their journey as young women breaking into the DJ scene starting at 17, learning from mentors, and leaning on each other as best friends. They share the moments that tested them, the lessons that shaped them, and the inspiration they found in every connection along the way. We talk about friendship as fuel, ambition in a male-dominated industry, and the grind behind every first gig, every beat learned, and every stage conquered. They reveal how believing in yourself and learning from others turned obstacles into opportunities.This conversation explores the quiet work no one applauds: building your skill when no one notices, showing up when it’s easier to quit, and finding your voice when the world doubts you. It’s about courage over comfort, persistence over perfection, and friendship over competition.If you’ve ever started something everyone said you couldn’t, doubted your timing, or leaned on someone to push you forward, this episode will resonate deeply.Because success isn’t just about the stage.It’s about the journey that gets you there.If you haven't already... subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCYLvhwzAObRJHngDq0usF6g Get Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Jocelyn and Gianna → @jdandgf Follow the Podcast → @bilfpod

We’re taught to trust the system.The doctors. The prescriptions. The protocols.But what happens when your body keeps getting worse—and no one has real answers? In this episode of BILF Pod, Amanda joins us for an honest conversation about self-advocacy, chronic stress, and the moment she stopped outsourcing her health. After being prescribed multiple medications and even advised to consider exploratory surgery, Amanda chose a different path—one rooted in listening, questioning, and reclaiming responsibility for her body.We talk about what stress actually does beneath the surface, how fear keeps people stuck in cycles of symptoms, and why so many ignore their body’s signals until they’re impossible to dismiss. Amanda shares stories from her clients, including the invisible battles people fight long before diagnosis, weight loss, or healing ever becomes visible.This conversation explores the quiet work no one applauds: unlearning blind trust, standing your ground when you’re dismissed, and rebuilding your relationship with your body after years of disconnection. It’s about maintenance over quick fixes, awareness over avoidance, and courage over comfort.If you’ve ever felt unheard, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or unsure whether to trust your intuition, this episode will resonate deeply.Because real healing doesn’t start with answers.It starts with listening.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@bilfpodGet Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Brendan Boyd → @itsbrendanboydFollow the Podcast → @bilfpodIntro00:00 – 00:35Health Crisis & Refusing Surgery00:35 – 02:40Discovering Holistic Health02:40 – 04:20Building a Clinic from Scratch04:20 – 05:50The 27-Page Proposal & Rejection05:50 – 07:40Breaking Point & Walking Away07:40 – 09:20Starting Over Solo09:20 – 10:30Why “It’s Just Stress” Is a Lie10:30 – 12:30Women, Stress & the Nervous System12:30 – 14:40Sick vs. Burned Out14:40 – 16:20Health as a Business Advantage16:20 – 17:50Transformation Story (Client Case)17:50 – 21:00Final Lessons & Closing21:00 – 23:00#BILFPod #AmandaChinkin #Nutrition #HealthAdvocacy #HealingJourney #StressAndHealth #HolisticHealth #SelfTrust #ListenToYourBody #WellnessMindset #PersonalGrowth #SelfAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #ChronicStress #FearAndHealing #RealConversations #LifeLessons #Podcast #PodcastLife #PodcastClip #LongFormPodcast #MindsetPodcast #HealthPodcast #SelfImprovement

We all want success.But few talk about what it costs before it ever shows.In this episode of BILF Pod, Brendan joins us for a raw and honest conversation about adversity, identity, and the slow evolution of becoming someone stronger than your past. Raised in chaos and shaped by survival, Brendan shares how discipline wasn’t a choice; it was a necessity.We talk about solving money before chasing freedom, why ego can be the biggest barrier to growth, and how wisdom is often borrowed from the people willing to tell you the truth. Brendan breaks down the difference between the capital economy and the content economy, explaining how leverage, not cash, is what compounds over time.This conversation explores the quiet glow-up no one celebrates: the internal shift from survival mode to self-mastery. The trials that force you to grow. The moments that humble you. And the realization that success isn’t a destination, but an evolution of who you were versus who you’re becoming. If you’re navigating pressure, responsibility, and the feeling that you’re building something without immediate validation, this episode will meet you where you are.Because sometimes, the most important transformation is the one no one sees.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCYLvhwzAObRJHngDq0usF6g  Get Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Brendan Boyd → @itsbrendanboydFollow the Podcast → @bilfpod00:00 – 00:35 | Intro00:35 – 04:30 | Harsh Childhood Reality04:30 – 11:20 | Family, Drugs, and Early Trauma11:20 – 20:10 | Street Life, Violence, and Loss20:10 – 30:40 | Consequences, Survival, and Prison Mindset30:40 – 39:30 | Turning Point & Personal Awakening39:30 – 46:20 | Discipline, Responsibility, and Self-Control46:20 – 50:45 | Lessons Learned & Final Message#BILFPod #Brendan #MaraDorner #Mara #SuccessMindset #Adversity #Discipline #PersonalGrowth #SelfMastery #LifeLessons #RealConversations #EntrepreneurMindset #MentalStrength #Leverage #ContentEconomy #ModernSuccess #GrowthJourney #Podcast #PodcastLife #PodcastClip #LongFormPodcast #MindsetPodcast #SelfImprovement #Motivation

We all chase a dream.But no one talks about what happens when life asks you to carry more than one at the same time.Kelsey Addams joins us for a deeply honest conversation about becoming a woman, an artist, and a mother—all at once. From moving to NYC with a lifelong dream of acting to discovering how content creation became a bridge rather than a distraction, Kelsey opens up about the realities behind the journey people don’t see.We talk about dating yourself before expecting love from others, how self-love isn’t something you wake up with but something you practice, and why motherhood doesn’t soften you—it reveals you. She shares what it means to build a life piece by piece while raising a child, navigating ambition without guilt, and learning to give yourself grace while still moving forward.This episode explores the identity shifts no one prepares you for, how becoming a mom reshaped the way Kelsey sees herself and her purpose, and why you don’t need to have it all figured out to be on the right path.If you’re balancing dreams, responsibilities, and the quiet pressure to “have it all together,” this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channel.00:00 – 01:20Intro: Authenticity, Energy & First Impressions01:20 – 03:30How Modeling Started & Breaking Industry Rules03:30 – 05:10From Music Videos to Creative Expression05:10 – 06:40Why Quality & Intentional Content Matter06:40 – 08:30Fashion, Identity & Cultural Influence08:30 – 10:20Confidence, Motherhood & Self-Respect10:20 – 12:00Dating Yourself & Emotional Independence12:00 – 13:40Motherhood as a Mirror for Growth13:40 – 15:20Creative Evolution: Acting, Hosting & Vision15:20 – 16:50Trusting the Journey & Letting Go of Control16:50 – 18:00What’s Next & Closing ReflectionsGet Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Kelsey Addams → @koolkelseyFollow the Podcast → @bilfpod#KelseyAddams #BILFPodcast #WomenInConversation #MotherhoodJourney #SelfLoveEvolution #ChasingTheDream #FindingMyWay #ModernMotherhood #WomenWhoCreate #ActingJourney #NYCLife #PersonalGrowthStory #ChoosingYourself #BuildingWhileBecoming #WomenSupportingWomen #CreativeLife #LifeUnfiltered #RealConversations #PurposeDrivenLife #GrowthMindset

We all want to change. But how many of us actually maintain it?Hunter Stoler joins us to talk about the transformation no one tells you about, the part that comes after you've already lost the weight. Not the before and after photos, not the 90-day challenge, but the years of keeping it off while actually enjoying your life.This episode breaks down what it's really like to go from destroying your body daily to building one that serves you, why losing weight is the easy part and maintenance is where most people fail, how he eats food he loves without restriction or guilt, and what it means to turn your personal transformation into a mission that impacts thousands.We talk about diet as a pattern of eating, not punishment; why one workout can pull you back on track when you've fallen off; the role genetics and your parents' habits played in shaping your health; why building muscle matters for everyone regardless of gender; and what happens when you stop treating change as a destination and start treating it as a lifestyle.If you've ever lost weight just to gain it back, or if you're tired of fighting against your own habits, this conversation will give you a new way to see your journey.If you haven't already... subscribe to the channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@UCYLvhwzAObRJHngDq0usF6g 00:00 – 00:38 – Intro00:38 – 02:27 – Welcome & Gift Explanation02:27 – 06:20 – Origins & Reading People06:20–08:40—Intuition vs Prediction08:40 – 12:00 – Inherited Gift & Self-Identity12:00 – 15:01 – Navigating People & Career15:01 – 19:18 – Celebrities & Responsibility19:18 – 23:10 – Personal Limits & Dating23:10 – 24:00 – Protecting Energy24:00–29:36—Business Strategy & Projects29:36 – 39:58 – Global Vision & Closing39:58 – 41:14 – Authenticity & New Coaches' Advice41:14 – 42:26 – Social Media & Audience42:26 – 44:32 – Health & Lifestyle44:32 – 47:50 – Wellness Trends & Meal Plans47:50 – 48:00 – Collaborations & Final AdviceGet Connected:Follow Mara Dorne → @maradorneFollow Hunter Stoler → @healthwithhunterFollow the Podcast → @bilfpod
