    Ep 902: The Moment Pain Lets Go: What Most People Never Witness with Mike Hammond

    In this powerful episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat, we sit down with Mike Hammond for a real, unfiltered conversation about resilience, ownership, and what it actually takes to rebuild when life forces you to level up. Mike shares his personal journey through adversity, the hard lessons that shaped his leadership, and the mindset shifts required to move from reaction to intention. This isn't about hype. It's about standards. It's about discipline. It's about deciding who you are going to be when pressure hits. We talk about: • The defining moments that forced Mike to change • Why most people stay stuck in patterns they know aren't serving them • How adversity can either refine you or define you • Taking radical ownership instead of blaming circumstances • What rebuilding looks like behind the scenes • Leadership under pressure • Emotional control versus emotional reaction • Creating structure and discipline when motivation fades • Raising your standards in relationships, business, and personal growth Mike breaks down the difference between wanting change and becoming change. He speaks honestly about the uncomfortable realities of personal growth and why clarity comes from action — not waiting. Some powerful moments from this conversation: "You can't outperform your standards." "The story you keep telling yourself is either your prison or your permission." "Pressure doesn't break strong people. It exposes weak systems." "Growth starts where excuses end." The biggest takeaway? Nobody is coming to rescue you. The shift happens when you decide to lead yourself differently. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or called into a higher level of performance, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting and start building.

    Ep 899: Why Smart, Capable People Stay Stuck — And Don't Know Why with Stacie Shifflett

    What if the thing you think is holding you back isn't trauma, bad luck, or fear — but a pattern you've been unconsciously repeating your entire life? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Linda sits down with emotional intelligence and reinvention expert Stacey Shifflett to explore the truth about clarity, self-responsibility, and the courage it takes to stop betraying yourself. Stacey is the founder of Modern Consciousness and author of Treasure Map to Joy, and her work centers on one foundational idea: joy, clarity, and truth aren't things you chase — they are things you uncover. Together, Linda and Stacey dive into why high-functioning people still feel stuck, how emotional triggers act as clues, why we ignore red flags in relationships, and what it really takes to reinvent your life — at any stage. They unpack the cost of avoiding hard questions, the power of surrender, and how reclaiming your personal responsibility puts you back in control. This episode goes beyond surface-level mindset advice. It explores real grief, divorce, emotional patterns, fear, and self-worth — and how clarity changes everything. If you have ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in repeating cycles, afraid to make a hard decision, or uncertain about your next chapter — this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. In this episode, we discuss: • Why constant movement is often mistaken for purpose • The difference between emotional clarity and emotional avoidance • How complaining can become a substitute for real change • Why reinvention is a skill — not a personality trait • How surrender can unlock unexpected opportunities • The hidden ways we repeat relationship patterns • Why we tolerate red flags and avoid hard truths • The role fear plays in staying stuck • How personal responsibility restores your power • Why emotional triggers are actually invitations • The connection between grief, identity loss, and reinvention • How clarity prevents crisis • What it means to choose joy regardless of circumstance Memorable moments from this conversation: Clarity is courage plus awareness plus right action. What you tolerate becomes your normal. We are wired for certainty, even when certainty hurts us. You don't get the right answers unless you ask the right questions. Your trouble can become your transportation. When you calm your triggers, you calm your life. Just because you made a wrong decision once doesn't mean you can't turn around and make a right one. About Stacey Shifflett: Stacey is an emotional intelligence and reinvention expert, founder of Modern Consciousness, and author of Treasure Map to Joy. She helps individuals rebuild after divorce, burnout, loss, identity collapse, and emotional overload by teaching them how to see themselves clearly and interrupt unconscious patterns.

    Ep 898: Jon Taffer EXPOSES the #1 Reason Businesses Fail (Season 10 Premiere)

    In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Jon Taffer, America's hospitality authority, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and the force behind one of television's most enduring reality franchises, Bar Rescue. Season 10 of Bar Rescue premieres Sunday, February 22 at 10 PM ET/PT on Paramount Network, marking a major milestone for the hit series. For ten seasons, Jon has stepped into failing businesses, broken systems, emotional chaos, and high-pressure environments — transforming not just bars, but leadership, culture, and accountability. This season raises the stakes even higher with special guest appearances from *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick and professional wrestler and actress Mercedes Varnado, bringing new energy and perspective to the rescues. In this conversation, Linda and Jon dive into what it really takes to rescue more than a business. They talk about leadership under pressure, the role of conflict in growth, resilience in the face of chaos, and what separates thriving brands from those that collapse under their own ego. This episode is about comebacks, standards, accountability, and the courage to confront what is broken. What We Talk About in This Episode What still surprises Jon after ten seasons The biggest mistakes business owners make before help arrives Why systems often fail because of leadership The difference between fixing operations and fixing people Why leaders avoid conflict and how that damages companies How to tell if someone truly wants change Lessons learned consulting for major global brands What new entrepreneurs must get right from Day One The role of ego in business failure Mental resilience in high-stress environments The most emotional rescues over ten seasons What makes Season 10 different Working alongside Chris Kirkpatrick and Mercedes Varnado The long-term vision for Taffer's Tavern The inspiration behind Taffer's Browned Butter Bourbon Quotes from This Episode You cannot fix a business until you fix the leadership behind it. Conflict handled correctly is growth in disguise. Systems fail when standards fail. You cannot save someone who does not want to be saved. Standards are not suggestions. They are commitments.

    Ep 897: Harvard Cardiologist Reveals the Silent Plaque Killing Americans with Dr. John Osbourne

    In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. John Osborne, board-certified cardiologist, lipidologist, and founder of Clear Cardio, to challenge conventional thinking around cholesterol and heart disease. Dr. Osborne explains why LDL cholesterol alone is not a reliable standalone marker for cardiovascular disease and why focusing only on traditional lab numbers can create a false sense of security. He shares how plaque can quietly develop for decades before symptoms appear — and why the first symptom for many people is a heart attack or sudden cardiac event. The conversation explores the evolution of cardiac imaging, the role of ApoB and lipoprotein(a) in risk assessment, and how advanced cardiac CT combined with artificial intelligence now allows physicians to detect, measure, and track plaque in ways that were previously impossible. This episode reframes heart disease as something that can be identified early — and potentially prevented — when the right tools are used. What We Talk About in This Episode Why LDL cholesterol alone does not tell the full story The difference between risk factors and actual disease How ApoB improves cardiovascular risk assessment Why lipoprotein(a) is genetic and should be tested at least once The limits of traditional stress testing How plaque forms in the arterial wall decades before symptoms Calcium scoring versus full cardiac CT imaging How AI is transforming plaque detection and measurement Whether arterial plaque can be slowed or reversed The real role of statins and other cholesterol-lowering tools Why you cannot out-train genetics The one scan adults over 40 should consider Quotes from This Episode Cholesterol floating in your bloodstream does not tell me if it is sticking. Risk is not disease. The first question should be: do you have plaque? Half of men and two-thirds of women, their first symptom of heart disease is a heart attack or death. The problem is not that we cannot treat plaque. The problem is that we are not looking for it early enough. Early detection for heart disease should be as routine as screening for cancer.
