UNTAUGHT Learn faster. Remember more. Stop blanking under pressure

      UNTAUGHT  Learn faster. Remember more. Stop blanking under pressure The Science of Why You Forget Names — and What Actually Fixes It You meet someone at a conference. They tell you their name. You repeat it back, shake their hand, maybe even comment on it. Ten seconds later, someone else joins the conversation. Now you need to introduce your new acquaintance. And the name is gone. Not fuzzy. Not on the tip of your tongue. Just simply gone, the way a browser tab closes without a trace. If this has happened to you, the instinct is to treat it as a personal failing. A sign your memory isn't as sharp as you'd like. It isn't that. Remembering names and faces reliably has very little to do with how smart or attentive you are. It has everything to do with something simpler: two very different kinds of information, and a brain that was only ever built to handle one of them well. This is one of the exact problems  UNTAUGHT: The Memory System You Were Never Taught t...

The White Rabbit Method: A Research-Backed Guide to Transforming the Client Experience, Building Loyalty and Rediscovering the Meaning in Your Work

Image
      The White Rabbit Method: A Research-Backed Guide to Transforming the Client Experience, Building Loyalty and Rediscovering the Meaning in Your Work Previously published as The White Rabbit Method by Alicia Anne Taylor. What if the most important part of a beauty treatment is not the treatment itself? A client experiences your salon through an entire nervous system. She notices the welcome, the atmosphere, the lighting, the sound, the scent, the consultation, your touch, and whether you truly listened—even when she cannot explain why an appointment felt exceptional or disappointing. The White Rabbit Method is a fascinating, research-backed guide to the client experience. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural research and real salon experience, Alicia Anne Taylor explores how clients consciously and subconsciously perceive your salon and treatments—and shows how apparently small details can build trust, improve retention and create an experience people genuinely want t...

                GET REAL ABOUT GRIEF Real Stories of Heartbreak, Hope, and Healing By Jennifer Barrette | Published by Blackstone Publishing | Coming January 5, 2027 Part story collection. Part survival guide. Part permission slip to feel it all. Grief. Just one syllable, yet it can rattle your entire world like an unexpected earthquake. And here's the thing about grief: it doesn't always arrive dressed in black, carrying flowers, or accompanied by a sympathy card. Sometimes it arrives with divorce papers. A devastating diagnosis.

      Being the Light: A Practical Guide to Walter Russell’s Teachings in The Secret of Light & The Divine Iliad What if science and spirituality were never meant to be separate? In 1921, artist and scientist Walter Russell entered a state of expanded consciousness that revealed the hidden structure of creation itself.

It bridges metaphysics and daily life, showing you how to live from the same Source energy that powers the stars. Inside, you’ll discover: The truth behind matter, motion, and stillness How desire becomes the blueprint of creation Why you were never separate from the Source Where science and spirituality finally meet Pra...

    Help Us Build the Make Peace With Life Movement What if one simple message could change someone's life? What if one podcast episode helped someone realize they weren't broken? What if one conversation helped someone smile again after months of struggling? That's why we created the  Make Peace With Life Podcast . This isn't just another podcast. It's the beginning of a movement. You Are Not Broken One of the biggest lies people hear today is that they're somehow "broken." The world constantly tells us we need to be fixed. That we're not successful enough. Not attractive enough. Not productive enough. Not spiritual enough. Not enough. We believe something very different. We believe that you are  not broken . You're human. You're growing. You're learning. You're evolving. Sometimes life knocks us down. Sometimes we lose our way. Sometimes we simply need someone to remind us that happiness is still possible. That's exactly what ...
