Change is hard but it doesn't mean you have to be hard on yourself.

No company decides to fail. It drifts there one comfortable lie at a time. Kaz Nejatian took over Opendoor when it was just months away from bankruptcy and set out to rebuild it from the ground up. What happened next shocked everyone. Most turnaround stories are told years later, by the winner, after the ending is already known. That's why they always sound clean and polished. This one doesn't have an ending yet, and it's anything but clean and polished. Kaz takes us inside while it's still happening. We discuss why great companies drift away from reality, why truth has to matter more than feelings, and how competent people who don't believe in the mission quietly destroy an organization. He shares the principles behind rebuilding culture, eliminating bureaucracy, making faster decisions, using AI to flatten management, and creating teams that move with speed and ownership. One of the key things I learned in this conversation is that the comfortable lies that sink a company are the same ones that sink a career. ------ Chapters: (0:00) How Opendoor Came Back from the Dead (1:32) How Mismanagement Causes Atrophy (4:28) The Blueprint that Changed Opendoor (5:33) Rewriting the Book on Company Turnarounds (5:57) The People You Hire Is the Company You Build (6:31) Be a Nuclear Bomb of Truth (7:52) How to Change a Losing Company Culture (8:07) Commit to Truth Over Feelings (8:33) The Most Dangerous Kind of Employee (9:13) Key Principles to Turning Around a Company (11:59) Meetings Are a Bug in the System (12:30) Why It's Rude to Not Disagree (13:05) Say the Thing Culture (15:04) How AI Is Supercharging Opendoor (18:16) Most Powerful Mental Models (22:50) Why Remote Workplaces Don't Succeed (24:56) How Opendoor Killed Distractions (26:09) The Key to Being a Market Maker (35:20) How Companies Fall Off Course Over Time (37:24) The Power of Speaking Simply (43:27) Turnaround Lessons for Life (51:10) Excellence Is Capacity to Take Pain ------ Newsletter: The Brain Food newsletter delivers actionable insights and thoughtful ideas every Sunday.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim challenges one of the most basic assumptions people carry: that they are their bodies. He asks listeners to ponder a simple but destabilizing question — who told you that you are a body? — and reveals how every limitation a person experiences, from health fears to financial lack, traces back to this single point of identification.  Jim unpacks how conditioning from parents, culture, science, and society trains people from childhood to identify as the body rather than as the awareness inhabiting it. Using examples like family-inherited illness and Angelina Jolie's preventative mastectomy, he shows how this identification keeps people trapped in the body's limitations — and offers a series of deliberate questions designed to shift that identity toward consciousness, life, and source instead.  Listeners are invited to sit with each question Jim poses and let a lifetime of body-based conditioning begin to loosen its grip.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  (00:00) Who told you that you are a body? — Jim opens with the central question of the episode, introducing the idea that the body is only a container, not the true self.  (02:57) Change starts with awareness, not effort — Jim explains that focusing on "fixing" yourself keeps you trapped in the identity you're trying to leave, and that real change begins with a shift in awareness.  (05:52) Your body is only an assumption — Jim breaks down how what you believe about your body, including inherited illness or limitation, is conditioning rather than truth.  (08:48) The body is a container, not you — Jim introduces the core distinction between the body as vehicle and the life force, soul, and awareness that inhabits it.  (12:12) Life doesn't need the body — Jim explains that consciousness is the cause and the body is the effect, and that identifying as life instead of body dissolves the limitations tied to illness, fear, and lack.  (17:53) You are not confined to the body — Jim explores how consciousness isn't limited to physical space, touching on dream time, astral travel, and remote viewing as evidence.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!    Transformational Takeaway  Every fear, illness, and limitation a person carries exists because they've identified as the body rather than as the life animating it. The body is simply the vehicle; the truth is consciousness, awareness, life itself. Letting that identification shift — even slightly — is where real freedom begins.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He's peaked. He's reached his zenith and there ain't nowhere to go from there. But worry not, because he's referring to his DJing career and not his podcasting one…Then it's onto kids' parties and the big question: is John's conduct in the Bureau de Change of the Mind the best training ground for dealing with 20 hungry kids? All this plus some top tier shame, a cracking Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that unearths the bombshell revelation that John's book 'Thirst' was a ripoff of the OG blubography, Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species'.

Brantley Gilbert joins The Brothers Hunt for one of the most honest and funniest conversations ever recorded in God's Country. Brantley opens up about the addiction that nearly controlled his life, revealing why he never drank simply to have fun—he drank to quiet the noise. He shares what finally pushed him toward sobriety, what Keith Urban told him about performing sober, and the unforgettable advice Toby Keith gave him when he needed to fight his way forward. The boys also dig into Brantley's new album, Sins of the Father, including the fear that inspired its title track, his prayer that his children won't have to pay for his past, and how becoming a husband and father completely changed his priorities. Brantley also shares the powerful story behind “Beggin' for Change” with Jelly Roll and explains why addiction doesn't care who you are or where you come from. Of course, it wouldn't be God's Country without some chaos. Brantley reveals why he broke out an American-flag Speedo on a family beach trip, defends Luke Bryan from his critics, reacts to the Mandela Effect, and explains why winning over ten strangers in a bar can be harder than performing for 30,000 people. This episode has it all: addiction, recovery, faith, fatherhood, country music, hunting stories and plenty of redneck nonsense. Brantley Gilbert's new album, Sins of the Father, arrives July 24. Subscribe to God's Country for more honest conversations at the intersection of country music, faith, family and the great outdoors. Presented by Tactacam.

Lewis Ward and Greg Posner open Games for Change 2026 with three interviewson the calendar, a Player Driven happy hour that night, and no idea yet howany of it goes.A new Raising Good Gamers white paper lands at the show this week: a meta-analysis of roughly 200,000 studies on what parents actually need to knowabout games and kids, positives included. Lewis breaks down what's in it,who funded the research behind it, and why Tencent has a rational commercialinterest in closing the gap between what parents fear and what playersactually do.Greg makes the trust and safety case from the Player Driven side.

Chris explains the squadron's culture, what makes it unique among allied SOF aviation units, the philosophy of "no mission too small," the addition of the CE-145C Vigilance, and the standards that define one of Canada's most demanding aviation communities. We also discuss leadership, mission command, and how 427 built a reputation for professionalism, adaptability, and trust while supporting special operations around the world.CONTINUE THE FLIGHTEXPLORE THE LOGBOOKMore stories from RCAF and mission aviation pilotshttps://podpilotproject.transistor.fm/episodesCHAPTERS(00:00:00) Introduction and Welcome(00:02:41) How 427 Squadron Reinvented Itself(00:03:39) Building One Special Operations Aviation Culture(00:06:49) Why the Squadron Had to Change(00:09:44) Living Through the Transformation(00:13:10) Earning a Reputation in Special Operations Aviation(00:14:49) "No Mission Too Small"(00:18:46) Expanding the Mission with the CE-145C Vigilance(00:20:44) Learning to Think Beyond Helicopters(00:22:53) What Makes 427 Different?(00:26:21) Becoming an Organic CANSOFCOM Capability(00:28:44) The Professionals Behind Every Mission(00:30:04) Why Communications Can Make or Break a Mission(00:31:12) Building Trust with Canada's Special Operations Forces(00:33:44) Maintaining Elite Standards(00:37:52) Rewriting the Rules: The New TOCA(00:41:35) The Career Path of a Special Operations Aviator(00:44:57) Balancing Risk and Mission Success(00:46:22) Leading an Elite Squadron(00:47:34) The Hardest Decisions as Commanding Officer(00:49:57) Next Time: Inside SOTAC

Orla O'Flaherty is back! This time we're getting personal — nervous system regulation, hormones, and how to manage stress while you're building a business (because let's be honest, that stress is real).We talk about why slow, steady reputation-building beats chasing follower counts, why networking still matters, and where AI genuinely helps with the practical stuff — but where it can also keep you stuck in your head and make loneliness worse if you start using it as your therapist.Orla walks through her somatic tools — "anchors," full-body yes/no signals, and why feeling and releasing uncomfortable emotions (anger especially) beats bypassing them every time. We get into the link between anxiety and control/safety, why awareness has to come with embodiment, and then into the cycle stuff — the cortisol-progesterone relationship, how blood sugar regulation supports your stress levels, appetite, and workplace realities. And why compassion, not shame, is what actually changes behaviour.Timestamps: 00:00 Podcast Intro Orla Returns 01:03 Being Searchable Slow Growth 03:24 Quality Followers Real Business 05:18 Redefining Businesswoman Mindset 06:51 AI Versus Human Connection 14:13 Anchors Stop Chasing 16:30 Manifestation Want Versus Need 20:42 Hypervigilance And Emotions 22:07 Anger Suppression Release 25:59 Anxiety Control And Safety 27:28 Childhood Wiring and Change 28:04 Awareness Before Bodywork 28:57 AI as Somatic Mirror 30:34 Spiritual Bypass and Fitness 32:42 Full Body Yes and No 34:42 Boredom and Routine Tension 36:50 Cyclical Structure for Women 39:28 Cycle Myths and Hormone Phases 45:10 Cortisol Blood Sugar Link 49:45 Food Basics Under Stress 52:46 Support Without Shame 55:43 Dismantling Inner ShameLinks & Resources: Instagram - Orla O'Flaherty here Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Apply for NourisHer health & fitness coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with me on Instagram here Connect with me on Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.Music b LiQWYD Free download: hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb [http://hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb] Promoted by FreeMusicPromo [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbycji-eySnM3WD8mbxPUSQ] / @freemusicpromo

Here’s my prayer for you today: May you be led by what is in you, not by what is around you. Because what is around you is loud. Distractions. Drama. Disappointment. Fear. Bad news. Negative people. The invitation to live a small, defeated, mediocre life is everywhere. But daughter of God, you were never created to live looking down. Downcast. Downtrodden. Down in the dumps. Down is not your direction. And here’s how I know: Because of what is in you. Romans 8:9 says, “You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.” Then just a few verses later, Romans 8:15 says, “You have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.” Did you catch that? God’s Spirit lives in you. Not beside you. Not near you. Not occasionally visiting you. In you. The mountain-moving, sea-parting, chain-breaking, prison-shaking, death-defeating power of Almighty God lives in you. Let that sink in. Because the enemy works overtime trying to make you forget it. He wants your attention on your failures instead of your Father. He wants your focus on your flaws instead of God’s power. He wants you obsessing over your weight, your money, your job, your house, your image, your circumstances—anything that keeps your eyes off the greatest reality of your life: The Spirit of God lives within you. If you’re consumed by what you see in the mirror, you’ll forget what Jesus placed inside of you. If you’re focused on your problems, you’ll forget you already have access to the power to overcome them. If you’re drowning in negative thoughts, you’ll start believing you’re stuck. But you’re not stuck. You’ve just forgotten what’s in you. The Spirit of God has already given you power to rise. Power to heal. Power to overcome. Power to keep going. Don’t sacrifice your power by entertaining pitiful. I know I’ve done it. I’ve had seasons where I focused more on my problems than my power. More on my circumstances than my Savior. And every single time, I felt defeated. Because when I play pitiful, I stop walking powerful. So let me ask you: Have you been focused on your problems? Have you been rehearsing your disappointments? Have you been sitting in self-pity? Because here’s something I learned a long time ago: You can be pitiful or you can be powerful, but you cannot be both. (Thank you Joyce Meyer.) At nineteen years old, I suffered a massive stroke. I was unable to walk or talk. While I was in the hospital, my newlywed husband kept my family away. He told them I was okay. At the time, I couldn’t understand why my mama and daddy weren’t by my bed. But he understood something I didn’t. Pity would have paralyzed me. Pity would have kept me in that bed. Pity would have convinced me I was a victim instead of a victor. My parents would have given me pity. So my young husband pushed me. He challenged me. He refused to hand me pity. And today I walk, talk, and live whole because I was offered God’s power instead of people’s pity. So why would we choose pity now? Girl, pity never looks good on you. But God’s power? That looks absolutely beautiful on you. Because of the Spirit living in you, defeat is no longer your identity. Mediocrity is no longer your calling. Fear is no longer your master. You don’t wake up expecting less. You don’t settle for surviving. Jesus didn’t die so you could live a little life. He came that you might have life—and have it abundantly. So stop sitting in pity over everything that’s wrong. Not when the Spirit of the Almighty lives in you. Oh no. You have every reason to get excited about today. Every reason to expect good things. Every reason to believe that what stands before you is smaller than the God within you. Why? Because God’s Spirit lives in you. You are not controlled by your feelings. You are not a slave to fear. You are a daughter of the King. And daughters of the King don’t walk through life defeated. They walk with authority. They walk with confidence. They walk knowing who they belong to. So remember this today: Nothing you face is greater than the Spirit within you. You are not helpless. You are not hopeless. You are not stuck. And if you feel that way, you’ve believed a lie that was never yours to carry. Don’t buy what the enemy is selling. A daughter of the King should never settle for the leftovers of a defeated devil. Remember what’s in you. The same power that spoke the universe into existence lives in you. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. The same power that shattered prison walls and broke chains lives in you. The same power that turned water into wine lives in you. That means life is in you. Healing is in you. Freedom is in you. Victory is in you. Change is in you. Hope is in you. Power is in you. So don’t let what is around you make you forget what is in you. The circumstances are real. The challenges are real. The obstacles are real. But none of them are greater than the Spirit of God dwelling within you. That Spirit does not make you a fearful slave. That Spirit makes you a daughter. He brings you into the family. He places a crown upon your head. He declares, “You belong.” So straighten your crown, girl. Life may have knocked you around, but it has not changed who you are. You are chosen. You are loved. You are redeemed. You are a daughter of the King. And the power of Almighty God lives within you. So today, be powerful. Not pitiful.

Why do so many people genuinely want to change... yet continue repeating the same behaviors year after year?   Why do New Year's resolutions fail? Why does motivation disappear? And why do so many intelligent, successful people stay trapped in habits they desperately want to break?   In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with transformation consultant, executive coach, and bestselling author Michael J. López to explore the neuroscience behind lasting behavioral change.   Drawing from more than two decades of experience helping Fortune 500 companies navigate transformation, Michael explains why nearly 70% of change initiatives fail—and why the same principles apply to our personal lives.   Together, Frank and Michael bridge the gap between neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and identity transformation, showing listeners why lasting change isn't about trying harder—it's about understanding how the brain actually works.   If you've ever struggled to stay consistent with your goals, break a destructive habit, overcome addiction, or become the person you know you're capable of becoming, this conversation will completely reshape the way you think about personal transformation.     In This Episode You'll Learn Why nearly 70% of transformations fail   The real reason motivation eventually disappears   Why willpower alone is never enough   How your brain is wired to resist change   Why identity matters more than behavior   The neuroscience behind dopamine and habit formation   How to intentionally rewire your brain through difficult experiences   Why mistakes are essential for adult learning and neuroplasticity   The surprising reason your brain actually craves familiarity—even when it's unhealthy   How stress can become one of your greatest tools for growth   Why your environment plays such a powerful role in transformation   How to build resilience by strengthening your brain's "effort center"   Practical strategies anyone can begin using today to create lasting change     About Michael J. López Michael J.

Roughly half of the average American's daily calories now come from ultra-processed foods — and cutting them out changes how you feel faster than you'd expect. Nurse Doza breaks down five shifts that show up within weeks: steadier blood sugar and energy, a healing gut, lower inflammation, clearer thinking, and hunger hormones that finally reset. Learn what really separates processed from ultra-processed food, and why just two weeks of whole food can change everything. Featured Product: Boost by MSW Nutrition When you're riding the ultra-processed blood-sugar roller coaster, energy is the first casualty — the mid-afternoon crash, the brain fog, the reach for the next quick fix. Boost is the multivitamin you can actually feel: 2,500 mcg of methylated B12, a full multivitamin plus B-complex, electrolytes, and plant-based antioxidants including S-acetyl-L-glutathione. Clean, slow-release energy from one stick in water — no added sugar, no crash — so real food finally has a fair shot at steadying you out.

There is a version of professionalism in medicine that looks like competence from the outside and feels like self-erasure from the inside. Dr. Kathleen Muldoon is an anthropologist who teaches in a medical school, coaches doctors through burnout, and navigates the healthcare system daily as the mother of a medically complex child with 22 specialists on his care team. In this episode, she brings all of those lenses to a conversation about psychological safety, curiosity, and what it actually costs doctors when they are trained to hide who they are. The question she keeps coming back to is one worth sitting with: what kind of clinical environment are you co-constructing, and what small things could you do differently starting today? Highlights [04:00]: Dr. Muldoon explains what burnout looks like from her vantage point, and why she sees it less as exhaustion and more as a detachment that builds quietly in environments where asking questions does not feel safe. [08:00]: She describes what it is like to be a parent of a medically complex child navigating a care team of 22 specialists, and why staying curious in clinical encounters matters to her in a way that is deeply personal. [14:00]: Dr. Muldoon defines psychological safety in clinical environments, and why the ability to ask a question or challenge a protocol without it being received as a threat is the foundation of both good learning and good medicine. [19:00]: She introduces improv theater as a tool for practicing psychological safety in low-stakes environments, and explains why the techniques were originally developed for building empathy across difference, not for getting laughs. [27:00]: The hidden cost of professionalism. Dr. Muldoon describes what happens when the cultural ceremonies of becoming a doctor teach students to erase themselves, and why that self-erasure may be one of the least examined drivers of burnout. [36:00]: A five-second check-in practice she uses at the start of every workshop she runs, and why something that small can shift the entire dynamic of a clinical team. Three Key Takeaways 1. Psychological safety is not about being comfortable. It is about being able to ask the question. Dr. Muldoon is precise about what she means by psychological safety in clinical settings. It is not warmth, friendliness, or the absence of conflict. It is the specific experience of being able to ask a question, name a concern, or push back on a protocol without it being received as a challenge to someone's authority. In hierarchical environments like medicine, that experience is rarer than most people acknowledge. And without it, doctors stop asking, students stop questioning, and teams stop learning. The cost is not just cultural. It is clinical. 2. The hidden cost of professionalism is self-erasure. Dr. Muldoon uses the language of anthropology to describe something doctors will recognize immediately. The white coat ceremony, the board exams, the residency rituals, all of the cultural markers that induct someone into the profession of medicine also teach a specific lesson: hide what you are feeling, perform competence, and leave the full version of yourself outside the clinic door. She argues that this inculcation of professionalism, however well-intentioned, is masking emotional suppression on a systemic scale. And that suppression, accumulated over years of training and practice, is one of the most underexamined contributors to burnout. 3. Change in a system that feels immovable starts with influence, not control. Dr. Muldoon is clear that she is not asking anyone to burn the system down. What she offers instead is a reframe: trade control for influence. You may not be able to change the appointment schedule, the EMR, or the staffing model. But you can ask a better question in a difficult encounter, check in with your team before a shift, keep a parallel chart of moments that did not feel right, and model a different way of being in the room. Those small acts compound. And in her experience, they matter more than most people expect. Guest Bio Dr. Kathleen Muldoon is an anthropologist, medical educator, and coach based in Arizona. She is a professor at a medical school where she teaches anatomy and human development, and brings her training in applied improvisational theater into workshops designed to build psychological safety, team connection, and humane clinical environments. Dr. Muldoon coaches doctors and medical students navigating burnout and career transitions, and writes about humanity in medicine through her Substack publication and on KevinMD. She also draws on her experience as the mother of a medically complex child to bring a patient and caregiver perspective to her work with clinical teams.

Change can feel like the ground shifting beneath your feet, even when it's a promotion, a new opportunity, or a long-awaited next step. New leadership responsibilities, organizational change, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or a job market transformed by AI can all trigger the same instinct: work harder, push through, and put yourself last.In this episode, we sit down with Ashwini Balasubramanian, Vice President of Research & Development for 3M's Transportation and Energy business and author of the forthcoming book Map Your Ascent: Embracing Change as Your Leadership Superpower. Moderated by VEST member Srijita Ghosh, the conversation explores how to transform uncertainty from something to fear into one of your greatest leadership advantages.Ashwini explains why change feels so difficult, even for high performers, unpacking the fear of losing control, competence, and confidence. She shares practical frameworks for shifting your mindset from focusing on what you might lose to asking who you can become. Together, they explore her Map Your Ascent framework, including how your beliefs shape your leadership, why your perspective evolves through change, and how to cultivate a presence that inspires confidence even in uncertain moments.The conversation also tackles one of the biggest challenges facing ambitious women today: distinguishing between perseverance and self-sacrifice. Ashwini shares the weekly reflection practice she uses to stay grounded, the "curiosity versus coasting" test that signals when it's time for a change, and practical strategies for navigating career transitions with intention. She also offers actionable advice on building sponsors, identifying transferable skills, creating an opportunity filter for major career decisions, and advocating for yourself in an increasingly uncertain world.Whether you're navigating a career transition, leading through organizational change, considering your next big move, or simply trying to thrive through a demanding season without defaulting to depletion, this episode will leave you with practical tools and a renewed perspective on how change can become your greatest catalyst for growth.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable episode, Chase and Chris explain why one bad meal, missed workout, or hard week does not mean you failed.They talk about the stories people tell themselves after making a mistake. When you say things like, “I can never stay consistent,” it becomes harder to get back on track. Instead, they encourage you to focus on the next choice you can make right now.They also answer a question about friends and family who pressure you to “live a little” when you are trying to make healthier choices. Chase and Chris explain how to set clear boundaries, stop overexplaining your decisions, and ask the people close to you for support.Next, they break down how poor sleep can make you feel hungrier, increase cravings, lower your energy, and make good food choices harder. They also explain why sleep can affect the number you see on the scale.The episode also covers why you may feel weaker during workouts. One weaker workout is not always a problem.

At 20 years old, Queen Margaret University student Laura Stevenson traveled from Scotland to Martha's Vineyard for a six-month study abroad internship. At the time, it felt like nothing more than a graduation requirement. She had no idea she was living through a defining moment.In this episode of Stories of Change & Creativity, Laura reflects on the experience that changed her life.  And she didn't recognize it until years later. Together, we explore how defining moments sometimes reveal their true value - in the rear view mirror.Laura shares how living and working in the United States helped build her confidence and independence. It wasn't until she began helping students prepare for their own international experiences that she realized the greatest value of study abroad wasn't the work itself—it was the personal growth that came from stepping outside her comfort zone.So far, Laura has traveled to nearly 50 countries and serves as an International Officer at Queen Margaret University.  In this role, she helps students recognize the life-changing value of international education while they're still living it.As I listened to Laura's story, I was reminded that defining moments rarely jump up and grab us. Sometimes we only understand their significance when we look back and connect the dots. I certainly can relate.In This EpisodeWhy Laura almost overlooked one of the most important experiences of her lifeHow a study abroad internship became a defining momentWhy reflection is essential to personal growthHow international experiences prepare us for life—not just careersLaura's passion for travel, including why Paris captured her heartDid you enjoy this episode? send me a text!

What if the strongest people you know are also carrying the heaviest burdens? Many women have spent decades holding families together, leading at work, caring for aging parents, supporting spouses, raising children, and showing up for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, they learned to hide their grief, disappointment, exhaustion, and heartbreak behind competence. In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. mOe Anderson welcomes fantasy author Justin Anderson (J. Vaelorin) to explore why so many women suffer silently, how grief changes us without defining us, and why storytelling can become a powerful form of emotional healing. Raised by remarkable women without a consistent father figure, Justin shares how his mother, sister, and grandmother shaped not only the man he became but also the compassionate writer he is today. His dark fantasy novels are more than entertainment—they're a therapeutic space where readers can safely confront grief, resilience, and hope. One of the most touching moments in this conversation is learning that Justin read Dr. mOe Anderson's personal HuffPost essay about living with cancer and was inspired to write the beautiful narrated piece "A Thread Pulled Too Tight," honoring the invisible emotional burdens carried by so many women. We encourage you to experience it yourself: https://vaelorinverse.com/a-thread-pulled-too-tight/ Whether you've experienced loss, caregiver fatigue, career disappointment, divorce, illness, or simply the quiet weight of always being "the strong one," this episode offers permission to acknowledge your pain while remembering Justin's powerful reminder:   "We are not broken." In this episode you'll discover: Why strong women often don't feel safe grieving openly The surprising connection between fantasy fiction and emotional healing Why different professions process grief differently Why more Baby Boomer women are embracing fantasy fiction How storytelling can help us process emotions we struggle to express The meaning behind Justin's life philosophy: We are not broken Memorable Quotes "We're not broken. We're being forged." "Fantasy doesn't help us escape reality. Sometimes it helps us finally face it." About Justin Anderson Justin Anderson writes dark fantasy under the pen name J. Vaelorin, creating stories that blend grief, hope, resilience, and healing into immersive fantasy worlds. His writing explores emotional truths through imaginative storytelling, helping readers recognize that life's deepest wounds can become sources of strength.

July 19th  | Dream Disciple  |  Acts 2:42; Ephesians 3:14–21Are you running on empty?Too many believers find themselves spiritually exhausted—coasting into church hoping for just enough fuel to make it through another week. But God never intended His people to live burned out, ashamed, or powerless.In this message from the DREAM Disciple series, Pastor Peyton Coker explores what it means to become a "Knees Down" disciple through Acts 2:42 and Ephesians 3:14–21. From Paul's powerful prayer for the church, we discover that a life marked by humble dependence on God is the pathway to spiritual strength, His manifest presence, and lasting transformation.Together we'll learn how to:Change your posture by humbling yourself before God.Change your power source from self-reliance to the Holy Spirit.Be filled with God's presence instead of simply asking Him for His gifts.Choose praise, trusting that God can do far more than we could ever ask or imagine.This message is a call to stop asking for more from God and begin asking for more of God. When we bow our knees before the Father, we discover the power, love, and fullness that only He can provide.God isn't calling you to coast through life on empty—He's inviting you to live full.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

This is episode 100. And it is the episode Diane Gudmundson has been building toward for thirty years.In this milestone episode, Diane tells the complete origin story behind the Roots of Change doctrine, the method, and the movement. She shares what she witnessed across thirty years as a nurse and nurse practitioner working from the ground up, including a woman dying in pain because a system everyone called excellent had left a gap nobody was tracking, clinics turning patients away because they were too complicated, families left without support in their most desperate hours, and what she perceived to be a regulatory authority making decisions that resulted in hundreds of vulnerable patients being abandoned.She shares the fury that lit a fire in her that has never gone out. The decade she spent searching for the patient-centred leadership she experienced in her very first nursing job and never found again. The moment she walked away from the system to find the root. And why she believes that LISTEN is not a soft skill. It is the only thing that will transform healthcare from the inside out.This episode is the origin story of everything. The book, the doctrine, the method, the movement, and the conviction that power must be responsible enough to protect the people with less of it.This episode connects directly to Diane's book, Rooted to Rise: The Rise of the Patient-Centred Leader, now available for presale.Secure your copy: www.dianegudmundson.com/rtrbookBook your Identity and Life Purpose Consultation: https://calendly.com/dianegudmundson1/initial-1-1-45-min-identity-life-purpose

(Credit: Telegraph article, June 2017, J.K. Rowling at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation party in 2007, wearing a floral diamond necklace and matching earrings, cf., Christmas Pig)Solomon Schmidt, author of A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J. K. Rowling (Skyhorse, June 2026), sat down with us again to discuss what challenges he faced in collating and synthesizing almost thirty years of interviews for his biography. He also shares the three questions he'd ask The Presence if she'd consent to an interview, questions that he thinks she might answer; Solomon turned the tables on his interviewers who had to improv questions they'd ask without being told their interview with Rowling was over.The necessary links to the book's Amazon page and to the two Hogwarts Professor reviews are here:* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.com)* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.co.uk) Uk Edition* A Pen to Change the World – the Biography of J. K. Rowling by Solomon Schmidt (Nick Jeffery)* Book Review: A Pen to Change the World - The Life of J. K. Rowling (John Granger)Five Questions for Solomon Schmidt, Author of A Pen to Change the World:5. I said you didn't get to interview Rowling, which is true, but you did have access to all her interviews that she has done 1997 to the present as well as the interviews and articles with her family, friends, fans, and business associates. How did you find, assemble, and sift through those interviews?6. If you had been allowed inside the gates of Fortress Rowling and you were only allowed three questions, what would you ask her? (This is a game John and I regularly play, and usually John's questions would get him thrown out of an interview!)7. What discoveries that you made in your research were the most exciting to you?8. Rowling has said repeatedly through the years that the critical negative events of her life that reshaped her thinking and her work were the death of her mother and the abusive relationship she had with her first husband. Agree or disagree? What do you think were the most important positive turns in her life?9. Very few people I meet don't have a fixed opinion about Rowling; the world seems to love and hate her in equal measure with little grey area between the two: adoring fans and political allies on the one hand and those that despise her work, her political efforts, or both. Where do you fall in that divide and how hard was it to represent the other point of view in your biography?10. I assume you've started researching your next biography though you'll be neck deep in this book's launch for a few months. What will you be working on next? This is a public episode.

It WAY overuses simile and is a little more navel-gazing than I expect Ma would actually have had time for, but I'm finding it very engaging and interesting. Listening to this for me is completely independent of the new Netflix series that is currently ALL over the news and social media. I didn't even know there was going to be a new series until just this week and I have been on the waiting list for Caroline for several months now. I also feel like I need a disclaimer that despite my deep childhood fondness for this series, as an adult, I've definitely come to see what a sanitized, idealized, and whitewashed picture it paints of the westward expansion, colonialism, and the indigenous nightmare of forced removal.with Tanner and Mark: Daughter of the Deep—a lengthy revisiting of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Rick Riordan.

Our Inner Pace…My inner pace in Julymoves in resonancewith the languorous,liquid,luminous,lazy rhythm of desire,of longing,of curiosity and wonder. It is the pace of discovery,of creative renewaland energetic re-setand review,the pace of life's own unfolding,on its own time,in its own ways.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

You're striping it on the range, then somewhere between the range and the first tee your swing vanishes — "where did that guy go?" It happens to everyone, and in today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down exactly why, and how to bring your range swing to the course.We get into the false confidence of hitting the same club over and over, why you should change clubs and targets every ball ("play the course on the range"), and the number one killer under pressure: getting quick and not finishing your backswing. You'll hear the Jack Nicklaus "finish your backswing" principle, David's "miss it quick," VJ Singh's one-two-three-four count and the Tour Tempo idea, Dr. Debbie's archery drill and "second serve" philosophy for making a free first swing, plus how nerves quietly wreck your setup — Adam Scott, Nick Price adjusting to the wind, and why it's the mosquitoes that get you, not the bears.If you play your best golf on the range and your worst on the first tee, this one's for you. Timestamps below — tell us your first-tee horror story in the comments.

Whether you realize it or not, your highest priority becomes the force that organizes your life. It determines what you pursue, what you avoid, what you tolerate, and ultimately the future you create.In this episode, I explore why your habits aren't random, why motivation isn't the real issue, and how identifying your true priority can explain nearly every decision you make.Watch the documentary: Change the family tree⁠⁠Buy my book Above the illusion. ⁠Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Most people don't need a new life. They need a better Tuesday. In this episode, I speak with Alastair Humphreys about why life starts to feel flat when every week looks the same, and how adventure is often less about geography and more about psychology. We get into the mindset traps that keep smart people stuck: waiting until they have more time, more money, more confidence, more certainty. Which is a bit like waiting to get fit before entering the gym. Alastair makes a simple point: that interesting lives are usually built from small acts of courage, not cinematic reinventions. A night outside. A local walk. A plan that slightly scares you. We also explore how discomfort sharpens attention, why challenge builds self-trust, and how curiosity can pull you out of autopilot faster than motivation ever will. Use small adventures to interrupt routine before routine hardens into identity. Stop treating confidence as a prerequisite; treat it as the reward. Make life richer by adding novelty, friction, and stories worth remembering. Listen if you want practical ways to feel more alive, more curious, and less trapped by your own habits.
