Episode 3796: Marc Chernoff explores the profound power of embracing the present moment without needing to capture or share it. By challenging the modern urge to validate experiences through technology and social media, he reminds us that true peace and fulfillment come from recognizing that right now, just as it is, is enough. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcandangel.com/2016/10/30/one-reality-you-must-accept-before-you-can-live-your-best-life/ Quotes to ponder: "We're so used to feeling like the present moment isn't worthy of our full presence!" "If you worry too much about what could be, and what might have been, you will ignore and overlook the beauty of what is." "Let go of everything else, and just remind yourself how fortunate you are to be experiencing this moment right here, right now."

Losing a spouse can shake every part of life—but God promises to walk with you through each next step.When loss turns life upside down, even simple financial decisions can feel overwhelming. But with God's help—and a few practical steps forward—there is hope and healing ahead. Today, Valerie Hogan joins us to share guidance for navigating the financial journey after losing a spouse.Valerie Hogan is an attorney, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a member of Kingdom Advisors, and the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with Miriam Neff. Grief and Finances Are Deeply ConnectedWhen grief hits, clarity often disappears. You may feel pressure to “get everything settled” or, on the other hand, find it impossible to make even small decisions. Both reactions are normal.Grief colors everything. It's difficult to separate financial choices from emotional pain. And that's okay. The key is to give yourself permission not to have all the answers right away.Statistics show that about 80% of women will outlive their husbands. That means most of us will one day find ourselves managing finances alone. And many women, especially from earlier generations, weren't as involved in financial decisions during marriage.After loss, that reality can be intimidating. Suddenly, you're faced with choices about investments, taxes, home maintenance, and budgets—often with less income and more years of life ahead. Those early months matter, but they shouldn't be rushed.Start with This Truth: God Owns It AllBefore any practical steps, I want to anchor you in a truth that has carried me and countless others through difficult seasons: God owns it all.Everything we have belongs to Him, and He is with us as we steward it. Remembering that doesn't erase the pain, but it reminds us we're not alone. It shifts the weight of control off our shoulders and invites God's wisdom into our decisions.That truth gives us permission to move slowly and prayerfully. Stewardship is not about perfection—it's about trust.Steps for Navigating the Early DaysHere are some guiding steps I often share with widows who ask, “Where do I even begin?”1. Take One Step at a TimeYou don't need to fix everything today. Unless a change is absolutely urgent, give yourself space to rest and recover. Grief has a way of making even simple tasks feel monumental. Be patient with yourself.2. Avoid Major Financial Moves Too SoonTry not to make significant financial decisions while emotions are raw. Some women have sold homes, moved away, or invested large sums during intense grief—only to regret it later. Wait until your heart is steadier before making big changes.3. Get Organized, Little by LittleLoss often leaves behind a mountain of paperwork. Start small—maybe one pile, one folder, one hour. Ask a trusted friend or advisor to help if it feels overwhelming. Progress comes one decision at a time.4. Track What's Coming In and Going OutAwareness brings peace. You don't have to overhaul your budget immediately—just begin noticing where money is going. Clarity grows with consistency.5. Lean on Trusted AdvisorsChoose people who will look out for your best interest—those with integrity and experience, not pressure or sales motives. A trusted financial planner, attorney, or advisor can help you think clearly when emotions run high.6. Anchor Everything in PrayerThis is the most important step. God cares deeply when His people are hurting. Invite Him into every conversation, every decision, every bill you open. He is your provider and your comforter.Build a “Personal Board of Directors”Form a personal board of directors—a small circle of wise people you can lean on for different kinds of counsel.You might include:A spiritually mature friend who prays with youA financial professional with integrityAn encourager who helps you stay hopefulA practical helper who can sit with you through paperworkEach one brings something valuable. Just remember: not every encourager is a financial guide, and not every advisor is a prayer partner. Surround yourself with a balanced mix of wisdom and compassion.Know It. Own It. Like It. Change It.In their book Wise Women Managing Money, Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan use a simple four-part framework that applies beautifully here:Know it—Gather the facts. What do you own? What do you owe?Own it—Accept responsibility for your new role as steward.Like it—Evaluate your current situation honestly.Change it—Begin making small, steady adjustments that align with your goals and faith.You don't need to have it all figured out. Start by knowing where you are—and trust that God will guide each next step.If you've recently lost your spouse, please hear this: there are brighter days ahead. It may not feel that way now, but God will give you strength and wisdom in time. I've seen hundreds of widows rebuild, heal, and even thrive again.Take one step at a time. Pray often. Surround yourself with wise, loving people. And remember—you're not alone.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A friend once told me they only tip 10% at restaurants, so they don't end up giving a server more than they give to God. Now that's stuck with me—every time I eat out, I think about it. Am I looking at this the wrong way? What's the right, biblical way to think about tipping and giving?I recently set up a trust, and I own two homes—one's paid off and the other still has a mortgage. Both properties are titled in my name. Do I need to transfer or re-deed those homes into the trust, or can I leave them as they are since they're already in my name?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D. Widow ConnectionWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Bottom line is any person in your life will always treat you exactly how you've taught them to treat you and how you've allowed them to treat you! It doesn't matter who the individaul is, they will do to you what you allow them to get away with! You teach your significant other exactly how he or she can treat you because you show your vulnerabilities out of what you perceive is love, when it has nothing to do with love. A person who truly loves you should enhance your life, not use, abuse, or control you! Most people don't have a clue of what love is because they've never learned to love self first!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

A quiet morning vision sparked a bold invitation: let prayer become the place where Heaven meets here.In this episode, join Tosha Williams for a journey up the Mount of Transfiguration. Here we see Jesus radiant in prayer and listen to what He reveals about how we can pray. Together, we will introduce the biblical accounts in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9 to discover what God wants to show us about a transformed prayer life.Along the way, six witnesses from the mountain become our guides: Moses teaches us to INTERCEDE and stand in the gap; Elijah teaches us to BELIEVE God for the impossible; Peter teaches us to STRENGTHEN and carry on; James teaches us to FOLLOW Jesus closely; John teaches us to ABIDE; and Jesus teaches us to SURRENDER. Each of these lives show us an aspect of prayer that can change how we pray for the rest of our lives.This episode begins a spiritual journey for anyone hungry to move beyond quick requests and into a steady rhythm of presence and purpose. From mountain to mission, prayer is where transfiguration meets transformation.Accept the invitation this week: let your prayer life be changed by the Mount of Transfiguration. Take what God shows you there and let it influence how you pray here. Seek Him Speak Him!This episode goes along with a devotion-driven discipleship guide that can be found at Introduction to Transfiguration Prayer Conversation Guide.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Mental illness, fear, and foolishness are all around us—and often, they touch our own lives more than we'd like to admit. In this message, we explore how God's Word teaches us to live with wisdom, peace, and love—even when surrounded by the foolishness of others. Through the RELATE framework—Reroute your thinking, Elevate others, List your threats, Accept your part, Turn from sin, and Enlist accountability—you'll learn how to: Recognize foolish behavior without becoming part of it Set healthy, Godly boundaries Respond in love instead of fear Stay focused on your God-given purpose Jesus showed us how to live wisely in a world gone mad. Let's follow His example and build relationships God's way—sane, strong, and Spirit-led.

Travis is joined by producer Eric for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical episode exploring how beliefs, meaning, and personal philosophy influence the way money, work, and life are experienced. Both hosts share their takes on existential questions (with spontaneous detours into Star Trek, simulation theory, and work ethic), showing how practical mindset shifts are inseparable from financial success. On this episode we talk about: Various mental models that shape work, motivation, and the experience of meaning How philosophy—like Nietzsche's ‘eternal recurrence'—reframes choices and ambitions The importance of recognizing meaning as self-generated, not assigned by circumstance or others Why evaluating beliefs by their practical usefulness is a key discipline in modern business How accepting truth wherever you find it drives personal growth, resilience, and sharper decisions Top 3 Takeaways Philosophy matters: Questioning and reframing beliefs about meaning and agency lead directly to greater productivity and financial outcomes. Meaning is self-generated—thinking carefully about what keeps you going can reveal your true priorities and help you make better life and money choices. Adopt beliefs and mindsets that are useful for your growth—even if you can't prove them, lean into what propels you forward and out of ruts. Notable Quotes “Meaning is entirely self-generated. You decide, and it might change over time. So choose wisely.” “If a belief system isn't useful—if it doesn't propel you into meaningful action—why keep it?” “Accept truth wherever you find it, regardless of who says it. That's how growth happens.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode Summary: Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no? Or have you ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted because you were trying to meet everyone else’s expectations? If so, you are not alone. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Day, today, we’re going to explore how to move from overwhelmed to overjoyed by learning to say no without feeling guilty. We’ll dive into Scripture, explore research on overcommitment, and I’ll share five practical ways to set God-honoring boundaries. Quotables from the episode: Many of us, especially as women, have been taught that saying yes is the godly thing to do. We associate busyness with productivity, and productivity with worth. But the truth is, constantly saying yes can leave us drained, distracted, and distant from God’s best for us. For many years, I said “Yes” every time something was asked of me because I believed it was the godly response. Until God impressed upon my heart that he never told me to do that much, and had I sought him for wisdom, He would have readily guided my path! That was totally on me, but God was so gentle in getting my attention. Psychologists have long studied the effects of people-pleasing and overcommitment. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that chronic overcommitment leads to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Emotionally, people-pleasers often struggle with self-worth, believing their value is tied to what they do for others rather than who they are in Christ. Chronic Overcommitment and Overwhelm Chronic overcommitment and overwhelm can take a serious toll on physical health, leading to conditions such as: Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance – Constant stress can dysregulate cortisol levels, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, and difficulty managing emotions. Cardiovascular Issues – Chronic stress increases blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Weakened Immune System – Prolonged stress suppresses immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and slower to heal. Gastrointestinal Problems – Overwhelm can contribute to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and digestive issues. Chronic Pain & Inflammation – Stress triggers inflammation, which can exacerbate conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Sleep Disorders – Overcommitment often leads to insomnia, poor sleep quality, and chronic fatigue. Weight Gain or Loss – Stress-related eating patterns can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations, metabolic dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Muscle Tension & Headaches – Persistent stress can cause tight muscles, tension headaches, and even TMJ (jaw pain from clenching). Burnout & Mental Fog – Long-term overwhelm can impair cognitive function, reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability. Autoimmune Disorders – Chronic stress has been linked to the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Managing stress through rest, boundaries, and self-care isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s essential for physical health. Jesus himself set boundaries. In Luke 5:16, we read, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” He didn’t heal every person or meet every need. He sought the Father’s will first. If Jesus set boundaries, then we should, too. Addressing the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration To counteract the physical effects of chronic overcommitment and overwhelm, we must address both the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration. Here’s how: Prioritizing Rest & Sabbath (Biblical & Scientific) Biblical Insight: God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2-3, and Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places (Mark 6:31). Sabbath isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command for our well-being (Exodus 20:8-10). Science: Rest lowers cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances brain health. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and physical repair. Application: Schedule intentional rest. Guard your Sabbath. Ensure 7-9 hours of sleep. Setting Boundaries to Prevent Overcommitment Biblical Insight: Even Jesus set boundaries—He didn’t heal everyone at once and took time alone with the Father (Luke 5:16). Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts, which includes protecting our time and energy. Science: Chronic stress leads to burnout, weakened immunity, and heart disease. Learning to say “no” prevents emotional and physical depletion. Application: Use discernment in commitments. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with God’s will? Is this sustainable? Engaging in Mind-Body Renewal Biblical Insight: Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds. Philippians 4:8 tells us to focus on what is pure and lovely. Science: Practices like deep breathing, exercise, and gratitude shift the brain out of stress mode, improving mental clarity and resilience. Application: Try breath prayers (e.g., inhale “Be still,” exhale “and know that I am God”; inhale “I trust you, God,” exhale “in all things.”). Move daily to reduce inflammation and boost mood. Nourishing the Body & Mind Biblical Insight: Daniel chose healthy foods and was stronger than those indulging in excess (Daniel 1:12-15). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Science: Whole foods reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stress-related illnesses. Application: Eat nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and avoid excess caffeine or sugar that heightens stress responses. Seeking Community & Support Biblical Insight: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 teaches that two are better than one. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone (Galatians 6:2). Science: Social connection lowers stress hormones, strengthens immunity, and increases resilience. Application: Surround yourself with godly counsel. Delegate. Accept help. Community is part of God’s design for our well-being. Releasing Control & Trusting God Biblical Insight: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Trusting God’s sovereignty brings peace (Isaiah 26:3). Science: Chronic stress stems from feeling out of control. Releasing worries to God reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Application: Regularly surrender your burdens to God. Journal prayers. Meditate on Scriptures about His faithfulness. By aligning our lives with God’s rhythms and applying scientific wisdom, we can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout and experience lasting peace. Practical Tips for How to Set Healthy, God-Honoring Boundaries Recognize that “No” is a Complete Sentence You don’t need to over-explain or justify your decision. Jesus simply said “yes” or “no” (Matthew 5:37). When we recognize that saying no is a way to honor God’s best for us, we can do so with confidence. Pray Before You Commit Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ”Before saying yes to anything, take a moment to pray and ask, Is this God’s best for me in this season? Set Priorities Based on God’s Calling Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are created for good works that God prepared in advance for us. This means that we are not called to do everything—only what He has specifically prepared for us. Identify what God is calling you to do in this season and let that guide your commitments. Understand That Saying No Opens the Door for God’s Yes When we fill our schedules with obligations, we leave no room for the divine appointments God has for us. Saying no creates margin for God’s greater yes. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Practice Saying No with Grace and Love You can say no in a way that honors both God and the other person. Here are a few ways: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t commit to that right now.” “I appreciate the opportunity, but I need to focus on what God has called me to in this season.” “I’d love to help another time, but my plate is full right now.” Encouraging Scripture to Empower You: Learning to say no without feeling guilty Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Scripture References: Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Saying no is not a rejection of others—it is a way of saying yes to what God has planned for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed and exhausted. You can move from overcommitted to overjoyed by setting God-honoring boundaries. I encourage you this week to pray over your commitments. Ask God to show you where you need to say no so you can say yes to His best. If today’s episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement in this area.

In this episode of The Inquisitor, host Marcus Cauchi sits down with Scott Aaron, co-founder of The Time to Grow, to explore the power of authenticity in marketing and sales. Scott helps coaches, consultants, and service professionals scale their businesses by prioritizing connection over competition, and this conversation is packed with actionable strategies for growing your presence on LinkedIn while staying human-first. From leveraging AI ethically to optimizing your LinkedIn profile for inbound leads, this episode offers practical insights you can implement immediately. Key Takeaways 1. AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement AI is in its early stages and should be used as a tool to enhance, not replace, human work. Scott and his team use personalized GPTs to help members craft high-engagement LinkedIn content. Avoid “scaling idiocy at volume”: always use AI with a human-centric approach. 2. The Warm Touchpoint Messaging Strategy Dedicate 20–30 minutes daily to active networking on LinkedIn. Automation tools violate LinkedIn's rules—all messages should be sent manually. Use the Warm Touchpoint Checklist to identify opportunities: Accept connection requests Engage with posts and content Comment or vote in polls Subscribe to newsletters Craft your first message: One warm, friendly paragraph Include a relatable connection point Use the word “support” to build rapport Avoid pitching or hard-selling Test your CTAs: Compare direct questions (e.g., “Do you have time for a Zoom this week?”) versus open-ended statements for one month to see what drives more booked calls. 3. High-Impact Content Strategy LinkedIn content increasingly acts as a lead generator. Combine Thought Leadership (expert positioning) with Storytelling (relatability). Keep content simple and digestible, avoiding technical overload. Prioritize practice over perfection and give tangible tips for free to build trust and credibility. 4. Content Types & Scheduling Content Type Frequency Key Tips LinkedIn Newsletter Weekly (Fridays) Best for building subscribers and external traffic. Requires 150+ connections. LinkedIn Live (Video) Twice a week (Mon & Thu, 10 a.m. ET) Build trust over time. Include a CTA to convert viewers into subscribers. Carousel Posts (PDF) Every other week (Saturdays) Use PDF format to allow scrolling. Share quick, actionable tips. Articles Only if under 150 connections   Resharing Occasionally Always add your perspective to highlight expertise. 5. Profile Optimization About Section (Summary) 300–500 words, written in first person Share your personal story, what you do, who you serve, and how you serve them Include 15–20 skill keywords for SEO End with a clear CTA Experience Section List at least three roles, with your most relevant first Include short 2–4 sentence descriptions Use title formatting with totem poles to highlight expertise Example: Co-founder of The Time to Grow | Marketing | Sales | Branding Whether you're looking to grow your LinkedIn presence, craft content that converts, or use AI ethically in your business, this episode gives you the tools to start today. Implement one tip, test it, and watch your connections, and your opportunities, grow.

Ever felt the ground give way beneath your life and, somehow, found renewal waiting in the dark? We go there with astrologer Melanie Reinhart as we explore the Eighth House—where loss, endings, and the mysteries of descent turn into a deeper kind of aliveness.We begin with a radical reframing of “death” as the series of mini-deaths that define a lifetime: the mask that falls away, the role that ends, the image we can no longer carry. Melanie brings in Asclepian dream rites to show how healing arrives when we stop managing and start listening. Dreams don't just offer messages; sometimes the dream is the medicine. From Persephone and Inanna to Hermes the psychopomp, myth becomes a living map for honoring thresholds, accepting uncertainty, and noticing the signs that mark true initiation.Intimacy takes center stage as a gateway into the Eighth House. Not all sex is eighth-house, and not all eighth-house intimacy is sexual—what matters is transformation through real energetic exchange. We contrast this with polite arrangements that function but never descend. Along the way, we tackle death denial through the story of Sisyphus: chain up death and you lose meaning. Accept the descent and something winged rises—Pegasus from Medusa's body—foreshadowing the Ninth House's authentic meaning-making that cannot be faked or fast-tracked.This is a guide for moving from the illusion of separateness toward the radiance of love. It's practical, too: don't dig aggressively for shadows; let the underworld emerge. Create sacred space, honor fatigue, keep a journal, and treat dreams as sacred visitors. If you're navigating grief, midlife, or a season of deep change, this conversation offers language, myth, and gentle practices to help you walk on the soul's terms.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in transition, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

Who's Right is back by popular demand! Between our usual Hard Knox episodes, Amanda sits down with her husband, Chris to debate something serious or silly and ask you: “Who's Right?” In this weeks pre-Halloween episode they debate the role of death in living a full life. How do we live fully when death feels both inevitable and avoidable? Why does facing mortality make life feel more vivid, even as science tempts us with the dream of living forever? Amanda and Chris wrestle with Zen philosophy, longevity science, and the question of whether accepting death, or fighting it, is the real key to living well.

The Hidden Cost of Being Fake and How to Stop October 29, 2025 | Episode 5213 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever feel like you're not being yourself? Like you're putting on a show for everyone around you? Scott gets it. He gets in trouble for being himself all the time. But here's the thing—being fake costs you way more than being real ever will. In this episode, Scott breaks down the hidden price you pay when you're not authentic. He introduces motivational awareness—understanding what actually fires you up instead of forcing yourself to do things that drain you. You'll discover why everything in your life comes down to just two things: people and money. And Scott shares his daily awareness filter that helps you catch yourself before you veer off course. Stop pretending. Start paying attention. Here's how. Featured Story You know when you say you're going to do something and then... you don't? Scott does this all the time. He'll get an idea, tell everyone about it, then just sits on his butt. Doesn't start. Doesn't move forward. For years, he thought something was wrong with him. Then he figured it out. He won't start anything unless he's actually motivated to do it. If he's not moving toward what he said he wanted, that tells him something. Either he doesn't really want to do it, or something about the process feels wrong. Now it's a rule. If the idea doesn't fire him up enough to get him moving, he scratches it. Simple as that. The problem? He sometimes opens his mouth and tells people first. Then they ask, "Why didn't you do it?" Because I didn't want to. Motivational awareness. Important Points Why forcing yourself to do things you're not motivated to do keeps you stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping. The reality that everything in your life—good and bad—comes from just two sources: people and money. Including you. How building a daily awareness filter catches those moments when you're being fake before they derail your entire week. Why saying yes to things you're not fired up about is the fastest way to lose touch with who you actually are. Memorable Quotes "I get in so much trouble for being myself. I really freaking do." "If I can't get myself moving, it's just not firing me up." "Everything, good, everything bad, everything comes from people and money." "Nobody else is responsible for your health. You are." Scott's Three-Step Approach 1. Build motivational awareness by noticing what drives you. Pay attention to what fires you up naturally. If you're not moving toward something you said you wanted, that's data. You either don't really want it or something about the process is wrong. Stop forcing it. 2. Accept that people and money control everything in your life. Every opportunity, every obstacle, every win, every loss—it all comes from people (including you) and money (including yours). When you're stuck or unhappy, look at these two things first. 3. Activate your daily awareness filter to catch yourself being fake. Ask yourself the same questions every day. Track what you're actually doing versus what you said you'd do. Notice the gaps. That's where the truth lives about who you really are.

How to reshape culture in Japan without breaking what already works.  What is the first question leaders should ask when inheriting a Japanese workplace? Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change.  How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved.  Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades.  Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves.  How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions.  Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice.  FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

No Mud, No Lotus: Embracing the Dark and the DivineCan you meet your darkness with the same reverence you offer your light?In this raw and liberating transmission from our Fundamentals of Tantra event Chantelle Raven invites us into the heart of Tantra — where awakening is not about rising above, but about descending into the body and welcoming all that we are.Through stories, practice, and embodied wisdom, she guides us to see Kundalini not as something to control or “achieve,” but as life force itself — the pulse of creation, destruction, and renewal that moves through every breath. What happens when you stop resisting your contractions and start trusting your body's intelligence? When you let the mud be mud — and find the lotus blooming right through it?This episode is a fierce reclamation of the dark feminine — the part of us that feels deeply, speaks truth, and refuses to hide behind spiritual perfection. It's an invitation to bring compassion to your shadow, reverence to your rage, and love to the parts of you that were once deemed “too much.”If you're a practitioner, space holder, or simply a human who feels deeply, this one will move you — and remind you that the divine isn't separate from your humanity.Inside This Episode:• What Kundalini truly is and how to work with life force energy in the body• The difference between contraction and resistance• Dark Feminine vs. wounded feminine — how to know the difference• Turning shame into self-acceptance through the “So f*cking what” mantra• How spiritual conditioning can suppress our authentic expression• Practicing radical acceptance before creating change• The daily devotion of embodying your future selfThere's something holy that happens when we stop performing “high vibe” and start honoring what's real. When we let rage move through love, and tears become our prayer.This is the Tantra - where shadow and light, human and divine, are finally allowed to dance.Top Quotes:“Discomfort is only discomfort when we resist it.”“There's an ecstatic current available in every feeling.”“Dark feminine isn't chaos — it's truth with compassion.”“Accept first. From that place, change becomes devotion.”And when you're ready to walk deeper, come find us in the trainings, the retreats, the spaces where the lotus keeps blooming.Resources + Links:Sign up for the waitlist for the 18-month Tantra Practitioner Program: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/tantra-practitioner-training/ Check out our Self-Paced Program here: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/ Follow us on Instagram: @embodiedawakeningacademy

When you're raised in a family that trades ghost stories like recipes, you learn the world is never empty. For one young woman, that truth took root inside a narrow Oregon townhouse — a place her family called a crossroads for the dead. For years, spirits came and went: the basement dogs, the Native man who cooled her cheek, the old woman who whispered “that's nice” right beside her ear. But the most terrifying presence never left. It lingered at the top of the stairs, knocking politely in threes — always waiting to be invited in. When her cat refused to enter her room, when the blankets dipped with unseen footsteps, when a man's shape pressed across her chest in the dark — she realized the haunting had learned her rhythms. Even grief seemed to feed it. Cleansings, crosses, and courage only kept it at bay for a while. And sometimes, when the night goes still enough, she can still feel the townhouse breathe back. Because some hauntings don't scream or rage — they wait, patiently, for you to speak first. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueHaunting #PoliteGhost #HauntedTownhouse #SupernaturalStories #SleepParalysis #ThreeKnocks #RealGhostStory #Ghosts #ParanormalActivity #FamilyHaunting #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?

Facing a moment when you realize you're "flying the wrong direction"? This sermon from Dr. Roger Patterson, based on the story of Moses in Exodus 4, offers four essential principles for adjusting your course and moving forward in obedience to God. Dr. Patterson emphasizes that spiritual transformation begins with a change in direction, drawing a parallel with the story of "Wrong Way" Corrigan and the profound journey of Moses. Learn how to overcome the fears and private disobedience that hold you back so you can embrace God's plan for your life. In this message, you'll discover: Key Principles for Adjusting Course: 1. Be truthful with yourself and with others: Moses wasn't completely honest about his return to Egypt, driven by fear of his father-in-law and fear for his life. God's specific word to Moses—that the men seeking his life were dead—served as a reinforcement and encouragement against his fear. The practical question for us is: What fear is holding you back, and what one step will you take in spite of it? 2. When you take action, resolve the unresolved: You cannot move forward in public obedience while remaining in private disobedience. Just as Moses had neglected the covenant command of circumcision for his son, God will deal with a leader's unfinished obedience. This principle calls for repentance: owning your failures and agreeing with God, saying, "You are right, I am wrong". 3. Trust God to bring you the right people for the journey: God brought leaders like Aaron (spokesman, wingman) and others to provide capacity, strength, and a succession plan for Moses. The work God calls you to is far too great to do alone. Proverbs 24:6 states, "in the abundance of counselors there is victory". 4. Your aim is to influence others and show God's faithfulness: When you adjust your course and obey, others will see the faithfulness of God and join you. Your private faith is turned into a public witness. Dr. Patterson illustrates this with the life of Nelson Mandela, whose internal reorientation from anger to grace and revenge to reconciliation ultimately led to him influencing a nation. Action Points (The Four A's): Identify the direction of God's calling. Address the area he's asking you to surrender (Repent). Accept the help he's sending you. Act—take your first step today. Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:18-31

On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas welcomes critic and lifelong Ranger fan Becca Peterson (The Critic Buffet) for a fast-paced, fun deep dive into the 1995 feature film. We cover why this movie still hits for '90s kids, the charm of Ivan Ooze, the switch to ninja powers and new Zords, and how the film fits into the broader multiverse of Power Rangers stories. Becca brings great trivia, from casting changes to Sentai influences, and shares why the movie's core message still lands. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – 01:10 | Cold open, show intro, and guest welcome; Becca's superhero-critic tagline 01:10 – 03:00 | Why revisit the Power Rangers movie and early theater memories 04:19 – 06:23 | "Challenge accepted" and Becca's two-minute plot sprint 05:27 – 06:05 | Ivan Ooze arrives, new henchmen, and the Command Center attack 06:44 – 09:03 | Skydiving charity opener, Bulk & Skull logic checks, Angel Grove mayhem 10:11 – 11:20 | Movie as an alternate timeline, multiverse vibes, Shattered Grid nods 14:35 – 15:12 | From movie rats to TV crows, why Tenga Warriors replaced the original monsters 16:22 – 18:21 | To Phaedos and Dulcea, the casting switch you might've missed 19:51 – 21:22 | Why the show handled Ninja powers differently from the film 26:44 – 27:24 | New Zords, shiny suits, and the unmistakable mid-'90s CGI 28:17 – 29:14 | Frog pride, why Adam's Zord is cooler than you remember 29:39 – 30:23 | Individual Zords actually doing things before the big combine 34:54 – 35:37 | Real stakes, amped-up action, and "too violent for kids?" memories 36:00 – 37:02 | The '90s ninja craze context 40:20 – 41:48 | McDonald's toys, promo tours, and peak Ranger mania 45:18 – 46:01 | Theme check, "You don't need power to be special" Key Takeaways The movie plays like a joyful two-parter: Angel Grove chaos, mythic quest on Phaedos, ninja powers, new Zords, Megazord finish. It sits in a separate timeline from the TV series, echoing the franchise's multiverse storytelling across comics and crossovers. The practical-to-CGI shift hasn't aged perfectly, but it lets each Zord shine solo before combining. Dulcea's role came with behind-the-scenes casting drama many fans never heard about. The film leans into corny puns and earnest heroism, which is part of the franchise's escape-hatch appeal. Core message still lands: bravery and community matter more than powers. Memorable Quotes "I'm your superhero critic, and I'll stay super as long as you stay awesome." "Challenge? Accept it." "He looks like a giant purple booger." "Some would say more phenomenal." "You don't need power to be special." "Welcome to my nightmare."

If You Know Your Purpose But Can't Act October 22, 2025 | Episode 5208 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You already know your purpose. You just haven't admitted it yet. Scott's betting all your friends know exactly what you're passionate about too. They're just waiting for you to finally go do it. But what if you know your purpose and still can't get yourself to take action? That's a different problem with a different solution. Plus, Scott's 93-year-old mom might make a podcast appearance. You'll see where he comes from if you hear his mom. He promises you that. Featured Story Scott's mom is almost 94 and coming to visit from his sister's place up north. On the phone, she asked if she could watch him record his podcast. "I can't believe you're still doing that. I've never seen you record it." Maybe she'll make an appearance. Maybe she won't. That's her right at 93 years old to do whatever the hell she wants to do. But here's the thing about purpose that connects to this story. Scott's been doing this podcast for almost 20 years now. He coined a phrase two decades ago that still holds up: if you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose. Simple thinking. Disc jockey logic from years of pizza and free t-shirts. The twist? Most people already found their purpose. They're just too scared to admit it and go after it. Important Points Passion comes from you experiencing life and finding what fires you up—it's not out there waiting or assigned to you at birth. Most procrastination happens because you got yourself into something you shouldn't be doing or you're just busy with minute-by-minute life distractions. If something's in your mind, it's real and it's all about you—stop asking the internet if other people think like this for confirmation. Memorable Quotes "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose." "I'm betting you already have found it. You just haven't admitted it yet." "Running faster will only distract you from your purpose even further." Scott's Three-Step Approach Slow down and get real about what you actually want—become aware of what's working and what's not instead of running faster. Forget the limitations floating around in your mind because they're just beliefs stopping you, and toss out the fear of consequences. Accept where you are today with your peaceful base, then put one foot in front of the other pointing toward your dreams—it doesn't have to take forever.
