In this Friday Rant, I talk about something we rarely give ourselves permission to do — pause. Growth is a game of levels, and too often we push straight from one to the next without resting, reflecting, or asking if the next climb is even worth it. I share how understanding the cost of progress — in energy, health, and mindset — can help you grow more intentionally and sustainably. Because sometimes the smartest move isn't to push harder… it's to sit on the step you've earned and gather the strength for what's next.Key Takeaways:- Life is a game of levels. Every new goal requires a new version of you.- Respect the pause. Rest is not quitting — it's preparation for what's next.- Count the cost. Bigger goals mean bigger sacrifice; decide if it's worth it.- Celebrate progress. Acknowledge how far you've come before chasing more.- Don't rush the climb. Sit at the edge of each step, reflect, and realign.- Momentum isn't everything. Sometimes the best strategy is to hold your line until the timing, energy, and alignment feel right.If this hit home, share it with someone who's always pushing but never pausing. Rate and review the show to help more people find the balance between hustle and rest.
Explore a gentle practice for releasing resentment and finding freedom through forgiveness.How To Do This Practice: Prepare Your Space and Body: Find a quiet, safe place to sit and take slow, grounding breaths. Notice any tension in your body and gently release it with each exhale. Identify Who You're Ready to Forgive: Bring to mind two or three people who have hurt you, and start with the one whose actions feel least painful. Reflect on how this hurt still affects your emotions and body. Acknowledge the Hurt: Recognize what happened and how it impacted your life, trust, or well-being. Allow yourself to feel the pain without judgment. Seek to Understand (Without Excusing): Consider what struggles or past hurts might have influenced the other person's behavior. This step is about seeing their humanity, not condoning their actions. Make the Choice to Forgive: When you feel ready, make an inner decision to release resentment and let go of the burden it carries. Offer kindness, respect, or simply your intention to move forward. Reflect and Offer Yourself Compassion: Notice any small sense of softening or relief, and honor where you are in the process. End by thanking yourself for taking a step toward healing.

Tammy J. Bond fires up the microphone for women leaders, challenging the pervasive habit of over-apologizing in professional settings. She argues that frequently defaulting to phrases like "I'm sorry, but..." or "This might not be the right time, but..." causes your apologies to show up louder than your actual leadership, draining your credibility and inviting doubt. This episode confronts the conditioning that leads women to wait to be invited instead of owning the room and provides a power move to replace apologies with confident, conscious confrontation. Key Leadership Insights: The Apology Drain: Unnecessary apologies soften your voice and teach the room to doubt you, reducing your credibility right before your "mic drop moment." The Real Reason Women Apologize More: Studies show both men and women apologize about 81% of the time when they agree something is an offense. However, women judge more situations as apology-worthy because of their heightened emotional awareness and ability to read the room. Apologizing is a sign of noticing, not a sign of weakness. The Cost of Over-Apologizing: You are donating your credibility and putting doubt in place of confidence with your team. The Power Move: Leadership presence means stepping in, being willing to confront—consciously, contagiously, and confidently—without apology. Owning the Room: Men walk in and own the room; women often sit back and wait to be invited. It's time to own your voice and your space. Your Actionable Power Move: Stop apologizing for being direct, confident, bold, or clear. Save your "sorry's" for real harm you've caused. Replace the Apology: Instead of starting with "I'm sorry, but..." or "I know we're almost out of time, but...," reframe your statement to be clear and convicted. Old: "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have a question about the budget." New: "Hold a minute. I want to bring up something about the budget before we run out of time." Acknowledge, Don't Apologize (for stepping on toes): If you suspect you were overly direct, acknowledge the potential impact, but do not apologize for your assertiveness. Statement: "I acknowledge that was very bold. Let's talk about how you feel about that." Goal: You thank them for bringing it to your attention and ask how to make it different next time, ensuring you are not apologizing for being bold. Leadership Challenge: Ladies, stop apologizing. Start leading with conviction, confidence, clarity, and connection to the purpose of your conversation. Who are you not to?

Here's a truth most car dealerships don't want to admit: people don't hate buying cars. They hate buying cars from salespeople who make the customer experience painful. That's the challenge Brendan Carlington from Mount Pleasant, Michigan brought to me on a recent episode of Ask Jeb. Brendan jumped back into auto sales this year after spending time in other industries and he noticed something big. Traditional sales positions are disappearing. Customers can research everything online, get quotes instantly, and even start negotiations with a click. What's missing is training that teaches sales pros how to create an experience people actually enjoy. The vehicle isn't the differentiator. The experience is. Why the Experience Matters More Than the Product I told Brendan something I have felt for a long time. Customers already know what they want before they walk into the dealership. They have seen every trim, every feature, every price point. What they do not know is whether they will enjoy the buying process. That is where you, the salesperson, become the product. Your job is not just to sell the car. Your job is to guide your customer through the process, reduce friction, build trust, and make them feel confident that they are making the right decision. When I buy a car, I already know what I want. If the experience is miserable, I put it off. If I know it will be smooth, engaging, and human, I buy immediately. Modern buyers are craving a guide, not a grinder. The Power of Frameworks Brendan had a simple but powerful philosophy. He said there are three conditions to win: sell a car, give the customer a great experience, and make as much money as possible without compromising those things. That mindset is exactly what great sales frameworks are built on. A framework gives you rails to run on while keeping you flexible in the conversation. It is not a script. It is a repeatable system that lets you adapt to the customer while staying disciplined. When you take complex sales processes and make them simple and repeatable, you create reliability and confidence. That principle is at the heart of fanatical prospecting and objection handling. Learning to simplify complex ideas into actionable steps separates average salespeople from top performers. How to Become the Trusted Guide If you are in car sales or any sales role where buyers can research online, here is the playbook: Unpack your customer's fears. They walk in with emotional baggage from past experiences. Acknowledge it. Ask better questions. The more they talk, the better they feel. When the customer does most of the talking, they have a good experience. Create a VIP moment. Buying a car is a milestone, not a transaction. Build a repeatable system. Know your greeting, discovery questions, and closing flow cold and practice it until it is second nature. Using systems that focus on outcomes, such as first-time appointments, conversion rates, and pipeline velocity, makes the difference between a salesperson who spins their wheels and one who consistently drives results. Practicing this every day builds the kind of discipline that leads to consistent performance and customer loyalty. Making It Fun Again Brendan shared something I loved. Before car sales, he worked in the Vegas nightlife industry and he asked, “Why can't buying a car be fun?” That is the kind of thinking that transforms an industry. Fun does not mean loud music or strobe lights. It means energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm. When people enjoy buying from you, they tell everyone they know. If your dealership or team has lost that spark, it is time to rebuild your sales culture. Focus on making the customer experience unforgettable. Strong sales leadership and coaching techniques help teams focus on guiding the buyer through the process instead of just pushing products. Developing those skills consistently pays huge dividends in customer retention and referrals.
Head over to https://www.richmind.co/ to grab our free resources and also follow the podcast. This episode provides a powerful and practical 3-step framework for building unstoppable habits to create your dream life. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn, Randy explains that the secret to having more is becoming more, and the key to becoming more is mastering your daily habits. He breaks down a simple yet effective system for eliminating bad habits and stacking good ones. Listeners will learn the "Zero Day Mindset" to ensure daily progress, the importance of conducting an "Environment Audit" to remove distractions and set yourself up for success, and how to create a "Reward Loop" to make new habits stick. This is a concise, no-fluff guide to transforming your life by transforming your daily actions. Key Takeaways: The foundation of building your dream life is mastering your daily habits. Step 1: The Zero Day Mindset. Commit to making at least some progress on your new habit every single day, no matter how small. Never let a day end at zero. Step 2: The Environment Audit. Proactively design your surroundings to make good habits easy and bad habits difficult. Remove distractions and set up visual cues for success. Step 3: The Reward Loop. Attach a meaningful, personal reward to the consistent practice of your new habit to reinforce the behavior and make it enjoyable. Habits are stackable; mastering one good habit (like journaling) makes it easier to build others in different areas of your life, such as health and productivity. Don't beat yourself up if you fall backward or miss a day. Acknowledge it, learn from it, and get right back on track without self-judgment. Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the secret to building habits that actually stick? How can I achieve my biggest goals faster and with more ease? What is the "Zero Day Mindset" and how can it guarantee daily progress? How does your physical environment affect your ability to build good habits? What are the best ways to design your environment for success? What is a "Reward Loop" and why is it essential for habit formation? How do you stay motivated when building a new habit that feels difficult? What is the one simple habit that can change the entire trajectory of your life? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Jim Rohn. Concepts: Unstoppable Habits, Habit Stacking, Zero Day Mindset, Environment Audit, Reward Loop, Personal Development, Comfort Zone, Journaling. Programs Mentioned: Challenge to Succeed (Jim Rohn)

If you're feeling anxious about job uncertainty — whether it's layoffs, budget cuts, or just that uneasy “what's next?” feeling — take a deep breath. You're not alone. I know how that stress can affect not just your career, but your confidence and peace of mind. Here's the truth: you can't always control what's happening around you, but you can absolutely control how you respond. In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful strategies and one bonus tip to help you stay grounded, take action, and turn uncertainty into opportunity. 3 Strategies to Rise Above Job Uncertainty 1. Acknowledge, Don't Avoid You don't have to “stay positive” 24/7. It's okay to admit when you're scared or frustrated. Acknowledging your feelings helps you release them instead of letting them control your decisions. 2. Focus on What You Can Control When everything feels unstable, anchor yourself to action. Update your resume, reconnect with your network, or learn a new skill. Progress, no matter how small, builds confidence — and confidence calms fear. 3. Surround Yourself With Positivity Your mindset is shaped by what surrounds you. Create an uplifting workspace, listen to motivating podcasts, and spend time with people who remind you of your strength. Bonus Tip: Get Inspired by J.K. Rowling Before becoming the world-renowned author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling faced rejection, financial hardship, and doubt. But she refused to give up. She focused on what she could control — her writing — and changed her life forever. Her story is proof that even when everything feels uncertain, your belief in yourself can change everything. That's why, for a limited time, I'm giving away my “You've Got This Cheat Sheet,” normally reserved for my private coaching clients. It's filled with the same tools and mindset exercises I use to help clients navigate career challenges with confidence. To get your free copy, just comment “Cheat Sheet” on YouTube, email me at drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.com, or DM us on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram. As I always say here on The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast: “If you're not having a fantastic day, you have the power to make it one.” Because even in uncertain times, you still hold the power to shift your focus, protect your peace, and create your next opportunity. Until next time, this is Dr. Dawn — reminding you: You've got this. NEW HERE?

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, I continue the 9 Types Overview Series with a deep dive into Type 2: Striving to Feel Connected, also known as The Coach in the Awareness to Action framework.We'll explore together how Type 2s build trust, foster belonging, and strengthen relationships at work, and how those same strengths can sometimes lead to burnout or blurred boundaries. Whether you lead with this type or work closely with someone who does, this episode will help you recognize the impact of connection-driven leadership and find the balance between giving and grounding.I also share how the three instinctual biases (Preserving, Navigating, and Transmitting) shape how Type 2s express their feeling need for connection, from behind-the-scenes nurturers to charismatic connectors.What You'll Learn When You ListenThe core motivation behind Type 2's drive to feel connected.How this type's strengths, empathy, generosity, and intuition, help teams thrive.The overused strengths that can create stress, exhaustion, or resentment.The leadership style of The Coach and how Type 2s inspire loyalty and growth.How to give (and receive) feedback in a way that builds trust with a Type 2.How instinctual biases create three distinct expressions of Type 2 energy.Growth insights from their arrows to Type 8 and Type 4, learning to assert boundaries and honor their own emotions.Try This at WorkIf you're a Type 2: Before saying yes to help, pause and ask, “Is this mine to carry?” Practice receiving appreciation without deflection.If you work with a Type 2: Acknowledge their efforts often and clearly. Don't assume they're fine just because they're the ones helping everyone else.For Teams & LeadersType 2s bring warmth, empathy, and emotional intelligence to every workplace — qualities that make collaboration feel human. But they can struggle when their giving goes unreciprocated. Teams thrive when Type 2s are encouraged to express needs, receive support, and celebrate connection as a shared responsibility.---> Note on gender: Type 2 energy is often mislabeled as “feminine,” but connection isn't gendered, it's human. Many men are Type 2s, and their empathy and support can be just as powerful in leadership. Every person, regardless of gender, can bring strength and influence to this type's relational energy.Have a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!

Through shared stories, they highlight the value of community support, stillness, journaling, and learning to be gentle with ourselves as we navigate seasons of change.This episode reminds us that even when life contracts and emotions feel dense, our deepest growth often rises from staying present with what is real.Key Themes✨ Heaviness on the spiritual path
Episode 351: The Church Being the Church How can we care for people? Value all people highly. Jesus does. Open a/partner with local food pantries to help provide basic needs. Be uncompromising in our gospel witness. Consider teaching essential work skills and offering counseling services to individuals. Establish clear guidelines to determine how your church can effectively meet the needs of its members. Partner with other churches in meeting needs. Acknowledge that we may be taken advantage of by some people, but our obedience is not bound by another's response. Don't grow weary in doing good.
Episode 064 - Solace in the Lost & Found The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori Show Notes Loss changes the rhythm of life. It reshapes conversations, rewires memories, and redefines silence. But hidden inside grief is often a quiet invitation - to carry forward what was best in the one we've lost. In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares a powerful conversational frame that helps others (and ourselves) move not on from loss, but with it. It begins with true listening - TING - the kind of listening that uses your whole presence. From that deep attention, something extraordinary can happen. Here's the simple, human pattern: Listen wholly. Not to fix. Not to fill silence. Just to hold space. Notice permission signals. When someone shifts from facts to stories, they're inviting depth. Spot the light. When they describe a beautiful trait of the one they've lost - pause there. Invite expansion. “Tell me more about how they made others feel loved.” Honor it. Acknowledge its beauty. Sit in it for a beat. Then, gently reframe. “If you were to bring a little more of that into your own life, what might that look like?” It's not about replacing or distracting from grief. It's about transformation through continuation - helping someone find the living thread of their loved one in the acts and traits they admired most. Grief doesn't have to be the end of connection. It can be a new beginning of carrying forward what was good, kind, and true. Reflection Prompt: Think of someone you've lost. What was their superpower? What would it look like if you paid it forward - even once this week? Resources Mentioned: TING - The Art of Listening HypnoticGiftsBook.com - Discover how to transform someone's life in a single conversation DrTori.com/coaching-application-1on1 - For 1:1 influence immersion coaching Takeaway: We honor those we've lost not by moving on - but by moving with them, through every act of kindness we continue in their name.

The true story of America is that it was built on a caste system comparable to India's, says Pulitzer-prize-winning American journalist Isabel Wilkerson. The author argues that it's key to recognize the roots of the U.S. caste "structure" as she calls it, to understand why conflicts relating to race and class persist. Wilkerson delivered the 2025 Beatty Lecture at McGill University in Montreal.

Jesus Followers Need to Acknowledge the Sufficiency of Jesus, Through Praise, Irrespective of Our Trials and Problems MESSAGE SUMMARY: Some of us and some of our acquaintances have gone through horrendous circumstances. Therefore, we ask, given these circumstances, how can we rejoice in the Lord? Paul tells us, in 2 Corinthians 12:10, that Jesus Followers need to acknowledge the sufficiency of Jesus, through praise and thanksgiving, irrespective of our trials and problems: “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". To fulfill God's exhortation “to rejoice always”, you can rejoice “always” if you keep your eyes on Jesus. David tells us, in Psalm 30:4, to: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”. Paul instructs us for continuous thanksgiving in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.". TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Procrastination. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Show yourself real self-kindness in less than 10 minutes with this self-compassion break guided by psychologist Kristin Neff.How To Do This Practice: Identify what's hard right now: Bring to mind a real situation that's causing you stress, sadness, or self-criticism, something that's currently difficult. It could be a mistake, a relationship challenge, or a feeling of not being enough. Acknowledge your pain: Notice what's happening inside you without judgment. Gently name it: “This is hard,” or “I'm really struggling right now.” Remember you're not alone: Remind yourself that struggle is part of being human. Say something like: “Others feel this way too,” or “It's normal to have moments like this.” Offer yourself kindness: Bring warmth to the part of you that's hurting. You might place a hand over your heart, hold your face gently, or clasp your hands. Physical touch helps calm the nervous system and signals care. Speak supportive words to yourself: Say something to yourself that you'd say to a good friend in the same situation like, “I'm here for you.” “It's okay to be imperfect.” “You're doing the best you can.” Let the compassion sink in: Take a few slow breaths. Feel your body softening. Notice any sense of calm, warmth, or ease that arises, even if it's subtle. You can return to this practice anytime you feel overwhelmed or self-critical.

Guest: Tom Dee Guest Bio: Tom began his sales management career over eight years ago, and he is passionate about turning underperforming teams into high-performing, revenue-generating ones. Tom loves using tools like AI-driven sales insights to stay sharp and ahead of the game. His approach to leadership is all about mentorship, making smart decisions, and keeping the focus on the customer, building relationships that last. Key Points: Career Journey Started in sales by accident. Studied TV and radio production at the University of Dayton, but couldn't find work in that field. While waiting tables, he met the president of a copier company who was impressed by his "sales pitch" and hired him. Learned cold calling and sales fundamentals in copier sales. Connected through the Chamber of Commerce to Ryden, where he started as a sales account representative. After two successful years, he was promoted to sales manager despite having no prior management experience. His boss recognized his leadership potential and sales acumen. Has been with Ryden for nine years, discovering his true calling in leadership, mentorship, and sales management. Music and Sales Tom is also a musician and band singer. Believes music and sales share core similarities: both require creativity, persistence, and appreciation of the process, not just the outcome. Says the best salespeople, like musicians, hone their craft over time — success isn't innate; it's developed through discipline and practice. Comparing recording music ("you don't see how many takes it took") to the sales process, the journey matters as much as the final result. Sales Philosophy Rejects the myth of the "born salesperson." Emphasizes that sales success comes from process, practice, and consistency, not innate talent. Says the best reps "get out what they put in". Hard work and repetition pay off. Values creativity, resilience, and self-belief in sales performance. Leadership & Coaching Approach Focuses on individualized coaching to help each rep become "the best version of themselves." Builds on strengths and raises the floor on weaknesses, progress can mean moving from a D to a B, not perfection. Believes in incremental improvement - small, consistent gains lead to big results. Encourages trust-based coaching by explaining the "why" behind feedback. Promotes two team types: · Business Development Reps: Need direction, creativity, and fresh energy. · Account Reps: Need structure, process optimization, and focus on managing existing clients. Overcoming Sales Call Fear Recognizes fear of cold calling as common, "there's no magic wand." The only real solution is repetition and desensitization: pick up the phone, make calls, and learn from experience. Sales managers often act like psychologists, helping reps shift their mindset from "I'm bothering people" to "I'm helping people." Acknowledges that sales isn't for everyone, and that's okay. The Power of Process Process brings structure and rhythm to an unpredictable job. Encourages reps to block time and eliminate distractions during call sessions. Teaches that routine builds confidence and consistency, helping overcome discomfort. Note the moment of breakthrough when reps see results from their effort; that's when confidence clicks. Use of Scripts Provides scripts to new reps, especially since Ryden is in the print industry with its own terminology. Scripts help reps learn the "language" of their customers. Encourages reps to act as if, use scripts as training wheels until they internalize the message and make it their own. "Fake it till you make it… But eventually, you have to make it." Management Philosophy Believes in meeting people where they are, not forcing everyone into one mold. Success comes from helping each rep develop in their own authentic way. Leadership is about guidance, empathy, and helping others grow, not control.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Swati Mehta of Vituity and Dr. Terrance McGovern and the Director of Nursing, Robyn Dodds, from Marian Regional to talk about how they're helping teams reconnect with the human side of emergency care. They share how a simple communication tool called F.A.S.T.—First impression, Acknowledge, Sit/Say/Slow down, and Teach-back—has strengthened teamwork, reduced burnout, and made a real difference in how patients feel seen and heard.
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is one of the best depictions of the creative process that I've ever seen, exploring where an artist's ideas come from: those sources, personal and environmental that are processed via one's family history, dreams, desires - and are then delivered through said artist's private relationship with their tools - (in this case the Tascam Portastudio, Echoplex reverb unit, and a water-damaged boombox). I was thrilled by that examination, and by Bruce's steadfast protection of his lo-fi masterpiece when it was being threatened by corporate pressure to compromise. Jeremy Allen White is one of America's finest exemplars of smoldering emotion, and the close ups on Springsteen's anguished face were a tour de force of inner conflict. The protean Stephen Graham as Bruce's complicated monster of a father found vivid expression with just a smattering of dialogue. And, Jeremy Strong - an actor capable of the deepest levels of immersion portrays Bruce's guardian angel of a manager, Jon Landau with such grace, and generous restraint that it made me cry. Kudos to all.The pace is pokey, and I personally could have done without the manufactured love story in which the actress, Odessa Young has the unenviable task of having to deliver clunky exposition, notably when she psychologizes Bruce for us. But, all in all, for a story that chronicles depression and child abuse, the darkness is mitigated by the knowledge that our hero emerges from this crucible to become a happily married family man and cultural hero, and create a timeless work of art. The Splendid Bohemians are honored to feature a couple of tributes to The Boss, which recognize his influence and influences: First, a duet with Bruce and Pete Seeger, the Patron Saint and Johnny Appleseed of folk music, singing Bruce's still relevant- (sadly)- homage to John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath: The Ghost of Tom Joad. And, we'll close with Ryan Adams' honorable rendition of Nebraska, the title song from those sources which are celebrated in Warren Zanes book and Scott Cooper's film
Romans 6:15-23 confronts us with a profound truth: we will serve someone or something, whether we acknowledge it or not. This passage challenges the dangerous notion that grace gives us license to continue in sin, asking the piercing question: are we to sin because we're under grace rather than law? The answer rings clear—absolutely not. We're presented with only two masters: sin leading to death, or obedience leading to righteousness. There's no third option, no middle ground where we can blend worldly living with Christian faith. The transformation that comes through Christ isn't an addition to our existing life—it's a complete metamorphosis. We see this illustrated through the story of Elisha, who burned his oxen and plows, eliminating any possibility of retreat to his former life. Similarly, Jesus' disciples left their nets, their boats, and even their father immediately when called. This radical commitment stands in stark contrast to the lukewarm Christianity described in Revelation 3, where the church of Laodicea was neither hot nor cold, prompting Christ to say He would spit them from His mouth. The parable of the sower reminds us that only one in four who hear the word will produce lasting fruit. The question we must wrestle with is this: which soil are we? Are we clinging to escape plans and old relationships that keep us tethered to our former slavery, or are we willing to take that first step of obedience, trusting God will reveal the next?### Sermon Notes**Scripture**: Romans 6:15-23**Introduction**: - Rick, a pastor at Hope Church, continues the study of Romans, focusing on Romans 6. - Reminder that they preach through books of the Bible, emphasizing the importance of scripture-based preaching.**Key Points**:1. **Understanding Sin and Grace**: - The question Paul raises: Are we to sin because we are under grace, not the law? - Emphasis on morality within the law and grace.2. **Analogy of Slavery**: - Paul uses the analogy of being slaves to sin versus slaves to righteousness. - Bob Dylan's illustration: "You gotta serve somebody."3. **Transformation through Salvation**: - Christianity is not just an addition but a transformation of life. - The old self versus the new self: Embrace becoming a slave to righteousness.4. **Challenges in Christian Walk**: - Temptation to mix worldly views and new belief systems with Christianity. - Importance of separating from past sinful lifestyles and friendships.5. **Practical Illustrations**: - Rick's personal testimony about radical change after accepting Christ. - Importance of cutting off past connections that hinder spiritual growth.6. **Reasons for Struggling with Sin**: - Continually resurrecting old sinful behaviors. - Lack of suffering or commitment in serving God wholeheartedly. - Not eliminating the past life entirely.7. **Biblical References to Commitment**: - Examples of Elisha burning his plow and the disciples leaving everything to follow Jesus. - The rich young ruler's story: Heart's attachment to possessions.8. **Fruit of Righteousness**: - Encouragement to analyze life for spiritual fruit. - Belonging entirely to Christ results in sanctification and eternal life.**Practical Applications**:1. **Cut Ties with Sin**: - Identify and remove old habits and relationships that hinder spiritual growth.2. **Embrace Transformation**: - Acknowledge that faith in Christ leads to a completely changed life, not just an addition to current beliefs.3. **Serve with Zeal**: - Dedicate the same energy formerly given to sin towards serving God.4. **Evaluate Your Life**: - Regularly assess if your life reflects the fruit of righteousness or if it's still tied to the old self.5. **Take Steps of Faith**: - Listen for God's direction and take incremental steps towards fulfilling His call.**Discussion Questions**:1.

What are some steps you can take to ensure you're living as a "slave to righteousness" rather than a slave to sin?3. Are there aspects of your past life that you are still holding onto, and how can you fully commit them to God?4. How has your commitment to Christ transformed your everyday life and decisions?5. Discuss a time when taking a small step of faith led to a significant spiritual victory or growth in your life.
Managing the Slump A slump is a period where individuals or the team suddenly can't perform at their usual level. Confidence disappears, shots that always fall rim out, and frustration mounts. Acknowledge, Don't Panic: First, openly acknowledge the slump without blame or panic. Normalize it as a part of the game. Showing frustration as a coach will only make your players tighter. Shift Focus to Process: Stop focusing on the outcome (missed shots, losses). Instead, obsess over the process. Are you getting good shots? Is the ball movement crisp? Are you executing defensive assignments? Praise the process goals, even if the ball isn't going in. Simplify Everything: Don't install a complex new offense. Go back to basics. Run simple, high-percentage drills and plays that get players easy looks and build back their confidence. Sometimes, the best slump-buster is a simple layup or an uncontested jump shot in practice. Analyze, Don't Obsess: Use film to look for correctable patterns. Are players rushing shots? Is a specific defensive rotation being missed? Find one or two small, actionable things to fix, not ten. Break the Routine: Sometimes a slump is mental monotony. A radically different practice—like a "fun" day (dodgeball, contests) or even an unexpected day off—can be the mental reset the team needs. Losing streaks are different; they test the entire team's culture and your leadership. Your primary job is to keep the team together and focused on improvement. Maintain Your Poise: Your team takes its cues directly from you. If you are defeated, angry, or blame officials, your team will adopt that same negative energy. Project calm, objective confidence. Redefine "Winning": During a losing streak, the final score can't be your only measure of success. Set small, achievable "wins" for the next game: "We will win the rebound battle," "We will have fewer than 10 turnovers," or "We will hold their best player under 15 points." Celebrate achieving these small goals, regardless of the final score. Hold Everyone Accountable (Positively): This isn't the time to stop coaching. Maintain your standards for effort and execution in practice. However, frame your corrections around improvement ("Let's get this right") rather than past failures ("You keep messing this up"). Find the Positives: Scour the game film for something good. It might be one player's great hustle, a perfect box-out, or a well-executed play, even if it ended in a miss. Highlight these moments in practice to show that good things are still happening. Stay United: Losing breeds finger-pointing. Over-communicate the importance of "staying together." Encourage players to pick each other up. Your message must be: "We will get out of this, and the only way we do it is as a team." Leading Through Losing Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rachel Lundberg, a movement educator, chronic illness survivor, and founder of Yoga Oak University. Rachel shares her transformative journey from ballet and modern dance to creating a global yoga education platform. Together, they explore how mindful movement, breathwork, and alignment-based yoga can regulate the nervous system, release emotional tension, and support holistic well-being. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Rachel offers practical insights into using movement as a tool for emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Learn how simple breath practices and conscious movement can unlock deep healing and reconnect you with your authentic self. About the Guest:Rachel Lundberg is a movement educator and founder of Yoga Oak University. A chronic illness survivor and truth-seeker, Rachel combines anatomy, neuroscience, and spirituality in her alignment-based yoga specialist certification programs. She is dedicated to helping individuals and healthcare providers harness the power of mindful movement for emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Key Takeaways: Movement is more than physical exercise; it is a tool for emotional and spiritual processing. Breath regulates the nervous system: inhalation activates sympathetic (fight or flight) responses; exhalation engages parasympathetic (rest and reset) responses. Simple daily practices, like conscious breath and mindful movement, can down-regulate stress and anxiety. Awareness of the body's state—activated, frozen, or depressed—guides personalized practices for healing. Sensory engagement (touch, sound, sight) can help shift energy and increase presence in the moment. Regulation doesn't require advanced yoga; even one mindful movement or one conscious breath can initiate healing. The ABC technique (Acknowledge, Breathe, Connect) helps identify bodily sensations and guide nervous system regulation.

Tammy J. Bond shares her frustration after hearing a story from a middle manager dealing with a chaotic environment. The core issue: senior leaders are prioritizing being liked and showing misplaced "compassion" over actual leadership, accountability, and clear expectations. This episode is a fierce examination of how this dynamic demoralizes middle managers, promotes a culture of mediocrity, and actively destroys team trust and performance. Tammy challenges both senior leaders to put on the "boss hat" and middle managers to lead down and courageously speak up. Key Takeaways for Leaders (At All Levels) Chaos is Contagious, and so is Mediocrity: When leaders above the middle manager avoid difficult decisions (like performance termination), they model that mediocrity is acceptable, frustrating the rest of the high-performing team. Friendship is Not a Strategy: Prioritizing feeling liked or showing "compassion" in a performance issue is a destructive leadership failure. Compassion for hurt is necessary; compassion for unacceptable performance is enabling. The Cost of Circumvention: When a senior leader oversteps a middle manager (e.g., going directly to the employee or giving them assignments) it shows a break in trust, a lack of respect, and a disconnect that breaks down the entire organizational structure. The 90-Day Rule: Leaders must be slow to hire and quick to fire. Performance issues should be addressed and resolved (via performance plan or termination) well within the initial 90-day evaluation period. The Middle Manager's Survival Guide Middle managers are often stuck: managing up, communicating down, and balancing two sides with no support. Here's how to navigate the tension: Lead Down and Pull People Closer: When the top is failing, focus your energy on your team. Allow a three-minute "whine 101" for them to voice frustration. Acknowledge, "Heard, understood," and then ask, "And now what?" to shift to solution mode. Courageously Manage Up: Do not suffer in silence. Use curiosity to address boundary violations with your boss. Try framing your question like this: "I'm just curious, help me understand what's missing in my management style that's causing you to go around me directly to my staff? Here's what it feels like, and here's how it impacts the team." Know When to Escalate: If the unhealthy and destructive behavior of your superior continues, you have a right to go to HR to have a conversation about the negative impact on the team and your ability to lead. A word from Tammy: I unapologetically ask bold questions and challenge assumptions to help leaders rethink what they thought was true! If this episode resonates with you and you need help having this conversation with your boss, reshare this episode, tag me in your post, and I will reach out to discuss a role-play strategy.
Stephanie welcomes Elizabeth Urbanowitz to discuss how we can equip our children with a biblical understanding of sexuality and gender. Discover the tools you need to disciple your child with purpose and grace! Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design is a thoughtful, timely, and practical resource that will coach you through some of the most foundational conversations you can have with your children. It's more crucial than ever to talk with our children about God's design for sexuality and gender. As our culture's understanding of human identity shifts, Christian parents, grandparents, and mentors are called to be the primary voices shaping the next generation's worldview on these sensitive topics. Ten years ago, few would have imagined discussing sexuality or gender identity with young children. However, today's culture often defines people by their desires and feelings, leading to confusion over what it means to be human. The Christian response is to provide clarity rooted in God's Word—especially around key biblical themes such as being made in God's image (Psalm 139) and understanding redemption through Christ. Elizabeth Urbanowitz emphasizes starting conversations on sexuality and gender with children as young as four or five years old. The earlier parents introduce these topics, the more their children see them as trustworthy “experts” (she calls this the “Founder's Effect”). Just as a child memorizes basic math facts before tackling algebra, simple biblical truths learned early become anchors for discerning truth from cultural messages later in life. Children encounter issues like sexual abuse, pornography, and gender confusion younger than ever. Even adults without children are likely to influence young people as teachers, mentors, or relatives. It's essential to have clear, simple language to explain: Bodies are valuable and designed by God. Private parts deserve protection and privacy. If children disclose uncomfortable experiences, adults should listen, seek understanding, and reinforce these truths with compassion. Elizabeth draws everything back to scripture. The Bible presents God as our Designer, and His design (for our bodies, marriage, sexuality) is the wise and loving blueprint for human flourishing. When addressing hard questions—like same-sex marriage, gender identity, or masturbation—parents are encouraged to reference what God has revealed, not just their opinions. To help children remember key truths, parents can teach simple catechism-like phrases. For example, “Marriage is one man and one woman becoming one flesh for life,” or “God designed us as male or female—God's design is good.” These become invaluable tools when children are confronted with cultural lies. A major point is that kindness doesn't mean agreement. Being compassionate means loving others and telling the truth (not just making them feel good). Children should be taught to respect and care for everyone, including those living differently, without affirming what's unbiblical. For parents of older children or teens, start with prayer, then listen to what they've already learned. Acknowledge any shortcomings, gently offer biblical truths, and focus on building a trusting, ongoing dialogue. God's Word is sufficient for every generation. Parents, family members, and the faith community play vital roles in helping kids navigate a confusing world. Start early, speak simply, root everything in scripture, and model truth with kindness and courage. Take time this week to consider what “building a biblical foundation” practically looks like for the children in your life. What is one conversation you can start, or one phrase you can teach, to prepare them for these challenging but crucial topics? MORE ABOUT “HELPING YOUR KIDS KNOW GOD'S GOOD DESIGN” Discipling Your Child One Conversation at a Time In today's pervasively secular culture, it's more essential than ever to guide your children toward a biblical worldview on all issues―including the complex topics of sexuality and gender. But as a parent, how do you have these discussions in an informed, age-appropriate, and Christ-centered way? This how-to handbook equips you to talk about sex, gender, and the Bible with children between the ages of 4 and 12 with confidence and nuance. Inside you'll find biblically grounded answers to some of Christian parents' most common questions, including When should I first have the sex talk with my child? How do I explain sexual sin to my child? How do I teach my child to love others without affirming another person's sin? How do I talk with my child about what the Bible teaches about same-sex relationships? How do I handle the fear that I'll have these conversations the wrong way? Discover the tools you need to disciple your child with purpose and grace! Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design is a thoughtful, timely, and practical resource that will coach you through some of the most foundational conversations you can have with your children. MORE ABOUT ELIZABETH URBANOWITZ Elizabeth Urbanowicz is a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. She holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish, an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students' media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students' thinking in junior high and beyond. Elizabeth now works full-time on developing comparative worldview and apologetics resources for children. Her goal is to prepare the next generation to be lifelong critical thinkers and, most importantly, lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. https://foundationworldview.com/about/meet-the-founder We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.
