Friends, we've got a special episode for you today. Comic book icons Wendy Pini and Richard Pini join the podcast for the first time, and they hang out for a lengthy, deep dive conversation into Elfquest's origins. Their romance began in the letters column of Silver Surfer #5 (1968), materialized as the result of a clandestine cross-country road trip, and solidified through creative collaboration, which would also challenge their partnership. Elfquest is nearly fifty years old, but it's as vibrant and relevant as ever. These comics are waiting for anyone already caught up in the Romantasy BookTok discourse. It's a profoundly philosophical work, bashing against humanity's great worries, ready to absorb those anxieties and potentially process them toward action. However, as much as you'll find yourself in Elfquest, you'll discover Wendy and Richard Pini, too. Like the best stories, it's autobiography masked as fiction. As new readers ourselves, we can guarantee Elfquest's contemporary grip. Chief Cutter's journey from the forest to the desert and the greater world beyond found us just when our lives were thrown in upheval. So, it was more than a pleasure to chat with Wendy Pini and Richard Pini about their great comic book saga, how it came to be, and why they continue as its shepherds. Over the last few years, Dark Horse Comics has gathered Elfquest: The Original Quest into four beautiful hardcover collections. Recently, they also published Elfquest: The Final Quest in a glorious hardcover omnibus, and Elfquest: The Hidden Years will receive a massive Gallery Edition Hardcover in July. Call your local comic shops asap. To stay abreast of everything Elfquest, make sure you're following them on their website, Instagram, and Bluesky.

What does it take to build a global design firm from scratch and then walk away from it at the top of your game? Mia Feasey did exactly that. She launched her international design business at just 24 years old, scaled it across borders, and made the bold decision to exit at 45, not because she had to, but because she chose to. In this episode, Christina's special guest Mia gets refreshingly real about what it actually took: the risks she took before she felt ready, the moments she almost played it safe, and why authenticity became her most powerful business strategy. If you've ever wondered what's waiting for you on the other side of a big leap, or if you're quietly dreaming of your own next chapter, this conversation will light a fire under you. About Mia Mia Feasey is the founder of Siren Design Group, a global design consultancy she built from a single Sydney studio into an international powerhouse with clients like Amazon, Google, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Guided by a people-first philosophy and a refusal to fear failure, she grew the firm over 20 years before making the bold decision to hand over the reins and walk away. Now based in Queenstown, New Zealand, Mia is channeling the same creativity and courage that built her business into redesigning her life — slowing down, reconnecting with her family, and figuring out what truly makes her heart sing.

LDS AND MEDIUM PODCAST BACKGROUND:I was born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or LDS for short. All my life I felt awkward and out of place, not because of my religion, but because of my spiritual gifts. It was hard to combine the idea of what first seemed like two separate worlds. So my whole life I have tried. I have learnt more about my gifts, and stayed faithful to my faith. But then I heard people left the church because it seems impossible to combine the two. So I am here, to try and mend the rift. To show that it is possible to be both LDS and to have, and use, our spiritual gifts. I am not alone on this journey, but my sister, who just is waking up to her spiritual gifts is by my side and she will also share her story.Jesus Christ, our older brother, was a healer. He asked us to love one another. So let´s follow in his footsteps. Please join me on this journey, let´s make a community of strong spiritual LDS, or whatever religion you belong to, and all work together to make this world a better place.If you like what I do, then you can find me here:https://linktr.ee/ldsandmediumIf you have words of support or stories that you anonymously want me to share please write me at ldsandmedium@gmail.com.

I'm back—and this one is close to my heart. In this episode, I'm talking about something so many of us face: depression, low motivation, and feeling completely stuck. My favorite quote, 'Depression can't hit a moving target,' frames everything I share here — practical, habit-based strategies for showing up for yourself even on the days you really don't want to. I also bring back the fan-favorite weekly review, my current obsessions, goals of the week, a listener affirmation, and a self-love journaling prompt.Affirmation of the Week:✨I can restart my life at any time.✨Self-Love Question of the Week:How can I show up for myself when I feel like my back is against the wall?Connect & Support the ShowLeave a review on Apple Podcasts to be featured in a future episodeRate the show on SpotifyShare this episode to your Instagram or TikTok Stories and tag me!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Stay Sparked, longtime friends and co-hosts John and Betsy turn the conversation inward, offering listeners a deep, intimate look at the creation of the Power Affirmation Journal and the years-long journey that brought it into the world.Rather than an interview, this episode unfolds as a reflective dialogue between collaborators—one that traces Betsy's evolution as a healer, creator, and guide, and the moment when a simple journaling practice transformed into a full system for reprogramming belief patterns and cultivating conscious change. Betsy shares how the journal arrived not just as an idea, but as something that felt alive—asking to be born—and how trust, accountability, ceremony, collaboration, and timing all shaped its development.Together, John and Betsy explore themes of creative conviction, imposter syndrome, discipline versus play, divine timing, and what it means to create in service rather than hustle. The conversation also dives into the structure and intention behind the journal and companion deck, touching on neuroplasticity, affirmation practices, gratitude, and how small, consistent inner shifts can reshape our lived experience.Woven throughout are stories of community support, ritual, sustainability, and the unexpected doors that opened when Betsy surrendered control and asked for help—ultimately leading the journal and deck into wider distribution and deeper impact.This episode is an invitation for creators, healers, and seekers alike to trust what's moving through them, honor the slow unfolding of meaningful work, and remember that transformation happens when intention meets mindful action.✨☕ This episode is sponsored by www.BecomeLucid.com Lucid is a functional mushroom and nootropic brand designed to fuel mental clarity, focus, and long-term brain health.

You can't change what you don't know. We love encouragement, but we often resist the correction that actually transforms us. The truth is: avoiding correction is avoiding transformation. God doesn't expose us to shame us — He surrounds us with people to heal us. So here's the question: Who knows the real you, and who has permission to challenge you? Watch this week's message and lean into the growth God has for you.
I. Introduction: The Message and Mission of Victory Church Overview of the Victory Church podcast: teaching and worship messages. Church mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers. Central theme: the faithfulness of God — His dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness. II. Understanding God's Faithfulness Our faith rests not on our faithfulness, but on God's proven record. Encouragement to know, memorize, meditate on, and live by the Word of God. God's faithfulness remains constant despite life's ups and downs. III. Lesson from 2 Chronicles 16:7–10 — King Asa and the Prophet Hanani The prophet (“seer”) rebuked Asa for relying on human power instead of God. The “eyes of the Lord” search the earth for loyal hearts to strengthen. Asa's foolish anger at correction serves as a warning against pride and spiritual resistance. IV. The Role of Prophets, Pastors, and Counselors God speaks through His servants to bring clarity and correction. The danger of isolation: believers need pastors, accountability, and spiritual community. The “one another” principles of the New Testament — loving, praying for, and encouraging one another. V. The Importance of Church and Unity Jesus Himself regularly attended worship. Countering cultural messages that say believers don't need church or pastors. The power of unity — believers praying, worshiping, and standing together. VI. Relying on God, Not Natural Thinking Asa's mistake: trusting human wisdom instead of divine guidance. Distractions and deception are the enemy's primary tools. The Word of God renews the mind and guards against subtle lies. VII. The Power and Necessity of the Word The Word is a hammer that breaks strongholds and transforms hearts. Sermons and Scripture are tools for shaping believers — not short motivational talks. The preaching of the Word remains essential even when unpopular. VIII. Staying Teachable and Humbly Receiving Correction King Asa's downfall was pride and resistance to counsel. Believers should remain humble, lifelong learners open to godly wisdom. Experience becomes true learning only when processed through the Word and wisdom. IX. God's Faithfulness and Our Loyal Hearts God seeks loyal, not perfect, hearts. Loyalty involves repentance, humility, and trust. God desires to show Himself strong for His people just as He has in the past. X. Bearing Fruit at Every Stage of Life Believers can bear fruit even in old age. Mentorship: older generations have wisdom to pass on to younger ones. Fruitfulness includes spiritual influence and discipleship, not just activity. XI. Conclusion: A Call to Worship and Renewal God's character is unchanging—He remains faithful even when we are faithless. Invitation to pray, worship, and recommit to trusting God. Affirmation that God continues to work, bless, and restore His people through His faithfulness.

This week, comic shop employees from all over gather in Glendale, California. It's time for ComicsPRO, the annual event designed to “promote the progress and development of comic book retailers and improve the condition of the comic book industry.” It's one of our favorite times of the year as we eagerly sit by our computers waiting for announcements from publishers and the good word from our LCS pals. Sadly, we cannot be in person this year, but that doesn't mean we can't bring you exclusive information. Thanks to writer Zack Kaplan, who's on the ground at ComicsPRO, we're there by proxy. And he's dishing on his big announcement, extending his partnership with Dark Horse Comics, bringing us the final chapter in Kill All Immortals and two more new titles, Only The Savage Are Left and The Smart Division. Kill All Immortals is a nifty, nasty look at the boot standing on our necks: the billionaire class. The comic imagines a universe where various immortal clans have gobbled up control of the economy, but one is starting to crumble from within. Frey Asvald, daughter of Erik the Red, can no longer sit idly as her family consumes the planet. She wants to help us poor mortals, but in doing so, she exposes herself and others to tremendous violence. And can you really keep your hands clean when attempting global, capital G, Good? On this week's podcast, we discuss the state of comic book retail, a bizarre occurrence involving our local shops, and the anxiety of putting new books into readers' hands. Zack Kaplan gives us the skinny on Kill All Immortals as well as his two new titles at Dark Horse. We dig into our collective billionaire woes and consider one particular violent action committed by Frey in Kill All Immortals Volume One. Kill All Immortals is written by Zack Kaplan, illustrated by Fico Ossio, colored by Thiago Rocha, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Covers by Oliver Barrett (although the header image above is from variant cover artist Tula Lotay). Make sure you're following Zack Kaplan on BlueSky, Instagram, and his website. This Week's Sponsors This February, Dave Stevens's The Rocketeer soars again in a brand-new story written by John Layman, the genius behind the foodie cannibal detective series Chew, and illustrated by Jacob Edgar, who drew Plastic Man: No More and has a very cool J.

None other than Amelia Earhart! The first issue crashes into comic book shops on February 25th, courtesy of IDW Publishing.

The most valuable skill I've ever learned isn't about performance, mindset, or even resilience. It's communication.In this solo episode, I'm teaching you one of the most powerful tools I use as a coach, mentor, professor at the University of Pennsylvania, keynote speaker, parent, and partner. It comes from motivational interviewing and it's called OARS: Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, and Summarizing.These skills have completely changed how I show up in conversations. They've made me a better coach, teacher, partner, mom, and human.Motivational interviewing is a client-centered communication approach designed to guide people toward what matters most to them. Instead of telling someone what to do (which often undermines autonomy and competence), this framework helps people feel heard, understood, and empowered to make their own decisions.In this episode, I walk you through what active listening really means (and why most of us aren't actually doing it) and how to ask open-ended questions that deepen conversations. I discuss how affirmations and reflective listening builds trust and shared understanding. I also give real-life examples you can use immediately with your partner, your kids, your team at work, or your friends.And yes, we talk about AI. Because as AI handles more intellectual tasks, our human communication skills will matter even more.If you want stronger relationships, better conflict management, and deeper connection in your personal and professional life, this episode gives you one skill to practice today. Top 5 Takeaways:Communication is a partnership, not a directiveOpen-ended questions deepen conversationsReflective listening builds trustAffirmations reinforce strengths and valuesIn an AI-driven world, human communication skills are a competitive advantageLINKS- Learn about meditation from Oren Jay Sofer- Episode on how to be a better communicator--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

When you repeat them consistently, they gently shift your inner dialogue from doubt, fear, or self-criticism toward confidence, trust, and possibility. Over time, this new way of thinking influences how you feel, the choices you make, and how you show up in the world.Why do affirmations work?Affirmations work because your mind believes what you repeatedly tell it—especially when those words are spoken calmly and with presence. When you replace habitual negative thoughts with supportive ones, you reduce mental resistance and emotional stress. This creates a more relaxed, receptive state where clarity, motivation, and positive action can naturally arise.The science behind affirmationsFrom a scientific perspective, affirmations are linked to neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself based on repeated thoughts and experiences. Research in psychology and neuroscience shows that intentional self-talk can strengthen neural pathways associated with confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation. In simple terms, what you consistently focus on and repeat helps shape how your brain responds to life—making affirmations a powerful tool for long-term mindset change.Words and music by Bob Baker (c) 2026.All of my recordings appear first on YouTube.
