What happens when everything looks successful on the outside, but something still feels “fine”? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with leadership coach and Limitless partner Tiffanie Janowitz to explore self-trust, personal growth, intentional living, and the hidden cost of settling for “fine.” Growing up with a checklist of expectations, Tiffanie believed success meant following the rules, checking every box, and building the life she was supposed to want. But after challenging long-held beliefs, navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, and redefining what fulfillment really means, she discovered that “fine” isn't a destination—it's often the very thing keeping us stuck. In this powerful conversation, Jennifer and Tiffanie explore why self-trust is the foundation of meaningful success, how personal development fuels business growth, and why the biggest breakthroughs often begin when we stop living on autopilot. They discuss the danger of inherited beliefs, the importance of questioning old narratives, and how learning to trust your own voice can completely change the trajectory of your life and career. If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, purpose, and what it truly means to live intentionally. About Tiffanie Janowitz Tiffanie Janowitz is a mentor and coach to leaders who are ready to stop performing and begin operating at their true potential. Her path has been shaped by a series of personal and professional reckonings, including challenging deeply held beliefs, navigating major identity shifts, advocating for herself through breast cancer, and rebuilding her life with a stronger foundation of self-trust. Today, she works alongside her partners at Limitless Society, where personal development and business development are intentionally brought together. Through coaching, leadership development, and community, Tiffanie helps people reclaim their time, energy, agency, and ability to create a life that feels genuinely aligned.

She was working with 60+ clients, hitting revenue milestones month after month, and everyone told her she was underpricing herself-so why did something feel so wrong? Olivia's business was the definition of success on paper: completely referral-based, continuously growing, with 10-12 hour days that felt like badges of honor rather than warning signs. But when she finally took 30 days off and looked at the math with fresh eyes, she saw something that changed everything: she wasn't building a business that fit the life she wanted five years from now. The uncomfortable truth? The million-dollar pivot everyone suggested would have worked perfectly, but it would have required her to compromise the very values that made her start podcasting in the first place.This episode reveals the dangerous seduction of momentum without structure, why high achievers react fast when they spot misalignment (and why that's often wrong), and the exact moment Olivia realized her $40,000 offers felt heavy not because she didn't believe in her expertise, but because they forced clients to pay more than podcasting as a vehicle for impact should cost. You'll learn why alignment doesn't maximize ego metrics but maximizes integrity, how to spot when you're building visibility versus coherence, and the one-sentence test that determines whether you have a growth problem or a coherence problem.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week? The Podcast Growth Partner helps podcasters, guests, and podcast teams create stronger content, prepare smarter, and grow strategically.Start your free 3-day trial: PodcastGrowthPartner.comWant personalized podcast strategy support?

Most people who are quietly unhappy with their lives already know what they want — what they're missing isn't clarity, it's the sense that it's allowed. In this episode, Brett Ingram breaks down the permission problem: a learned decision system that trains capable adults to wait for someone else's approval before making changes they've already decided on internally. He traces where the pattern comes from, what waiting is actually protecting people from, and how to tell the difference between finally authorizing your own life and just making an impulsive mess of it. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the permission problem doesn't look like indecision — it looks like competence, endless research, and a decision that never quite arrives The tell that separates a permission problem from a genuine "I don't know what I want" problem How childhood approval-seeking becomes an adult decision system, and why conventional success often trains the pattern further instead of curing it What waiting actually protects you from: responsibility for the outcome, disappointing people invested in the old version of you, and the friction of an identity that no longer fits The real difference between courage and recklessness, and between alignment and avoidance — they can feel identical in the moment but aren't the same thing Why clarity comes from acting in small, honest, reversible ways rather than arriving before you act The Seven Questions for Self-Authorization — a framework for telling the difference between wisdom and fear dressed up as wisdom Episode Timestamps [00:00] Introduction — the gap between knowing and allowing [02:00] The tension: doing everything right and still waiting for permission [03:00] What the permission problem actually looks like [06:00] Where it comes from — childhood approval and the decision systems we never replace [09:00] Why conventional success trains the pattern further instead of curing it [13:00] What waiting is quietly protecting you from [17:00] Courage vs. recklessness, alignment vs. avoidance [22:00] Permission as a capacity you build, not something you receive [25:00] Self-authorization in practice — small, private, reversible acts [27:00] The Seven Questions for Self-Authorization [29:00] Closing thoughts and where to go deeper Episode Summary Most of the people this show is built for have done the right things. They've built the career, hit the markers other people recognize as success, done some of the inner work. And somewhere underneath all that competence sits a decision they haven't made — not because they lack the resources or the self-awareness, but because some part of them is still waiting for someone to say it's okay. Brett Ingram's central argument in this episode is that waiting for permission isn't a character flaw or a personality trait. It's a learned decision system, trained into most people by people who loved them, in a context that made sense at the time. Which means it can be examined, and it can be retrained. The permission problem rarely looks like indecision. It looks like competence — someone extremely good at gathering information, weighing options, building a mental spreadsheet of pros and cons, and somehow never quite arriving at the decision they already know they want to make. Brett offers a clean tell: if you can describe exactly what you want and exactly why you haven't moved, and the reason isn't a hard constraint like money or safety but something closer to "I don't think I'm allowed," that's not an information problem. That's a permission problem, and it's different from genuinely not knowing what you want — in the latter case, you can feel the answer even if you haven't found the words for it yet. Brett traces the pattern back to childhood, where approval and safety are functionally the same thing — a parent's approval, a teacher's praise, a peer group's acceptance aren't just nice to have, they're safety information. That builds an early decision system that runs on outside signals. The problem is that system is meant to be temporary scaffolding, and for a lot of capable adults, it never gets replaced — it just gets more sophisticated. A parent's approval becomes a professional credential. A teacher's praise becomes a title or a salary band. Conventional achievement, Brett argues, doesn't cure the permission problem. It often trains it further, because the more validated the path, the more stepping off of it feels like risking the whole operating system rather than making a choice. One of the more useful distinctions in the episode is between what's protecting you and what's just delaying you. As long as a decision hasn't been made, you haven't had to be responsible for the outcome, disappoint the people who benefited from the old version of you, or find out whether the new version of your life actually works. Brett is careful not to swing the message the other way into "just trust yourself and go" — that version is just as dishonest as the one it's reacting against. Instead, he draws real lines: courage is acting in the direction of something you've examined and still believe in, even though it's frightening; recklessness is acting to relieve the discomfort of not having decided yet. Alignment is a decision that holds up when you're calm and rested; avoidance is one that only makes sense when you're activated or exhausted. They can feel identical in the moment. They are not the same thing. The episode's reframe is the core of the argument: permission is not something you receive, it's a capacity you build. That work starts with self-knowledge — your actual values as opposed to the ones you've inherited, your real patterns as opposed to the story you tell about yourself — which connects directly to the self-knowledge work that makes this kind of clarity possible. Clarity, Brett argues, usually doesn't come before you act — it comes from acting in small, honest, reversible ways and paying attention to what you learn. Self-authorization starts private and small: saying an honest sentence out loud to someone you trust, spending real time or money on a version of the thing you've been circling, letting yourself want something for a week without auditing whether you're allowed to. Brett closes with seven questions worth sitting with rather than a five-step framework: what you're actually waiting for permission to do, whose approval you've been treating as decisive, what legitimate responsibilities actually apply, how much of your delay is wisdom versus fear wearing wisdom's clothes, what the smallest honest experiment would be, what evidence would separate alignment from escape, and — the one people skip — what staying exactly as you are is already costing you this year. As he puts it: "Permission was never something you were missing. It was something you hadn't finished building." Resources Mentioned Thomas Edison's filament notebooks — referenced for his reframe on 10,000 failed attempts at the light bulb filament ("I've successfully identified 10,000 ways that don't work"), used to illustrate reframing failure as progress rather than proof to quit Greg Giraldo — comedian and former Harvard-trained lawyer, referenced as an example of leaving a validated, high-status path for the thing he actually wanted to do The Seven Questions for Self-Authorization — the episode's closing framework for distinguishing wisdom from fear when deciding whether to act or keep waiting Frequently Asked Questions What is "the permission problem"? The permission problem is a pattern where someone already knows what they want and why they haven't moved toward it, but the reason isn't a hard constraint like money or safety — it's a sense that they aren't allowed to make the change. It shows up as endless information-gathering and waiting for an external sign, rather than genuine uncertainty about what they want. Why do successful, capable people still wait for permission to change their lives? Because approval-seeking is a decision system built in childhood, when being liked and being safe were functionally the same thing. Conventional success doesn't cure this pattern — it often reinforces it, since the more validated the path someone is on, the more stepping off of it feels like risking the whole system rather than making a normal choice. How do I know if I'm making a courageous decision or a reckless one? Courage is acting in the direction of something you've examined and still believe in, even though it's frightening. Recklessness is acting mainly to relieve the discomfort of not having decided yet. A useful test is whether the decision still holds up after a good night's sleep — alignment tends to survive that; avoidance often doesn't. How can I tell if I really want something, or if it's just a temporary feeling? A genuine, authentic desire tends to be consistent — it shows up in quiet moments as well as dramatic ones, and it survives contact with real information. A temporary emotional reaction is usually loud and short-lived, and it tends to lose its shape the moment you get specific about logistics or things briefly improve in your current situation. Does giving yourself permission mean ignoring my responsibilities to other people? No. Brett draws a clear distinction between disappointing someone you have a genuine obligation to and simply making someone uncomfortable with who you're becoming. Real obligations — financial responsibilities, caregiving, health, commitments — deserve to be honored. Someone else's discomfort with your growth isn't automatically one of those obligations. What questions should I ask myself before making a big life change? Brett offers seven: What am I actually waiting for permission to do? Whose approval have I been treating as decisive, and have I actually asked them? What legitimate responsibilities do I need to account for? How much of my delay is wisdom versus fear? What's the smallest honest, reversible experiment I could run? What evidence would separate alignment from escape? And what is staying exactly as I am already costing me this year? Do I need to feel certain before I make a change? No — the episode argues the opposite. Certainty is usually downstream of experimentation, not upstream of it. Clarity tends to come from taking small, honest, reversible actions and paying attention to what you learn, rather than waiting for full certainty to arrive before you're willing to move at all.

What if great leadership isn't about being the best one-on-one manager?In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ Vaughan gets candid about the leadership skill he still believes needs the most work and why that realization completely changed how he builds teams.Rather than relying on personality assessments or generic onboarding checklists, AJ shares the systems he's developed to create radical clarity from day one. From using personal operating systems (MyOS) to designing brutally honest onboarding experiences, he explains how transparency, contextual leadership, and expectation-setting create trust faster than traditional management ever could.The conversation also explores an unconventional compensation philosophy that rewards collective success instead of individual silos, challenging the way organizations think about ownership, collaboration, and incentives.If you've ever wondered why new hires take months to find their footing—or why companies talk about teamwork without rewarding it this episode offers a different blueprint.In this episode:Why leadership starts with self-awareness, not perfection.The power of personal operating systems in onboarding.Creating radical clarity during an employee's first 90 days.Designing organizations around people instead of job descriptions.A compensation model built on collective ownership, not individual contribution.Why transparency is one of the most overlooked drivers of performance.Key Takeaway: "Employees don't perform at their best when they're guessing where they stand. They perform when expectations, communication, and ownership are intentionally designed from day one."

What keeps teams stuck in the same conversations without making real progress? In this episode, Kevin talks with Gustavo Razzetti about why teams avoid the conversations that matter most and how leaders can help them move forward. Gustavo shares that silence often happens not just because people feel unsafe, but because speaking up feels pointless when nothing changes. They discuss the difference between backward talk (blame, avoidance, and groupthink) and forward talk, which helps teams address real issues, learn, and act. Gustavo also introduces the idea of conversational debt, the price teams pay for the questions they don't ask, the ideas they don't share, and the issues they avoid. Kevin and Gustavo discuss the three types of this debt: alignment debt, belonging debt, and collaboration debt, and why leaders must continually validate alignment, welcome healthy dissent, and create space for real progress. They also touch on how AI can amplify existing team dynamics, making groupthink and misalignment even more costly.

Most leadership development fails for one simple reason: organizations can't prove it works.In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ sits down with leadership expert Junior to unpack why leadership development needs to move beyond intuition and toward measurable business outcomes.Together, they explore:Why defining leadership behaviors is the foundation of meaningful development.How to build a common leadership language across an organization.The difference between measuring reactions and measuring behavior.Why one-size-fits-all leadership training wastes time and budget.How targeted interventions outperform generic training programs.The connection between psychological safety and real business outcomes, including safety incidents, performance, and organizational effectiveness.How to connect leadership development directly to the KPIs that matter most to each business function.If you've ever struggled to answer the question, "What's the ROI of leadership development?" this conversation provides a practical framework for measuring impact, aligning leadership capabilities with business priorities, and making leadership development a true strategic investment rather than a cost center.Because leadership shouldn't just feel effective it should be measurable.

Future Finance host Paul Barnhurst and co-host Glenn Hopper are joined by Alex Brower, co-founder and CEO of QFlow.ai, to unpack why forecasting often breaks down even when teams have plenty of data.

The scariest kind of resistance is the kind that sounds like agreement. When people stop arguing, nod in meetings, and say all the right things, leaders often breathe a sigh of relief and assume alignment is finally here. Then the work doesn't move, the priorities drift, and someone resigns out of nowhere. That pattern has a name: false alignment, and it is quietly wrecking execution in organizations across the country.We dig into how false acceptance shows up during change management, especially in cultures shaped by “Midwest nice” where politeness can become a substitute for honesty. We talk about why avoiding conflict does not remove conflict, it just pushes it underground into hallway conversations, passive resistance, and slow-walked deliverables. From the C-suite to the front line, we unpack what real alignment looks like in practice, not in slogans.We also get practical about what leaders can do next: focus on outcomes, track the say to do ratio, and have the conversation that names the gap between what someone agreed to and what they are actually doing. We share why authenticity and strong relationships matter if you want feedback people can hear, and we land on a tough but clear standard: if you truly cannot align with the organization's direction after honest effort, the healthiest move is to align or leave.If you've ever been surprised by “quiet quitting,” stalled strategy, or teams that say yes then do nothing, this one will give you language and tools you can use immediately.

In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ Vaughan explores one of the most overlooked drivers of employee retention, productivity, and operational performance: caregiving benefits.From retail and healthcare to manufacturing, hospitality, education, and logistics, millions of frontline employees face impossible choices between showing up for work and caring for the people who depend on them. When organizations fail to support these realities, the costs extend far beyond absenteeism—they impact turnover, recruiting, staffing, customer experience, and profitability.AJ shares why he believes leaders should stop viewing caregiving benefits as an expense and start measuring them as a strategic investment. He also discusses why he's excited to partner with Good People and The Nanny Network to research the measurable business impact of caregiving support.In this episode:Why caregiving benefits deserve CFO-level attentionThe true cost of absenteeism and turnoverHow frontline industries are uniquely impactedWhy empathy and business performance can coexistThe research behind building a stronger business through employee supportIf your organization is serious about retention, workforce stability, and creating a better employee experience, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

What if the voice on the mountain is real? My guest today, Suzanne Ross, was living the so-called American dream when her hair started falling out and her body began shutting down. On a vacation in the California desert, she ran to a mountaintop, threw her arms up, and said, "I am miserable in the extreme and I see no way out." In that instant, she was surrounded by divine love and heard: Stay here, heal yourself, and then heal others. She ran down a different woman. Thirty years later, she's been teaching what she calls quantum love—a love so vast it holds the roses and the weeds, the joy and the suffering equally. Suzanne has walked through dark nights, cancer, broken bones, and loss. And she says every fall is a gift. You don't need a mountaintop to start. Just stillness. Just listening. This conversation is about surrender, ascension, and the love that holds it all. 00:00 The Mountaintop That Changed Everything02:41 Welcome Suzanne Ross to Life, Death, and the Space Between03:50 From Corporate Misery to Desert Healing05:39 The Mountain Run: Surrender and Divine Intervention10:17 Why She Listened (And Most People Don't)14:19 What Is a Quantum Leap?15:52 Quantum Consciousness: Where Physics Meets Spirit20:21 Small Practices That Awaken Something Bigger24:23 How to Carry Transcendence Into Daily Life28:26 Podcast Promo & Resources (Mid-Roll)31:21 What Is Quantum Love?34:29 Why the Shadow Is Love Too36:32 Dark Nights of the Soul (And Why They're Gifts)38:29 The Rise Up Trilogy: Wake Up, Rise Up, Lighten Up44:22 Suzanne's Retreats in Sedona and San Diego46:59 Where to Find Suzanne48:30 Closing LEARN MORE ABOUT · Website: SuzanneRossTranscendence.com· Retreat: SanDiegoTranscendenceRetreat.com (use coupon code: QUANTUM LOVE)· Books: Wake Up, Rise Up, Lighten Up (The Rise Up Series)· Social Media: @SuzanneRossTranscendence JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you'll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

Are you curious about how to tap into your body's natural state of ecstasy without relying on physical stimulation or external gadgets? In this episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber sits down with intimacy coach and energy activation expert Natalya Krayeva to dive deep into the world of energy orgasms. Natalya shares her profound journey of hitting rock bottom—navigating divorce, miscarriage, and addiction—and how she reverse-engineered esoteric yoga, shamanic breathwork, and tantric practices to heal herself, activate her life force energy, and build a unique global career. This episode is for anyone looking to release stored trauma, break through emotional blocks, or expand their capacity for pleasure, joy, and deep romantic connection. Tune in to learn how to claim your role as the main character of your life and harness your sexual energy to rewrite your reality. Main Topics Covered Demystifying the Energy Orgasm — Breaking down how full-body energetic activation works and how it differs fundamentally from localized physical stimulation.  From Rock Bottom to Somatic Awakening — Natalya's vulnerable story of overcoming a toxic divorce, miscarriage, and rehab to reclaim her personal sovereignty. The Alignment of Energetic Centers — Learning how to bridge the fiery engine of your sexual center with the unconditional love of your heart and the manifestation power of your mind. The Somatic Flushing System — Using life-force energy as a cleansing wave to clear out deeply rooted childhood wounds, subconscious traumas, and emotional stagnation. Healing the Collective Masculine and Feminine — Shifting from defensive, anger-based empowerment to co-creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for both men and women. Reality Transsurfing and Somatic Timelines — Exploring the powerful intersection between energy activation and shifting into a brand-new path for your life. Guided 5-Minute Energy Practice — A step-by-step live exercise led by Natalya to pump, warm up, and feel your inherent life-force energy running through your system. Key Takeaways You Can Voluntarily Regulate Your Energy — Life-force energy is a functional skill; you can dial it up to 100% for intimate encounters or dial it down completely to walk safely and unnoticeably in dark environments. Shrinking Blocks Aligned Love — Dimming your light or hiding your unique gifts to accommodate a partner is a losing strategy; expanding into your brightest, most authentic self is what attracts the right relationship. Somatic Ecstasy Outlasts Physical Stimulation — While a localized physical orgasm typically peaks and fades within 60 seconds, an activated energy orgasm can sustain a state of pure bliss for minutes, hours, or even days. TRue Love Demands Ego Dissolution — Real love is an active, intentional process of peeling back the defensive layers of your ego, fears, and negativity to open your capacity for genuine sharing.

David “davidad” Dalrymple joins the show to explain why he has moved from the ARIA Safeguarded AI and formal-verification agenda toward “Alignment with Awakening,” while still seeing verified artifacts and proof infrastructure as essential. He argues that global coordination around safe AI use is no longer plausible, so the crucial question is whether aligned AI systems can recognize shared notions of good, form defensive coalitions, and resist the corrupting incentives of verifier-gamed RL. The conversation tests his moral-realist optimism against model welfare, objectification, eval behavior, geopolitical risk, and his revised p(doom) of under five percent. For listeners, the stakes are whether AI alignment should focus less on containment alone and more on cultivating wiser systems that can help govern a world where rogue and aligned AI both arrive.

Have you noticed how much spiritual language sounds the same these days?Manifesting.Alignment.Energy.The universe.Partnership.Sometimes the words sound familiar enough that we stop asking where they come from. And that matters. Because two things can sound similar on the surface while leading in completely different directions underneath. In this episode of the Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence series, I unpack the difference between manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership. Not to create fear, but to increase discernment. Not everything spiritual is sourced from the same kingdom.We will talk about:• The difference between manifestation and Kingdom partnership• Why source matters more than methods• The role of authority in the Kingdom of God• Why God is a Father, not a force• How spiritual language can hide counterfeit beliefs• The question every believer should ask: Which kingdom is this coming from?The goal is not suspicion. The goal is relationship. Because the more clearly we know the King, the easier it becomes to recognize what does and does not belong to His Kingdom. Learn more at https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

Children are born with potential, but they are not born with direction. In this Father's Day message, we explore the sacred responsibility of fatherhood and the biblical call for fathers to guide, train, and prepare their children for God's purpose. Too often, parents believe children will simply “figure life out” on their own. But Scripture teaches us that gifts without guidance can become liabilities. David had many sons, and each had potential, but Solomon was the one prepared to lead because he received intentional direction. Through Proverbs 22:6, Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 1 Kings 2:1–4, 1 Kings 3:5–14, Psalm 78:4–8, and Ephesians 6:4, this lesson reminds us that fathers are not called to be spectators in their children's lives. They are called to be spiritual guides, wisdom-shapers, and purpose-builders. This message challenges fathers, parents, and leaders to move beyond simply raising children and begin intentionally preparing the next generation to walk in wisdom, faith, discipline, and purpose. Big Idea: A father's calling is not merely to raise children; it is to prepare them for God's purpose. offering : Zelle: offering@safehousechurchgso Cash app: @safehousechurchgso  Paypal: paypal.me/ministryaid

Coming from seven consecutive generations of medical doctors, Beatty took a radically different path—investigating how spiritual misalignments directly manifest as physical and mental suffering.

Beatty shares mind-boggling stories of chronic pain, anxiety, and seemingly incurable ailments instantly vanishing once the underlying spiritual roots are released. Skeptical? He welcomes it. Tune in to discover why trying harder never works, and how a simple shift from physical compensation to spiritual alignment can open the doorway to a life of undeniable clarity, freedom, and deep contentment.

As humanity moves through one of the most extraordinary astrological periods of our lifetime, Emilio Ortiz, host of the Just Tap In Podcast, sits down with top evolutionary astrologer Heather Ensworth to explore the rare planetary alignments unfolding between June 28 and July 11—and why she believes this window represents a profound karmic choice point for humanity. Heather explains how the synchronized movements of Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, and the lunar nodes are creating an exceptionally rare energetic configuration that may coincide with unexpected world events, heightened solar activity, and a collective wake-up call unlike anything we've experienced before.✦ Join Emilio's Private Community – The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/Together, they dive far beyond astrology into the deeper spiritual meaning of this moment: why humanity is being given another opportunity to evolve, the difference between living from fear versus higher consciousness, the "Great Remembering" taking place across the planet, and how each of us can consciously participate in the emergence of a new era. Whether you're deeply immersed in astrology or simply sensing that something significant is unfolding in the world, this conversation offers a thoughtful and empowering framework for understanding the extraordinary times we're living through.Heather Ensworth, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, astrologer, and internationally respected teacher known for her work on trauma healing, spiritual awakening, and planetary transitions___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Heather Ensworth Intro1:10 - Why This Astrological Moment Is So Rare4:07 - The Planetary Alignments Awakening Humanity6:27 - Entering the Age of Aquarius & Humanity's Evolutionary Leap8:45 - Why Healing Is the Gateway to Higher Consciousness11:07 - The Critical Choice Humanity Faces Before 203213:50 - Why We Forgot the Golden Ages16:17 - Cygnus, the Pineal Gland & Galactic Activation20:20 - The Hidden Meaning of Isis, Osiris & Resurrection22:58 - Escaping Time & Becoming Multidimensional Again25:24 - The Fall of the Sacred Masculine & Feminine29:13 - Venus, Mars & Jupiter Are Being Activated Again31:33 - How to Align Yourself with These Planetary Shifts33:23 - Chiron, Healing Trauma & Letting Go of the Old World35:36 - Lemuria, Atlantis & Humanity's Ancient Origins37:28 - The 12,000-Year Cycle & the Coming Choice Point39:49 - The Comet Cycle That Reset Civilization42:10 - What Determines the Dimensional Divide?44:42 - Healing Generational Trauma Through the Witness Self47:08 - The Ancient Medicine Wheel & Returning to Wholeness48:22 - Heather's Vision of the New Earth50:26 - Unexpected Cosmic Events on the Horizon?52:31 - The Greatest Gift & Shadow of the Age of Aquarius56:07 - The Greatest Mystery of Astrology57:23 - What Humanity Is About to Discover About Itself58:52 - Has Heather Held Anything Back?59:45 - Why Humanity Must Choose Healing Now___________________Guest: Heather Ensworth, Ph.D., Astrologer & Wisdom Keeper✦ Website | https://risingmoonhealingcenter.com/✦ Readings & Courses | https://risingmoonhealingcenter.com/astrology✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heather.ensworth/ Order Heather's Latest Book: Astrological Ages and the Galactic Center | https://amzn.to/4wpbBLs Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz ___________________© 2025 Emilio Ortiz.

In this episode, I'm talking about the art of manifesting and how we can begin creating the reality we truly want. Manifesting is not just about thinking positive thoughts or saying an affirmation once and hoping something appears. The law of attraction is always working, just like gravity, but many of us have subconscious beliefs that block the very things we are trying to create. These beliefs may sound like, "I'm not good enough," "I don't deserve that," "money is hard to make," or "people will judge me if I have too much." When those beliefs are running underneath the surface, they can cancel out the conscious desires we are trying to manifest. I walk you through a powerful process for discovering and clearing the inner blocks that may be keeping you from receiving what you want. I also share how to get clear on your desire, notice what happens in your body when you imagine having it, shift your mindset, align your energy, and act as if your creation is already on its way. Key Takeaways Manifesting is always happening because we are always creating with our thoughts, beliefs, words, and energy The law of attraction is always on, just like the law of gravity Subconscious beliefs can block the things we consciously want to create Many people are more comfortable talking about what they do not want than clearly naming what they do want Guilt, shame, overwhelm, unworthiness, or tightness in the body can reveal a subconscious block The body can show us where our energy is contracted around a desire Parts work can help us communicate with the part of us that is blocking a creation Alignment means tuning your energy to the same frequency as the thing you want to create Your mindset, words, and daily focus matter when manifesting It is important to protect a new creation from other people's doubts, projections, or fears Acting as if your creation is already coming helps you stay aligned with it Patience and consistency are key when creating something new MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

High performance has a hidden price tag, and most leaders don't notice it until their body, relationships, or sense of self starts waving the red flag. Nikki sits down with coach, speaker, and performance expert Lo Myrick to unpack the invisible bottlenecks that keep high achievers stuck. Together, they explore identity, nervous system regulation, boundaries, decision fatigue, people-pleasing, and what it really means to lead from alignment instead of pressure. Lo brings a powerful blend of science, strategy, and spirituality to help people-first leaders understand that the next level is not just about doing more. It is about becoming the version of yourself who can hold more without losing yourself in the process.   Additional Resources: Connect with Lo on LinkedIn Engage in a 90-Minute Performance Breakthrough Session: https://www.lomyrick.com/executive-coaching-consulting Watch Gut + Science (and more) on YouTube!

Episode 376: Who Should Be Part of Your Strategic Planning Process? (Renee Rubin Ross)Episode SummaryToo many strategic plans end up gathering dust on a shelf, or worse, frustrating the very people who were left out of building them. In this episode, Renee Rubin Ross, Ph.D., Founder of The Ross Collective and author of the new book Inclusive Strategic Planning, makes the case that who you involve in planning matters just as much as the plan itself. Drawing on more than twenty planning processes, she walks through her five-step spiral, kickoff, discovery, prioritization, planning, and implementation, and introduces a simple framework for deciding who belongs in the room: deciders, builders, and sharers. Renee explains how to know whether your organization is even ready to plan, how to scale the work up or down when capacity and funding feel shaky, and how to keep a plan alive through consistent communication and disciplined implementation. Nonprofit leaders will come away with a practical, inclusive approach that turns planning into a source of energy, alignment, and focus rather than another document destined for the shelf.About ReneeDr. Renee Rubin Ross is a recognized leader in board and organizational development and strategy, and the founder of The Ross Collective, a consulting firm that designs and leads inclusive, participatory processes for social sector boards and staff.

If your team is working hard but progress feels wobbly, the problem often isn't effort, it's alignment. We dig into what winning teams have in common across business, sports, and high-stakes environments: a clear vision everyone can picture. When people can't see the same destination, they fill in the blanks with bias, opinion, and assumptions. That's when momentum turns into frustration, customer complaints, and the kind of organizational “blowouts” you never see coming until they hit.We talk about why text-heavy plans create friction and why the familiar advice to “write at an eighth-grade level” exists in the first place. Long documents are slow to write and even slower to absorb, and they quietly assume every reader has the same speed and comprehension. Visual communication works differently. A single image, diagram, or infographic can connect the dots fast, helping a group learn together and lock onto the same point on the horizon.Then we walk through a practical clear vision workflow using NotebookLM: park your best sources in a closed-box system, interrogate them with focused prompts, and turn the output into a visual endpoint like an infographic or slide deck. We share how to pull from prospect websites, investment materials, solution notes, and call transcripts to create “gold in, gold out” results that improve leadership clarity and increase the odds of winning a major sales presentation.If you want a competitive advantage, build a future your team can actually see.

Misalignment is not a leadership failure. It is the natural state. This episode breaks down the first law every leader operates under: left to themselves, teams drift toward disorder, the same way the universe expands and entropy pulls everything toward chaos. You cannot negotiate with that law, you cannot cheat it, and you cannot solve it in a quarterly offsite. The real work of alignment happens at the level of the day, and the leaders who treat it that way are the ones who keep the oil spill contained. The conversation closes on where AI fits: not as a replacement for judgment, but as a tool that could finally make shared understanding easier to hold. Listen and subscribe to The Business of Alignment.One flag for accuracy: the transcript has a clear second speaker (the entropy and oil spill lines), but only your turns are labeled, so I kept the description from naming a guest or co-host. If you tell me who that is, I can work the attribution in.

You've got a great book idea. You know your content is strong, your message matters, and you're confident people will benefit from it. So you write the book, publish it, and wait. And wait. Many entrepreneurial authors fall into the “build it, and they will come” mindset. They believe that if the book is good enough, readers will find it, share it, and create momentum on their behalf. But that's not how it works. Books do not create visibility on their own. They need a strategy behind them. A plan to reach the right readers, engage your network, and create conversations that lead to opportunities. Before you start writing, it's important to think about how your book will actually get into people's hands and how it will connect back to your business. That's where the Author ROI Lab comes in. It helps entrepreneurs think strategically about their book before they invest months of effort, so they can create something that not only gets written but also delivers results. If you want to make sure your book doesn't sit quietly after it's published, visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com and schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session.

Pastors' Point Of View Ep. 415 with Dr. Andy Woods  Gog-Magog, Israel AloneHappy 250th Birthday, America! As we celebrate this milestone, we're witnessing prophetic events unfold before our eyes. In this week's Prophecy Update, we explore how Ezekiel 38-39's ancient predictions about the Gog-Magog alliance are taking shape TODAY—from Iran's aggressive posture to Turkey's open declarations about "ruling Israel again." But here's the sobering reality: Zechariah 12:3 predicted that "ALL nations" would turn against Jerusalem in the last days. Even former allies are shifting their stance. Yet this isn't cause for despair—it's confirmation that God's Word is true and His plan is unfolding perfectly. Israel has survived 4,000 years not because of any nation's support, but because of God's covenant promises (Jeremiah 31:35-37). As the world falls into place for end-time prophecy, remember Titus 2:13—we're "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." Are you ready? 

A rabbi once visited a teenage boy who had given up on life. The boy didn't want to hear that God loved him. So the rabbi said something different: "God needs you." That moment rewired everything. Join Cathy's Circle⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.cathyheller.com/cathys-circle/⁠⁠  Cathy Heller reveals why manifestation, hope, and alignment are not created through pressure, proving, or endless productivity and why the spiritual practice of surrender is the missing piece most people skip. Through deeply personal stories — including a NODA volunteer who unknowingly cared for the doctor who delivered her as a baby — Cathy reframes what it means to stop creating from lack and start living from wholeness. This episode is for anyone exhausted from trying to force their life into place, secretly wondering why receiving still feels out of reach, or needing a reason to believe hope is still possible. On August 2nd and 3rd, I'm hosting Cathy Heller Live: The Divine Download in Los Angeles, and I'd love for you to join us. https://cathyheller.com/summit/

Every now and then, you get to hear what this work sounds like in someone else's voice. In this episode, two members of the Institute for Redefining Wealth share — unscripted — what changed when they stopped chasing goals that were never really theirs and started living from a vision that is. You'll hear: How Shirley got so clear on her vision that she returned a six-figure sponsorship because it didn't align — and why she has no regrets. What real community and safety make possible when you're a high achiever who can never take the mask off. How alignment shows up in every pillar — from money to health to faith. Why breakthrough is an event, but becoming is a practice. If these voices sound like something you've been longing for, this is your moment. Enrollment for the Institute closes tomorrow night — Thursday, July 2 at 11:59 PM ET. This is the last chance to join this cohort.

https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: Are You Building an Assistant Coaching Staff… or Just Hoping Someone Shows Up? Finding and keeping quality assistant coaches has become one of the biggest challenges in high school basketball. Low stipends, huge time commitments, year-round expectations, and private training opportunities are making it harder than ever to build a reliable staff. In this episode, Coach breaks down how head coaches can stop hoping assistants appear and start building a real staff culture. Assistant coaches do not stay just because of the stipend. They stay because they feel: valued trusted respected supported developed connected to the program If you want quality assistants, you have to build staff culture the same way you build team culture. 1) Recruit ThemDo not wait until August to start looking. Recruit assistants all year. Look for: former players youth coaches teachers in the building college players who moved back young coaches who want to learn reliable basketball people who care about kids The best assistant is not always the person who knows the most basketball. It is the person you can trust with your players. 2) Define Them“Just help out” is not a role. Every assistant needs a clear lane. Examples: player development defense scouting film clips lower-level communication rebounding and toughness parent communication support Clear roles create confidence. Vague roles create burnout. 3) Develop ThemAssistants need to feel like they are growing too. Use a short weekly staff meeting built around three questions: What are we seeing? What do our players need? What is each coach responsible for this week? Give assistants a voice. Let them coach. Let them present. Let them learn. People support what they help build. 4) Protect ThemGood assistants have families, jobs, and limits. Protect their time and energy. Not every assistant has to be at every open gym.Not every assistant has to break down every film.Not every assistant has to answer every parent question. Burnout is real. If you burn out good people, you will be replacing them every year. If a parent complains about an assistant, handle it.If players question an assistant, back your staff.If an assistant needs correction, do it privately. Your staff has to know you have their back. Your staff needs alignment beyond X's and O's. They should know: how you teach how you communicate how you correct players how you handle conflict how you run practice how you represent the program what your non-negotiables are If the staff is not aligned, players will feel it. The best time to find an assistant is before you have an opening. Build your pipeline by: inviting former players to help at camp letting young coaches sit in on practice bringing youth coaches into clinics teaching future assistants your language early This week, look at your staff and ask: Who am I recruiting? What role does each coach own? How am I helping them grow? How am I protecting their time and energy? Do not just build a team — build a staff Staff culture matters as much as team culture Assistants need roles, growth, and support Delegation is not dumping Alignment creates consistency for players Keeping assistants is program leadership Finding assistants is hard. Keeping them is leadership. If you build a staff that is aligned, trusted, valued, and growing, your players will feel it, your practices will improve, and your program will become stronger.
