For most of her creative life, Charuka Arora Founder of Arts to Hearts Project believed creative success belonged to a certain kind of person people from the right city, the right family, the right circles. She did not see herself in that picture. A decade of building Arts to Hearts Project changed her mind.After six years of building Arts to Hearts Project and interviewing more than 200 artists, curators, gallerists, and art fair founders, she has come to say something out loud: she was completely wrong. In this episode of Season 6 of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka walks listeners through the evidence that changed her mind and the one pattern she keeps seeing on repeat in every person who has built something real in the creative world. She also shares the hardest part of her own story pulling herself together to show up for this podcast and this community in the weeks after losing her mom in 2021 and why those days ended up mattering more than she understood at the time.The episode explores:Why 90 percent of the successful people she has interviewed came from no privilege at allThe real reason some artists' careers suddenly "compound" after years of nothingWhy commitment to one direction beats waiting to find the perfect oneHow a simple collage series she emailed outsold within three daysThe two kinds of people who see a problem and which one actually builds a careerWhat she would say to anyone sitting in a corner right now thinking this isn't for themThis conversation feels less like career advice and more like an honest reminder that meaningful creative work is usually built slowly, quietly, and long before anybody else notices it.If you have ever felt behind, late, small, or unqualified for the life you want this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you were waiting for.

We've all been there. You hear your kid use a four-letter word for the first time. Or belittle someone else. Do your kids understand the power of their words? In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how often our kids use words without thinking about the consequences and what dads can do to shape kids' language. Why This MattersThe words we use shape relationships, build trust, and influence how kids see themselves and others.Key TakeawaysKids learn the power of language primarily by listening to the adults around them.Compliments and encouragement often have a longer-lasting impact than we realize.A child's language often reveals deeper heart issues, influences, or emotional struggles.Parents should pay attention to the influences shaping their kids' communication, including friends, music, movies, and online content.Practical Tips for Dads1.    Model the language you want your kids to use.Praise your spouse, encourage others openly, and speak respectfully even when frustrated.2.    Practice “reverse gossip.”Speak highly of people behind their backs and let your kids hear it regularly.3.    Build gratitude into family rhythms.Use moments like dinner conversations to encourage thankfulness and affirmation.4.    Address hurtful language quickly.Teach kids the difference between joking around and attacking someone's dignity.5.    Talk about the “why” behind words.Ask questions that uncover the heart posture behind the language your kids use.6.    Monitor influences carefully.Pay attention to the friends, media, music, and online content shaping your child's communication habits.7.    Teach honesty as a core family value.Help kids understand that trust is built through consistent truthfulness.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] How Can We Teach Our Kids the Power of Language? Ted frames a conversation about how the words dads model at home shape the way their kids speak for years to come.[00:49] The Words We Wish We Could Take Back: Honest Stories From the Guys BJ, Ted, and Bobby share cringe-worthy moments when their words caused unintended harm.[04:12] The Surprising Power of the Right Word at the Right MomentThe dads reflect on times a well-timed compliment or word of affirmation made a lasting impact on someone.[06:01] Why Kids Already Know 42 Taboo Words by Age Five Ted shares unsettling research about how early children absorb harsh language.[07:23] How to Model the Power of Language at Home Every Day The dads discuss practical ways dads can demonstrate uplifting language in action.[10:17] Reverse Gossip, Doug Compliments, and Other Ways to Build People UpBobby introduces the concept of reverse gossip, Ted shares the Doug Compliment tradition, and BJ explains why passing along praise is one of the most powerful things a dad can do.[13:11] How Careless Words at Home Become Bullying Behavior Everywhere Else Ted and BJ connect the dots between the language kids use with siblings at home and the bullying behavior that shows up at school.[14:48] Cursing, Tone, and What Really Tears People Down BJ offers a nuanced take on cursing, arguing that tone, posture, and dehumanizing language do far more damage than any particular word.[19:01] Why Lying Is the Most Damaging Language of AllThe dads explain why dishonesty is the most common way to destroys trust, and why creating a home where kids feel safe to tell the truth is one of the most important things a dad can do.[21:30] This Week's Pro Move: Ask your kids why they think some kids use curse words.

Write it down. You do not have to do anything with it yet. Just name it.

Why Your Wellness Routine Might Be the Thing Keeping You StuckWe're back — and we're coming in with a question that doesn't get asked enough:Is what you're doing for your health actually helping you?Not in theory. Not because it worked for someone else. But for you, right now, in the body you're living in today.Because here's the truth most wellness culture won't tell you: good intentions don't equal good outcomes. And some of the most dedicated, health-conscious people we work with are stuck — not because they're doing nothing, but because what they're doing isn't matched to what their body actually needs right now.In this episode of Connecting with the Thom's, we're breaking down how to tell the difference between a practice that's building you up and one that's quietly draining you.We explore:How to know if your movement practice is supporting healing or creating more stress on the bodyWalking vs. running — and how to know which one your nervous system can actually handleWhy the type of yoga you're doing matters as much as doing yoga at allThe signs your body gives you when something is helping — and the ones it gives you when it isn'tWhy the same practice can heal one person and deplete anotherHow phase angle and HRV take the guesswork out of knowing what your body is ready forWhy more effort doesn't mean more healing — and what to do insteadThis episode is for you if:You're doing all the things and still not feeling betterYou leave workouts or wellness sessions feeling more exhausted than restoredYou've ever wondered whether your supplements, movement, or practices are actually workingYou want a clear framework for evaluating anything you're doing for your healthThe body is always giving you information. The question is whether you know how to read it.This episode will help you start.

Danielle Amos is the founder of the Mystic Millionaire Movement. You'd expect this conversation to be about money.It's not. It's about the moment you stop letting go of the dream to feel safe."What most people do is let go of the goal in order to feel comfortable." The moment she said it, something in me woke all the way up.Danielle is one of Bob Proctor's top consultants, has helped create over two dozen millionaires, and studied his work so closely that he called her his protégé. And this past year, while navigating a very public separation, she also fell in love with a man she wrote into existence, attribute by attribute, in a journal she kept before she even knew who he was.This is our reunion episode and the first conversation I've recorded from Santa Barbara. We didn't plan what happened here. Somewhere in the middle of it, this became a live coaching session for me, and I think you're going to feel exactly why.Get ready, this one will move through you like a wildfire!In this episodeWhy most people drop the goal the moment the body resists it, and what to do insteadThe real difference between identity and self-image, and why the identity conversation online is missing something criticalThe law of sacrifice, and why leveling up doesn't have to cost you what you loveWhat Danielle would want to say to Bob Proctor today, and where his work needs to go nextHow she wrote her relationship into existence, in three parts, before she knew who he wasWhat it actually looks like to stay in your feminine when life is asking you to carry it allThe live moment in this episode where I recognized my own next big leap mid-conversationWhat the amusement park metaphor gets right about healing, shadow work, and when it's time to get off the rideAbout Danielle AmosDanielle Amos is the founder of the Mystic Millionaire Movement, a success coach, and one of Bob Proctor's top one percent consultants.

This episode of The Neville Goddard Lectures Podcast features the lecture summary read by Lynna K Teer, along with the full original lecture “God's Plan of Salvation” by Neville Goddard.In God's Plan of Salvation, Neville Goddard redefines salvation entirely, removing it from the framework of external religion and placing it within the individual as an inner, predetermined process of awakening. Salvation is not about being saved from sin, punishment, or external forces, it is the awakening of God within man, fulfilling a divine pattern already implanted in consciousness.Neville explains that the plan of salvation is not something man initiates or earns. It is God's plan, unfolding from within, bringing the individual to the realization of their true identity. This unfolding is what Neville calls The Promise; a series of spiritual experiences that reveal man as God the Father.Throughout the lecture, Neville emphasizes that Scripture is not a historical record, but a psychological and prophetic blueprint. Every story, character, and event foreshadows the inner journey of awakening that each individual will experience. Salvation, therefore, is the fulfillment of these scriptural patterns within one's own consciousness.Neville also clarifies that there is nothing man can do to force this awakening. Effort, rituals, and moral striving do not produce salvation. Instead, it unfolds according to divine timing. However, he teaches that understanding The Law, the operation of imagination, prepares consciousness by developing awareness, stability, and control of attention.A central theme in this lecture is that all are destined for salvation. No one is excluded, and no one is lost. The journey may appear different for each individual, but the end is certain: the recognition of oneself as the being spoken of in Scripture.Key themes explored in this lecture include:Salvation as awakening, not rescueScripture as a psychological and prophetic blueprintThe Promise as the fulfillment of God's planThe inevitability of awakening for allThe role of The Law as preparation, not causeNeville reminds listeners that the search for salvation outside of self leads to confusion and delay. The entire plan is already within. When the experiences of The Promise unfold, they confirm the truth of Scripture and reveal that what was once believed to be external has always been internal.This lecture reinforces Neville Goddard's highest teaching: that salvation is the realization of one's true identity as God, and that this realization unfolds according to a divine plan that cannot fail.This podcast is devoted to preserving and sharing Neville Goddard's original lectures in full, allowing listeners to study his teachings exactly as they were delivered.For structured study resources, original lecture archives, and deeper exploration of Neville Goddard's teachings, visit NevilleGoddardOfficial.com.To explore practical application of The Law, listen to The Mindset and Manifesting Podcast.For discussions devoted entirely to The Promise and spiritual awakening, listen to The Journey of Awakening Podcast.

From Casino Dealer to iGaming Exit: What Hustle Actually Looks LikeYou've heard people credit their success to luck. Karolina Pelc doesn't buy it. The founder of BeyondPlay, who built and sold her gaming software startup to FanDuel in 2024, traces every "fortunate" moment back to a decision, a risk, or a leap taken before she felt ready. In this episode, she joins Lee-Ann to talk about building a business in a male-dominated industry, the lessons that only come from failing, and her new book Her Play, which challenges the narrative that success is something that happens to you.About Karolina PelcKarolina Pelc has spent over 20 years in gaming, starting as a casino dealer in Poland before working at London's most prestigious clubs and spending three years on cruise ships. She moved into online gaming as it was emerging, held roles across marketing, product, and business management, and was part of the LeoVegas team during its most exciting growth phase. She went on to found BeyondPlay, a software-as-a-service company specialising in multiplayer and jackpot products, which was acquired by FanDuel in February 2024. She now mentors early-stage founders and has channelled her journey into her debut book, Her Play, which publishes on 9 June in the UK & Europe and on 8th September in the USA & Canada.Talking Points Include:Why luck is a byproduct of motion, not a personality trait — the phrase at the heart of Her Play, and why Karolina developed it in response to a question she kept getting asked after the saleWhat a cruise ship taught her about multiplayer gaming — and why the product idea she eventually built and sold wasn't random at allThe three moments she knew she had outgrown the room — from leaving a cruise ship job without a plan, to founding a startup in a 43-square-metre apartment during COVID lockdownHow failure compounds into advantage — why the jackpot product that got BeyondPlay acquired only existed because the original product wasn't getting traction fast enoughBuilding confidence in a male-dominated industry — Karolina's honest take on gender dynamics in gaming and the startup investment world, and why she sees her experience as a superpower rather than a disadvantageListen to Find Out More About:What Karolina actually took away from her two visits to Necker Island, and how the experience shaped the book and her decision to mentor foundersHow she navigated the identity crisis that came after selling BeyondPlay, and what helped her work out what she wanted to do nextThe specific moment during COVID that convinced her to found the company rather than take a permanent job, despite every rational signal pointing the other wayWhy she believes your past experience is never a liability, and how that thinking connects directly to what affiliate managers do every dayThe five key takeaways Lee-Ann pulls from the conversation — including a fifth one Karolina adds herself, live on micKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[01:38] Karolina's introduction and the story behind HerPlay — from land-based casino dealer to iGaming exec to founder[05:37] "Luck is a byproduct of motion" — where the phrase came from and what it actually means in practice[18:15] The three defining leaps in Karolina's career, and what finally made her take each one[25:00] Necker Island, Richard Branson, and the full-circle moment that launched the book[32:00] Lee-Ann's four-point summary — and Karolina's fifth, which might be the best of allSend me a text with your questions

Jesus once told His disciples that those who believe in Him would do the works He did and even “greater works.” For many Christians, that statement raises immediate questions. How could anyone do greater works than the Son of God who raised the dead and walked on water?In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Jeff and Tiffany walk through John 14:12 and unpack what Jesus meant during the Upper Room discourse. The “greater works” aren't about surpassing Christ. They're about the mission of Christ multiplying through His people as the gospel spreads, hearts are transformed, and the church carries the message of salvation to the world.What We Discussed02:45 The Context of John 14Jesus speaks these words during the Upper Room discourse, only hours before His arrest. His disciples are troubled, confused, and struggling to understand what His departure means.04:10 What Jesus Did Not MeanJesus wasn't promising that every believer would perform miracles that surpass His own. No one exceeds the authority or power of the Son of God.05:30 The Key Phrase in the PassageThe phrase “because I go to the Father” explains the meaning of the greater works. Jesus' ascension leads to the sending of the Holy Spirit and the expansion of the gospel mission.08:30 The Greatest Miracle of AllThe most profound miracle is not walking on water but the transformation of a human heart. Through the gospel, sinners are brought from spiritual death to life.10:30 The Role of Prayer in the MissionJesus connects the greater works to prayer in His name. The risen Christ continues to advance His mission as His people pray according to His will.12:00 Small Acts With Eternal ImpactFaithful witness, loving a neighbor, or sharing the gospel may seem ordinary. Yet these moments often lead to lasting spiritual transformation.14:30 Faithfulness Over FlashinessJesus does not call believers to outdo His miracles. He calls them to participate faithfully in His mission as the gospel spreads across the world.16:00 The Global Expansion of the GospelFrom a small group of disciples in Judea to billions of believers worldwide, the promise of John 14:12 has unfolded across centuries.“Greater works are not about surpassing Christ. They are about the risen Christ multiplying His mission through the faithful witness of His people.” –  Jeff Cranston

Industry Season 4 ends in Paris — and it ends ugly. In Episode 8, “Both, And,” Tender finally collapses, Harper's trade prints a monster profit, and Yasmin makes the coldest pivot of her entire arc.Marisa Abela warned us Yasmin's Season 4 story had a Ghislaine Maxwell-style shadow hanging over it… and the finale shows exactly how that darkness takes shape: divorce papers, fasc-curious power brokers, a dinner party full of bad vibes, and a final choice that makes Yasmin feel less like a mean girl and more like a full-blown monster.Meanwhile, Whitney goes from reptile king to desperate fugitive, Henry gets left holding the bag, and Harper finds out that being right can still feel like losing.

Send us a text letting us know your thoughts on today's episodeWhen we talk about DIY podcasting, the conversation usually gets stuck on money. But the real cost? It often has nothing to do with your bank account. In this episode of Podcasting for Moms, we're digging into the hidden costs of doing it all yourself—the time, energy, momentum, and mental load that quietly pile up behind the scenes.If you've ever felt like your podcast is something you're constantly “catching up on,” or like it's asking more from you than you can realistically give in this season of motherhood and business, this episode is for you. We're reframing what support really means and asking an honest question: is DIY podcasting still serving you or is it slowly costing you more than you realize? In this episode, we cover:The real time cost of DIY podcasting (and why it's never just “a few extra hours”)How podcasting creates invisible mental and emotional laborWhy lost momentum is one of the most expensive costs of allThe hidden business impact of an unsupported podcastA gentle reframe to help you evaluate whether this season still makes senseThis episode isn't about pushing you to outsource—it's about helping you protect your energy, your time, and your ability to keep showing up consistently. In the next episode, I'll walk you through exactly how I support clients one-on-one with podcast strategy and production so you can decide what kind of support feels right for you in this season.

A conqueror, a god, or just a man lost in myth?Alexander the Great: the name conjures images of conquest, charisma, and an empire that stretched from Greece to India. But how much of what we “know” is actually true?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by Dr Stephen Harrison, lecturer in Ancient History at Swansea University and author of Alexander: The Lives and Legacies, to rage against the myths that have defined Alexander for over two thousand years.Stephen dismantles the biggest misconceptions about the Macedonian conqueror — from his supposed divine ambitions and romantic legends to the illusion that historians can truly know what drove him. Together, they explore how unreliable ancient sources, political storytelling, and centuries of retelling have turned Alexander into a mythic figure rather than a historical one.This isn't just another tale of military glory — it's a journey through evidence, propaganda, and how history becomes legend.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

Services Holistic Wealth Coaching Program Resources Our Courses Student Portal My account Membership Holistic Wealth Podcast Why Reconnecting to Self Is the Most Radical Act of The New Year + The Holistic Wealth Retreat  The new year doesn't arrive asking us to become more. It asks us to remember. Yet most people don't cross into a new year feeling whole, clear, or renewed. They arrive depleted, disconnected and running on a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. There’s a global disconnection crisis that’s rarely being talked about. That’s why reconnecting with self is emerging as the most radical—and necessary—act of our time. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast we’re discussing this plus answering some listener questions about the Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth Trail. February is also Black History Month, a very special celebration of Black History. Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book by Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth TrailHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha Blair What is the Global Disconnection Crisis?We live in an era of unprecedented access, convenience, and information—yet human beings are more dysregulated than ever before. Consider this:77% of people globally report chronic stress that directly impacts their physical health60–90% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditionsChronic loneliness increases mortality risk by 26%, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a dayFewer than 10% of people experience sustained nervous-system calm on a regular basis. This means that 90% of people are in a sustained state of nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the majority of humanity is living in fight-or-flight as a baseline state.When people say, “I feel disconnected from myself,” what they are really saying is:“My nervous system has not felt safe enough to come home.”Reconnection is not indulgence. It is biological repair. Topic: Why Reconnecting to Self Is the Most Radical Act of The New Year + The Holistic Wealth Retreat  TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER What Reconnecting With Self Actually MeansReconnection is not a mindset shift. It is not a productivity hack. It is not another item on a wellness checklist. True reconnection restores three broken feedback loops:1. Body → BrainWhen the body feels safe, the mind regains clarity.2. Environment → Nervous SystemYour surroundings directly influence cortisol, inflammation, sleep, and gene expression.3. Time → IdentityWhen time slows, the self re-emerges.This is why people cannot think their way back to themselves.They need place, pace, and presence.Why Place Matters More Than We've Been ToldModern wellness focuses heavily on habits while ignoring something far more powerful: environment.Where you are physically can change how your body functions.This insight is at the heart of the Holistic Wealth Retreat, located along the Holistic Wealth Trail—a first-of-its-kind ecosystem designed not as infrastructure for human repair.Situated on the foothills of the UNESCO world heritage Blue Mountain range, at approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, the retreat exists within a rare microclimate and biodiversity cluster that supports:Improved oxygen efficiencyLower blood pressure trendsDeeper sleep cycles due to natural temperature differentialsReduced cortisol and inflammatory markersThese effects are especially meaningful for individuals managing stress related conditions, arthritis, diabetes, cancer recovery, autoimmune conditions, and chronic stress—not as cures, but as biological support systems.No forced programming.No performative wellness.No constant stimulation.Just an environment intentionally designed to let the nervous system stand down.Guests often say the same thing:“I didn't realize how far from myself I had drifted until I arrived.”So far, we’ve welcomed guests from the United States, Canada, the UK, and across Europe. April is a very special time at the Holistic Wealth Retreat, as we celebrate Global Holistic Wealth Month and Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th. Private Chef Services and Healing Healing does not happen in isolation from nourishment. Private chef services at the Holistic Wealth Retreat are available by request and are designed around:Blood sugar stabilityAnti-inflammatory principlesCultural nourishmentFood is not treated as fuel alone, but as memory, medicine, and healing. This matters, because regulation does not come from discipline. It comes from feeling cared for.Why This Is HistoryThe Holistic Wealth Retreat is not an isolated destination. It is part of something larger. The Holistic Wealth Trail represents the very first known retreat-based ecosystem intentionally designed to integrate rest, place, legacy, and long-term human wealth—not just financial wealth. Its the first of its kind and longest Holistic Trail in Jamaica and the world and spans the Island. To date:The Holistic Wealth movement has reached over 300 million people globallyIts frameworks have been referenced in international media, academic discussions, and policy conversationsPhysical spaces now exist where people can experience what was once only conceptualHistory rarely announces itself loudly at the beginning. It starts quietly, with intention, long before the world catches up.The Mission: 1 Billion With Holistic WealthThe mission is simple—and ambitious to reach 1 billion people with Holistic Wealth.Not through hustle culture. Not through burnout disguised as success. Not through systems that extract more than they give but through a redefinition of wealth itself—one that includes:Nervous-system healthEnvironmental safetyTime abundanceLegacy and intergenerational repairHolistic Wealth asks a different question than the world has been asking:What if success didn't cost us our bodies, our peace, or our humanity?The InvitationIf this new year feels different— If you feel less interested in becoming more and more interested in belonging to yourself again—that is not regression.It is wisdom. Reconnection is not a retreat from life. It is a return to it. And this return—to self, to place, to wholeness—is how history quietly changes.  What You Will Learn Why the New Year Is the Most Fragile Time of AllThe first quarter of the New Year from January to March is often framed as a season of acceleration—goals, resolutions, productivity, but physiologically, the new year is one of the most vulnerable times for the human body:Cortisol levels spike after prolonged holiday stressBlood sugar instability increasesInflammation markers riseEmotional processing catches up after months of suppressionThis is why so many people feel unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally raw in the early months of the year.The body is not asking for more productivity hacks and optimization. It is asking for re-anchoring.

Disney is expensive. Everyone knows that.But there's a difference between Disney being expensive and you accidentally lighting your wallet on fire because you followed bad advice.In this episode, Scott and Candice tackle the real financial mistakes guests make at Walt Disney World and Disneyland—not from a place of judgment, but from experience, observation, and plenty of hard-earned lessons.Candice draws on her work as a travel professional to share what she consistently sees cost people real money, while Scott brings the skepticism, humor, and occasional Gen X side-eye to the conversation.This isn't about shame. It's about smarter choices, better planning, and making sure your Disney money actually buys you joy instead of regret.In this episode, we discuss:Why lack of planning is often the most expensive mistake of allThe hidden cost of not understanding dining reservations and cancellation policiesHow park hopper tickets frequently get overbought and underusedWhen staying off-property can actually cost more than staying on Disney propertyTransportation confusion that leads to unnecessary Uber, Minnie Van, and time costsSocial media pressure and the myth that you have to “do everything”Food FOMO and why ordering for Instagram instead of hunger gets expensive fastThe truth about overhyped dining experiencesEmotional support Loungeflys, impulse souvenir regret, and popcorn bucket realitiesWhy trying to do everything leads to disappointment—even on expensive tripsHow a simple strategy (4–5 priorities per park) can radically improve your experienceA practical budgeting tip for festivals: gift cards instead of open-ended credit cardsThe core takeaway:You don't need to experience Disney the most expensive way.You need to experience Disney the most intentional way.Because the biggest mistake of all?Spending thousands of dollars and coming home with more frustration than magic.

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil where Asian and African elephants relocated from across South America live their best lives.Website: https://globalelephants.org/Donate: Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Monday Minute, part of our new series on The Independent Dealer Podcast, brought to you by our sponsor, Podium.The Monday Minute is your quick weekly reset. It's designed to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention. Think of this as the mindset. The Sunday newsletter is the roadmap.This week, Jeff breaks down one of the most important decisions you'll make as a dealer: choosing the right dealership model.Retail, Buy Here Pay Here, Lease Here Pay Here. There's no single “best” option. The right model depends on your market, your capital, your risk tolerance, and even the season of life you're in.

In this episode of Nashville Restaurant Radio, I sit down with Stephanie Styll, owner of Killjoy, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about alcohol, behavior, and why more people are choosing to step away from drinking.Stephanie and I both bring a unique perspective to this conversation — I've been alcohol-free for over six years, and Stephanie for five. That lived experience allows us to dig deeper into the why behind shifting drinking habits, beyond trends or challenges like Dry January.We talk about the science and psychology of drinking, how alcohol affects mood, sleep, anxiety, and performance, and why more people are re-evaluating their relationship with it. We also explore how these changes are showing up in restaurants and bars, and what it means for hospitality operators who want to meet guests where they are.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on something we all feel but rarely talk about: Why does so much of what we see online — protests, trends, “viral” moments, political messages — feel engineered?And more importantly… Where's the line between honest persuasion and outright manipulation?Kyle breaks down the gray area between influence and orchestration, exploring questions like:What we cover in this episode:Why most public messaging (left, right, corporate, activist) is coordinatedHow “organic” viral moments often aren't organic at allThe blurry boundary between influence, strategy, and manipulationHow social media algorithms amplify emotion — not truthWhy transparency matters more than everThe ethics of engineering a message, even if the message itself is trueHow orchestrated narratives shape our culture without us realizing itKyle also shares:Research on political communicationStudies on influencer persuasionData on media trust and social media viralityReal examples of modern messaging tactics (without naming groups or pointing fingers)The big question we leave you with:“If a message is true… but engineered… does it change how you feel about it?”This episode is all about curiosity, not conclusions — and invites listeners to think deeply about the media ecosystem we live in, and how it shapes what we believe.Links: MIT Sloan research on misinformation spreading faster than truth  Study: Shares without clicks on Facebook and social platforms  UNESCO influencer fact checking study  KFF misinformation poll snapshot Social Media:Insta/X: kyleTHEhortonYoutube: KyletalkssTiktok: KyleTalkssIntro: Head In The Clouds by Matthew MorelockOutro: Surfaces Type Beat - Jellyfish BeatsSupport the show

Life is tender and messy and miraculous all at once. In this solo episode, Emily invites you into a reflection on the beautiful, brutal art of holding it all—the grief and the gratitude, the darkness and the light, the exhaustion and the quiet magic of simply being alive.Fresh off a transformative retreat and deep in the waves of pregnancy, she opens up about what it means to sit in discomfort without needing to fix it, to honor both the shadows and the blessings, and to find holiness in the wholeness of being human. This is an episode about slowing down enough to feel it all—to remember that life itself is the occasion, not something to earn once everything feels perfect.Emily explores the tension between what's hard and what's holy, sharing personal stories of grief, rage, beauty, and creativity. She reflects on the conditioning that teaches women to smile through pain, the ways we hide behind optimism, and the freedom that comes when we finally allow ourselves to be seen in every shade of our truth.This conversation is an offering—a reminder that your presence, your essence, and your being are enough. You don't have to rush through this season or mask the hard parts. You get to hold the darkness, create the magic, and call it all sacred.In this episode, I explore:The beautiful and brutal truth of being fully alive — learning to hold both joy and grief, light and shadow, beauty and chaos as sacred parts of the human experienceThe power of sitting in discomfort without bypassing it, fixing it, or rushing it, and how this practice deepens emotional intelligence, presence, and embodimentHow pregnancy, physical limitations, and seasons of surrender can become portals for personal growth, compassion, and feminine wisdomThe conditioning that teaches women to “be fine,” to smile through pain, and to disconnect from their truth, and how to reclaim your wholeness by allowing yourself to feel it allThe sacred work of shadow integration and self-trust—how to hold rage, grief, and sadness without shame and see them as gateways to authenticity and powerThe healing energy of sisterhood, nurturance, and creativity, and how gathering in safe, intentional spaces reminds us that we were never meant to do life aloneWhat it means to live from wholeness instead of chasing it—remembering that your worth isn't earned through productivity, perfection, or performanceHow to cultivate intentionality and ritual in everyday life by bringing presence, beauty, and creativity into the small, ordinary momentsWhy living an aligned, soul-led life is both mystical and mundane, and how to honor your humanity as deeply as your divinityA gentle reminder that life itself is the occasion—an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and celebrate the sacredness of being here nowBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 119 | How to Create...

In this message, Isaac Wheeler invites us to rediscover Jesus as not just Savior, but Teacher—the kind of teacher who shapes how we live every day, not just what we believe about eternity.Drawing from personal stories, cultural insight, and Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 and 16, Isaac explores what it means to apprentice under Jesus. He contrasts modern ideas of education and independence with the deeply relational and practical teaching style of Jesus—a teacher for everyone, for our real lives, and one who transforms us through practice.Whether you're weary, curious, or simply hungry to grow, this message calls us to take Jesus seriously as our rabbi and guide—and to let his words shape us into people of love, rest, and generosity.Key Themes:What it means to apprentice under JesusJesus as the ultimate teacher—human and divineSpiritual formation as hands-on learningFollowing Jesus as an invitation open to allThe connection between desire and transformationGrace, effort, and the power of practiceNotable Quotes:Reflection Questions:Who has been a teacher that shaped your life, and how?What does it mean for you to see Jesus as your teacher today?What do you want Jesus to do for you?Scripture References:Matthew 11:28–30Matthew 16:24Luke 18:35–43 (Jesus and the blind man)Speaker: Isaac WheelerSeries: North City Church Values – Jesus Leads Us to Apprentice HimHost: JD Larson“The Christian life doesn't happen by accident—it happens by apprenticing under Jesus.”“Grace is not opposed to effort; it's opposed to earning.” —Dallas Willard“Jesus' teaching isn't an escape from reality—it's a better way to live in it.”

In the final instalment of this series, we continue to unpack the confusing timeline of Room 209 - including the controversy around crown witness Brett Howden and the alleged slap and “splits” incidents, leading up to the verdicts and how the country reacted to them. At the end, Kristi shares her personal opinion about what likely happened in that hotel room — and why the verdicts would have remained the same anyway. The difference is in how the judge got there. Thanks for your patience with this deep-dive series and for allowing us the time to give it the attention it deserves!(This final part is long and spans two episodes - Part 5 will be available within 24 hours)We'll also be looking at: Why the court zeroed in on E.M.'s level of intoxication Her supposed motive to fabricate evidenceThe reasons for the judge's ultimate conclusion that E.M.'s evidence was “not credible or reliable”Why - despite saying rape myths and stereotypes would be avoided, the judge's written decision reads like the oppositePublic speculation about why this case went to trial at allThe damaging impact of this trial Content Warning: Graphic details of sexual acts.Please note: this series does not dispute the judge's not guilty verdicts.Our position is that the framing of the evidence in the written decision was unnecessary and damaging, with impact that extends far beyond the trial.More information and resources:WATCH: Team Canada World Junior Trial Verdict w/ Katie Strang | The Steve Dangle Podcast, Youtube, July 29 2025READ: The Hockey Canada trial could have been a reckoning.

Send us a textAlright, friends, let's talk straight: if you're over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart.This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn't hold back. Because here's the truth: what worked in your 20s isn't going to cut it anymore. And no, it's not because you're “broken” or “too old.” It's because most of us are making the same three mistakes that keep us stuck spinning our wheels.We're going deep into why muscle is the closest thing you've got to a fountain of youth and why building it is about so much more than looking jacked in your tank top (although that's a solid perk). From metabolism to brain health to literally not falling on your face in your 70s, this stuff matters.I'll walk you through the three shifts you have to make if you want to get strong, stay healthy, and actually see results from the work you're putting in. Spoiler: it's not about trying harder; it's about finally doing the right things in the right way.So if you've ever thought, “Ugh, I'm working so hard and nothing's happening…” this one's for you. You are stronger than you think. And it's time to prove it.What's Inside:Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 40 (hint: it's way beyond “toning”)The three most common mistakes that keep women stuck and how to fix them once and for allThe truth about protein, carbs, and what your body actually needs to fuel muscle growthReal-life transformations from women who ditched diet culture and finally got strong AFSo let me ask you… what would getting strong mean for you? More confidence in the gym, finally feeling good in your body, or maybe just proving to yourself that it's not “too late”? Whatever it is, I want to hear it. Come hang with me on Instagram and tell me what being strong AF looks like in your world.Mentioned in this episode:Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AFLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!
