What do you do when life changes in ways you didn't choose—and didn't see coming? In this deeply emotional and intellectually grounding conversation, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, cognitive scientist, former White House advisor, and host of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans, to talk about change, identity, grief, and uncertainty. Maya shares her powerful personal story of being accepted into Juilliard at a young age, only to have her violin career abruptly end due to a devastating injury. From there, we explore how unexpected change threatens our identity, why the human brain craves certainty, and how men, husbands, and fathers can navigate seasons where the future they imagined suddenly disappears. This conversation hit me personally as I opened up about my son preparing to leave for college, and Maya offers language, tools, and clarity for anyone navigating major life transitions. Timeline Summary: [0:00] What happens when life changes and you don't get a vote. [1:28] Introducing Dr. Maya Shankar and the theme of unexpected change. [2:10] Being accepted into Juilliard at age nine and pursuing music at the highest level. [3:05] A career-ending violin injury and the grief that followed. [4:05] How loss threatens not just what we do—but who we are. [7:44] Learning violin by ear and developing passion without perfection. [9:03] A mother's fearlessness and the power of bold action. [11:06] Cold emailing, courage, and creating unexpected opportunities. [13:39] Being bullied as a child and finding safety in family and music. [15:16] Larry reflects on marriage drift and identity shifts. [18:06] Pivoting from academia to public policy and working at the White House. [21:51] The power of defaults and how behavioral science changed public outcomes. [25:17] Why uncertainty is harder on the brain than certainty—even bad certainty. [27:05] The illusion of control and how change shatters it. [27:31] Anchoring identity to why you do things, not just what you do. [29:45] Navigating infertility, loss, and redefining self-worth. [33:11] Why we resist change even when it's necessary for growth. [36:00] Marriage, evolution, and the "end of history illusion." [39:32] How hardship can lead to unexpected personal growth. [45:43] Gratitude as a tool for identity resilience. [48:25] Helping kids navigate change while managing your own emotions. [50:28] The grief of kids leaving home—even when it's a good thing. [54:26] Why we are more resilient than we think. [56:15] The importance of community during seasons of change. [59:19] Maya shares her book, podcast, and where to connect. Five Key Takeaways Change threatens identity as much as circumstance, which is why it feels so destabilizing. The brain prefers certainty—even negative certainty—over uncertainty, making transitions especially stressful. Anchoring identity to your values and motivations creates resilience when roles and plans fall away. We underestimate our ability to adapt and overestimate how painful change will be long-term. Connection, community, and self-reflection are essential tools for navigating major life transitions.

Send us a textWhat if the plan you loved wasn't the path you needed? We share how a postponed church plant, a surprising phone call, and a three-word dream—invest, build, multiply—reshaped our next steps and clarified our mission to help people refocus on Jesus. The journey wasn't tidy. It meant saying yes when comfort said no, moving back when logic said stay, and trusting that surrender would unlock impact we couldn't manufacture.We walk through the nuts and bolts of the vision: why community groups are our engine for discipleship, how sermon-aligned studies create shared growth, and why we're committed to missions giving that stretches our faith. You'll hear a year-in-review snapshot—baptisms, youth momentum, prayer rhythms, block parties, benevolence meals, and partnerships—along with the conviction that our city should feel different because our church exists in it. We talk candidly about building leaders we might one day send and choosing spiritual maturity over passive attendance.Anchoring it all is a challenging look at Matthew 19 and the rich young ruler. The issue isn't money; it's the “this” we refuse to surrender. Everyone has one. We name ours and invite you to name yours, believing Jesus' promise: what's on the other side of surrender is better. As we pray toward expanded youth ministry, breaking ground on a new space, launching recovery support, and multiplying community groups, we keep returning to the same call—less of us, more of him, for the good of our neighbors.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage to let go, and leave a review with the one “this” you're ready to surrender. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.
Get an intimate and grounded perspective on what truly unfolds after sacred and expansive travel. I share how I personally settle, integrate, and embody the energies and activations collected on pilgrimage — not just within myself, but in my family life, work, body, and everyday rhythms.Sacred travel doesn't end the moment you return home.It's an ongoing initiation that flows through your nervous system, your cellular memory, your dreams, and the environment around you. In this episode, I guide you into the art of travel integration — how to anchor transformative journeys, sacred site energies, and frequency upgrades gently, sustainably, and without overwhelm.This is about stepping fully into the role of a living vessel for what you encountered — letting the codes settle, reorganize, and ripple through your life from the inside out.
This episode is about letting go of control, releasing the need to know how, and learning to trust yourself as you move toward what you want.So often we think the answer is doing more.But the real work is asking: What do I need to believe about myself?You can't ask others to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself first. That belief takes practice—especially if you're used to being hard on yourself or pushing through with pressure.In this episode, we talk about:Carrying doubt and uncertainty with you while still taking actionTraining your brain to think differently—on purposeAnchoring into thoughts like “I'm doing it” and “It's possible for me”Shifting from pressure and self-criticism into trust, compassion, and beliefLeaving room for things to unfold in ways you couldn't have plannedWe also talk about honoring how far you've come, having compassion for the old version of you, and choosing a new way forward—one rooted in trust, desire, and impact.If Flight Nursing is your goal, join us inside The Flight Prep Academy.Join The Flight Prep Academy

I just wrapped 6 years of podcasting!!! Episode 350 marks a major milestone for You Are Not Broken: six years, 350 episodes, and a whole lot of growth—personally, professionally, and culturally. In this end-of-year “big winter blowout,” Dr. Kelly Casperson reflects on what 2025 brought, what changed (for better and worse), and why continuing to speak up for women's health still matters more than ever. From world events that shaped the year to personal health wins (yes, including her first colonoscopy), Dr. Casperson shares an honest recap of the moments that mattered. She celebrates big professional milestones—like opening the Casperson Clinic, publishing her second book, winning a podcast award, and helping remove outdated FDA boxed warnings on hormone therapy—while also naming the frustrations, resistance, and misconceptions that persist. This episode also looks ahead: new courses, retreats, sexual health innovations (including a vibrator!), and the continued expansion of education around hormones, sex, and aging. Anchoring it all is a reminder from Theodore Roosevelt's Man in the Arena: progress belongs to those willing to show up, be imperfect, and keep going. Six years and 350 episodes of You Are Not Broken A candid end-of-year reflection on 2025 and the state of the world “Baby's first colonoscopy” and why health screenings matter Travel highlights, including Sydney and the Opera House Publishing a second book and opening the Casperson Clinic Major personal health improvements through strength training and lifestyle changes The book "you are not broken" winning an award and hosting a second annual retreat in Sedona Three separate FDA engagements—and successfully removing outdated boxed warnings on hormone therapy The biggest misconception about FDA changes and how fast (and messy) change can be A frank moment of accountability (and humor) around language and advocacy Updates from the Casperson Clinic, waitlists, and the subscription-based care model Addyi approval for postmenopausal women The future of online education, including upcoming “Summer School” hormone courses Takeaways from male-dominated FDA panels and what they miss What's next: retreats, documentaries, new courses, and new products The top five most-listened-to You Are Not Broken episodes of 2025 Should I Take Hormones? (Ep. 328) How (and Why) to Prescribe Hormones (Ep. 318) GLP-1s with Dr. Salas-Whalen (Ep. 329) Getting Better at Sex – Part One (Ep. 333) Perimenopause Is Real (Ep. 324) New online courses covering testosterone for women, female sex education, GSM, perimenopause, and hormones for longevity A retreat in Whistler (August 2026 — limited spots remaining) The M Factor 2.0: Before the Pause (premieres expected early 2026) A sex education course with Commune launching in 2026 And yes—building a vibrator Dr. Casperson closes with Theodore Roosevelt's Man in the Arena, a reminder that meaningful change doesn't come from critics on the sidelines—it comes from those willing to step into the work, get messy, make mistakes, and keep advocating anyway.

Every school leader drifts, even the strongest ones.Drift is not burnout, not laziness, and not a leadership flaw. It is one of the quietest, most human forces in leadership. And it shows up long before leaders ever realize they're off course.In this powerful episode, Chanie unpacks the two forms of leadership drift, Calm Drift and Chaos Drift, and reveals why both are inevitable, expected, and deeply human. More importantly, she explains the one skill every school leader needs:The ability to return.Because leadership strength isn't measured by how perfectly you stay on track.Leadership strength is your capacity to return to your anchors, your rhythms, your clarity, and your truth.Inside this episode, you'll discover:What Drift Really Is (and What It Isn't)Drift is not burnout — burnout is depletion.Drift is not laziness — laziness is apathy.Drift is the slow, subtle loss of connection to the rhythms that steady you.The Two Types of Drift1. Calm Drift:The most dangerous form — when enrollment is strong, your team is stable, and systems are flowing. This comfort lulls leaders into relaxing their anchors, easing up on rhythms, and slipping into complacency without even noticing.2. Chaos Drift:When overwhelm, grief, or nonstop crisis slowly erode your routines, boundaries, health, and identity. It's not dramatic at first — it's the slow, quiet unraveling of “just one more thing.”Why Drift Happens to Every LeaderBecause leadership is human work.And humans will always drift out of alignment through pressure, success, grief, or comfort.The Path Back: ReturnYou don't need a fresh start, a January reset, another software, or a new checklist.You need to return.Return to the rhythms that keep you anchored.Return to the small practices that restore clarity.Return to the version of you that leads with presence, steadiness, and grounded confidence.Key School Leadership Themes You'll HearWhy systems require perfection — but rhythms allow humanityHow calm seasons can create complacency and driftWhy chaos drift drains your identity slowly and quietlyHow rhythms become your “way home” in every seasonWhy consistency is not perfection — it is the willingness to returnHow your anchors carry you through both storms and successWhy leaders don't need more systems — they need sustainable rhythmsIf you've been feeling off, foggy, tired, or disconnected — this episode will feel like a deep breath and a gentle nudge back to yourself.If today's episode made you realize you've drifted, whether in calm or chaos, start by identifying which part of your school's foundation needs attention. Take the 5 Gear Diagnostic at schoolsofexcellence.com/diagnosticIt's the fastest way to see which gear is sticking and what rhythm to return to next.
Conclude your week with the Weekly Anchor, a soothing, gentle practice designed not to judge, but to notice and celebrate. This session guides you to compassionately review the last seven days, using the lens of Stoic awareness and loving-kindness. We will practice glancing back to identify the moments when you successfully applied the techniques to notice what worked well for you and what you could do differently. I Congratulations on completing another series! I honor you for taking part in this week's series! ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Inner Joy Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I am free." Day 3: Happiness Breath Day 4: Lotus mudra to open your heart Day 5: Fourth Chakra for love and compassion Day 6: Happiness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back for another episode of Scouser Tommies and it's one of those times where it's not comfortable to talk about Liverpool FC, but Liverpool FC is something that really needs talking about. Four points in two games doesn't sound like the end of the world, but given the opposition and the awful run it followed it wasn't exactly world-saving stuff from the Reds. All the worries that were there through the three defeats in a row with 10 goals against are still there. That's one of the biggest worries for Jay and Jim - there isn't a sign of a single tweak to make things better, let alone the raft of changes Arne Slot needs to make to get his side back up to the top. At times like this it is impossible not to make comparisons to dark days from the past, and as Jay explains, for David Brent to be getting a mention on a podcast is a very bad sign, but to have the ghost of Hodgson past even crossing our minds right now it's clear we are in a bad place. The football is dire, the press conference comments are getting more and more delusional, hope is fading fast. Square pegs in round holes, and some of them glued in and unable to be budged no matter how useless they become. Confidence ebbing away, and players with a clear determination to make things better being left out in the cold. The manager's comments on Harvey Elliott, one of those players you could never fault for desire, are a worry in themselves. As Jim and Jay explain, Liverpool is not like other clubs when it comes to changing manager, or head coach if that's what you've called him. It's not a decision to be taken lightly, it should never be a knee-jerk reaction, must never be allowed to get to the point of banners calling for his head or chants telling him where to go. It has to be for the good of the club. But the longer this goes on, the worse it gets for the club, the nearer we get to the kind of banners and chants no Liverpool fan should want to see or hear. This podcast is not taking this situation lightly, but action is needed soon. Liverpool are only within touching distance of the top four because of other people messing up. They won't mess up forever, a decision needs to be taken, and fast. As Roy Hodgson himself once said, "It's like turning a big ship around. It takes time." He was right, but of course he didn't know how to slow it down, let alone stop it and turn it around. Does this one? It seems not, and the longer it takes to bring someone in the worse it will get. If the long term target will take time to acquire then, as discussed by Jim and Jay, maybe it's time to look at someone to fill in for the meantime, someone who can at least find the anchor.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Negotiating is a part of living; we do it all the time. When you walk down a crowded street, you negotiate the path you take. A couple negotiates their relationship before and during marriage. Although you may not realise what's happening, for example, you take out the garbage tonight and I will do the dishes. And of course of the negotiation is one of the skills developed by all savvy property investors and business people. Over the years I've noticed that some people are very good at getting terrific deals. Most others simply get what the other party is willing to give. What's the difference? In my mind, it's that the first group knows how to negotiate. It's actually more than that, they know how to influence and persuade others to do what they would like them to do. So today I'd like to discuss the topic of negotiation, influence and persuasion with Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole. In this conversation, we discuss the essential skills of negotiation, influence, and persuasion, emphasizing that life itself is a series of negotiations. We explore the psychological aspects of negotiation, the importance of emotional detachment, and the power dynamics at play. We also debunk common myths about negotiation, highlights common mistakes, and shares practical tips for becoming a better negotiator. Takeaways · Life is a negotiation, whether in property or personal matters. · Emotional control is key in negotiations. · Building rapport creates trust and facilitates negotiation. · The first offer can set the tone for negotiations. · Many people make the mistake of being too emotional during negotiations. · Preparation is crucial for successful negotiation. · Listening is more important than talking in negotiations. · Understanding psychological biases can improve negotiation outcomes. · Success in negotiation often comes down to mindset and resilience. Chapters 02:16 – Why Life Is One Big Negotiation 05:12 – The Power of Time, Information and Options 08:14 – Emotional Control and Reading People 10:37 – Rapport, Trust and Ethical Influence 13:07 – Myths, Mistakes and Smarter Strategies 16:17 – Anchoring, Biases and Winning the Right Deal Links and Resources: Answer this week's trivia question here - http://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ · Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully.

This week Kristen Boss dives deep into a sneaky and self-sabotaging pattern that shows up in goal-setting—guilt-driven goals. As the end of the year approaches, many people fall into the trap of using shame and guilt to set overcompensating goals, only to end up feeling burned out, unmotivated, and even more disconnected from themselves.Kristen breaks down how guilt-fueled goals are rooted in shame rather than genuine desire, and why they often lead to failure, burnout, and eroded self-trust. She challenges listeners to shift their goal-setting framework from punishment to purpose, offering tangible questions and mindset shifts to help you set kinder, self-honoring goals that actually stick.Plus, Kristen shares personal anecdotes, coaching insights from inside her Sonara Signature membership, and offers a sneak peek into her upcoming 3-Day Challenge: The Success Rewire—designed to help you radically shift how you approach goals in 2026.Key Takeaways:Guilt-driven goals are reactionary and come from shame, not purpose.These goals often ignore your current season, bandwidth, and values.Guilt only creates short-term compliance—not sustainable change.Self-compassion and values-based goals create lasting motivation.Small, kind, consistent goals build self-trust and long-term success.Questions to Reflect On:Is this goal coming from shame or desire?Would I still want this goal if no one was watching?Does this goal feel kind and aligned with my current season of life?Mentioned in This Episode:
When life feels unpredictable and money worries weigh on your mind, this short guided meditation helps you pause, breathe, and find calm within the uncertainty. Through gentle mindfulness and awareness, release what's beyond your control and focus on what's steady: your breath, your presence, and your ability to respond with clarity and peace.
In this episode of The Black Lincoln Collective Podcast, the crew launches straight into a spirited — and predictably chaotic — debate about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. From arguing over which artists deserve a spot to joking about their own BLC Hall of Fame nomination process, Parker, Fred, and Allan turn music history into comedic fuel. Their riffing includes everything from Prince shoutouts to the logic-defying idea that the Hall might benefit from their personal brand of democracy — or lack thereof. Once they've finished disrupting the music industry, the trio pivots into tech news, where they try (and fail) to make sense of modern AI, glitches, and digital chaos. With lines about unexpected problems “probably being AI's fault,” they unravel the mysteries of the tech world using the only method they trust: complete skepticism and even more complete confusion. The episode eventually spirals into a discussion about health foods, which they approach with the same scientific rigor they apply to everything else — none. They question wellness trends, laugh about suspiciously marketed “healthy” snacks, and explore whether anyone actually knows what they're eating. The deeper they go, the more it becomes clear: health food might be the biggest scam of all, right behind canned yams and Hall of Fame voting. Anchoring it all is the absurd and perfectly fitting title, “Jazz Flute and the Turkey Time Machine.” Like always, the conversation zigzags through culture, nonsense, and accidental insight, delivering the signature BLC blend of sharp wit, random tangents, and proudly unfiltered humor. Whether you came for the music commentary, tech confusion, or health food skepticism, this episode serves up a full plate of Collective-style comedy — unpredictable, unpolished, and undeniably fun #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Tweet the Show: https://twitter.com/blcworld Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

What happens when clients don't come back after the first or second session?For supervisors, this pattern is more than a numbers problem. It's a mirror. High early drop-off often reflects gaps in a supervisee's session structure, boundaries, or clinical stance that can (and should) be coached, not shamed. When supervision reframes “ghosting” as actionable data, associates gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to keep clients engaged.The first trap is interrogation disguised as concern. Firing off questions (“What did you do? Why didn't they rebook?”) breeds defensiveness and shuts down learning. A better path starts person-centered: slow the pace, reflect on what you're noticing, and observe the process through short role-plays. That's where parallel process and isomorphism surface, manifesting in over-seriousness that constricts warmth, humor that avoids depth, or family-of-origin patterns that make hard moments feel unsafe. Name the pattern, then coach the skill.Sometimes the fix isn't deep. Rather, it's logistical. Clock placement, session endings, and professional presence matter more than new clinicians realize. Starting late, eating during sessions, or letting intakes feel like interrogations can push conscientious clients to quietly disengage. Supervisors can normalize structure as care: clear openings, visible time cues, and intentional closures that protect the client's hour.Evaluation turns insight into growth. Anchoring remediation in concrete assessments (e.g., SPAI for Level 1 skills, CCSR for Level 2) keeps plans specific and fair. Define target behaviors, practice them on camera or in role-play, and document small wins at each supervision. When supervisors coach like future colleagues (not bosses), associates learn to convert first sessions into second, third, and a full course of meaningful work.In this episode, you'll learn:How to replace rapid-fire questioning with person-centered supervision that reduces defensiveness.Where parallel process and isomorphism show up in early sessions—and how to coach around them.Simple environment and structure fixes (clock, openings/closures, intake framing) that improve retention.How to use SPAI/CCSR-anchored remediation so growth plans are objective, specific, and doable.Ready to turn ghosting into growth?

Todd Caponi, bestselling author of The Transparency Sale and The Four Levers of Negotiation, breaks down the 7 Deadly Negotiation Sins that cost salespeople deals, margins, and trust. If you think discounting accelerates deals, holding price until you “build value” is smart, or trading discounts for case studies is harmless, Todd's about to rewire your negotiation mindset. Learn how to close faster, discount less, and build buyer trust using the same transparent negotiation tactics that world-class sellers use to win more and protect their price integrity. THE 7 DEADLY NEGOTIATION SINS: Waiting to set a price range or expectation: Delaying price discussions kills trust and confuses buyers. Set clear pricing expectations early to establish credibility and value. Believing discounts accelerate deals: Discounts often slow deals by signaling hidden flexibility. Instead, pay customers for mutually valuable timing commitments. Giving away free stuff because you think it doesn't matter: Every concession tells buyers your price isn't final. Align every trade to something meaningful using the Four Levers framework. Paying for case studies with discounts: Buying advocacy erodes authenticity. Earn your case studies through real customer success, not transactional discounts. Creating false certainty when clients ask you to “hold pricing”: Avoid rigid yes/no responses. Use transparent negotiation levers to guide timing and reinforce the value behind each date commitment. Talking about value at the goal line: If you're re-selling value during negotiation, it's too late. Communicate and reinforce value throughout the sales process before the proposal stage. Anchoring high instead of anchoring to truth: In today's transparent market, inflated anchors destroy trust. Stick to honest, consistent pricing—because if the truth won't sell it, don't sell it.

Sunk Cost Fallacy, Verlust-Aversion oder Confirmation Bias: Das menschliche Gehirn hat Mechanismen, denen man nur schwer entkommt. Wegen ihnen schaut man die letzten vier Folgen einer Serie fertig, obwohl sie einen längst nicht mehr interessiert, kündigt längst ungenutzte Abos nicht und trifft auch finanziell ziemlich üble Entscheidungen. Wie neun Millionen Fußballteamchefs wissen, leidet die breite Masse bei vielen Themen an gnadenloser Selbstüberschätzung – so denken etwa 90 Prozent aller Autofahrer, überdurchschnittlich gut zu fahren. Und spätestens im Nachhinein bilden wir uns zuverlässig ein, alles schon vorher gewusst zu haben. Es sind völlig unschuldige und stets unbewusste Effekte, die uns in weiterer Folge aber viel Zeit, Energie und Geld kosten können. Genauso wie unsere Anfälligkeit für "Anchoring", das uns tagtäglich zu Kaufentscheidungen verleiten soll. Die neue Folge von "Besser leben" dreht sich um zehn Denkfehler, die im Vergleich zu den komplexeren Biases der vorletzten Folge nun etwas leichter verdaulich sind – und darum, wie wir ihnen auf die Schliche kommen und uns gegen sie immunisieren.

And there's more — I'll also guide you through a special hypnosis process designed to connect your conscious and unconscious minds, so the path to your goals becomes effortless and natural. This isn't about grinding harder or forcing success. It's about feeling your way into it — knowing exactly what success looks and feels like so you can enjoy every step along the way.

Together, they explore how sales professionals can transform their careers by connecting their work to a higher mission.Elizabeth introduces the concept of an impact map, a tool designed to help salespeople visualize the positive ripple effects of their work and stay grounded in purpose, even in high-pressure environments. The discussion highlights how emotional engagement, authenticity, and meaningful leadership drive both personal fulfillment and business success.KEY TAKEAWAYSSelling with noble purpose means focusing on making a positive impact for customers, not just hitting targets.Meaning and fulfillment at work are created, not found—take ownership of your impact.An impact map helps visualize how your work benefits others beyond just selling products or services.Even in commoditized industries, connecting to your purpose enhances performance and satisfaction.Leaders should link performance metrics to customer outcomes, not just numbers.Anchoring in purpose builds resilience and long-term motivation.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSelling from the heart means knowing who you are and bringing the best version of that to conversations.You don't need some perfectly worded statement… just pick a couple of adjectives you aspire to be most of the time, and roll with that.”It is on the individual to self-lead. That is the biggest predictor of meaning, joy, and opportunities—not the environment..How will this customer be different as a result of doing business with you? That's the game-changing question.

Send us a textThe room wasn't full, but the sound was. As our small congregation sang “It Is Well with My Soul,” the harmonies rose like a river and something sacred brushed the air. That moment sparked a deep dive into the real story behind the hymn, the raw grief that birthed it, and the resilient hope it still offers to anyone standing in the waves.We walk through Horatio Spafford's cascading losses—the Great Chicago Fire, the death of his son, the shipwreck that claimed his four daughters—and how, on a grief-marked voyage, he penned words that neither deny sorrow nor bow to it. From “when sorrows like sea billows roll” to the promise that faith will become sight, we explore why this hymn endures across traditions: it names reality and then anchors the heart in God's unchanging presence. Along the way, we unpack the difference between worldly peace (the storm must stop) and God's peace (I am held in the storm), and we point to Revelation's vision where every tear is wiped away.You'll hear practices for making the hymn your own: naming your pain without comparison, anchoring in scripture and prayer when emotions surge, and rehearsing hope until the refrain takes root. We also share a free journaling guide with prompts to help you reflect, grieve, and lean into God's nearness.

In this episode, I'm talking about something that so many of us struggle with: uncertainty. When answers haven't arrived yet, or when we know what's true but acting on it feels terrifying, our nervous systems crave safety and control. But the in-between isn't a punishment — it's a teacher. I open up about my own discomfort with waiting and how I've learned to anchor into safety inside myself instead of rushing for external clarity. You'll learn why slowing your timeline, grounding into your body, and naming what's true right now can shift the way you experience uncertainty. The in-between may feel shaky, but it's also where growth and truth emerge. You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be. In this episode, I share: How to stop making uncertainty mean something's wrong with you Simple tools to ground yourself in the present moment Why waiting doesn't mean nothing is happening A compassionate perspective on in-between seasons If you're tired of spinning in “not knowing,” I'd love to help you walk through it with strength and support.

This talk explores the simple yet profound practice of using the breath as an anchor for awareness. In a world where distraction and stress pull us in countless directions, the breath is always available as a doorway back into presence. Drawing from the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness of breathing and weaving in reflections from daily life, we'll look at how one conscious breath at a time can ground us, reveal our inner state, help us transform reactivity, and open us to freedom in the present moment. You'll learn how to return to the breath as a reliable home base, how the breath mirrors both body and mind, and how conscious breathing can transform patterns of stress into calm awareness. We'll also explore how the breath reveals impermanence and points us toward liberation. With stories, teachings, and reflections, this talk will offer practical ways to deepen your practice and remind you that awakening is as close as your next breath.
