In this episode, Courage in the Face of Suffering Part 1, we take a deep look at what it means to stand unashamed for Christ even in the midst of trials. Drawing from several Bible verses, we see the courage of Jesus, the call of the believer, and the power of the gospel that cannot be silenced. Suffering is not a sign of defeat—it's often the stage where God's glory shines brightest.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Heart & Science of Leadership Podcast, Dr. Paulie Gavoni sits down with veteran educator Dr. Michael L. Cubbin for a spirited debate on classroom leadership. The conversation was sparked by Cubbin's critique of Paulie's article on establishing expectations during the first week of school, and by his own provocative piece, “Don't Grade Student Work On-Time? Shame on You!”What followed was an honest, challenging dialogue about:Whether classroom systems support or drive teachers awayThe role of values, culture, and reinforcement in shaping student behaviorThe balance between accountability and compassion in teacher expectationsWhy grading and timely feedback remain a flashpoint in educationAt times direct and contentious, this discussion highlights both differences in philosophy and shared concern for improving outcomes for students and teachers. Listeners will hear two strong perspectives that push each other—and the audience—to think more critically about what true classroom leadership looks like.

Günther Anders predicted the exact technological crises we're facing today… but 70 years ago. The uncanny relevance of Anders' thoughts about technology — from the atomic bomb to artificial intelligence — and how it makes us feel what he called “Promethean Shame."

In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: "Okay, so I'm really trying to work on my sex shame, and one thing I cannot get past is fantasizing. Like… every time I start, my brain is either like ‘this is unrealistic,' ‘you should be embarrassed,' or ‘lol you don't even have a partner.' How do I shut all that down so I can actually enjoy it and then, once I do have a fantasy, how do I make it real?" What We Cover in This Episode: Why shame gets in the way of sexual fantasies. We unpack why your brain tells you your desires are “weird” or “wrong” and how to push past that shame. How to reframe “unrealistic” fantasies. Your imagination has no rules. We talk about ways to enjoy sexual fantasies in your head, share them out loud, or scale them for real life. Exploring fantasies without a partner. Solo play is the perfect place to experiment. From touch to toys to creativity, we show you how to make it hot on your own. Why fantasizing isn't cheating when you're in a relationship. We break down why it's totally normal (and even healthy for intimacy) to think about scenarios that don't always include your partner. How to talk to your partner about fantasy. Scripts, conversation starters, and real-world examples for bringing your fantasies into the bedroom. The “reality scale” for fantasies. A framework to help you decide if a fantasy should stay in your head, be shared in conversation, or acted out in bed. Ways to bring fantasies to life solo or partnered. From porn to role play, we share creative ways to turn your ideas into real experiences. ⁠Join our Patreon and access the "Hot Girl Fantasy Guide" (+ so much more bonus content) HERE!

Ever felt secretly relieved when your bid kid went back to school—and then immediately guilty for thinking that? You're not alone. But even as you think, "Thank God they're back in school."—you can feel this sense of guilt, and maybe even shame that you feel so relieved. In this episode, I'm exploring why this sense of relief feels so tangled up with pressure, responsibility, and guilt. Join me to talk about what it means to be the one managing everyone's emotions and productivity, and how that pressure doesn't disappear when our kids get older. I share how perfectionism quietly fuels this mindset, how it makes “doing enough” feel impossible, and why emotional over-responsibility can affect not only us, but how we show up with our teens and college-age kids. You'll learn why letting go is not about caring less—it's about creating emotional safety in your own mind first. If you've ever felt like your peace depends on whether your kid is okay, or if you find yourself constantly overthinking how to support them, this episode is for you. I'll show you what it looks like to parent from trust instead of fear, and how to reset your mindset so you can stop over-functioning and start feeling grounded again.

Dagen McDowell, anchor and analyst on Fox Business Network and co-host of The Bottom Line with Dagen McDowell at 6 PM ET, joined The Guy Benson Show today to dig into Cracker Barrel's ridiculous rebranding attempt, why it failed, and why it made the company look ashamed of its own identity. Dagen also broke down Trump's move to take 10% of Intel federally, warning of the dangers it poses for the future and how it could stifle market innovation and create unfair business practices.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “My teen is so entitled,” and then immediately felt terrible for even thinking it? You're not alone. This episode is part of my series on the thoughts moms parenting teens and adult kids are ashamed they think—and today, we're talking about what's really going on underneath this particular thought. I share a story from a client that might sound a little too familiar—when a small request turns into a big blow-up, and you're left feeling dismissed, disrespected, and totally unappreciated. We'll unpack why these moments feel so painful, and how our emotional response is often tied to what we're making their behavior mean. I also introduce a mindset trap I call emotional outsourcing—the habit of tying our peace of mind to how our teen behaves. You'll learn how this shows up, why it creates so much urgency, and how to step out of it so you can respond with calm, grounded leadership—even when your teen doesn't. And I'll leave you with one powerful question to help you reset the next time this thought shows up.

Sue Smith ends the week with Christina Chough, Spanish teacher and Chair of the modern languages department at Dawson College, and Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada. We have an update for you on the SAQ’s proposed destruction of $300,000 worth of American alcohol. Half of Canadians would be ‘ashamed’ to call Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre their Prime Minister. Former Premier Lucien Bouchard urges Parti Québécois leader to reconsider his promise to hold a referendum. Mayor Valerie Plante said earlier this week that there should be a Minister for homelessness. Some elementary schools are cutting down on homework, or getting rid of it completely. Is this a bad idea? Or a revolutionary move?

Ever found yourself thinking, “I don't know how”—how to connect with your teen, how to let go, or how to figure out what comes next? In this episode, I unpack the thought so many moms of teens and almost empty nesters are ashamed to admit. I explore why not knowing feels so personal, how it fuels anxiety, shame, and overthinking, and what it might look like to stay present—even when you don't have a plan. You'll walk away with: A new perspective on why “I don't know how” feels so heavy—and how it quietly shapes your decisions Real-life examples of how this thought shows up in parenting, purpose, and your relationship with yourself Powerful questions to shift from needing certainty to exploring what's actually possible You've done hard things without knowing how before. So has your teen. What if this next chapter didn't require certainty—just curiosity and a willingness to begin?

Send us a textNothing screams “lifelong dream” like failing your IFT on day one. That's right—72 cones showed up to the hardest pipeline in the world and tripped over the mile-and-a-half run like it was a banana peel. The Ones Ready crew (Peaches, Aaron, and Trent) put on their disappointed dad faces and rip into the excuses, bad prep, and pure clownery. From BMT “downtime” myths to pipeline “optimizations” that may or may not save the Air Force from itself, this is a no-filter roast of what's broken, what's fixable, and why mediocrity isn't an option. Strap in: it's equal parts therapy session, rant, and savage life advice.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, reflects on his insightful conversation with Chris Wang, co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, about the intersection of being queer and having ADHD. This Queer ADHD Short tackles the true power of finding the right words for self-acceptance, why masking exists when spaces feel unsafe, and how breaking someone's image of you isn't your responsibility. ADHD Entrepreneurs will find real talk on identity, language clarity, and the journey to unapologetic self-understanding. If you've ever struggled to put yourself into words or felt out of place, this episode is for you. Tune in—let's get unstuck together.  

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “No one listens to me”? Maybe after your teen ignores your request, brushes off your advice, or doesn't reply to your text. You're not just frustrated—you're hurt. And from this place, you start questioning yourself, wondering if you're doing something wrong, or if you've somehow lost your place in your kid's life. What so many of us also do when we feel unheard and unseen is that we try even harder to be heard. But more effort doesn't always lead to more connection. In this episode, I unpack the hidden layers underneath the thought “No one listens to me.” We'll look at: The emotional weight of being ignored—and why it feels so personal How to shift from trying to get your teen to respond, to showing up with confidence even when they don't Why letting go doesn't mean giving up If you're a mom of a teen or college kid feeling dismissed, unseen, or unsure how to hold boundaries without losing your mind, this episode is for you.

We live in a world in which most people do not want to feel ashamed of anything.  Lawyers grow rich out of the efforts of some to camouflage over their failures and wrongdoing.  But there can be no effective camouflage before God – so we must not be influenced by the attitudes that surround us.We read today how Jesus had a wide audience “the crowds with his disciples” when “he said to them, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.  For whoever would save his life will lose it … what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?  For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” [Mark 8 v.34-37]Those who fail to put God first in their thinking will not know they have forfeited their life, that is their hope of eternal life, until – it is too late!  We must not miss the vital point Jesus makes, “For whoever is ashamed of me … “ Jesus will also “be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father …”The words of Solomon have heart searching parallels with the words of Jesus.  Look at the words he used in his prayer to God as he dedicated the marvellous Temple. We read today of the ark being brought from the Tabernacle and put in “its place in the inner sanctuary of the house (Temple) in the Most Holy Place.” [1 Kings 8 v.6}.“Then Solomon stood before the altar of the L:ORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.” [v.22] There follows a remarkable prayer: it is far more than a prayer of praise.What we need to note most of all are his references to the attitudes of the hearts of those praying – and God's awareness of this.  As “you listen to the plea of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray …” [v.30] “forgive and act and render to each whose heart you know, according to all his ways – for you, you only, know the hearts of all the children of mankind” [v.39] “… if they repent with all their mind and with all their heart” [v.48]In finishing his prayer  he tells the people “The LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers.  May he not leave or forsake us, that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways …” [v.57,58], telling the people, “Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the LORD our God …” [v.61]     Those with such a heart will never feel “ashamed” of confessing their belief and faith. Let us shine as lights in the darkness of this world and in word and deed “may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” [1 Peter 2 v.9]

I'm assuming the instigators of the second Covid Inquiry are deeply disappointed in what is unfolding, in terms of accountability. Inquiry Part 1 was a Labour Government stitch up. It was an exercise in smoke and mirrors. Inquiry Part 2 is a coalition deal driven by ACT and NZ First, and was designed to look into areas not touched on in Part 1: access to vaccines, lock downs, economic damage, and so on. I have argued since the start that we needed an advisorial approach. In other words, we do it like the Brits, who called people to a witness stand and held them accountable. We didn't do that and now we're paying the price. Ardern and Hipkins, along with Robertson, have declined to appear. No kidding. What a surprise. I wonder why? Grant Illingworth KC, who is in charge of the current work, has the power apparently to pull them in. He is choosing not to do so, hence my assumption of disappointment at political party level. The Illingworth justification is the aforementioned operators are cooperating with proceedings. That's not good enough in my book, or indeed anywhere close. Simple question: is there a broad expectation among ordinary, everyday New Zealanders that those who made life-changing calls in a life-changing period of New Zealand owe it to us all to front and be questioned under oath about why they did what they did? Another question: what does it say about the morals and characters of said people, who seek public mandate and public support and approval, that when things get a bit awkward they are nowhere to be seen? Where is the courage of their conviction? Where are their spines and gonads? Can a person like Hipkins, and indeed Verrall, who I also understand is refusing to front, possibly present themselves to the voting public next year with a straight face and ask once again for the power to run the land, having been the same people who in august of the year before ran for the hills when accountability came calling? The rules of engagement were lacking. We were let down. As the head of this with power to do better, Illingworth is letting us down. But nowhere near the level of Ardern, Hipkins, Robertson, and Verrall, who should be ashamed of themselves. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I'm just not a confident person”? Maybe you think it when you try to set a boundary and back down, or when you imagine starting something new in your next chapter but instantly feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I'm unpacking the belief so many moms carry: that they lack confidence. Whether you're parenting teens, facing the uncertainty of the empty nest, or trying to figure out what's next for you—you may be interpreting normal uncertainty and self-doubt as proof that something is wrong with you. It's not. In this episode, we'll talk about: The mindset trap that makes us moms feel like we've lost our confidence. How this trap keeps you stuck in overthinking, second-guessing, and playing small. And why your anxiety isn't a personality flaw—but a signal worth listening to in a new way. This isn't about “becoming” a confident person. It's about understanding how to reclaim your ability to lead your life—on your terms.

Have you ever looked at your teen—ignoring chores, blowing off school, stuck to a screen—and thought, “Why don't they care?” Maybe you've even said: “They're so lazy.” It's not that you want to judge them. It's that you're worried. Worried that they're falling behind. That they don't seem to have drive or direction. That you've somehow missed your window to teach them how to be responsible. In this episode, I'm unpacking the thought “my teen is lazy”—and what's really going on underneath it. You'll learn: Why this thought often leads to disconnection instead of motivation What shifts when you stop trying to fix your teen and start focusing on the influence you do have How to set boundaries and expectations from a place of love—not fear And I'll leave you with one powerful question that can shift the way you approach these moments, and your relationship with your teen. If you've been stuck in the cycle of nagging, resentment, or worry—this episode will help you step into a calmer, more grounded version of yourself.
