Welcome to one of the most highly requested Expanded Podcast Episodes of all time. If you've ever wondered how Lacy manifested this whole TBM thing into existence, this one's for you, cause you're about to hear every step of how this brand came to be in the world. We're starting at the beginning of Lacy's story– and of course at TBM that means we're starting at childhood. You're going to hear the raw, unfiltered challenges and blocks that Lacy navigated throughout to get to this point of authentic life alignment. You're going to hear about the vulnerability that comes with doing something you truly believe in, not putting pressure on your passion to be your main source of income, the people who drop off your path when you start living in true integrity, the constant wrestle with ego, and so much more. If Lacy has helped expand you in any way, shape, or form, this episode is going to take that expansion to the next level. Because she has served as the ultimate expander for so many of us in this community as someone who is living a truly authentic, aligned life, her story is here to tell your subconscious one thing: if she can do it, you can do it.

How do you make a hard decision, and feel good about it?It's easy to get caught up in the things you think you "should" be doing and end up designing a life on someone else's terms.As someone who has completely reinvented her career three times over, I understand the guts it takes to untether yourself from relational,  cultural, and societal expectations so you can choose your authentic path.Still, there's been one spot where I've been tethered for nearly 20 years:  the decision not to have children.As a Midwestern Catholic girl,  making this choice felt shameful. Like I was turning my back on all women everywhere, choosing not to enjoy the full fruits of the experience I'm meant to have. I have long felt like something is wrong with me for not desiring to go that route with my life.This shame kept me in limbo. While knowing I was making a decision that was aligned for me, I held a low grade fever of potential regret. Maybe, someday, I'll regret this. And so, while I knew the right choice, and was continuing to make that choice day-to-day, I kept the door cracked open. Until now. And sure, I'm 40 and the time clock is ticking, which certainly is a forcing mechanism, but my husband and I have finally made the very solid decision that kids are 100% off the table, now and forever. Guess what I feel? F-R-E-E.There was so much internal struggle on this choice, and once I made it, I feel absolute freedom, and peace. The shame I felt around it is gone, because I know the freedom it brought me.You see, the feelings in your body don't lie, and I know to trust this feeling of freedom in my own body. This is the way to peace with your hard decisions. Follow your aligned sensations in your body. What are the feelings that bring you peace? This is where you find authentic alignment, and the world need your truth more than it needs you do things you feel like you "should" be doing.In this episode, I walk you through a very simple exercise to help you align with those feelings so you can begin to make choices from that place.Listen to this episode to hear:How shame around my decision not to have children made me question my worth as a woman The ways we can be shamed by our aligned choices, even if no one is directly saying to you that what you're doing is wrongA short somatic breath practice you can activate when faced with a hard a choiceThis is a Thursday Thread episode where I pull a thread from the previous episode featuring Anna K Morris: How to intentionally craft a life you loveSupport the showGet on the waitlist to join Jen's upcoming membership Brilliant Breathwork!

Today I talk to my favorite musician, John Van Deusen. The Gospel Coalition named John's album “Marathon Daze” the top Christian album of the year for 2022. John has produced music with Judah, John Guerra, Teniella Neda, and many more. If you haven't heard of John, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out his work—start with his devotional album “Every Power Wide Awake,” also known as “I Am Origami 2.” His most recent album is a Christmas album titled “In the Bleak Midwinter.” I just got the vinyl and it is fantastic! John started his music career in the band Lonely Forest, which had good success. But, in an effort to honor God and become more healthy, he began to do solo work. We have a great conversation, complete with eggs and three year olds going to school. We discuss the heart of the artist, creativity, the church, contemporary Christian music, the kinds of movies he'd like to see, and his multiple projects. Learn more at www.johnvandeusen.com. Please support John and his wonderful work. To me, he is a modern David, who lives his faith authentically before the Face of God.  #music, #faith, #christian, #poppunk, #iamorigami, #marathondaze, #johnvandeusen #thegospelcoalition Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/bumperstickerfaith      Find us on Instagram @bumperstickerfaith Won't you please consider becoming part of the BS Crew?

Prepare the Wayback Machine for today's chat with Leah Shearer, who, for all intents and purposes, was one of the first ten volunteers from 2007 who contributed to the birth of Stupid Cancer and the greater young adult cancer movement.The "girl so nice she got cancer twice" Leah—a native of Rochester, NY— found out about my efforts when I guest starred as myself on a TV show called "Side Order of Life" for a scene I wrote based on a real-life young adult cancer meetup. (Back then, we called them "Stupid Cancer Happy Hours.") So, she emailed me, and the rest was history.I hadn't seen her in years, but we've reunited right here in-studio for a nostalgic trip down memory lane about how the sausage was made and what it took to build a global movement from scratch before the Internet, life with dumb phones. At an irreplicable moment in time, everyone dropped their egos and their missions to unite around one cause: Adolescents and Young Adults with cancer deserved better. And we won.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the past decades, we wouldn't consider most professional photos without some touching up or without or with no filters taken on a camera. Going back to the 1800's, photographers and artists would hand-color monochrome photos. This process lasted through mid 19th century. As technology developed, changes could be airbrushed, taking away blemishes, modifying colors and even changing body shapes. The process was done by artists or photographers for magazines and other types of media. Today, this process has been transformed to most anyone who has a phone or computer. Photos with no filters are posted millions of times a day all over the world. But there are many that are also posted with filters that can change hair color, complexions, add makeup and transform a person taking a selfie in their backyard to a remote location around the world. Filters can also greatly distort a photo. This makes us wonder what is really real. Now enter Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) with the ability to generate realistic fake video and other media and life becomes even more complicated in many ways. Here, I want to focus on how living with no filters embraces a genuine and unvarnished approach to various aspects of life, though there should be some boundaries. We will touch on communication, self-expression, decision-making, relationships and personal growth. Full article here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/no-filters

Time to be real! In episode 87 of Overthink, Ellie and David go back and forth about authenticity. They explore its deep roots in existentialist philosophy and Romanticism, and grapple with the paradoxes of being authentic in the era of reality TV, social media, and friendly-branded megacorps. They dive into philosophical critiques of authenticity, and explore how Heidegger's writings on “Eigentlichkeit” (often translated as “authenticity” or “actuality”) stand up today. Is authenticity the same thing as sincerity? Can you be authentic and insincere, or sincere and inauthentic? Who do we try to be authentic for: ourselves or other people? And might drag queens be the greatest example of postmodern authenticity?Check out the episode's extended cut here!Works DiscussedTaylor Carman, "The Concept of Authenticity"Skye Cleary, How to Be AuthenticBrit Dawson, “Buying and selling authenticity: a decade of reality TV”Alessandro Ferrara, The Critique of AuthenticityMartin Heidegger, Being and TimeHans-Georg Moeller and Paul D'Ambrosio, You and Your ProfileLionel Trilling, Sincerity and AuthenticityCharles Taylor, The Ethics of AuthenticityDrag Race Spain S2The BachelorPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail |  Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcastSupport the show

Over the past several years, there has been controversy in many fields of the art world, including literature, film and television. Questions have been posed regarding the appropriateness of authors writing about certain topics, and actors portraying certain characters. For example, is it okay for a White author to write a fictional book about slavery in the United States? Is it okay for a cis male to play a trans male in a movie? At the heart of these questions lies the concepts of cultural appropriation and artistic authenticity. So how do we decide what is acceptable artistry, and what crosses a line, if such a line even does exist in such art forms. Culture writer Rachel Brodsky joins the podcast.

Intimacy with God starts with prayer. Today we take a look at the way Jesus taught us to pray, as well as the ways He taught us NOT to pray. Authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to inviting Jesus into our mess, so it's important that we pray from that place instead of trying to “clean up” our prayers. As we uncover the depth of prayer beyond mere words, I pray this episode blesses you.   This episode is a companion to Episode 16 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll Learn: https://shehears.org Shop: https://shehears.org/resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.    Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
