Today's Scripture: Hebrews 2:14–18 Sometimes fear doesn't feel like fear. It looks like staying ahead, planning for every possibility, holding people tightly, or never quite letting yourself rest. Hebrews 2 names a deeper fear beneath much of our striving: the fear of loss and death. Today, we'll explore how that fear quietly shapes our lives—and why Jesus frees us to loosen our grip and live more fully. *How fear of loss can disguise itself as responsibility or control *Why avoiding what we fear can actually give it more power *The “smaller deaths” we brace against in everyday life *What Jesus' death and resurrection mean for the things we fear losing *How to loosen your grip without pretending you're not afraid Go Deeper: For more on your Inner Controller check out The Secure Soul Episode 41: Boundaries with Fear and Anxiety Episode 167: Can I Pray My Anxiety Away?

Humans are remarkably bad at predicting how long something will take. Whether it's a home project, a work assignment, or even a quick trip across town, we almost always underestimate the time involved. Psychologists have studied this tendency for decades—and understanding why it happens can help you make better plans, meet more deadlines, and avoid unnecessary frustration. https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/planning-fallacy We tend to think of imagination as something artists, inventors, and children rely on. But imagination is actually one of the most powerful—and overlooked—abilities we all possess. It shapes the decisions you make, the problems you solve, the goals you pursue, and even the life you create. There is fascinating science behind how imagination works, and once you understand it, you can use it far more effectively. My guest is Dr. Cassandra Vieten, clinical psychologist, Director of Research at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at the University of California, San Diego, and author of the book Imagine That: Unlocking the Science of Imagination to Transform the Way You Think, Feel, and Live (https://amzn.to/4bqbZl7) Here is the link to discover your imagination profile: https://imagination.ucsd.edu/profile/ Artificial intelligence can write essays, diagnose diseases, generate stunning images, and defeat the world's best chess players. Yet ask it to perform certain tasks that are effortless for a human child, and it can stumble badly. Why? What exactly makes AI so powerful in some areas—and surprisingly weak in others? Beneath the headlines are some fascinating realities about how AI actually works and where it still falls short. Here to explain it is Toby Walsh, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He is Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New South Wales, Chief Scientist at its AI Institute, and author of The Shortest History of AI: The Six Essential Ideas That Animate It (https://amzn.to/4hCjycc) When a highway lane is closed ahead, should you merge immediately or wait until the very end? Most drivers have strong opinions, but traffic engineers have spent years studying what actually keeps traffic moving. The answer is NOT what many people expect—and understanding it may change the way you drive through every construction zone. https://highways.dot.gov/sites/fhwa.dot.gov/files/FHWA-HRT-23-070.pdf= PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.

The Olympics are supposed to represent something bigger than politics. Athletes from around the world gather in one place, nations compete peacefully, and the entire planet watches. But what happens when the world's greatest sporting spectacle becomes the target of an extraordinary act of terror? In Joe Battaglia's new novel, Beneath the Rings, the Doha 2040 Summer Olympics begin with dreams of gold medals and global unity—and quickly descend into an international nightmare. Twelve Israeli and Lebanese athletes disappear. A shadowy organization called The Obsidian Hand claims responsibility. And then comes the impossible demand: a $500 billion ransom. At the center of the story is veteran journalist Nova Mendelsohn, who finds herself following an ancient Arabic note and an enigmatic local merchant into a conspiracy that stretches from the glittering Olympic Village into the darkest corners of Doha and ultimately into the desert. What begins as a kidnapping becomes something much bigger: a centuries-old grievance threatening to explode into a modern catastrophe. Today, Joe Battaglia joins us to talk about Beneath the Rings, the challenges of writing geopolitical thrillers, the intersection of journalism and fiction, and why the most compelling thrillers often begin with one question.

Kid and El Pres are back in the studio, and Kid isn't exactly arriving with a clear head. A relationship he thought had long-term potential has suddenly gone quiet, leaving him trying to reconcile the comfort of believing he'd found somebody to grow old with against the reality of barely communicating at all. Beneath all the usual Goin' Deep stupidity is something considerably more sincere: the realization that the podcast has always been a place where jokes cover heavier things that don't necessarily get discussed anywhere else. Kid returns from a vintage baseball weekend where the Independents got their asses kicked, the roster looked increasingly aware of its collective age and the team captain missed the festivities after getting sick. The baseball may have been rough, but the friends weekend and general distraction were exactly what Kid needed. That leads into the other major distraction of the week: Foo Fighters in Detroit. Kid and El Pres put the show among the best concerts they've attended, with Kid comparing it against an Eagles show that still holds the championship belt in his personal concert rankings. Queen of the Stone Age gets plenty of love too, along with a tease about an old Josh Homme story involving somebody connected to the show. Then artificial intelligence takes over the studio. Kid starts demonstrating how easily old photographs can now be animated, altered and completely reinvented. An innocent old Goin' Deep studio photo slowly mutates until the original Red Eye looks like he's spent the last decade secretly training for an action movie. That sends the guys into the larger question of whether AI has made fantasy so instantly available that younger people simply aren't impressed by the things that once felt forbidden or exciting. That becomes part of a bigger generational argument. Are younger audiences really less interested in sex scenes? Did growing up with unlimited access to everything fundamentally change what feels provocative? And what happened to the traditional rock star, who once existed in a world without somebody filming every stupid decision from six feet away? El Pres is meanwhile approaching retirement and beginning to imagine life without worrying quite so much about what everybody thinks. Travel enters the picture, including Paris, London, Liverpool, Abbey Road and Ireland, while Kid argues that making those memories with his son could be worth more than anything sitting around the house. There are detours through Buc-ee's chaos, social-media personalities who may or may not resemble AI, old morality films that aged spectacularly badly, Detroit Tigers anxiety, the Dodgers tempting fate, and the strange experience of podcast listeners recognizing Kid away from the microphone and knowing considerably more about his life than expected. And finally, civilization arrives at the question philosophers were apparently too frightened to ask: Why do bangs look like a warning sign? Grok is summoned. Grok is instructed to become less polite. Grok eventually concludes that bangs represent a daily declaration of war against the forehead. That seems scientific enough for this show. Listen in Go Deep

Psalm 11 reminds us that our security is not found in a world that never changes, but in a God who never loses His place, His power, or His authority. Isaiah, Ezekiel, and John each faced times of uncertainty, yet when they looked toward heaven, they discovered the same reassuring truth: the throne was still occupied. The foundations beneath us may shake, but the throne above us never does. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 11:3–4 (NKJV) Visit us at LivingTheWordToday.com #Psalm11 #TrustGod #ChristianEncouragement #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching For more visit LivingTheWordToday.com

In 1971, an off-duty constable walking near an abandoned flint mill beside the River Trent in Burton upon Trent found what he first thought was a piece of cement, until he saw it was part of a human skull. Beneath the earth lay the skeletal remains of a young man, naked, bound hand and foot, and buried in a shallow grave in a kneeling position, with only pink socks and a wedding ring left to suggest he had once belonged somewhere.More than five decades later, he is still known only as “Fred the Head”, a nickname born from the first body part uncovered, not a name anyone who loved him ever gave him. Fingerprints, dental work, facial reconstructions, DNA testing, and possible matches have all failed to restore his identity, making him Staffordshire's oldest unsolved murder victim: a man who was brutally hidden away, but never reported missing by anyone police could find.

intensely over the ancient remains of southern France, where Émile and Chantal stood, marveling at the grandeur of the Roman ruins.Fr: De grandes arches en pierre projetaient des ombres sur le sol

instinct qu'il ne pouvait ignorer, Émile sentit une force attirante émanant d'un passage dissimulé par des buissons.En: But one day, guided by an instinct he couldn't ignore, Émile felt an alluring

devait décider.En: He had to decide.Fr: « Allons-y, Chantal », dit-il, yeux brillants d'excitation.En: "Let's go, Chantal," he said, eyes shining with excitement.Fr: « Mais c'est interdit, Émile... »,

Chantal hocha la tête, indécise mais curieuse.En: Finally, Chantal nodded, undecided but curious.Fr: Ensemble, ils franchirent le mince sentier qui les mena vers une galerie cachée, où de mystérieux symboles parsemaient les murs de pierre humide.En: Together, they ventured onto the narrow path that led them to a hidden gallery, where mysterious symbols dotted the walls of damp stone.Fr: Au centre, un artefact semblait les attendre, brillant faiblement dans la lumière tamisée.En: In the center, an artifact seemed to wait for them, faintly glowing in the dim light.Fr: Émile le prit, et aussitôt, une série de bruits résonnants perturbèrent la tranquillité des lieux.En: Émile took it, and immediately, a series of resounding noises disturbed the tranquility of the place.Fr: Les murs tremblaient, la poussière s'élevait, et ils durent fuir précipitamment, grimpant et trébuchant dans leur hâte.En: The walls trembled, dust rose, and they had to flee hastily, climbing and stumbling in their hurry.Fr: Une arche s'effondra derrière eux, mais ils réussirent à sortir indemnes.En: An arch collapsed behind them, but they managed to escape unharmed.Fr: À l'extérieur, les autorités locales attendaient, alertées par les vibrations souterraines.En: Outside, the local authorities awaited, alerted by the underground vibrations.Fr: L'artefact fut confisqué, emporté pour être étudié plus loin.En: The artifact was confiscated, taken away to be studied further.Fr: Émile se rendit compte de la gravité de leurs actes, prenant à coeur les conseils de Chantal.En: Émile realized the gravity of their actions, taking Chantal's advice to heart.Fr: Il s'excusa, conscient maintenant que chaque exploration devait être menée avec prudence.En: He apologized, now aware that every exploration had to be conducted with caution.Fr: Cependant, l'aventure avait ravivé la flamme de Chantal pour l'écriture.En: However, the adventure had rekindled Chantal's passion for writing.Fr: Elle avait des histoires à raconter, inspirée par leur périple et les secrets des pierres antiques.En: She had stories to tell, inspired by their journey and the secrets of the ancient stones.Fr: L'expérience d'Émile et Chantal devint un récit captivant, relaté dans des journaux et des blogs fascinés par leur audace.En: The experience of Émile and Chantal became a captivating tale, recounted in newspapers

What if the woman you've become is only part of the psychological story? After more than two decades of working with women, I've become increasingly interested in how the roles we learn early in life can become deeply embedded in our adult identities. The capable one. The strong one. The responsible one. The good one. The independent one. Eventually, we can become so good at playing these roles that we stop recognising them as adaptations at all. We simply call them "personality". But there's a deeper question sincere Shadow Works asks of us: What had to be left out in order for you to become this woman? In this episode, I explore the relationship between identity, adaptation and Shadow, including why we can become psychologically invested in the very roles that exhaust us, why our strengths can sometimes become defences, and how the parts we've learned to suppress may contain qualities we now need to reclaim. I'll also bring this into the realities of adult life: relationships, leadership, business, visibility, creativity and the strange moments when the identity that once served us begins to feel increasingly constraining. Sincere Shadow work is about seeing what's been left out. ... and sometimes, that's where the most interesting parts of you begin to emerge. ... Shadow Medicine is my 6-week live experience for women who are ready to go beneath the surface of identity, visibility and self-expression and begin working with the parts of themselves they've learned to keep out of view.

Prepare to be love bombed by a bath bomb. This week, Iman follows her nose into the aggressively fragrant Cult of Lush with the Scam Goddess herself, Laci Mosley (@divalaci) . Beneath the glitter, naked packaging, and promise that an $18 Sleepy Bear can fix the economy, they uncover corporate “family” language, personality based group interviews, mandatory hand washing rituals, limited edition scarcity, alleged union busting, and enough employee horror stories to stain a tub permanently. So light a candle, protect your coworkers, and keep the bathwater out of your eyes. Is Lush a harmless cosmetic revolution, or is something murkier bubbling beneath the surface? One thing's for sure: watch your back, wash your front, and for the love of God, wash your tub.

Jarrett Stephens teaches from Psalm 62 in a message called "When the Ground Beneath You Shakes." Life brings moments that unsettle us: a difficult diagnosis, a broken relationship, a job loss, or prayers that seem to go unanswered. David wrote this Psalm out of his own experience with enemies, distress, and God's apparent silence. Jarrett shows how the Psalms of Jeduthun reveal three common sources of shaky ground and how our typical escapes, numbing, busyness, entertainment, even wealth, cannot hold us steady. Instead, David gives three faithful responses: wait on God in silence, trust Him at all times, and pour out your heart in prayer. Through the moving story of a friend who loved his wife faithfully through dementia and death, we see what it looks like to stand on the Rock when everything else gives way.

Success can look complete on the outside and still feel painfully empty within. Tom Cronin spent years immersed in the high-pressure world of finance, surrounded by money, achievement, pleasure, and external validation. Beneath that success, however, he was struggling with severe anxiety, depression, substance use, and a growing sense that his life was moving further away from who he truly was. In this episode, Tom joins Dr. Dan to share how a personal crisis led him to meditation… and how stillness transformed his relationship with fulfillment, adversity, and himself. Tom is a meditation teacher, transformation coach, author, and the writer and producer of The Portal, a documentary following six people who discover healing and transformation through meditation. He explains why a crisis can become an opportunity for growth, why external achievements rarely create lasting contentment, and how meditation helps us access the peace that already exists within us. Tom and Dr. Dan also explore the difference between taking action for fulfillment and acting from fulfillment. They discuss the higher self, the importance of experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them, and how greater self-awareness can create more compassionate families, communities, and leaders. Crisis can become a catalyst for growth. Painful experiences may create opportunities for greater awareness, healing, and personal evolution. External success cannot guarantee inner fulfillment. Money, recognition, possessions, and achievement may provide temporary pleasure, but they rarely create lasting peace. Meditation helps us act from fulfillment. When our actions begin from peace and wholeness, we become less dependent on outcomes to determine how we feel. Difficult emotions are part of being human. Rather than numbing, avoiding, or spiritually bypassing uncomfortable feelings, we can learn to witness and experience them with awareness. Going inward strengthens our connection to others. Recognizing our shared humanity can inspire greater compassion, kindness, leadership, and care for the world around us. Small commitments to stillness can create meaningful change. Two 20-minute meditation sessions can begin shifting how we respond to stress, uncertainty, and daily life. For more information visit TomCronin.com and follow @tomcronin on Instagram.

Psychologist and educator Fitzhugh Dodson once wrote, “Without goals and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” Goals matter, but they accomplish little without a thoughtful plan. And for Christians, that plan should involve more than increasing net worth, reaching retirement, or achieving financial independence. It should help us consider how God may be inviting us to use our time, abilities, and resources for His purposes. Ron Anderson, a Certified Kingdom Advisor® and Founder of Plan A Wealth Management in Lincoln, Nebraska, has spent more than 30 years helping people plan their financial futures. Increasingly, however, his work has also focused on something broader: life planning. What Is Life Planning? Traditional financial planning often begins with practical questions: How much should I save? When can I retire? How should I invest? What lifestyle can I afford? Life planning goes beneath those questions to address the deeper motivations behind them. Why do you want to succeed? What contribution do you hope to make? How will you use your time if you reach your financial goals? What unique gifts, experiences, and opportunities has God entrusted to you? “You need to know what your financial goals are,” Anderson explains, “but you also need to ask why you want to be successful. If you are financially on track, what will you do with your time and your life to make the contribution God has placed you here to make?” Life planning does not replace financial planning. It gives financial planning a greater purpose. Begin With the Deeper “Why” Financial decisions are often only the visible part of a much larger picture. Financial teacher Ron Blue has compared this to an iceberg. The decisions above the waterline—saving, spending, investing, and giving—represent only a small portion of our financial lives. Beneath the surface are our beliefs, priorities, values, fears, and faith. That is why a meaningful plan must begin with more than numbers. It requires honest reflection: What do I believe God has entrusted to me? What relationships and responsibilities deserve my attention? What needs or opportunities has God placed before me? What would faithfulness look like in this season? How might my financial choices help me become more available to serve? These questions may not produce immediate or easy answers. But asking them can help us move from simply accumulating resources to managing them with intention. Creating the Freedom to Say Yes A financial planner can play an important role in life planning by helping someone establish a reasonable lifestyle, prepare for future needs, and create financial margin. That margin can provide the freedom to respond when God redirects our plans. “If God nudges your heart to do something different with your time, energy, or occupation,” Anderson says, “you want to have the flexibility to say, ‘Yes, Lord, I will follow,' rather than, ‘I cannot afford to do that.'” This is one reason defining “enough” can be so important. Without a clear sense of enough, lifestyle expenses can continue rising alongside income. More money leads to more spending, which can make us increasingly dependent on maintaining a certain salary or standard of living. A reasonable lifestyle is not about deprivation. It is about creating the capacity to give generously, pursue meaningful work, care for others, and remain responsive to God's direction. The Value of Wise Counsel Life planning can be difficult to do alone. Our thoughts may feel clear internally but become more complicated when we attempt to put them into words. A trusted financial advisor, pastor, mentor, or mature friend can provide a place to process those questions honestly. Talking through your goals can reveal inconsistencies, clarify priorities, and expose assumptions you may not have recognized. Wise counsel can also challenge you when your financial plan and your stated values do not align. The goal is not for someone else to determine God's will for your life. Rather, wise counsel can help you think carefully, pray faithfully, and make decisions with greater clarity. What Scripture Says About Planning Your Life Ephesians 5:15–17 offers an important foundation for life planning: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Scripture calls us to live intentionally. Our time is limited, and wisdom requires that we pay attention to how we use it. Understanding what the Lord desires involves spending time in His Word, seeking Him in prayer, listening to wise counsel, and honestly examining the opportunities and responsibilities He has placed before us. Life planning should therefore be approached with humility. We make plans, but we acknowledge that God directs our steps. As Proverbs 16:9 says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” The goal is not to create a perfect roadmap for the rest of our lives. It is to become more attentive and available to follow wherever God leads. When Financial Planning Serves a Greater Purpose Anderson has seen clients use life planning to pursue opportunities far beyond a traditional retirement plan. One couple gave a significant financial gift and later traveled overseas, where they helped translate the Bible while supporting their own ministry work. After returning to the United States, they purchased a property in Colorado where people serving in ministry could find much-needed rest. Their financial resources became tools for service, hospitality, and generosity. Not every life plan will involve moving overseas or beginning a ministry. Faithfulness may mean caring for aging parents, mentoring younger believers, volunteering in the community, supporting a local church, spending more time with family, or becoming more generous. The specific expression will differ from person to person. The important question is whether our plans are preparing us merely to become more comfortable—or helping us become more faithful. Planning for a Life of Faithful Stewardship Financial planning asks, “Will I have enough?” Life planning adds another question: “What will I do with what God provides?” Money is not the final destination. It is one of many resources God entrusts to us, along with our time, relationships, experiences, and abilities. A wise plan prepares for future needs, establishes healthy financial boundaries, and creates room for generosity. But most importantly, it helps us remain ready to respond when God presents an opportunity to serve. To learn more about Ron Anderson and Plan A Wealth Management, visit PlanAWM.com. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 75 and legally blind. After helping my daughter with a loan and a car, I expect to have about $5,000 a month available once the car is paid off in seven months. I'm uncomfortable with investing and would rather put that money into savings. Is that a wise approach? I have about $50,000 in consolidated student loans at 6% interest. Is it true that the remaining balance could be forgiven after 20 years? I also give generously to ministries and missionaries. Should I reduce my giving temporarily to pay down the debt faster? I have an indexed annuity with seven years remaining, and I'm charged a liquidity rider fee on each monthly withdrawal. What is that charge, and is there any way to avoid it? A collector is contacting me about a medical bill from 13 to 15 years ago, but they haven't provided documentation, and the hospital says I owe nothing. How long can someone legally pursue an old medical debt, and could they garnish my Social Security benefits?

The third conversation in "The Great AI Unraveling", recorded live with our community on July 10, 2026. Throughout time, humanity has experimented with playing God, and each time we have been humbled by forces larger than ourselves. Many Indigenous Nations consciously chose not to pursue certain technologies, recognizing that not every innovation serves life, and that wisdom lies in understanding the boundaries of nature and those of our human condition. As artificial intelligence promises ever greater efficiency, productivity, and control, we are invited to ask a deeper question: Which problem are we really trying to solve? Beneath the relentless pursuit of more—more knowledge, more power, more convenience—lies a profound inquiry into sufficiency, relationship, and meaning. Guests Dr. Lyla June Johnston (aka Lyla June) is an Indigenous musician, scholar, and community organizer of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) and European lineages. Her messages focus on Indigenous rights, supporting youth, traditional land stewardship practices and healing inter-generational and inter-cultural trauma. She blends her study of Human Ecology at Stanford, graduate work in Indigenous Pedagogy, and the traditional worldview she grew up with to inform her music, perspectives and solutions. Her doctoral research focused on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations shaped large regions of Turtle Island (aka the Americas) to produce abundant food systems for humans and non-humans. Ashley Nicole Leitka comes from the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and the Oglala and Sicangu Lakota nations. She lives on Absentee Shawnee land in so-called Oklahoma and is the Director of the Department of Sovereignty and Self-Determination at Honor the Earth. Kathy Wan Povi Sanchez is a native spirit-rooted social activist, community educator, traditional blackware potter, and fluent Tewa language speaker from the Tewa Pueblo of San Ildefonso in New Mexico. For more than two decades, she has been a guiding force within Tewa Women United, advancing environmental justice, cultural revitalization, healing, and social transformation. A respected elder, teacher, and mentor, Kathy developed the acclaimed Two World Harmony Butterfly Model and Trauma Rocks, innovative frameworks that support cross-cultural understanding and intergenerational healing. Her lifelong work bridges Indigenous wisdom, environmental stewardship, community empowerment, and the protection of cultural and spiritual traditions. Through local, national, and international advocacy, she continues to inspire pathways of healing, resilience, and right relationship with the Earth and one another.

Beneath a football stadium at the University of Chicago on December 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi's team achieved the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction in history—producing just half a watt of power but proving a concept that would reshape the world. Newt traces the Manhattan Project's dual legacy: the atomic bombs that ended World War II, and the nuclear power plants that now generate clean electricity more safely than almost any other energy source, despite enduring public fear. This episode grapples honestly with an invention that carries both extraordinary promise and the shadow of annihilation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares one of the most personal stories he's told on the show: the near-death experience he had during a 2020 stroke, and what it revealed to him about the difference between consciousness and the identity people mistake for themselves. He explains why the awareness he touched in that experience has reshaped not only his understanding of who we are, but the direction of his own work. Jim distinguishes between the "surface identity," the body, the ego, the human story, and the deeper reality of consciousness beneath it. He explains why self-improvement keeps people trapped in an endless cycle of fixing the container, while self-recognition, knowing oneself as awareness rather than the body, is what actually dissolves fear, anxiety, and limitation at the root. Listeners are invited to question what in them remains untouched by circumstance, and to begin recognizing themselves as the awareness beneath the human identity rather than the identity itself. What You'll Discover in This Episode: (00:00) Free will isn't free thinking — Jim reminds listeners they are spiritual beings having a human experience, and that fear and anxiety signal operating from ego rather than soul. (03:50) A near-death experience reframed — Jim describes the stroke that briefly took him out of his body in 2020, and the awareness of "nothingness" he's only now come to understand. (10:30) Surface identity versus deeper reality — Jim explains why self-improvement keeps people chasing a better container, while transformation comes from recognizing consciousness itself. (15:53) Identity creates limitation — Jim shows how identifying as the body means inheriting its fears and limitations, citing people who transcend disability by refusing to identify with it. (19:11) Why Jim stepped away from TCP — Jim opens up about ending his signature coaching program, since fixing the ego container isn't true transformation. (25:30) The question beneath the story — Jim leaves listeners with a simple practice: asking what in them remains untouched by circumstance. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Every fear, worry, and limitation carried in life belongs to the container, not to the self. The body is not who a person is, it is simply what a person lives in. Beneath the human story and the human identity is a deeper awareness, untouched by circumstance and unshaken by the world. Recognizing that awareness, rather than trying to fix or improve the container, is where real transformation begins. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?
