Send us a textThis week on Organizing with Ease, we're embracing the peaceful energy of May and discovering how to create your very own daily reset zone—a small space in your home that brings comfort, calm, and clarity to your everyday life. Inspired by the phrase “April showers bring May flowers,” this episode invites you to think about what needs to bloom in your own day-to-day routine. Whether you're a busy parent, professional, or simply feeling the weight of daily demands, this is your moment to pause, reflect, and build a space that supports you—mentally and emotionally.  

In this second podcast on Christians and pornography, we take an honest look at how porn quietly wrecks marriages. Pastor Matt breaks down why getting married doesn't fix a porn problem—and how that belief often sets couples up for heartache. We talk about the real consequences: unrealistic sexual expectations, emotional distance, and more. Matt shares hard-earned wisdom from years of counseling: what actually helps, what doesn't, and why real repentance—not just getting caught—is the key to lasting change. We also get practical: from locking down your phone and reshaping your routine to learning how to talk to your spouse and choose the right accountability partner. Book Mentioned in this episode: Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace by Heath Lambert

Send us a textAre you ready to grow the size and health of your youth ministry? Check outGrowYourYouthMinistry.com *** As a youth pastor, do you ever feel like you are becoming just a program director?  This question haunted me early in youth ministry, especially as our youth group grew. What I discovered transformed our approach—program isn't the goal, but rather the vehicle that creates community, which in turn facilitates genuine discipleship and Christ-centered transformation. In this episode, we unpack five practical strategies that have revolutionized our ministry's impact.  Youth ministry should never be measured by attendance numbers or entertainment value. Success is creating communities where students find belonging and discipleship that sustains their faith journey long after graduation.=========

Quote: The mantra is powerful because it begins to drive the mind in a new direction – toward wisdom, strength, and abiding joy -Eknath Easwaran Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Mantras 3:56 The Power of Repetition 8:31 Benefits of Mantras 13:02 Choosing Your Mantra 17:06 Using Mantras in Daily Life 18:35 Invitation to Experiment Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the transformative power of mantra as a tool for healing, inner peace, and overall well-being. Inspired by a recent discussion in our Facebook group about the habits that aid in managing anxiety, I recognized the need to explore the often underappreciated practice of mantra. While meditation is frequently celebrated for its benefits, the concept of mantra deserves special attention for its unique ability to cultivate calm and focus through repetition. Drawing upon the teachings of Eknath Eswaran, a pioneer in the integration of meditation into Western education, I emphasize how mantra—derived from the Sanskrit words for "mind" and "tool"—serves as a method of centering our thoughts and invoking deeper levels of awareness. Eswaran's approach highlights how a mantra can become a living force in our lives, shaping our consciousness and directing us toward peace and love. I share personal reflections on my journey with mantras, including how consistency in practice has profoundly impacted my emotional landscape over the years. #AnxietyRelief #Meditation #Mantra #HealingJourney #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #StressManagement #MentalWellness #SpiritualGrowth #SelfCare #Wellbeing #EknathEswaran #RelaxationTechniques #PersonalDevelopment #EmotionalRegulation #CognitiveHealth #HolisticWellness #Breathwork #YogaNidra #SoundHealing #Affirmations #PositivePsychology #Resilience #TraumaInformed #SomaticPractices #NervousSystemRegulation #Neuroplasticity #Consciousness #Spirituality #EasternPhilosophy #WesternPsychology #ChristianMeditation #BuddhistMeditation #HinduMantras #SufiPractices #Prayer #IntentionSetting #DailyPractice #SelfCompassion #GroundingTechniques #PresentMomentAwareness #MindBodyConnection Learn more about your ad choices.

To Screen or Not To Screen" delves into the complex and deeply personal dilemma of early Alzheimer's disease screening. Imagine a test that could reveal your brain's future, decades before symptoms appear. Would you take it? This episode confronts the anxieties and potential benefits of such knowledge, particularly for those with a family history of dementia. Doctors Andy Lazarus and Alan Rot join host Jen Fink to dissect the realities of early screening. They discuss the limitations of current medical training on dementia, and the potential for false positives. False positives can lead to a psychological burden of a pre-symptomatic diagnosis. They challenge the notion that early detection automatically leads to effective interventio. By questioning the efficacy of current treatments and the influence of pharmaceutical companies, we might deliver better outcomes. They stress lifestyle changes. These are critical. Purpose in life is important. Open talks are needed. Discuss end-of-life care. This episode urges listeners to think. Consider early screening's true value. Prioritize holistic brain health. Take proactive approaches. Our Guests: Dr. Andy Lazris & Dr. Alan Roth Dr. Andy Lazris and Dr. Alan Roth have over 75 years of experience in medicine between them. In their new book, A RETURN TO HEALING, they draw on their expertise in primary care to unravel the complexities of the modern health care system. Through a wealth of patient stories and meticulous research, they dig into the roots of American health care challenges and seek its cure.

This week, we're diving into one of the most spine-tingling true crime meets paranormal tales: the haunting of Daniel McKent and his mysterious doll, Voodoo Mama.  Imagine a house filled with ominous footsteps, a shadowy figure caught by a watchful neighbor, and a voodoo doll with eerie, empty eye sockets. Daniel's tragic death—initially ruled as a suicide—takes a supernatural twist as his spirit begins to cry out for justice. Was this a case of foul play, a cursed artifact, or a desperate ghost trying to solve his own murder? Join us as we explore the strange knocks, ghostly footsteps, and even Daniel's voice breaking through the veil to deliver a haunting message: “Murder. Money. Keep looking.” We'll also dive into the true nature of Voodoo Mama, a doll that might not be as scary as she seems (or is she?), and share some bone-chilling listener tales of Marie Laveau's lingering power. This episode has it all: haunted artifacts, shadowy figures, and the lengths a ghost will go to reveal the truth. And must we not forget our introduction to the new star of our studio: Lady Lactaid (our latest nom de spooky) and our freshly acquired pendulum stands. As we bring these tools into the mix, one pendulum quickly reveals its spectral charm—meet Daniel, the trickster spirit who's as sassy as he is mysterious.

Dr. Emilie Clasgens Wilson got her Naturopathic Doctorate and Master's Degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine in Seattle, WA.  Her professional career includes specialties in mental health, psycho-neuro-endocrinology, and helping women lose weight and balance their hormones naturally. She's fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, and splits time researching the latest scientific reports, meditating and catching up on Abraham Hicks and Dr. Joe Dispenza's work.

Have you ever felt the tug of curiosity towards an approach to mental health that strays from the conventional path? Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Valerie Chavez MD and Ryan Hunter to share their insights on functional medicine's transformative role in mental health care, especially for those touched by congenital heart defects. Together, we unpack the personalized care that functional medicine offers, emphasizing the power of lifestyle changes and stress reduction to unleash the body's remarkable healing abilities. Our conversation reveals how addressing the unique underlying causes of health issues leads to profound improvements in emotional and physical well-being.A brush with the serene world of aromatherapy during our discussion spotlights the soothing properties of essential oils, proving invaluable within the high-tension walls of an ICU. We recall how the scent of chamomile provided a tranquil harbor for anxious parents navigating the stormy seas of a child's hospital stay. Through anecdotes and expert advice, we navigate the practicalities of integrating these calming fragrances into stressful environments, while also honoring the deeply rooted emotional connections our sense of smell can evoke. It's a sensory journey that underscores the link between our olfactory experiences and our mental landscape.As our heartfelt dialogue draws to a close, we explore the interplay between spirituality and mental health. Discover how HeartMath's biofeedback tools bring peace and coherence to both adults and children and delve into the ancient wisdom of the Four Agreements, discussing its potential to shape our mental health practices.

Ever grapple with feelings of shame or guilt? It's an often misunderstood emotional terrain that we're excavating in our enlightening discussion. We're navigating the key differences between these two emotions and their significant impact on self-perception and self-esteem. We unravel the power of guilt as a moral anchor, and reveal the potentially devastating impact of toxic shame. As we delve deeper, we focus on the critical aspect of managing toxic shame. Discover how mindfulness can aid us in challenging our shame-based thoughts and cultivating healthier thinking habits. We emphasize the importance of fostering a support network, and opening up to a friend, partner, or mental health professional about shame and the journey to overcome unprocessed trauma. **********************Book Mentioned in Episode:Gabor Mate: The Myth of Normal**********************DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace the advice you may be receiving from a licensed therapist.This podcast and website represents the opinions of KathyDan Moore, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Grief Coach Jess Lowe, and their guests to the show and website.

The statement "Daddies don't know everything" is a powerful reminder that parents, including fathers, are not infallible and cannot be expected to have all the answers. It acknowledges that there are inherent communication and generational gaps between parents and their children and that children have their own unique interests, preferences, and paths to follow in life. This realization typically dawns on parents as their children grow and start to assert their independence. It becomes evident that children cannot learn everything they need to know solely by watching their parents or by following their parents' guidance. Instead, children need the freedom to explore their own interests and make their own choices. The message encourages parents to expose their children to various experiences, hobbies, and interests, without imposing their own preferences or expectations. By doing so, parents can help their children discover their own passions and talents, fostering individuality and personal growth. Bruce Chamoff, the guest of the podcast episode, embodies this message as a father and as a founder of the World Podcast Network.  In fact, he coined the term podcast network.  His diverse background as a marketing visionary and software developer demonstrates the importance of allowing children to follow their own paths rather than trying to dictate their choices. The podcast episode delves into various aspects of Bruce Chamoff's life, including his approach to podcasting, building authentic connections with audiences, and leaving a lasting legacy. It highlights the value of finding one's own way in life and the power of connecting with others through shared interests and experiences. The episode also mentions the book "The Do It Yourself Guide" by Todd Cochrane, which likely provides valuable insights into the world of podcasting. Overall, the episode and the message "Daddies don't know everything" emphasize the importance of nurturing individuality and allowing children to explore and choose their own paths in life, while also highlighting the significance of authentic connections and leaving a meaningful legacy.

2023's insurance market is bad. Really bad. “As bad as I've ever seen,” says Insurance Office of America's Robert J. Hamilton. He's never seen home and multifamily insurance prices as high as today. But, he has good reason to believe that a better insurance market could be upon us soon, especially as prices continue to ramp up and providers get priced out of the market.  If you're a property owner, there's a good chance your insurance premium increased significantly in price last year and the year before. After several unprecedented natural disasters, states like Texas, Florida, and California have seen carriers massively raise rates or leave their markets entirely. But why now? And how long will this last? Robert walks us through exactly what's caused the higher insurance rates, why so many carriers have given up or died out, and “the beginning of a reset” that could be on the horizon. Andrew Cushman, long-time friend of the show and multifamily investor, gives his seven quick tips on finding a better rate and protecting your property if and when disaster strikes. DO NOT analyze another deal before you watch this episode because, by the time you finish, your new insurance rate could ruin the profit potential.  In This Episode We Cover: The wild 2023 insurance crisis explained and why rates have gone up so dramatically The “capacity crunch” forcing insurance carriers to leave risky markets  What's causing rates to rise and the “reinsurance” problem carriers face  Underwriting your next rental/multifamily and how to properly predict property insurance costs  The safest states/areas to invest in that carriers are flocking to  The “percentage deductible” trap that could bankrupt your deal if you aren't careful  And So Much More!

Well, maybe we'll just have Rob Abasolo AKA Robuilt, YouTube's go-to authority on vacation rental investing, answer this.Rob has had a troubling week to put it lightly.

Nobody likes cold calling. Even just the thought of cold calling is enough to make seasoned real estate investors start to sweat. The waiting, debating, and constant rejection can get to anyone. So why not take the stress out of a tense situation? Why not make cold calling a game? Luke Rotvold decided to do just this. As a new wholesaler, he was used to spending hours on the phone every day. He got so bored that he started playing video games while negotiating with sellers. Surprisingly, it didn't distract him—it made finding deals far easier.Luke severely leveled up his cold calling skills during those eight-hour long Madden marathons, and eventually started making enough money to build his own team. But Luke didn't want to start something that felt like a drag to the workers, employers, and everyone else in between. Instead, Luke built a lifestyle-first business, where everyone wins (and loses) together, and coming to work feels like an escape, not a prison sentence.The results speak for themselves as Luke and his team have been able to crush massive wholesaling, flipping, and investing goals. Luke has made hundreds of thousands on flips, tens of thousands cold calling, and now watches as his cascading cash flow rolls in from his buy and hold investments. He breaks down his four tips to gamify your real estate business so you, and your team, can build wealth together.In This Episode We Cover:Why cold calling is such a difficult skill to master and how making it fun will get your more dealsCreating a company culture that outside employees will be envious ofThe four ways to gamify your real estate investing so you can enjoy getting more doneSharing the wins, and losses, with a team so everyone rises together Incentivizing not only your employees but yourself by building powerful goalsPartnering with those you work with so you can collectively build bigger portfolios And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's Twitter5 Cold Calling Techniques That Really WorkNo. 1 Most Effective Way to Master the Art of Cold CallingWhich Company Culture Cultivates Competency?Book Mentioned in the Show:Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie WareThe Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin SharmaConnect with Luke:Luke's Instagram: @luke_ro_Luke's YouTubeClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-659Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

You've probably seen Flip or Flop before. Even if you're not a home flipper, it's hard to not get sucked into the glitz and glamor of watching Tarek El Moussa and his team rip out old fixtures from the 1950s and replace them with brand new, beautifully designed upgrades. Tarek is one of the most recognized home flippers in the world and has inspired thousands of others to start building wealth through real estate. He's an inspiration to all of us, but how did he get to such a peak point?Tarek wasn't a great flipper right out the gate. He electrocuted and burned himself on his first deal, but that wasn't enough to deter him. Before the great recession, Tarek was living large, making forty-thousand dollars a month in his early twenties. But when the crash came, he had to sell everything and start from scratch. After attending a real estate seminar he caught the flipping bug and realized he needed to invest in real estate full-time.After a successful first flip, he pitched the idea of Flip or Flop to different television networks, with HGTV finally giving him a chance. He describes the first season of Flip or Flop as working eighteen-hour days, constantly stressing, and forcing himself to build a business, not just a side-hustle. This allowed him to delegate by buying more flips and building wealth faster. Funnily enough, his main piece of advice for flippers isn't to try and make more money—it's to start losing it instead.In This Episode We Cover:Tarek's five house flipping tips that anyone can use to successfully start flippingThe single biggest mistake that most flippers (and investors) makeFlipping while filming and how to pitch a TV show as a complete noviceWhy finding real estate deals is the most important thing a house flipper can doKnowing your market and the key metrics to look for when investigating an areaDesigning a renovation that will beat out the comps in your neighborhood And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterEnroll In the BiggerPockets Bootcamps and Get 10% Off Using Code “BOOTCAMP10”Do You Make These 7 Deadly House Flipping Mistakes?Book Mentioned in the Show:Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David GreeneThe Book on Flipping Houses by J ScottConnect with Tarek:Invest with Tarek and His TeamTarek's Instagram: @therealtarekelmoussaClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-653Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
