You'll learn about Regina's early years as a young LGBTQIA girl, the abuse she suffered, and the way she protected her heart and soul in the midst of oppression. You'll also learn what it looks like to set boundaries, fight oppression, and find yourself after leaving evangelicalism. This episode is a clarion call to wake up, to care for your body and soul as you recover from evangelical Christianity and all it's oppressive forces.Regina is an author, activist, podcaster, and founder of Romancing Your Soul, an organization that helps people develop lives of love, compassion, and purpose.

In the morning session, Day 2 of CAMPUS INVASION, Pastor Emmanuel Iren taught on "Things to know when preparing for the future."Apostle opened the sermon teaching by saying there must be a balance of wisdom and power in preparing for the future. He used his life as a critical example of a strong manifestation of the wisdom of God.He further stated that there are things we must learn and do early in preparing for the future.The first point discussed was to MAKE RELATIONSHIP CHOICES BRILLIANTLY.Apostle made us understand that there are things that are accrued to us not by intelligence but by relationships. He added that if one is poor with relationships, one will hinder the move of God in one's life. The spirit and power to discern has been given to men, and thus, we must build the right and healthy relationship. An example examined was Abraham, who was hospitable to the angels of his blessings. Luke 24:28Apostle further admonished us to be of good behaviour and be hospitable. He emphasized that there are many encounters one would miss if one is not hospitable.He added that some angelic encounters are provoked by hospitality, not only by praying and fasting. He said that the world thrives on relationships and thus, we should not treat people less and we should not be arrogant.In addition, Apostle spoke on three levels of relationship that we must be conscious about

This episode is raw, real, and one I created for me — and maybe for you too if you're in a season of big decisions, cracked-open hearts, and brave choices that shift everything. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on the part of manifestation we don't talk about enough — the part that's not on Pinterest. Because sometimes, manifestation isn't sparkly. It's messy. Gritty. Even heartbreaking. But it's exactly what your soul needs to evolve. I share the quantum leap activation that led me to make one of the most aligned, emotional decisions of my life — and how this set off a chain reaction of clarity, courage, and overflow. Plus, I walk you through the three energetic themes showing up in the Make It Happen community right now — including what to do if you're in the messy middle of a manifestation. We're also opening the doors to the Wildly Wealthy Woman Manifestation Course, and it couldn't be better timing. This course is all about calling in your next-level reality from alignment, embodiment, and deep truth — not force. Whether you're on the verge of your next chapter or smack dab in the middle of releasing what's no longer aligned — this episode will hold you, activate you, and guide you forward.

Partial remains of two Indigenous women were found at the Prairie Green Landfill near Winnipeg earlier this month, in a search the victim's families pressured all levels of government to undertake for years. Manitoba's Minister of Families, Nahanni Fontaine, says the commitment to bringing their loved ones home is a testament to the families' strength and dedication. But “savage levels of violence” against Indigenous women and girls persist across Canada, she adds.

In this episode of Daily Creative, we share insights from my recent (grueling, yet rewarding) speaking tour across the United States, where I delivered nine keynote presentations in just 14 days. My travel provided me with valuable lessons and inspiration, captured as quick sketches and observations in my notebook. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain to discuss two powerful moments from my recent travels that challenged my thinking and revealed profound insights about creativity and leadership.The first moment comes from a Q&A session following a keynote about The Brave Habit. A client's story about teaching his daughter the importance of bravery and wise decision-making led to an insightful takeaway on agency and optimism. The story of a man repeatedly falling into a hole but eventually deciding to take a different street, inspired us to consider how often we fail to fill the holes in our lives and how an optimistic vision and a sense of agency can prevent repeated mistakes.The second moment of discovery happened unexpectedly during an Uber ride in Houston. Despite exhaustion, a casual conversation with my driver unearthed his aspiration to write. This experience reminded me that meaningful contributions often occur in small, seemingly insignificant moments. Sometimes, our impact on others happens in private, when we choose to be present.Key Learnings from the Episode:Documenting meaningful moments and insights during travels can fuel inspiration and creativity.Bravery often requires an optimistic vision and a sense of agency to embrace challenges and prevent repeated mistakes.Small, everyday interactions can lead to significant inspiration and encouragement for others.Consistency over perfection is vital in achieving creative goals, such as writing a book.Embracing little moments of engagement can enrich our body of work and contribute to the greater good.Get full interviews and daily content in the Daily Creative app at DailyCreative.appMentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!

“I worked at Levi's for 23 years, worked my way all the way up the ladder from entry-level marketing assistant to brand president.”“I needed to build a factory. And I didn't have two nickels to rub together or a bucket to piss in but I did have a singleness of purpose to course-correct this thing.”“We were very different when we first came out and all the other brands looked exactly the same.”Entrepreneurs don't just start businesses; they start revolutions. Founders are driven by a deep sense of purpose, an almost reckless determination to build something that doesn't yet exist. Unlike traditional CEOs who inherit an established structure, founders have to make every decision, carry every risk, and fight through uncertainty with nothing but conviction. The difference? Founders break the rules to create new ones, while CEOs operate within the system to maximize efficiency.Today's guests prove that true leadership requires courage. From launching brands that challenge industry norms to rebuilding domestic manufacturing from the ground up, these founders have faced rejection, controversy, and even financial ruin to stay true to their mission. They share stories of taking radical risks, navigating cancel culture, and making decisions that CEOs in corporate boardrooms would never dare to make. The lesson? Bravery in business isn't optional—it's the cost of true innovation.Jen Sey: Former Levi's President turned founder of XX-XY Athletics, a brand challenging cultural norms and championing women's sports.Pete Roberts: Founder of Origin USA, a company reviving American manufacturing through relentless grit and self-funded growth.Michelle Watson: Founder of MICHI, redefining activewear for women over 40 by prioritizing longevity, strength, and purpose-driven design.Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

Hello to you listening in Houston, Texas!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga  While I am not a constituent of the 77-year old Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas, I am certainly a Fan Girl! The point isn't whether you agree or not with his intentional decision to tell "47" that he does not have a mandate to take a wrecking ball to Medicaid in an effort to save dollars for his millionaire and billionaire buddies. As if a million or a billion wasn't enough money for any one person. Silly me. It's not about money. It's about rapacious greed. But I digress.Congressman Green stood up, said his peace, walked out of the chamber  with dignity, spoke to reporters about what moved him to speak up for healthcare for the poor in his district and then took his medicine when the House of Representatives censured him. Shame on you! Those among you have behaved in a rude and offensive manner in the chamber and yet was considered proper behavior. Shame on you.CTA: Know what you stand for and what you won't stand for. Wear your values like you wear your sport team's ball cap. Say what you mean and mean what you say in a clear, concise, and confident manner. And when someone models bravery, decency, morality, compassion and more, tell them that they have motivated you to act with bravery, decency, morality, compassion, and more."Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."     You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Have you ever noticed that your proudest moments usually follow your hardest challenges? There's a reason for that. In this eye-opening conversation with Jill Schumann, former Marine Corps officer and leadership expert, we unpack the counterintuitive science showing how discomfort—not comfort—leads to our greatest happiness and fulfillment.Jill demolishes the myth that bravery means fearlessness. Instead, she redefines it as "taking action in the presence of fear for something meaningful to you." This subtle but powerful shift changes everything. Drawing from her military background and master's in applied positive psychology, Jill reveals why our modern obsession with comfort actually diminishes our capacity to live fully.The conversation takes surprising turns as we explore practical strategies you can implement immediately. Learn why "flipping the risk" (focusing on what you'll lose by not acting rather than what might go wrong if you do) can transform decision-making. Discover the power of building a progressive "ladder" of challenges that stretch you just beyond your comfort zone. And find out why having a "brave tribe" of supporters who themselves make you slightly uncomfortable might be your secret weapon for growth.Perhaps most powerfully, Jill shares why viewing obstacles as opportunities rather than barriers can completely shift your life trajectory. "The obstacle is the way" isn't just ancient Stoic philosophy—it's supported by cutting-edge research showing how our character and capabilities develop precisely through difficulty, not despite it.Whether you're facing a major life decision or simply wanting to live with more courage in everyday moments, this conversation offers both the science and practical tools to help you take that brave next step. Because as Jill reminds us, quoting Epictetus: "How long are you going to wait before you demand the best of yourself?"

And that adulthood is knowing when to pull out which piece of paper.”Childhood and parental influence reveal deep insights into a person's adult self.Vivid childhood memories help shape storytelling and personal understanding.“A strong, detailed memory of an experience is an indicator that there's a lot there for you.”Famous people also deal with everyday concerns, which makes them relatable.“They're just looking for a sandwich at lunchtime.”Perspective shifts with age, realizing that many things once thought important aren't.“There's 8 billion people here. It doesn't matter what I say and do.”Embracing the paradox of being both insignificant and uniquely valuable.“Being an adult is holding in one pocket that you are ashes to ashes, dust to dust… and in the other pocket that you are a never-to-be-repeated miracle.”Kelly's father, George Corrigan, was an enthusiastic listener and deeply engaging with others.“The thing you need to know about me is I'm George Corrigan's daughter.”Her father's ability to find something lovable in everyone influenced her deeply.“He wasn't looking for people just like him… he could become engaged in something he knew nothing about.”Kelly Corrigan's TED Talk, "To Love Is to Be Brave"Her mother, Mary Corrigan, was structured, disciplined, and devoted to family. “She went to church every single day.”Passed away six weeks before the interview, leaving a strong legacy.”I felt like I  had been loved and people cared about me. Not excessively, not obsessively, but you know, like I was safe in the world.”Getting the love you needRecognizing bravery in everyday family life and personal struggles.Nick Hornby's experience of receiving a book—that filled him with a sense of pride and recognitionCoaching JV Lacrosse in Piedmont, CA—and seeing the impact of “seeing people” and offering loving recognition—the power of making young girls feel seenParents handling difficult conversations with children require immense courage.“There's so much happening inside every house that's deeply brave and very complex.”Kelly Corrigan's spiritual upbringing—raised Catholic and participated in church traditions but felt distanced from the institution because of patriarchy and abuse scandals“The dominant feeling I had in Catholicism was that there's this superstructure of men who tell you if you're good or bad.”Disillusionment with the Catholic Church following abuse scandals.“My religion is wonder.”Finds spiritual connection through nature, puzzles, painting, and observing small details.“I mean, I can really go crazy on a leaf.”Painting as a practice of attention: “ it slows you way down and you have to focus on something so minute.”How to deal with emotional flooding through physical practices like walkingKelly Corrigan on Thriving—deeply connected to being in service to others.“I probably thrive best when I'm in service to something.”“And then they say, ‘Okay, Kelly, we're ready. Action.' And then it's just me and this other person and the fullness of our attention to one another is thrilling by  virtue of the fact that it's so damn rare. And sometimes when I'm finished, I'm like, there's almost like a romance to it. You know, like where I'm like, I, I love you. I love the experience that we just had.”Clarity and purpose often come in caregiving moments, like her parents' passing.“90 minutes of pure connection.”Pam King's experience of her daughter's hospitalization after a rare infectionKelly describes her experience of cancer in her thirties.Be mindful of what you consume—both media and information.“Junk in, junk out.”Engage in hobbies that disconnect from screens, such as painting and cooking.“Read poetry. Read it out loud.”You should be really careful what you let in your head.“If you're small in the frame, you're just going to move more freely. And if you're big in the frame, if you're the most important thing in your whole life, God help you.”Politics and voting or acting against your own self-interestsKelly Corrigan's conversation with April Lawson on abortionRedefining bravery“And the reward is a full human experience.”The meaning of familyThe experience of selling her childhood home after 55 years and how that raised questions about the meaning of family and connection—“We bought it on July 7, 1969, and it sold on July 7, 2024.”“Will it hold? … Is it durable? … A place of comfort?”“I think most parents would say the biggest project they've ever undertaken was to try to build a family.”“Is this thing that was the most important thing I ever built durable?”The emotional container of homeAn expansive emotional vocabulary“More questions, fewer statements.”Encouraging curiosity in her children as a lifelong tool“Ask questions. Tell  me more. What else? Go on.”“Just ask questions. Nobody's listening. So just be the person who listens. It's like the lowest bar.”Enabling someone to get over themselvesCreating space for another person's life, story, and emotions to unfold“So embrace intellectual humility and just assume that you do not have any relevant information to give them and that your only work is to keep saying, tell me more, what else go  on? And  they'll talk their way into a solution.”“And so it's a little bit of like physiological adjustment. And then it's also this intellectual pause. And it's also a big emotional pause. So like, do your dishes slowly with a scent that you like. … It's like a tiny reset.”Live takeaways from Pam and Kelly“Wonder is cheap and accessible and effective. It's like, free!”Embody wonder into the power of listening.“Part of the reason why Christy Turlington is so beautiful is her posture. So sit up straight.”“500 questions before you marry someone and commit your life to them is not a bad idea.”“Junk in, junk out. Like be careful what you put in your head. Your head is a sacred space. Do not put junk in there. Don't listen to junk. Don't watch junk. Don't read junk. Like, it's sacred. Think of it as like a cathedral. You wouldn't take like a shitty meatball sub and eat it in the backseat of a cathedral. You know what I mean?”“ The fullness of life involves this full cup that is full of joys and sorrows.”“ It only takes one person. It only takes one person to correct for a lot of absence. Doesn't mean it's going to be perfect. It doesn't mean it's going to wipe away every ounce of pain, but one person investing can compensate for a lot that's been missing.”Deep interviews as rare opportunities for pure connection“It's weirdly unusual to have a full hour of pure connection.”Facing fear and hardship as part of the full human experience“A full human experience includes all the emotions at full maximum dosage.”Finding purpose in slowing down and being intentional with habits“Evaluate your diet—not just food, but content, relationships, and daily habits.” About the Thrive CenterLearn more at thethrivecenter.org.Follow us on Instagram @thrivecenterFollow us on X @thrivecenterFollow us on LinkedIn @thethrivecenter About Dr. Pam KingDr. Pam King is Executive Director the Thrive Center and is Peter L.

Margie Warrell: The Courage Gap Margie Warrell is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, leadership coach, and Forbes columnist. With twenty-five years of experience living and working around the world, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome fear and unlock their potential. She is the author of The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action*. Whether it's painting a vision of the future or giving feedback on something that didn't work yesterday, courage is a necessity for leaders. In this episode, Margie and I highlight the way towards just a bit more of it. Key Points Leaders may rise in the ranks because of what they do, but cap themselves because of who they are. The smarter we are, the more our fears work in the background. Beware discounting the future. Fear causes us to value the future less than the present. Reel in fearcasting worst-case scenarios. These can prevent us from seeing the benefits of action. Stop rationalizing inaction and excess caution. An excuse is always there to prevent you from doing that's right and true. Avoid betraying yourself to secure status with others.
