The bestselling Irish author grew up on a farm set on “50 acres on the side of a hill”. Growing up, she witnessed a harsh, misogynistic country that convinced her she would never marry. Claire shares what she has learned about writing from a litter of newborn piglets.Her works Small Things Like These and Foster have both been made into movies.Claire's stories often take place in the landscape where she grew up — the farms and small towns of Wexford in Southeast Ireland.Claire was the youngest of six children, and when she was born their farmhouse had no running water and few books.Instead, Claire fell in love with horses.As a small child she would go to the wood with her brother, who was a lumberjack.Amongst the chainsaws and workmen, little Claire would drive a harnessed horse from behind, to the roadside, to help clear the heavy trees. And as she grew older, she developed a fierce determination to live life on her own terms.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The extraordinary story of a 13-year-old martyr provides a powerful lens through which we examine modern faith challenges. Writer and Catholic convert Avery Lane joins us to share the remarkable testimony of José Luis Sánchez del Río—"Joselito"—who was tortured and killed during Mexico's Cristero War for refusing to renounce his faith.Avery's own journey from secular humanism to Catholicism frames our exploration of Joselito's story. We trace how this child became a flag bearer for Catholic resistance fighters when the Mexican government implemented anti-Catholic laws in the 1920s. During battle, Joselito demonstrated incredible selflessness by offering his horse to his general, sacrificing his own escape and leading to his capture by government forces.What follows is an account of extraordinary courage. Joselito refused to deny Christ and his final words—"Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Santa Maria de Guadalupe!"—echo through history as a testament to unwavering faith.Read The Full Story Here!   And read Avery's other inspiring work at the "Catholic Exchange"Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!On Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Jack Latest Blog: Living on the Surface, Never Going Deep: Jenny, Jesus, Carl Jung and Bill WSupport the show

"What helped me the most was, leaving home and going out on my own and getting experiences." Jumping into the unknown is rarely comfortable, but it's where true growth happens. Stepping outside our comfort zone reshapes our perspective and how we lead, work, and live. That is true whether it's traveling to a foreign land or saying yes to an intimidating opportunity. After hearing Jody share his whitewater rafting adventure in Chile, it struck me how bravery really is progressive. Every time I took a leap in my own career, the fear was real. Moving countries, taking new positions, even getting fired at one point. But with each jump, I came back stronger, wiser, and more confident in my ability to handle whatever came next. It's amazing how we talk ourselves out of risk because of fear of not knowing or the fear of what others might think. But most people are too busy worrying about their own lives to be focused on ours. Experience is the best teacher. You can read about whitewater rafting all you want, but nothing compares to being pulled under and coming out the other side. Setbacks like getting passed over for a promotion, or losing a job, often become stepping stones to something even better. The more we say yes, the easier it gets. Don't be afraid to trust yourself, and surround yourself with people who support and inspire you. Remember, courage and leadership don't appear all at once. They grow with every brave choice you make. The key is to take that first leap. You never know where it might lead.

What if the thing holding you back isn't fear—but the story you're telling yourself about it? This week on Okay, Now What?, I'm joined by the powerhouse that is Sally Zimney—award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and host of one of the top speaker podcasts in the world—for a real, raw, and laugh-out-loud honest conversation about what bravery really looks like. Spoiler: it's not the absence of fear. It's showing up with it. We unpack: Why “confidence” is overrated and what to build instead The power of gumption (and no, not the Aussie cleaning product kind—though that metaphor is hilariously spot-on) How to “bust your buts” (yes, those buts—like “But I'm not ready…” or “But what if I fail?”) Why cold plunging might be the secret weapon for facing discomfort (seriously) And how to take action even when you're shaking in your boots (or freezing in a tub) This episode is your gentle (and slightly cheeky) kick in the pants to stop hiding with your fears—and start moving toward what you really want. Tune in now and start flexing your bravery muscle—one gumption-powered step at a time. Check out Sally's websites and resources here: https://sallyzimney.com/  Ready to take this work deeper? If you're tired of living on autopilot and want real tools to take back control of your mind, your emotions, and your life—I've got you.

She's not very well known, even though she's in the Bible. But Jochebed…who's heard of her? Go ahead, raise your hands.This great woman deserves a bigger story in our culture, because she modeled what it means to act with bravery, and to value all life.Exodus 2:3 says, “But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.”Jochebed, you see, was the mother of Moses. Knowing that Pharaoh had ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed, she hid her infant son in a basket among the reeds of the Nile. When Pharaoh's daughter found the boy, she felt sorry for him and took him in; and the rest, as they say, is history!It's been said that the love a mother has for her children is the strongest human bond. Long ago, a slave defied the empire and saved her son. He went on to change history. Sometimes we just have to step out in faith and be intentional about courage.Let's pray.Lord, this woman inspires us today. Thank you that the story of this sweet mother, Jochebed, was recorded for us. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What happens inside our brains when the person in charge is willing to take the first risk—­to step into the unknown so the rest of us can try, learn, even fail, in psychological safety? Larry's guest, Jeffrey Sanow, has been running that neurological experiment for three-plus decades… inside the CIA. Welcome to Mindset Playbook, where you're about to meet Jeffrey Sanow: career intelligence officer, 35 years of “need-to-know,” and a walking case study in servant leadership. From briefing presidents to de-briefing field agents, Jeff learned that the quickest way to switch on the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain that innovates under pressure—is simple accessibility: be there, listen hard, and give your people cover while they stretch.

Leaders not only go first, they stand courageous and unmoving to help their people see God's path and step into His blessings.

Together, they explore the creative highs and lows of writing, the unexpected ways astrology shapes personal growth, and how travel fuels Jessie's storytelling. Jessie opens up about her evolution from astrology skeptic to curious believer—and how the zodiac now plays a powerful role in shaping her characters and their choices.

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.

A Manifesto in Stone, Fire, and the Art of ReinventionEurope is not just a place.It's a living myth — carved in marble, scrawled in ink, reborn in rebellion.In this lyrical and story-driven manifesto, Roy Sharples charts the creative and cultural journey of Europe across millennia — from the wisdom of Ancient Greece and the fire of the Enlightenment to the contradictions of the modern Union. Through wars and renaissances, revolutions and resurrections, Europe has endured not by clinging to the past, but by reimagining it.How did Europe's creativity survive empire, war, and collapse?What can its cultural history teach us about resilience and reinvention today?Why is creativity still Europe's greatest force for unity and transformation?From the Celtic edge to the startup cities of tomorrow, this is Europe as you've never heard it — brave, broken, brilliant, and always becoming.Support the showAttitude.

Eric and Grayce recap the legendary climbs and community vibes, and then we welcome special guest Jesse Stol, who ran the 25K completely barefoot. Yep, no shoes, just pure soles and soul.

Send us a textWhat happens when music becomes more than entertainment—when it transforms into an emotional sanctuary during our darkest moments? This episode explores the profound connection between music and our ability to process life's greatest challenges, particularly as we confront mortality and loss.Anthony opens with a raw confession about turning 40 and experiencing the deaths of friends, including one who passed from ALS at just 44 and another who took their own life at 41. These events sparked a deeply personal question: What songs serve as our comfort blankets when life gets heavy? For Anthony, it's Pink Floyds- "Wish you where here"—not for its lyrics, but for the way it builds and progresses, offering emotional release when he needs it most.Trey shares how Pearl Jam's "Off He Goes" has become his conduit for grief, initially connected to memories of his friend Eric, then later helping him process the loss of his friend Jeffrey to brain cancer. This conversation reveals how certain songs accumulate emotional resonance over time, becoming repositories for our deepest feelings and memories.The discussion weaves through analysis of Pearl Jam classics like "Once"—described as the definitive foundation of the band—and "Green Disease," a politically charged track whose critique of greed feels even more relevant today than when it was released. We examine how different drummers throughout Pearl Jam's history have reimagined these songs, breathing new life into familiar compositions.Between wine tasting notes and vinyl recommendations (including passionate debates about The Bravery versus Built to Spill), we explore how music serves as a timeline for our lives. Anthony recounts the overwhelming emotion of hearing My Morning Jacket's "Time Waited" with his daughter after years of struggling to conceive—a perfect example of how music marks our most significant life moments.This episode celebrates the beautiful vulnerability that comes from sharing honest reactions to music without judgment. As Anthony says, "If it doesn't make you feel something, then why are you doing it?" Join us for a heartfelt conversation about how music helps us remain human in the face of life's greatest uncertainties.www.TheTouringFanLive.commedia@TheTouringFanLive.Comwww.facebook.com/TheTouringFanLiveInstagram-@TheTouringFanLiveCopyright The Touring Fan Live 2026

Laura explores the power of taking risks on talent, especially those early in their careers, sharing her thoughts on hiring for mindset and potential over experience, and how being brave enough to back someone others might overlook has led to some of her proudest moments.

The Bravery of Letting Go: A Deep Dive into Self-Forgiveness and Healing   In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis explore one of the most challenging aspects of the healing journey: self-forgiveness. Whether you've acted in ways you're not proud of or internalized blame after betrayal, the burden of shame can keep you tethered to past pain. Together, they unpack why so many individuals—both betrayed partners and those who have acted out—struggle to forgive themselves, even long after change begins. The conversation addresses the role of shame as a perceived protector, the internal dialogue that keeps us stuck, and how self-forgiveness isn't just an emotional release, but a physiological and relational turning point. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), systems theory, trauma research, and recovery work, Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn examine how embracing self-forgiveness leads to renewed self-trust, authentic change, and deeper connection. Listeners are also introduced to somatic and spiritual tools for letting go of self-judgment and are encouraged to explore their capacity to receive love—not just give it. The message is clear: your healing matters, and you are worthy of moving forward. Resources Mentioned: - Internal Family Systems (IFS) – A therapeutic model exploring parts of the self, especially protective parts tied to shame and fear.   - Mark Wolynn – Author of It Didn't Start with You, discussing inherited family trauma and emotional tethering across generations.   - Dr. Joe Dispenza – Work referenced regarding emotional addiction and how familiar patterns of pain can become neurologically ingrained.   - Dr. Kristin Neff – [selfcompassion.org](https://selfcompassion.org), a resource hub for meditations and exercises on self-compassion and self-forgiveness.   - Dr. Carol Dweck – Growth vs. fixed mindset; how change is possible through effort and intentionality.   - Dr. Kevin Skinner –Treating Trauma from Sexual Betrayal, discussing concepts such as the locus of control and how misplaced self-blame limits healing.   - 12-Step Recovery Principles – Concepts of surrender, self-reflection, and spiritual healing in addiction recovery.   - Somatic Exercises for Releasing Shame – Bilateral stimulation, body scans, and metaphor-based visualization to help the body release emotional burdens.   - Visualization Practices – Inviting clients to connect with a Higher Power, or a loving internal figure like a grandparent, to find grace and compassion within.

Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that!Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he's developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong, is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action.In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it's learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you're leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you'll take something away from this conversation.Tune in to hear:Bravery isn't innate - it's a skill you can build over timeMisconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies backHow companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovationWhy naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and culturesWays to be brave every single day - no crisis required!If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.LINKS AND RESOURCES:

As the podcast reaches an unbelievable 500-episode milestone, Jeannette presents an empowering, inspiring and stellar line-up of some of the most incredible guidance and wisdom across the span of the last five hundred episodes, not only as a celebration of past conversations but also as a launch pad for future growth, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique journeys and strive for greatness. You'll learn how: Overcoming significant challenges often requires a strong mindset and resilience. Individuals can transform setbacks into comebacks by focusing on what they can achieve rather than what they lack. Building a supportive community and surrounding oneself with inspiring individuals can elevate personal and professional growth. Trust and collaboration are essential for success. Taking risks and stepping into the unknown can lead to transformative experiences. Playing it safe rarely results in greatness; embracing bold decisions is crucial for achieving significant goals. Authenticity is key to effective leadership. Being true to oneself and fostering an environment where team members can express their unique perspectives leads to better outcomes and stronger teams. Inspiration without action is ineffective. Turning dreams into reality requires consistent effort, discipline, and the willingness to take the leap, even in the face of fear and self-doubt. This episode is living proof that no matter where you’re starting from — or what life throws at you — it’s never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

In March 2025, Halifax West MP Lena Metlege Diab presented Janice with the King Charles III Coronation Medal from the Government of Canada for her body of work, books, and longtime mental health advocacy. Janice is a veteran journalist and proud Haligonian. In May 2025, she released her seventh book, Every Little Thing – how small acts of kindness make a big impact, following her 2023 Lyme disease diagnosis. Janice has since fully recovered and wrote this “small book with big messages” to thank society's many and varied helpers, including some of her own. Janice's longtime publisher is Nova Scotia's Pottersfield Press. Her last two books, Eye of the Ocean and Silver Linings, were both bestsellers. Janice's biggest inspiration is her family, husband, Rob, and daughter, Laura. Through her writing, she also honours her late parents, Baz and Theresa. Janice began writing longform non-fiction to tell the gripping story of her firefighter father's national Medal of Bravery for his part in the near-death rescue of an infant from a harrowing 1978 Halifax house fire.   The introductory, end, and bumper music for this podcast (“Laser Groove”) was composed and produced by Kevin MacLeod of www.incompetech.com and is Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0

Episode Summary:Regina Cates joins me on the show to discuss her latest book The Real Conversations Jesus Wants Us to Have: A Call to Bravery, Peace, and Love. This episode is part memoir, part social commentary, and part call to action for those of us who grew up in religious fundamentalism and have found our way out to a bigger, broader, and more inclusive world.I realize that a lot of our episodes lean toward the scholarly and the erudite, but this is not one of those. This conversation is personal, real, and raw. In fact, this is our 90th episode on Holy Heretics, and it may just be our most candid, open, and vulnerable conversation to date. 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. Her first internationally bestselling book Lead with Your Heart: Creating a Life of Love, Compassion, and Purpose continues to be an inspiration to people who desire a more fulfilled life. Regina is followed by hundreds of thousands on social media who embrace her messages of kindness, compassion, and empathy for one another as equal members of our human family.I think you will enjoy this conversation as Regina and I share our personal stories of leaving religious fundamentalism and finding faith, community, hope, and wholeness post-evangelicalism.Please Follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!

Michael Lewis, acclaimed author of The Big Short, Moneyball and The Fifth Risk joins Lovett to discuss his most recent book, Who is Government? Lewis and his coauthors profile the civil servants whose thankless and unglamorous work prevents mines from collapsing, castaways from drowning, and rare diseases from killing people. He and Jon talk about why it's so important to break down the “bureaucrat” stereotype right now, why Lewis is convinced Elon Musk has no idea how to run DOGE, and what leads the people he writes about to stand up to Trump or succumb to their personal ambition. To enjoy ad-free episodes of Pod Save America, and more, subscribe to our Friends of the Pod Community now at crooked.com/friends or directly on Apple Podcasts!

It was the space mission that captured headlines. Two astronauts who were supposed to spend just over one week in space ultimately spent more than 9 months on the International Space Station because of a problem with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Today, we'll hear directly from the astronauts about what went wrong and who is to blame, the cutting-edge experiments they conducted in space, and their hopes for the future of human spaceflight.
