Everything has its price. But what value are you placing on your life? 

We learn as we age. At least we are supposed to. Well, that's what I've been told! Life is sorta like a minefield. Walk deliberately but choose your path wisely. 

Hello to you listening in Pasadena, California! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been binge-watching The Big Bang Theory TV series as I do this time each year to humor me through our Pacific Northwest November to May Rain Festival. As you might know a consistent theme is the characters' devotion to comics and superheroes. Why? The characters are highly intelligent, socially awkward nerds who have difficulty navigating society whereas the superheroes possess save-the-day abilities, rare powers, and bravery. Comics can be a safe place to fantasize living idealized versions of themselves as the nerd-turned-hero. But what do the Superheroes have to say about living life as a Superhero? Following are 7 quotes: 1. “When you decide not to be afraid you can find friends in super unexpected places.” — Ms. Marvel 2. “Everybody's story begins “once upon a time,” and it's up to us to cherish the time we're given to ensure we live happily ever after.” — Scarlet Witch 3. “I have no idea where I'm going to be tomorrow but I accept the fact that tomorrow will come and I'm going to rise to meet it.” — Donna Troy 4. “The fate of your planet rests not in the hands of gods. It rests in the hands of mortals.” — Thor 5. “The future is worth it. All the pain. All the tears. The future is worth the fight.” — Martian Manhunter 6. “The door is more than it appears. It separates who you are from who you can be. You do not have to walk through it… You can run.” — Franklin Richards 7. “A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know the world hasn't ended.” — Batman Story Prompt: For a long time your character has felt that she is more than she appears to be but does not believe she has what it takes to show up fully in her power until one day a door appears in a wall and she .... write that story and share it out loud!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

In today's episode, I share with you a way of applying gratitude. 

Send a textWhat if bravery isn't something you're born with—but a skill you can train?In this powerful and deeply thoughtful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Jill Schulman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, positive psychology expert, and author of The Bravery Effect. Together, they explore what bravery really is, why fear never goes away, and how choosing action—especially when it's uncomfortable—can radically improve performance, fulfillment, and well-being.Jill breaks down the science behind bravery, explaining how taking action rewires the brain, builds confidence, and strengthens self-belief over time. She shares powerful stories from her military background, her Ivy League education in positive psychology, and her recent TEDx experience—revealing why courage often comes before confidence, not after.The conversation also dives into leadership, personal growth, and why avoiding discomfort may actually fuel anxiety and dissatisfaction. From decision-making and self-agency to discipline, consistency, and building a “brave tribe,” this episode offers practical, evidence-based insights you can apply immediately.If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or unsure about taking the next step—this episode will challenge you to rethink fear and redefine what's possible. 

The CDC has recognized connection as a core part of health and wellbeing. Our brains are wired for this. Change the wiring and the results may be harmful. 

In today's episode, I deviate from my usual message of encouragement, strength and hope to talk about Mexico. The country desperately needs our prayers. 

The Spirit is constantly talking to us. But are we listening?

Most people don't require rules to live their lives the right way. 

Power and control are strong motivators, especially when there is money involved. Jesus taught differently. Let's follow him and not the "rules of religion." 

Chair Latz, Senator Limmer, and members, thank you for inviting me to be here today.I am glad that we are here when, if the federal government is to be believed, Operation Metro Surge will soon be winding down. Tragically, whenever the real end to this surge finally comes, it will come too late for Renee Good and Alex Pretti and all who loved them. We will continue to seek justice for them.The surge will end too late for Liam Conejo Ramos and the other children who will have to live with the trauma of their detention.It will end too late for everyone who was wrongfully and illegally detained.It will end too late for Minnesotans who have endured racial profiling, for businesses that have closed, for children that couldn't go to school, for the people who have fallen behind on their rent because they couldn't safely go to work.The unprecedented, unconstitutional, and unnecessary exercise of force that is Operation Metro Surge leaves much pain in its wake.Despite this pain, when this surge ends, it will be a victory. It will be a victory for the rule of law, for the power of creative, lawful resistance, and for the strength of unity over division. Minnesotans organized themselves. They exercised their legal rights to observe and protest, by the tens of thousands, in sub-zero temperatures. They helped their neighbors who needed help. In the face of a massive display of force and acts of intimidation and violence, they held their — and our — constitutionally protected ground: bravely, creatively, and peacefully.I promised during the surge that I would match Minnesotans' bravery. My office and I did much to hold ICE, DHS, and the Trump Administration accountable under the law and the constitution.* On January 9, just two days after the death of Renee Good, my office joined forces with the Hennepin County Attorney's office to create a portal for witnesses to submit evidence.* This was necessary because almost immediately after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee, the federal government made the extraordinary announcement that it would not include the state in its investigation or share evidence with state investigators.* It is normal and routine for state and federal law enforcement and investigators to work together: in Minnesota, it happens all the time. The trained investigators of the Minnesota BCA are completely professional and non-political. I cannot stress enough how extraordinary it is for federal law enforcement to refuse to work with state investigators on this case.* On January 12, we filed a lawsuit in federal court to end the surge.* We argued — and continue to argue — that the surge is unconstitutional, violating the First and Tenth Amendments to the constitution and the Equal Sovereignty principle.* On January 15, my office launched a form on our website for Minnesotans to share the impacts of federal government actions, including DHS actions have had on them personally or someone close to them, or that they have personally witnessed.* To date, we have more than 1,500 submissions.* And on January 24, the day that Alex Pretti was killed, my office represented the BCA in filing a lawsuit along with Hennepin County to compel the federal government to preserve evidence.* We won a temporary restraining order just two hours after we filed the lawsuit.* Disappointingly, the FBI has announced that it will not cooperate with the BCA in the Pretti matter, either.Allow me to make clear that although the surge is winding down, the two lawsuits we filed during the surge continue. We will keep challenging the constitutionality of the surge, so that this administration — or any administration — cannot ever again attempt to compel a state to kneel to its policy demands. And we will keep fighting for truth and accountability for the killings of Alex and Renee.Minnesotans had a right to expect that their federal government would have a credible, rational basis for sending more than 3,000 federal agents to our state for the largest immigration-enforcement action in our nation's history. The federal government has never deployed as many immigration agents to one place at one time as it has here.Instead, every rationale the Trump Administration has offered is a pretext.The government has said the purpose of the surge is to fight unauthorized immigration. Yet Minnesota ranks 28th among all states in the percentage of undocumented immigrants: Florida and Texas alone have nearly as many undocumented people as the entire population of Minnesota.The federal government has said the purpose of the surge is to fight fraud in government programs. I abhor fraud, and my office is already in this fight: We have convicted 300 Medicaid fraudsters in the last seven years.But the government did not surge forensic accountants or computer scientists who could actually help us fight fraud. Instead, it sent 3,000 masked, armed men.In fact, the surge has harmed the fight against fraud in Minnesota. Because of it, the federal government's work of fighting fraud in Minnesota has ground to a halt. The surge has triggered a wave of experienced prosecutors resigning from the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota, and the remaining staff are drowning under a flood of habeas corpus petitions.The government has also said the purpose of the surge is to fight violent crime and rid our streets of “the worst of the worst.” Yet violent crime rates in Minneapolis were falling before the surge. Furthermore, ICE's own data shows that 67% of those it has detained in Minnesota have no criminal records, and only a very small percentage have a record of committing violent crime.Notoriously, some of those detained have been children. Is five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos the worst of the worst? Or 10-year-old Elizabeth Zuña Caisaguano?The federal government has also said the purpose of the surge is to gain cooperation from state and local officials in immigration enforcement. Other elected officials in Minnesota have echoed those claims, saying that if only Minnesota had “cooperated” with ICE, the surge would not have been necessary and Renee's and Alex's lives would have been spared.So let me be perfectly clear: Minnesota already fully complies with the law when it comes to federal immigration enforcement.The Minnesota Department of Corrections already follows the state law — Section 631.50 — that requires it to notify federal authorities when a non-citizen convicted of a felony nears their release date. The federal government had to back off their false claims to the contrary when DOC presented the facts.Minnesota sheriffs and county attorneys already comply with state law that they may not keep someone incarcerated on an immigration detainer longer than they are otherwise legally allowed to incarcerate them. In February 2025, I issued a legal opinion that restated the law, which is supported by a noted Minnesota case called Esparza vs. Nobles County, as well as cases from other states. When I met in person with Border Czar Tom Homan, he acknowledged that this is the law.So Minnesota already follows the law.After dismissing all the pretexts, it's clear: This surge is about what President Trump said it was about. In a Truth Social post on January 13, he wrote that “retribution and reckoning” was coming to Minnesota. Operation Metro Surge was Trump's retribution for our policies, our values, and how we vote.In the face of Donald Trump's campaign of revenge and retribution against Minnesota, we as a state stood for the rule of law and our constitutional rights, and stood for what we believe in our beloved state: that we are stronger when we stand together, that we all do better when we all do better, and that everyone deserves to live with dignity, safety, and respect — no exceptions. Now, our attention turns to healing and to ensuring that what happened here over the past several weeks can never happen again — not to us, and not to any state, city, or neighborhood in this country.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Jill Schulman—Bravery Expert, United States Marine Corps veteran, keynote speaker, and author of The Bravery Effect—to explore why bravery isn't a personality trait, but a skill anyone can build. Jill shares the pivotal experiences that led her to study the science of fear and courage, and why so many high performers unknowingly hold themselves back by playing it safe. Drawing from positive psychology, neuroscience, and her military background, Jill explains why bravery is not the absence of fear—but the decision to act alongside it. Throughout the conversation, Jill breaks down the hidden cost of avoiding hard conversations, the myths that keep leaders stuck, and why small, repeated acts of bravery compound over time to shape identity, performance, and fulfillment. She also introduces the three core dimensions of bravery—thinking bravely, acting bravely, and connecting bravely—and explains how these skills fuel leadership, confidence, and impact. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth requires discomfort—and that the life and leadership you want sit just on the other side of a brave decision.     You'll Learn: Why bravery is a skill—not a personality trait The difference between fearlessness and true courage The real cost of playing it safe in your career and life The most common fears that hold leaders back How small, daily acts of bravery shape identity and performance Why psychological safety requires personal bravery Practical ways to take action even when you feel unsure   Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Jill Schulman: https://www.jillschulman.com/ Order The Bravery Effect: https://www.jillschulman.com/ Download our 2025 Confidence Crisis Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/

In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Brianna interviews TikTok creator and author Allora Dannon, who describes herself as a plus-size "accidental late bloomer spokesperson." Allora explains how she reframed "late bloomer" to mean not dating or experiencing physical intimacy until her thirties, and she shares how growing up as the oldest of ten in a supportive religious family still left her feeling embarrassed, isolated, and "left behind" as her sisters married while she received little romantic attention. Together, Bri and Allora discuss the cultural whiplash around sex and inexperience, the impact of fatphobia on dating, the desire to be wanted without tying worth to men's attraction, and how platitudes about dating can be more harmful than validation.    TIMESTAMPS: 01:27 Meet the Guest: 'Accidental Late Bloomer' Allora Dannon 04:13 Her Background: Big Family, Faith, and Feeling 'Too Much' 10:25 Wanting to Be Desired Isn't a Moral Failing 13:16 Modern Dating Is Brutal: Apps, Anxiety, and Outdated Advice 21:12 Season of Bravery: Dating Apps, Rules, and Asking People Out 33:13 First Relationship After Late Blooming: Beautiful Firsts & Red Flags 36:14 A 'Season of Bravery': Dating Apps, One-Month Rule & Meeting Her Fiancé 40:31 Do It Scared, Not Traumatized: Nervous System, Anxiety Meds & Expanding Attraction 46:26 Intimacy as Healing: Sleeping Naked, Loving Your Shape & Protecting Your Progress 51:16 Ode to the Apron Belly: Body Dysmorphia, Moving Goalposts & Finding Neutrality 56:47 Closing Advice & Community: The Memoir Plug, Where to Start Healing, and Where to Find Her EPISODE RESOURCES: "Who Is She?

In this episode, we explore the rarely recognized power of “seeing the here and now.” Using a memorable scene from Spielberg's Lincoln as a launchpad, we dig into what it really means to rise to those unique, decisive moments that have the potential to alter the trajectory of our organizations, teams, and lives. While it's easy (and comfortable) to stick to established plans and long-term strategies, the real challenge—and opportunity—lies in perceiving the pressing realities and fleeting openings right in front of us.We break down why leaders often miss out: from the tendency to seek only confirming data, to deferring action until it's "more convenient," or sticking with yesterday's plan at the expense of today's opportunities. We discuss how recognizing and responding to converging tensions, personal convictions, and unexpected resources can set you apart as a brave leader who changes the game. Because, as we remind ourselves, the hardest thing isn't to plan, but to see what's possible now—and act on it while the window is open.Five Key Learnings:Not all moments are equal. Some situations are true inflection points that demand we notice and act, not simply follow the plan.Comfort can be a blindfold. We naturally avoid disconfirming evidence and delay hard choices, risking missed opportunities.Look for signs. Tensions you're wrestling with, persistent convictions of conscience, and aligning resources are often signals that something important is at stake.Success can lead to failure. Achieving the wrong goals—because we're ignoring reality—means we can “succeed our way into failure.”Bravery is seeing and contending with reality. The leaders who change things aren't always the ones with the best laid plans; they're the ones who respond bravely to what's real and present.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with their song still in them." Fear has killed more dreams than lack of talent ever has. The world needs to hear your music.

How we feel about something doesn't make it fact. We must find the way to separate the two. 

It's one of the Bible's most famous stories. But this is an invitation to hear it again as if for the first time. It's not a fairytale; it's about a real person in real danger -- and has real applications for us today. This sermon (also released as a podcast episode), explores Daniel 6. True bravery is kneeling before God while facing the lions, both actual and metaphorical. It was true then, and it's true now.

The past is full of wonderful memories, and there may be some painful ones, too. It's okay to visit the past, but don't stay too long. You might miss something in the present. 

It's always good to use good manners and be respectful of others. 

Humility doesn't mean thinking less of yourself. Practicing humility will open your mind to new possibilities. Be a lifelong learner. 

There is always a reason to be happy, even when life doesn't go our way. 

There is nothing random about your life. There is a reason and a purpose for you being here.

Happy Valentine's Day! The Cemetery Row girls have three dramatic tales of love in this week's episode. Lori covers the Mayerling incident involving Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria and his mistress, Baroness Mary Vetsera. Hannah shares the story of incredibly brave abolitionists Ellen and William Craft, who risked everything to escape slavery. Sheena covers the rollercoaster love story of Jessie and George Peters and Earl Van Dorn, the "terror of ugly husbands."

We fall. We fail. We beat ourselves up unnecessarily on repeat. But here's some good, no, great news! God never runs out of forgiveness. All we have to do is ask.

Stay true to yourself no matter the crowd you are in. Be who you are, who you were created to be...

We are wrong on complex issues more than we are right. And that's okay. 

Make your mark on the world. Leave it better than when you entered it. 

We go all over the place today, but hang on to the end with us. Every now and then we discuss a topic we having differing views on, and this one about quitting brings that “left side” “right side” up. In addition, Rick asks about the best and worst parts about being a woman, and moments we were the most brave. We also share some things we want to do in 2026. Squish on in--- this is an interesting one...

It's almost time for the Super Bowl. But in today's episode I am talking about the biggest game of all: the game of life.

Do you feel near God or does He seem like He's nowhere to be found? Who moved? Hint...it wasn't God. 

What would you do if your life—or the life of your child—depended on an impossible choice?

It's time to take the challenges our world faces and put them in the hands of the faith and philanthropic communities. More government is not the answer. The politicians created much of the mess we are in. But there are solutions. 

Day 1,433.Today, amid increased Russian military pressure in the Donbas, and as Ukraine faces what the NATO Secretary General calls its “harshest winter for a decade”, we bring you the latest from the Ukraine peace talks, where the United States is understood to be increasing pressure on President Zelensky's government to concede territory to Russia before Washington grants any security guarantees. But is Moscow's position under Vladimir Putin softer than it appears, as some allege? Then we discuss civilian resilience in Ukraine with an expert from Harvard University.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Dr Emma Mateo (Harvard University's Ukrainian Research Institute). @emm_mateo on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's episode, Michael sits down with Christine Wolf Hoover, a licensed professional counselor from Texas and author of "Soul Adventuring: Your Guide to Living with Bravery and Joy." Together, they explore the idea that our faith journey is an invitation into risk, bravery, and joy, not just a checklist of spiritual practices.Through honest conversation and stories drawn from her clinical experience and personal life, Christine breaks down the barriers of toxic positivity, sharing how embracing vulnerability and facing the hard places in life can lead to real transformation. You'll hear practical wisdom on navigating trauma, setting boundaries, and improving emotional health, along with fresh perspectives on classic ideas like "doing the work," regulating your brain, and cultivating joy.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
