In this episode, Carrie Pickett challenges believers to stop letting their bank accounts dictate their obedience to God. True prosperity isn't just about money; it is a spiritual identity rooted in God's abundant nature. Key Highlights "If It's God's Will, It's God's Bill": When God calls you to step out, He provides the resources—whether that means finances, people, or opportunities. Abundance is an Identity: Because Christ lives in you, you already possess the fullness of His riches. You are not a "spiritual beggar" waiting for crumbs. Rejecting the Poverty Mentality: Don't let natural limitations, fear, or the limiting mindsets of others stop you from executing God's calling. Watch and learn more at: charisbiblecollege.org

We all have a story about who we are and why our life has unfolded the way it has. But what happens when that story becomes the very thing holding us back? In this powerful live intervention from the 2024 Date With Destiny event, Tony Robbins works with a woman whose painful childhood experiences shaped the way she saw herself, her relationships, and her future. As the conversation unfolds, Tony reveals how unresolved pain can quietly become part of our identity and why true freedom begins when we stop letting our past define what's possible. Whether your struggles come from heartbreak, disappointment, loss, or even traumatic experiences that have stayed with you for years, this intervention is a powerful reminder that while we can't change our past, we can choose the meaning we give it and the life we create from this moment forward. This isn't just one woman's breakthrough. It's a lesson for all of us in confronting the stories we tell ourselves, letting go of the ones that no longer serve us, and stepping into a future defined not by our history, but by who we choose to become.   If you're ready to create your own breakthrough, experience Tony Robbins live at one of his world-renowned events: Date With Destiny: https://tonyr.co/4aIqhME Unleash the Power Within: https://tonyr.co/40Wohw0 We hope to see you there!

Matthew Ehret closes out his five week Occult Tesla series with the big finale: Tesla versus Einstein, and it is not the underdog story you were told in school. Using Tesla's own poem mocking Einstein as "a long haired crank," Ehret unpacks why Tesla clung to a flat, Newtonian universe while Planck, Einstein, and Riemann were busy proving space itself curves. From there the show pulls back the curtain on Isaac Newton himself, alchemist, closet Rosicrucian, and self declared heir to Babylonian magic rather than the square jawed genius of the paintings. Expect Cambridge Apostles, secret societies masquerading as scientific academies, and a hard look at how "empiricism" became less a method and more a lattice built to keep real discovery boxed in. It is dense, it is contrarian, and it asks who actually gets to define what counts as science. Tech hiccups and all, Ehret gets his slides up eventually.

Anthony O'Neal, had $6.32 to his name on a Wednesday night. He needed gas. He was hungry. He ended up cutting two McDonald's double cheeseburgers in half — that was his food for the next two days. He diluted his sweet tea with water to stretch it. And in that moment, eating a cold half-burger in his apartment, something shifted in him. He thought: there has to be a better way.Fast forward to his fortieth birthday. Anthony is on a private yacht off the coast of Italy. The chef comes out mid-dinner, not just to ask how the fish is — but to offer to catch that same fish again for him tomorrow. And Anthony thought back to that Wednesday night, that half-burger, that $6.32 — and he realized: he had found the better way.Anthony O'Neal is a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Table with AO.

So many women carry a scarcity money code, a pattern that whispers resources are limited, that there's never quite enough. This code often takes root in childhood and gets reinforced by the world around us, until worry about money and guilt about spending become the quiet soundtrack of our days.   Here's the truth: that pattern once served a purpose. And it is ready to be upgraded.   In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Teresa Romain, an Abundance Coach, Spiritual Director, and transformational speaker with over 30 years of sacred work helping people heal their relationship with money, themselves, and God/Goddess. Teresa guides people out of what she calls The Abundance Trap™, opening the channel to fully live the unique life they were created for, held by all the resources they need.   Teresa and I dish on:  - The scarcity trap and its grip on our relationship with money  - How scarcity is woven from our beliefs and perceptions, ready to be rewritten  - The hose metaphor, a beautiful illustration of abundance flowing freely when we stay connected to Source  - Aligning with divine abundance as the foundation, with money flowing as the resource that supports it  - Why connection to Source is the heart of manifesting wealth  - Practical steps to recognize money leaks and clear the way for abundance to flow   This conversation is sacred medicine for anyone ready to remember that Source is your Source, and that the resources to thrive and share your gifts with the world are already flowing toward you.   Subscribe now so you'll never miss an episode and leave us a review!

Show Notes The Addiction Nobody Talks About — Our Search for Certainty Theme: Recovery • Self-Trust • Emotional Freedom Music: “Remember” by Sutherland

What would you do differently if you stopped worrying about what other people thought?Would you finally ask for the promotion? Speak up in senior leadership meetings? Negotiate your salary? Set the boundary you've been avoiding? Or stop apologizing for taking up space?For so many brilliant, high-performing women in demanding corporate careers, the biggest thingstanding between where they are and where they want to be isn't capability - it's the fear of other people's opinions.In this episode of Breaking Free from the Grind, I unpack why the need for approval quietly keeps talented women playing smaller than they're meant to and the leadership shifts required to stop making career decisions based on potential disapproval - and start leading from self-trust instead.In this episode, I'm diving in to discuss:Why fear of other people's opinions is one of the biggest hidden barriers to senior leadership - and how constantly worrying about being 'too much,' 'too ambitious,' or 'too difficult' keeps brilliant women from asking for what they want, setting boundaries, and fully owning their leadership.The difference between building your career around approval versus alignment—why decisions made to avoid disapproval will always pull you further away from the career and leadership identity you actually want to create.How to stop editing yourself and start leading authentically—including the mindset shift that allows you to let people misunderstand you, trust your own desires, and become the leader you're truly meant to be.If you've been making career decisions based on what your manager, colleagues, or team might think…If you've been shrinking your ambitions, softening your voice, or holding yourself back to make other people more comfortable…This episode will help you stop seeking permission - and start becoming the leader you already know you're capable of being.Next Level™ Leader Quiz: You're smart.

Today, we’re joined by two people who found their way through the wreckage of their pasts to build something new. First, we hear from Tom Hardin. A former Wall Street insider trader, Tom saw his entire world unravel the morning the FBI knocked on his door. He joins us to share how he moved from a double life of secrets to finding a faith that finally holds up on Monday mornings. Then, we’re joined by Dawn Cazedessus [CAZZ de sue], author of Trailer Park CEO. Raised in an environment of generational poverty and abuse, Dawn navigated the difficult path from survival to becoming a regional leader for Keller Williams International. She’ll walk us through how she broke that cycle and why she’s learned to embrace failure as a way to fail forward.

I had all the drive in the world; I just hadn’t built the moral infrastructure to sustain it.” - Tom Hardin “The most dangerous lie isn’t the one you tell others; it’s absolutely the one you tell yourself so fluently you forget it’s a lie at all.” - Tom Hardin “God didn’t meet me at the top of my career; He met me at the bottom of my character.” - Tom Hardin “Guilt says, I did something bad, shame says, I am something terrible. Guilt can drive you towards repentance, but shame drives you into hiding—not only from yourself, but from others and from God.” - Tom Hardin “This idea of “Who am I hurting” is the most seductive question a person can ask because the answer is always larger than you’re willing to imagine while you’re asking it.” - Tom Hardin “Faithfulness isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision you make every morning before the feelings arrive.” - Tom Hardin “As I drove off [from the trailer park], in my mind, I was leaving that past behind and going into the future, but what I realized later on in my life is that I physically left that day, but it took years to mentally leave.” - Dawn Cazedessus “The people who have given me their time have been even more valuable because they took time to pour into me, to speak into me.” - Dawn Cazedessus “You’ve got to be able to approach life with a glass that is overflowing, so that you can navigate the difficulty of the things.” - Dawn Cazedessus ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Cindy Esliger looks into why being the most reliable, hardest-working person in the room can quietly become one of the biggest obstacles to career success. While overfunctioning often earns praise and makes us feel indispensable, it also keeps us trapped in tactical work and limits opportunities to develop the strategic thinking and leadership skills needed for career advancement. Cindy examines why the cycle of constantly fixing problems is so appealing, why it's especially common for women in technical fields, and how tying self-worth to productivity creates an exhausting pattern that ultimately leads to burnout and career stagnation. Cindy explains how overfunctioning becomes self-reinforcing through perfectionism, expectation escalation, and the belief that constantly saying yes is what makes someone valuable. She outlines three major consequences of staying trapped in this pattern: 1. Burnout, 2. Career stagnation, and 3. Erosion of confidence. She also challenges several limiting beliefs, including the idea that boundaries are a sign of weakness, that being the gold-star employee leads to leadership, and that burnout is always a personal failure rather than a signal that something needs to change. Rather than focusing on what can't be controlled, Cindy shares five practical strategies for starting small in breaking free from the overfunctioning trap: 1. Single-tasking as opposed to multitasking, 2. Set small boundaries when saying no, 3. Dedicate one hour per week to mental well-being and career reflection, 4. Create a system to manage workload that isn't simply keeping everything in our heads, and 5. Audit internal standards regularly. By stepping away from playing the role of everyone else's safety net, we create space to lead more strategically, build genuine confidence, and pursue careers that are both successful and sustainable.

Matt Ehret keeps the Tesla file open, and this week the guest of honor is Sir William Crookes, the mentor most Tesla fans have somehow never heard of. Expect a deep dive into spirit photography, levitating mediums, and a scientist who somehow found time to run the British Royal Society and preside over the Ghost Club simultaneously. Ehret traces how the "invisible college" of 19th century spiritualism, from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to the Society for Psychical Research, fed directly into the myths surrounding Tesla's genius, and asks some uncomfortable questions about where credit for famous discoveries actually belongs. There's a rogue's gallery of hoaxers, a surprisingly funny Tesla poem mocking Einstein, and a preview of next week's showdown over the ether. If you like your science history with a side of seance, this one delivers.

Stop doing work that is 2 levels below your pay grade and calling it delegation.This episode of The Free Lawyer tackles a productivity killer that many law firm partners have: the midnight redo. Many partners find themselves completely rewriting associate drafts late at night under the guise of maintaining high standards. However, host Gary Miles, reveals that this isn't a delegation or character flaw, but rather an authority and design problem rooted in keeping standards trapped inside your own head. By continually rewriting work instead of providing clear, externalized criteria upfront, partners stunt associate growth and create a firm growth ceiling tied strictly to their own personal availability. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Three actionable structural shifts to help busy attorneys transition from redoing to true leadershipThree justifications lawyers don't realize their hiding behind that keeps them doing work late into the nightAnd how to maximize the capacity of their team by teaching the firm's standard of excellenceGo to the next level with more from The Free Lawyer episodes on this topic: the importance of building companies that don't rely solely on the owner's physical work and emphasizes leveraging a team of associatesListen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/226-how-can-law-firm-owners-increase-profit-and/id1614507857?i=1000661135819 Or Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/3B2jx5neJGFtq3bUvtU6Um?si=YqZoMaQ4TLu-RaNa52vS3Q Use this free diagnostic tool to help you identify your specific time drains and move from reactive chaos to purposeful strategy. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upbeat-trailblazer-9238.kit.com/7c3c667ff1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Learn more about Breaking Free (the book) and order your copy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.garymiles.net/break-free⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

You can look like love on the outside and still be running on fear underneath. That's the heart of what we're unpacking as we step into the fourth part of Loved To Love, a series on the sacred rhythm of Agape and the Four Movements of Divine Love. I take my time here because the stakes are real: a lot of “good” serving, giving, and helping can be driven by a protective self that learned early that love must be earned. If you've ever felt empty after ministry, guilty for resting, or anxious when you're not needed, you're not a bad person. You're carrying a wound that deserves healing, not shame. We draw a clear line between Protective Self-doing and Beloved Self-doing. Protective Self-doing performs, manages, and strives to stay safe. Beloved self-doing flows from a received identity as the beloved, rooted and grounded in God's unconditional love. We talk about how conditional love forms these patterns, how they migrate into adult relationships and vocational identity, and why even big achievements, titles, or relationships cannot heal what only Agape can reach. I also name the “sacred convergence” where spiritual formation, psychology, and neuroscience point in the same direction: renewal happens as we become attentive, practice the pause, and return to presence. Then we go straight to Genesis 3, where fig leaves become the first act of human self-protection, and God's first question is not “What did you do?” but “Where are you?” That question is still an invitation today: come out from hiding, you are still beloved. We close with a short contemplative breath practice to help you identify your own fig leaves with honesty and gentleness.

You built your firm to give yourself freedom. So why does it feel like you've never been more trapped? If your alarm goes off at five, your laptop comes on vacation with you, and the only way the work gets done is when you do it yourself, this conversation will land hard.In this episode, Gary sits down with Simone Fulmer Gaus, co-founder of Fulmer Sill and author of The Set-Up, to unpack why most lawyers stay stuck even after they leave the firm that was burning them out. Simone shares the Texas highway breakdown that cracked her open, the near-payroll-miss that forced her to stop lying to herself, and the five-pillar framework that has since grown her firm more than twenty times in revenue without burning out the people inside it. If you are tired of being the bottleneck in your own practice, this is the blueprint."If the foundation is breaking, it doesn't matter that you're putting fancy paint on the wall. Marketing is a tactic. The foundation is whether your team is ready when the cases come in."Key TakeawaysRecognize the trap: most lawyers rebuild the same broken model in their own firm with themselves at the centerStop fixing the surface: marketing, hiring, and software cannot repair a weak foundationBuild on five pillars: People, Pipeline, Process, Product, and ProfitabilityReframe pipeline as the full client journey, not just a marketing funnelBuild the firm as something separate from you, so it can outlast you and grow beyond youAsk the harder question first: what do you actually want, not what success is supposed to look likeStart tomorrow by sorting every part of your firm under the five pillars to see where the chaos really livesIf this conversation resonated, share it with a colleague who needs to hear it, and take a moment to follow the show and leave a review so more attorneys can find it.

(Long | Voice Only) Fear Of Being. Burden | Breaking Free From Control & Manipulation by Jason Newland

(Show Notes) What if addiction isn't the real problem? In this powerful episode of Why Not Me? Embracing Autism and Mental Health Worldwide, Tony Mantor sits down with psychologist, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Adi Jaffe to challenge everything we've been taught about addiction, recovery, trauma, and personal transformation. Drawing from both his professional expertise and his own remarkable journey from addiction and prison to becoming a UCLA-trained psychologist, Dr. Jaffe explains why destructive behaviors often begin as attempts to survive emotional pain—not moral failures. Together they discuss: • Why addiction is often a response to trauma, pain, and unmet emotional needs • The powerful role shame plays in keeping people trapped • Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change • How habits are formed in the brain—and why changing them takes time • The connection between anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-worth • Why healing begins with understanding instead of judgment • The importance of self-compassion during recovery • How changing your mindset can transform your life Whether you struggle with addiction, love someone who does, or simply want to better understand human behavior, this conversation offers practical wisdom, compassion, and hope.

What happens when being a doctor becomes the only thing you believe yourself to be?In this deeply personal solo episode of Limitless MD, Dr. Vikram Raya explores one of the most overlooked challenges physicians face—not burnout, finances, or career decisions, but identity.For years, Dr. Raya believed that everything he had sacrificed, studied, and worked for pointed toward a single role: physician. Yet as his desire for greater freedom, impact, and fulfillment grew, he found himself wrestling with a question many doctors quietly carry:"If I build something outside of medicine, am I betraying everything I've worked for?"Through personal stories, mindset shifts, and lessons learned from coaching thousands of physicians, Vikram unpacks why so many doctors feel trapped by a single identity and how expanding beyond that identity can unlock new opportunities, resilience, wealth, and fulfillment.This episode is a powerful reminder that medicine can be a meaningful part of your life without becoming the entirety of who you are.“The goal isn't to become less of a doctor. The goal is to become more of yourself.”— Dr. Vikram RayaIn This Episode:Why physicians often tie their entire identity to medicineThe hidden dangers of defining yourself by a single roleHow burnout becomes more painful when identity is attached to workThe mindset shift that changed Dr. Raya's lifeWhat it means to become a "Doctorpreneur"Why your self-concept determines the opportunities you pursueThe importance of creating a second arena outside medicineBuilding confidence and self-worth beyond your clinical careerHow communities and masterminds expand possibilityWhy multidimensional physicians are more resilientThe connection between identity, wealth, and personal growthHow the Eight Forms of Wealth create an antifragile lifeKey Takeways:1. You Are Not Your JobBeing a physician is something you do—not the entirety of who you are. When your identity becomes fused to your profession, every challenge at work can feel like a challenge to your worth.2. Expansion Creates OpportunityMany physicians aren't held back by a lack of intelligence or ability. They're held back by an identity that hasn't expanded enough to allow new opportunities in.3. Build a Second ArenaWhether it's investing, entrepreneurship, fitness, writing, coaching, or philanthropy, creating a second arena allows you to discover new dimensions of yourself and build resilience outside of medicine.4. Community Changes What's PossibleSurrounding yourself with physicians who are investors, entrepreneurs, leaders, authors, and creators helps expand your vision of what's available to you.5. True Wealth Is MultidimensionalFinancial success alone isn't enough. Lasting fulfillment comes from developing multiple forms of wealth including relationships, health, purpose, impact, mindset, and adventure.Connect with Vikram:

When we want to try something new, like joining a class or a club, what's the first reason we give for not doing it? "I'm too busy." And while that can be true, I've learned it's often not the whole story. A deeper look often reveals the real barrier: the discomfort of showing up alone. It's the vulnerability of walking into a room full of strangers and the fear of feeling awkward. We wait for a friend to join, but in waiting, we stay disconnected from new experiences and potential friendships. The biggest obstacle isn't always time or money; sometimes, it's simply the hurdle of going solo.Stop waiting for others and take one small, uncomfortable step toward activities that bring joy and community. Your future friendships and fulfillment may depend on it.

Feeling constrained by finances? Carrie Pickett shares a powerful message on how disobedience to God can stem from a scarcity mindset, inviting you to embrace God's abundance instead.

The biggest problem you are likely to face is your addiction to thinking. We all face this problem as our thoughts can feel so persistently real.Let me help you awaken your mind to begin to see through the illusions your mind creates as your reality. This is deep inner work which creates transformational change.In this deep guided silence meditation, explore what spiritual teacher Rupert Spira calls the heart of practice: "meditation is what we are, not what we do." Through breath awareness, the space between breaths, and the practice of becoming aware of being aware, you'll learn to observe your thoughts — even anxious or worrying ones — without judgment, and notice how they naturally dissolve when witnessed.This guided meditation for anxiety and overthinking moves through three stages: settling into stillness, observing the breath and its pauses, and resting in open awareness as a passive observer to thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Ideal for those exploring mindfulness, self-inquiry, presence practice, or nondual awareness teachings.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to upgrade your mindset and operate from a higher level in life then contact me to ask about working with me.Community, socials and newsletter link below too.Newsletter, contact and community link here

Matthew Ehret is back with roughly 50 slides and zero patience for the AI doom cult, whether they're pitching machines as gods or demons. This episode zooms out from last week's Tesla debate to ask a bigger question: is technological progress really a trade for personal freedom, like the transhumanists insist, or is that just repackaged Malthus with better marketing? Expect a wild tour through mechanical history, from ancient Greek automatons to Vaucanson's pooping duck to a tiger that eats British soldiers, all building toward the real showdown: Edgar Allan Poe versus a fraudulent chess playing machine, and Beethoven versus a music box that tried to steal his symphony. It's part detective story, part music history, and part warning shot at anyone ready to hand over their mind to a "singularity." Come for the automatons, stay for the takedown of Darwin's favorite influence.

You'll hear from my story and Sathiya's many stories that pornography is NOT neutral...it destroys men's power, purpose, and presence. If you want to finally learn how to get free of pornography for good - beyond just relying on willpower and blocker apps on your device - you need to listen to this episode now.
