JD completed the Epic Deca, which is 10 Ironman triathlons in 10 days across all six Hawaiian islands, and became one of three people in the world to ever finish it. He sold his house to fund it. He came home to a storage unit because he couldn't afford anywhere else to live. And he says the hardest part wasn't the race itself. JD is a military veteran, an engineer, a certified naturopathic practitioner, and an endurance athlete who has spent his life learning how to build the kind of mental fortitude that carries you through not just extreme physical challenges but the everyday ones that most of us are quietly battling. Depression doesn't leave after you climb the mountain, he says. It's how you cope with it that changes your life.  We get into how he prepared for the Epic Deca, why discipline is something earned through structure and systems rather than something you're given, how he breaks down terrifying goals into something actually executable, and what sustainable performance really means when you're also a father who wants to be able to run around at the park with his son. We also talk about writing his book, Hunger for More in Life, and one particular message he received from a reader that made every bit of it worth it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What an Ironman endurance race entails, and what multiplying it by 10 across six Hawaiian islands looks like Why discipline is a byproduct of structure, not a personality trait you either have or don't The difference between motivation and discipline, and when to use each one What sustainable performance actually means, and why longevity is built in the connections you make along the way Why your goal probably isn't big enough if it doesn't scare you, and how to break it down so you can actually move How he applied the same engineering method he used to train for the Epic Deca to writing a book The reader message that made him understand why he wrote it   Find JD at HungryWarriorAcademy.com Book: Hunger for More in Life, available on Amazon Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Perfectionism doesn't always come from loving excellence. Sometimes it's the only way you've ever known how to feel safe. In the first episode of a new series on Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, Dr. Greg unpacks how perfectionism, rigidity, and control take root—and why, underneath them, control quietly fills the space where trust was supposed to be. Key Topics: Why the pursuit of perfection is often less about loving excellence and more about not feeling safe without it How "until I'm perfect, I'm not loved" becomes the sentence an entire personality gets built on Why one small mistake can feel like disconnection instead of just a mistake How conscientiousness and perfectionism can look identical from the outside—and the one thing that tells them apart Why you can get everything right and still never feel free to rest Why the love you keep trying to earn was already given—before you got anything right Learn More: Person and Act and Related Essays by Karol Wojtyła (St. John Paul II) — the anthropology of self-possession and self-gift behind this episode Join a future Black Elk healing retreat at the Hawkeye Ranch in Wyoming Episode referenced on spiritual bypassing and scrupulosity: Ep. #288: Why "Everything Happens for a Reason" Isn't Working: The Holy Words We Use to Avoid Healing Inner Parts Easy Conversation Guide — an audio guide to get to know your inner parts.

Girls with Grafts is back for Season 9!

The following article of the Infrastructure industry is: 'How Skilled Workforce Certification Drives Mexico's Clean Energy' by Daniel García Valladares, CEO, Modulo Solar. 

professorjrod@gmail.comIf “the internet is down” is the sentence that makes your brain freeze, this guide is for you. We take the pressure off by turning networking into a set of simple ideas you can picture and repeat under stress, the same way you'll need to think on the help desk and on the CompTIA A+ exam. I walk through what a network is, why businesses rely on it, and how PAN, LAN, and WAN show up in real life, from Bluetooth devices to the internet itself.From there, we connect the dots across the gear and the settings: what switches do inside a LAN, why routers matter for getting online, how modems talk to your ISP, and what an access point really does for Wi‑Fi. We cover IP addressing with clean examples, the difference between private and public IPs, and how NAT translates between them. Then we hit the “must know” services: DHCP for automatic configuration, DNS for turning names into numbers, and the core ports that show up again and again. I also share a quick help desk story that proves why “never guess, always verify” saves time.The second half expands beyond networking into the wider set of IT support fundamentals: laptop design and upgrade limits, battery safety, modern connectors like USB‑C power delivery, docking stations, mobile tech like NFC and biometrics, and printer troubleshooting that becomes easy once you understand the printer type and the laser process. We wrap with practical explanations of virtualization and cloud computing, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, plus why the smartest solution is often the right service, not more hardware.Subscribe for more CompTIA A+ and IT certification study help, share this with a friend who's studying, and leave a review so more new techs can find the show.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

:  In this episode of Sew & So, we're joined by Dr. Cindie Husbands, founder of the American Tailors and Sewing Association. Few people can say they've been a professional mime at SeaWorld, designed award-winning bridal veils, produced performances at Carnegie Hall, Broadway Theatre, and the Sydney Olympics, built dance studios, manufactured casino uniforms in Las Vegas, launched a company that produced antimicrobial masks during the pandemic, and then founded a national organization to transform the future of tailoring in America. But Dr. Cindie Husbands can. Every chapter of her extraordinary life has been connected by one constant—sewing. From learning to sew as a young girl to building businesses across the country, Cindie has embraced every opportunity that came her way. Today, as founder of the American Tailors and Sewing Association, she's on a mission to address the growing shortage of skilled sewists, establish professional standards for the tailoring industry, and create new pathways for people to build meaningful careers through sewing. Join us for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, reinvention, and why sewing isn't just a craft—it's a skill that can truly change lives.   (3:00) How did Cindie first learn to sew and who was her inspiration? (4:40) What's the first item she created and does she still have it? (4:55) Cindie takes us on a ride with her through the journey to where she is today. Hear about the now famous people she still knows from high school and why she became a mime at Sea World. Buckle-up…this is amazing! Hear about Carnage Hall, the Sydney Olympics, Alaska, Las Vegas, Casino Uniforms, Kokomo, IN, the realization that she had gone to high school with her husband and more! And in all of this…she earned her Doctorate Degree! (21:26) Hear about the performances she's produced and which are her favorites. (22:20) Cindie talks about why quilting in Alaska is so pervasive and why quilting became important to her (25:46) Her daughter Amber owns Volcano View in Homer, AK. (26:08) What sewing projects are the most meaningful to her? (28:00) Cindie talks about the disconnect in the sewing industry and why she started the American Tailors and Sewing Association. And…the dearth of standards and sewists to work for fashion companies and tailoring. (32:00) Why haven't standards and pathways been addressed until now? (34:00) There is a resurgence in the interest of tailoring…but not enough people in the workforce to do the work. She explains what can be done about it. (36:08) Have the large stores been supportive of her efforts? (37:56) What are the goals of the Association? And her vision for the future of the industry? (39:20) Learn about her plans for Mobile Sew Labs created to help people reinvent themselves. (41:00) Cindie has “sewing can be a business at almost any level”. What does she mean by this? (43:00) Americantailor.org (43:08) What's next for Cindie? (44:05) What's her dream? (44:50) Is there a question we didn't ask? (45:40) You can reach out to Cindie go to Americantailor.org.

Twice in close to two decades of building an industry that barely existed, Dwayne Sperber has come near to walking away. Both times the phone rang. The second time was the morning he recorded this episode, when a project shifted against him and the call that came in was Jennifer asking him onto the show. What we're doing together is meaningful, he says, and that idea carries the whole conversation.   In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Dwayne Sperber of Wudeward Urban Forest Products, a founding member of the Urban Wood Network and one of the earliest advocates for urban wood in the Midwest. Dwayne grew up on a farm in central Missouri and was working a corporate job at Ford Motor Company when a Chicago Tribune article about an arborist salvaging removed trees stopped him cold. Three days later he was standing in front of the man from the article.   He went from commissioned furniture maker to partnership with a sawmill that agreed to take the entire production of a tree removal, and he did it without ever writing a business plan. Then a general contractor chewed him out on an otherwise done deal, refusing to put his name on a project using a material he had never heard of. That rejection convinced Dwayne the wood needed standards behind it, which led to Wisconsin Urban Wood, a multi-state US Forest Service project, the Urban Wood Network, and the USRW certification work he does today.   You'll also hear the business model he calls suits to boots, why a first order can take three to five years, and how more than 40,000 board feet of his lumber ended up in the highest visibility areas of the Fiserv Forum. Dwayne closes with the one idea he most wants specifiers to understand: urban wood is not a product category to shop for, it is a material that can become almost any specified product, from ceiling systems to wall cladding to library tabletops. At the end of the day it is wood. The source is what is different.   Chapters 00:00 From Ford Motor Company to Urban Wood 04:47 Rising from Ashes and Building Without a Business Plan 11:47 Getting Chewed Out, Then Building an Industry 16:26 Standards, Certification, and Nature's Inventory 21:23 Suits to Boots and the Five Year Sales Cycle 28:10 Fiserv Forum and 40,000 Board Feet 41:19 Almost Quitting, and What Urban Wood Can Become   The Woodpreneur Podcast brings stories of woodworkers, makers, and entrepreneurs turning their passion for wood into successful businesses - from inspiration to education to actionable advice.

What happens after spending a lifetime exploring the supernatural? Paranormal investigator, author, and television personality Amy Bruni joins A Psychic's Story for a conversation that goes beyond haunted places to explore curiosity, history, and what decades of investigating the supernatural have taught her about living with mystery. Amy reflects on the childhood experiences that sparked her fascination with the paranormal, why history is at the heart of every investigation, and how she's become more comfortable with questions than absolute answers. Together, Nichole and Amy discuss skepticism, the importance of honoring the human stories behind every haunting, and what it means to embrace the unknown after a lifetime spent searching for answers. Nichole and Amy also discuss the evolution of paranormal investigation, the importance of balancing skepticism with open-mindedness, and Amy's newest book, Cuisine to Kill For, which combines haunted history, true crime, and recipes inspired by legendary locations around the world. In this episode, you'll hear: How growing up in a haunted house sparked Amy's lifelong fascination with the paranormal. Why more than 20 years of investigating the supernatural have left Amy with more questions than answers. How healthy skepticism and open-mindedness work together in paranormal investigation. Why the history and human stories behind a haunting matter as much as the paranormal evidence. Why living with mystery can be more meaningful than having all the answers.

Imagine going alcohol-free in a country where wine is heritage, champagne is identity, and the only framework anyone has ever offered you is either you're an alcoholic or you're fine. That's the world Lorraine was living in when she started her Dry January four years ago in Paris, and decided this time to actually ask herself why she was drinking rather than just white-knuckling a month off. What she found on the other side of that question completely changed her life, and now she's building something that didn't exist in France even two years ago: a real alcohol-free movement, with a daily flood of LinkedIn haters to prove it's working. We go deep into: the French moderation myth, the idea that sophisticated social drinking is somehow different from the drinking culture everywhere else, and why the real question to ask yourself has never been "do I have a problem" but "is this bringing me closer to the life I actually want to build?" We also talk about how Lorraine built her alter ego, Lolita, as a way to step into audacity when fear and self-doubt were still running the show, and why that concept is one of the most powerful tools for anyone trying to grow into a version of themselves they haven't fully met yet.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Why France has one of the most entrenched drinking cultures in the world and what makes it so hard to question The binary trap: either you're an alcoholic or you have no problem, and why the gray zone is where most people actually live What it felt like to go to parties sober in Paris and observe human behavior around alcohol for the first time The Matrix concept Lorraine shares with her clients and how to use it to step outside the cultural programming The neuroscience: cortisol spikes, amygdala activation, and why the day after drinking keeps you stuck in autopilot mode How she built her alter ego Lolita to launch her business when she still didn't fully believe she could The alcohol-free movement emerging in France right now, and why she keeps posting through the haters   Find Lorraine on Instagram: @thefrenchsober  Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Avoidance works. That's the problem. Every time you dodge the hard thing, the relief is real—and so is the price you don't see coming. In this final episode of the series on avoidance, Dr. Greg makes the case that the way out isn't escape or a burst of willpower, but presence: staying in the room one second longer than you want to, and letting God meet you in the mess you were trying to hide. Key Topics: Why the relief avoidance gives you is exactly what keeps you stuck Why good therapy and mentorship refuse to hand you advice—and why that's what actually heals How even "staying present" can quietly become one more way to avoid what's surfacing Why healing works like a bruise, not a breakthrough—slow, at its own pace, and impossible to rush What to do the moment the wall goes up: stay in the room one second longer than you want to Why God doesn't wait at the finish line of your healing, but walks through the locked door to meet you in it Learn More: Presence Virtual Retreat: As a gift to listeners of Being Human, we're offering two full months free.

For years, people have come to me asking one question: "How do I become a death doula?" At the very beginning,  my answer was straightforward: become certified. Today, my answer is different. In this episode, I share why the future of this movement is no longer about earning another certificate—it's about becoming a full spectrum educator who brings compassionate community care back where it belongs. After serving more than 1,000 people at the bedside, training hundreds of thousands of caregivers around the world, and witnessing the enormous gaps in our healthcare system, one thing has become crystal clear: The healing in the world isn't going to happen with just more certified death doulas. It needs compassionate educators. It needs community leaders. It needs people who know how to teach families, support caregivers, normalize conversations about aging, grief, and end-of-life, and create compassionate communities where no one has to face these experiences alone. In this conversation, I explain why I've evolved beyond selling a traditional death doula certification and why Doulagivers Institute is leading the next evolution in support of this movement. In this episode you'll discover: Why certification alone doesn't create enough impact The biggest misconception about becoming a death doula What families are actually missing—and why education is the answer Why waiting for bedside clients is not the best path to building a meaningful practice How community education creates greater service, greater sustainability, and greater impact Why compassionate communities are becoming the future of aging and end-of-life care The evolution from "death doula" to community educator, guide, advocate, and leader How purpose, service, and meaningful work is true success This isn't about abandoning the work of the death doula. It's about expanding it. The bedside will always matter. But if we truly want to change the experience of aging, caregiving, dying, and grief, we must reach people long before a medical crisis occurs. Education changes everything. When communities understand how to care for one another, fear decreases, confidence grows, and people experience greater peace throughout life's most important transitions. That is the future. That is a return to the sacred. And that's the movement we're building together. Ready to Learn More?

This week Carolyn Woodard covers how to get AI literate, moving from the big-picture policy questions she's been focused on lately back to a practical roundup: how do you and your staff build AI literacy, and do you need a certificate to prove it?She starts with free and low-cost nonprofit-specific options: PoliSync's four-module Certificate in Applied AI for Social Good, and Tim Lockie's hands-on AI for Anyone course through The Human Stack ($99). She also points to more general platforms like LinkedIn Learning, plus certifications straight from the source: Anthropic's free AI Fluency for Nonprofits course and paid Claude Certified Associate exam, Microsoft's AI Business Professional Certificate for Copilot users, and Google's Gemini certifications (for general knowledge, no previous experience necessary.) For a deeper resource, she recommends Cheryl Contee's book AI for Nonprofits and its companion AI4NP.org knowledge hub.Carolyn's take: if you like structured learning and taking a class, or need a credential for a job or your own development plan, get one; if you're a self-directed learner already experimenting hands-on, you can decide if you need that credential too. Either way, AI literacy is what lets you and your organization make informed, values-driven decisions about how, or whether, to use these tools. She closes on a bright note: data center moratoriums are gaining momentum in cities and counties nationwide, proof that community advocacy is having a real effect.This episode covers:Free and low-cost AI literacy courses for nonprofit staff.Certification options straight from Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google for teams already using Claude, Copilot, or Gemini.How to decide whether you actually need a certificate, based on your learning style and goals.A recommended book and knowledge hub for going deeper on AI at nonprofits.Resources Mentioned:Certificate in Applied AI for Social Good – PoliSync – https://www.polisync.org/ai-certificateAI for Anyone – The Human Stack – https://thehumanstack.com/academy/aiforanyoneAI for Nonprofits Cohort (currently closed, see AI4NP.org below) – NTEN – https://www.nten.org/learn/nonprofit-tech-readiness/ai-for-nonprofitsCareer Essentials in Generative AI – LinkedIn Learning / LinkedIn for Nonprofit https://www.linkedin.com/learning/showcase/artificial-intelligence-22747885Udemy Nonprofit Plan FAQ – Udemy Business – https://business-support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115016125628-Nonprofit-Plan-FAQAI Fluency for Nonprofits – Anthropic Academy – https://anthropic.skilljar.com/ai-fluency-for-nonprofitsClaude Certification Program – Anthropic / Pearson VUE – https://www.pearsonvue.com/us/en/anthropic.htmlAI Business Professional Certificate – Microsoft Learn – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/ai-business-professional/Google AI Professional Certification - Google - https://grow.google/enroll-certificates/ai-professional-certificate-mid/Gemini Certifications – Google for Education – https://edu.google.com/intl/ALL_us/learning-center/certifications/AI for Nonprofits (book and knowledge hub) – AI4NP.org – https://www.ai4np.org/aboutData Center Reporting Tracker – Erin Brockovich – https://www.brockovichdatacenter.com _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening. 

Is dental assisting just a job or can it become a long term career with more opportunities, higher confidence, and greater earning potential? In this episode, we explore why national certification is helping dental assistants take their careers to the next level and why leading organizations are investing in professional growth. In part two of this three part series, Kevin Henry is joined by Amber Musser from Aspen Dental and Atia Black from the Dental Assisting National Board to discuss why national certification matters for dental assistants. They explain how certification strengthens clinical knowledge in areas like infection control, radiation health and safety, and regulatory compliance while also creating more career opportunities across multiple states. The conversation highlights how certification builds confidence, validates experience, increases job satisfaction, and can lead to higher earning potential. Amber also shares how Aspen Dental's investment in certification has improved retention, strengthened provider and assistant partnerships, and removed barriers that once kept many dental assistants from advancing their careers. Together, they make the case that supporting professional development is not only good for individual dental assistants but also improves patient care and strengthens the future of the dental workforce.

Chuck Todd delivers a masterclass on the single most underappreciated force in presidential politics: the primary calendar, which he argues reveals exactly what kind of nominee a party actually wants long before a single vote is cast. He explains that the Democratic decision to put South Carolina first is by design a test of Black support and viability in the South — and one that's deliberately engineered to hurt progressives, who have consistently gotten thumped in South Carolina primaries. He believes that Democrats have badly underinvested in South Carolina and Mississippi, meaning a little TLC could plausibly turn South Carolina into a genuine swing state. The calendar's practical effect, he argues, is that it sets up well for Wes Moore (if he runs) and is nearly as favorable for Pete Buttigieg, while raising the stakes for Kamala Harris to the point that if she doesn't win South Carolina, she's essentially finished. He is sharp on the flaws of the rest of the early window — Nevada isn't the test Democrats claim because the culinary union shapes everything and Arizona would better measure the Latino vote, Michigan is theoretically ideal but is getting torn apart over Israel in ways that could hurt Democrats in a general, and Virginia (now the last stop before Super Tuesday) reliably serves as a bulwark for moderates because it's a center-left rather than hard-left blue state — and he lays out what the ideal calendar would look like for progressives and for MAGA respectively. He's blunt that Ken Martin's leadership of the DNC has been a major problem, questioning whether Democrats really want him refereeing the nomination fight when the party's money troubles are a reflection on Martin himself. He then turns to Trump backing down on Iran yet again — halting strikes less than 12 hours after issuing fresh threats — calling the entire Iran adventure easily the dumbest thing a president has done this century, especially now that an administration once committed to non-proliferation appears to be helping the Saudis with nuclear technology. He notes Democrats nominated Troy Jackson to replace Graham Platner, making the Maine Senate seat winnable again even as Trump has made the races in both Maine and Michigan harder, and closes with a run of telling contrasts: the White House openly bragging that it added tariffs to help big tech, data centers emerging as the top issue for voters in many states, Trump calling LeBron James a racist from the Oval Office while Obama quietly reached out to offer Caitlin Clark advice and comfort — a perfect encapsulation, He argues, of one leader who wants to divide and another trying to turn the temperature down. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the ratification of the 14th amendment at a time when the idea of birthright citizenship is being called into question, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Then, sports business reporter John Ourand — who shares an origin story with Chuck Todd at Sports Business Daily — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deep dive into the money reshaping professional and college sports. Ourand walks through the sale of the Seattle Seahawks as a signal that the era of family-owned NFL franchises is ending, explaining how team valuations have roughly doubled in just three years thanks to new tax advantages and the simple fact that NFL ownership has become the ultimate status club for the ultra-wealthy. He and Chuck dig into whether these eye-popping valuations constitute a bubble — the NFL alone signed $110 billion in media deals over two years — and whether the sports media "middle class" could be facing a real reckoning even as streamers thrive with smaller game packages. Ourand offers a fascinating look at how leagues are navigating their relationship with the networks and production companies that broadcast them (the NFL is deliberately careful not to hurt the legacy networks it depends on), and defends the enduring value of investigative sports journalism, pointing to Pablo Torre's Clippers reporting as a reminder that nobody, including executives at ESPN, wants to be remembered as the person who killed real journalism at the network. The conversation turns to how sports and politics are increasingly colliding. Ourand contrasts Michael Jordan's studied political neutrality with the modern reality of athletes and leagues getting pulled into culture war fights whether they want to or not, noting the UFC fight at the White House pulled huge ratings and that Trump's involvement in overturning a disputed red card call may have actually boosted viewership. He praises Caitlin Clark for navigating the culture wars more gracefully than almost anyone in sports today, draws a compelling parallel between Clark and Larry Bird, and argues the WNBA under commissioner Kathy Engelbert isn't doing nearly enough to capitalize on the attention Clark has generated — in part because leagues remain skittish about race and sexuality debates they'd rather avoid entirely. Ourand closes with a detailed look at the messy economics of college sports, explaining how the biggest programs are effectively subsidizing smaller ones, why a real collective bargaining structure may eventually be inevitable, and why the sport's true power brokers could soon demand a much larger share of the revenue pie for themselves. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the ratification of the 14th amendment at a time when the idea of birthright citizenship is being called into question, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

The parts department is expected to identify the right components, manage inventory, prevent obsolescence, handle warranty returns, navigate supply chains, source emergency parts, and keep technicians productive.Yet in many dealerships, parts people are still treated like an afterthought.Marshall, Brent Osmond, and Josh Arnold discuss what changes when parts becomes a recognized skilled trade rather than a position people are expected to learn through trial and error.Brent explains how Canada's Parts Technician apprenticeship can include component identification, engines, transmissions, hydraulic systems, inventory control, logistics, customs documentation, customer communication, and Red Seal certification.The conversation then moves into the larger dealership problem: inconsistent training, limited mentorship, low professional recognition, and compensation that may not attract or retain highly capable people.A great parts person can understand what a technician is asking for, recognize related service information, anticipate required bolts and consumables, reduce mistakes, and prevent unnecessary downtime.The question is not whether parts people affect the repair process. They clearly do.The question is whether dealerships are willing to train and treat them accordingly.Subscribe for more conversations about technicians, dealership operations, leadership, training, and the people responsible for keeping the industry moving.Negative PushesPositive PullsGod Blessj.Follow Brent Osmond:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brent-osmond-7b8302149/Dynamic Diesel Solutionshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/dynamic-diesel-solutions-canada/posts/?feedView=allFollow Marshall Sheldonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-sheldon-981349176/Briggs Industrial Solutionshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/briggs-industrial-solutions/Follow Josh Arnoldhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-arnold-%F0%9F%A7%B0-aa249b349/Continental Automotive Grouphttps://www.linkedin.com/company/continentalautomotivegroup⚠️ Disclaimer:I'm a licensed mechanic.

This episode continues a special series featuring stories from those who traveled to Egypt with Nichole Bigley. In this conversation, Nichole reconnects with Leslie, a longtime listener of A Psychic's Story, to reflect on the unexpected path that led her to Egypt and how the experience reshaped her understanding of intuition and spirituality. Unlike many who dream of visiting Egypt for years, Leslie's journey began with a podcast episode, an unexpected sense of knowing, and a pilgrimage that happened to begin on her birthday. She wasn't searching for a spiritual awakening — she simply felt called to go. It wasn't until months later, after returning home and integrating the experience, that she began to understand why. Together, Nichole and Leslie explore the synchronicities leading up to the trip, childhood fascinations that resurfaced, vivid dreams, the unmistakable energy of Egypt, and how the meaning of the journey continued unfolding long after they returned home. Like everyone who joined the pilgrimage, Leslie's experience was uniquely her own. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the quietest callings become the journeys that change us most. Tune in to hear Nichole and Leslie talk about: What inspired Leslie to say yes to a spiritual pilgrimage in Egypt.  The childhood fascination with hieroglyphics that resurfaced years later. The synchronicities and meaningful dreams that began before and during the journey. The unique energetic atmosphere of Egypt and its impact on intuition. How traveling with a spiritually like-minded community shaped her experience. Why the deepest meaning of her journey didn't fully reveal itself until she returned home.

Water meters register the volume passing through them, but what happens when that volume contains both water and entrained air? Anthony Giudice, president of AquaFlow, explains how turbulent flow can influence meter readings and how AquaFlow's calibrated valve is designed to help meters reflect what he describes as true water consumption.    Why Flow Conditions Matter at the Meter  Anthony connects entrained air to the pressure required to move municipal water and the turbulence created as water travels through piping, changes direction, and encounters shifting demand. Because a conventional meter cannot distinguish between water and air within that volume, he says the resulting air-water mixture can contribute to overreading.  The valve addresses the condition from the customer's side of the property. Installed immediately after the meter, it creates a slight backpressure intended to establish laminar flow upstream while compressing the entrained air rather than removing it from the system.    Calibration, Placement, and System Conditions  Each valve is calibrated for its specific meter and operating environment. Anthony explains why valves cannot simply be exchanged between meters of the same size and describes a dual-spring design that responds to changing pressure throughout the day.  Available sizes range from three-quarter inch to 32 inches, supporting applications from residential service to power plants, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and cooling tower systems. Trace and Anthony also examine an important secondary-metering question: where should a valve be installed when cooling tower makeup and bleed meters affect water and sewer billing credits?  The answer depends on the measurement objective. Teams must first identify which meter they want to optimize and how any downstream reading affects utility calculations or sewer credits.    Measuring Results Beyond the Utility Bill  A lower invoice alone does not prove that a valve is performing. Facility activity may change substantially from one billing period to another.  Anthony recommends a measurement and verification reconciliation using 12 clean pre-installation months, the installation month, and at least three clean post-installation months. Consumption should then be normalized against an operating unit such as cars washed, hotel guests, or stadium attendance.  A car wash example demonstrates the distinction. Recorded consumption changed from 16.03 gallons per car before installation to 13.13 gallons per car afterward. That per-unit comparison provided a clearer performance indicator than the total bill, which could rise or fall with the number of vehicles served.  Careful meter selection, operating data, and normalized analysis help water professionals evaluate this technology without confusing reduced recorded consumption with changes in production or occupancy.  Listen to the full conversation above.

Why is everyone talking about CERN? Following CERN's June 2026 announcement that the Large Hadron Collider would shut down for major upgrades, conversations exploded across social media, spiritual communities, conspiracy circles, and news outlets. Some view it as routine scientific progress. Others wonder and speculate if there is something more to it… In this solo episode, Nichole explores what CERN is, what researchers say they're studying, and why it has become connected to discussions about alternate dimensions, timelines, consciousness, and the Mandela Effect. She separates scientific understanding from popular theories, explores why CERN has captured the imagination of so many spiritually curious people, and shares what the angels have consistently taught her about timelines, free will, intuition, and collective consciousness over many years of meditation and channeling. Finally, Nichole shares a channeled message in which she asked the angels directly about CERN, its role, humanity's current evolution, and what they believe is most important for us to understand during this pivotal time. In this episode, you'll learn: What CERN is and why the Large Hadron Collider was built. Why CERN has become associated with timelines, alternate realities, and the Mandela Effect.The difference between scientific research, personal beliefs, and internet speculation. What the angels have consistently taught Nichole about timelines, intuition, and free will. Why discernment is essential when exploring both scientific and spiritual perspectives. A channeled message from the angels about CERN, collective consciousness, and humanity's spiritual evolution. A closing prayer centered on sovereignty, Divine guidance, and personal empowerment.

It's our first in-studio podcast! Be sure to watch the version on the Euphoric youtube channel.  Jessa Frances De La Rosa accidentally became one of the first alcohol-free beverage consultants in the country, helped launch one of the first non-alcoholic bottle shops in the South, and built an entire career out of weaving together things that didn't obviously belong together, until they did. She's also a trauma-informed memoir writing coach, a shadow work practitioner, and someone whose story involves a divorce after 14 years, three kids, prior military service, a master's degree in creative writing in Scotland, the pandemic shutting everything down while she was across the ocean for the first time away from her children, and eventually painting a wall on Task Rabbit that led to the job that changed her life.  We talk about what the alcohol-free beverage world actually looks like now versus what it looked like when both of us first started paying attention to it, what shadow work actually is and why Carl Jung's most famous line might be the most important sentence you've ever read, why memoir writing is the rawest form of shadow work there is, and why awareness alone doesn't create change, community does. We also get into writing, because Jessa helps women write memoirs and I'm in the middle of writing my second book, and there's a conversation in here about resistance, accountability, and what it actually takes to write the thing your soul is calling you to write that I think every aspiring author in this community needs to hear.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What an alcohol-free beverage consultant actually is and how Jessa invented the role from scratch What walking into a non-alcoholic bottle shop in Charleston looked like when it first opened, and what it tells us about how far we still have to go with education Why mocktails with a bunch of sugar and a paper umbrella are missing the point entirely Carl Jung's famous line on the unconscious and why it applies directly to every complicated relationship with alcohol What shadow work actually is, the difference between awareness and integration, and why awareness alone can actually make things worse temporarily Why memoir writing takes you deeper than journaling ever could, and what it means to write as the child, the adult, and the witness simultaneously The childhood associations we form around alcohol before we ever take a single sip Rapid fire: the best alcohol-free drink she's ever tasted, the one book every aspiring memoir writer should read, and what her shadow would be in one word   Find Jessa at jessafrancis on Instagram, thecaimcircle.com, or getuntoxicated.com Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

professorjrod@gmail.comPassing the CompTIA A+ exam becomes less stressful when you stop hunting for 'the right answer' and start asking: what problem is happening right now? This episode kicks off the Technology Tap masterclass for the CompTIA A+ 220-1201 exam, teaching the mindset you'll use on a real help desk response, such as when a user says, 'My computer won't turn on.' It's your practical guide for effective troubleshooting and exam success.I walk through the foundations that show up everywhere on the exam and on the job: the four basic functions of a computer (input, processing, storage, output), the role of the motherboard, CPU, RAM, storage, and power delivery, and the simple troubleshooting steps that prevent expensive guesswork. You'll also get quick practice questions to lock in the basics, plus a study strategy that goes beyond reading once so you can actually explain the concepts back. Then we go deeper into the exam magnets: motherboard form factors and compatibility, CPU cores vs threads, sockets, chipsets, cache, and why DDR4 and DDR5 can't be mixed. We also cover firmware and startup (BIOS vs UEFI, POST, CMOS battery issues) and the storage maze: HDD vs SSD vs NVMe, SATA vs PCIe, why M.2 doesn't automatically mean NVMe, plus GPT vs MBR, NTFS vs FAT32 vs exFAT, RAID levels, and the critical truth that RAID is not backup. If this helps, subscribe, share it with someone studying for CompTIA A+, and leave a review so more future techs can find the masterclass.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

"Offer it up." "I've forgiven them." "Everything happens for a reason." Every one of them is true—and every one can become a way to avoid the healing God is actually offering. In this episode, Dr. Greg names spiritual bypassing: using prayer, devotion, and even good theology to step around grief, anger, and the wounds still waiting underneath. He explains why grace builds on nature, and why God heals only the humanity we're willing to bring into the light. Key Topics: Why the one escape nobody warns you about is the one everyone applauds: prayer, retreats, "offering it up" How "I've already forgiven them" can be completely true and still leave the same wound bleeding for years Why "I'm still discerning" is sometimes just stalling with a halo on it How taking Mary or Joseph as your parent can heal a wound—or quietly become the reason you never grieve the one you actually had Why the anger you keep spiritualizing away might be the exact thing you most need to listen to Why you can pray for years, go to confession after confession, and still land in the same cycle—and what that finally reveals Learn More: Stay connected — join our newsletter Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas Online presentation on anxiety: Learn the "secret" Dr. Greg holds back in this episode—that the anxiety itself isn't the problem  Presence Virtual Retreat: Practice the presence of God and trustful surrender  Integrated Life app: Bring every part of yourself into the light—JP2's meaning of integration  State of the Institute replay: Hear the massive "Year of JP2" news The Personalist Cure: Dr. Greg's book on John Paul II's philosophy and its role in psychology Person and Act: St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyła's) philosophical work on integration and the acting person, referenced in this episode Our God's Brother: St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyła's) play about Brother Albert  Previous episodes in this series on Avoidance: Ep. #286: A Mental Tug of War: Inside the Avoidant Mind and the Burden of Being Known Ep. #287: We Are Not Robots: Why Connection Is Not Optional for Human Flourishing Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Previous episodes on parts work (IFS): Ep. #34: A New Theory! w/ a Catholic Lens Ep. #35: Why Do I Feel Like I Have Conflicting Thoughts? w/ Dr. Peter Malinoski Need help?

Join us as Faye Ellis breaks down what responsible AI actually looks like in practice on Amazon Bedrock - live demos included, straight from her prep for the AWS Generative AI Developer Professional certification. Faye walks through the NIST AI risk framework's core characteristics of trustworthy systems, then demos two hands-on builds: a RAG pipeline using S3 Vectors as a low-cost knowledge base, and Bedrock Guardrails blocking financial advice, prompt injection attacks, and sensitive information in real time. You'll learn the difference between prompt engineering and guardrails, how contextual grounding checks catch hallucinations before they reach a user, why data cleaning and deduplication matter as much for cost and sustainability as for bias, and what Faye wishes she'd known going into one of AWS's hardest professional-level exams.

Christopher Gergen shares how his goal of bringing more capital to systems change led him to supporting the regenerative movement in his role as the CEO of the Regenerative Organic Alliance. We talk about the growth of the movement, including the increase in consumer awareness and the in the number of certified brands, as well as all the new data on the benefits of regenerative agriculture. Chris shares how Regenerative Organic Certified® is different from other regenerative certifications, including their role as a Catalyst Partner in the Purpose Pledge. The conversation then shifts into the biggest barriers to growth that the regenerative movement is facing right now, like consumer confusion, lack of a common standard, the cost of farmer's transitioning, and the cost of regenerative products. We then wrap up with Christopher sharing advice, his favorite regenerative snacks, and what a better world means to him.

Grab my free e-course at: ⁠https://macroandpaid.com/⁠----Before you pay for another certification, make sure you know exactly what problem you expect it to solve.A lot of professionals pursue certifications because they want to earn more money, become more competitive, change industries, qualify for a promotion, or finally feel like they are making progress in their careers.But every certification does not lead to every outcome.Some certifications are required by employers. Some are only preferred. Some may help you enter a specific occupation, while others may simply add more letters behind your name without changing the opportunities available to you.This is why your decision cannot be based solely on what someone on social media recommends, especially when some creators have financial partnerships with the programs they promote.Look at the actual job postings for the work you want.Are employers consistently requiring the certification, or did it appear in one posting out of 100?What opportunities will it realistically create?How much time, money, energy, and capacity will it require?What other opportunities could you pursue with those same resources?A certification is an investment, and every investment should have a reasonable expected return.Before you enroll, slow down and evaluate the decision from a career perspective, not only from a place of frustration, fear, pressure, or the desire to feel like you are doing something.The goal is not to collect credentials.The goal is to make well-informed career decisions that move you closer to the work and life you actually want.

How can we find the Divine in everyday life? Friends, spiritual seekers, and Fairy & Flame Podcast hosts Kasey Hodges and Kathryn Camsey join A Psychic's Story to explore intuition, healing, consciousness, signs from Spirit, and how each of us can cultivate a deeper relationship with the Divine. Is the Divine found only in extraordinary mystical experiences? Or is it quietly present in the everyday moments we often overlook? Is a deep spiritual connection something available to all of us? How do we learn to trust our intuition, recognize signs, and deepen our connection with something greater than ourselves? Kasey and Kathryn share their very different spiritual journeys — from growing up in a Pentecostal healing tradition and rediscovering spirituality later in life to childhood experiences with fairies, psychic development, and a lifelong fascination with the unseen world. Along with Nichole, they discuss why they believe spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life, but about becoming more fully present within it.  One of the most meaningful takeaways from this conversation is that our connection with the Divine isn't reserved for extraordinary experiences. It's something we can cultivate every day by becoming more present, trusting our intuition, and noticing the signs already surrounding us. In this episode, you'll learn: Why spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life but becoming more fully present within it. How signs and synchronicities can strengthen your trust in Spirit. Why creating space through healing and presence allows intuition to flourish. How childhood spiritual experiences can shape our relationship with the unseen. The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a more conscious life. Why the most meaningful spiritual experiences often happen in the simplest moments.  To learn more about Kasey and Kathryn, visit fairyandflame.com.

Anytime I get to sit across from someone who works with energy and the spiritual world at this level, I go straight for the question I most want answered: how does alcohol affect spiritual insights? Dallisa is a psychic medium, intuition teacher, and founder of Spirit and Spark, and her answer to that question gave me chills.  Her explanation is straightforward: everything vibrates at a frequency, and in order to access higher dimensions, your spirit guides, your intuition, or source energy, your own frequency needs to be elevated. Alcohol lowers it. This aligns with what I've heard from shamans and from researchers studying the neuroscience of alcohol and brain connectivity: when the different regions of your brain stop communicating, you lose access to the biggest guide you have, your own inner knowing. We go from there into how Dallisa's abilities opened almost overnight in 2015, why she believes everyone has psychic capacity and what spirit has been downloading to her about the next decade of global change, including what disruptions are coming for education, healthcare, careers, AI, and what's coming for the coasts of North America. We also get into astrology, specifically the North Node, which Dallisa describes as the northern star your soul aimed at in this lifetime, the clue to what you actually came here to do. She pulled mine live in this episode and I was immediately taking notes.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Why alcohol lowers your frequency and blocks your ability to access intuition and spiritual connection How Dallisa's psychic abilities opened overnight in 2015 through a message from a friend's recently deceased aunt Why she believes everyone has psychic ability and what you can start doing today to develop yours What spirit has been channeling about disruption in the coming decade, education, healthcare, careers, and the early 2030s The North Node in your astrological chart and why it might be the most useful thing to look at if you're questioning your purpose right now What Dallisa pulled for my North Node live in this episode   Find Dallisa at spiritandspark.com, with a free gift waiting for you there.

There's a lot of talk recently about whether AI can be considered a person. But the more serious question might be whether people are becoming too much like AI—learning to live without real connection. To keep our distance. To avoid vulnerability. To convince ourselves that we don't need anyone. In this episode, Dr. Greg continues the series on avoidance by turning to schizoid personality: the pattern where the wish for connection hasn't just been buried by fear, but has gone quiet altogether. Drawing on the personalism of St. John Paul II, he shows why we stay made out of relationship, for relationship—even when the desire seems gone. Key Topics: Why "I don't need anyone" can be a wound dressed up as strength How the desire for connection can go so quiet it reads as no desire at all What that flood of relief when plans fall through is actually telling you How being neglected early teaches you to neglect yourself—and call it your personality Why "self-help" was never going to be enough, and real healing needs another person Why fearing closeness and feeling indifferent to it look identical from the outside but run on opposite engines  Learn More: Previous episode in this series on avoidance: Ep. #286: A Mental Tug of War: Inside the Avoidant Mind and the Burden of Being Known Previous episode on attachment theory: Ep. #63: Attachment Theory: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How It Affects Your Relationships Previous episodes on parts work (IFS): Ep. #34: A New Theory! w/ a Catholic Lens Ep. #35: Why Do I Feel Like I Have Conflicting Thoughts? w/ Dr. Peter Malinoski Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. The Voices From the Bench microphones head to the FDLA Symposium for three conversations that perfectly capture what makes this industry so special. Thanks to the wonderful people at GPS Digital RPD, Elvis and Barb got to sit down with longtime friend Morris Fucarino to celebrate an incredible milestone—50 years as a CDT. Morris shares how he found his way into dental technology, what earning certification has meant throughout his career, and why he believes every technician should strive to be the best they can be. From belt-driven handpieces and gold crowns to running a successful one-man laboratory with just three loyal doctors, Morris proves that passion, relationships, and knowledge never go out of style. His stories are a reminder that while technology continues to change, craftsmanship and pride in your work remain timeless. Next, the conversation shifts to Enja Dorjchuluun from Sakr Dental Arts, who talks about helping lead one of Florida's fastest-growing laboratories while serving on the FDLA Board of Directors. She discusses the challenges of managing a lab spread across multiple buildings, the excitement of moving into a brand-new facility, and why giving back through organized dentistry has become such an important part of her career. From developing future technicians to creating educational opportunities and strengthening state associations, Enja shares why investing in people is every bit as important as investing in technology. To wrap things up, Elvis and Barb meet Joseph Núñez Reyes from GPS Digital Dental Lab, whose journey from Puerto Rico to Orlando is fueled by determination, curiosity, and a love for digital dentistry. After leaving biomedical engineering behind, Joseph found his passion in the dental laboratory, worked his way from the model room to supervising a modern CAM department, and now showcases laboratory workflows through social media to inspire the next generation of technicians. With dreams of one day returning to Puerto Rico to build a state-of-the-art laboratory, Joseph reminds us that the future of dental technology is in very capable hands. Ever notice the busiest labs aren't always the ones working the longest hours? They're usually the ones with a workflow that keeps moving—even after everyone heads home. Real productivity isn't about asking your team to do more; it's about having the right tools doing more for your team. That's where Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions really shine. Built to keep production moving whether you're milling a single case or running overnight, they free your technicians to focus on finishing cases, serving customers, and growing the business instead of babysitting equipment. That's what real productivity looks like: more output, fewer interruptions, and less time spent chasing problems. Because every hour your mill is producing is another hour your lab is creating value. If you're ready to get more from every production day, discover what Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions can do for your lab at rolanddental.com.Special Guests: Enja Dorjchuluun, Joseph Núñez Reyes, and Morris Fucarino CDT.

The episode highlights a structural weakness in the current cybersecurity product ecosystem, where the process of certification and lab-based product validation often fails to ensure meaningful security. The episode focuses specifically on how regulatory and certification frameworks—such as those linked to device and software security—are largely decoupled from true technical evaluation, enabling both vendors and labs to use certification badges as symbolic rather than substantive assurances of security. According to Adwait Nadkarni, this decoupling allows manufacturers to treat compliance as a liability shield, rather than as a measure of robust risk mitigation. The most consequential finding, as articulated by Adwait Nadkarni, is that many certified security products can deliberately evade both automated and human review processes, with vulnerabilities designed to look secure while quietly exposing risk. The episode references certification structures such as SOC 2 and detailed research into IoT device certification, finding that certification labs often compete on speed and convenience instead of technical rigor. This creates a situation where certified products may still contain basic, decades-old flaws, with operators and MSPs left without practical recourse when technology fails. Other related developments reinforce the risk transfer created by certification mechanisms. Vendors frequently utilize broad liability disclaimers in end-user licensing agreements, explicitly or implicitly excluding themselves from responsibility for product failures—even in scenarios involving harm or downtime. Adwait Nadkarni points to practices where smoke detectors and other security products use ambiguous language about acceptable use and warranty, further reducing vendor accountability. Labs themselves generally disclaim any responsibility for the certified products' behavior once deployed, emphasizing a system with diffuse or absent accountability. For MSPs and IT leaders, these developments underscore the need to move beyond reliance on certifications and vendor marketing. Operators should critically assess the actual language and protections embedded in contracts, focusing on enforceable liability rather than assuming technical validation from a certification badge. Absent regulatory reform or industry-wide consortia to create and uphold real minimum standards, the practical task for service providers is to minimize exposure to legal and operational risk by scrutinizing the fine print of contracts, seeking clear remedies for technology failures, and tempering trust in vendor assurances that cannot be independently verified.

Join us as John Mark Troyer and Rakesh Gupta break down what AI observability actually means once agents leave the demo and hit production - and why the old playbook for monitoring doesn't cut it anymore. John Mark and Rakesh walk through why errors and latency are just the starting point for agents, how quality became a much harder thing to measure once bots went from answering questions to taking autonomous action, and why token-based costs are creating a confusing new economics problem for engineering teams. You'll learn the difference between online and offline evals, why a new engineering role has emerged just to build testing harnesses for agents, how trace data works differently when every prompt is its own trace, and what teams are doing to catch prompt injection and other AI-specific failure modes before they become expensive mistakes.

Grief is a strange thing to show up for publicly when you're still right in the middle of it, and honestly, parts of what I'm going through right now feel so private and so deep that I'm not even sure I have the language for it yet. But I felt called to share, because some of this might help someone. A few weeks ago I recorded an episode about losing Huxley unexpectedly on Memorial Day. If you haven't heard that one yet, go back and listen first. This episode is what's come after and what I've leaned into to heal and process my loss.  It feels like I'm in the middle of a big spiritual awakening. Something about grief this deep, when you actually let yourself feel it instead of escaping it, has a way of shaking loose everything you thought you knew about yourself. My values, my worldview, my identity, how I want to show up in this work is all up for questioning.  In this episode I'm sharing four specific things that have been genuinely helping me move through loss.   IN THIS EPISODE Why I deleted the games off my phone and started auditing where I was unconsciously checking out The 14 books I read last month and why grief sent me deep into Jungian analysis, shamanic practices, and dream interpretation What dream interpretation has opened up for me, including a dream where Huxley showed me something I needed to hear The signs Huxley keeps sending me and why I've stopped dismissing what my intuition points to The February knowing I had about Huxley's time, and what that's taught me about trusting what I feel even when my logical brain argues back Why writing, including poetry that I haven't written since high school, has been the most healing thing of all What writing my second book from a coffee shop overlooking the ocean has felt like during all of this   Thank you for the outpouring of love and messages since the last episode.

Avoidance looks like not wanting people. It's almost always the opposite: wanting connection so badly that being seen feels like the biggest risk of all. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores avoidant personality patterns through the lens of Catholic anthropology—where the quiet tug-of-war between longing to be known and fearing rejection comes from, and how the difference between what happens in us and what we choose opens a path toward freedom. Key Topics: Why "I just need my space" can be a wall dressed up as a boundary How a childhood full of real love—not neglect—can still teach you that being seen means being blamed Why avoidant personality isn't the same as avoidant attachment, even though they share a name What the text you rewrite four times before sending is actually protecting you from Why even your anger can be an imitation of Christ, not something to hide How the difference between what "happens" in you and what you choose to do can pull you out of hiding Learn More: Previous episode on attachment theory: Ep. #63: Attachment Theory: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How It Affects Your Relationships Previous episodes on parts work (IFS): Ep. #34: A New Theory! w/ a Catholic Lens Ep. #35: Why Do I Feel Like I Have Conflicting Thoughts? w/ Dr. Peter Malinoski Person and Act: St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyła's) philosophical work on the acting person, referenced in this episode Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Got a Question for Dr. Greg?

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Jewish world and real estate correspondent Zev Stub joins host Gabriella Jacobs for today’s episode. We begin our conversation by diving into the Maccabiah Games, which are being held at venues across Israel through July 13. Zev Stub explains how, after last year's Maccabiah was postponed because of Israel's June 2025 war with Iran, the opening of the two-week competition carried an added sense of symbolism and significance. We then examine Stub's reporting on the Israeli Chief Rabbinate's apparent decision on Thursday to authorize the liberal Tzohar Rabbinical Organization to issue kashrut certifications under Israeli law for the first time, following a High Court of Justice ruling last month requiring it to withdraw its refusal to recognize the group. Within hours, however, the decision was thrown into doubt, with senior officials saying the approval had not been properly authorized and therefore had no legal standing. Stub walks us through the competing claims and the possible outcomes. In the second half of our discussion, Stub delivers a real estate snapshot of current trends in Israel's housing market. We analyze how the strong shekel, fluctuating interest rates and rising antisemitism worldwide are shaping buyer behavior. To close, Stub takes us inside "Bat Sheba's Palace," a Caesarea property listed for an asking price of $210 million. With gold-plated fountains, imported stone and nearly 74,000 square feet (6,900 square meters) of interior space, the Versailles-inspired estate embodies a level of luxury once unimaginable in the Jewish state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spirit can be very creative in communicating with us. If we expect a straightforward response every time, we may miss an important message.  On the other hand, sometimes a clear and direct message is the only way to get through to us. In this episode, you will hear several stories of how Spirit communicates with us.  Joining Nichole Bigley for this listener episode is psychic medium, Amber Amrhein, who was on episode 245 – Mystical Realms with the Fae and ET Energy. The two will explore stories submitted by listeners about messages they received right when they needed them the most, for instance: When Dana C's daughters came upon messages of support during stressful times on a tag to a stuffed toy and a seashell. How Jessica B's discovery of a seashell in Iowa brought back a strong message from two years earlier. Kristen G heard the clear warning to “slow down!” while driving one rainy night. How Sara's bold request for a very specific sign turned up in an amazing way. When Taylor received a clear message that was for someone else.   These stories together with Nichole's and Amber's expertise will help you open your mind to see more messages from the mystical realm.  If you have a question or a true spiritual or supernatural story to share, call 1-800-880-1881 or email an audio clip to contact@apsychicsstory.com.

Could restoring your body's natural frequency begin with minerals? Nichole Bigley welcomes Caroline Alan — co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals for a thought-provoking conversation exploring where science and spirituality meet. Together, they examine how minerals support not only physical health, but also the energy bodies, resilience, intuition, and overall state of being. Caroline shares her remarkable journey from childhood psychic experiences, vivid visions, and empathic sensitivity to a life-changing health crisis that led her to uncover one of the most overlooked foundations of wellness — mineral depletion. What began as a search for answers became a deeper understanding of how supporting the body at the cellular level may influence far more than our physical health. Throughout the discussion, Nichole and Caroline explore why mineral depletion has become so widespread, how the body functions as an electrical and energetic system, and why science and spirituality don't have to exist in separate worlds. Instead, they reveal how caring for the body may create the conditions for greater vitality, clearer intuition, expanded awareness, and a deeper connection to ourselves. Listen to hear Nichole and Caroline discuss: Caroline's childhood psychic experiences and the vision that accurately foretold her future. Why mineral depletion has become so widespread — and why it's not your fault. How pharmaceuticals, stress, and modern living can affect the body's mineral balance. Why minerals are essential to the body's electrical and energetic systems. Where science and spirituality intersect in understanding health, intuition, and consciousness. Simple ways to begin supporting your body's natural intelligence.  Supporting your body isn't separate from your spiritual journey — it is an essential part of it. This conversation invites you to explore that possibility through the lens of both science and spirituality. To learn more about Caroline Alan and her work, visit carolinealan.com.
