Bo Snerdley's Rush Hour is a fast-paced daily talk radio podcast covering the biggest political stories of the day. Designed for listeners on the go, each episode delivers sharp analysis, timely updates, and engaging commentary on the headlines shaping the national conversation.

Your energy may be telling you more than you realize. We often notice when the energy in a room shifts, when someone feels “off,” or when an emotion seems to appear out of nowhere. But how do you know what you're actually sensing – and whether it belongs to you? In this episode of A Psychic's Story, Nichole sits down with energy healer, meditation coach, and spiritual teacher Uriel Maksumov to unpack the ways energy can move through and between us, and what can change when we learn to recognize our own energetic patterns more clearly. Coming from generations of healing traditions, Uriel shares how his awareness of the unseen developed from childhood into experiences with energy, spirits, and intuitive perception. He also explains what he calls “energy intelligence” – learning to recognize how energy may show up through emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, relationships, and shifts in our internal state. Their conversation explores how to establish your own energetic baseline, distinguish intuitive information from fear or projection, navigate empathic sensitivity, and work with practices such as grounding, meditation, clearing, and energetic protection without disconnecting from the world around you. In this episode, you'll hear: How Uriel's childhood experiences and family healing traditions shaped his relationship with energy and the unseen. What Uriel means by “energy intelligence” and how becoming more aware of your own baseline can help you recognize when something shifts. How emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, and intuitive impressions may become part of the way we experience energy. How to begin distinguishing something you may be sensing intuitively from your own fear, assumptions, emotions, or projections. Why empaths and energetically sensitive people may find themselves affected by the emotions and experiences of others – and what can help them move through those moments more consciously. How grounding, meditation, clearing, energetic protection, and greater self-awareness can support a healthier relationship with sensitivity rather than shutting it down.

I just got back from five weeks in Europe with my parents, and I want to take you behind the scenes.  My parents are in their 80s. My dad has been through two bouts of stage four cancer and is in remission. My mom, knock on wood, is healthy. How long will that last? How much longer can I see the world with them? This trip happened in the shadow of losing Huxley, my soul dog, which meant I went into it already cracked open, already thinking about mortality and time and what we do with the moments we have. And it turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. We started in Warsaw, flew to Madrid, drove through Costa Brava and the French Riviera and the Italian Riviera in an SUV packed with carry-on luggage only, watched Spain win the World Cup in a medieval town on the Catalan coast, swam in alpine lakes in Slovenia, and ended back in Warsaw where my dad told me stories I'd never heard and my mom said it was all a fairy tale. This episode is more than just a travel diary. It's about ancestry, about what we inherit from the people who came before us, about why now is the time to go do the things you've always wanted to do, and about what grief and presence and awe have been teaching me this year.   IN THIS EPISODE:  How losing Huxley made me show up completely different this summer  The hidden gem coastlines of Costa Brava and the Italian Riviera that barely any Americans know about What it was like to watch Spain's World Cup Victory from the streets of a medieval Catalan town The celebrity sighting we had in a sleepy Spanish fishing village while leaving our phones behind for an evening swim What my parents said at the end of the trip that made every exhausting, hot, logistically complicated moment completely worth it Living in the same Warsaw apartment building where my great-grandparents lived until 1970 The stories my parents told me about their lives and upbringings Why being in Warsaw every year makes me feel the thin veil between the life I have and the parallel one I could have had How this trip fed directly into the second book I'm writing, Emboldened   Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free. Get on the Euphoric newsletter.

Not knowing what comes after graduation feels like failing. It's not. The real problem is the pressure to have it all figured out. Dr. Greg sits down with college senior Sandy Napolitano to talk about the anxiety of life after graduation — where the fear of the unknown really comes from, and why discernment starts the moment you stop trying to force certainty. Key Topics: Why "What's your plan?" quietly writes God out of the decision How the need for a plan can be fear wearing the mask of responsibility Why starting at the end — not the next step — makes half your options disappear Why naming a fear out loud drains most of its power How the experience that changed you becomes the one you most need to integrate Learn More: The Personalist Cure — John Paul II's blueprint for a Catholic standard of psychology Join us in Dallas, Oct 20–23: Summit of Integration Need help?

Many therapists believe one more certification is the missing piece between where they are now and a fully booked practice. In this episode, Heather shares why she spent years chasing credentials, what happened when she finally reached expert level, and why the confidence she expected never came from another certificate. Heather explores the concept of learning as a buffer and explains how continuing education can sometimes become a way to avoid uncomfortable business decisions. She discusses the difference between intentional learning and collecting credentials out of fear, comparison, or the hope of feeling more qualified. If you've ever questioned whether another training is the right investment, this episode will help you evaluate your motivation and refocus on applying the skills you already have. In this episode, you'll learn: What "learning as a buffer" means Why another certification doesn't automatically build confidence How to recognize the credential treadmill The difference between intentional learning and emotional decision-making Why applying your skills creates better client results Questions to ask before enrolling in another continuing education course How confidence grows through experience, not certificates Why building a successful business requires more than clinical expertise   **This podcast is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with an appropriate medical professional.

Armin Winkler (renowned detection dog trainer, international expert) and Cameron Ford break down why current K9 certification standards don't actually validate operational readiness. They discuss why training records matter more than certifications in court, why everyone trains for the test instead of the job, and what real operational readiness actually looks like.What We Cover:Certification is department CYA, not a measure of reliabilityDetection dogs should have OPERATIONAL standards, not minimum standardsTraining records with proper documentation beat certifications in court every timeWhy observers/supervisors signing off on training matters more than a piece of paperRunning multiple dogs in same area: nasal secretions and saliva contaminate everythingThe "cheat code" dogs use when training mimics certificationHow evaluators inadvertently give away test locations through nonverbal communicationWhy environmental soundness testing is critical (traffic, noise, distractions)The difference between ORT (odor recognition test) and operational readinessLottery-based scenario testing instead of rote certification patternsHandler decision-making: the most untested aspect of any certificationWhy SEAL Teams didn't certify but had real resultsTraining for certification vs. training for the street (these are NOT the same)Real-world deployment: rain, night, roadside traffic stopsHide placement strategy: hide like a criminal, not in filing cabinetsThe handler's job: watch the DOG, not the room ("the nose nose")The avalanche dog that found both victims but failed certificationWhy handlers don't see their dogs during searches (looking for hide locations instead)Apprehension dog certification problems (false sits, stress on one-day tests)Free air sniff legality: roadside delays = searches, not free sniffsInternational perspectives: Norway military working dogs, customs operationsThe problem with "master trainer" guru cultureSupervision and training records as alternative to certificationScenario-based training in real conditions (using cooperating officers)Why some agencies (LAPD) use OJT/FTO model instead of certification gatesThe risk of certification standards creating liability instead of protectionArmin draws on decades of experience working detection dogs internationally, including military operations, customs, search and rescue, and avalanche response. He challenges the industry's comfort with certification-based standards and advocates for documentation, supervision, and scenario-based operational testing.Critical Takeaway: "If you're afraid of rewarding the wrong thing during testing, you're not ready to test. You have a bigger problem than that moment."________________________________________

Your connection to angels goes beyond receiving their guidance. It is part of who you are. Angel communicator, spiritual teacher, and author Alisha Das joins A Psychic's Story to explore the idea of angelic ancestry, including what it means to carry an angelic heritage, how we can discover our unique archangelic name, and how remembering our connection to the angelic realm can change the way we experience our human lives. Alisha shares how she began hearing angels and what she describes as the angelic language as a young child, eventually learning to reconcile those experiences with the deeply analytical and scientific perspective she developed growing up in a family of physicians. Together, Nichole and Alisha explore what it might mean to remember more of who we are beyond this physical life – and bring that awareness more fully into the one we're living now. In this episode, you'll hear: How Alisha began experiencing angels and hearing what she describes as the angelic language as a child.  How her scientific and analytical background shaped the way she learned to discern and trust spiritual experiences.  What Alisha means by angelic or archangelic ancestry and why she believes we may carry a connection to the angelic realm into human life.  What an archangelic name is, how someone can discover theirs, and why Alisha believes it can deepen connection to purpose and the angelic realm.  The relationship between angelic language and light language, and why Alisha believes this kind of spiritual connection is available to everyone.  How remembering our angelic nature may change the way we approach purpose, relationships, challenges, compassion, and everyday human life.

Peter McLaughlin was given a twin diagnosis 23 years ago: Lyme disease and leukemia on the same day. The doctors told him if he was lucky, he had 10 years. They didn't know what caused it and they didn't know how to cure it. So he went looking himself. What he found in the depths of his own psyche became the foundation of an entire life's work in hypnotherapy, past life regression, Havening, and subconscious reprogramming. He's been healthy for 23 years. And in this conversation, he shares what he learned along the way, including one of the most fascinating explanations I've ever heard for why we drink. We get into what hypnosis actually is and why the entertainment version of it has given most people completely the wrong idea. We talk about how trauma gets encoded in the nervous system as safe or not safe, and why that single distinction explains almost every self-sabotaging pattern people can't seem to break. We go into past life regression, what happens emotionally when someone encounters a lifetime they consciously have no memory of.  And we talk about alcohol. Specifically, why it's called spirits. What it actually does energetically when you drink. And how Peter uses future progression in hypnosis to help people feel, in their body, the 10-year contrast between two versions of their life, one that keeps drinking and one that doesn't.   IN THIS EPISODE  The twin diagnosis that sent Peter into the depths of his own subconscious, and what he found there What hypnosis actually is, why the entertainment version gets it completely wrong, and the everyday experience almost everyone has had that is genuinely hypnotic Why alcohol is called spirits, and what Peter believes is actually happening energetically when you drink How root cause healing differs from symptom management, and why going back to the origin of a pattern is the only thing that actually resolves it Past life regression: what it feels like from the inside, what happens emotionally, and why the most mundane past lives are often the most moving Havening: what it is, how it works, and why the magic isn't in the tapping The future progression technique Peter uses with clients, and why the 10-year contrast is so powerful Why other people don't give you love, they just trigger the feelings you're already capable of generating yourself The one book Peter recommends above all others, and why he reread it after his father died   Find Peter at blueskyhypnosis.com and on YouTube at Blue Sky Hypnosis, where his past life regression track has nearly a million views.

Trust isn't something you manufacture through effort — it's something you receive through relationship. In this episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro concludes the series on OCPD and perfectionism by exploring why control feels so necessary, how our earliest relationships shape our ability to trust God, and why freedom begins not when we become perfect, but when we allow ourselves to be loved. Because holiness isn't built on mastering the perfect spiritual routine — it's built on learning to rest in the love that has always been pursuing you. Key Topics: Why trust can't be built through more effort, more surrender, or the right devotion How "trying harder" to trust God is actually the pattern itself, not the way out of it How the parts of us that need control aren't bad, but are protecting something deeper Why compassion, not correction, is the first step toward healing a controlling part How self-possession exists for the sake of self-gift — and why you can't give what you don't have Why holiness was never meant to end fear of hell, but to end the need to earn love in the first place How real healing only happens in relationship — not in a program, a podcast, or a novena Learn More: Previous episodes in this series on Obsessive Compulsive Personality Patterns: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Ep. #291: OCPD and Scrupulosity: How the Worship of Rules and Control Leads to the Loneliness of Certainty Ep. #292: Holy Anxiety: The Understandable Underbelly of Scrupulosity Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II Presence Virtual Retreat: Practice the presence of God and trustful surrender  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 Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation 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 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?

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Angelo Keely, a nutrition and protein optimization expert, for a conversation that every woman in midlife needs to hear. The topic? Why protein intake needs actually increase with age—especially during perimenopause and menopause—and how getting this right can be a game-changer for strength, metabolism, and overall vitality. Angelo breaks down the often-overlooked reality of sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass that sneaks in as women age, and explains why maintaining muscle is not just about looking toned—it's about bone health, metabolic function, and long-term independence. He shares practical strategies for hitting daily protein goals without overeating, and clarifies the important distinction between standard protein powders and essential amino acids (EAAs), explaining what the body actually absorbs and utilizes. The conversation also tackles the rise of GLP-1 medications and the risks of rapid weight loss without proper muscle support. Angelo offers straightforward guidance on how to pair these medications with resistance training and targeted amino acid support to preserve lean mass and vitality. Listeners will walk away with simple, sustainable strategies for fueling their bodies for strength and longevity—no matter their age.  Discover how to protect your muscle, protect your health, and age on your own terms.  Check out Kion and learn more at www.getkion.com   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

In honor of National Be an Angel Day on August 22, Nichole shares a special guided angelic invocation and energy integration designed to help you connect with God, Universe, Source and five archangels — Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Metatron. National Be an Angel Day is a reminder to bring more kindness, compassion, generosity, and service into the world — to be an angel in someone else's life. It is also an opportunity to honor the angels themselves and become more aware of the loving support that surrounds us at all times.  The angels and archangels have been an important part of Nichole's spiritual journey for many years. She wrote extensively about them in her award-winning book, Looking for Angels, and continues to explore their individual energies, roles, and ways of supporting us through The Angelic Academy. This guided experience was originally created as part of Nichole's Reiki training and has been adapted so anyone can participate. No previous experience with Reiki, meditation, energy work, or connecting with angels is needed. During this experience, you will be guided to connect with: Archangel Michael — protection, strength, clearing, and sacred boundaries. Archangel Gabriel — clarity, communication, truth, and receiving guidance. Archangel Raphael — healing, restoration, compassion, and balance. Archangel Uriel — grounding, wisdom, illumination, and integration. Archangel Metatron — energetic alignment, sacred activation, and higher consciousness. The experience also invites you to deepen your awareness of Oneness — your connection with God, Universe, Source, the angels, higher self, and All That Is. Please listen somewhere you can safely relax. Do not participate while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires your full attention. And in honor of National Be an Angel Day, consider carrying the experience forward through an act of kindness, compassion, generosity, or service for someone else. To learn more about Nichole's experiences with angels, explore her book, Looking for Angels. You can also go deeper into working with the archangels through The Angelic Academy. To schedule a 1:1 session or explore all of Nichole's offerings, head HERE. If you feel called to become certified in energy healing or go deeper into your healing work, there is one remaining in-person Energy Healing Retreat & Certification experience in 2026: October 16–18.

Imagine pouring your heart into a massive sculpture, only to watch it crash to the floor. What if that disaster was exactly what your practice needed? In this episode of The Create! Podcast, host Ekaterina Popova talks with multimedia visual artist, curator, and educator Rebecca Casement.

Do you really need a team, a virtual assistant, a housekeeper, expensive software, and a complicated funnel to build a successful business? I used to think so. In this episode of Behind the Business, I'm sharing why I followed the traditional advice to outsource and delegate everything—and why I eventually realized I was building a version of success I didn't actually want. We're talking about how to build a lean, profitable business that fits your life, especially if you're a mom building in the margins of a 9–5, homeschooling, raising kids, or simply wanting more flexibility. In this episode, you'll learn: Why hiring help doesn't always solve an overwhelmed business What I learned from outsourcing housekeeping, childcare, cooking, tech, and more Why systems should often come before hiring How AI has dramatically lowered the cost of starting a business What you actually need to make your first sale Why profit—not revenue—is what creates freedom How you can build a business in small pockets of focused time Why coaching can be one of the simplest, highest-margin businesses to start If you've been thinking about becoming a career coach, grab my free Career Coach Startup Kit to explore how you can turn the skills and experience you already have into meaningful, flexible work.

In this episode, I share key insights from my conversations with trainees and graduates about what sets Functional Synergy Yoga Therapy apart from other C-IAYT accredited programs. I break down how focusing on clinical reasoning, assessment skills, and individualized movement patterns allows practitioners to move beyond rigid templates and general protocols to truly meet clients where they are. I also explore our unique approach to persistent pain—moving past symptoms to address neuromuscular retraining, sensorimotor loops, and compensatory patterns. Whether you're looking to refine your clinical skills, build your intuition into actionable observation, or grow a sustainable, part-time business that supports your retirement, this episode offers a look into what's possible when you learn to think like a movement detective.

In Part Two, the “living team” behind A Psychic's Story gets into the woo of it all. After meeting Nicolae Bogdan Bratis, Megan Murphy, and Dr. Scott Guerin in Part One, Nichole turns the conversation toward their own paranormal, supernatural, psychic, and intuitive experiences — from startling psychic readings and childhood spirit encounters to manifestation, animal communication, divine intervention, and possible “exit points.” Along the way, the team explores the many ways intuitive information can arrive, what happens when we listen to it, and how working on A Psychic's Story and hearing hundreds of different perspectives has expanded what each of them believes may be possible. If you haven't listened to Part One yet, start there to meet the team and learn how Nicolae, Megan, and Scott became part of A Psychic's Story and what they do behind the scenes. In this episode, you'll hear: How a palm reader knew deeply personal information about Nicolae — and why he refused to tell him what his future held. The unusual spiritual experiences and beliefs Nicolae encountered growing up in Romania, along with his experiences with manifestation, intention, and healing. How Megan saw a deceased family friend as a child and the other intuitive experiences that began early in her life. How a powerful inner voice helped redirect Megan's path — and the possible telepathic communication she experienced while working with wild canines. Why Scott believes a frightening highway accident may have involved divine intervention and what the experience taught him about possible “exit points.” How working on A Psychic's Story has changed or expanded what Nicolae, Megan, and Scott believe about psychic abilities, spirituality, the paranormal, and what may be possible.

Ellie White's 40s did not go gently. A pandemic upended her life in London and moved her to the Sussex countryside. She fell in love with the idea of becoming a mother for the first time at 43, found out she was pregnant, and very sadly lost her son at 22 weeks. Less than a year later, she had a miscarriage.  She saw a photo of herself on a hiking holiday in Switzerland and didn't recognize the woman looking back at her and knew she needed a change.  She started running. She ran the London Marathon. She trained as a health coach. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, at a birthday lunch when she was 47, she ordered a mocktail instead of champagne, just to see what would happen. She's been alcohol-free since.  Ellie is now a 5x certified coach specializing in wellness and alcohol-free living for women in midlife, and this conversation shows that a relationship with alcohol rarely changes in isolation.  It changes when everything else is changing, when life has pushed you far enough that you finally stop and ask what you actually want. We talk about grief, midlife hormonal changes and why alcohol makes every single one of them worse, what reinvention actually looks like for the women Ellie works with, and what it meant to lose her dog Maddie six months ago while alcohol-free, and to actually be present for all of it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Losing a son at 22 weeks, then a miscarriage less than a year later, and what those losses set in motion How grief became the catalyst for a complete life overhaul, including retraining, running, and eventually eliminating alcohol The birthday lunch decision at 47 that changed her life, and why she describes it as her rebel side showing up How alcohol interacts with perimenopause hormones, progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and sleep in ways most women don't realize What two months alcohol-free has looked like for one of Ellie's current clients The woman who went on a walk on the beach instead of a pub garden and accidentally joined a mermaid sea swimming group What it was like to lose her dog Maddie while alcohol-free, and why she's grateful she was sober to drive her to the vet that night   Find Ellie at elliewhitewellness.com and on Instagram @byelliewhite Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Scrupulosity often looks like devotion — but when fear takes over, even our spiritual life can become consumed by doubt, checking, and the search for certainty. In this episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro continues the series on OCPD and perfectionism, exploring the difference between a healthy conscience and a scrupulous one, why mercy can be hard to trust, and how our experiences shape the way we see God. Holiness was never meant to be an endless audit — it was meant to lead us into relationship with the One who loves us. Key Topics: How reciting the truth about mercy in your head does nothing to change what your body still believes Why certainty about being forgiven is the one thing this pattern can never actually get Why confession, meant to bring peace, can quietly become just another form of checking How the voice you call your conscience might actually be a punishing voice in disguise Why the face you're afraid God is making at you was never really His How the saints wrestled with scrupulosity — and what finally brought them peace wasn't more proof Why doing this work alone almost always makes the pattern worse How the way out can feel too easy to trust Learn More: Previous episodes in this series on Obsessive Compulsive Personality Patterns: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Ep. #291: OCPD and Scrupulosity: How the Worship of Rules and Control Leads to the Loneliness of Certainty Episode referenced on spiritual bypassing: Why "Everything Happens for a Reason" Isn't Working: The Holy Words We Use to Avoid Healing Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II 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 Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation 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 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?

Whether you are a patient looking to safely vet your aesthetic provider or an injector navigating modern aesthetic medicine, this episode delivers unfiltered, clinically backed advice.

Duke Stump shares the origins of Tractor Beverage Co, what they decided to create organic beverages from recognizable ingredients, and their unique focus on moments and ecosystems rather than trying to fit into categories. Discover how their ‘business as unusual' philosophy drives innovation, unconventional marketing strategy, community engagement, and positive impact. Learn about the five metrics they focus on in their Organic Impact Tracker, and get details on their impact initiatives like their Tractor Beam publication, Mad Farmer Tour, We The Soil movement, and the Farmhand Foundation. We then wrap up with Duke sharing insights learned from his past work helping build brands like Nike, Seventh Generation, and Lululemon, and how he defines a ‘better world'.Key TopicsTractor Beverage Co.'s origins and focusThe 'Business as Unusual' philosophyEcosystem approach to brandingTractor's organic impact metricsCommunity engagement and advocacyInnovative product development in beveragesSupporting farmers and soil healthChallenging industry categoriesBrand storytelling and designSound Bites“Why can't beverages be kitchen ingredients?

Ever feel like you're doing all the right things but still stuck in the same patterns? In this trauma-informed masterclass, former CPA turned coach Lindsay Poelman walks you through the five hidden layers that quietly run your life beneath the surface: conditioning, nervous system, story, wounding, and inheritance. If mindset work, journaling, or even therapy have left you feeling like something is still missing, this episode is the missing piece.You'll learn how your subconscious, not your willpower or discipline, is actually steering the ship, and why lasting change starts with becoming fluent in the language of your own body. Lindsay breaks down what each layer sounds like, what it looks like day to day, and the research-backed long-term effects of ignoring your body's cues, from burnout and anxiety to chronic stress, rumination, and shame. Then she shows you the way back: naming your layers, meeting them with a curious, compassionate "gardener" approach, and doing the nervous-system-based, neuroscience-backed, trauma-informed work that actually holds.This is nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, subconscious reprogramming, and trauma education brought together in one place, for every human, not just coaches.Podcast listeners! subscribe here for your exclusive intro price on The Fluent Human Course: https://www.lindsaypoelmancoaching.com/podcastsubscriberTake the free Fluent Human Quiz to discover your most dominant layer, then listen all the way to the end for an exclusive podcast-listener intro price on The Fluent Human Course and Certification.

It takes a village to bring a #1 spiritual and psychic podcast to life. In Part One of this special two-part episode, Nichole turns the microphones toward some of the people behind A Psychic's Story and introduces listeners to members of the “living team” — longtime producer Nicolae Bogdan Bratis, Megan Murphy, and familiar voice Dr. Scott Guerin.  Nicolae has been part of A Psychic's Story since the podcast's earliest days. What began as a freelance production partnership has grown alongside the show, with Nicolae now overseeing the team responsible for much of the audio and video production behind each episode.  Megan shares how her background in podcasting eventually led her to A Psychic's Story and how her role has expanded to include quality checking episodes, show notes, publishing, social media, and other behind-the-scenes support. Listeners also get to know more about Megan beyond podcasting, including her life in New Mexico and her work as a volunteer firefighter.  And while longtime listeners are already familiar with Scott, he shares more about his background as a psychologist and teacher, his interest in the intersection of spirituality and science, and how his role with A Psychic's Story has grown and changed over time. The conversation also looks back at the podcast itself as Nicolae, Megan, and Scott share some of the episodes and topics that have stayed with them most, from numerology and consciousness to extraterrestrials, spiritual experiences, and the mysteries that continue to spark their curiosity.  In this episode, you'll hear: How a search for an audio producer at the very beginning of A Psychic's Story connected Nichole and Nicolae — and grew into a years-long partnership and production team. What it actually takes to produce a weekly podcast while keeping the conversations as authentic and unfiltered as possible. How Megan found her way to A Psychic's Story, the many roles she now plays behind the scenes, and the surprising work she does outside of podcasting. How Scott's background in psychology, teaching, science, and spirituality ultimately led him to become such an integral part of the show. Why quality and consistency have remained priorities as A Psychic's Story has grown into a hit podcast. Which episodes have had the biggest impact on the people who work on the show — and the topics that sent them down their own spiritual and paranormal rabbit holes. Tune in next Wednesday for Part Two, when Nichole, Nicolae, Megan, and Scott get into the woo and share some of their own paranormal, supernatural, and intuitive experiences.  Listen to Nicolae's favorite episodes HERE and HERE. To learn more about Nicolae and his work in podcast production, visit Saspod and go HERE to get started.

Daryl Peterson is a SCWI and the District Director for District 5 of the American Welding Society. This week we  hop in the way back machine to revisit a very controversial topic in the welding Industry. We often hear about welders claiming to be "Certified" and then getting called out on social media as being "Qualifed" not Certified. Well, Daryl has done some deep digging through the different codes and standards and has come up with an answer that will hopefully settle this debate.  For more information on the AWS and their programs, check out their website AWS.org

Michael O'Brien was 33 years old, a father of two young daughters, a lifelong cyclist, and a corporate executive chasing the next version of success when a distracted driver in a Ford Explorer crossed into his lane and hit him head-on at 40 miles per hour in New Mexico. His trauma team had no idea how he survived. His first surgery took 13 hours. He needed 36 units of blood. The doctors told his wife he would probably never ride a bike again, would walk with trouble, and would face many more surgeries ahead. He's now, 25 years later, one of the most thoughtful voices in the mindfulness and presence space, and his framework for how to live isn't theoretical. It was pressure tested for 13 years inside a corporate career before he ever shared it publicly. We connected through our mutual friend Megan Swan, partly because Michael and I have both recently lost beloved pets who were more like family members than animals.  We talk about what it means to take mindfulness off the cushion and weave it into your real life, why microdosing presence throughout the day works better than a 10-minute morning streak on an app, how our phones are engineered to do exactly what a magician does with sleight of hand, and what our animals are really teaching us about how to show up for the moments we have.   IN THIS EPISODE:  What Michael's life looked like before the accident, including numbing with wine every night and chasing the THIS ONE fallacy The question his mentor shared way too early that stunned him The concept of labeling our lives and how it brings us more suffering Why Michael called July 11, 2001 his last bad day, and what that decision has meant for the 25 years since How to take your practice off the cushion versus leaving it there while the rest of your day burns How to microdose mindfulness and the science behind why it works  What dogs teach us about unconditional love, presence, and the length of a life What a nurse from his trauma room told him when she found him on Instagram 20 years later   Find Michael at michaelObrienshift.com and his free app Pause, Breathe, Reflect on the App Store.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell and Santosh Sankar unpack the data center boom and the idea of compute as the next utility powering an “industrial renaissance.” They explore how AI models are commoditizing, shifting value to the application layer, and draw historical parallels to industrialists like Rockefeller and Carnegie in terms of capital intensity, vertical integration, and long-lived infrastructure. The discussion dives into the biggest bottleneck (access to energy and grid capacity) along with underwhelming GPU utilization, the need for better observability and efficiency, and trends like prefab “constructuring” in data center construction. They also highlight labor and skills constraints in specialty construction, tools like Record Lens to digitize field operations, and the potential for a Foxconn-style contract manufacturer for electrical equipment. The episode closes on what excites them about founders in this space: deep problem understanding, real industrial pain points, and the ambition to build in the physical economy rather than chasing AI hype. Highlights from their conversation include: Setting up Compute as a New Utility and AI Data Center Boom (0:38) Why Compute Becomes a Utility and Implications for Trillion Dollar Tech (3:50) Drawing Parallels Between AI Infrastructure and the Industrial Revolution (6:56) Capital Intensity, Supply Chains, and Long Lived Industrial Assets (7:50) Financing Data Centers Like Power Plants and Identifying Key Bottlenecks (11:44) Energy Queue, Grid Constraints, and Alternative Generation Opportunities (12:25) Efficiency, Grid Utilization, and Rising Importance of Operational Arbitrage (15:13) Utilization, ROI vs. Dark Capacity, and Lessons from the Dot Com Era (21:23) Constructuring Trend and Prefab Manufacturing for Data Centers (26:16) Record Lens and AI Native Project Management for Grid Scale Construction (29:24) Idea of a Foxconn Model for Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (32:47) Standardization, Certification, and Cyber Risk in Grid Infrastructure (36:22) Founder Traits, Industrial Ambition, and Solving Top Three Customer Problems (38:00) Gold Rush Dynamics, Real Pain Points, and Building in the Physical Economy (41:31) FInal Thoughts and Takeaways (42:42) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Certainty feels like safety. But you can only ever be certain alone — and the life you build on control slowly becomes a lonely one. In week two of the series on OCPD, Dr. Greg explores why we reach for control when trust feels dangerous — and how the certainty we build to feel safe ends up costing us the very relationships it was meant to protect. Key Topics: Why the certainty that makes you feel safe is the same thing that leaves you alone How a rule can feel safer than a person — because a rule never changes its face Why the control you use to protect the people you love can drive them straight into the danger you feared How devotion can quietly turn into a contract with God instead of trust in Him Why trying harder to get it perfect is the pattern itself, not the way out of it Learn More: Previous episode in this series — OCPD Part 1: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism by Dr. Paul Vitz — on how wounded trust in a father can shape our capacity for faith Person and Act — St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyła's) philosophical work on the acting person, and the personalist heart of this episode Stop Walking on Eggshells by Paul Mason & Randi Kreger — the book on borderline patterns Dr. Greg references 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 Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation 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 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?

Albert Einstein once suggested that “all points in time and space are connected.” In this episode, Nichole Bigley and returning guest Dr. Scott Guerin explore how that interconnectedness can appear in everyday life through stories of loved ones reaching across the veil, energy imprinted on physical objects, past-life memories, and moments when the boundaries between past, present, and future seem to dissolve. Tune in for this lively conversation about the state of the world, how to remain grounded during turbulent times, and listener stories that stretch across time, space, and dimensions, including: Sarah H.'s intuition and energy opening deep layers of remembrance. A blue jay appearing as both a message from a loved one and a warning for Lindsay M. Aaren W.'s experience with a piano carrying an astonishing connection to a famous bluegrass musician. Nikki's introduction to Reiki leading to a vision of a past life shared with her mother. Carol's account of a friend experiencing what appeared to be a time slip during a late-night drive. Together, these stories and Nichole and Scott's conversation offer striking examples of the multidimensional nature of spiritual and supernatural experiences.

Aviation Week's Joe Anselmo, Christine Boynton, Jens Flottau and Guy Norris discuss the long-awaited certification of the Boeing 737-7, the MAX type with the longest range, and also explore how airlines are coping after a tumultuous first half.

Host: Victoria Schneider and Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Elisabeth Sherrell and Lynda Thomas Published: August 6, 2026 Length: Approximately 26 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary What does the future of professional development look like for trade compliance professionals? In this episode, Victoria Schneider and Lalo Solorzano introduce a new monthly Simply Trade check-in with the International Compliance Professionals Association and explore the reimagined ICPA Global Trade Pathways Conference. Victoria, Elisabeth Sherrell, and ICPA co-founder Lynda Thomas explain why the event is no longer simply a smaller version of ICPA's annual conference. Instead, it is being designed as a distinct experience for professionals at every stage of their careers—from students and newcomers to experienced compliance leaders. The conversation covers the conference's new professional development track, which complements technical trade education with practical skills such as leadership, communication, networking, organization, presentation development, and self-assessment. The group also discusses professional certifications, certification preparation through Global Training Center, ICPA's work with University of North Texas students, the importance of building a stronger talent pipeline, and ICPA's expanding educational presence in Mexico and the Asia-Pacific region. Above all, this episode highlights the supportive community behind ICPA—a place where trade professionals can find education, career opportunities, meaningful connections, and people who understand the challenges of the profession. Main Topic / Discussion The ICPA Global Trade Pathways Conference is being redesigned as a standalone educational and professional-development experience rather than a smaller version of ICPA's annual conference. Its programming brings together technical trade education, career development, certification opportunities, networking, and community building. Attendees can follow pathways suited to their experience level while developing the interpersonal and leadership skills needed to advance their careers. Professional Development Beyond Technical Knowledge Technical expertise may help someone become an effective compliance professional, but advancing into leadership often requires additional abilities. The professional development track will address topics such as: • Understanding personal communication and working styles • Developing leadership skills • Networking as an introvert • Delivering more impactful presentations • Staying organized in challenging environments • Connecting personal strengths with long-term career goals Certifications and Exam Preparation ICPA has selected five specialized international trade certifications that address meaningful areas of the profession, including export controls, imports, freight forwarding, logistics, and ITAR. The conference will provide live proctoring for certification exams, but attendees should prepare before arriving. The conference sessions alone are not intended to serve as complete exam preparation. Global Training Center has developed study roadmaps and preparation options, including an ITAR cohort led by Lila Landis, to help professionals prepare for these rigorous exams. Building the Next Generation of Trade Professionals ICPA is also working with students from the University of North Texas supply chain and logistics program. Students will have opportunities to attend sessions, meet service providers, explore employment possibilities, and learn how trade compliance can become a visible and rewarding career path. A Community Built Around Connection Education remains central to ICPA events, but the organization also emphasizes the personal connections created at its conferences. Attendees can meet peers facing similar challenges, exchange advice, build professional networks, discover job opportunities, and feel recognized within a profession that is often misunderstood or undervalued. Key Takeaways • The Global Trade Pathways Conference is a distinct event—not a smaller version of the ICPA Annual Conference. • Professional advancement requires communication, leadership, presentation, networking, and organizational skills in addition to technical expertise. • ICPA's certification program gives trade professionals additional ways to demonstrate specialized knowledge and commitment to the industry. • Certification exams are intentionally rigorous and require advance preparation beyond attending conference sessions. • Partnerships with universities can introduce students to trade compliance and help strengthen the industry's future talent pipeline. • The most valuable part of an ICPA conference may be the community of professionals who share experiences, advice, opportunities, and support. • ICPA plans to continue expanding its international education through conferences in Mexico and a future return to the Asia-Pacific region. Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • 2026 ICPA Global Trade Pathways Conference • International Compliance Professionals Association • University of North Texas • Global Training Center ITAR certification preparation with Lila Landis • International Trade Certification Program • ITAR and EAR education • Import, export, freight-forwarding, and logistics certifications Credits Host: Victoria Schneider Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Elisabeth Sherrell - LinkedIn Lynda Thomas - LinkedIn Producer: Mara Marquez

Psychic ability is part of our natural human design. In this solo episode, Nichole explores what she calls the psychic gene, how intuition communicates through our energy, bodies, emotions, senses, and inner knowing, and why our psychic and intuitive abilities are our most valuable technology and intelligence. Nichole also discusses a pilot study that explores whether psychic ability has a genetic component. Researchers recently found that the original form of a particular DNA sequence is present in the majority of the general population. All of the psychic participants in the study carried that common form. While more research is needed, the findings raise a fascinating possibility – the biological capacity for psychic ability may already exist within most people as part of our natural human design. As we increasingly rely on modern technology, intuition is more essential than ever in helping us recognize what is true, relevant, aligned, and right for us. In this episode, you'll learn: How energy, instinct, intuition, and psychic abilities are connected. What preliminary research suggests about a possible genetic component of psychic ability. Why many people learn to suppress or distrust what they naturally perceive. Why the angels describe our psychic and intuitive abilities as our most valuable technology and intelligence. The difference between intuition, fear, conditioning, and nervous-system activation. A simple exercise for recognizing what your emotions, body, and inner knowing are communicating. Please participate in the guided exercise somewhere you can safely do so. Do not participate while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention.

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!

Send us Fan MailWhat Your Certification Doesn't Prove — Inside AGNP's Credentialing ProgramSign and Thrive Podcast for Notaries | Host: Bill SorokaAnybody can buy a notary certification. All it proves is that you could afford the class and pass the test. It says nothing about whether you can apply what you learned when a real signer, a real document, and a real complication show up at the table.That gap is what this episode is about.Bill Soroka sits down with Lori Hamm, Executive Director of the American Guild of Notaries Public (AGNP) and former Notary Administrator for the State of Montana, to draw a hard line between three things the notary industry constantly confuses: education, certification, and credentialing.Lori spent two decades on the other end of the phone at the Secretary of State's office — fielding calls from notaries who did everything the handbook told them and still didn't know what to do when a situation went sideways. That experience became the foundation of AGNP's credentialing program, the first evaluation in this profession designed to test applied knowledge rather than recall.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe definitions that matter. Education is observation, instruction, and experience. Certification is proof of instruction at a single point in time. A credential asks a bigger question: what have you done with what you learned?Why the test is the wrong measure. Great test-takers freeze in the field. Terrible test-takers often have exceptional judgment. Testing measures recall; practice measures judgment.The E&O insurance data point that stops the room. The highest claim rates come from states with mandated notary training. Bill and Lori unpack what that actually tells us."Finding a way to yes." Knowing your state's notarial acts cold isn't about knowing what you can't do — it's about legally serving the customer in front of you. Lori and Bill make the case that mastery is what lets you say yes.Inside the AGNP evaluation. Commission verification, insurance checks, education history, reference letters, and scenario-based questions calibrated to your specific state's laws — including gray-area scenarios where there is no clean answer, only judgment.Why AI-written answers are obvious. Lori explains how generic responses reveal themselves even after the em dashes get cleaned up.Real accountability. Annual renewal, six hours of approved continuing education, background checks, insurance verification, a signed code of ethics, and a credential that can actually be revoked. Unlike a certificate, which nobody can take back.How credentialed notaries are monetizing it. Members are using the credential to hold their pricing, overcome the "I'll find someone cheaper" objection, and win advocates inside law firms and title companies who fight for them in rooms they aren't even in.Why now. Deed fraud. Notary impersonation fraud. The explosion of remote online notarization and international transactions. Lori makes the case that the cost to the economy has become too large to ignore.Who This Episode Is ForNew notaries wondering which notary training course to take. Experienced notaries stacking certifications without seeing income growth. Loan signing agents and notary signing agents looking to differentiate in a crowded market. Notaries building a mobile notary business, a notary signing agent business, or a specialized practice in estate planning, trust delivery, apostille services, fingerprinting, field inspections, or permit running. Title companies, escrow officers, attorneys, and lenders who need to identify qualified notaries and can't tell the difference from a directory listing.If you're trying to raise your notary fees, stand out from low-cost competitors, get more signings, build referral relationships with estate planning attorneys, or figure out whether another certification is actually worth the money — this conversation is for you.Resources MentionedAmerican Guild of Notaries Public — americannotaryguild.orgNotaryCoach.com — notary business training, coaching, and communityHigh Performance Notary — Bill's coaching program for notaries building serious businessesRethinking the Notary — Bill Soroka's book on the future of the notary professionLegacy Vault Partner Program — for notaries serving the estate planning industryConnectSubscribe to the Sign and Thrive Podcast for Notaries for weekly conversations on notary business growth, notary marketing, monetization strategies, industry standards, and interviews with the people shaping this profession.Leave a review if this episode gave you something to work with.

Have you been feeling depleted, overwhelmed, energetically heavy, or disconnected from yourself and the Divine? There is so much moving through our world right now, and many of us are feeling it—not only collectively, but within our own lives. In this solo episode, Nichole shares a channeled energy healing originally created for members of The Psychic Club during a month centered around Divine Connection. After experiencing the healing, members asked her to make it publicly available so the world could access it, return to it whenever needed, and share it with others who may benefit from its support. This is more than a guided meditation. Nichole also facilitates Reiki, along with the energy-healing modality that awakened within her while she was in Egypt. The healing is intended to help release stress, emotional heaviness, mental noise, collective energy, and anything you are no longer meant to carry, while replenishing what has been depleted and deepening your awareness that you have never been separate from God, Universe, Source. During this healing, you may experience: Grounding and connection with Heaven and Earth. Reiki and channeled energy healing. The release of stress, emotional heaviness, and absorbed energy. Clearing and balancing of the seven main chakras. Replenishment of your energy and restoration of peace, clarity, love, joy, and vitality. A deeper awareness of Divine Connection and Oneness. Please listen somewhere you can safely relax. Do not participate in this energy healing while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention. You may return to this episode anytime you feel depleted, overwhelmed, energetically heavy, or in need of a deeper connection with God, Universe, Source. Join us for more energy healings like this inside The Psychic Club, along with opportunities to explore psychic development, intuition, consciousness, angels, and spiritual growth within a supportive community. To schedule a 1:1 session or explore all of Nichole's offerings, head HERE.

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.

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.

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.
