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.

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.

"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?

What does it really mean for a dental assistant to practice at the top of their scope? In this episode, industry leaders explain why certification is more than just another credential and how it can transform careers, improve patient care, and strengthen dental practices. Kevin Henry is joined by Amber Musser of Aspen Dental and Atia Black of the Dental Assisting National Board to discuss the real impact of investing in dental assistant education. They explore how certification builds confidence, creates new career opportunities, improves workflow, and helps dental assistants deliver higher quality patient care. The conversation also highlights how Aspen Dental supports its teams through structured training, study resources, and career development while navigating different state requirements. Whether you are just starting your career or looking to take the next step, this episode offers practical insights into why practicing at the top of your scope benefits both dental assistants and the patients they serve. ------------------- Dental assistants play a powerful role in whether patients move forward with treatment. You are a key part of the patient journey, and having the right financial options can make all the difference. CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card that offers flexible financing options, so patients can pay over time for the care they want or need, subject to credit approval. When money isn't the obstacle, patients say yes. Want to make CareCredit part of your practice's offerings and strengthen case acceptance?

Ready to learn more about macro social work careers? 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.

Join us as Bob Belderbos breaks down how to actually learn new skills and languages in a world where AI can write the code for you before you've even finished the thought. Bob shares why he taught himself Rust the hard way, how keeping deliberate friction in your learning process protects you from skill atrophy, and why AI is incredible at explaining concepts but dangerous as a crutch for understanding them. You'll learn the difference between using AI to explain versus using it to do, how to structure a project-based learning path with tests as your guide, why coding autocomplete might be quietly hollowing out your skills, and how his Python and Rust cohorts are teaching professional engineers to use agents without losing ownership of their code.

Send us Fan MailIf you think wilderness first aid is only for people deep in the mountains, I want to challenge that. The real trigger for wilderness medicine is time, not mileage: when definitive medical care is more than an hour away, the rules change fast. A major winter storm, downed trees, washed-out roads, and a long EMS delay can turn your own neighborhood into a remote first aid situation, and suddenly you're the highest level of medical care available for your family and neighbors.We walk through the practical difference between regular first aid and wilderness first aid certification, including why the “golden hour” matters and what it means to manage injuries for hours or even days. Think beyond the quick bandage: preventing infection, monitoring a patient over time, and making smart calls when help isn't coming soon. We also talk real examples like a kitchen cut that can become dangerous without proper care, or a twisted ankle that becomes a serious evacuation problem when it happens miles from the trailhead.I also break down what you actually learn in a wilderness first aid course: extended patient assessment, improvised care (yes, splinting with a hiking pole and duct tape), environmental emergencies like hypothermia and heat stroke, and the most underrated skill of all, evacuation decision making. If you're looking for training, we mention well-known options like NOLS Wilderness Medicine and SOLO Wilderness Medicine, plus how to search for remote first aid or outdoor first aid classes if you're outside the US.If you get value from this kind of practical emergency preparedness content, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.https://augasonfarms.com?sca_ref=9315862.VpHzogdDNuAugason FarmsSupport the podcast.

Adoram Leshem is the Chief Executive Officer of Nübrace, an orthopedic aids company he founded after years of knee pain from martial arts, hiking, and dirt biking left him searching for a brace that actually worked. When nothing on the market gave him real support, he spent seven years engineering his own solution.The core problem Adoram uncovered is that traditional knee braces are passive. They stabilize and limit movement, but they do nothing to actively support the leg during everyday actions like standing up, sitting down, or climbing stairs.In this conversation, Adoram breaks down the mechanics behind Nübrace's Power Boost Active System, a spring-based design that absorbs body weight on the way down and releases power on the way up. He also explains why the company is targeting the aging knees demographic first, how mobility loss triggers a broader physical and mental decline, and what changed between the first and second generation of the product.Listeners walk away understanding why an entire industry stayed stagnant for decades, and what it actually takes to turn a passive medical device into an active one.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Adoram Leshem, Chief Executive Officer, NübraceAdoram Leshem's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adoram-leshem-a1a83b/Nübrace: https://nubraces.com/Key Takeaways: • Most knee braces only restrict movement. Nübrace's dual spring system actively absorbs body weight on descent and pushes back on ascent. • Reduced mobility creates a downward spiral: less movement means less blood flow, slower healing, and greater dependence. • The orthopedic aids industry hasn't meaningfully innovated in 60 to 70 years, dominated by a handful of traditional European brands. • Nübrace is HSA/FSA eligible and holds a CE Class 1 medical device mark in Europe, with FDA registration in progress. • The brace doubles as a wearable training device, letting users attach resistance bands to strengthen the quad and hamstring at home. • Nübrace's second generation focused on comfort fixes, lighter materials, adjustable strap length, and a flatter spring housing, based directly on first generation customer feedback.Chapters:[00:26] Introduction and welcome[01:05] Adoram's personal story: sports, injuries, and aging knees[02:01] The injury that led to founding Nübrace[03:24] Why launch another knee brace in a saturated market[04:37] The breakthrough: the Power Boost Active System explained[08:28] Who Nübrace is built for: the aging knees demographic[10:03] Mobility, pain, and avoiding unnecessary surgery[13:34] Certification, testing, and HSA/FSA eligibility[17:43] Product demo: fit, sizing, and what's in the box[21:08] Second generation upgrades, US launch strategy, and what's next[30:10] Closing vision: turning passive braces into active devices

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.

In this episode, we're joined by Solomiya Veturys, BCEN's 2026 Distinguished CPEN, for an inspiring conversation about leadership, mentorship, certification, and the lasting impact of investing in others. With more than 18 years in nursing, Solomiya Veturys has built a dynamic career spanning adult and pediatric emergency care. Her leadership experience ranges from charge nurse to associate nurse manager, and she now serves as the Trauma Program PI and Research Coordinator at Nemours Children's Hospital.

Weddings are one of the only major projects where it's considered normal to skip training and figure things out in real time — and that mindset is quietly costing couples, planners, and the industry as a whole. In this episode, Krisy Thomas and Laurie Hartwell of The CWP Society take on a claim that keeps circulating online: that wedding planning education is optional, certification doesn't matter, and experience alone is enough.They break down why that logic doesn't hold up in any other profession with real responsibility — and why it shouldn't hold up here either. Experience teaches you what you've already lived through. Certification and continuing education prepare you for what you haven't faced yet: crisis leadership, vendor conflict, contracts that actually protect you, pricing that makes sense, and the behind-the-scenes systems that keep a wedding day calm.Krisy and Laurie also discuss the risks of learning by shadowing without foundational training, why coordinators need real planning knowledge — not just wedding-day presence — and what's at stake as AI changes how couples search for, evaluate, and book wedding professionals in a market where anyone can claim any number of "years of experience."If the industry wants long-term respect, stronger vendor and venue relationships, and a healthier marketplace overall, it starts with the standards planners hold for themselves.Subscribe, share this with a planner in your circle, and leave a review to help more professionals raise the bar.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety

Join us as Du'An digs into the real mechanics of running AI locally and in production - from GPU memory math to multi-agent architectures, observability, and the economics of self-hosted inference. Du'An walks through how model weights and KV cache compete for GPU memory, why continuous batching matters when you have more than a handful of users, and how agent architectures like single-agent, workflow, graph, swarm, and supervisor patterns each solve different problems. You will learn how to instrument your agents with Langfuse for observability and cost tracking, when to use Ollama versus vLLM, how prompt caching can cut provider costs by up to 75%, and why GPUs should never sit idle. Episode two of three - the next episode covers deploying at scale.

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.

Lisa Sykes calls herself the Beyonce of the birth world, and once you hear her talk, you understand exactly why. She's the number one business coach for doulas, midwives, and birth professionals worldwide, and she built that entire identity by refusing to do things the way everyone told her she had to. Lisa spent 15 years as a doula after leaving a corporate career in IT following a redundancy and a moment of clarity that sounds a lot like the moment so many of us have around alcohol, a sudden, undeniable knowing that this isn't it anymore. She trained, she built a doula business that booked out in its first month, and eventually pivoted into coaching other doulas and midwives on the business-side of things.  We get into what a doula actually is versus a midwife, why the birth world has historically undervalued itself, and how Lisa built a movement around the radical idea that supporting women through birth is not a lifestyle choice, it's a necessity, priced accordingly. We also talk about her alcohol-free journey, which crept up on her gradually through marathon training in Dubai, and how stopping drinking unlocked a level of clarity and conviction that she says 10x'd overnight. Plus the real conversation about partner objections, and why Lisa thinks the "I need to ask my husband" conversation tells you everything you need to know about whether someone is the right client.   IN THIS EPISODE Why Lisa believes pricing your work as a necessity instead of a luxury changes everything about how people respond The marathon-training path that led Lisa to five years alcohol-free skyrocketing her business How a redundancy and a moment of total clarity led Lisa out of corporate and into entrepreneurship Why doulas and midwives have been historically underpaid, and how Lisa flipped that narrative completely How to handle the "I need to talk to my partner" objection The mantra Lisa and her husband have used through every big risk they've taken   Apply to be our next Thought Leader to master premium selling and thought leader positioning to publish your book and deliver your keynote onstage.  Find Lisa on instagram @lisasykesonline  Euphoric the Club is the premier space to lose the desire for alcohol as you surround yourself with successful women who don't drink (and the women who are becoming them).

Getting it all off your chest is supposed to be healing. But sometimes the venting that feels like relief is quietly feeding your resentment instead. In this episode, Dr. Greg sits down with Fr. Gregory Pine—author of Training the Tongue—to explore why the deepest purpose of speech is communion, and how to tell the difference between working through your pain and simply settling the score. Key Topics: Why the real purpose of speech isn't expressing yourself — it's communion How to tell whether you're venting toward healing or just venting to settle the score Why the friend who only ever agrees with you might be the one holding you back What separates a listener who helps you grow from one who only feeds your anger Why "getting it off your chest" can leave the wound exactly where it was How custody of the tongue is good news, not one more rule to feel guilty about Learn More: Fr.

Ashley Roberts graduated from the 5x Certification and has built something really beautiful since then, a feminine embodiment movement practice rooted in dance, somatic work, and helping women find their way back into their bodies after years of operating purely from logic and achievement. In this episode, we get into what feminine embodiment actually means, because it gets thrown around so much online that it starts to lose its shape. Ashley breaks it down through Marion Woodman's work, through the masculine and feminine as water and mountains, and through her own story of feeling completely disconnected from her body until she went alcohol-free and found her way into a feminine embodiment workshop that changed her perspective.  We talk about what it looks like when someone is operating too much in their masculine: the hyper independence, the need for control, the inability to receive help, and why that pattern almost always comes from a place that once needed safety. Ashley shares how dance became her way out of her head and into her body, what her Monday night movement classes actually look like, and how this work completely shifted her marriage, her confidence, and her relationship with her own sensuality. We also get into the cyclical nature of feminine energy, how to know when softening is actually the right move versus when it's fear dressed up as surrender, and the very honest conversation about how alcohol was Ashley's old shortcut to the same thing dance gives her now, except one of them backfires and one of them doesn't.   INSIDE THIS EPISODE:  What feminine embodiment actually means, and why it has nothing to do with gender roles The signs that someone is stuck in hyper masculine mode, and why hyper independence is really about safety Why dance is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head and into your body How Ashley's marriage changed when she stopped trying to prove she was pulling her weight The difference between healthy surrender and using softness as a mask for fear How working with your cycle changes how you plan your energy across the month Why alcohol numbs the exact thing feminine energy is built on, the ability to feel   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Apply to be our next Thought Leader to master premium selling and thought leader positioning to publish your book and deliver your keynote onstage.  Find Ashley on instagram @sol_beginnings Euphoric the Club is the premier space to lose the desire for alcohol as you surround yourself with successful women who don't drink (and the women who are becoming them).

Your prayer life can be how you avoid healing. In this final episode of the antisocial series, Dr. Greg unpacks why a retreat high or a powerful devotional moment can convince you the healing is done — when the actual work hasn't started yet, and why that work happens in the small, unglamorous moments nobody puts on a holy card.  Key Topics: Why the most moving retreat of your life can leave you exactly the same — and what actually changes you What "magical penance" reveals about the parts of us that prefer grand gestures to real repair Why healing happens in what you do on an ordinary Tuesday, not in the moments when everything breaks open How a soft heart and a defenseless heart are not the same thing — and why that distinction changes everything Why the urge to be "healed already" is itself a form of the pattern you're trying to change Why re-hardening after you've opened up isn't failure — it's part of doing the reps Learn More: Earlier in this series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Antisocial Part 1 — Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Antisocial Part 2 — Ep. #282: You're (Probably) Not a Serial Killer—But You May Share Some of Their Antisocial Traits Antisocial Part 3 — Ep. #283: "I Will Never Be Hurt Again": How Jesus' Sacred Heart Breaks the Cycle The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen — the book Dr. Greg references on accompaniment and the standard of showing up, not being healed Person and Act by Karol Wojtyła (Pope St. John Paul II) Love and Responsibility by Karol Wojtyła (Pope St. John Paul II) Previous episode on boundaries: Ep. #254: Navigating "Toxic" Relationships: Setting Boundaries Without Losing Charity 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?

This episode continues a special series featuring stories and reflections from those who traveled to Egypt with Nichole Bigley. In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Nichole reconnects with her dear friend Christine Schiefer to reflect on the profound energetic, emotional, and spiritual experiences that unfolded throughout their journey. Although Egypt had been on Christine's bucket list since childhood, the pilgrimage became far more than a trip to ancient sites. It evolved into an unexpected journey of surrender, healing, and deep personal transformation. Together, Nichole and Christine explore the powerful emotions that surfaced in sacred spaces, moments of intuitive knowing and soul remembrance, and how learning to let experiences unfold without expectation became one of the journey's greatest lessons. Tune in to hear Nichole and Christine talk about: Surrendering and trusting the journey Emotional healing at sacred sites in Egypt Intuition, soul remembrance, and spiritual awakening The transformative energy of the Isis Temple Letting go of expectations and embracing the unknown Returning home with greater clarity and trust Perhaps the greatest takeaway from Christine's experience is that healing doesn't always come through seeking — it often arrives through surrender. By releasing expectations and trusting the unfolding journey, she found clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to herself. And that invitation is available to all of us — any time and wherever we are. If you feel called to join Nichole on a future spiritual pilgrimage to Egypt, learn more and join the waitlist at apsychicsstory.com/retreats.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle. SUMMARY OF THE ALICIA LYTTLE INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald [ 1. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview was to: Showcase Alicia Lyttle, CEO and co‑founder of Air Innovations, known widely as the “Queen of AI.” [ Educate small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits on how to leverage AI for growth. Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT.
