How do you stay grounded when faced with the overwhelming realities of what's going on in the world? In today's solo episode, we'll explore how to stay in the Miracle Zone amidst the world's challenges without spiritual bypassing. I'll show you how to remain connected to your heart and humanity. And I'll guide you through a breathing practice for connecting with your inner strength and anchoring your body, mind, and spirit in unconditional love and compassion. A lot is going on in the world. It can feel challenging to stay rooted in loving awareness in the face of so much desensitizing cruelty and negativity. Many people feel pulled between ignoring the world's challenges so they don't disrupt their vibration or staying glued to social media and the news. But the news floods you with fear, anger, confusion, and adrenaline. So what do you do? Well, there's another way to stay anchored in possibilities and inspiration without turning away from the challenges happening in the world, and that is the Miracle Zone way. The Miracle Zone way is remaining in and showing up in unconditional love despite the pervasive negativity in your environment. It's a powerful expression of light that our world desperately needs right now. Everyone across the planet is witnessing significant atrocities happening in the Middle East and feeling the collective grief for the innocent caught in the crossfire. And in the face of a monumental level of suffering and oppression, it's natural to ask the question: What do we do? How do we hold space for the hurting and stay sane while moving through the darkness? These are some of the questions we'll begin answering as we explore the tools I have for you today to help you keep your heart open while living through challenging times. Living fully in the Miracle Zone is all about knowing that to shine your light and show up in unconditional love with compassion, unattached to any specific outcome other than liberation, takes courage. In our courageousness, we can be blessed, and, in turn, be a blessing to others. Kindness still abounds and staying hopeful in humanity is the way forward. Join me today for heart-based guided meditation to anchor into a place of love and inner strength and step out of the loop of fear and adrenaline. “May the fragrance of the love that you've cultivated, even in this short meditation, spread across your life and ripple through your community and our world.” - Marci Shimoff    What I talked about:  Staying grounded and inspired amid global challenges (0:50)  Stepping into your power to step out of the loop of fear and adrenaline (2:16)  A guided meditation for anchoring into a place of love and inner strength (4:59)    Opening up to the possibility of miracles through heart-focused breathing (8:23)  An invitation to ground the love and wisdom of the meditation (12:10)      Favorite quotes from the episode:   “When we want to take action, we take action from a place of greater compassion and love when we are emanating love. And when we're sending out blessings, we are contributing to that energetic field. And it's really from the energy of love that miracles can happen.” - Marci Shimoff.  “Only turn on the news when you are already very strong in yourself and you're in a state of great compassion because then you can deal with it in a way that is most helpful. And she said that when you come to find your place of inner strength and compassion, then you become a blessing.” - Jean Houston.    Connect with Us:   Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower  https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/

In this episode we speak with Jason Feifer, the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine, host of two popular podcasts, and the author of "Build for Tomorrow: How to Thrive in Today's Challenging World of Work". With over a decade of experience in the media industry, Jason has become a thought leader in entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.

In a nutshell, it's about tapping into the core interest that drove you to develop the skills that enable you to do what you're currently doing (and are maybe feeling trapped in) • The power in asking yourself “What do I have? What do I need? What's available?” • Evaluating the cost of action vs. the cost of inaction • Framing new things we do as experiments rather than long-term commitments • What people afraid to lose their job/venture in an era of generative AI can do • And much more!

At its origins, crypto was designed to live outside of government regulation. However, the last decade has seen slow but clear frameworks evolve in regulating with Web3. At the forefront of this evolution has been Luka Mueller (MME) - starting from the set up of the Ethereum foundation in Zug back in 2014. In our new episode, we speak to Luka and  Magdalena Boskic (Head of Regtech at Sygnum) about how crypto regulation unfolded and how it continues to evolve as the market grows, covering topics like: Early days of crypto regulation: setting up the ETH foundation How has regulation in the crypto world evolved since 2017 Governing the ungovernable: Regulation by definition is a centralized endeavor; How successful can it be in the world of crypto? We have seen regulators race to keep up with crypto. But do we perhaps need law 2.0 and not just an update of our aging legal frameworks to cope with the opportunities the technology provides? Are smart contracts the future of legal work? Anonymity in crypto: the current political climate has seen crypto be blamed  as a vehicle to circumvent sanctions - what do you think?

The Big Idea: Too often, we're preoccupied with the past and the future, retreading over memories and worries with no real solution or plan. In these states of mind, fear can take over. By increasing our awareness of our own thoughts, we can pull our attention back to the present, reconnect with our hearts, and free ourselves of fear's grip.Why It Matters: We're living in a time marked by intense uncertainty. It's easy to get trapped in a vortex of bad news and endless concerns. But in that state, we're never okay — and we can never solve our problems. We need to connect with our hearts in the now to tap into our strength and resilience.

Here's something you may not realize… officially speaking, the emerging generation are not “the millennials.” Anyone born after 1997 is part of the generation that has been dubbed, for reasons I'm not completely sure about, “Generation Z.” The distinction is more than just one of different names. Millennials and Gen Z have been shaped by different experiences and ideas. Most Millennials can remember a time when the new sexual orthodoxy wasn't orthodox, and people who opposed—or at least were ambivalent about it—weren't called “bigots.” This is much less true of “Generation Z,” who even before Obergefell, were being catechized in the new sexual orthodoxy at school and by mass culture. Even more important—and distressing—is that members of “Generation Z” are leaving the church at an unprecedentedly high rate. Now, I confess that I feel a bit like the boy who cried “wolf” even saying that, given the overblown and often unsupported claims of the rates of young people from previous generations leaving the faith. It's always been “bad”—not as bad as you've heard—but let me be clear: it's worse for Gen Z. And, I'd add, I have significant anecdotal evidence that older generations feel a greater generation gap between them and their Gen Z kids and grandkids. All of this to say, we've got some serious thinking to do about how we can transmit the truths of the Gospel and the worldview that flows from it to Generation Z. To start with: what has worked for previous generations may not work for them. Thankfully, two of the best thinkers and communicators I know have jumpstarted the conversation. Sean McDowell and Colson Center Senior Fellow J. Warner Wallace have just published a book, So the Next Generation Will Know: Preparing Young Christians for a Challenging World. Both writers are already well-known for their ability to make the case for the reasonableness of Christian truth and morality. And while there is some of this in their new book, it isn't the primary focus. The focus is on what they call a “biblical way forward” to confronting the challenges posed by GenZ's lack and/or loss of faith. This “way forward” starts with taking into account the interplay between truth and relationships. As they put it, “doing a better job of teaching truth and making the case for Christianity” is “only part of the answer.” To the “reasonable explanations” that we must offer young people, we also have to add “authentic relationships.” And that can be harder than we think. First, there's a strong temptation to emphasize the relationship part over the truth part. We can be so desperate to preserve the relationship that we'll hesitate to speak the truth in love for risk of offending the person. For example, I do not know of a single biblical or theological authority who has changed their mind on any of the contemporary sexual issues of our day, who didn't have a son, daughter, or close family member struggling with one of those letters of the acronym. On the other hand, these kinds of authentic relationships take work, time, and patience. We can't pre-empt the relationship part and think our job is done. McDowell's and Wallace's “way forward” requires taking this to heart. We must be willing to invest the time necessary and build the trust necessary to get at what the next generation is really thinking and feeling. That's why this book about transmitting a Christian worldview to the next generation includes a section on something as important—and yet as simple as—eating together. This book is a necessary read for parents, grandparents, pastors, educators—anyone invested in the faith of Gen Z.

Statistics show that the next generation views religion and Christianity differently than previous generations, and many young people have questions. Author and apologist Sean McDowell gives tips for raising godly kids in today's world from his book So the Next Generation Will Know: Preparing Young Christians for a Challenging World.
