Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata welcomes Micheal M Hughes  https://www.michaelmhughes.com/, author of Magic for the Resistance: Rituals & Spells for Change to discuss magic in the media and the response from the right to his viral 2017 Binding Spell. How does the right wing grift play out in occult spaces? And why should we worry about what people in the news media and elsewhere are saying about magical practitioners? Luxa also shares an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent centered magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people. Thanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

We talk about goal setting for athletes, how to stay motivated when progress inevitably slows down, and why curiosity might be one of the most powerful mindsets you can bring into training and racing.We also get into patience, failure, consistency, and the traps that stop athletes from reaching their potential.If you're chasing progress in HYROX or any performance-based sport, there's a lot in here that will change how you think about training and improvement.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 11. With the queens back in the workroom after no elimination, Bob and Monét discuss whether Discord was cheating wit the safey pins or just pushing the boundaries. The queens prepare for the roast of Alyssa Edwards, leading to a conversation about whether roasting is essential for drag and if the order of performers really matters. They discuss Myki's strategy in setting the order, whether Nini is relying too much on others' opinions, and how outfits can impact the way comedy is delivered. They break down Darlene's set and share their favorite jokes of the night. On the runway, they review the Swept Away looks, name the best and worst of the week, and reveal their top picks for the crown.

What if the reason you're not landing interviews isn't your experience, but your strategy? In today's episode, I'm sharing the story of Junior, a Customer Success Manager who applied to over 1,000 jobs across 2.5 years and had almost nothing to show for it except a handful of interviews.In this client spotlight episode, we unpack exactly what changed when he stopped using the “spray and pray” approach and started approaching his job search with a completely different strategy. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped him move past anger and rejection, the resume changes that suddenly unlocked interviews, and the outreach strategy that helped him connect directly with hiring managers instead of getting lost in the applicant pool.The result? He went from averaging one interview a month to multiple interviews in just a few weeks and signed a job offer in about 90 days.If you're ready to stop sending out endless job applications and finally understand what actually gets results in a competitive job market, hit play to hear the strategy shift that made all the difference.And if you're tired of applying to jobs and hearing nothing back, apply for coaching HERE and let's fix your strategy together.00:28 – Why "Spraying and Praying" Your Resume Leads to Burnout, Not Results02:54 – The Emotional Toll of Layoffs and Why Mindset Shifts Are Critical for Job Search Success05:16 – How Applying to Over 1,000 Jobs Led to Only 20 Interviews (and What Had to Change)11:02 – The Game-Changing Impact of a Professionally Written, Targeted Resume12:35 – Why Targeted Outreach (Not Just More Applications) Opened New Doors for Junior15:15 – What Most Job Seekers Get Wrong When Messaging Recruiters on LinkedIn17:08 – How Consistent Interview Practice (and Feedback) Turned Rejection Into Confidence18:55 – Why Overpreparation for Interviews Is About Confidence, Not Sounding Rehearsed24:17 – The Mindset and Community Support That Helped Junior Land a Role in Just 90 DaysEPISODE LINKS:Connect with Junior on LinkedInFREEBIES & RESOURCES:

A political science major at a major university was having coffee with a campus pastor. The pastor knew that the student was wrestling with doubt about the existence of God and said to him, “John, you know all of us wonder at some point if it's all real, or not. For example, there are quite a few stories in the Bible that are just hard to believe — Jonah and the whale and all that.” John smiled and said, “No, that's not my problem. What I wonder about is how God could care about me. I've done some really bad things and have had some really bad things done to me. I just can't understand the concept of forgiveness.” There you have it. Doubts about the faith come from all directions. While one person cannot bring herself to believe in miracles, another cannot forgive himself for the wrong things he's done — and can't fathom how God could. Thomas Jefferson actually cut out the miraculous sections of the Bible. He couldn't believe in what some would call the God of the Bible. Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA, thought that Christianity was just a collection of mythical stories. And what about those who want to see the proof? They like evidence and feel a need to make an intellectual case for our faith. The New Testament writer, Luke, was like that. He wrote in Acts and the gospel of Luke about the importance of eyewitness sightings of Jesus and His miracles. Lots of people debate whether evolution and religion are compatible or not. And this is a big stumbling block to believe for many. We all believe something, but our minds can struggle at times to grasp the big stuff, the infinite universe, while for others who doubt, the struggle is more internal. They're so grieved by their own sin they can't accept that God could love them. Maybe the most famous verse in the Bible is John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” However, few quote the next verse, which says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” It isn't God's wish to condemn you. Instead, He loves you and wants to give you assurance that life is more than struggle and molecules. Whether you're looking for evidence to believe the Bible, or you just need to know that God loves you, try not to focus too much on your objections. Own them, but just tell God, as a child would, that you're struggling to understand it all. Will you pray with us? Father, your grace saves us from a life of struggle with sin, and we are accepted by you. Thank you for putting up with our up and down faith. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Is what you are currently choosing in relationships working for you? If not, that's on you! You're the one who has to choose. What if your lover could be even greater? What if you asked for more? This is your life, what if you truly, truly lived?  In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks about ways to create relationships that work for you as she answers relationship questions from listeners. She asks, what if you have all of you, you choose everything that works for you, and you invite someone into our life to have something different, to be something greater? That's relationships done different, rather than as per this reality. Enjoy every choice you make and enjoy the moments and the experiences that you have with you, your body, and with somebody else! Questions And Tools: "What would it take to have creationships in my life?" "How did I create this?" "What am I arguing for?" "What's actually going to work?" "Would I prefer to be right or to be free?" "How can we do this different? Is there anything we can change here?" "Have we done what we were meant to do together?" Tools: Ask for more ease: "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." Learn to choose different and learn to choose what works for you. Nothing you are choosing is wrong. Have total allowance of your partner and what they are choosing, and of you and what you are choosing. Look for somebody who would be a contribution to your life and living rather than 'the one'. Share different things with different people, e.g. friends, and not expect it all from your partner Use energy pulls and flows. instead of I'm right, you're wrong, "What's actually going to work?" if you can't find what will work between the two of you, ask a friend what are you making matter and so relevant that is keeping you from this amazing beautiful energy that you can be with someone and create a space that is filled with with possibilities and filled with contribution and filled with gratitude? If you can't change something, is it time to move on? What does 'the one' mean to you? Everything that is, times a godzillion,  will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. What if everything you've been told about finding 'the one' is a lie? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POC and POD, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.   As Mentioned In This Episode: The 5 Elements of Intimacy recorded class with Simone: https://www.simonemilasas.com/offers/JBjkXvx4/checkout  Relationships Done Different online with Simone: https://www.accessconsciousness.com/en/class-catalog/access-special-classes/relationships-done-different/relationships-done-different_639064055088492044/details/  Useful Links: The Clearing Statement explained Access Consciousness Website Choice, Change & Action Podcast Instagram Follow Simone Milasas Simone's Website Simone's Instagram Simone's Facebook Simone's YouTube Simone's Telegram Simone's Contact Email  Play with Simone Milasas The Profit Club membership Getting Out of Debt Joyfully Taking Action online video course All Upcoming Classes with Simone Past Class Recordings

In this episode of The Feminine Frequency, we sit down with Jen Underwood, a somatic expert and "relationship business coach," to deconstruct the traditional hustle-culture definition of capacity. We're moving beyond the industrial-age idea of output and diving deep into the intersection of nervous system regulation, emotional bandwidth, and narrative power. Jen shares her powerful journey from being a solo mom on welfare to building a thriving coaching empire, and how she helps women stop the cycle of "push and collapse" to find a sustainable, soulful flow.Themes:Why capacity isn't just about how much you can do, but how much you can hold across three pillars: Change(productivity/risk), Emotional (presence/intimacy), and Narrative  (resilience/reactivity).Viewing your business not as a machine, but as an interdependent relationship. How do we balance our needs, the business's needs, and our clients' needs without falling into codependency?The courage it takes to clear the table, let go of programs or habits that no longer serve you, and create a blank slate for your next level of expansion.Moving beyond "cute" mindset work to understand how the stories we believe (like being "shadow-banned") can either empower us or keep us in a victim cycle.Why a "boundary" isn't a rigid rule, but a self-honoring practice that should shift with your seasons, your cycle, and your life changes.A Permission slip to blend luxury with productivity. How to meet the needs of your business while honoring your body's need for rest (yes, you can record audios from the tub!).Finding the "Emotional Dominatrix" energy—the balance between a firm back (discipline) and a soft front (grace).SPECIAL OFFER:

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Brett Harned, founder of the Digital PM Community and the Digital PM Summit, and author of Project Management for Humans: Helping People Get Things Done. Brett has spent years coaching project leaders and helping organizations rethink what project management really is. His core conviction: the human side of the work is not a nice-to-have. It is the work. In this conversation, you'll hear how Brett fell into project management and what early experiences shaped his perspective on people and projects. You'll learn the patterns he sees repeated across teams and industries, practical habits for when projects feel messy or start to drift, and why he believes project management is a leadership role that most organizations still undervalue. Brett also shares his candid take on AI, what it can and cannot do for project leaders, and what advice he would give his younger self. If you lead projects or teams, whether or not you have a PM title, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Often with PMs, it's finding or receiving or feeling the permission to lead like a human instead of like a machine or a robot." "Projects fail because conversations didn't happen or they happened way too late." "Project management is a leadership role and too often organizations don't see it as a leadership role the way that they should." "Project managers are quietly carrying emotional labor that no one really acknowledges." "You can't earn trust by being invisible." "The role has become less about task tracking and more about judgment, good communication and trust building." "If you call people on your team resources, they have every right to call you overhead." "Slowing conversations down before speeding up the work is like the biggest thing." "Drift isn't usually about effort. It's about misaligned understanding." "AI is not going to replace a really good leader." "AI is great at admin. It's terrible at the leadership stuff. It can't read the room, it can't navigate tension, it can't earn trust." "Say the thing now. Saying something early is almost always safer than saying it too late." "The job of a project manager isn't to absorb chaos. It's to make it a conversation." "Caring about people and building relationships is a skill, and it's a skill that's necessary for this career."

For more learning on this topic, check out: Episode 336 with Clint Padgett. During the interview with Brett, Andy mentioned the weakness of using only percent complete or status colors. That's something Clint and Andy talked about in episode 336. Episode 99 with Mike Roberto. The topic of conflict came up several times in this discussion. In episode 99, Mike and Andy talk about managing the tension between conflict and consensus. It's a discussion worth hearing, especially if you grew up thinking conflict is mostly a negative. Episode 500 with Steve Brown, former Google DeepMind futurist. Andy and Steve talk about AI and the future of work, and it's a discussion highly recommended for anyone leading projects today.

Nobody tells you that curiosity is a skill. Or that humor can be built. Or that the way you think is quietly deciding everything. Most of us are running on borrowed opinions — System One thinking dressed up as personality. We consume the same content, absorb the same views, and wonder why we feel forgettable. This episode breaks down five traits that genuinely change your trajectory: deep thinking, curiosity, uniqueness, humor, and enthusiasm. Not as abstract ideals — as practical, buildable skills that compound over time. Sam shares real frameworks, a few uncomfortable truths about how your algorithm is quietly shaping your identity, and why the most interesting people in any room aren't born that way. Train your attention like a muscle — distraction is the enemy of deep thought Curiosity isn't fixed; it's a lens you can deliberately apply to anything Humor follows rules — and once you know them, you can actually get funnier The traits that change your life are the ones nobody thought to teach you — until now.

Unlock the full potential of astrology in New Moon Alignment at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/newmoonThe word "crisis" originally stems from a Greek root meaning "decision," "judgment," or "turning point". In this episode, I explore why identity crises are one of the most common reasons people seek out astrology and how these moments serve as essential crossroads in our lives. We dive into the "Big Three" of your birth chart—the Ascendant, Moon, and Sun—and how they define your internal sense of self, your emotional adaptability, and your consistent spirit. We also discuss the major astrological checkpoints that trigger these shifts, including the current Ketu in Leo transits of 2025–2026, dasha changes, and eclipse cycles. By moving from the "sameness" of identity (Prakriti) toward the formless awareness of spirit (Purusha), we can transform a crisis into a powerful opportunity for conscious evolution.QUOTES“The three most common reasons that somebody comes to astrology are curiosity, clarity, or a crisis.” “When we have an identity crisis, we need to make a choice. Do we want to stay the same or do we want to change things?” “The eclipses are like moving into a new act of life. Our life is not three acts, but dozens and dozens of acts.” “A lot of spiritual work is connecting to the spirit over the form—the Purusha rather than the Prakriti.” TIMESTAMPS00:00 The Etymology of Crisis: Decision and Judgment 01:02 My Personal Identity Crisis Finding Vedic Astrology 01:27 Defining Identity: The Latin Root of "Sameness" 02:07 The Big Three: Ascendant, Moon, and Sun 03:07 The Sun vs. The Moon: Consistency vs. Change 04:51 2025–2026 Eclipses: Ketu in Leo and Identity Shifting 06:25 Moving Toward Community Values with Rahu in Aquarius 07:20 Life in Acts: How Eclipses Mark New Chapters 08:34 Major Life Turning Points: Dashas and Dasha Sandhi 11:06 Checkpoints for Challenging Identity: Big Four Transits 12:36 The Muntha Point: Your Personal Theme for the Year 14:32 Purusha and Prakriti: Spirit vs. Form 16:45 Shedding Skin: When a Cycle Has Closed 17:49 Balancing Doshas: Variety vs. Controlling Sameness 19:23 Intentional Identity: Breaking Habits and New Roles 23:03 The Healthy Evolution of Identity as We Age KEYWORDSVedic astrology, identity crisis, Big Three, Ketu in Leo, Rahu in Aquarius, Dasha Sandhi, Purusha, Prakriti, Jyotish, eclipse season 2026, self-awareness, spiritual growth.FREE RESOURCES⭐️ Free Birth Chart: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchart⭐️ Free Horoscopes: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopes⭐️ Podcast (Spotify, Apple, etc): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/astrology⭐️ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrology⭐️ YouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeWORK WITH ME⭐️ Book a Reading: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading⭐️ Decode Your Chart: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101⭐️ Mentorship: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipQUIETMIND YOGA⭐️ Yoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingNEXT STEP⭐️ Unlock the full potential of astrology in New Moon Alignment at ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/newmoon⁠

God does things on a big scale, but He's also in the details. He knows our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and every detail of our lives. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”In Ecclesiastes, God spends considerable time speaking to our innermost needs. Through the stories of Paul and the apostles, we see that He cares about our physical needs and comforts us in times of danger.The diversity of God's intervention is awesome! Hannah couldn't have children, but she prayed, and the Lord answered her…blessing her with six children! Gideon was facing an army much larger than his own, but God told him everything would be okay — and it was! Down through time and into the present, God speaks to us with words of comfort and courage. He is actively working in our lives now, and always. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét discuss how long you can look into a neighbor's yard or window before it gets weird. They swap stories about what they've seen people doing through their open windows while Monét proposes buying a brownstone together. They also talk game tables, people pleasing, turning down help, Monét's school somehow having no PE class, and if Bob was the only one who took the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. They get into what really makes someone cool and whether cool people are actually cool or just cringe. Thanks to our sponsors: Book your next experience on Airbnb!  Visit ⁠⁠WaldenU.edu⁠⁠ today.

Getting into war is easy. Getting out of a war is another issue. Regardless of how we see the events that led us into the war with Iran, we cannot afford another sustained war in the Middle East. We need to be looking for off ramps, and those will not be easy. Change is before... that will transform the way we are viewed in the world and how we see ourselves.

Measure effort, not just outcomes. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why tying self-worth to results creates a fragile foundation for growth. Drawing from years of coaching, personal struggles, and thousands of episodes, they explain why confidence is built through controllable actions such as effort, courage, and keeping promises to yourself.This conversation reveals the hidden gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, and why small courageous decisions often become the moments that change a life.

Today I'm joined by returning guest Tiffany Hawk - author, book coach, and longtime collaborator - to talk about why sharing your story matters, especially when you don't feel ready.We explore how many accomplished professionals get stuck in what I call the “expert trap”, relying on expertise and credentials while holding back the personal stories that actually create connection.Tiffany shares insights from her work helping women write meaningful books, along with her own journey of returning to writing after years of self-doubt.We also talk about the messy reality of creativity, why the first draft is rarely pretty, and how community and accountability can make all the difference when you're working on a book, talk, or other thought leadership project.This conversation is especially meaningful during Women's History Month, as we reflect on the power of women using their voices to tell the stories that shape culture and create change. Tiffany and I talk about:Why expertise alone doesn't create connectionThe role of vulnerability in thought leadershipWhy you shouldn't wait until your ideas feel perfectHow storytelling helps audiences see themselves in your messageThe creative process behind writing a bookWe also share details about our Story to Spotlight writing and speaking retreat in Spain this Fall 2026, where we'll help women develop their ideas, stories, and thought leadership in a supportive environment.

The Bible is full of stories of God doing amazing things for those He calls. One of the most famous seems to be good to be true, but it is!Daniel, God's man in exile in Babylon, insisted on worshipping the Lord, and not a human king. This was against the law. When those who were jealous of him urged the king to punish Daniel, the prophet was thrown into a lion's den overnight.And that was that. Or was it?The next morning, the king was so anxious about Daniel that he ran to the den and called out to him to see if he was still alive.Daniel 6:21–22 says, “Daniel answered, ‘May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.'”When life threatens to rip you up, remember that the Lord has you. God is on your side, knows where you are, and will hide you in the palm of His strong hand.Believe that He will.Let's pray.Lord, this story inspires us to rely on you when times are really bad for us. Thank you for being our rescue. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Send a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we examine why social situations can feel strangely exhausting or high-stakes. Many people assume the problem is confidence, personality, or saying the wrong thing. But sometimes the real influence started long before the conversation even began.Early roles, relational dynamics, and subtle psychological patterns can quietly shape how we enter rooms, interpret people, and navigate belonging. Once those patterns become visible, social interactions stop feeling random. And suddenly, the rules of the room look very different.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#459 | What Your Family System Role Says About You - https://apple.co/4qma0n1 #417 | Healing from the Loneliness Epidemic - https://apple.co/4nyO6eD #437 | Anxiety Isn't Always in Your Head - Here's Why - https://apple.co/4cP9lH0Learn more about:

Over the past few weeks I have been talking with so many mamas who are teetering on the edge of giving up on homeschooling. They are feeling discouraged and defeated, wondering if their kids would be better off somewhere else. Not necessarily because it's what is best for the kids, but because they are tired.   Tired of fighting with their kids about sitting still or staying focused.  Tired of no one listening, and constantly being interrupted. Tired of making all the decisions, just to have their plans thwarted. Tired of trying all day, day after day, and not seeing the progress they'd hoped for by now.   In today's episode I'm sharing some of the coaching I've been offering these mamas who actually want to keep homeschooling, but don't want to keep dealing with all the hard stuff. We're focusing on progress over perfection. A rule for making decisions when you're feeling down. How to evaluate calmly and fairly so you don't quit on a bad day. And I'm going to share with you my prayer to filter your decisions during this season through the Holy Spirit. If you've been feeling discouraged in your homeschooling journey lately and need a little reset for your heart, some tools to keep on keeping on, and process to know if it's time to end this season of your life, please grab your earbuds and join me for: When to Quit, Make a Change, or Stay the Course.   Grab your free resource here: 30 New Thoughts to Think (to Put a Bad Homeschool Day in Right Order) Come work with me in the Happy, Holy Mama Membership!  

Maung Sawyeddollah grew up in a small town in Myanmar where, for years, life felt ordinary. That was before the rumors began. Social media fueled sectarian division, communities turned against each other. Then the soldiers arrived. It was a balmy night in August 2017 when Maung first heard the sound of gunfire. His family was forced to make an impossible choice: stay in the home they love or embark on a perilous journey to Bangladesh. They grabbed a few belongings and fled.Through Maung's extraordinary story—from fleeing for his life in Myanmar to attending the prestigious New York University—this episode explores the moment Maung's family made the fateful decision to abandon their home, and the heart-wrenching decisions millions of people face when the world they know becomes unlivable.The Great Unrooting begins with one life, and opens onto a global story of displacement, resilience, and hope.Maung Sawyeddollah: Agent of Change, Rohingya MuslimMausi Segun: Executive Director of the Africa Division at Human Rights WatchNadia Hardman: Researcher, Refugee and Migrant Rights Division at Human Rights WatchKyle Knight: Associate Director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights WatchBelkis Wille: Associate Director of Crisis & Conflict division at Human Rights Watch.

What if having too many ideas is the real reason you are not making progress?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge a common belief in personal development. Many people think success comes from creativity and new ideas. But without execution, ideas quickly turn into distractions that stall real growth. They break down why chasing the next concept can feel productive while quietly preventing long-term results. This conversation explores the psychology behind endless ideation, the dopamine hit of talking about goals, and why the uncomfortable middle of execution is where most people lose momentum. If you feel busy but not moving forward, this episode may explain why._______________________Episode Reference:#632 - The Art of Impossible With Steven Kotler Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

When navigating difficult seasons—both personally and collectively—how do we stay aware without falling into despair?In today's episode I share a few updates (featuring Milo) and then talk about what it means to walk the middle path during uncertain times.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this conversation, Jaclyn Orent discusses the paradox of leadership isolation, the importance of resonant relationships, and the journey to becoming a cultural catalyst. She emphasizes the need for leaders to connect with peers who share their vision and values, and how this connection can fuel personal and cultural change. The discussion also touches on the role of transparency in leadership and the quest for fulfillment beyond traditional success metrics.Main Points:Many leaders feel isolated at the top despite their success.Authentic connections can transform leadership experiences.Resonant relationships are crucial for effective leadership.Cultural catalysts can drive systemic change.Peer relationships provide the necessary support for leaders.Transparency fosters trust and collaboration in organizations.Leaders must connect with their ideal vision of self.Fulfillment comes from within, not from external achievements.Creating a culture of permission can enhance organizational growth.Legacy is about empowering others to become cultural catalysts.Connect With Jaclyn Orent:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kovaorent/https://www.facebook.com/kova.orentkovaorent@gmail.com

The world is reeling from the New Supreme Leader's first official message, but the mainstream media is completely missing the terrifying subtext hidden in his words. Today, we're decoding the exact English phrases he used to reveal the shocking truth behind this historic address.

We head east to the legendary Gaspé coast for an unforgettable adventure chasing striped bass and Atlantic salmon. It was our first time exploring the region, except for Aldo who had been before - and the experience lived up to every bit of the hype. We were joined by our good friends Junior and David, and together we fished the rivers and coastal waters of the Gaspé while taking in the rugged beauty that makes this place so special. Along the way, we also filmed a short documentary called This Is Ours, which tells the story of the Gaspé Coastal lodge and the people connected to it. The film is currently touring in the PALM Festival and the Scale of Change festival, and this trip became a big part of that story. In this episode, we talk about first impressions of the Gaspé region, what it was like targeting striped bass and salmon in such an iconic fishery, the moments that stood out from the trip, and how the experience shaped the film. From road-trip laughs to powerful days on the water, this conversation captures the spirit of a place that quickly left its mark on all of us. If you love travel, fishing, and the stories that come from chasing fish in new places, DON'T MISS THIS EP! Special thanks to Junior and David for working their butts off to capture the film and content. AND to the fab people at Gaspé Coastal. WE LOVE YOU!

In this episode of Next Level University, Kevin and Alan unpack a truth many people miss about success. It often works like a paradox. The same principles that drive real growth can sound contradictory at first. You must fail to succeed, work hard before you can work smart, and care about results without tying your identity to them.Drawing from years of coaching, thousands of podcast episodes, and their own experiences building businesses and reaching major goals, Kevin and Alan explain why progress rarely feels the way people expect. The people who grow the most are the ones who learn to hold two opposing truths at the same time. If success has ever felt confusing, this episode may shift how you think about growth._______________________Learn more about:Join Next Level Live: Level up your life in 2026.

Conversion at the Well: Change of Heart, Change of Life The Conference and reflection centers on the Gospel story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman. The reflection explains that the story reveals two kinds of thirst: the human thirst for meaning, acceptance, and fulfillment, and God's thirst for humanity. Spiritual life begins not with our search for God, but with God seeking us. The Samaritan woman represents every person. She comes to the well physically thirsty but also carrying deeper needs . . . acceptance, forgiveness, belonging, and a new beginning. Because of her past relationships and the judgment of others, she lives in isolation and comes to the well at noon to avoid people. Jesus approaches her without judgment and asks for a drink. Their conversation gradually reveals who he truly is. The woman's understanding grows step-by-step: she first sees Jesus as a man, then a Jew, then a prophet, and finally recognizes that he may be the Christ, the Savior of the world. Jesus speaks the truth about her life, but without condemnation, showing that truth expressed with love can lead to healing and inclusion. Jesus offers her “living water”, symbolizing the grace that satisfies the deepest thirst of the human soul and leads to eternal life. Once she experiences this encounter, she leaves her water jar behind—symbolizing that her deeper thirst has been met—and becomes a missionary, telling others about Jesus. Many people come to believe in him because of her testimony. The message of the reflection is that each person is like the Samaritan woman, searching for fulfillment in many places. Jesus meets us at the “well” of our own lives and offers the living water that truly satisfies. God does not choose people because they are morally perfect but because they have a thirsting heart open to him. Listen to this devotional Lenten Retreat Conference and let it transform your heart.

MJ and Jackie are back for another scoop of Second Helpings, Jackie and Natalie couldn't find a good radio station in Dallas, but Travis sure knows the (contemporary christian alt rock) hits. MJ's lookin' 2 find god or at least a choir that doesn't JUDGE. The "Desperate Housewives" watch along is bringin' up memories of the college admissions scandal with plotline that is dead on the same, Felicity Huffman's kid is gonna be in "Rooster" with Apple Paltrow, and we can all watch Steve Carrel play a daddy character who must CHANGE...again.... Jackie and MJ finally watched THE Buffy episode and you can join the Patreon to see their real-time reactions PLUS a much needed talkback that happened right after!  The new reality show "Age of Attraction" has piqued the interest of both Jackie and MJ, and then we gotta talk about the Megxit that's beginning with Netflix and Meghan Markle. Jackie's keepin' up with “House of Villains”, at least until New York gets kicked, MJ's comin' around on Rob Rausch now that “Traitors” has ended and they've spent that time learnin' more about ol' Snakeman and his Muscle Zaddy. Then it's goin' right from Birkin bags into the new Fukushima doc she just watched that she def recommends more than the other radioactive mess, “The Bride.” Ryan Gosling keeps derailing an interview about his new scifi movie "Project Hail Mary" 'cause the interviewer was trapped on the side of the road near what looked like Dr Evil's volcano lair. More people need to be talking about Matthew McConaughey's part in the interview where Timtim shoved his foot fully down his throat and how he just "yes and"ed him and Doja Cat just reveals she was just “virtue signaling” for “clicks, likes, and approval”. P!nk found out she was gettin' divorced from the tabloids, and to finish out this Second Helpings, Donna Kelce is going through a...HOME RENOVATION!! Plus even more! Want even more Page 7?

Leading Change Through Love and Excellence What if the most powerful leadership strategy wasn't control… but heart? In this unforgettable keynote, professional speaker and entrepreneur Hanna Bauer shares her extraordinary story as a childhood heart disease survivor, pioneering surgery patient, and visionary leader who turned adversity into purpose. Through powerful storytelling and practical leadership insights, Hanna introduces HEARTnomics — a transformational leadership philosophy built on five essential principles: Hope. Empowerment. Accountability. Results. Trust. Combined with her actionable BEAT Method, this keynote shows leaders how to turn challenge into momentum, uncertainty into opportunity, and vision into measurable impact. Scale Your Organization with Purpose, Power, and HEART. At HEARTnomics, we equip leaders and organizations with a transformational pathway to align vision, values, systems, and strategy—so they can grow with purpose, lead with excellence, and scale with heart. Because real success isn't just about scaling fast. It's about scaling right. Success Requires Scaling But when growth happens without alignment, the cost is bigger than missed momentum. You lose: • Time • Money • Energy • Team trust • And the relationships that drive lasting success. You don't need another strategy document. You need transformation. At HEARTnomics, we help leaders: ✔ Cast bold, clear vision ✔ Build high-trust cultures ✔ Lead meaningful change So organizations can scale with clarity, sustain momentum, and create impact that lasts. Because the future success of your business depends on the leadership you build today. What We Do Implementation Excellence Success isn't just about having the right ideas. It's about executing them with precision. HEARTnomics helps organizations integrate the right solutions, systems, and leadership practices that drive measurable growth. When strategy is implemented with intention and care, excellence becomes the foundation for: • Customer loyalty • Organizational growth • Sustainable performance Our programs are delivered through: ✔ In-person leadership experiences ✔ Virtual training and coaching ✔ Hybrid programs designed for modern organizations HEARTnomics Heart-centered leadership Transformational leadership keynote Leadership through love Leadership resilience Purpose-driven leadership Empowerment leadership Change leadership strategy Organizational transformation Leadership inspiration Motivational keynote speaker Leadership mindset Innovation leadership Culture-driven leadership High-performance leadership Leadership development keynote www.heartnomics.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/bauerhanna/ https://www.youtube.com/@heartnomics https://www.instagram.com/heartnomics/ https://www.facebook.com/hannad.bauer

In June 2020, CPS visited the Franke home after another report about 8 Passengers. They investigated. They closed the case.Three years later, two Franke children were found bound and starving. Ruby is now serving four to thirty years for aggravated child abuse.Part 4 of "The Good Mother" examines why systems designed to protect children fail — and what the Franke case reveals about the gap between warning signs and intervention.The abuse wasn't hidden. Ruby documented her parenting for 2.5 million subscribers. A teenager sleeping on a beanbag for seven months was on camera. A six-year-old denied lunch was on camera. Public humiliation was content.Viewers reported. A Change.org petition was launched. Ruby's own family — parents, siblings, husband — all tried to intervene after Jodi Hildebrandt entered the picture. All were cut off.Shari Franke posted when her mother was arrested: "Finally."She elaborated: "We've been trying to tell police and CPS for years."For years.CPS is overwhelmed. The threshold for intervention is physical evidence of severe harm. Patterns of escalation don't trigger action until someone ends up in a hospital.The Frankes performed normalcy when investigators visited. Educated, affluent, religious. The children had been trained to perform too.By the time CPS showed up, everything probably looked fine.That's how children fall through cracks.If you reported something and nothing happened, that doesn't mean you were wrong. Keep seeing. Keep reporting. Sometimes a report is the one that tips a case. You can't know in advance.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Segment 1 • The push to abandon church buildings for “first-century house churches”: admirable or misguided? • Did the early church reject formal worship spaces, like church buildings? • Old Testament and synagogue patterns challenge the modern church narratives. Segment 2 • The popular image of early Christian churches: casual gatherings with no leaders or structure. • Historical evidence shows early worship was organized and liturgical. • The “pure house church” idea may be a modern projection. Segment 3 • Two major historical events forced believers out of synagogues and public worship. • As time went on, Christians increasingly faced expulsion and persecution from their governments. • Change of pace: how much has parenting really changed since the 80's and 90's? Segment 4 • What does modern-day church gathering and discipleship look like? • Though parenting is never easy, parents today face difficulties that they didn't 20 or 30 years ago. • How can churches and communities come together, gather around families, and love and support children together? ___ Thanks for listening!

Explore the neuroscience behind musical improvisation—and what it reveals about our natural capacity for creativity.Summary: Creativity may be more natural than we think. Research on musicians and children improvising at the piano suggests that improvisation can quiet the brain's inner critic while engaging networks linked to exploration, play, and reward. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we look at the neuroscience of improvisation—and what a “beginner's mind” can teach us about opening up creativity in everyday life.How To Do This Practice: Choose a simple starting point: Begin with something familiar—a simple melody, rhythm, phrase, movement, or creative prompt. It could be notes on a keyboard, a beat you tap on the table, a few lines of writing, or even a movement with your body. Change one small thing: Experiment by altering a single element, like the speed, mood, rhythm, or key. Small changes help spark creativity without feeling overwhelming. Let go of judgment: Remind yourself there are no mistakes in improvisation, only possibilities. If something sounds unexpected, treat it as part of the exploration rather than something to fix. Follow your curiosity: Notice what sounds, patterns, or ideas interest you and build on them. Let each moment guide the next instead of planning too far ahead. Treat it like play: Approach improvisation with a playful mindset, the way kids experiment and explore. The goal isn't perfection—it's discovery and enjoyment. Reflect on how it felt: Afterward, take a moment to notice how the experience affected your mood or mindset. Many people find that improvising helps them feel more relaxed, creative, and open.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18. After Athena's elimination, they realize that Juicy has sent home her entire drag family. They question whether Athena still had more to show and start predicting who might take Miss Congeniality. The queens face the reading challenge and the “Drag in a Bag” design challenge, and Monét shares how she prepared for the reading challenge on her season. They discuss whether contestants knew which bags to pick, if Kenya is relying too much on the same punchline, and whether Ciara might have sabotaged her bag. On the runway, they review the looks, react to guest judge Iman, and weigh in on Discord's safety pin solution, Jane's scrap dress, and the best looks of the week. Plus, the queens must name who should go home next, and Bob and Monét wonder why Kenya is still lip syncing without knowing the words.
