Marcia Smith, the founder and editor of Space Policy Online, joins the show and revisits a conversation we had one year ago, recorded just weeks before the second Trump administration took office. That episode, “The Challenges of Change at NASA,” explored the institutional and political roadblocks to radical change at the U.S. space agency. A lot has happened since that show, including DOGE, mass staff departures, a draconian budget cut proposal, a dramatic shift toward sending humans to Mars, and the rapid departure of 20% of NASA's workforce. But at the end of the year, much remains the same. The SLS and Orion programs continue unchanged, with funding locked in through 2032. The humans-to-Mars policy has effectively vanished; returning U.S. astronauts to the Moon, to stay, is again centered within civil space policy. NASA's science missions, though still facing a serious budgetary threat, have not gone away. So, did we see real change at NASA? And to what end? Or was it merely disruption masquerading as change? Marcia Smith and host Casey Dreier revisit their original analysis and discuss what they got wrong, what they got right, and what surprised them about 2025 in civil space policy.

Long-term growth requires a different standard of belief. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan explore why most people struggle to sustain momentum, even when they want meaningful results. This conversation challenges the idea that motivation is enough and reframes belief as something earned through action, proof, and consistency over time. Drawing from years of experience, real patterns, and hard lessons, they unpack what actually drives long-term performance without burnout or shortcuts.If you are focused on self-awareness, discipline, and becoming someone who can handle bigger outcomes, this episode will recalibrate how you think about growth.

As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness. Our confidence isn’t in what’s ahead, but in Who goes before us. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: When the Calendar Changes but God Remains By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading:“In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Praying for you today, friend, as you navigate the changing of the calendar. May this new year bring anticipation and excitement, not dread and anxiousness, as you trust our unchanging God.Intersecting Faith & Life:How do you feel about change? Take time today to write down one of the verses above on a card.

Episode 237 – I'm Not Good at Change is a compassionate, empowering conversation about what's actually happening in your brain when change feels overwhelming—especially on the mission, after the mission, or in any major life transition. In this episode, I break down why "I'm bad at change" isn't a personality flaw or spiritual weakness, but a normal human brain response rooted in survival, predictability, and energy conservation. We talk about how fear of change can quietly take away our sense of power—and how to gently take that power back. I share a real missionary coaching example and walk you through how resisting change keeps your brain stuck, while accepting discomfort actually creates clarity, confidence, and momentum. You'll learn how to calm your nervous system, stop reinforcing fear-based beliefs, and access your problem-solving brain so you can feel more capable, adaptable, and resilient. We also explore how traits we often judge—like wanting control, structure, or preparation—can actually be leadership strengths when used intentionally. If transfers, new callings, new semesters, new relationships, or new seasons of life feel heavy right now, this episode will help you reframe change as the pathway to growth rather than proof that something is wrong with you. Episode 237 – I'm Not Good at Change will remind you that you are not broken, you are human—and you already have what it takes to move forward with courage, trust, and self-compassion. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

Year-end stuff is upon us. That includes those infamous New Year's resolutions. And as it happens, the Bible has things to say about how we lean into the near future. Matthew 5:37 says, “Let what you say simply be yes or no. Anything more than this comes from evil.” How many times have we pledged to do something and then followed through? Follow-through is important. Whether it's weight loss, repairing relationships, or embarking on a new career, it's time to actually do what we say we're going to do.If you make a resolution to something positive going forward, remind yourself every hour of every day that you made a promise to yourself, and then meditate on all the ways God has fulfilled His promises to you. Commitment, follow-through, perseverance. It doesn't really matter what you call it. What matters is that personally in our own goals, let our yes be yes, and our no be no. There's nothing wrong with not pledging something that's extremely difficult to achieve. You can start by building on a small goal and then going on to the next, but if you say you're going to do something, do it. Let's pray. Lord, we are going into a new year full of possibilities. Help us to do what we say we're going to do. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

#471 The Secret Ingredient to Living Your Best Life Including Hypnosis What if the reason things haven't quite stuck yet isn't what you want… but why you want it? In this longer, deeper episode of Personal Development Unplugged, I take you beyond goal-setting, beyond wishy-washy intentions, and right into the one missing ingredient that makes real, lasting change inevitable. This episode includes a guided hypnosis / deep visualisation process designed to help you connect emotionally and unconsciously with the version of you who is already living their best life — and to install the inner resource that makes it all possible. We explore why New Year's resolutions fail, why motivation fizzles out, and how your unconscious mind can be guided to work for you instead of against you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "who do you want to be?" isn't enough without a powerful why The secret ingredient that turns desire into action How your unconscious mind learns just as powerfully from imagination as reality Why visualising your future self isn't fantasy — it's training A practical demonstration showing how imagination rewires behaviour A deep hypnosis process to connect with your future self and install commitment How to access the will to do whatever it takes Why alignment with your values creates effortless momentum How living your best life benefits you, others, and the world around you

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When Jennifer Ollis Blomqvist discovered Motivational Interviewing (MI) in a Swedish women's prison 25 years ago, she found more than a therapeutic technique—she discovered the antidote to professional burnout and the foundation for every meaningful conversation in her life. Now an MI expert and trainer who works with everyone from incarcerated individuals to parents navigating their children's substance use, Jennifer brings a refreshing perspective on how this evidence-based approach transforms not just our difficult conversations, but our entire energetic contract with change itself.In this conversation, Jennifer and I explore the delicate dance of supporting autonomy while maintaining boundaries, why school refusal might actually be a sophisticated form of communication, and how motivational interviewing becomes the connective tissue between love and limits. Her renowned book, "Lighthouse Conversations: Being a Beacon for Teens," will give you a practical framework for illuminating pathways without forcing direction - a critical distinction when your child's choices feel increasingly difficult to understand.When you listen, you'll discover:• Why sharing responsibility for change prevents parental burnout and creates more durable outcomes than attempting to architect your child's recovery alone• How to navigate the cognitive friction between supporting autonomy and maintaining safety boundaries—including the counterintuitive power of "doing nothing" as an active intervention• The critical difference between rolling with resistance versus reinforcing it, and why your nervous system's response matters more than your words• How motivational interviewing grows with you through different life stages—from negotiating with toddlers to supporting aging parents—making it the most versatile tool in your communication repertoire• Why school refusal might be your child's way of telling you they don't fit the institutional mold, and how MI can help you excavate the real issues beneath the resistance you see at surface levelEPISODE RESOURCES:Lighthouse Conversations: Being a Beacon for TeensJennifer's websiteEmail: jennifer@novovia.seTelephone: +46 736 - 19 54 46This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Why does so much self-improvement content leave you informed but unchanged?In this episode, Kevin and Alan confront the uncomfortable truth behind why personal development rarely translates into real results. They challenge the feel-good, shortcut-driven culture that rewards clicks over competence and explain what actually creates lasting growth. This conversation cuts through false promises, highlights the difference between value and validation, and reinforces the standards required for real progress in the real world. If you are tired of consuming content without seeing change, this episode will sharpen your discernment and reset your expectations. Stop collecting advice. Start building evidence._______________________Learn more about:If you want to start, grow, scale, or monetize your podcast?

Comme pour chaques vacances, je vous propose un best-of des épisodes qui ont été dernièrement enregistrés.Comme c'est la période de Noel, j'ai rajouté un petit biais plutôt feel-good et associé aux questionnements profonds.Matthieu Dardaillon est entrepreneur social, fondateur de Ticket for Change – une structure qui a accompagné de nombreux projets à impact, dont l'application bien connue Yuka – et il est aussi l'auteur du livre Anti-Chaos. J'avais très envie d'inviter Matthieu, parce que son livre entre incroyablement en résonance avec ce que je cherche à faire avec Vlan! : donner du sens, créer du lien, aider chacun à retrouver de la clarté dans un monde de plus en plus complexe.Dans cet épisode, nous avons eu une conversation très ouverte, presque intime, sur nos peurs, nos contradictions, nos espoirs aussi.On vit une époque de bascule, où tout s'accélère, où les repères se brouillent, où l'impuissance peut nous paralyser.C'est précisément cela que Matthieu aborde dans son ouvrage et dsns notre échange : comment vivre et surtout agir dans un monde chaotique ? Comment retrouver notre pouvoir d'agir dans un système qui semble parfois aller droit dans le mur ?Ce qui m'a frappé, c'est à quel point nos réflexions se croisent. On parle de polycrises, de fin de modèle, de croissance absurde, mais aussi de rêve, de joie d'agir, d'entrepreneuriat du quotidien.Matthieu partage des outils concrets, comme le modèle ABZ ou la règle des deux jours, pour passer de la réflexion à l'action. Il explique aussi pourquoi l'écoute – la vraie, l'écoute empathique et générative – est fondamentale pour co-construire le monde de demain.J'ai aussi osé parler de mes propres contradictions, comme cette tension entre l'envie d'un mode de vie communautaire et l'imaginaire individuel dans lequel j'ai grandi. Et Matthieu, avec beaucoup de bienveillance, m'a aidé à poser des mots là-dessus, à me questionner sur mes valeurs, mes besoins, et sur les petits pas concrets que je peux poser pour avancer vers ce futur désirable.Ce qui est beau dans la pensée de Matthieu, c'est qu'elle ne moralise jamais.Il ne cherche pas à convaincre, mais à inspirer. Il ne juge pas ceux qui n'en font pas assez, mais célèbre ceux qui essaient. Il croit profondément en la puissance de l'exemple, en la valeur de la recherche collective, et surtout en la capacité de chacun à contribuer, depuis là où il est.Cet épisode est un souffle. Un moment suspendu pour réfléchir, ressentir, rêver, mais aussi agir. J'espère qu'il vous parlera autant qu'il m'a nourri.

Dans cette période un peu dystopique et effrayante, j'avoue envie de vous parler de joie et de la manière dont on pouvait la trouver.Et ca tombe bien, dans cet épisode, nous avons plongé ensemble dans une réflexion vertigineuse sur le silence, la joie, le réel et la réalité.Nous avons parlé du silence de la joie, cette joie qui naît sans cause, comme un souffle venu du fond de l'âme.Une joie qui, pour Christopher, est un cri, une forme de révolte face à l'absurdité du monde.J'ai voulu comprendre ce que signifiait pour lui cette forme de joie silencieuse, mais aussi pourquoi il considérait le monde comme “tragique” et comment, malgré tout, il choisit d'y affirmer son existence.Christopher m'a partagé son parcours : une adolescence chaotique, une dépression sévère, une dérive dans la spiritualité dogmatique, et enfin, une renaissance à travers la philosophie.Une philosophie brute, vécue, ancrée dans le réel. Il raconte comment la philosophie l'a aidé à déconstruire des croyances, à abandonner des illusions, mais aussi comment elle peut être déstabilisante, voire destructrice.Nous avons abordé la notion de désir — non pas comme manque, mais comme élan vital — et évoqué des penseurs majeurs : Spinoza, Nietzsche, Camus, Clément Rosset, Pessoa... Autant d'influences qui éclairent sa pensée et nourrissent ses réflexions.Dans cet épisode, j'ai questionné Christopher sur le développement personnel, les dangers de la pensée positive poussée à l'extrême, la mémoire, la solitude, l'amitié, et cette idée si bouleversante : peut-on vraiment “passer à côté de sa vie” ?C'est une conversation d'une rare intensité, lucide, parfois brutale, mais toujours profondément humaine. Une plongée dans l'âme, un dialogue avec nos zones d'ombre, et une invitation à repenser ce que signifie vivre avec joie, malgré tout.Comme soulignée dans l'épisode, si vous souhaitez bénéficier d'une offre exclusive de 15% de réduction sur Saily, c'est ici : www.saily.com/vlan 5 citations marquantes« La joie, c'est apprendre à désespérer sans tomber dans le désespoir. »« Le silence n'est pas une absence de langage, mais une présence de sens. »« Ce n'est pas parce qu'une chose est bonne que je la désire, mais parce que je la désire qu'elle devient bonne. »« La philosophie ne sauve pas toujours ; elle peut aussi nous détruire. »« On ne se définit pas parce qu'on est, mais parce qu'on n'est pas. »10 questions que l'on se poseQu'est-ce que représente pour toi “le silence de la joie” ?Pourquoi qualifies-tu le monde de tragique ?Le silence est-il le grand oublié de notre société connectée ?Pourquoi t'es-tu autant intéressé à la philosophie ?Est-ce que la philosophie peut nous sauver ?Quelle est ta vision du développement personnel aujourd'hui ?Comment animes-tu la joie en toi au quotidien ?Que signifie “désirer ce que l'on a déjà” ?Comment différencies-tu le réel et la réalité ?Est-ce que l'on peut passer à côté de sa vie ?Timestamps00:00 – Introduction : réel vs réalité02:00 – Nos perceptions façonnent notre réalité04:00 – Le langage, la poésie, et la manière de dire le monde06:30 – Mémoire, souvenirs et illusions : quand la fiction transforme le passé09:00 – Solitude, isolement, et rapport à soi12:00 – Peut-on se perdre ?

Anxiety Isn't the Problem — It's the Habit Loop Behind It I recently had a conversation with psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jud Brewer that stopped me in my tracks — not because it was abstract or inspirational, but because it finally explained something I've lived with for decades. Even in long-term sobriety. Even with years of self-work, therapy, meetings, journaling, and personal development. That thing is anxiety — and more specifically, how anxiety quietly turns into habits like worrying, overthinking, scrolling, information hoarding, procrastinating, and self-judgment. What Dr. Brewer helped me see is this: Anxiety isn't a personal flaw. It's a learned habit loop. And once I saw that clearly, everything changed. Worry Is a Behavior — Not a Personality Trait One of the most powerful reframes from our conversation was this: Worry isn't just a feeling — it's something we do. Anxiety shows up as a sensation in the body. Worry is the mental behavior we use to try to control that sensation. And here's the trap: Worry feels productive. It feels like we're doing something. That tiny sense of relief is enough to reward the brain — which means the loop gets reinforced. Anxiety → Worry → Temporary relief → Repeat Over time, this becomes automatic. So automatic we don't even realize we're doing it. That's the definition of a habit. Why "Why Am I Like This?" Keeps Us Stuck As someone in recovery, I'm very familiar with the idea of "getting to the root cause." Childhood trauma, identity, shame, conditioning — all of that matters. But here's what surprised me: Dr. Brewer says the "why" is often the least important part when it comes to changing anxiety. Not because the past doesn't matter — but because focusing on why often keeps us stuck in our heads instead of helping us change what we're doing right now. When anxiety hits, the more helpful question isn't: "Why am I like this?" It's: "What am I getting from this behavior?" That question shifts us from self-blame to curiosity — and curiosity is where real change begins. The Default Mode Network (AKA: The Overthinking Machine) We also talked about the brain's default mode network — the system that activates when we're not focused on a task. This network lights up when we: Worry about the future Replay the past Judge ourselves Compare ourselves to others Crave, resist, or ruminate In other words: it's the "me, me, me" network. When fear (an urge to act now) gets crossed with planning (thinking about the future), we get anxiety. Anxiety doesn't help us act. It freezes us. That's why so many high-achievers know exactly what to do — and still don't do it. The Three Gears of Change (This Is the Part That Actually Helps) Dr. Brewer's work focuses on a simple but profound process he calls the three gears: ⚙️ Gear 1: Awareness Notice the behavior. Worrying. Scrolling. Self-judging. Avoiding. No fixing. No shaming. Just noticing. If it's automatic, it's a habit — and habits can be changed. ⚙️ Gear 2: Ask "What Am I Getting From This?" This is the most overlooked step. Not: "What should I be doing?" "What's wrong with me?" "Why can't I just stop?" But: What is this giving me right now? Safety? Distraction? Avoidance of shame? Temporary relief? When we see clearly that the reward is small — and the cost is high — the habit starts to lose its power. ⚙️ Gear 3: Find the Bigger, Better Offer This is where things shift. Instead of numbing, distracting, or fighting anxiety, we learn to meet it differently — and that feels better than the habit itself. That's where the RAIN practice comes in. RAIN: A Way to Be With Anxiety Without Escaping It RAIN stands for: R – Recognize what's happening A – Allow it to be there I – Investigate with curiosity (What does this feel like in my body?) N – Note what's happening moment to moment Here's the surprising part: When we stop trying to get rid of anxiety and simply observe it, it often passes on its own. Cravings peak and fall. Sensations rise and fade. Even when they feel like they'll last forever — they don't. Action Steps (Try This This Week) If anxiety, overthinking, or procrastination are showing up in your life, try this: Catch the Habit Notice when anxiety turns into worrying, scrolling, or self-judgment. Ask One Question What am I getting from this right now? Practice RAIN Don't fix. Don't flee. Just observe. Change the Language Instead of "I am anxious," try: "I'm noticing anxiety in my body." Let the Wave Pass You don't have to do anything for it to end. Resources Mentioned Unwinding Anxiety by Jud Brewer Trigger–Habit–Outcome Mapping (free worksheet referenced by Dr. Brewer) RAIN mindfulness practice Going Beyond Anxiety program (Dr. Brewer's advanced work) Final Thought You're not broken. You're not failing. You're not missing some secret piece of information. Your brain learned a habit — and habits can be unlearned. With awareness, curiosity, and kindness, anxiety doesn't have to run your life. It can become a signal — not a sentence.

Happy New Year! New Year's stuff is beneficial in several things. We make resolutions and we might even stick to some of them. But it's what God does that really matters. He's in the renewal business—making broken things whole again, especially people. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation. The old has passed away and behold the new has come.” It's great for us when this involves repaired relationships or even a career boost. Yet this vital truth matters most in our relationships with Him. God fashions relationships that are sustainable over time, and the Gospel is the essence of this truth. If you feel empty, call on Jesus who's ready to make you clean, and take away your guilt and shame. One day He will restore the whole creation to its original, perfect state. But in the meantime, He will look at you with love, put His hand on your heart, and offer you eternity. If you're wondering what the new year has for you, set your sights higher. Think bigger. Step into your future this year with a real sense of who you are in Christ. He's waiting for you to come to Him for the rest you've needed for a long time. The new has come. Let's pray. Lord, thank you for the fresh start that only you can bring. Thank you for wiping off the dirt of the past and helping us see clearly a future that is always new. In Jesus' name, amen.

This podcast is about YOU! In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas asks you to look at where you are currently, and what it is you would like to change in 2026. What would you like to ask for that you have not been asking for? What would you like to choose that you have not been choosing? What are you avoiding? What changes things is you choosing something different. You create by choosing. What do you need to add to your life and living to have something greater than you currently have? Where are you not inviting possibilities into your life where you could be? What is actually possible? You are the one who chooses and as you choose, the world changes. 2026 is the year of what else is possible. What can you choose in 2026 that will literally change the world? Questions And Tools: Choose Don't judge Relaxation What would you really like to choose that you have not been choosing or asking for? Engage Some questions to ask yourself for 2026 (and always): What are you excited about? What would you like to see change in the world? What would you like to choose in the world? What action do you need to actualise that? What are you currently choosing that doesn't make you smile? What do you need to add to your life and living to have something greater than you currently have? Where are you not inviting possibilities into your life where you could be? How many things are you not choosing because you are judging you cannot? What is relaxation for you? What would you really like to choose that you have not been choosing? What would you like to ask for that you have not been asking for? What are you currently avoiding that if you didn't avoid it something greater would show up? Daily questions: "What question could I ask here?" "What would it take for more money to show up?" "What action could I take?" "What invitation can I be?" "What else is possible? What's beyond this?"

God Is Focused a Jesus Follower's Heart, and He Changes Their Thinking and Attitude Through a Change in Their Heart MESSAGE SUMMARY: God makes you a new creation through your new heart created by an indwelling of the Holy Spirit in your life. God is interested in your heart, and He wants you to have a righteous heart– God changes your thinking and your attitude through a change in your heart. In Romans 8:26-27, Paul describes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Followers resulting in a new person, with a new heart, in Jesus: “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.". As a Jesus Follower, you are salt and light, comes from your righteousness – not just in deed and appearance but, also, in your inner person -- your heart. TODAY'S PRAYER: Unclutter my heart, O God, until I am quiet enough to hear you speak out of the silence. Help me in these few moments to stop, to listen, to wait, to be still, and to allow your presence to envelop me. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 23). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Most postures are mechanical and are unconsciously accompanied by a mood, which invokes attitude. The Divine feeds on a very fine vibratory energy or food. The Work teaches that there are three being-foods: physical food, air, and impressions. Everything in the world is an energetic configuration vibrating at a certain rate. The lower the vibration the more the appearance of solidity. It is possible to extract finer elements from air, a refined food called prana. Impressions are all energetic phenomena that the senses pick up. When taken in consciously, they serve a crucial function that allows the body to begin the work of creating a higher being-body. The Work teaches that Earth is a school for incomplete beings. We can verify that we are incomplete if we practice self-observation and see that we can't remember ourselves and drift in and out of consciousness constantly. Gurdjieff wrote about five being-obligations, such as the conscious striving to know more about the laws of creation and world maintenance. The law of reciprocal maintenance is that we are fed and we feed. We are fed by God, and we can feed the Divine with our work on ourselves. Another being-obligation is the striving to pay for our arising and individuality. We pay through intentional suffering. When we see that the ego structure resists manifesting love of God, we begin to consciously suffer and conscience begins to awaken. Change of heart is the only true change. The body is a transformational instrument and everything is food. If we know how to digest, we can find nourishment in everything. We can work up to and through the point of death. Real freedom is freedom from identification. Red Hawk is an acclaimed poet and the author of 13 books, including Self Observation, Self Remembering, The Way of the Wise Woman, Return to the Mother, and Book of Lamentations.
As 2025 comes to an end, we're reflecting on stories from this year that made an impact in our area. Tarboro Town Council held a public hearing about a proposed data center.

Addiction Unlimited Podcast | Alcoholism | Life Coach | Living Sober | 12 Steps
Why January 1 Isn't the Answer — and What Actually Moves You Forward It’s New Year’s Eve, and if you’re feeling that familiar pressure—that maybe-this-year-will-be-different energy—I want you to take a deep breath and listen up. Whether you’re planning to drink tonight (even though you don’t really want to), or you’re already sober but looking at 2026 like it’s some kind of test you have to pass… I see you. And here’s what I need you to know: You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re just in a stage. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the Stages of Change—a professional framework used in psychology and addiction recovery that’s going to help you figure out exactly where you are in your journey. Because once you know your stage, you’ll know exactly what to do next. No more spinning your wheels. No more beating yourself up. Just clarity, action, and a path forward. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The 5 stages are: Pre-Contemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance (Spoiler: If you’re listening to this podcast, you’re already past stage 1. But where are you really?) Why people get stuck in contemplation (and the one thing that moves you forward—hint: it’s not more research) The difference between preparation and action (and why support is the bridge between the two) Why January 1st isn’t going to save you (but action will) How to avoid burnout in maintenance (and why my 90-Day Focus Planner is built to help you actually make progress)
Change has a way of forcing clarity, even when it arrives through uncertainty, loss, or exhaustion. In this reflective year-end episode, you're invited to pause and take stock of what it really took to keep going. Through honest stories from senior leaders who navigated layoffs, reinvention, and rapid transformation, you'll hear how resilience isn't something you either have or don't, it's something you practice. And adaptation isn't about having all the answers; it's about staying willing to move before certainty arrives. Guests share deeply personal moments, being laid off after giving everything to a role, rebuilding confidence after broken trust, and redefining leadership in a world reshaped by AI and constant change. You're reminded that growth doesn't always look like progress in the moment, and that community, integrity, and self-awareness often carry you forward when strategy alone isn't enough. In this episode, reflect on what this year demanded of you and what you're ready to carry into what's next. Visit our website where you will find show notes and links to all the resources in this episode, including the best way to get in touch with our special guest. The key moments in this episode are: [00:54] The Power of Resilience [01:45] Personal Stories of Overcoming Challenges [03:41] Mentorship and Midlife Wisdom [05:43] Adaptation: The Key to Moving Forward [04:00] The Power of Authenticity [07:45] The Importance of Community [08:51] Conclusion and Moving Forward
In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the belief that finding one clear focus is enough to create a meaningful and successful life. They break down why clarity without structure often leads to stalled progress and why discipline, standards, and consistency matter more than motivation. This episode cuts through common self-improvement shortcuts and reframes what real growth looks like across health, wealth, and relationships. It speaks to anyone who feels focused but stuck, informed but inconsistent, and ready for a more grounded approach to personal development. Press play and ask yourself if your daily actions actually match the life you say you want to build.Learn more about:If you want to start, grow, scale, or monetize your podcast?

The modern anarchist movement began in 1999, when the World Trade Organization met in Seattle in order to create a set of rules which would require every country to accept the worst excesses of capitalism.Waiting for them in Seattle was a loose coalition of anarchists, farmers, organized labor, punks, Zapatistas, and giant puppets. Team Puppet won.D.W. Gibson's new book One Week to Change the World is an oral history of the Battle of Seattle. Gibson interviewed everyone from the black bloc to the riot police. The book is a history but also a guide for future protests. I highly recommend it!
Have you ever experienced a power outage? You pull out your favorite flashlight, only to discover the batteries are dead. Bummer, am I right?How about light bulbs? For some reason, they all seem to go at the same time, leaving you in the shadows and looking for that flashlight—you know, the one with the dead batteries!Light bulbs burn out, tires go flat, umbrellas turn inside out on a windy day, and batteries die. Many of the things we use on a frequent basis are designed to be temporary—and sometimes they let us down when we need them most.Lamentations 3:22–23 says, “Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.”God's Holy Word, the Bible, promises that His compassion never fails. Each day is a new opportunity to experience God's love and benefit from His grace, and His faithfulness to us that will never end. Not because we've earned the Lord's favor—simply because He loves us.Let's pray.Heavenly Father, your mercy is new every morning, and your steadfast love for us is amazing.

Change demands more than just a goal, a desire, and a hope.. it demands action and honesty with ourselves, a willingness to look at what we give our time and our energy to and if we are willing to change those daily actions to see change in ourselves and our future.
Join Dr. Michael Salla and Sherri Divband as they discuss various topics surrounding the "Starseeds & Great Awakening ," providing profound insights into the "Courage to Change." This conversation explores the concept of " spiritual awakening " and offers guidance for those experiencing " starseed awakening symptoms ," encouraging a "mindful journey" towards greater understanding and "inner wisdom." Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More. Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/Through extensive research with hypnotic regression conducted with more than a thousand clients, and her own communications with extraterrestrial civilizations, Sherri Divband has learned that the Deep State uses soul tracking technology to identify gifted and talented children at a young age. These gifted children are then targeted with a range of pharmaceutical products designed to dumb them down, or recruited into classified programs where they are exploited as supersoldiers, remote viewers, or secret space program personnel. She says that these gifted children are part of four waves of Starseeds who are incarnating on Earth to uplift humanity and help us prepare for a future involving the use of advanced technologies and open contact with extraterrestrial life. Sherri asserts that animals play a vital role in helping humanity deal with dark malevolent entities and that connecting with animals is essential for individual growth and planetary balance. Sherri has written fifteen books, five of which explicitly deal with the challenges facing starseeds as they navigate their way through a minefield of challenges and obstacles created by negative entities and the Deep State.Sherri Divband's website is: https://sherridivband.com/
Life + Business Audit: How to Create Clarity, Alignment, and Sustainable GrowthAs the year winds down, it's easy to feel reflective, overwhelmed, or unsure of what needs to change next. In this episode of The Floral CEO Podcast, Jeni walks you through a powerful life and business audit designed to help you gain clarity, reduce burnout, and intentionally shape the next chapter of your business and life.This isn't about judgment, shame, or “fixing” yourself.It's about seeing clearly, reclaiming your energy, and choosing alignment over chaos.Why a Life + Business Audit MattersYour business does not exist in a vacuum.If your life feels heavy, chaotic, or unsupported, your business will eventually reflect that.In this episode, Jeni shares why:Your business cannot “save” your lifeMoney alone doesn't fix misalignmentSustainable success starts with clarity, boundaries, and honest reflectionThis audit helps you step out of reaction mode and into intentional CEO leadership.Part 1: Where Are You Right Now?1. Energy AuditTake an honest look at where your energy is going — and where it's being drained.Rate each area on a scale of 1–10:WorkdaysClient interactionsCreative workHome lifeMental loadPhysical energyAnything consistently under a 5 deserves attention — not guilt.2. Time AuditAsk yourself:Where is my time actually going?What feels busy vs. what moves the needle?How much of my time is reactive vs. intentional?Break your time into categories:Revenue-producing workAdmin / busyworkMarketingFamily & personal lifeScrolling / numbingRest (real rest)Then ask:Is my time aligned with my priorities — or just my habits?3. Money AuditThis is where many business owners avoid looking — and where clarity is most powerful.Reflect on:What did I actually pay myself?What parts of my business are profitable?What looks “successful” but pays terribly?Where am I leaking money (including time)?Ask the big question:Am I building a business that supports my life — or one that requires sacrifice without return?Part 2: What's Not Working Anymore?4. Tolerance AuditFinish these sentences honestly:“I'm tolerating __________.”“I keep putting up with __________.”“I know this isn't working, but I haven't changed it.”What we tolerate becomes our standard.5. Alignment AuditAsk yourself:Does my business reflect who I am now — or who I used to be?If I built this business today, would I build it the same way?Is my business aligned with my values, family life, health, creativity, and nervous system?Small misalignments add up over time.6. Identity AuditShift from:“I'm trying to…”to“I am someone who…”Ask:Who have I been acting like I am?Who do I want to become?What does that version of me say yes to?What does she stop doing?Identity shifts drive behavior change.Part 3: What Needs to Change?7. Subtraction Before AdditionBefore adding anything new, ask:What can I remove?What can I simplify?What am I done tolerating?Growth doesn't always mean more — often it means less, done better.8. Focus Audit: The 3–Thing RuleChoose:3 business priorities3 life prioritiesAsk:If I focused only on these, would my life and business improve?Everything else can pause, be delegated, or simplified.9. Support AuditYou are not meant to do this alone.Ask:Where do I need support?What am I carrying that isn't mine?Who helps me think bigger?Who holds me accountable?Support might look like systems, boundaries, therapy, coaching, or community.Part 4: How Do You Move Forward?10. Micro-Momentum PlanningInstead of fixing everything, ask:What's one 15-minute change I can make this week?One boundary I can set?One system I can tighten?Small shifts create big identity changes.11. Future You Check-InAsk:What will future me thank me for changing now?What would make next year feel lighter?Your body often knows before your mind does.12. Decision Filter Going ForwardEvery opportunity should pass through:Does this align with my values?Does this support my energy?Does this move me toward my goals?Am I saying yes out of fear or intention?If it's not a clear yes, it's a no or not right now.Final ThoughtsYou are allowed to:Change your mindWant something differentBuild a business that feels good and pays you wellChoose alignment over hustleYour life matters just as much as your business.Join the Goal Planning Party
SUMMARY: - “Hurting people hurt people—but narcissists mean to. The higher up the spectrum, the more deliberate and sadistic it becomes.” - “A normal person can self-reflect and repair. A narcissist can't or won't—self-reflection feels like death to them.” - “You didn't cause this, and you can't fix it. It's not your fault.” - “As darkness rises, so does the glory of God. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good.” - “If you move slowly and keep physical/emotional boundaries while dating, a narcissist will often disqualify himself.” Annette's 4-category spectrum - Category 1: “Normal” human flaws—can be selfish or insensitive at times, but can self-reflect, repent, repair, and grow. - Category 2: Emotionally immature; hurtful without calculated malice. Constant defensiveness, blame-shifting, meltdowns when confronted. Change is unlikely; aim is reducing chaos and managing wisely if you choose to stay. - Category 3: Calculated and conniving. Love-bombing, data-mining your hopes/fears to weaponize later. Public charm/private cruelty. Dangerous in church/community settings. You won't resolve this. - Category 4: Sociopathic/psychopathic traits. Amplified cruelty and real danger. Divorce triggers the “monster.” Requires safety planning, documentation, and expert help. Dating red flags and protection - Love-bombing: intense pursuit, “soulmate” language, over-the-top gestures, fast-moving timeline. - Boundary testing: pushes past your limits; discomfort rises quickly. - Inconsistencies and subtle cruelty: backhanded comments, smirks at tears or grief, delight in your pain. - How to protect: move slowly, keep physical/emotional boundaries early, listen to the Holy Spirit and your discomfort, look for patterns (not isolated incidents), and let time test character. If you stay (Category 2 dynamics) - Goal: not fixing him, but wisely reducing chaos and preserving your well-being and the household's stability. - Tactics: reframe requests in terms of what benefits him; avoid head-on confrontation; build your life outside the relationship (calling, ministry, education, friendships). - Support: grief the loss of the dream; get equipped; find a small, trusted peer group who truly understands narcissistic abuse. If you're considering leaving (especially 3–4) - Safety first: if there's a risk of harm, have a go-bag for you/kids/pets and get out. - Prepare: document everything; expect financial sabotage; avoid using the term “narcissist” in court unless there's a diagnosis. - Kids: courts may be vulnerable to “parental alienation” claims; consider a High-Conflict Divorce Coach to reduce legal costs and navigate strategy. - Church/community: narcissists often “borrow” your credibility and pre-poison relationships. Find a healthy church culture and rebuild wise support. Biblical considerations for divorce - Abuse, abandonment, adultery are valid biblical grounds. With minors, weigh carefully: safety, modeling for children, and the realities of family court. Healing and identity - Post-abuse, identity is almost always impacted. You can be 10 years out and still hear their voice in your head—self-abuse by proxy. - The path: clean up the past (lies, agreements, unresolved pain), rebuild identity in Christ, then step into power and authority with wisdom and boundaries. - Beauty must rise with pain: intentionally add joy, nature, creativity, and community to counterbalance suffering. Church and parenting insights - Teach kids the Word, discernment, and healthy vs. unhealthy relationship dynamics. Christlike love includes boundaries and walking away when necessary. Programs and resources Annette mentioned - Living Well While Staying: coaching for women who choose to remain in Category 2 marriages, focused on reducing chaos and rebuilding a meaningful life. - Cinderella No More Academy: membership community and tools for recovery and growth. - Cinderella Conversations: 4-session discovery series on identifying narcissistic dynamics, tactics, false guilt, and spiritual warfare. - Upcoming book: Cinderella No More: Becoming Ella (target 2026). She's seeking early readers for feedback. - For severe trauma/PTSD: consider a Christian therapist specializing in trauma; complement with coaches who understand narcissistic abuse. Interview for fit. One thing to remember - You didn't cause it, you can't fix it—and this isn't the end. With God, this can be the beginning of a new, stronger chapter. You get to write the next chapters with Him. PODCAST INTRO: My guest Annette Chesney is a Christian coach, speaker, and seasoned recovery professional who equips women healing from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic dynamics can be hard to spot because they often look like ordinary relationship friction at first. Many people struggle to tell the difference between someone who is simply hurting and occasionally hurtful, and someone who persistently harms others without accountability. One useful way to think about it is as a spectrum: not everyone with difficult traits is a narcissist, and not every narcissistic person behaves the same way. Understanding this range can help you decide what you're seeing—and what to do next. But before you think that keeps you in the dark….Annette has created a spectrum that consists of 4 categories or types of narcissists including 10 different characteristics. What she shares is very interesting and from my experience very accurate. Annette's work is done both one-on-one and in groups. She talks primarily from a women's point of view with regard to narcissistic abuse but she did say men are subject to women narcs as well. Annette talks about common red flags and she says pay attention to patterns over time rather than isolated incidents; that wider view tells the truth. Annette even shares about how she coaches women who choose to stay in a challenging relationship…she teaches “management” strategies that focus less on changing the other person and more on stabilizing her client's environment, protecting her energy, and minimizing chaos. A few of the examples she gave were learning how to reframe requests so they're seen as mutually beneficial, limiting circular arguments, and building a strong support system outside the relationship. She even touches on the subject for when separation or divorce becomes necessary and minor children are involved. She alerted us to the fact that trauma symptoms, including anxiety and PTSD‑like responses, are not uncommon adding that qualified mental health support and targeted coaching can help you recover clarity and confidence. Even with the reality of living with the effects of narcissistic abuse…the dismantling of who you are, loss of confidence, identity, goals, dreams etc. , Annette says recovery is possible. Many people find that healing involves unpacking earlier hurts, challenging false beliefs, rebuilding identity, and learning durable skills: boundaries, self‑care, emotional regulation, and discernment. Getting connected with the right help will make all the difference and get you to what she calls…your Kingdom Zone of Impact where you're living with identity and purpose in Christ. Her parting words were for the listener to remember two things that are worth holding onto: you didn't cause someone else's narcissistic pattern, and you can't fix it for them. What you can do is prioritize safety, educate yourself/get informed, surround yourself with wise support, and invest in your own future. Whether you're staying, preparing to leave, or rebuilding afterward, the next chapters can be healthier—with Christ those next chapters are filled with restoration and redemption, they can bring clarity, strength identity and purpose… and they're yours to discover with the Lover of Your Soul, the One who never abuses you, never fails you, Jesus.

After the Minneapolis Meltdown The Detroit Lions walked out of Minneapolis with bruises and questions. The Minnesota Vikings exposed protection issues, timing issues, and game-management issues. It was hard to watch. On the latest episode of The Grey Area, the conversation turned fast from pain to purpose. This is the last week of the season. The Bears are next. The focus is whether anything learned in that loss will shape what happens now. Dan Campbell's words mattered. Right after the game he said the Lions “gotta make changes.” No hedging. No deflection. His Monday tone was calmer, but the message stood. Change is coming, and he has to be the agent of it. That echoes his raw line after the NFC title loss two seasons ago about “that might have been our shot.” Seasons in the NFL are fragile. Windows swing fast. What happens next decides whether that old line is a footnote or a warning. There was no comfort in the tape. Execution sagged. Play calling sputtered. The Vikings dictated terms. That adds weight to Week 18. Not for stats. For choices. Campbell's Crossroads: Play, Rest, or Recalibrate Grey wrestles with the final-week question. To play or not to play. The roster is banged up. The rhythm is off. The instinct to chase numbers gives way to a need to reset habits. The staff has to decide who benefits from snaps and who needs a seat. No simple answer, but clarity is required. Campbell already pushed past the usual coach-speak about “on to the next one.” He went straight to overhaul talk, with a game still left. That tells you where his head is. Numbers over narratives took a back seat. This week the lesson is bigger than the box score. The Lions need a cleaner plan and a cleaner identity before Chicago. That is the work. Fix the Offensive Line, Fix the Offense The priority is clear. The offensive line is job one. Find a center. Stack guard depth. Solve tackle. You can do that in one offseason. Other teams have done it with castoffs. If Brad Holmes and Campbell hit on those spots, a lot of what failed in Minnesota vanishes. Protection stabilizes the pass game. The run game breathes. Play calling opens up. Defense needs help too. All three levels. But without the line, you get what you just saw. The blueprint is attainable. The roster core can support quick repair. The front office has to execute. Temperature Check: Fans, Accountability, and the Bears Ahead Fans are angry. They should be. The team has traded on two years of success. Prices went up. Expectations followed. Then came the worst Lions performance in years, by execution and by design. That stings. The enemies list segment landed hard because accountability matters right now. Giving in to lesser angels is easy. The smarter move is to demand concrete fixes. The Detroit Lions still control their response. Beat the Bears with purpose. Then attack the line, the depth, and the defensive holes. Campbell opened the door to change. Now he has to walk through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqWARwBd_E #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #minneapolismeltdown #minnesotavikings #protectionissues #game-managementissues #dancampbell #week18 #chicagobears #playorrest #offensivelineoverhaul #findacenter Learn more about your ad choices.
