Podcasts about changed everything

In the second half of our two-part deep dive into chapters 22–26 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, we explore the emotional, political, and romantic tipping points that define this act of the story. As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, we ask ourselves: "If knowledge is power, what are the power dynamics between Celaena, Chaol, and Nehemia?" With 13 years of combined academic training and two literary lenses, we analyze how Sarah J. Maas uses foreshadowing, symbolism, imagery, plot devices, and metaphor to elevate the tension between love and loyalty, duty and desire. In this episode, we discuss: – Dorian's terrifying awakening to magic and what it means to be powerful yet powerless – Celaena's romantic vulnerability and symbolic gesture of recreating Rena Goldsmith's legend for Chaol – The shifting tides of Chaol's morality as he balances oaths to the king and his love for Celaena – The heartbreaking confrontation between Nehemia and Celaena that reframes heroism, cowardice, and choice – The quiet horror of Elena's manipulation and the hidden cost of keeping Celaena in the dark From broom closets to broomsticks, rooftop confessions to explosive arguments, this episode lays the groundwork for the heartbreak ahead, because even love cannot survive when truth is a weapon and power is kept behind locked doors. This is Part 12 of Episode 5 as we follow the fallout and examine the consequences of silence, sacrifice, and betrayal.

The Story That Sparked It AllIn this episode of The Player Development Pod, I take you back to the moment that changed everything for me. A 1990s Houston Cougar football legend—once celebrated, now broken—returned to campus for an alumni event. Homeless. Overweight. Forgotten.Watching him cry while his teammates looked on in sadness wrecked me.How could this happen to someone whose name is still in our record books?That moment ignited something inside me. It became my why.I left the coaching path and stepped into player development to ensure athletes are supported holistically for life—not just during their playing days.This is the moment that changed my career—and I hope it changes how you see player development too.-BOOK - Get YOUR copy of the Beyond The Field Player Development Guide: https://amzn.to/3TtnaA8SIGNED BOOK - Get a SIGNED copy here: https://www.btfprogram.com/btf-program-resources/p/the-player-development-guide Player Development Newsletter: https://beyondthefield.substack.com/ Player Development Plan Course: https://btfplayerdevelopmentcourses.thinkific.com/courses/player-development-plan-beginnersAbout Ed Jones IIFounder | Educator | Culture Builder | Voice of the Player Development MovementEd Jones II is a globally respected authority in player development—known not just for what he does, but for how he builds people.

Summary:    Explore how to transcend the hustle and tap into your next level of being. In this episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby is joined by Dr. Nona Djavid, founder of eLIVate, to discuss how quantum leaps are real, replicable, and rooted in energy—not effort. Through personal stories and neuroscience-backed insights, discover how shifting your frequency can change everything. Step into your true potential with a blueprint that merges consciousness, business, and spiritual evolution.   Episode Overview:   Most people chase success through hustle, checking boxes, and staying in motion.

Dr. Nona Djavid shares her inspiring journey—from escaping scarcity as a 16-year-old immigrant to becoming a multi-million dollar entrepreneur and spiritual mentor. With Jason Rigby, she unpacks the four-step framework for quantum leaps, beginning with an "unreasonable vision" that shocks your ego and activates expansion.   They explore how identity, energetics, and intention work together to unlock abundance—not just financially, but in love, health, and fulfillment. This isn't just mindset work. It's consciousness in motion.

What happens when a talented actress gives everything she's got — and still doesn't book? Erin Elizabeth Burns opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of pursuing an acting career, the brutal truths behind the business, and the mindset shift that changed her life.

Jackson and John Cusack, to living in a VAN and rediscovering her purpose — this is the raw, hilarious, and powerful story every actor (and dreamer) needs to hear.

What happens when a life-threatening cancer diagnosis transforms into a mission to create paradise? The ROAMies welcome Brian Montgomery, founder of SIrenian Bay Resort in Placencia, Belize, who shares his extraordinary journey from facing terminal cancer to building an award-winning luxury destination.Brian's story begins with humble roots in Mississippi and a devastating diagnosis at 38 years old that gave him just six months to live. After nine months of treatment and a life-saving bone marrow transplant, Brian and his wife Brenda emerged with a completely different perspective on life. They sold their Texas company in 2012 and set out to build a simple beach house somewhere beautiful. Upon visiting Belize, they immediately fell in love with the country and its people, purchasing a property centered around two palm trees that would become the foundation of their first villa.What makes Sirenian Bay truly special isn't just its modern luxury amenities or stunning beachfront location. The heart of the resort lies in Brian's revolutionary approach to leadership and staff development. His "Above the Line" philosophy focuses on positivity, purpose, and believing in people who had never been believed in before. This approach recently earned Sirenian Bay recognition from Expedia as offering the best customer experience in all of Belize.The resort wasn't built according to a master plan or with profit as the primary motive. Rather, it evolved organically from Brian and Brenda's genuine love for Belize and desire to share their slice of paradise with others. What began as a retirement home to visit 4-6 weeks annually has blossomed into a destination where guests become friends and staff feel like family.This inspiring conversation reveals how the most meaningful creations often come from the heart, not the balance sheet. Join us as we explore how one man's second chance at life became an opportunity to transform not just his own future, but an entire community's as well.Thanks for your ongoing support!http://paypal.me/TheROAMiesAlexa and RoryThe ROAMiesPlease subscribe, rate and share our podcast!

I want to talk about questions—not the ones other people ask you, but the ones you ask yourself.You see, I've always been someone who reflects. But I haven't always been someone who asks better questions.

Fourteen years ago, I received a diagnosis that changed my life: breast cancer. It wasn't just a medical moment—it was a wake-up call. And today, I don't celebrate a “cancerversary.” I honor my Awakening Day—the day my life began shifting toward deeper healing, stronger purpose, and more intentional living. In this episode, I share what post-traumatic growth has looked like for me, how I've evolved over the last 14 years, and 14 life-changing lessons that have helped me build a life that's better than before breast cancer™. If you've ever felt like cancer took something from you that you can't get back… this episode is for you. Because healing is not just about your body—it's about your heart, your spirit, and your future.  

This powerful conversation with Dr. Miles Madison reveals the authentic journey of a periodontist who embraced innovation when it was considered "fringe" and transformed his practice through genuine connection and continuous learning. Dr. Madison's story embodies the podcast's core themes of authentic leadership, professional growth, and finding your unique voice in dentistry.From starting college at 16 to becoming a social media influencer with millions of views, Dr. Madison demonstrates how embracing your authentic self—even when it means pivoting based on honest feedback from your daughter—can lead to unprecedented success. His evolution from placing 15 implants during residency (when implants were looked down upon) to performing life-changing same-day transformations illustrates the profession's incredible journey.Most importantly, Dr. Madison's philosophy of "know yourself first" and molding your profession to your personality rather than conforming to industry expectations offers wisdom for practitioners at any stage. His commitment to continuous learning, community connection, and vulnerable authenticity provides a roadmap for sustainable success that honors both clinical excellence and personal fulfillment.

In July 1947 a mysterious object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico sparking the infamous Roswell Incident. Initially reported as a flying saucer by the U.S. Army the debris of metallic fragments and strange materials was quickly reclassified as a weather balloon, fueling suspicions of a government cover-up. Locals claimed sightings of unusual craft and even alien bodies, though official reports dismissed these as misinformation. Decades later declassified documents tied the crash to Project Mogul, a secret Cold War surveillance program, but conspiracy theories persist linking the event to extraterrestrials and Area 51.
