Manifestation isn't about techniques, scripting, or vision boards — it's about who you believe yourself to be. In this episode  we go deeper into the truth that self-identity is the foundation of every manifestation you experience.Your reality responds to your self-concept, your inner dialogue, and the way you see yourself moving through the world. If your identity is rooted in lack, doubt, or unworthiness, no amount of manifestation work will override it. But when you shift how you see yourself — your standards, boundaries, and sense of deserving — everything begins to change.Let's Chat: Why self-identity drives your manifestations How subconscious beliefs shape your results The difference between wanting abundance and being abundant How to rewire your self-concept for alignment and ease Why embodiment matters more than effort This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing outcomes and start becoming the version of you who naturally attracts them. When your identity shifts, your life follows.This is the real work. And it changes everything.

#200 - A new name, a sharper mission, and a story that hits like a drumbeat. Journey with Jake evolves into The Human Adventure, and we mark the moment with Joleen Hyde, a South African guide whose life moved from the weight of apartheid to the work of building bridges through travel, education, and Ubuntu. This is not a safari highlight reel. It's a tour of how courage, forgiveness, and community can transform how we move through the world.We start with the why behind our new title: a focus on people, resilience, and purpose. Joleen brings that focus to life. She explains what it meant to be legally classified under apartheid, how her father's quiet generosity shaped her, and what she learned while working with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Mandela's model of forgiveness looms large here, not as a slogan but as a discipline that keeps hope practical. From there, Joleen traces a path to the United States and the creation of Into Africa Tours, an impact-driven approach to travel that pairs wildlife and coastline with classrooms, townships, and feeding programs.You'll hear how guests step beyond surface-level tourism to meet teachers and students, support community projects, and experience the spirit of Ubuntu: I am because we are. We talk about the hard parts too—limits, heartbreak, and the humility to choose one project and follow through. There's laughter in the mix, from language lessons to bold bites of local food, and plenty of adventure that still honors safety and respect. Listeners walk away with a richer view of South Africa, tangible ways to get involved, and a challenge to keep serving back home, long after the passport is stamped.Ready to rethink why you travel and what your presence can do? Press play, share this with someone who needs a dose of human connection, and subscribe to stay with us on The Human Adventure. Your review helps more people find stories that turn empathy into action.To learn more about Joleen and Into Africa Tours visit her website www.intoafricatours.com and give her a follow on Instagram @intoafrica_tours.Want to be a guest on The Human Adventure?

Fabian and Lola open up about the financial pressure they faced as a young family managing two homes while interest rates kept climbing. That breaking point pushed them to seek guidance, eventually finding the Infinity program through social media. With a structured budget, disciplined debt-reduction strategies, and the courage to sell unused assets, they slashed their mortgage from $515,000 to $159,000 and rebuilt their financial foundation. Since then, they've accelerated their momentum by investing in three additional properties and sticking to a strict weekly spending plan. Supported by a strong community and a clear long-term strategy, they've shifted from survival mode to a future focused on freedom, growth, and quality time with their daughters.

Victoria Nodiff-Netanel, founder of Mini Therapy Horses, shares her inspiring story of how she started a nonprofit charity to bring therapy horses to those in need. From her personal experience with horses to creating a program that brings joy and comfort to veterans, we dive into the impact of these incredible animals. We also explore the upcoming Rose Parade, where Victoria's team will be participating with their miniature horses.

After joining Infinity in February 2021, everything began to change. They learned how to budget with intention, restructure their finances, and align their spending with what truly mattered to their family. Today, Craig & Megan are bad-debt free, rent - vesting to maximise Defence benefits, managing a clear FFF budget, and building a growing investment portfolio.

Craig and Megan, share how they turned their finances around after years of poor budgeting, credit card reliance, and financial stress. Coming from defence and healthcare backgrounds, they discovered Infinity through the free webinar, which helped them restructure their money, build better habits, and create a clear long term plan.

They also discuss the emotional and financial weight of their IVF journey, and how developing financial stability became crucial during that period. Focused less on material purchases and more on meaningful experiences, they're now planning a family trip around Australia. They share insights about detaching emotions from investment decisions, watching broader trends like community-focused housing and Airbnb's impact, and evolving their strategy with purpose and balance.

In this episode of Changing Lives Financially, Chantal sits down with Deb & Kieran to unpack their journey into Infinity and the powerful shifts they've made in a short period of time. They share what originally brought them to Infinity, how they were managing money before joining, and why they knew something needed to change to support bigger goals for their future and family. Since joining Infinity in January 2025, Deb & Kieran have completely transformed their financial structure. From paying down their home loan aggressively to purchasing three investment properties and simplifying their money management, they've built clarity, confidence, and momentum. With a clear FFF budget in place and a renewed focus on long-term goals, they're now making decisions that align with both lifestyle and wealth creation. They also open up about credit cards, changing old habits, and the sense of pride that comes from seeing tangible progress not just on paper, but in how they feel about money and the future.

In this episode of The Money Mentor, Deb and Kieran share their powerful financial turnaround after more than three decades of marriage and years of financial pressure. After relocating from Queensland to Darwin, they found themselves stuck with low income, ongoing mortgage stress, and a series of costly financial mistakes, including a non-compliant self-managed super fund. Their turning point came when Deb discovered an Infinity webinar online. Although initially skeptical, they decided to commit to learning a new financial strategy that challenged everything they previously believed about money. Within less than a year of joining Infinity, Deb and Kieran completely eliminated their bad debt, reduced their mortgage from $225,000 to zero, and shifted from survival mode into long term wealth and legacy planning. They have since acquired three investment properties and are focused on passing financial education to their children and grandchildren. Their story highlights the impact of mindset change, community support, and structured financial guidance, proving it's never too late to reset your financial future and build something meaningful for the next generation.

Mark and Simone share how they rebuilt their financial lives after divorce, blending their experiences as single parents navigating difficult settlements and trust issues. Simone originally managed her finances alone while carrying the responsibility of providing for her child. When she met Mark, they kept their money separate at first, each cautious after past relationships. Their turning point came when Mark discovered a financial strategy program that aligned with their goals and gave them clarity on how to move forward. Once they combined their efforts, they committed to paying off their mortgage and building wealth together. Simone's initial scepticism shifted as she saw the results, clearing a $500,000 mortgage and acquiring four investment properties in just three years. Their story is grounded in trust, strategic planning, and shared determination, showing how two people with challenging pasts can create a secure financial future when they learn, align, and work together.

This week's episode of The Found Podcast isn't about a flashy brand or a viral business story. It's about a woman you'll probably never see on a billboard, but whose work is changing lives quietly, consistently, and deeply in rural Eastern Iowa. In this episode, Molly sits down with Sarah Palmer, an English Language Learning (ELL) teacher in the Western Dubuque Community School District. For the past 18 years, Sarah has been teaching language, yes—but also welcoming refugee and immigrant families, connecting them to food, furniture, transportation, and community support, and modeling what everyday service can look like in a small town. You'll hear about students arriving with only what they could carry, the growing diversity in rural Iowa schools, and how public educators often become the "first point of contact" for families navigating a brand-new system and culture. This conversation is an invitation: to see the hidden work being done around you, to recognize the power of simple acts of service, and to ask how you might bring your own gifts to the needs in your community. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Sarah "fell into" English language teaching and discovered it was absolutely her calling The shift from a handful of ELL students to 40+ on a roster—and a rural school district filled with global diversity What it means to be the first trusted connection for families arriving with almost nothing The unseen ways public schools support families: food, clothing, furniture, rides, and more Stories of partnering with local organizations like Resources Unite, food pantries, and community foundations The cascade effect of one gift—a car, a bike, a bed—and how it can change an entire family's trajectory How growing up in a family of service shaped Sarah's worldview and the way she's raising her boys Why acting as "the connector" matters just as much as being the direct giver Practical ideas for how you can serve in your own community (even without a big budget or a lot of time) Resources & Links Resources Unite (Dubuque-area support + connections) Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque Connect with Molly: @mollyknuth

It reminds us that behind every statistic — tens of thousands injured children, devastated hospitals, generations haunted by trauma — there are human lives longing for healing. And it suggests that churches, when willing to look beyond comfort zones and local walls, might still...

The weight loss medication debate has taken a fascinating turn as public figures continue to grapple with the decision to use drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Oprah Winfrey, one of America's most influential personalities, has found herself at the center of this conversation, and her stance reveals the complex relationship many people have with these powerful pharmaceutical tools. For years, Oprah publicly resisted using Ozempic, stating that she felt taking the medication would be taking the easy way out. However, she later revealed that she had lost forty pounds using a weight loss medication, creating a significant shift in her public messaging that sparked considerable backlash from critics who pointed out this apparent contradiction to her earlier statements about the easy way out.The emergence of GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, has fundamentally changed how we think about weight management. These medications work by suppressing appetite while you are taking them and stabilizing blood sugar levels. The science behind these drugs is compelling. A landmark clinical trial from 2021 published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested once weekly semaglutide at two point four milligrams in adults with overweight or obesity. Participants lost far more weight than those on placebo, achieving the kind of weight loss previously seen only after bariatric surgery. Beyond weight reduction, research from 2023 and 2024 found that semaglutide reduced major cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke in people with overweight or obesity and existing heart disease, effectively moving the drug out of cosmetic territory and into life saving potential for specific patients.However, the medication comes with significant downsides that listeners should understand. Gastrointestinal side effects are not rare but rather expected. Nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea affect most users, with higher doses associated with increased risks of these symptoms. These side effects represent the number one reason people discontinue the medication. Additionally, once patients stop taking the drug, hunger signals return to normal, metabolism shifts back, and many people regain some or most of the weight they lost. This is why doctors emphasize the importance of long term lifestyle changes alongside medication use.Other public figures have shared their experiences with these drugs. Elon Musk revealed using Wegovy specifically for weight loss and fitness benefits, while Tracy Morgan joked openly about being on Ozempic and losing weight like crazy. Amy Schumer admitted to trying Ozempic but quit because side effects made daily life unbearable. Sharon Osbourne publicly discussed losing too much weight on Ozempic and struggling to regain it. These varied experiences highlight that individual responses to GLP-1 medications differ significantly.The broader cultural moment surrounding Ozempic reflects how normalized GLP-1 culture has become in recent years. Social media has accelerated speculation about whether various celebrities use these drugs, with some attributing every photograph showing weight loss to semaglutide use. This tendency reveals an important problem with how we discuss body changes and medical treatments in the public sphere. Weight fluctuations at any age can result from exercise, hormones, stress, camera angles, health events, fashion and styling choices, none of which require a prescription.Ozempic remains neither a miracle nor a menace but rather a powerful medical tool that can change lives for better or worse depending on how and why it is used. The medication should only be prescribed after proper screening for heart, kidney and endocrine issues. Doctors warn against taking it before major events like weddings or holidays, obtaining it through questionable online pharmacies, or using it purely for cosmetic transformation. These drugs require genuine medical supervision and serious consideration.Thank you for tuning in to this episode. Please come back next week for more in depth coverage of health and wellness topics.

She'd never charged for anything in her life. Never run a business. Was a stay-at-home mom for 20 years. And she was building a healing memorial garden for her community.   But she was paralyzed by guilt about charging money for something meant to help people.   Sound familiar?   In this episode, I'm sharing the exact framework I walked her through—the Belief Triad—that's helped hundreds of farmers finally charge what they need to stay in business.   Here's what you'll discover: - Why 98% of farms go out of business by year five (and the ONE skill that could change that) - The truth about what your customers actually want (hint: they WANT to pay you) - Why your fear around pricing isn't about money at all—it's about something much deeper - The exact strategy I use before doing anything scary in my business   If you've ever felt shame about wanting to make money from something meaningful, or thought "Who am I to charge these prices?"—this episode will change everything.   Your farm can't serve your community if you're broke.

Michael Leung's business philosophy centers on building genuine human connections, especially with communities that are often underserved by mainstream technology. He goes beyond the conventional sales approach, personally visiting seniors in their homes to ensure they understand and are comfortable with his Flow Group products. By doing so, he creates a trustworthy environment where clients feel valued and supported, transforming customers into advocates who help spread his mission organically.

His commitment to grassroots, hands-on engagement isn't just a business tactic. It's a core part of his belief in truly making a difference in people's lives. Michael resists impersonal, mass-market platforms, focusing instead on word-of-mouth growth and direct, face-to-face support. For him, technology should empower and restore dignity, and his determination to offer an accessible, user-friendly solution makes his impact on the senior and differently-abled communities truly profound.
