From a childhood fire that left him with burns over his entire body to becoming a bestselling author and global speaker, John O'Leary's story is one of resilience, faith, and the power of love in action. In this conversation, John reflects on the ordinary people who showed up during his darkest hours—family, teachers, and friends—whose courage and kindness helped him heal. His journey reminds us that we don't need a cape to be a hero; we simply need to choose love, offer kindness, and believe that even the smallest actions can change a life. With the upcoming release of his film Soul on Fire, John continues to inspire others to see their life as a gift and to live it with purpose.  Key Takeaways:  Love and kindness have the power to heal and inspire — even in life's most difficult moments.  Small actions can create big ripple effects that impact generations.  Courage often shows up in ordinary people who choose to step forward.  Community support plays a key role in resilience, reminding us we don't heal alone.  Each of us has a purpose to use our life for good and to lift others along the way.  Join us for the Kindness Campaign and help create a ripple of compassion in your community!

Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given less than a 1% chance to live.   This epic story of survival was first showcased in Overwhelming Odds, the book his parents wrote in 2006. It was this book that first invited John to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world.   Today, John inspires tens of thousands of people at more than 100 live and virtual events each year. He partners with companies and organizations across fields, such as: sales, healthcare, safety, marketing, finance, faith, education and insurance.   Consistently described as “the best speaker we've ever had,” John's tireless schedule is a testament to the power of his message. His emotional storytelling, unexpected humor and authenticity make each presentation unforgettable.   John is a two-time bestselling author of On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life and In Awe: Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspiration, Meaning and Joy.   John's award-winning Live Inspired Podcast has more than seven million downloads and enjoys world-class guests such as Brené Brown, Mitch Albom, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Bob Costas.   Amazingly, John's story is taking on a new form: a full-length feature film starring Joel Courtney, John Corbett, and William H. Macy. SOUL ON FIRE will be release in theaters nationwide on October 10, 2025.    Regardless of his professional accomplishments, John considers his greatest success to be his marriage to his wife Beth, their four children and his relationships with friends and family.    Connect with John O'Leary at:  https://johnolearyinspires.com/   https://soulonfiremovie.com/    https://www.facebook.com/JohnOLearyRisingAbove  https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-o-leary-08b2805/   https://www.instagram.com/johnoleary.inspires/,   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRXJIPZAni0_zakjCFh5VTQ    Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening! Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

What's more criminal in the book world – dog-earing pages or cracking spines? Would you abandon all fantasy books forever if it meant never having to read another detective novel? These are the tough questions we're tackling in our latest Book Bites episode!We're playing a bookish version of "Would You Rather" that reveals surprising insights about our reading habits and preferences. From debating whether we'd rather read only books with ugly covers (but amazing writing) or gorgeous editions filled with terrible prose, to considering whether we'd survive better in a fantasy world without plumbing or a dystopian society where books are banned – our answers might surprise you!The conversation takes amusing turns as we weigh the pros and cons of slow-burn romances versus insta-love, standalone novels versus series commitments, and whether we'd rather have an enemies-to-lovers story with no tension or a friends-to-lovers tale with zero chemistry. Our passionate reactions to certain scenarios (particularly around book care and unsatisfying endings) reveal just how deeply personal our relationships with books truly are.This light-hearted episode offers a window into what readers value most in their literary experiences. Do we prioritize beautiful prose over plot? Would we sacrifice comfort for freedom? And why does the miscommunication trope drive us absolutely crazy? Join us for laughs, literary debates, and the revelation that some book preferences might actually be dealbreakers!We'll be sharing these questions on our Instagram for you to weigh in with your own choices. Which side will you take in these bookish dilemmas? Let us know!Support the showEditing done by Connor Luther @clfilms.coMusic by @thundercatlouisMerch Here

For six years, I've poured my heart into building a microschool—creating a place of freedom, belonging, and personalized learning. My daughters were the reason I started this journey. And yet, today, neither of them are with us at our microschool. In this episode, I open up about: My daughter's transition from a small, nurturing microschool environment into the overwhelm of middle school. My other daughter's leap from being “homegrown” in our microschool to navigating the struggles of public school—and what that has meant for our family. The stress, meltdowns, and dysregulation kids face when systems don't meet their needs. My personal reflections as a mom and a school founder—what I would have done differently, and what I'm learning now. This conversation isn't just my story—it's for every parent torn between options, every teacher leaving a broken system, and every microschool builder wondering if they're enough. You'll hear not just the heartbreak, but also the hope of finding the right support systems and building something better for our kids. ✨ You are not alone in this. Together, we're navigating school choices with courage, conviction, and community.

THE GOOD DEATH VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR: Suzanne B. O'Brien RN in Conversation with Karen Midlo When Karen unexpectedly lost her husband, she embarked on a journey that reshaped her understanding of life and death, moving from her demanding role as an executive director in senior living during the COVID-19 pandemic to finding her true calling as a certified death doula and grief educator. In this episode, Karen shares her transformative experiences, showing how moments of deep challenge fueled her passion to support seniors and their families. Together, we navigate the complex landscape of end-of-life choices, including Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) and Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED), clarifying misconceptions and highlighting their significance. With an emphasis on clear communication and family support, we examine the impact of dementia on planning, drawing attention to valuable resources like the dementia toolkit from Compassion and Choices that help ensure informed, personalized decisions. Karen also reflects on the sacredness of end-of-life experiences, illustrating how, with the right education and support, these moments can shift from fearful to profoundly meaningful. Through her personal stories and dedication to community education, the episode underscores the importance of embracing conversations about death, concluding with gratitude for Karen's invaluable contributions and anticipation for future discussions that will continue to illuminate the profound journey of life and its inevitable end.   (00:02) Finding Purpose in End of Life (10:08) Exploring End-of-Life Choices and Planning (18:18) Embracing Life and End-of-Life Education (28:42) Empowering End-of-Life Education and Support (38:16) End-of-Life Education and Support    Join the waitlist for our Fall Live Semester  Register to join us for FREE: THE GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB EXPERIENCE: 12 MONTH FREE DEATH AND DYING COURSE  Or visit our website here!  GET THE GOOD DEATH BOOK Here     Meet our guest: Karen Midlo End-of-Life Doula & Certified Grief Educator Email: eoldoulakaren@gmail.com Cell Phone: 281-910-3313 Website: endoflifedoulasid.doulagiverslegacyleaders.com  Please Share!   Know someone who is a caregiver, healthcare worker, or spiritual seeker?

In this episode, I'm calling out one of the biggest patterns that keeps women stuck: saying “life got in the way.” But you know what? — life is always busy. There's always something pulling at your attention. But skipping your workouts, dropping your routine, or abandoning your healthy habits is still a choice — and one that leaves you feeling worse. This isn't about blame. It's about taking back your power. You'll learn: Why “life got in the way” is often a sign of deeper habits How to stay consistent even when things feel chaotic What to do when you're tempted to give up This episode is your reminder that you can be fit and healthy even in a full, busy life — and that showing up because of the chaos (not in spite of it) is what changes everything. Click play and let's dive in.

Life is full of choices... but will we choose life?

Episode 1805: Stephen Warley explores how excuses quietly sabotage progress, keeping us stuck in familiar patterns instead of moving toward the life we want. By recognizing the hidden costs of rationalizing inaction, he shows how shifting from avoidance to accountability unlocks personal growth and freedom. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lifeskillsthatmatter.com/stop-making-excuses/ Quotes to ponder: "Excuses are little lies you tell yourself to avoid change."

Break the cycle of self-sabotaging decisions and finally create the life you've been wanting. If you're tired of repeating the same mistakes, struggling with career direction, or wondering why your choices keep leading to frustration instead of fulfillment, this message will give you a clear framework for change. Pastor Vance reveals three foundational choices that successful people make consistently - choices that can transform your career, relationships, and personal growth starting today.

https://enlighteninglife.com/disappoint-inconvenience2/When talking to clients who are preparing to make big life changes, especially those who are kind hearted, gentle, forgiving, and compassionate empaths (which includes many of you), they will inevitably say that they don't want to disappoint someone in their life, who may not like or appreciate the changes they are considering.It can be disappointing to someone who is very connected to us and who counts on us and our presence in their lives to have that suddenly disappear when we are unavailable to meet or serve their needs. But are they really disappointed, in the real sense of the word, or just inconvenienced because now what they depended on you for has to be done by someone else, or they have to do it themselves?Disappointment or inconvenience -- there is a huge difference that you should know so you make choices that serve you and your intention from an empowered, guilt-free and shame free perspective with your energy resources intact and standing on the firm platform of your energy boundaries.What is the difference between disappointment and inconvenience? For example, if I invited you to attend an event with me, was looking forward to spending time with you, thought that you would enjoy yourself, and knew that we would have a great time together., and you couldn't go, I would be disappointed because I really wanted to spend time with you.But, if I had an invitation to an event, needed someone to go with, asked you because I thought you would be available and then you cancelled, I would be inconvenienced (but say that I was disappointed) because now I need to find someone else to go with me or go by myself.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

On this segment of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're continuing our Grandparents Day discussion with a closer look at the extracurricular activities, hobbies, and lifestyle choices that influence how grandparents think about real estate today. It's not just about downsizing or moving closer to loved ones. Many grandparents are looking for homes that align with their active lives — whether that means proximity to golf courses, pickleball courts, walking trails, cultural events, or even having space for gardening, hobbies, and community gatherings. These decisions go beyond bricks and mortar; they reflect a vision for retirement and how they want to spend their time. We'll explore how these lifestyle factors connect with housing trends across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. For example, neighborhoods that offer easy access to social clubs, recreational amenities, or even lock-and-leave convenience are increasingly popular among retirees and grandparents. At the same time, many are balancing the need for convenience with the desire to have room for the grandkids when they visit. As always, we tie it back to real estate strategy. The right home isn't just about square footage—it's about supporting the life you want to live. Whether you're planning to downsize, relocate, or simply reimagine your space, understanding how your lifestyle influences your home search can help you make smarter, more fulfilling decisions. And don't forget: with our Upside Program, you can explore every option before you make your next move. At Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're here to help you go from novice to expert so you can buy and sell real estate with total confidence—and without the worry that often comes with life's biggest investments.
