If I were to ask you if your life ever felt tranquil, you would probably do one of two things: bust out laughing or look at me like I was from another planet.I get it, I really do. Which is why I'm so excited to have the author of one of my absolute tippy-top recommended books with me today. Laura Vanderkam is a time management expert, mother of five, and the author of Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. Laura suggests that to bring more tranquility to our abundant, unpredictable lives, we don't need a perfect schedule, what we need is a resilient schedule. In the book, she outlines nine ways that will help us manage the chaos and live joyful, sustainable lives. It sounds much more accessible, right? Today, we're going to talk about how we can actually achieve tranquility in our lives, even in the busiest phases of our lives.In this episode, you'll hear: How to reframe the way you think about how much time you have (hint: it might be more than you think!) Why doing something three times a week counts as a habitThe rule that gets the most resistance, and why sticking to it is so essentialLearn more about Sarah Mackenzie:Read-Aloud RevivalWaxwing BooksSubscribe to the NewsletterFind the rest of the show notes at: readaloudrevival.com/laura-vanderkam Join us for the upcoming Circle with Sarah Retreat: Happy Homeschooling

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. It's a new year, and that means the crew is back with their annual year-end awards and predictions episode. First up: the 2025 winners and losers. From Trump's meme-coin windfall to Gary Gensler's legacy getting torched, from prediction markets going mainstream to Web3 getting its official eulogy — no one is safe. The team debates the biggest surprises (Circle's shocking IPO run, Ethereum's pivot under new leadership, Zcash's unlikely comeback), the best new mechanisms (ICO 2.0, DATs, federal preemption), and the year's best memes (including the Chopping Block's own tariff factory video). Then comes the flops and comebacks: AI agents that overpromised, Berachain's fall from grace, and Tether somehow winning again. Finally, the crew reviews how badly their 2025 predictions aged — spoiler: not great — and lays out fresh calls for 2026 including AI-powered hacks, stable-coin-funded AI capex, and equity perps taking over DeFi. New year, fresh takes, brutal honesty — let's get into it. Show highlights

As the co-founder and CEO of Circle — the fintech powerhouse that issues USDC, a popular cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar — Jeremy Allaire has had a front-row seat to the crypto revolution. Circle now commands a market cap of over $20 billion, yet Jeremy insists it is still an "early stage company." Why? Because the true transformation of the global economy, he says, is just beginning. "In this episode, Jeremy and Rufus discuss how the economic system is becoming “internet native," what happens when money becomes programmable, and why blockchain is the "major missing layer" of the internet.

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays! We announced our new book quest in the Lorehaven Guild: Taliesin Onscreen: ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Onscreen: ‘David' Creators Answer all Your Questions About the Animated Hit Movie, Josh Shepherd Engage: Alleged ‘Rock and Roll' Soundtrack Incites Suspicion of Netflix's Narnia Movie, newcomer Sierra Simopoulos Sierra Simopoulos also reviewed Sons of Day and Night My own article: Why Christians Need Fantastical Stories Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Stop by the homepage for many upgrades, especially the Library. Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

"Change me first." Those three simple words changed everything for me. As we kick off Season 5 of the Dominate Your Day podcast, I want to share my own story. I had outward success—a respected career, titles, and accomplishments that looked great on paper—but felt empty on the inside. People-pleasing, fixing, and performing leadership left me exhausted and disconnected from who I really was. In this episode, you'll hear how learning to focus on what I could actually control sparked an internal revolution, restored my marriage, reshaped my leadership, and led to the creation of the Authentic Imprint™ formula. I also share what's ahead for the podcast as we enter our fifth year and why this next season will go deeper into real-life transformation stories. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Change starts with me. Lasting transformation doesn't come from fixing others or circumstances it begins when I take responsibility for what's happening inside me.  2. Emotional recognition is the multiplier. Strengths, values, and mission only work when paired with emotional recognition the ability to notice and name what's happening inside you before it drives your behavior.  3. You don't need to be more productive you need to be more you. Alignment, not achievement, is the key to sustainable leadership. When you lead from the inside out, transformation ripples through your life, your relationships, and your organization.  Episode Minutes: Minute 3: The Drama Triangle and Circle of Control Minute 6: Discovering Authentic Leadership Minute 9: The Authentic Imprint Formula Resources from This Episode: Take the free 3-minute Authentic Imprint™ Assessment Get a copy of The Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand from Within Plan your days by actively using your strengths with The Strengths Journal™ Book a 30-minute discovery call to discuss your executive and team development needs

If you've ever wondered about your rights during an arrest, or what really constitutes “unlawful,” this episode delivers clear answers, practical advice, and a much-needed reality check.Welcome back to another episode of Lawyer Talk! Today, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen talk about a hot-button topic that's sparked tons of debate and plenty of strong opinions: Can you legally resist an unlawful arrest?Building off recent listener questions and comments, the conversation unpacks what the law actually says, where confusion often arises, and—most importantly—why the courtroom is the right place to argue an unlawful arrest, not the streets.Together, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen break down misconceptions about probable cause, discuss real-world scenarios, and clarify the difference between legal defenses after the fact and dangerous choices in the moment.Moments03:55 "Charges, Police, and Legal Defense"07:49 "Resisting Arrest and Court Rights"Here are 3 key takeaways:Legal Rights vs. Practical Realities: While Ohio law recognizes resisting an unlawful arrest as a legal defense, trying to do so on the street can have dangerous—and even fatal—consequences. The courtroom is the right place to fight back, not during the incident itself.Probable Cause Standard Is Low: Many people misunderstand what constitutes “probable cause.” As Troy Henricksen points out, it doesn't take much for an officer to make a legal arrest—matching a vague description might be enough.Courtroom Is the Battleground: Steve Palmer emphasizes that even if an arrest is later found to be unlawful, resistance during the arrest can lead to additional charges. The best course of action is to comply in the moment and let your attorney fight for you in court.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

When President Trump ordered a military operation into Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York, he crossed a line that America has talked around for decades but rarely states out loud in plain English: we removed the ruler, and we intend to manage the aftermath. And then Trump removed any remaining ambiguity by saying the United States would “run” Venezuela at least temporarily, while openly tying the “transition” to oil, infrastructure, and U.S. leverage. If you've spent years hearing people call Trump “a modern Cyrus,” this moment should stop you cold. He's not Cyrus by a long shot.“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, In the 2025 National Security Strategy, the White House explicitly says the U.S. will “reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine” to “restore American preeminence” in the Western Hemisphere, and will deny outside powers the ability to control “strategically vital assets” in the region. This is the exact opposite of promises he made when running for election and then reelection. If Trump is playing Cyrus, who exactly is being restored in Venezuela right now—and who is holding the keys? Because the public messaging is not “Venezuelans will govern themselves immediately.” The public messaging is “we'll run it,” “boots on the ground,” and “oil will pay for it.” This is no Cyrus we're looking at, it's Nebuchadnezzar.

Pastor Tommy on Acts 2:42-47 

Genesis 4 gives us a challenging but important set of instruction regarding the kind of worship that God accepts. We'll look at the offering of Cain and Abel and see that there is a very real kind of worship that God is looking for. We'll also see, that Cain struggle for sincere worship was the overflow of a life out of fellowship with the Lord. Join us!   DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Circle every reference to the name "Cain." Looking back over this chapter, how many times does his name occur? What does this tell us about who this chapter is ultimately about? 2.    Underline every place where the Lord speaks. What kind of "tone" is in the Lord's words? Why do you think the Lord speaks with this tone towards someone who is in outright rebellion to Him? 3.    In verse 2, what were Cain and Abel's occupations? How did that influence the offerings they brought to the Lord? Do you think that mattered to God? Why or why not?  4.    In verse 4, what does it mean that God "had regard" for Abel and his offering? How do Hebrews 11:4 and 1st John 3:12 help us understand why God had regard for Abel's sacrifice and not Cain's?  5.    In verse 7, what was tempting Cain? What was Cain's responsibility in dealing with that temptation? How did he handle it? 6.    In the New Testament, Jude 11 warns us about "the way of Cain." What does this passage tell us about Cain's self-made religion and self-made society? How has society today gone after the "way of Cain"?  7.    According to the study, how does Genesis 5:4 answer the question, "Where did Cain get his wife"? 8.    As you prayerfully look into your own life, are there any places where you are following in the ways of the world and not the way of the Lord? What would it look like for you to follow the way of Abel and Seth?  9.    If you're seeing parts of your life out of fellowship with the way of the Lord, how about laying those items before the Lord so that His transforming grace might enable you to live in conformity with His instructions?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Steve Smith is a legendary former NFL wide receiver, celebrated for his tenacity, intelligence, and relentless drive both on and off the field. From humble beginnings as a “poor black kid who was unsubsidized,” Steve carved out an extraordinary football career with a no-“plan B” mindset, earning admiration as a future Hall of Famer and an inspirational community leader. Post-retirement, Steve has channeled that same passion into business, media, and philanthropy—especially his work in mental health with Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUCK). Known for his authenticity, leadership, and fiercely competitive spirit, Steve continues to impact lives by leading with purpose, candor, and heart. Takeaways: Relentless Focus on Plan A: Steve Smith's story is rooted in his “no plan B” determination—putting everything into football to change the trajectory for his family, and later carrying that same intensity and commitment into business and philanthropy. Mentorship and Learning: Steve highlights how mentorship allowed him to take the “elevator,” learning from the successes and failures of others to accelerate growth and avoid common setbacks. Emotional Intelligence and Growth: Steve openly discusses improving his emotional intelligence, especially in learning to pause before reacting, reflect on his feelings, and balance his directness with empathy—crucial lessons for both life and leadership. Sound Bytes: “If I couldn't catch a football, I wouldn't have got my foot in the door. But understanding my intelligence and my willingness to learn keeps me in the door.” –Steve Smith “Just because they are receiving assistance doesn't mean you lessen their respect of who they are as a human being.” –Steve Smith “How I can critique but not criticize... and give guys the benefit of the doubt. However, if the film tells enough of the story, I can't give you what you didn't earn.” –Steve Smith Connect & Discover Steve: Instagram: @stevesmithsr89 YouTube: @89show YouTube: @ironedoutw89

Speculation on how the escalation in spending correlates with success, mirroring trends in college football. Additionally, the episode covers the proliferation of softball games accessible via ESPN platforms, the role of podcasts like 'In the Circle' in keeping fans informed, and the influence of social media algorithms in disseminating softball-related content. Lastly, Coach Tory encourages listeners to support college softball at various levels and to engage with the sport through live games and practices.Support the show

Send us a textStanding at the threshold of a new year, we ask a hard, freeing question: what is mine to hold, and what is mine to let go? We look back on a year of conversations that shaped our hearts, then lean into a fresh practice of healthy detachment that protects, rather than weakens, secure attachment. With Karen Casey's Let Go Now as a guide, we explore how choosing to act instead of react creates the quiet where love grows—and how stepping away from chaos can be the most compassionate move in the room.If you're ready to unhook from other people's storms, honor your limits, and carry a softer, truer strength into 2026, this conversation is your companion.

Year of the Horse 2026 marks a powerful shift from shedding to momentum. Learn how to let go in the final week of the Snake year and move forward as a Conscious Warrior. Table of Contents Toggle There is a Moment Every Year That Most People MissThe Year of the Snake: Why the Final Week Matters More Than the Whole YearShedding Is Not Emotional—It Is StructuralWhy Most Men Fail the Transition Into the Year of the HorseYear of the Horse 2026: Momentum Belongs to the PreparedThe Conscious Warrior Difference: Identity Before ActionForward Motion Without NoiseThe Final Week Ritual: Shedding to Prepare for MovementWhat the Year of the Horse 2026 Will Give You—If You MoveThe Choice at the Threshold There is a Moment Every Year That Most People Miss It doesn't arrive with fireworks or bold resolutions. It doesn't come wrapped in motivation quotes or productivity hacks. But it quietly determines whether the next year becomes a breakthrough—or just another repetition of old patterns. The final days of the Year of the Snake are not about planning. They are about shedding. And the Year of the Horse 2026 is not about wishing. It is about movement. This transition—from Snake to Horse—is one of the most archetypally powerful shifts available to a human being. Not as astrology. Not as fate. But as symbolic instruction for anyone walking the path of the Conscious Warrior. One season asks: What no longer belongs? The next demands: Are you ready to move forward? Most people try to move forward while still carrying what should have been released. That's why momentum collapses by February. The weight never left. This post exists to make sure that doesn't happen again. The Year of the Snake: Why the Final Week Matters More Than the Whole Year The Snake archetype is not about speed. It is about awareness, discernment, and precision. A snake does not negotiate with what no longer fits. It does not rationalize the old skin. It sheds. The final week of the Year of the Snake is a threshold. A psychological and symbolic doorway between identities. What you carry across that threshold determines how freely you can move once the Horse arrives. Most people skip this step. They rush into new goals, new plans, new habits—while dragging old environments, outdated identities, and unfinished emotional weight behind them. The Conscious Warrior pauses here deliberately. Instead of asking, “What do I want next year?” the more powerful question is: What am I still carrying that makes forward motion heavier than it needs to be? This is not spiritual fluff. This is structural identity work. Shedding Is Not Emotional—It Is Structural Letting go sounds soft until you do it properly. Shedding in the final week of the Snake year is not about venting feelings or writing poetic intentions. It is about removing friction from your life. Real shedding is physical, environmental, behavioral, and relational. Examples of conscious shedding: Old clothes that represent past versions of yourself and reinforce outdated identity narratives Books you will never read but keep “just in case,” symbolizing postponed growth and indecision Commitments that drain energy without returning meaning, progress, or genuine fulfillment Digital clutter that fragments focus, attention, and the ability to think clearly Roles you perform out of habit rather than alignment, purpose, or conscious choice When you remove physical weight, mental clarity follows. When you remove outdated identity markers, momentum becomes possible. The Snake teaches a hard truth: you cannot become new while clinging to what made you old. Why Most Men Fail the Transition Into the Year of the Horse The Year of the Horse 2026 carries a completely different energy. Horse energy is forward-driving, expansive, decisive, and movement-oriented. It favors action over analysis and courage over comfort. But here's the problem. Horse energy punishes hesitation. If you enter the Year of the Horse still negotiating with the past, the year feels chaotic. If you enter it still carrying unnecessary weight, you experience burnout instead of momentum. This is why so many men describe years of “constant motion but no progress.” They are moving—but dragging. The Conscious Warrior understands that speed without release creates exhaustion. Movement without alignment creates collapse. Year of the Horse 2026: Momentum Belongs to the Prepared The Year of the Horse 2026 is not about reckless action. It is about disciplined forward motion. The Horse archetype rewards: Clear direction rooted in values, long-term vision, and deliberate choice rather than reaction Personal responsibility for actions, outcomes, energy management, and the life you are creating Courageous movement despite uncertainty, resistance, fear, or lack of external validation Willingness to leave the familiar, including comfort zones, identities, routines, and social approval Once shedding is complete, the Horse asks a different question: Where are you willing to move—consistently—even when motivation disappears? This is where fantasy ends and practice begins. The Conscious Warrior Difference: Identity Before Action Most self-improvement advice starts with behavior. The Conscious Warrior starts with identity. Who you believe yourself to be determines what you tolerate, what you pursue, and how you respond under pressure. The transition into the Year of the Horse 2026 is an identity initiation. The question is not, “What habits will you try?” The question is, “Who are you willing to become when comfort is removed?” The Horse does not ask for perfection. It demands commitment. Forward Motion Without Noise Forward momentum does not require chaos. It requires clarity. In the Year of the Horse 2026, simplicity becomes power. The fewer directions you run, the farther you go. The Conscious Warrior chooses one direction: One physical standard that anchors discipline, health, strength, and daily embodiment of self-respect One mental discipline that trains focus, reduces noise, sharpens decision-making, and builds inner authority One emotional boundary that protects energy, limits resentment, and prevents old patterns from resurfacing One meaningful pursuit that channels effort into purpose, growth, contribution, and long-term fulfillment This is how momentum compounds. The Final Week Ritual: Shedding to Prepare for Movement This short integration practice bridges the Snake and the Horse. This is not symbolic theater. It is action. Step 1: Physical Release Choose five items you no longer use, wear, or need. Remove them from your space with intention and decisiveness. Donate, discard, or recycle them immediately to signal closure. Let your environment reflect who you are becoming—not who you were—so your space actively supports forward momentum. Step 2: Commitment Audit Write down every recurring commitment in your life, including work, social, digital, and personal obligations. Circle the ones that drain energy or feel obligatory rather than aligned with your values. Choose one to end or renegotiate before the new year begins, creating space for disciplined forward movement. Step 3: Identity Statement Complete this sentence and write it by hand slowly and deliberately, not digitally: “In the Year of the Horse 2026, I move forward as a man who ______.” Do not list goals. Describe character, standards, behaviors, and the way you intend to show up daily. Step 4: First Movement Choose one small action that aligns with that identity and do it within 48 hours without negotiation. Momentum respects speed, decisiveness, and immediate embodied action. What the Year of the Horse 2026 Will Give You—If You Move The Horse does not reward waiting. It rewards: Consistent effort applied daily, regardless of mood, motivation, or external circumstances Decisive action taken without overthinking, delay, or constant need for reassurance Personal responsibility for choices, outcomes, standards, and the direction of your life Alignment over approval, choosing truth, values, and integrity instead of validation If you have shed properly, the Year of the Horse 2026 becomes expansive. Energy returns. Focus sharpens. Progress becomes visible. If you have not, the year feels demanding, exhausting, and unforgiving. The difference is preparation. The Choice at the Threshold Every transition carries a decision. You can drag the past forward and call it experience. Or you can shed it and call it wisdom. The Snake teaches release. The Horse demands movement. The Conscious Warrior does both. Final Invitation If you are ready to step into the Year of the Horse 2026 with clarity, discipline, and forward momentum, begin with identity—not effort. The Conscious Warrior Code is designed to help you shed what no longer serves and move forward with purpose, strength, and alignment. You do not need more motivation. You need a code. Step forward when ready. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts 11 Self-Motivation Tips- Warrior Mind Podcast #581Your Life's Vision: Warrior Mind Podcast #4357 Best Home Workout Tips To Shape Up Your BodyOvercoming Fear: The Warrior's Guide to Unshakable Confidence The Connection Between Mental Strength and BurnoutLooking at Beliefs DifferentlyThe Power of the Paradox: Warrior Mind Podcast #328Speaking Your Truth: Warrior Mind Podcast #395

This is our final episode of the year on Open Book, and I wanted to slow things down for a moment and take stock of what we've built together.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest breakout stars in Netflix's reality TV world, Chloe Veitch! Chloe first rose to fame on Too Hot To Handle, quickly becoming a fan favorite with her humor, honesty, and a big personality. She went on to compete on The Circle and later on Perfect Match, and most recently hosting Sneaky Links After Dark, building a reputation as one of the most recognizable faces on Netflix reality universe. Beyond television, Chloe has leveraged her fame into a career as a model, influencer, and content creator, connecting with millions of fans across social media. Chloe opens up about her early dream of pursuing a career in London's West End, how her relationship with money has evolved, and why she used opportunities as a form of escapism growing up. She shares how getting signed to a boutique London agency at 18 — and taking an unpaid modeling job — unexpectedly led to Too Hot to Handle, plus the reality show she almost joined and why she played The Circle more strategically. Chloe breaks down how TV exposure turns into brand deals, the hard lessons she's learned about valuing income, why being single performs better on reality TV, and the one show she would never do again. She also dives into hosting — landing her first job without an audition but needing to sell the concept to Netflix — getting off ADHD medication, controlling the energy in the room, knowing when to walk away from relationships, launching her Big Sister radio segment with the Unwell Network, the power of loyal followers, standing firm on non-negotiables, and the advice she'd give her younger self. Chloe reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

It’s time for a change. Since I started my handmade business, Epheriell, in 2008, the world has changed so much. I have changed so much. In 2008 I was a 27 year old tuition centre manager, living with my English boyfriend in the Brisbane suburbs, and I started making jewellery in my spare time to fulfil a creative urge I had neglected for years. When I started Epheriell as a hobby business, I had zero idea that I would be here, talking to you, almost 18 years later, after having built a number of different businesses – all in the realm of the handmade sphere – and having turned over almost two million dollars from those businesses in those years. Wow. I’ve never pulled that number up before! It’s a bit overwhelming to think I managed to create products with my own two hands and one brain, and have been able to make a living from them for all this time. But. The world has changed. I have changed. And it’s time for me to move on. So, as of June 2026, I’ll be retiring from handmade business education, and I’ll be putting Epheriell on indefinite sabbatical. What will I do next? I don’t actually know yet. But we’ve finally reached a point where we are in the financial position to allow me to take a sabbatical where I will have the space to rest, reflect, get the dosage of my MHT right (😆), and decide what’s next for me. I’ve officially reached middle age this year – I keep joking about the fact that I got my first reading glasses and my MHT prescription in the same week! I turn 45 in 2026, and like the elder millennial that I am, I have been obsessed with the internet since I first dove into the world of message boards, IRC, fandom, Geocities, Altavista and Ask Jeeves when I was a fresh-faced 15-year-old in 1996. Did you know, I made my very first website (on Geocities, of course) back in 1996 or 97 – and it was an X-Files fan site? It was pretty popular too! Though of course, the internet was a much, much smaller place back then. Since then, I’ve launched various blogs, started various businesses, worked for other people’s online businesses, been an affiliate, run a podcast, various YouTube channels, sold jewellery under 2 different brands, sold ads on my own site, launched a membership, sold ebooks and ecourses… I’ve tried all sorts of things and made money online in myriad ways since making that very first website (which, of course, made me zero dollars, but my nerdy friends thought it was cool, so…). Suffice it to say,  I’ve been here for a long time. 30 years! I always dreamt of making a living from the internet, and it took me about 12 years to finally crack how to do it properly – which started when I stumbled on Etsy back in 2008 and opened that first shop. It has been an amazing journey, and I have loved so much about it. It has enabled me and Nick to live a life we love. To live in a place we adore. To have so much freedom of time, to travel regularly to visit friends and family overseas, and to live a low-stress life. But I’m ready to move on. I’m also ready to take a break from the internet. I have slowly faded away from most social media over the last few years. I have no interest in instagram any more. I pretty much only use Facebook to find events to attend IRL. Threads I have been enjoying, because it felt like a breath of fresh air to actually talk WITH people again, but even that is growing thin for me right now. Don’t even get me started on TikTok (ugh). I have been putting myself and my face and my life out there on the internet since my early 20s. But as I get older, and the changes in the online world loom, I feel the need to take a step back and just be again, without sharing things publicly with the world. It’s time for retreat, recalibration, and reflection. To decide what I want to do with this next phase of my life. And to do that, I’m stepping away for a time. Does that mean I’ll never come back online? Not at all! I might decide to start up my YouTube again. Or to launch something totally new. And it doesn’t mean I’m disappearing today. But I am aiming to be on sabbatical by the winter solstice here in Australia, which is June 21st, 2026. Why am I telling you so early? Because I’m going to offer a bunch of things for the last time, and it felt disingenuous to do so without being upfront about it. I’ve always tried my best to be honest and keep firm grip on my integrity in a space where that seems to be increasingly rare. I want you to know what’s happening, and why, so you can prepare and be aware – and if you so choose, to take advantage of my offers with full knowledge. If you are in my community, or are one of my students, Thriver Circle members, or Epheriell customers, here’s the timeline of exactly what’s happening. Timeline December 2025 Thriver Circle final launch – December 29th till January 7th. If you join at this time, I will unlock the full Your Year to Thrive course, so you will have just under 6 months to work through it at your own pace during this time (which does mean doing 2 lessons a week instead of 1 should you want to). You will have full access to all other courses and workshops, and I will still be running 2 live calls each month until the end of May, and I’ll be active in the FB group community. February 2026 Set Up Shop runs for the final time – February 9th till March 10th. April 2026 I will offer shop critiques until April 6th, then they will no longer be available. May 2026 I will offer the Wholesale Know-How course until May 4th, after which it will no longer be available. June 2026 The Thriver Circle will close forever on June 8th, 2026. Members will no longer have access to any aspect of the Circle, including the FB group, courses, workshops, podcasts. All memberships will be cancelled and all payments will be stopped by this date at the latest. I encourage members to cancel their membership when their May payment is deducted, as you will then stay an active member until the shut-down should you so wish. I will archiving all my social media – bar YouTube (I’m leaving all my free videos up) in June. Epheriell will be placed on sabbatical on June 8th, 2026. This will give us time to process any final orders by the time I take sabbatical. (I’m not ruling out opening Epheriell again in the future, but it will be a long while – probably at least 18 months – until I do so – unless Nick decides he wants to run it without my input, but he’s gotten himself a good permanent part-time government job so that will probably keep him busy enough!). On June 21st I will hopefully be done with all the work to wrap up the businesses, and will be stepping away from all social media for at least 6 months and taking a sabbatical from work and the online world.  I’m not going to lie, I am simultaneously elated and terrified to take this step. I’ve been feeling the urge to move on for a while now, but the circumstances were not in alignment until now, and I know that if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I will regret it immensely. I’m excited to take my first real break from paid work since I was 16, and I’m so thankful to Nick for joyfully supporting me in this choice. I want to take a moment to thank him, publicly, for all the work he has put in since this all began back in 2008. Not only in the business – of which he has been an employee for over a decade now (and let’s be honest, an unpaid helper before that) – but in our life together. He has been unfailing in his support – both emotional and practical – from day 1. He has been the main home manager – taking care of the fundamentals of life like cooking, cleaning, shopping, mowing, repairs… all of those ‘mundane’ things that most women have bear the mental load of, even when they are working as well. He’s freed me up to manage and run the businesses – and we have assisted each other in our respective spheres all this time. It’s going to be quite the dynamic shift as he goes ‘to work’ (even though he’ll still be mostly working from home, thankfully!) and I take on more of the domestic load for the first time in our relationship. I couldn’t have a more supportive partner in business and life, and I am so grateful every day that we chose to travel through life together. Thank you so much, Nick, for all that you are and all that you do. I love you, and I couldn’t have done this without you. So – I’m not going anywhere just yet, but I wanted you all to know what 2026 has in store. I will still be here, enthusiastically running my businesses and helping you for the first half of 2026, and I will treasure the chance to work in this space – and with you – for these last few months. It’s been an amazing career, and it wouldn’t exist without you. I want to say thank you to YOU. To the 6,000+ people who’ve bought a piece of Epheriell jewellery. Thank you for trusting us to make a treasured piece of jewellery. Particularly those of you for whom we’ve made wedding rings. Every one has been special and we’ve been honoured to make it for you. To every person who’s read my blog posts, my emails, listened to my podcast, or watched a YouTube video – I hope something I said has helped you! I have put so much free content out there over the years that honestly, you could have built your whole business using just that (and I know people who have, because they’ve told me!). But, most deeply, I want to say thank you to the thousands of past and present students who have paid me actual money to teach and help you grow your businesses: all I can hope for is that I haven’t let you down. I hope what I shared made a difference, I hope it was valuable, and I hope that you continue to chase your dreams, whatever they may be. I have always loved the handmade community – there are still so many genuine, creative, wonderful people making things with their hands and hearts. And in this ever-more-digital and fast-everything world we live in, I think handmade has more value than ever. May you all continue to add your unique beauty to the world. Now I’m going to sign off before I make myself cry. Keep Thriving, Jess The Thriver Circle is open now, for the last time. Join Now Then and Now Nick and I in 2008, at the housewarming for our first rental together. This is where I started Epheriell.
