Introduction to Mental Alchemy Ever felt like life melted you down just to see what you're made of? I've been there... lying flat on my back after yet another surgery, stripped of my strength, dignity, and purpose. But that moment became my forge. That's when I discovered the real power of mental alchemy. This article dives into a transformational process that most high performers overlook. Mental alchemy isn't about ignoring pain or pushing through it. It's about transmuting it. We'll explore how ancient Hermetic wisdom, blended with modern performance psychology, can help you convert breakdowns into breakthroughs. You'll learn: What mental alchemy really is Why it matters more than ever How to implement it step-by-step Common mistakes to avoid Advanced strategies for those already on the path If you're ready to stop letting pain control you and start using it as fuel for your transformation, read on. What Is Mental Alchemy? Mental alchemy is the process of transforming emotional pain, limiting beliefs, and internal chaos into clarity, strength, and purpose. Rooted in Hermetic philosophy..."As within, so without"...mental alchemy teaches that true change happens from the inside out. Hermetic alchemists believed in transmuting base metals into gold. But modern mental warriors? We transmute shame into self-respect... trauma into triumph. Psychologically, this parallels the process of emotional integration, shadow work, and cognitive reframing. Neuroscience supports it too: by changing our interpretations and responses, we literally rewire our brains. That's mental alchemy in action. Many confuse it with "positive thinking." But this isn't about bypassing or sugarcoating reality. It's about facing darkness with courage, extracting its wisdom, and choosing who you want to become because of it. Why Mental Alchemy Matters More Than Ever In a world obsessed with hustle and optimization, few talk about what happens when your inner world crashes. Mental alchemy matters because breakdowns are inevitable. Burnout. Divorce. Betrayal. Injury. Business failure. I've been through them all. The question isn't if you'll face pain... it's what you'll do with it. Here's why mental alchemy is a non-negotiable skill: -> Clarity through chaos: When emotions cloud judgment, mental alchemy helps distill truth from the noise. -> Self-leadership: It returns sovereignty. No longer are you at the mercy of triggers or circumstances. -> Performance resilience: Alchemists don't crumble under pressure. They evolve through it. In my own life, surviving a deadly avalanche on Mt. Rainier forced me into alchemy. I came out more centered, focused, and connected to purpose than ever before. Pain became my portal. Common Challenges and Limiting Beliefs Mental alchemy sounds powerful...and it is...but many struggle with common mindset traps: "Pain means I'm weak": Truth? Avoiding pain is weakness. Facing it is strength. "I should be over this by now": Healing isn't linear. Alchemy is cyclical. "I can't change my wiring": Neuroplasticity proves otherwise. I used to believe I had to "man up" and push through everything. It wasn't until I confronted my stuttering, shame, and PTSD that true transformation began. The lie that strength means suppression nearly killed me. Mental alchemy means challenging these beliefs and rewriting your internal code. The Mental Alchemy Method: A Step-by-Step Guide Step 1: Calcination – Break the Illusion This is the ego burn. Identify the limiting identities that no longer serve you: perfectionist, victim, people-pleaser. Write them down. Burn them. Feel the loss. Let go. Step 2: Dissolution – Feel It to Free It Stop numbing. Feel the grief, anger, shame. Use breathwork, journaling, or guided somatic release. Emotions are energy. Let them move. Step 3: Separation – Extract the Lesson Look into the pain.

Kim Lisa Taylor and Krisha Young of Syndication Attorneys PLLC welcome Homero Cabello Jr., the Deputy Executive Director at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Homero shares insights from his decades of experience managing affordable housing programs and tax credit compliance that can be applied to projects nationwide. We'll discuss what it takes to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), what entity structures their deals need to qualify, and how LIHTC programs benefit syndicators, investors and low income tenants. This knowledge is perfect for sponsors looking to enter or scale in affordable housing, or looking to maximize cash flow and tax benefits for their existing and future deals.  ChaptersIntroduction to LIHTC Programs and Types (00:04:40)Omero Cabello Jr. explained the two types of LIHTC programs: 9% program funding 70% of development costs, and 4% program with tax-exempt bonds funding about 80% of total development costs. He emphasized that each state must follow a qualified allocation plan dictating requirements and rules.Property Qualification and Requirements (00:07:28)Omero detailed that properties must maintain affordability for a minimum 30-year period. The program funds new construction, acquisition rehab, senior housing, and supportive housing for special needs populations. He emphasized their preference for mixed-income developments.Application Process and Common Challenges (00:08:18)Omero outlined that applications can be denied due to failure to meet threshold requirements, incomplete financial projections, and lack of local support. He emphasized the importance of securing resolutions from local government entities and state representatives.Sponsor Requirements and Team Composition (00:11:07)Omero detailed that sponsors must demonstrate experience, financial stability, and knowledge of compliance requirements. He highlighted the value of partnering with nonprofits or historically underutilized businesses.Compliance and Property Management (00:16:19)Omero stressed the importance of partnering with experienced property management companies that understand LIHTC programs and tenant qualification requirements. He mentioned Texas's robust compliance monitoring team overseeing 350,000 doors across 3,000 properties.

Toddlerhood is often described as a rollercoaster, which, as a mother to two myself, I can see why. Riding those emotional highs and lows can be a lot, but luckily, if you're also riding the waves, you're not alone. From epic meltdowns over the “wrong” snack to power struggles over everything from bedtime to toothbrushing, it's a season filled with big feelings (from both the kids and the parents!). That's why we're excited about this episode of Chick Chat. I'm chatting with Laura Amies, also known as Nanny Amies, all about surviving toddlerhood. Who is Laura Amies? Laura Amies – aka Nanny Amies – has worked with hundreds of children across her 20-year career, both in nurseries and as a private nanny, and was the TV expert "toddler tamer" for Channel Five's 'Toddlers Behaving (Very) Badly'. Laura has been supporting parents for the past 20 years. Offering a heartfelt approach to childcare and development within nurseries, schools, playgroups, family homes, and hotels worldwide. When it comes to children's behavior, she believes there's really nothing that she hasn't seen. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Laura and I chick-chat about all things toddlerhood. She shares what's really behind common toddler behaviors, how to support your child through big emotions, and the best strategies to not just survive but thrive through raising your toddler. Whether you're in the thick of tantrums or just gearing up for this stage, this conversation will leave you feeling more informed, confident, and supported. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: Can you please share with us the most common challenges parents face during toddlerhood? How can parents best navigate these challenges? What are some common mistakes parents make when dealing with toddler tantrums, and how can they handle these situations more effectively? We've all heard people describe toddlerhood as the "terrible twos," the “threenager” stage and even the “fournados.” What are your thoughts when you hear these terms, and do you believe they are truly as terrible as people say? Emotional regulation is a huge milestone for children. How can we parents help our toddlers navigate big emotions like frustration, anger, or sadness?  What do you see as the most pivotal moments of toddler development?  What advice would you give to a first-time parent who's about to experience the challenges of toddlerhood? Toddlerhood doesn't have to feel like a battlefield. As Laura reminded us, these challenging moments are opportunities for connection, learning, and growth — for our children and for us as parents. With the right tools, realistic expectations, and a little perspective, you can feel more in control and less overwhelmed. If you're navigating the toddler trenches right now, I hope this episode reassures you that what you're experiencing is normal and that you're not alone. Laura's wisdom is a gift, and I'm so grateful she shared her practical, heartfelt strategies with us. Be sure to share this episode with a fellow parent who could use a little extra support during this season. We're all in this together!

All I have needed thy hand hast provided; Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.  Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.  Ecc. 9:7 Romans 8:35,37-39 He Giveth More Grace Listen Here 1. He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength as our labors increase; To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials He multiplies peace. 2. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father's full giving is only begun. 3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, Our God ever yearns His resources to share; Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. 4. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

In the latest episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche dive deep into the art of fostering effective communication, particularly in the tech and development world. They explore developers' communication challenges and provide actionable strategies to encourage open dialogue and productive discussions. Why Fostering Effective Communication Matters in Development Communication is crucial in any industry, but for developers, it can often take a backseat to technical work. Rob and Michael highlight how developers sometimes tend to shut down conversations by providing statements rather than engaging in meaningful discussions. This can lead to misunderstandings, missed opportunities for collaboration, and a lack of innovative solutions. Common Challenges in Fostering Effective Communication One key takeaway from the discussion is the need to transition from closed yes/no questions to more open-ended inquiries. For example, instead of saying, "Is this the right approach?" they suggest reframing it to, "How would you approach this differently?" Such questions invite feedback and create opportunities for more insightful conversations. Strategies for Fostering Effective Communication in Meetings Michael emphasizes the importance of being intentional with language to ensure productive conversations. He suggests writing down key points during meetings but presenting them one at a time to avoid overwhelming the team and ensure each point gets the attention it deserves. Encouraging Junior Developers Through Effective Communication A major challenge in fostering effective communication is encouraging junior developers to share their thoughts. Rob shares his experiences mentoring junior developers and how important it is to create an environment where they feel safe and valued. He recommends asking junior team members for their perspectives and ensuring their ideas are heard and considered, even if they might initially seem unconventional. Balancing Productivity and Fostering Effective Communication While fostering discussions is essential, Rob and Michael acknowledge that there are times when developers need to focus on getting tasks done. They recommend using asynchronous communication methods like email or project management tools to capture ideas without interrupting workflow. This approach helps balance productivity with the need for collaboration. Practical Ways to Foster Effective Communication Every Day Michael brings up the issue of information overload in meetings. He points out that rapid-fire questioning can overwhelm others and stifle meaningful discussion. Instead, he suggests pacing conversations, allowing time for thoughtful responses, and following up through different communication channels if necessary. How AI Tools Can Support Fostering Effective Communication The hosts also touch upon using AI tools like ChatGPT to refine communication. Rob shares an interesting hack where AI can analyze emails or statements and suggest more diplomatic and engaging alternatives, helping users fine-tune their communication style. Weekly Challenge: Assess Your Conversations To help listeners implement these strategies, Rob challenges them to reflect on their conversations over the next seven days. After each meeting, please take a moment to evaluate whether the statements made encouraged discussion or inadvertently shut it down. Identifying these patterns can help in making conscious improvements. If you find yourself making statements rather than fostering discussions, challenge yourself to reframe your approach in the next conversation. Use open-ended questions and invite feedback to create a more collaborative environment. Final Thoughts Fostering effective communication is not just about asking the right questions; it requires creating an environment of trust and encouragement. By being mindful of how we communicate and actively seeking input from others, developers can collaborate more effectively and drive innovation. Listeners are encouraged to apply these techniques and share their experiences through feedback. Whether through email, social media, or direct comments, Rob and Michael are eager to hear how these insights make a difference in real-world scenarios.

We explore the profound concept that "Clarity Precedes Competence," reframing hardships as stepping stones to growth, and the role self-awareness plays in transformative leadership. Gavin unpacks how busyness has become the modern-day "I'm fine" and reveals how leaders can reclaim their time for what truly matters. Dive into Gavin's fascinating Leadership Archetypes—the Pleaser, Ostrich, Imposter, Dynamo, and the Judge & Juror—and learn practical ways to recognize and grow beyond these tendencies. Whether you're navigating the complexities of middle leadership or looking to refine your approach, this episode delivers a fresh perspective and powerful strategies to help you emerge stronger and more focused than ever. Don't miss this engaging conversation with one of education's most inspiring voices! About Gavin Grift: Gavin Grift's career in education began in 1992 as a primary school teacher, where he spent 15 years fostering student agency and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. His innovative practices and dedication to improving teaching led him to roles beyond the classroom, including serving as a cluster educator, where he supported eight schools in developing instructional strategies to enhance student outcomes. This pivotal role marked Gavin's transition from classroom teaching to educational leadership, focusing on systemic improvements in teaching and learning. In 2007, Gavin co-authored Assessing the Whole Child with Jane Satchwell, emphasizing student-led portfolios and conferences to empower students in their assessment processes. The book's success sparked invitations to present their work nationally, leading to partnerships with Hawker Brownlow Education to expand their reach. Around this time, Gavin's interest in cognitive development deepened after attending a Cognitive Coaching seminar with Thinking Collaborative. This experience shaped his approach to education and leadership, ultimately prompting him to transition into full-time consultancy, working with schools to strengthen teaching practices. Gavin's career reached new heights as he became Executive Director of a professional development venture created by Hawker Brownlow Education and Solution Tree. Under the mentorship of Richard and Rebecca DuFour, Gavin helped schools across Australia implement Professional Learning Communities, fostering collaboration and transforming teaching practices. During this period, he co-authored Teachers as Architects of Learning and deepened his international influence as a Cognitive Coaching training associate, supporting educators globally in reflective practices and leadership development. His widely praised books, including Emerge, Transformative Collaboration,

In episode 111 of Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton and Asila Calhoun explore:  The challenges nonprofit staff face when transitioning into leadership roles Managing difficult conversations: a key leadership skill Effective leadership in remote environments.  Episode Highlights: [00:06:15] Common Challenges of New Leaders New leaders often struggle with delegation, managing former peers, and giving feedback. Asila discusses how these challenges stem from an inability to let go of tasks or set clear boundaries in new roles. [00:09:20] The Importance of Delegation Asila explains that delegation is not just about offloading tasks but creating growth opportunities for team members. She guides leaders to reflect on what prevents them from delegating and the negative consequences of not doing so. [00:013:20] Managing Peer-to-Leader Transitions Transitioning from peer to leader is difficult due to personal relationships. Asila advises setting clear expectations and professional boundaries to maintain effective leadership. [00:15:20] Preparing for Difficult Conversations Preparation is key for delivering feedback. Asila suggests narrowing down feedback points to be concise and effective, ensuring the conversation leads to productive outcomes. [00:18:15] Trends in Nonprofit Leadership: Burnout and Overwhelm Burnout and resource constraints are common among nonprofit leaders. Asila encourages leaders to set boundaries and focus on self-care, emphasizing that overextending oneself leads to diminished effectiveness. [00:20:30] Self-Care and Leadership Effectiveness Leaders need to protect their time for self-reflection and well-being to avoid burnout. Asila shares an example of a client who realized that sacrificing personal time led to lower performance and overall well-being. [00:21:15] Organizational Support for Mental Health Asila recommends organizations integrate self-care practices, such as meditation or ensuring employees take real time off, to foster a healthy work environment. [00:22:30] Remote Leadership While remote work has become more common, Asila stresses the importance of intentional leadership in a virtual environment. Leaders should ensure equity among team members, regardless of their physical presence, and make deliberate efforts to include remote staff in team dynamics. [00:26:00] Hybrid Work Models and Intentionality For hybrid teams, Asila suggests coordinating in-person time to foster collaboration, while being mindful of not creating biases against remote workers. [00:29:20] Investing in Leaders Asila's final message invites nonprofit leaders to invest in themselves through coaching and leadership development. This investment not only enhances their own leadership but also drives their organization's mission forward.   Guest Bio: Asila Calhoun, owner of Calhoun Coaching & Consulting, is a certified coach whose leadership and executive coaching practice focuses on partnering with new leaders through executives from a variety of professional backgrounds who are ready for change.
