When lawyers start thinking about leaving, they focus on the practical steps. What career should I pursue? How do I update my resume? What skills do I need? Those things matter, but Sarah consistently hears from lawyers that they underestimated something else. They didn't realize how much they needed to know they weren't alone.The legal profession can be deeply isolating, especially for people who are unhappy. In a field focused on prestige, lawyers often feel like they have to maintain a professional persona just to be taken seriously. It becomes hard to admit that the work doesn't fit, even to yourself. Lawyers who want out often believe they're the only ones who feel that way. They look around at colleagues who seem fine and wonder what's wrong with them for struggling.In this episode Sarah shares why finding even just one or two other people also going through this process can make leaving the law so much easier. See show notes at formerlawyer.com/292

About this episode: Join Carolin as she takes you behind the scenes of her personal journey inside The Manifestor Community - a story that began with one tiny, illogical urge in 2022. You'll hear how a small initiation unfolded into something far bigger than she ever could've imagined: becoming the Social Media Manager, expanding into backend support, and eventually stepping into a Department Head role. But this episode isn't just about her story within the Manifestor Community. It's about the power of the small initiations - the micro urges, tiny nudges, quick sparks - and how they create long-term ripple effects in ways we can't always foresee. We explore: How accumulated micro-initiations can shape purpose, opportunity, and identity. Why resistance often shows up right before we take action and the psychological “before the jump” moment where doubt, fear, and paralysis kicks in. This episode is equal parts storytelling, energy wisdom, and grounded encouragement. If you've ever doubted your urges, dismissed a tiny initiation, or felt frozen right before taking action… this one is for you. About Carolin: a 1/3 Emotional Manifestor and Virtual Assistant & Social Media Manager. She has been supporting TMC in the backend since 2023 and is the Department Head for Community Support since early 2025. IG: @carolin.rupp

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Niv discusses her work at Joyus, a public benefit company focused on revolutionizing mental health care through personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments.    Dr. Sharon explains the history of ketamine as a treatment for mental health, its mechanisms of action, and the importance of community support in the healing process.    Nick asks Dr. Sharon questions that address common concerns and stigma surrounding ketamine treatment, emphasizing its low risk and potential benefits.    Their conversation also explores the role of neuroplasticity in mental health recovery and the future of AI in therapy.    Dr. Sharon provides insights into personalized treatment protocols and encourages both patients and therapists to consider the benefits of ketamine therapy.   Key Takeaways:    Dr. Sharon Niv is a cognitive psychologist bridging neuroscience and therapy. Joyus offers personalized at-home microdose ketamine treatments. Ketamine was first synthesized in the 1950s and is used safely in medical settings. The drug has shown promise in treating severe depression and suicidality. Ketamine works primarily on the glutamate system, unlike traditional psychedelics.

On this Make A Difference Minute, Girl Scout Abby Wilson shares how quickly her community responded when she asked for help collecting plastic lids for her Silver Award project. In just a short time, neighbors and local fire stations stepped up, helping her gather an incredible 650 pounds of recyclable material that became buddy benches and toddler picnic tables. Abby also offers the message she hopes others will take from her project, that even small acts, when supported by many people, can create something meaningful and lasting. It's a reminder of what can happen when a community chooses to work together. Sponsor: Bankston Motor Homes BankstonMotorHomes.com

the supply was dwindling due to a delay in deliveries.Sv: Sofia studerade listan hon hade i handen.En: Sofia studied the list she had in her hand.Sv: "Vi har inte mycket tid innan allting är borta," sa hon och kastade en blick upp mot hyllorna där varorna snabbt försvann.En: "We don't have much time before everything is gone," she said, casting a glance up at the shelves where the goods were quickly disappearing.Sv: Johan nickade instämmande.En: Johan nodded in agreement.Sv: "Vi måste vara smarta med vad vi väljer."En: "We have to be smart about what we choose."Sv: Emil började gå runt i butiken.En: Emil started walking around the store.Sv: Varorna var få, och behovet stort.En: The goods were few, and the need was great.Sv: Han plockade upp en av de sista värmepåsarna och kände tyngden i sin hand.En: He picked up one of the last heat packs and felt the weight in his hand.Sv: Den skulle komma bra till pass under kalla nätter när temperaturen sjönk till botten av termometern.En: It would come in handy during cold nights when temperatures dropped to the bottom of the thermometer.Sv: "Vi kanske borde köpa tillsammans," föreslog Johan.En: "Maybe we should buy together," suggested Johan.Sv: "Om vi delar på saker och ting kan vi klara oss bättre."En: "If we share things, we can get by better."Sv: Efter lite diskussioner kom de överens.En: After some discussions, they agreed.Sv: De bestämde vad som var viktigast, och köpte noggrant det som räckte till alla.En: They determined what was most important and carefully purchased what was enough for everyone.Sv: Men precis när de plockade åt sig det sista, erinrade sig Johan att han hade glömt att ta med några värmepåsar.En: But just as they were picking up the last items, Johan remembered that he had forgotten to bring some heat packs.Sv: Emil tittade på värmepåsen i sin hand.En: Emil looked at the heat pack in his hand.Sv: Ensam skulle han ha behövt fler.En: Alone, he would have needed more.Sv: Men han såg på Johan och Sofia och insåg att detta var ett tillfälle.En: But he looked at Johan and Sofia and realized this was an opportunity.Sv: Det fanns inget mer hemma.En: There was nothing more at home.Sv: Med ett litet leende räckte han över påsen till Johan.En: With a small smile, he handed the pack over to Johan.Sv: "Vi kommer att behöva ta hand om varandra," sa Emil och kände värmen av deras sällskap i det lilla rummet.En: "We'll need to take care of each other," said Emil, feeling the warmth of their company in the small room.Sv: Kylan utanför var oförändrad, men inombords kände Emil en förändring.En: The cold outside was unchanged, but inside, Emil felt a transformation.Sv: Vindarna må ha blåst starkt mot utposten, men bland sina kollegor, sina vänner, hade Emil funnit något mycket mer värmande än en enkel värmepåse.En: The winds might have been blowing strongly against the outpost, but among his colleagues, his friends, Emil had found something much more warming than a simple heat pack.Sv: När de tillsammans lämnade butiken med sina förnödenheter, visste Emil att han inte längre var ensam.En: As they left the store together with their supplies, Emil knew he was no longer alone.Sv: Han var en del av en gemenskap, där varje handling av framåtanda och delad värme skulle se dem genom den långa, kyliga vintern.En: He was part of a community, where every act of foresight and shared warmth would see them through the long, chilly winter.

Living with a disability shouldn't mean fighting for basic care—but for far too many, it does.

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.
