Episode #138 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I'm joined by Elizabeth Webb — The Practical Priestess™ — a transformation coach with over twenty years of experience helping women, leaders, and creatives move out of survival mode and back into lives that actually feel good. Elizabeth is the author of the upcoming book Made for Magic: A Practical Guide from Survival Mode to Soul-Satisfying Joy, which distills two decades of coaching into a practical, accessible framework for restoring energy, strengthening intuition, setting clean boundaries, and reclaiming joy.Elizabeth and I explore the idea of hidden relationship contracts - the unspoken agreements, roles, and expectations that quietly shape our relationships over time. Many of these contracts once made sense, but when left unexamined, they can create resentment, burnout, or a loss of intimacy. We talk about how to recognize when a relational contract has expired, why so many women stay stuck tolerating old dynamics, and how empowered communication can actually deepen connection rather than create conflict.We also dive into Elizabeth's tools for navigating difficult conversations with clarity and self-respect, including how to sort out needs, desires, and preferences before making a request, how to set boundaries that truly hold, and how to approach confrontation in a way that supports intimacy instead of eroding it. Elizabeth shares practical language, frameworks, and decision-making tools that help women determine whether it's time to rewrite a relationship contract — or lovingly untether and move forward.Throughout our conversation, Elizabeth brings her signature blend of grounded wisdom and real-world application, offering guidance on building self-worth, trusting your inner knowing, and reclaiming your time, energy, and choices. This episode is for anyone who knows something in a relationship feels “off,” but isn't sure how to name it or what to do next.Elizabeth has coached executives, artists, and couples across the globe, with client work spanning New York, Spain, Sweden, and the Dominican Republic. Her work has been featured in the New York Times best-selling book Live It, Love It, Earn It, and she is known for her widely shared Love Beams notes on intuition, joy, and empowered living.This is a practical, heart-centered conversation filled with tools you can start using immediately to bring your relationships — and your life — back into alignment.TakeawaysElizabeth Webb has over 20 years of experience in self-development and coaching.Her book, 'Made for Magic,' offers practical paths out of survival mode.Coaching was in its infancy when Elizabeth started, making her a trailblazer.Understanding relational dynamics is crucial for personal growth.Hidden contracts in relationships can drain energy and need to be addressed.Setting boundaries is essential for healthy relationships.Confrontation can deepen intimacy if approached correctly.Recognizing expired relational contracts can prevent resentment.Empowered conversations require clarity on needs, desires, and preferences.Building self-worth is vital before making significant relationship decisions.Sound bites"I want to wake up in the morning.""Get your finances right.""Fast to hire, fast to fire."Connect with ElizabethWebsiteInstagramLet's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastFREE Meditaion Guide

We've talked about loopholes and contract problems before, but avoiding the messiness of real estate is one of those topics you can never cover too many times.   In this episode, we're talking about all the tiny contract decisions that don't feel like a big deal until suddenly they are. Missing initials. Blank lines. Verbal promises. Appliances that magically disappear. Furniture negotiations that never end. You know the ones.   This conversation was sparked by a broker who reached out to us after stepping into a compliance role and realizing just how messy agents can get with paperwork. From there, we went deep into why clean contracts matter, how verbal agreements create risk, and why adding "just one more thing" to a purchase agreement can blow up an otherwise smooth deal.   This episode is part pep talk, part cautionary tale, and part reminder that professionalism protects everyone involved.   Here's what we cover in this episode: Why avoiding the messiness of real estate starts with treating paperwork like a legal document (because it is) How missing initials, blanks, and timestamps can create real liability Why verbal agreements are only good for setting expectations, not protecting deals The risks of "knowledge only" conversations during due diligence Appliances, furniture, grills, boats, and why movables make contracts messy fast How lenders and appraisers view non-real-estate items in contracts Why clean offers are often the strongest offers A reminder that it's not a problem until it's a problem Key Quotes & Takeaways Alissa: "It's not a problem until it's a problem. And then it's a big problem." Katy: "The more things you add to a contract, the more things can go wrong." Alissa: "Verbal agreements are only good for setting expectations, not protecting deals." Katy: "Clean offers win. Every single time." Alissa: "Professionalism isn't about being perfect. It's about being careful."

Anzalone, Reader Hit Free Agency; No Tag Coming The contracts for Alex Anzalone and DJ Reader have officially expired. The Detroit Lions are not expected to use the franchise tag on either veteran. This was anticipated. Both players are over 30 and not part of the long term plan. That does not close the door on a return for Anzalone. It simply puts both into the open market. This is routine in the NFL. On the Detroit Lions Podcast, the message was direct. Do not confuse an expired deal with a cut. The Lions did not release Anzalone or Reader. Their contracts ended on the league calendar. You cannot trade expired contracts. They are not on the roster today. Free Agents Are Off the Roster Until They Re-Sign The guidance was practical. Treat unrestricted free agents as off the roster until a new deal is signed. Build your mental depth chart around who is under contract. That includes names like Robertson and Khalif Raymond. They are not Detroit Lions right now. They can return if the sides agree. There is nothing wrong with wanting them back. Just do not plan around it until ink meets paper. The weekend brought noisy headlines. Many framed it as the Lions parting ways. That misreads the process. Free agency is a timeline, not a rupture. Contracts expire. Teams and players reassess. Decisions follow. What Anzalone Gave Detroit and Who Replaces Him Anzalone delivered real value. He arrived from the Saints with injury concerns and rebuilt his stock. He became a leader in the huddle. He handled coverage duties at a reliable level. He even played through setbacks, including a broken forearm in 2024. Jack Campbell is an All Pro. Anzalone is still the better coverage linebacker right now. That is a specific role the Lions must replace if he departs. The answer might not be on the current roster. Detroit must plan for that coverage snap volume. It is not just tackles and blitzes. It is spacing, leverage, and range. Losing that skill set changes how the second level plays. Cap Priorities Shape the Next Moves The Lions operate in a new salary cap reality. Even with a cap bump, every dollar has a path. A Jared Goff restructure is possible, but the future cash points to the core. Think Sam LaPorta. Think Jameer Gibbs. Think Brian Branch. Younger players will command raises. That priority drives today's restraint with veterans over 30. Anzalone wants to stay. If all things are equal, a reunion makes sense. All things rarely are. Detroit will weigh price, role, and timing. Reader's future follows the same logic. The board is set. Now the market speaks. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflfreeagency #franchisetag #alexanzalone #djreader #coveragelinebacker #jackcampbell #jaredgoffrestructure #samlaporta #jameergibbs #brianbranch #khalifraymond #robertson #unrestrictedfreeagent #salarycappriorities Learn more about your ad choices.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training When Melany Robinson lost 70% of her agency's revenue overnight during COVID, she didn't just "cut costs." She rebuilt her team around trust, ownership, and shared sacrifice and learned why keeping C players is one of the most expensive mistakes agency owners make. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, culture, and making hard decisions without losing your soul. Guest Overview Melany Robinson is the founder of SproutHouse, a 30-person integrated communications agency serving hospitality, real estate, and lifestyle brands. She's led her agency through rebrands, crises, and COVID, emerging stronger, leaner, and clearer on what real team culture actually means. What You'll Learn Why COVID exposed the hidden cracks in most agency team structures The real cost of keeping "C players" during uncertain times How to handle massive revenue loss without destroying trust The mindset shift from "managing people" to leading a team Why retreats, alignment, and shared experiences matter more than perks Key Takeaways You can't afford C players, especially during down cycles Shared sacrifice builds loyalty; secrecy destroys it Letting clients out of contracts can be a long-term growth play Culture isn't words on a wall. It's how people show up under pressure Great leaders give clarity, not control The best teams row in sync or the boat doesn't move Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

But culture doesn't show up when revenue is up and clients are easy. It shows up when 70% of your revenue disappears overnight. That's exactly what happened to Melany Robinson, founder of Sprout House, when COVID hit. Hospitality clients vanished. Contracts evaporated. The "we'll figure it out" optimism most agency owners run on suddenly wasn't enough. And here's the part most people won't admit: This is where weak leadership gets exposed. The Myth: "If I Work Hard and Treat Clients Well, Growth Is Guaranteed" Before COVID, Melany believed what a lot of agency owners believe: Do great work. Act with integrity. Revenue will take care of itself. COVID blew that illusion up. Revenue is never guaranteed. Clients don't owe you loyalty. And culture doesn't magically hold when fear enters the room. So instead of hiding behind executive decisions, Melany did something most agency owners are terrified to do: She brought the team into the truth. Radical Transparency Beats Quiet Panic Sprout House told clients they could exit contracts. No penalties. Then Melany sat down with her team and laid out the reality: Revenue was down 70%. Something had to change. The choice wasn't who gets cut. It was how do we survive this together? The team chose shared compensation reductions over layoffs. Some people left. Others stayed. And that's when the real lesson emerged. The Hidden Cost of C Players C players aren't bad people. They just show up for themselves first. In good times, they're invisible and in hard times, they drain energy, margin, and morale. Melany realized something every scaling agency owner eventually learns the hard way: You can't afford C players during down cycles or up cycles. They don't row in sync. They protect their seat instead of the boat. On the contrary, A-players lean in. They sacrifice. They care about the whole. And those people are worth everything. Leadership Isn't Managing. It's Creating Clarity Melany doesn't pretend to be a great "manager." Great agency founders don't micromanage. They cast vision, set expectations, and get out of the way. Clarity isn't being bossy. It's saying: "This is what needs to be done. By this date. I trust you to figure out how." That's how you get leaders, not task-doers. Why Culture Is Built Outside the Office Sprout House invests heavily in retreats and real connection. They take the team horseback riding, snowmobiling, swimming in cenotes, and playing games by the pool. Not strategy decks. Not whiteboards. Why? Because trust isn't built in Zoom meetings. It's built when people see each other as humans instead of roles. And when things get hard, that trust is the difference between fragmentation and resilience. The Agency Owner Reality Check If you're honest, you've probably felt some version of this: You're stuck in fulfillment You're carrying people who aren't carrying their weight Revenue feels fragile You're not paying yourself what you should You know something has to change, but you're avoiding the decision This episode isn't about COVID. It's about leadership. And the uncomfortable truth that scaling requires subtraction before multiplication. The Question Is Simple Who's really in your boat? Because hope isn't a strategy. And C players are more expensive than you think. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

What happens when the noise around AI starts to drown out the actual business value it is meant to deliver? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Adam Field, Chief AI and Product Officer at Tungsten Automation, fresh from the conversations unfolding at Davos. While headlines continue to celebrate agentic AI and sweeping automation claims, Adam offered a grounded perspective shaped by decades of experience turning AI pilots into measurable, ROI-driven deployments. His view is simple. The hype cycle may be accelerating, but many organizations still struggle with the fundamentals. Adam described a common boardroom dynamic. "What do we want? AI. What do we want it to do? We're not sure." That pressure to move fast often collides with a deeper reality. Software has shifted from deterministic to probabilistic. Leaders who grew up expecting the same inputs to always produce the same outputs now face systems that behave differently by design. Measuring value in that environment requires a different mindset. One of the most compelling ideas in our conversation was Adam's concept of "boring AI." While splashy announcements about replacing hundreds of employees grab attention, he argues that real returns often come from quieter use cases. At Tungsten Automation, that means intelligent document processing, extracting trusted, AI-ready data from the 80 percent of enterprise information that is unstructured. Contracts, invoices, transcripts, compliance paperwork. The work may not trend on social media, but it saves time, improves accuracy, and fits directly into daily workflows. We also explored accountability. AI can compress output, but it concentrates responsibility. When generative tools make architectural or compliance decisions, the liability does not shift to the model. Organizations remain accountable for privacy, ethics, and customer trust. Adam shared his own experience rebuilding a legacy application in days using AI code generation, only to discover licensing and compliance nuances that required human judgment. The lesson was clear. AI amplifies capability, yet human oversight remains essential. For leaders searching for signals that an AI strategy will actually deliver long-term returns, Adam pointed to two patterns from the small percentage of projects that succeed. First, integration into daily workflows drives adoption. Second, partnering with trusted vendors often reduces risk compared to attempting everything in-house. In a world flooded with open-source experiments and "X is dead" headlines, discipline and focus still matter. Tungsten Automation has spent four decades evolving alongside automation technologies, previously known as Kofax. Today, the company applies large language models and agentic workflows to transform unstructured data into decision-ready insights across finance, logistics, banking, and insurance. It is a reminder that the future of AI may be less about replacing people and more about removing friction so humans can do the work they were actually hired to do. So as AI investment continues to grow and pressure for returns intensifies, the question becomes harder to ignore. Are we chasing the headlines, or are we building systems that quietly deliver value where it counts? Useful Links Connect with Adam Field Learn more about Tungsten Automation Upcoming Events

Christians often say “Jesus is King,” but live as if someone else has to keep order. Every system promises order. Few ever ask what that order costs. Craig sits down with economist Bob Murphy, author of Chaos Theory, to explore a disruptive question many Christians have never been invited to ask out loud: What if law, safety, and social order didn't require rulers at all? This conversation isn't about voting, parties, or political strategy. It's about discipleship. Craig and Bob wrestle with fear, control, Christian politics, and the quiet assumption that force is necessary to hold a society together. They examine what a voluntary society might look like in real life—how cooperation could replace coercion, why consent matters more than compliance, and what changes when no one gets a special pass to use force “for the greater good.” Along the way, Craig keeps circling back to Jesus. If we wouldn't threaten our neighbor to make things right, why do we trust systems built on threats? And what does it say about our faith when Christian nationalism feels more practical than the Sermon on the Mount? This episode gives listeners language for naming fear, tools for thinking beyond power, and space to ask a deeper question beneath the politics: Do we actually trust the way of Jesus to hold a people together? Their conversation digs into: Why “law and order” feels safe—and what it costs What a voluntary society actually means (and what it doesn't) Contracts, incentives, insurance, and reputation as alternatives to force Why voting isn't the same as consent Fear as a driving force behind Christian politics Christian nationalism as a discipleship problem, not just a political one A simple test: would this be okay if my neighbor did it?

The Government is seeking an explanation from Oranga Tamariki. This follows confirmation of the existence of a clause which allows for 'discretionary paid cultural leave', which is self-defined and not subject to managerial scrutiny. Children's Minister Karen Chhour said that the clause was added prior to her becoming minister in 2023, and although she can't get rid of the contract, she intends to make her feelings known. "I can't scrap signed contracts, but what I can do is make my concerns about this known." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Zach Golden breaks down what OpnGovIQ really is — and why contractors who don't understand the difference between basic AI tools and a full federal CRM pipeline are already falling behind. Zach explains how OpnGovIQ's built-in agents can handle everything from capability statements to proposal timelines, FAR-based compliance questions, and even SAM.gov guidance, making it an all-in-one advantage for federal contractors moving fast. The conversation then shifts into one of the hottest opportunities in GovCon right now: AI companies entering the federal space. Zach shares why AI demand is exploding, why agencies "perk up" instantly when governance and security layers are mentioned, and why the real key is differentiation and building complementary teams — not chasing every lead at once. The contractors who position correctly now will dominate later. Key Takeaways: OpnGovIQ combines AI proposal agents + a full CRM pipeline for end-to-end federal capture AI GovCon isn't "too saturated" — the demand is so high agencies can't ignore it The winners will be firms with clear differentiators + complementary AI partnerships If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

There's a certain point in the microschool journey where dreaming turns into deciding. Where your heart for families meets the reality of tuition, payroll, enrollment systems, and leadership responsibility. And lately, inside Microschool Masterminds, the conversations have been real, raw, and deeply reflective. In this episode, I'm sharing what teachers and microschool leaders are actually wrestling with right now — the questions that don't always make it to social media, but live quietly in our heads as we lay foundations for sustainable schools. We talk openly about enrollment and the tension of raising tuition when families are already stretched thin, especially in nonprofit and faith-based microschool models. I share my own struggle with wanting to help everyone while also honoring the reality that even mission-driven schools must operate as healthy businesses — and why seeking sponsors, donors, and scholarships is not failure, but foresight. We also dive into nonprofit financial systems, including common questions around QuickBooks and Aplos, grant readiness, and why clarity matters more than choosing the “perfect” software. If you're building a microschool or homeschool hybrid and trying to get your finances organized for long-term growth, this conversation will resonate deeply. Another major theme in this episode is staffing and leadership — specifically navigating teacher contracts, renewals, and the uncomfortable realization that your school may be drifting away from its original vision. We explore whether that drift is a hiring issue, a clarity issue, or a documentation issue — and how leaders can lovingly course-correct without burning bridges. For those in their first year or preparing to launch, I also address foundational questions around first-year tuition, part-time teacher pay, prep days, hosting a microschool in your home, and how to stay realistic without losing your peace. One of the most important parts of this episode is a compassionate discussion around capacity, boundaries, and integrity — including how to lovingly and ethically communicate with families when you don't yet have the services to support certain learning needs. This is not about exclusion, but about honesty, sustainability, and doing what's best for children and leaders alike. We also briefly touch on compliance topics like background checks, spouses working in the school, and the importance of healthy systems — especially as more men step into education and leadership roles within microschool communities. If you're a teacher thinking about starting a microschool, a homeschool hybrid leader in the early years, or a seasoned founder trying to protect the heart of what you've built — this episode will remind you that you are not behind. You are building.

Host Rob Lorton sits down with two senior leaders to explore the world of government contracting in an overseas environment. He is joined by Alex Hight, Deputy Director of Contracting, Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Germany, and Casey Kopecky, Deputy Chief of Contracts, NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Italy. Alex and Casey share their extensive experience leading teams and executing contracts across Europe and Africa. They discuss the unique challenges and nuances of operating overseas, from navigating Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) and country-specific laws to the complexities of managing different currencies and the critical role of local national employees in ensuring mission continuity. The conversation also highlights the distinct contracting portfolios found abroad, including the Air Force's support to two combatant commands and the Navy's specialized work in ship repair and "husbandry" services. The guests explain how these demanding roles offer unparalleled opportunities for professional growth and a chance to work directly in support of the warfighter at the "point of the spear." Finally, for anyone considering one of these "dream assignments," Alex and Casey offer a candid look at both the personal and professional benefits, while also providing invaluable advice on how to best position yourself for these highly competitive and rewarding opportunities.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday we are welcomed back by podcast guest regular: Rape, trafficking, and abduction survivor, overcomer and warrior, devoted wife and loving mother, podcast host, content creator, author and blogger, singer and performer, vocal coach, entrepreneur, Epstein, Trump, and Ghislane Maxwell Recruit, beauty queen - past and present, and someone I've been honored to call a long-term dear friend, Molly Skye Brown. A little bit about Molly if you are new to her story, and what we will be discussing today.Born in the sun-soaked suburbs of California, Molly Skye Brown entered the world with a voice destined to echo far beyond her years. From a young age, she was a prodigy: an honor student, classically trained vocalist, and aspiring lawyer, with dreams as vast as the Atlantic horizon. But beneath this promising facade lurked early shadows of horror. At just nine years old, Molly endured a brutal rape, the first in a series of assaults that would test her resilience to its core. The first brush with the Epstein-Maxwell web came in 1992, when Molly was only 14 or 15, working at a local gym in Jupiter to earn a free membership. Dressed modestly in a sports bra and shorts after her shift, she caught the eye of Ghislaine Maxwell, who approached her with a business card and a predatory gleam. "You could easily pass for 18," Maxwell said, dangling offers of Victoria's Secret modeling gigs complete with international travel and massages. Trauma compounded in Molly's late teens and early twenties. Abducted and raped by a producer at an MTV event in 2000, she spiraled into depression, flunking out of school and hiding her pain. A year later, haunted by suicidal ideations on the assault's anniversary, she checked into Columbia Hospital in Palm Beach for help. There, fate twisted cruelly: her roommate was Lisa Villanu, a 19-year-old recruiter born into the trafficking world, who outranked her own parents in their shadowy hierarchy. Lisa befriended Molly, learning of her vulnerabilities, and soon lured her into the Epstein orbit under the guise of friendship.In late 2001, shortly after 9/11, Lisa drove Molly to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion for what was pitched as a casual holiday gathering. Instead, it was a meticulously orchestrated "matchmaking" event - a marketplace of exploitation where young women were paraded before wealthy men. Repulsed, Molly resisted, noting the red flags - the drug offers, the private "meetings," and the young girl asleep in a red-lit room amid making-out adults.But the past resurfaced in 2019 when news of Epstein's arrest triggered memories. Molly pieced together the puzzle: the gym recruiter was Maxwell, the party was a trafficking hub. Speaking out on social media and podcasts, she faced vicious backlash - and endless harassment from alleged Epstein victims and survivors - which is what we will be talking about and exposing today along with her revelations about Trump, Maxwell and Epstein and the information that has been deliberately suppressed and covered up through the limited hangout ‘Epstein Files' and narrative controlled by mainstream media and mainstream ‘alt media'.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping healthcare, yet many provider organizations still struggle to move from interest to practical application particularly when it comes to value-based care contracts. While AI promises efficiency and insight, turning it into measurable performance and financial advantage remains a challenge. In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel Marino explores how AI can be used to address one of healthcare's most complex challenges: evaluating and managing value-based contracts. Drawing on real-world experience, Daniel explores how AI can be used to build performance models that connect contract design with operational outcomes across clinically integrated networks, ACOs, and other value-based arrangements.Joined by Eddie Diaz, a data scientist with more than 15 years of experience in value-based care analytics, the discussion highlights how AI can bring clarity to attribution, risk, quality, and financial performance to help CFOs, CMOs, and managed care leaders better understand contract opportunities, risks, and results. Together, they explore how AI can move beyond hype to deliver real, actionable value in value-based care contracts.

Consolidation and “common goods and services” dominate the discussion around how the federal government wants to revamp its contracting functions, including moves to put the General Services Administration at the center of it all.Leo Alvarez and Dylan Schreiner, respectively principal and GovCon senior manager at Baker Tilly, are fielding many questions from industry clients on what this landscape looks like and how to map their business strategies to it.In this episode, Leo and Dylan walk our Ross Wilkers through some of the big-ticket vehicles to watch in 2026 and how they help illustrate the government's push to make contracting more straight-forward for every stakeholder.Navigating a world of fewer contracting officers and other key acquisition pros inside government also features in the discussion, plus what this all means for small businesses.GSA quietly rolls out CMMC-like cybersecurity framework for contractorsNew OMB memo lays out GSA's plan to consolidate contractsNITAAC finally pulls the plug on CIO-SP4GSA re-opens OASIS+ to new bids, shifts to continuous approachGSA to take over SEWP VI contract ‘sooner rather than later'Alliant 3's final solicitation hits the streetsArmy gets moving again on bundled recompete of professional services, IT vehiclesAir Force Research Lab opens proposal window for $10B vehiclePentagon halts $15B Advana recompete draft solicitation

Are You Tired of Shrinking Yourself Just to Keep the Peace?Beloved,Do you ever notice yourself orbiting around someone else's mood—adjusting, fine-tuning, quietly making yourself smaller so things stay comfortable?Is there a tender ache inside you… a longing to be chosen? To be someone's priority without having to earn it through over-giving, fixing, or disappearing?And at the same time, does a small voice whisper: What if my needs are too much?This Isn't a Flaw—It's a Survival PatternThese feelings aren't random. They're signals from your nervous system, rooted in something deeper than this lifetime.You carry invisible agreements—soul contracts formed long ago when you learned that love required self-abandonment. Codependency is the word we use, but energetically, it looks like cords and hooks that whisper: My worth depends on how well I manage others.These patterns often began in childhood, in environments heavy with unspoken needs, instability, or emotional chaos. You learned to stay safe by becoming hyper-attuned to everyone else.What Once Protected You Is Now Keeping You StuckWhen your nervous system wired itself to anticipate danger, silence your truth, or become responsible for someone else's emotions, it required a kind of forgetting—a forgetting of your original sovereignty.Even now, as you crave real connection, you might find yourself stuck in the same painful loop:* Is it safe to be seen in my full intensity?* Will I be “too much” if I ask for reciprocal care?* Can I actually rest inside relationship without vanishing?Love, I know this heaviness and low vibe feeling. And I also know it doesn't have to stay this way.So, perhaps the answer is yes. And there is work we can do together.You Were Never Meant to Disappear in Order to Be LovedThrough the Light Between Oracle, I'll walk beside you as we release the energetic contracts formed in moments of fear, confusion, or self-erasure.Using sacred technologies—unconscious contract clearing, channeling from your Higher Self, and attunement to your Light Body's intelligence—we begin restoring what your nervous system forgot.Together, we will:* Listen compassionately to the younger parts of you who believed love required smallness* Witness and clear the energetic hooks still binding you to past dynamics* Rewrite the vows that say “I must fix others to stay connected”* Restore sovereignty to your field—so you belong first to yourselfThis work is subtle, but it reverberates. Once a soul remembers its center, it doesn't easily forget again.You're Not Too Much. You're Coming Home.You were born to be loved for who you are—not for how well you manage, fix, or disappear.You are simply returning to the full frequency of who you were always meant to be: Whole. Expressed. Guided. Sovereign.Your Invitation to Step Back Into YourselfIf your heart stirred reading this, you're ready. Not because you've hit a breaking point, but because some quiet part of you knows it's time to come home.I'm waiting for you inside the Light Between Oracle app.There, you'll receive Personal Bespoke Readings crafted specifically for your energetic signature, alongside guided practices to clear your field, recalibrate your nervous system, and activate your Light Body.This isn't dependency. It's devotion—to your clarity, your healing, your divine remembrance.Allow me to walk with you.Open The Light Between Oracle now and step onto the path of sacred reclamation.With devotion,With love and order in your energy,Yours truly,Kassandra, co-creator with - EmpathicaP.S. I hope you'll join me so we can work through the stress held in your body—helping your heart and mind move through this changing world with peace.Go to thelightbetweenoracle.com This is a public episode.

Most Australians assume they'll deal with retirement living and aged care when the time comes. The problem? By the time it does, the system has already made many of the decisions for you. In this episode, we unpack why delaying retirement and home care planning is one of the most expensive mistakes people make—not just financially, but emotionally and structurally.Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates are joined by Mitch Hiam, COO of Balance Financial Group, to explain how Australia's aged care and home care systems really work—and why recent reforms are quietly changing the rules. They explore how “Support at Home,” means testing, maintenance costs, and wait times are pushing retirees into decisions earlier than expected, often under crisis conditions.The conversation challenges deeply held assumptions about staying in the family home, downsizing, retirement villages, and intergenerational living. Mitch breaks down when home care works, when it doesn't, and why time—not money—is the real currency in preserving choice and independence later in life.This episode is essential listening for Gen X, older Millennials, investors, and anyone with ageing parents, offering a clear warning: if you don't plan your retirement living early, the system will plan it for you.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction to Retirement Living Decisions01:08 — Guest Introduction: Mitch Home from Balance Financial Group01:48 — Challenges Faced by Retired Homeowners04:05 — Importance of Early Planning for Home Care09:07 — Government Policy Changes and Their Impact16:00 — Financial Trade-offs and Family Dynamics24:21 — Granny Flat Agreements and Multigenerational Living26:31 — Inheritance and Financial Planning for Retirees29:52 — Planning for Future Care Needs30:29 — Making Better Property Decisions31:37 — Understanding Retirement Villages40:10 — Costs and Contracts in Retirement Villages52:26 — Final Thoughts and AdviceAbout the GuestMitch Hiam is the Chief Operating Officer of Balance Financial Group, a specialist advisory firm focused on retirement planning, aged care strategy, and later-life financial decision-making. His work sits at the intersection of pensions, home care funding, residential aged care, downsizing, retirement villages, and intergenerational arrangements.Mitch works closely with individuals and families navigating some of the most complex—and emotionally charged—decisions they will ever face. From proactive planning to crisis-driven aged care transitions, he brings frontline insight into how Australia's systems actually operate, where people get caught out, and which decisions permanently limit future options.Known for his plain-spoken, practical approach, Mitch helps Australians understand the financial reality behind retirement living—so they can make informed decisions early, rather than forced ones later.Connect with MitchMitch's LinkedInBalance Retirement & Aged Care Specialists' LinkedInBalance Retirement & Aged Care Specialists' WebsiteResourcesVisit our website:

In this episode of the Govcon Giants Podcast, Eric Coffie sits down with Sam Le, founder of GovCon Intelligence and former SBA procurement policy leader with 17 years in federal contracting. Together, they break down the latest turbulence surrounding the 8A Program — including SBA's massive data call, the suspension of 1,100 firms, and heightened scrutiny on sole source awards above $20M. But despite the headlines, Sam explains why this may actually be the strongest moment in 8A history: the program reached a record $26B in awards in 2025, competition is shrinking, and small businesses that stay compliant can emerge with more opportunity than ever. The conversation also challenges misconceptions around "DEI labeling," highlights the true purpose of sole source contracting, and calls for SBA to expand visibility into industries like advanced manufacturing beyond the usual IT and construction pipeline. Key Takeaways: 8A is at an all-time high ($26B in 2025) even as 1,100 firms were suspended, reducing competition for active participants. Sole source contracts make up only 2–3% of federal spending, while 96% of sole source awards go to non-8A giants like Boeing and Lockheed. The biggest advantage right now belongs to firms that stay compliant, resilient, and relationship-driven before opportunities hit the bid platforms.

AI is showing up everywhere in the music industry — writing emails, summarizing deals, generating marketing plans… and now, drafting contracts. But just because AI can help with music law, doesn't mean it should. ---- Presented by LANDR - http://landr.com/otherrecordlabels ---- In this episode, I sit down with Cassandra Spangler, a New York–based music and entertainment attorney, to talk honestly about the growing trend of artists and indie labels using AI tools like ChatGPT for legal work — and why that can quietly put your catalog, your money, and your artists at serious risk. We dig into: Why AI-generated contracts often sound legit — even when they're wrong The hidden dangers of missing clauses, loopholes, and jurisdiction issues Why “I didn't understand the contract” isn't a legal defense The lack of accountability, confidentiality, and attorney-client privilege with AI How artists and labels are using AI the right way — as a starting point, not a replacement This isn't an anti-AI episode. I openly talk about how I use AI daily — including for this podcast.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has banned over 1,000 firms from receiving no-bid contracts after they failed to provide anti-fraud documents. These firms, participating in the 8(a) program intended for disadvantaged businesses, received over $5 billion in federal funds in the last four years. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler stated the action aims to dismantle discriminatory practices and combat fraud within DEI programs. The move follows increased scrutiny of the 8(a) program, including Senate hearings and reports highlighting widespread fraud and abuse. Under the law, a percentage of contracts are reserved for disadvantaged businesses. This action by the SBA signifies a significant effort to ensure accountability and prevent the misuse of taxpayer dollars within government contracting programs. The crackdown is welcome news for those concerned about fair competition and the integrity of government spending.
