Mercylyn Odibo, author of X-Rays of Little Hopes, opens up about her powerful journey from heartbreak to healing and creative purpose. Once unsure if her book would ever be published, she now celebrates a story that connects faith, love, and human resilience. Her novel centers on Prue, a woman who experiences betrayal, disillusionment, and profound loss before rediscovering herself and her faith. Through Prue's eyes, readers witness the pain of misplaced trust, the desperation to be loved, and the beauty of rebuilding after devastation. The story reflects Mercylyn's desire to help others who have felt broken find meaning, courage, and hope again. In the episode, Mercylyn explains how X-Rays of Little Hopes was born from her longtime habit of journaling and her passion for storytelling. She began with the title itself, which symbolized how even the tiniest spark of hope can light the darkest moments. The novel took years to shape, combining her own reflections with the experiences of others who inspired her. She wanted to write something more than a simple romance, creating a story that tackles real emotions and social issues—betrayal, loss of trust, false expectations in relationships, and the danger of ignoring red flags for the sake of love. The result is a faith-based novel that feels genuine and relatable, not preachy. While rooted in Christian values, it is also designed for readers who want a good story about imperfect people finding redemption. Quotes: “The best, most beautiful thing anybody can do for themselves is be who they are. Love yourself and do the best you can.” “There's always a yes for every no, and not giving up is key.” “Don't let anyone define who you are... Pray every day, because good things come out of something bad.” Resources: X-rays of Little Hopes are available on Amazon Follow Mercylyn Odibo on Facebook Discover more of Mercylyn's inspiring stories
Send us a textBill Caskey follows up on last week's deep dive by sharing insights from coaching a high-performing salesperson who's hitting the limits of process-driven selling. He reveals why even the best sales process isn't enough—you must show up authentically and have the courage to disqualify prospects who aren't truly committed. Through a compelling coaching story, Caskey explains how being grounded in who you are allows you to spot the 20% that's missing in a conversation and walk away from deals that would compromise your integrity, ultimately increasing your close rate with the right clients.Download your complimentary copy of the 12 Bold Moves audiobook at 12BoldMoves.com/Audiobook

Two decades ago, Shaun McCloskey (visionary coach and founder of Leadership Boardroom) thought he had it all: A thriving real estate empire, 70-hour work weeks, and the external markers of success. Then he realized he was living his mentor's blueprint, not his own, trapped in a business that consumed his life. His 2007 wake-up call came when he discovered his "successful" mentor was miserable and had lost his family. Within 18 months, Shaun completely transformed using a simple framework he now teaches worldwide. This raw conversation will challenge everything you think you know about success, productivity, and what it really means to live life on your own terms.

What happens when two high-achieving Enneagram Threes sit down with an Enneagram Four? You get an electric, honest, and surprisingly tender conversation about ambition, fear, and what it really means to live courageously. In this episode, Ian sits down with Jenny Wood, former Google executive and author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It, and her Chief of Staff, Carlina Daugherty, for an unfiltered look at the drive and depth behind the Enneagram Three. Together, they explore: · Why fear — not talent — is often the real barrier to success · The nine "wild" traits that fuel courageous leadership (and how to keep them from derailing you) · How two Threes with different subtypes actually make the perfect team · Jenny's raw reflections on control, comparison, and rediscovering what "enough" really means · The second half of life — and why it's less about achievement and more about awakening It's an episode packed with laughter, candor, and the kind of vulnerability that reminds us: success without self-awareness isn't success at all.
Enneagram Fives—the Investigators—bring curiosity, insight, independence, and a calming, steady presence to both life and parenting. Sissy and David highlight how Fives notice patterns others miss, think objectively, set healthy boundaries, and dive deep into learning. Their measured energy and calm in crisis can be a superpower at home, helping kids regulate and feel safe. They also explore common stretches: retreating into the mind, mistaking self-protection for not needing relationships, cynicism/sarcasm when fear rises, and feeling drained by the constant demands of family life. The episode offers grace (manna for today) and practical growth steps for Five parents—express warmth (not just wisdom), choose presence over preparation, and engage emotions before problem-solving. For kids who may be Fives, they share ways to reassure, gently invite connection, honor refueling needs, and nurture quirky passions.

Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.

Cowardice is killing men—not with bullets or blades, but with daily compromises. Every time we choose comfort over courage, we surrender part of our soul. In this episode of Manlihood, Josh Hatcher challenges men to stop avoiding responsibility and to live with boldness, truth, and conviction.

The Daily Pep! | Rebel-Rousing, Encouragement, & Inspiration for Creative & Multi-Passionate Women
✨ My Seasonal Living Class starts this Saturday 8th November! Click here for more info and to book your spot! ✨Today we're diving into our unfinished ideas, why they're so important and what they can teach us.
In this delightful episode of "Reading with Your Kids," host Jed Doherty sits down with two remarkable authors who are changing the landscape of children's literature through powerful storytelling. First up is Christie Mandin, who introduces her charming character Millie Fleur. In her latest book, "Millie Fleur Saves the Night," Mandin explores themes of community, difference, and courage through the lens of a quirky character living in Garden Glen, a neighborhood where conformity is king. Mandin shares her own experiences of not fitting into traditional "boxes" and how this inspired her writing. She passionately discusses the importance of literacy, empathy, and understanding, highlighting how reading can help children develop critical thinking and compassion. The conversation then shifts to Claribel Ortega and her "Witchlings" series. Ortega's books follow three young witches who are considered "spares" - magical outcasts who must prove themselves. She reveals how the story emerged almost magically, with the first line appearing in her mind and demanding to be written. The series tackles complex themes like community, resilience, and challenging systemic injustices, all wrapped in an engaging magical adventure. Both authors emphasize the power of storytelling in helping children understand complex social dynamics. They discuss how their books encourage young readers to be curious, kind, and brave in the face of fear and difference. Mandin's work explores how communities often fear what they don't understand, while Ortega's series shows how young people can overcome systemic challenges through friendship and determination. The episode is a heartwarming celebration of children's literature, showcasing how books can be powerful tools for teaching empathy, understanding, and social awareness. Jed Doherty's engaging interview style brings out the authors' passion and insights, making this a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in the transformative power of storytelling.
If you have ever needed a dose of courage, this episode is for you. Linda's guest, James Staake, joined the podcast with updates to the unbelievable story of cancel-culture chaos that occurred when their family business, Your American Flag Store, was censored, debanked, and nearly run out of business for simply making custom patriotic flags. Cancel culture affected millions of people over the last several years, and the example of what James and his family endured is indicative of what so many others similarly suffered. However, James chose to speak up against injustice - even when others tried to silence him. As a result, he has been able to positively impact policy in his state and around the country. James decided silence was not an option in the fight for freedom. His courage is contagious.

If you've ever been told to "just get back on" after a fall, to "be braver" when you feel afraid, or to "push your horse through it," this episode is for you. In this conversation, Felicity Davies unpacks The Bravery Myth - a powerful look at why traditional ideas of courage and control often backfire for both horse and rider. You'll learn how forcing yourself or your horse through fear can actually breaks trust and create anxiety, and what to do instead to rebuild confidence, safety, and connection from the ground up. Through stories from real clients and her own experience as a horsewoman and mentor, Felicity explores:

We are living in an age that mocks conviction and celebrates compromise. If you dare to speak biblical truth, you'll be called intolerant. If you stand for righteousness, you'll be labeled judgmental. And if you live with purity and purpose, you'll be accused of being “religious.” But God is raising up women who will not bow to that pressure—women who will live boldly in a generation that's lost its backbone.Let's call this what it is: spiritual warfare. The enemy has convinced too many believers that faith should stay quiet, polite, and private. But the same Spirit that filled Deborah when she led an army, that empowered Esther when she faced a king, and that strengthened Mary when she carried the Messiah—that same Spirit now lives in you.Bold faith doesn't mean you never feel fear; it means you don't obey it. It's not the absence of trembling—it's the decision to stand firm while trembling. Courage is not confidence in yourself; it's confidence in the One who called you.Joshua 1:9 declares, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” God didn't say, “Try to feel brave.” He said, “Be strong.” Why? Because strength isn't a mood—it's a mindset anchored in His presence.The truth is, faith without boldness is faith that stays buried. The early church didn't pray for comfort; they prayed for courage. When Peter and John were threatened for preaching the gospel, Acts 4:29 records their prayer: “Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.” The result? The place where they prayed was shaken. That's the kind of faith Heaven responds to.So, what does bold faith look like for you, right now?Maybe it's refusing to laugh at that crude joke at work. Maybe it's praying publicly with your children before a meal. Maybe it's confronting a friend in love who's drifting from truth. Maybe it's sharing your testimony when everything in you wants to stay invisible.Bold faith says, “I'd rather be misunderstood by men than disobedient to God.”We need modern-day Esthers—women who understand that influence is for intercession, not image. Esther didn't post a hashtag; she risked her life. She didn't ask for applause; she asked for favor. And when the moment came, she stood before a king with trembling hands and an unshakable heart. Her boldness saved a nation.We need women like Deborah, who didn't wait for permission to lead. She heard from God, stood up in her assignment, and called men back to the battle they'd abandoned. Deborah's strength wasn't rebellion—it was revelation. She didn't dominate; she activated.And we need women like Mary, who said yes when the world would never understand. Her obedience birthed salvation itself. Imagine that—history changed because a teenage girl believed that God's Word outweighed her reputation.Here's the truth: timid Christianity has never changed the world. God never called you to be “nice”; He called you to be holy. The cross wasn't comfortable. The gospel isn't convenient. But it's worth everything.Your faith will always look foolish to those who worship comfort. Noah looked crazy until it rained. Moses looked defiant until the sea split. Rahab looked reckless until Jericho fell. And every woman walking in obedience today will look “too much” until Heaven vindicates her.That's what bold faith does—it offends hell and inspires Heaven.Sisters, the next generation needs to see women who won't compromise truth to be liked. Your daughters and granddaughters are watching. They need examples of women who don't chase trends—they chase transformation. Who don't crumble under pressure—they pray through it. Who don't echo culture—they correct it in love.And make no mistake—bold faith doesn't mean brashness. It's not pride dressed up as passion. It's humility on fire. It's grace with grit. Jesus was both the Lion and the Lamb; you're called to carry both. Boldness without love is noise. But love without boldness is powerless. The two together? Unstoppable.So, wherever you stand today—at work, at home, or online—remember: you are an ambassador of Heaven. When you speak, the Kingdom advances. When you pray, strongholds tremble. When you walk in obedience, hell loses ground.
Fear. Self-doubt. Resistance. Every heart-driven creative meets them - but what if they're not roadblocks… they're invitations to rise?In this episode, we - CB and Season 7 co-host KMJ, psychic medium and founder of Tapestry Tarot - drop into an intuitive reading for brave creatives navigating the messy middle of bringing their dreams to life.

Season 8 of Lessons I Learned in Law continues in partnership with Wordsmith AI, the legal-AI platform built for in-house teams.This week, Scott is joined by Emily Barker, Global General Counsel and Executive Committee member at Arcadis, the Dutch-headquartered, Euronext-listed design, engineering, and sustainability consultancy employing more than 32,000 people worldwide.Emily reflects on stepping into her first executive leadership role, moving beyond legal advice to help shape global business strategy. She shares how courage and optimism, two qualities not traditionally associated with lawyers, can transform teams and drive real-world change. Her first lesson explores the power of a forward-looking mindset in tackling challenges like climate transition and sustainability.Emily's second lesson, global vision, local wisdom, highlights the importance of understanding local culture and nuance in a global business. As an Australian lawyer fluent in Dutch and embedded in the Netherlands, she's a rare hybrid leader who bridges global strategy with local insight.Her final lesson focuses on human-centred leadership, why empathy, collaboration, and connection now matter more than technical precision. From managing a 130-person legal team to navigating cultural complexity, Emily's story is a masterclass in modern in-house leadership.Guest Recommendation
Ben and Tommy discuss President Trump's threat to invade Nigeria to stop a (nonexistent) genocide against Christians and the international community's total failure to stop an actual genocide happening in Sudan. Also covered: why Trump's pitch to restart testing of nuclear weapons might be his worst (and scariest) foreign policy idea to date, why FBI Director Kash Patel's trip to visit his girlfriend is getting slammed by right-wing commentators, the uproar in Israel over a torture investigation, election wins for left-wing candidates in Ireland and the Netherlands, Trump's overtly racist refugee policy, and the final nail in the royal coffin for Prince Andrew. Then Ben speaks with Sanna Marin, the former Prime Minister of Finland, about the double standards women in leadership face, and her new book Hope in Action: A Memoir About the Courage to Lead.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

So often, we allow anxiety to take the driver's seat, leading us to believe that if we can control every aspect of our lives, we will find peace. However, I invite you to explore with me the paradigm shift that comes from recognizing what is indeed within our control and what isn't.The discussion begins by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our current environment, where uncertainty seems to prevail. In these moments, our minds can spiral into an anxious loop filled with "what if" scenarios. I highlight that while our minds are extraordinary problem solvers and have kept us safe throughout history, that very capability can become counterproductive when anxiety takes hold. As we unpack this, we see how anxiety amplifies our reactions to uncertainty, leading us to try managing aspects of life that are far beyond our reach.I introduce the idea of a conceptual circle that represents the dichotomy between what we control and what we don't. Inside this circle, we can focus on elements such as our choices, self-care, and responses to daily challenges. Outside that circle lies the unpredictable — the weather, other people's decisions, and countless scenarios that we cannot influence. I emphasize the crucial shift towards redirecting our attention from the outer circle back to our own sphere of influence, positing that our true power resides there.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #Anxiety, #FindingCalm, #Uncertainty, #Control, #Acceptance, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #SelfCare, #StressRelief, #Resilience, #MentalWellness, #WhatIsInYourControl, #Stoicism, #MarcusAurelius, #AnxietyManagement, #LettingGo, #NotAControlFreak, #AnxiousMind, #NervousSystem, #EmotionalRegulation, #PeaceInThePresent, #StopFixing, #EmbraceUncertainty, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietyAwareness, #PersonalPowerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Christina Galbato—entrepreneur, creator, and host of She's WELLthy—for an honest and deeply personal conversation about growth, spirituality, and the courage it takes to start over. Christina opens up about walking away from her multi-million dollar online education business to rediscover who she truly is beyond her success and public identity. She shares how hitting rock bottom became the beginning of a profound spiritual awakening that transformed every part of her life—her work, friendships, and sense of peace. We talk about the messy middle of transformation, the beauty of letting go, and what it means to build a life that's rooted in alignment rather than achievement. Christina also shares the practices that helped her rebuild—like meditation, surrender, and faith—and how she's now leading with purpose, authenticity, and presence. If you've ever felt called to burn it all down and begin again, this episode will remind you that peace, power, and possibility are always waiting on the other side. Liked this episode?

Painting the picture of their life to be perfect and surrounding themselves with people that make them look good or earning a certain amount of money, and just hoping that those external things will soak in and make them happy when really it's about making your internal world aligned, calm, present joy within yourself, so that no matter what happens outside of you, you still remain in that state.” - Christina Galbato GUEST RESOURCES: IG: www.instagram.com/christinagalbato website: www.christinagalbato.com RESOURCES:

Martha MacCallum, executive editor and anchor of The Story on Fox News, co-anchor of Fox News Politics, and author of Unknown Valor: A Story of Family, Courage, and Sacrifice from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima, joined The Guy Benson Show today to unpack the results from last night's off-year elections in NYC, NJ, and VA. MacCallum discussed the New Jersey governor's race and why Democrats' blowout win over Jack Ciattarelli caught many off guard, especially as Ciattarelli appeared close in the most recent polling. MacCallum analyzed how young and Latino voters appeared to swing back toward Democrats after previously moving towards Trump in 2024, and why economic and foreign policy issues may have played a key role in the Democrats' sweep. MacCallum also weighed in on Zohran Mamdani's tone-shifting victory speech, which leaned heavily into identity politics and grievance narratives. Finally, MacCallum explained how California's Prop 50 has once again flipped the redistricting debate on its head following Texas' redistricting efforts, and finally, she touched on King Charles' decision to strip Prince Andrew of his royal title.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with novelist and scholar Cinda Gault about how historical fiction can restore women's voices and model resilient mindsets. From Isabel Gunn (who disguised herself to work the Canadian fur trade) to the turbulent reforms of the 1970s, Cinda explains how story lets us “step into another consciousness,” building empathy, agency, and practical courage. We examine autonomy, meaningful work, creative risk-taking, and how today's listeners can challenge quiet social constraints without glorifying conflict. This conversation is direct, reflective, and designed for searchers interested in women's history, trauma-informed healing, creative practice, and mental well-being. About the guest : Cinda Gault is a Canadian novelist and scholar whose books—This Godforsaken Place, A Small Compass, and Everything I Hope For—center women who defy expectations and choose meaningful lives. Her background spans domestic-violence advocacy, corrections, and a PhD focused on Canadian women's writing. Key takeaways: Story as empathy technology: Fiction lets readers inhabit another mind, shifting beliefs faster than argument and supporting emotional healing and mental flexibility. Agency over approval: Gault's protagonists define meaning for themselves, accept mistakes, and iterate—useful for reducing shame spirals and building resilient habits. Historical context, modern tools: Legal and cultural shifts (education access, financial autonomy, reproductive rights in Canada) expanded options; listeners can pair this progress with personal boundaries and values. Defying quiet constraints: Even without explicit barriers, conventions around caregiving, career, and creativity can box people in; naming them creates space for choice. Courage as a daily practice: Small risks (new skills, new roles) build identity strength—adventure is often a mindset before it's a voyage. Research to reclamation: Unearthing figures like Isabel Gunn or referencing Annie Oakley reframes women not as exceptions but as agents within their eras. Craft note for creators: Real tension (not constant harmony) drives story; in life, anticipate challenges and choose responses aligned with your values. Practical reflection: Ask, “What one step would make my life more meaningful this week?” Then act, review, and adjust.

They discuss how she overcame imposter syndrome to write her first book, how an autoimmune diagnosis changed the way she leads, and what it really means to move with intention. Hannah opens up about the pressure to be “on” all the time, how she stays grounded in community, and why her biggest creative leaps often come with a quiet voice of doubt—and the courage to keep going anyway.

Why do only 9% of people and companies grow stronger during crises? According to Harvard Business School professor and author Ranjay Gulati, the answer isn't intelligence—it's courage. In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack what it means to act in the face of fear, not in the absence of it. Drawing from decades of research and Ranjay's new book The Soul of Courage, the conversation explores why we're hardwired to freeze under uncertainty, how the most courageous people “resource” themselves to act, and what separates bold leadership from reckless risk-taking. From stories of NASA pilots and nuclear engineers to everyday professionals stepping up under pressure, this episode is a masterclass in practical courage—how to develop it, share it, and lead with it when everything's on the line.
