Historian Ben Baumann reflects on how America's past moments of courage can illuminate a path through today's turmoil. This episode examines rising polarization, declining civic education, and the expanding influence of artificial intelligence on public trust and our sense of reality, asking what history can teach us about confronting fear, resisting simple narratives, and choosing a future grounded in clarity, responsibility, and hope.

I really enjoy seeing these posts from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) every day where he always offers some form of encouragement.  “A message for today … A reminder: growth takes time, patience & courage — especially in moments no one sees. Every small step you take now is building a future you'll be proud of. Keep going even when it's hard. One day, the future you will be so grateful you didn't give up.”  This is something that I see connecting with so many people in today's world, including myself. Little things, small steps in our everyday choices can make a huge difference - even if at the time we are taking those small steps, we may not see it.  The quote he posts that goes with his thoughts above, helped me to see that I am not alone and that I need to share this message for today. I also was reminded from a former student and player of mine that posted a very similar post about going through tough times and sharing that we are not alone along with the little steps she keeps taking in living her best life.

Joshua leads a nighttime march for a surprise attack, and God sends a storm with giant hailstones that scatter the enemy. When Joshua sees the battle will last past sunset, he prays a bold prayer. God makes the sun stand still over Gibeon and the moon pause so Israel can finish the fight. It becomes a day unlike any other because God listened to a leader who trusted Him. Kids will learn to pray first, act with courage, and remember that God keeps His promises.Talk about it:Why did the five kings attack Gibeon, and how did Joshua respond?What did God do to help Israel during the battle?Why did Joshua ask God to make the sun stand still?What is one brave prayer you can pray when you need God's help?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

In this episode, Sissy and David sit down with two beloved Enneagram Sixes: longtime Daystar founder and leader Melissa Trevathan and Daystar counselor Allye Gray. They explore how differently Sixes can look—phobic and counterphobic—and how both expressions are driven by the same core issues of fear, loyalty, and a deep desire for safety and goodness. Allye shares candidly about being a “phobic” Six: an inner world full of what-ifs and how her anxiety can be palpable in parenting. She talks about learning to trust her own instincts, tolerate discomfort, and surround herself with people who stretch her beyond worry into courage and play. Melissa reflects on decades as a “counterphobic” Six, including childhood stories of pushing through fear, starting Daystar when counseling wasn't common, and discovering that fear doesn't have to control her life or leadership. Together they offer thoughtful encouragement for parents who are Sixes—and those raising Six kids—naming how anxiety can be misunderstood, how important it is to name dread and seek truth, and how community, Scripture, and play can help Sixes move from living out of fear to parenting more from love, trust, and joy. . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

Today, we are diving deep into what it truly means to be fearless—whether you're launching a business, standing up to the local government, or just trying to live a sustainable life.

Frugality Tip I was randomly looking at Etsy and saw someone selling something I was interested in that was local to me.  I messaged them and asked about local pick up and cash price.  They were very interested in cash money with pick up and I saved some money on my purchase.  So ask, it will never kill you, and might save you a few dollars. Operation Independence 3-Month Rental at Basecamp: $800/month, Event Rental Launch Main Topic: Fearless Living – The Two Sides of "Go For It" We are talking about two forms of courage today: Professional Courage (to launch and critique) and Personal Courage (to be vulnerable and stand up). 1. The Courage to Launch and Critique: The Farm-to-Table AAR The Farm-to-Table Dinner was a huge "Go For It" moment. The real courage is in the fearless honesty of the After Action Review (AAR): Is this financially viable? $155 - 13/hour The Diagnostic Tool: The Homestead Revenue Stack We put the Dinner through our Homestead Revenue Stack to analyze where it sits and what it needs to succeed. The Dinner sits primarily in the Service Layer (Dinner/Class). AAR Findings & Action Plan Logistics Check: Reality vs. plan mismatch. Example: "Sunset on paper vs. Sunset in the holler (30 min BUBBLE)." Venue Needs: The oven/stove at BC needs an upgrade. Experience Flow: Need better arrival/mingling flow. Financial Fixes: We need to Price up, increase numbers at the dinner,  and rely on Upsells. Opportunity: There is an opportunity for a premium cherry add-on for the dinner service. Action: Get the chef on the wild edible walk (to enhance the product layer). Action: If connected to a Farm-to-Table meal delivery service, that would be amazing. 2. The Courage to Stand Up and Be Vulnerable: Local Politics Sometimes "Go For It" means stepping outside your established comfort zone for a cause greater than your business. The Event: Giving public testimony in front of county officials. The Experience: I got nervous! My voice sounded emotional instead of my usual assertive self. The Takeaway: The vulnerability made the testimony more powerful. Being involved in important local matters is one of the few ways we can truly make a difference for our communities, food freedom, and farmers. Bringing it Home: Your Challenge to Go For It Courage is action, not the absence of fear. Don't wait until you're "ready." 1. Fearlessly Audit a Project: Go For It and audit a side hustle or homestead project using a framework like the Revenue Stack. Be honest about where you need to price up, fix it, or drop it. 2. Go For the Hard Conversation: Go For It and speak up about a local issue or personal matter you know you should address. Your passion is more powerful than silence. 3. Take the First Small Step: What is the one small, specific step you can take today to move toward a big goal? Final Thought Sometimes, you just need to go for it.   Make it a great week.   Song:   GUYS!

Who are you when the world only sees one version of you? Do you have to close one chapter to begin another? What if change isn’t a loss, but an evolution? How do you carry every version of yourself into the present? In this heartfelt and revealing episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with entrepreneur, TV host, and multi-hyphenate creative Rochelle Humes for a raw conversation about identity, motherhood, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life. Rochelle opens up about her journey from pop stardom to businesswoman, sharing how she’s navigated change, protected her peace, and stayed grounded while raising three kids in the spotlight. Together, they dive into the tension between public perception and private truth, the struggle of being misunderstood, and the courage it takes to pivot when life pulls you in a new direction. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why success often shifts from financial stability to inner peace. The challenges of balancing ambition with motherhood. How to embrace new chapters without “grieving” old versions of yourself. The role of curiosity in keeping life exciting — and never feeling lost. Why self-care isn’t selfish, but essential to showing up for others. How to deal with being misunderstood — in public and in private. The lessons Rochelle carries from her working-class roots into her parenting. Why true wealth is built on love, friendship, and health. This episode is a powerful reminder that life is not about fitting into one role or version of yourself — it’s about honoring your many layers, choosing peace over perfection, and finding beauty in every chapter.

In this deeply moving and thought-provoking episode, Elisabeth speaks with Despo Pavlou, author of the powerful debut novel "My Kind of Normal."Born in South Africa to Greek Cypriot parents who immigrated there in the 1960s, Despo grew up between two worlds, steeped in tradition yet surrounded by the vibrant diversity of South African life. Her cross-cultural upbringing and her lifelong journey between Cyprus and South Africa gave her a unique perspective on identity, belonging, and the courage to be yourself.For more than 30 years, Despo ran her own businesses, but it was during a challenging period in her life that she turned to writing, a creative outlet that became both healing and liberating. My Kind of Normal tells the story of Irene, a woman born into a conservative Greek-Cypriot family, who struggles to reconcile her true identity with societal expectations. It's a story of love, denial, courage, and ultimately, self-acceptance.In this candid conversation, Elisabeth and Despo discuss:✨ The immigrant experience and what it means to grow up between cultures✨ How writing became a form of therapy and self-discovery✨ The challenges of breaking free from traditional roles and expectations✨ The taboo of homosexuality in conservative communities and why Cyprus still needs a major upgrade in terms of acceptance, empathy, and education✨ How personal courage can inspire others to live their truth without shameDespo's story is one of resilience and authenticity, a reminder that “normal” is different for everyone, and that love, in all its forms, deserves understanding and respect.As Despo beautifully puts it:“We need to stop hiding behind fear and tradition. We are all human and love should never be a taboo.”This episode is a heartfelt exploration of courage, compassion, and what it truly means to live authentically.

Are you caught up in the belief that expensive equals meaningful? As gift-giving season approaches, it's easy to fall into the trap of measuring love and worth by price tags and material possessions. But what if the most precious gifts can't be purchased at all?The Real Gifts That MatterWe live in a culture that conditions us to believe bigger, shinier, and more expensive automatically means more love, more value, more worth. Social media feeds this mindset, leaving us feeling empty and overlooked when we can't keep up financially. But there's a beautiful truth we often miss: the most meaningful gifts come from the heart, not the wallet.Everyday Angels in ActionI'll share a powerful personal story from Christmas Eve 2005 when Pennsylvania state troopers became my angels on a dark highway. Their gift of time and kindness, asking for nothing in return became a blessing I carry with me nearly two decades later. These moments remind us that every good and perfect gift is from above, often delivered through ordinary people doing extraordinary things.What You'll DiscoverHere's what you can expect from this episode on recognizing true gifts:Identify the gifts we overlook - time, presence, joy, and unconditional love that surround us daily.Understand how cultural conditioning tricks us into valuing material things over heart connections.Recognize everyday angels who show up without fanfare to offer exactly what we need.Shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance by noticing non-material blessings.Learn practical ways to acknowledge, appreciate, and pay forward these precious gifts.Transform Your Heart and HomeWhen we start recognizing these heart gifts, everything changes. Gratitude replaces emptiness. Community grows stronger. We feel less alone because we see how God places helpers along our path. Most importantly, our worth stops being tied to what we can buy or what others can buy us.What if we taught our children to value these lasting gifts too? Imagine the world we could create if we measured love by presence instead of presents.This episode will help you live gift-conscious rather than money-conscious, opening your eyes to the divine blessings that flow through human hands every single day.Watch SoloMoms!

Episode Description Your autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, and inability to manifest aren't health problems—they're symptoms of suppressed emotional energy. While the wellness industry pushes billions in supplements, clean eating protocols, and biohacking tools, we're missing what's really blocking true healing: unprocessed rage, grief, and trauma trapped in your body. Dr. G sits down with Mia Magic, an author and embodiment practitioner, to reveal the truth: every autoimmune flare, every anxiety spiral, and every block in your life is your body's way of communicating about unexpressed emotions and nervous system dysregulation. But the most shocking revelation? "Constant emotional suppression is an act of abuse that we're inflicting upon our inner children every single day." Discover the profound mind-body-spirit connection behind chronic illness and why emotional boundaries and feminine power are directly linked to something called "cellular memory"—allowing you to access ancestral strength and restore your God-given state of receiving. If you've tried every supplement stack and elimination diet without results, this episode reveals the missing piece.
