Craig Siegel, once engrossed in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, found himself surrounded by financial gains but devoid of genuine fulfillment. When faced with his father's cancer diagnosis and the strains of a toxic relationship, Craig was driven to reconsider what truly mattered in life. The pandemic became an unexpected ally, giving him the time and introspection needed to embrace personal development, leading to the birth of the CLS brand, a venture grounded in the conviction that aligning one's career with their authentic self can unlock abundance and purpose.As the discussion unfolds, we confront the startling reality that only 20% of Americans find purpose in their work. By creating intentional "white space" for reflection and introspection, we can redefine wealth not just through financial means but through awakening and actualizing our true potential. Craig's story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to overcome life's hurdles and align personal and professional aspirations. Join us for an inspiring exchange that encourages a mindset shift towards resilience, purpose, and genuine wealth.

The Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo has attracted global fame for his bold and sensual portraits. He paints bodies and faces using his fingertips instead of a brush, capturing form through direct, tactile gestures. When he went to art school in Vienna, he was struck by the extent to which Black subjects had been overlooked in global art. Determined to change the status quo, he drew inspiration from early 20th Century Viennese artists like Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele and added his own techniques to invent a fresh new style of portraiture. Lucy Ash follows his preparations for a major new show at Gagosian in London. It involves a transformation of the gallery space into a full-scale recreation of a Ghanaian courtyard – just like the shared space in which he was raised. With the help of his collaborator, Glenn De Roché, an architect famous for community buildings and with an artist friend who produced a set of playing cards, especially for the event. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.

Creating Space for Everybody - 8th of June 2025 by KSBC

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there's a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.Whether you're a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace. In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

How can we break barriers for women in God's service? In this episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with husband-and-wife co-authors Amy and Rob Dixon to explore the important topic of breaking gender barriers in church leadership and service. Drawing from their experiences, latest picture book Penny Preaches, and years of ministry, Amy and Rob share compelling stories and practical insights about empowering both women and men to use their God-given gifts fully within the church. Together, they discuss the power of seeing role models, the impact of tradition and history on church culture, and how to have healthy, grace-filled conversations around challenging topics. Whether you're a church leader, parent, or someone wanting to better understand the value of egalitarianism in faith, this episode will encourage you to rethink how we can all flourish by embracing the diverse callings God places on each of our lives. Key Takeaways from the Conversation: The Power of Models: Amy and Rob remind us how critical it is for children—especially girls—to see women in leadership roles within their faith communities. “It's hard to be what you can't see,” Rob shares, highlighting how exposure and representation fuel confidence and ambition. Gifts Without Gender Limits: The church thrives when everyone is able to use their God-given gifts freely, regardless of gender. Amy notes, “God has gifted us each individually with good gifts, and they're not sectioned off by gender.” Imagine the impact if the whole team was on the field, not just half! Moving Beyond Fear: The resistance to women in leadership often stems from fear—fear of change, of lost power, or simply the unknown. Rob reflects on how churches can move forward together and men can serve as allies, supporting rather than fearing women stepping into their callings. Healing from Past Wounds: Amy's openness about her own wounds from the church is a powerful reminder that you're not alone—and that healing comes, in part, from supportive communities and looking at the “fruits” of service. Creating Space for Dialogue: These conversations aren't always easy, but the key is humility and honest, scripture-centered discussion. The church has a unique opportunity to model healthy disagreement and mutual respect to the wider world. For Parents and Leaders:Penny Preaches isn't just for girls—it's for every child (and parent) eager to see what happens when everyone is empowered to serve God. Boys, too, benefit from seeing strong, Spirit-led women in their midst. Ready to Get Involved? Grab a copy of Penny Preaches at IVPress.com, AmyDixonBooks.com, or wherever books are sold. Stay connected with our guests: Amy Dixon: amydixonbooks.com Rob Dixon: doctorrobdixon.com Final Thought Let's keep the conversation going—with courage and humility—as we build faith communities where every person's gifts can truly flourish. Whether you're stepping into leadership or cheering others on, remember: the church is at its best when all its members are included. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation. As always, we appreciate your support! Please subscribe and share this episode.

What would your summer look like if peace, ease, and cash flow could just exist together? This summer, I'm breaking up with the idea that success requires intensity and redefining what's truly productive! I used to believe that the more I worked, the more successful I would be. But I know that I want to work less. Those things are in direct competition with each other! What if you didn't need to work harder for the next level? What if less effort actually created more results, space, creativity, and more cash flow? I have spent so many summers working in my office and feeling jealous of the people who were outside. I always felt obligated to be ‘in the trenches' because I convinced myself that more work equals more success. And that is so wrong! This summer, I am rewriting those rules and testing what happens when I work less, focus more, and trust that space might be the missing piece between where I am and where I want to be.   Join The Co-op – The Membership for Online Businesses Connect with Abagail Instagram All the Links!

Podcast Notes Episode 465 Creating Space for Awareness Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: May 15, 2025 In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries podcast, Brian Miller and Chad Hall dive deep into the core coaching competency of evoking awareness. They explore how the International Coaching Federation reframed this concept to shift the focus away from simply asking questions and toward generating new insight and understanding for clients. The conversation includes practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real-world examples to help coaches foster meaningful breakthroughs. Key Highlights The Evolution of a Core Competency: The ICF shifted from emphasizing “powerful questioning” to “evoking awareness,” highlighting that questions are just one of many tools to spark insight. The Role of Deep Listening: Evoking awareness begins with truly listening — not just to words, but to tone, patterns, and what's left unsaid — with a deep sense of curiosity. Avoiding Entrenchment: Coaches should be careful not to challenge clients in ways that provoke defensiveness; gentle observations or reframing can lead to more open exploration. Multiple Paths to Awareness: Beyond questions, awareness can be evoked through metaphors, observations, reframing, or offering models and distinctions (like the “3 Ps” for leadership issues). Shifting the Coaching Mindset: Tools like the hourglass model are not instructions for the coach but frameworks to understand and support the client's thought journey. Takeaways Awareness is the goal, not the question itself — be flexible in your approach. Curiosity is foundational: great coaches listen beyond the surface. Evoking awareness means meeting the client where they are, even if that's uncertainty or resistance. Effective coaching requires patience — allow clients the space to discover rather than forcing insights.   Evoking Awareness eCourse Available for $79 at http://coachapproachministries.org/awareness    Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Throughout the history of the church, there has been a tendency to fall into different ditches of emphasis. During the medieval times, singleness was celebrated, and religious movements were dedicated to convents and monasteries. But those days are far in the past of the church. Our current services and church social events are set up to cater to married couples and parents. So much so that I've heard from several single friends that they don't feel like there is space made for them in the church!What has made the church a notoriously difficult place to be single? Have we made marriage a cultural idol?What are some proactive things you've learned to do to make space for yourself in a body of faith? What is dating like for Christian singles in 2025?How do people hold on to the fun and hope in dating?What inspired you to start “Single Purpose League?”What would you like to say to encourage other Single Christians today?What would you encourage married people to do or change in order to be more inviting?You can find "Single Purpose League" here and ⁠⁠⁠Annie F Downs on Instagram You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.

In this episode, we sit down with Moria Rooney, the heart behind Mother of Wilde. Moria shares the deeply personal story of losing her son, Noah, who was stillborn at 35 weeks—and how God met her in that place of heartbreak with a calling to create beauty from ashes.What began as simple remembrance prints for grieving moms has grown into a powerful ministry that holds space for women walking through loss and gently points them to the hope of Jesus. Moria's story is tender, raw, and full of God's redemptive love.She also shares about Holy Ground, a new retreat she's launching that invites moms into a deeper place of healing, rest, and restoration. Through her ministry, Moria reminds us that while loss shapes us, it doesn't define us—and that our truest identity is found in being daughters of the King.This conversation feels sacred, and we pray it meets you with comfort, hope, and the reminder that even in the midst of grief, God is near.Episode Highlights: Meet Moria.What Holy ground is.Reclaiming what the enemy has stolen.Having a Kingdom Mindset.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Purpose Beyond Motherhood and Moria Rooney:Twelve 12 Ministries WebsiteIG Handle: @twelve12ministriesFacebook: @twelve12ministriesEmail: info@twelve12ministries.org Visit the Twelve 12 Ministries ShopVisit Mother of WildeLearn more about Holy Ground RetreatsThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

In this solo episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac gets real about the elusive idea of “balance” and why being present matters more than doing it all. Michelle opens up about the pressure of juggling motherhood, entrepreneurship, activism, and daily life — and the powerful shift that happens when we stop chasing perfection and start noticing the small wins. She shares honest moments, practical insights, and a message every woman needs to hear: you don't have to do everything to be enough. Whether you're a busy mom, business owner, or both, this episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and focus on what truly matters. What We're Talking About... I don't believe in balance. I think that's nonsense. It's important to consider our expectations for ourselves. You are doing a great job, even on tough days. We often don't give ourselves credit for our accomplishments. Being present is more important than doing it all. Scheduling time for white space is essential for creativity. It's okay to not crush it every single day. You deserve the time to put yourself first. Celebrate the small wins in your life. I believe in you and your efforts.
