Self-doubt and pressure can feel like a loop that's impossible to break—one moment you're moving forward, the next you're questioning everything. The more you push, the heavier it feels, making even small decisions seem overwhelming. It's not always about having all the answers but learning to trust yourself enough to take the next step anyway. Growth doesn't come from waiting until you feel ready—it comes from moving forward despite the doubt.Kimberly Kesting is a mindset coach and the co-founder of Enlifted, a mindset coaching certification company. She has over 8 years of experience supporting women in their personal growth and development. Kimberly also hosts the "Get Enlifted" podcast, where she explores the differences in mindset between men and women. Today, Kimberly talks about the impact of inherited stories and societal expectations on women's mindset. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond!Quotes: “We can always observe the story, even if we can't always control it. Often, we can work with the story and move with it.” – Kimberly Kesting“We're cyclical beings. It's our superpower, the best part about being a woman. Things are going to change, and the cycle will be there, and the feelings will change with that cycle.” – Kimberly Kesting“There are so many people in my lineage that go beyond just those we know in this lifetime. The stories of all those people are part of us, in our fields, minds, stories, and hearts.” – Kimberly KestingTakeaways:Observe your thought patterns and the language you use, especially around "should" statements. Reframe them into more empowering "can" or "will" statements.Explore the connection between your menstrual cycle and your mindset. Notice how your energy, creativity, and emotions fluctuate throughout the month.Practice the 4-step method of writing down your thoughts, reading them aloud, slowing down your speech, and incorporating deep breathing to process your feelings.Reflect on the stories and beliefs you've inherited from your family and society. Consider how they may be shaping your current mindset and behaviors.Embrace the cyclical nature of your feminine energy. Give yourself grace and flexibility in your personal and professional life, rather than striving for linear progress.Conclusion:Recognizing the natural cycles of the feminine experience allows women to approach life with greater awareness and self-compassion. By paying attention to their thoughts, emotions, and the shifts that come with their menstrual cycle, they can gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This awareness helps in managing energy, mood, and productivity in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable. Rather than resisting these changes, embracing them can lead to a more balanced and intentional way of living.

What if the Tree of Life wasn't a ladder but a circle? Rethink magic, cycles, and divine flow!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore rethinking the Tree of Life as a circle instead of a ladder—a shift in perspective that mirrors the Wheel of the Year in Druidry, Wicca, and Pagan traditions. Inspired by John Michael Greer's work, they discuss how mapping the Kabbalistic Tree of Life onto the eight Sabbats creates a cyclical understanding of spiritual growth rather than a rigid, hierarchical model.They delve into how each Sephirah aligns with the seasonal festivals, offering a dynamic flow of energy, wisdom, and transformation. They also explore practical applications in magic, ritual, and daily life, emphasizing the cyclic nature of existence, reincarnation, and the fluid movement of divine energy.The conversation highlights how embracing circular, interconnected thinking can change one's approach to spirituality, personal growth, and magic—moving away from linear ascension models toward a holistic, evolving journey.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations:https://ko-fi.com/cedorsetthttps://patreon.com/cedorsett$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqOChristopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGNThe Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcastChurch of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections:BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the Ladder01:11 Hosts Introduction01:20 The Concept of the Tree of Life as a Circle02:38 Exploring the Kabbalistic Tree of Life05:40 The Cyclical Nature of Festivals13:17 The Story of Angus and the Tree of Life18:00 The Power of Cycles in Spiritual Practice27:51 Conclusion and Call to Action Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

SUMMARY  **Starting Again: Embracing Fresh Starts** In this insightful discussion, the speaker reflects on the theme of starting anew, drawing parallels with the beloved character Charlie Brown and his repeated attempts to kick a football. The narrative explores the reasons behind our tendency to repeat mistakes, despite having opportunities for fresh starts in life. ### Key Themes: - **Traditions and Change**: The speaker begins by contemplating how some traditions fade away and expresses a desire to turn back time and start again. - **Charlie Brown's Struggles**: The speaker uses Charlie Brown's iconic football scenario to illustrate the human experience of hope and disappointment. Despite numerous failures, Charlie Brown continues to believe that the next attempt will be different. - **Learning from History**: The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding our past to avoid repeating mistakes. The quote from George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it," serves as a reminder of this principle. - **Misleading Assumptions**: The speaker identifies three common misconceptions that lead to repeated mistakes:     1. **Experience Equals Improvement**: Just because we have experience does not guarantee that the next attempt will be successful.    2. **Knowledge Leads to Better Choices**: Knowing better does not always translate to better decisions, as emotions and temptations often influence our actions.    3. **Time Pressure**: The urgency to act can lead to hasty decisions, while patience is often necessary for true growth and healing. - **Cyclical Nature of Time**: The speaker highlights how God has structured time in a cyclical manner, allowing for daily, weekly, and yearly fresh starts. However, many people fail to take advantage of these opportunities. - **The Importance of Reflection**: The message encourages self-reflection and the need to apologize and learn from past actions to foster better relationships and decisions moving forward. In conclusion, the speaker invites listeners to embrace the concept of starting again, recognizing that every day offers a new opportunity for growth and change. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Personal Reflection**: Can you recall a time when you had the opportunity to start again? What motivated you to take that chance, and what was the outcome? 2. **Charlie Brown's Experience**: How do you relate to Charlie Brown's repeated attempts to kick the football? Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation where you kept trying despite past failures? 3. **Learning from Mistakes**: The speaker mentions the importance of understanding our past to avoid repeating mistakes. What strategies do you use to reflect on your past experiences and learn from them? 4. **Misleading Assumptions**: Which of the three misleading assumptions (experience equals improvement, knowledge leads to better choices, time pressure) resonates most with you? Can you share an example from your life? 5. **Cyclical Nature of Time**: How do you perceive the cyclical nature of time in your own life? Do you find it easy or challenging to embrace fresh starts on a daily, weekly, or yearly basis? 6. **Patience vs. Urgency**: In what areas of your life do you feel pressured to act quickly? How can you practice patience in those situations to make more thoughtful decisions? 7. **Impact of Relationships**: How do past relationships influence your current decisions? What steps can you take to ensure that you don't repeat the same mistakes in future relationships? 8. **Role of Apologies**: The speaker suggests that an apology might change the dynamics of a situation. How important do you think it is to apologize in order to move forward? Can you share an experience where an apology made a difference? 9. **Fresh Starts**: What are some practical ways you can create opportunities for fresh starts in your personal or professional life? 10. **Support Systems**: How can friends, family, or mentors support you in your journey of starting again? What role do they play in helping you learn from past experiences?

Key Takeaways: Private Credit Offers Flexible Loans Private credit is a way to borrow money from lenders who aren't regular banks like Chase or Wells Fargo. It often gives businesses more flexible options. Private Lenders Have Rules for Borrowers These lenders usually set certain financial rules, called covenants, for businesses. For example, they may require businesses to keep a certain balance between debt and equity (ownership money) to make sure they're financially stable. Higher Rates But Good Habits Private credit often has higher interest rates than regular bank loans, but it encourages businesses to manage their money carefully. This can help them grow in a healthy way. Importance of a Good Financial Team Having a skilled finance team and a clear strategy helps businesses keep strong relationships with their private lenders, making it easier to work together. Interest on Private Loans is Tax-Deductible Just like regular loans from a bank, the interest a business pays on private loans can often be deducted from taxes if the loan is used for business purposes.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Exploring Private Credit as a Business Financing Solution 0:50 Understanding Private Credit and Its Flexible Lending Terms 2:52 Disciplined Investors and Financial Accountability 3:14 The Cyclical Nature of Private Credit and Business Growth 5:44 Understanding Business Credit and Financial Responsibility 8:05 Discussing Baseball and Financial Advisory Insights   Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Key Takeaways: Understanding the Cyclical Nature of Commercial Property: The commercial property market can experience sharp downturns, with significant price drops when demand weakens and financing becomes harder to secure. Unlike residential markets, commercial properties can see larger fluctuations, making preparedness essential for stability. Lessons from Past Downturns: Jerry recalls past recessions, the Celtic Tiger crash, and the 2008 financial crisis, noting the value of flexibility and low debt leverage for surviving downturns. Building on examples from other investors, he shares why cash flow, conservative LTVs, and adaptable business models can be vital for resilience. Property Types & Investment Approaches to Consider: Certain sectors, like industrial properties and essential retail (think grocery and pharmacy), tend to hold up better in economic slumps. Jerry discusses how multi-let properties and flexible leases can provide more stability than single-tenant properties, which are more vulnerable during downturns. Diversifying and Choosing Resilient Property Types: Investing in multi-let properties or second-hand buildings can offer advantages over high-cost, single-use properties. Resilient sectors include warehousing for e-commerce, essential retail, and health and wellbeing spaces. The Power of Cash Flow and Client Relationships: Cash flow becomes critical during recessions, allowing investors to maintain flexibility and seize opportunities. Maintaining strong relationships with clients and prioritising essential service tenants can enhance portfolio stability during economic uncertainties. Debt Management and Financing Options: Keeping debt manageable and planning for potential revaluations can prevent costly refinancing issues during downturns. Jerry emphasises the importance of having a financial buffer and staying adaptable with financing options, such as bridge loans, to maintain liquidity. Finding Opportunities Amid Downturns: Downturns can also present unique buying opportunities, allowing prepared investors to acquire properties at reduced prices. Long-term planning and adaptability are key to not only weathering economic storms but capitalising on them.

In the latest episode of the **Capitalist Investor** podcast, Tony, Luke, and Derek delve into a series of pressing issues that are making headlines and sparking debate in both the financial and political arenas. Here are the five hot topics they covered:1. Mark Zuckerberg and Government CensorshipThe episode kicked off with a discussion about Mark Zuckerberg's recent admission to Congress that the Biden-Harris campaign pressured Facebook to censor opinions on their platform. This led to a broader conversation about the implications of such censorship and how it affects free speech. Derek questioned the timing and seriousness of this revelation, especially with Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO and staunch anti-censorship advocate, being arrested just days later. 2. Section 230 and Platform LiabilityLuke introduced the concept of Section 230, a U.S. law that protects social media companies from being held liable for user-generated content. He explained how this regulation affects both U.S. and international operations of these platforms. The hosts debated who should be responsible for content moderation and whether current laws are sufficient in today's digital landscape.3. Censorship and Free Speech in EuropeTony brought up the alarming trend in Europe where individuals are reportedly being arrested for anti-government posts and memes. This sparked anxiety about how closely the U.S. might follow suit and the implications for freedom of speech. The discussion highlighted the precarious balance between maintaining public order and preserving individual freedoms.4. The Psychological Toll of Media ConsumptionLuke shared his personal experience, noting that he never had anxiety until he started engaging with social media. This comment opened up a dialogue about the mental health impacts of being constantly bombarded with information and polarized opinions. The hosts discussed the importance of critical thinking and doing personal research to navigate the overwhelming flow of data.5. Capitalism, Socialism, and the Cyclical Nature of EconomiesThe conversation culminated in a theoretical discussion about the life cycle of capitalist systems. Luke provided a historical perspective, suggesting that capitalism often leads to a concentration of wealth, which then fosters socialistic tendencies and eventually collapses the system. They debated the role of term limits and the infusion of new ideas to prevent stagnation and corruption within political systems.The episode offered deep insights into the intersection of technology, politics, and financial theory. The hosts didn't shy away from controversial topics, providing a nuanced discussion that challenges listeners to think critically about the current state of affairs.---For those keen to dive deeper into these discussions, tune into the latest episode of the Capitalist Investor podcast. As always, the hosts encourage listeners to engage, question, and do their own research on these pivotal topics shaping our world today.

"Truth comes from love. It doesn't come from any of the stories of the ego." -Pippa

The podcast episode features a conversation between Stewart Alsop III and his father, Stewart Alsop II, and their guest, Joe Schoendorf from Accel, a prominent venture capital firm. Joe shares his insights on the transition from the early PC computing industry to the rise of the internet and eventually to the AI revolution. They discuss factors like the creation of the cloud, AI, and other technological tools that have greatly accelerated the speed of innovation. The podcast also covers the history of Silicon Valley, the evolution of venture capital, and the roles of today's young CEOs in tech startups. Stories recalling specific incidents from Silicon Valley's history and influential personalities, like Mark Zuckerberg, are also shared. Timestamps 02:04 The Start of the Interview with Joe Schoendorf 02:40 The Journey into Venture Capitalism 04:04 The Story of Joe Schoendorf and Apple 05:28 The Evolution of the Computer Industry 11:07 The Transition from Instruments to Computers: Hewlett Packard 17:17 The Rise and Fall of Tech Giants 21:23 The Emergence of AI and the Future of Tech 26:17 Recognizing Patterns in Business 27:02 The Origin of Silicon Valley 27:10 The Story of William Shockley 32:14 The Impact of the Consciousness Revolution on the Computer Industry 35:06 The Evolution of Silicon Valley and the Role of AI 40:34 The Journey to Accel and the Facebook Investment Key Insights The Evolution of Silicon Valley and Venture Capital: The episode highlighted the historical context of Silicon Valley's evolution, emphasizing the shift from hardware and instruments to software and the internet. Joe Schoendorf shared anecdotes from his career to illustrate this transition, including his experiences with companies like HP and Apple. This reflects the broader trend of technological innovation driving economic and cultural shifts, underscoring the importance of adaptability and foresight in the tech industry. The Probabilistic Nature of AI Compared to Deterministic Computing: One of the central discussions revolved around the difference between traditional computing and AI. The past 50 years of computing were deterministic, where outcomes are predictable and repeatable. In contrast, AI is probabilistic, offering a different approach to problem-solving and innovation. This distinction underscores AI's potential to enhance personal agency through technology, promising a future where technology adapts to and learns from human behavior. The Importance of Young Talent in Shaping Technology's Future: Schoendorf pointed out that the key to predicting the future of technology lies in understanding where smart, young people choose to work. Unlike 20 years ago, when the aspiration was to work for established tech giants, today's talent is more inclined towards startups, especially in AI. This shift indicates a potential for significant disruption and the emergence of new leaders in the tech industry, as was seen in the transition from mainframes to personal computers and now to AI. The Role of the Cloud in Enabling AI: The conversation highlighted the cloud's pivotal role in AI's development. By providing a centralized repository of digital information that can be efficiently retrieved and processed, the cloud has made it possible to train AI systems in ways that were previously unattainable. This has led to rapid advancements in AI technology and its applications, signaling a new era of innovation driven by data accessibility and computational power. The Cyclical Nature of Technological Disruption and Leadership: Schoendorf reflected on the historical pattern where incumbents rarely survive major platform shifts, citing examples from the transitions from mainframes to minicomputers, and then to personal computers and the internet. This pattern suggests that the current AI revolution will likely give rise to new industry leaders, emphasizing the importance of innovation and adaptability in maintaining competitive advantage.

Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman's cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He's a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He's also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. Topics Is the NFL game beginning to favor smaller RBs and is this even new? Why the NFL game vacillates between system-dominant and talent-dominant eras. The fallacy of the label "system quarterback." Is Lamar Jackson more of a system quarterback than Brock Purdy? Why that's not a knock on either player. The NIL's potential impact on NFL player development. The hypocrisy of liking the NFL and hating college football but not caring about the contradiction. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95–currently available for $19.95 via early-bird discount that runs through December 21, 2023.   Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy GM interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2023 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.
