Sometimes the most meaningful parts of our creative journey are the detours — the moments when we think we've failed or lost our way, only to realize we've discovered something new. Like a labyrinth, life guides us toward the next best thing, often better than we could have imagined. In this episode, host Ekaterina (Kat) Popova sits down with Nishant Jain, also known as The Sneaky Artist, to talk about curiosity, permission, and finding beauty in the everyday. Nishant shares how writer's block led him to a thriving art practice, how he built a loyal global community through Substack, and why keeping secrets and creating privately can reignite your passion. If you've ever questioned your creative direction or struggled to share your art meaningfully in the digital age, this conversation will remind you that detours are destiny — and that creativity doesn't have to be loud to be powerful.

We all have plans for how we think our life will go — the timeline, the milestones, the picture we've created in our heads. But then life happens, and things turn out completely different. The plan falls apart, the dream changes, and we start to question God. Why did this happen? Did I hear You wrong? Will I ever make it out of this?In this episode, we are learning how to navigate life's detours and find trust in God's plan.  Because even when things don't go how we thought they would, God is still working, and the unexpected chapters often become the best parts of our testimony. If you've ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn't what I pictured,” this one's for you.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod  @mariahclayton_  Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating! 

CTL Script/ Top Stories of October 24th Publish Date: October 24th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, October 24th and Happy Birthday to Kevin Kline I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cherokee County approves contract to build two fire stations Jordan Road to be closed Nov. 7-10 for railroad crossing work Ball Ground investigating complaint about email from council member Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooths We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 1: Cherokee County approves contract to build two fire stations Cherokee County’s getting two brand-new fire stations, and it’s about time. On Oct. 21, the Board of Commissioners gave the green light to a $17 million deal with Spratlin Construction to replace Fire Station 5 on East Cherokee Drive and Fire Station 29 on Cumming Highway. The current setups? Let’s just say they’re overdue for an upgrade. Station 5, built for volunteers back in the day, now crams six full-time firefighters into a shared bunk room. Over at Station 29, firefighters are working out of a temporary manufactured home. The new stations will have proper bunks, fitness areas, and space for equipment—finally. Construction kicks off summer 2026. STORY 2: Jordan Road to be closed Nov. 7-10 for railroad crossing work Heads up, drivers: Jordan Road will be closed at the railroad crossing near Highway 372 from Nov. 7-10, according to Cherokee County officials. The closure is just south of Nelson, so plan ahead. Detours? Yep, they’ve got you covered. Northbound traffic on Jordan Road should take Old Nelson Road, then Old Canton Road, Commerce Lane, and finally reconnect with Highway 372. Southbound? Stick to Highway 372, turn onto Commerce Lane, then Old Canton Road, and loop back via Old Nelson Road. It’s a bit of a maze, but temporary. Questions? Call Cherokee County Public Works at 770-345-5842. STORY 3: Ball Ground investigating complaint about email from council member The city of Ball Ground is looking into a complaint about an email sent by Councilmember Annette Homiller to a city employee—an email that’s stirred up quite a bit of controversy. On Sept. 24, Homiller, whose husband Dan is running for mayor against fellow Councilmember Dennis Nelson, emailed the employee from her personal account. In it, she asked who he was supporting in the mayoral race and brought up a past real estate deal, even suggesting there might be financial motives behind his support for Nelson. “I can’t think of any other reason why you would support Dennis over Dan,” she wrote, adding a postscript: “Dan does not know that I sent this.” The employee has since filed a “hostile work environment” complaint, and the city is investigating. Homiller admitted to sending the email, calling it a “poorly written” mistake based on misinformation. “It was a bad idea from the start, and I deeply regret it,” she said, adding that she’s apologized to the mayor, her colleagues, and others involved. Her husband, Dan, defended her, saying, “She made a mistake—who hasn’t hit send on an email they wish they could take back?” Meanwhile, Nelson’s campaign confirmed the complaint in an Oct. 9 Facebook post, calling for a full investigation to protect city employees from political pressure.

Break: COBB FALL FESTIVAL STORY 4: Woodstock council considers regulations for e-bikes  Woodstock might soon pump the brakes on e-bikes—or at least figure out where and how they can be ridden. At an Oct. 20 work session, Community Development Director Melissa Sigmund asked the City Council and Mayor Michael Caldwell to weigh in on regulating e-bikes, which combine pedaling with battery-powered motors. Complaints? Oh, there’ve been plenty. Here is what Mayor Michael Caldwell had to say about the e-bikes. MAYOR VO Sigmund explained the three e-bike tiers: Tiers 1 and 2 max out at 20 mph and are treated like regular bikes. Tier 3? They can hit 28 mph without pedaling, and that’s where things get tricky. Councilman David Potts said he’s seen modified e-bikes going even faster. Here is what Councilman David Potts had to say on this issue. COUNCILMAN VO Sigmund floated ideas: allowing kids under 12 to ride on sidewalks, banning Tier 3 e-bikes from trails, and requiring all bikes to yield to pedestrians. Education and signage would be key, she added. No decisions yet, but the council plans to revisit the issue soon. STORY 5: Cherokee County Football Power Rankings - Week 11  The Cherokee County football power rankings are in, and as Week 11 kicks off, there’s plenty to unpack. Sequoyah (7-1, 4-1)The Chiefs are rolling. Two straight wins since their only loss (to River Ridge), and now they face a winless Pope team. Let’s be real—another W feels inevitable. But the real showdown? The finale against Creekview, with the region title likely on the line. River Ridge (6-2, 3-2)The Knights have a huge test this week against Creekview. A win could shake up the playoff race, but QB Hunter Lockerman’s health is a question mark. Can Camden Cox carry the load? Creekview (4-4, 4-1)Don’t let the record fool you—this team’s dangerous. Backup QB Landon Barnes was flawless in their blowout of Pope. But with River Ridge and Sequoyah up next, the Grizzlies have a brutal road ahead. Woodstock (5-3, 3-2)The Wolverines are clinging to playoff hopes. A win at Riverwood this week is crucial before their finale against Sprayberry. Coach Dan Devine knows what’s at stake: “It’s all on the line.” Cherokee (1-8, 0-5)The Warriors showed fight against North Cobb, led by Brandon Hamilton’s 138 yards and two TDs. They’ll look to close out their season—and say goodbye to Tommy Baker Field—with a win over Marietta. Etowah (3-6, 1-4)It’s been a tough stretch for the Eagles, but they’ve already surpassed last year’s win total. A victory at North Cobb in their finale would be a solid step forward under new coach Brett Vavra.

When Roz Osborne signed up for the Silk Road Mountain Race, her motivation was simple: to prove her son wrong.Living in Cornwall with her husband and 12-year-old son, Roz had spent years pouring her energy into family and work. But when she left her job and saw applications open for the race, something inside her clicked. She wanted to do something entirely for herself — not as a mum, or a wife, or an employee, but as Roz.In this episode of Detours, Roz shares her journey from that moment of saying yes out loud, to standing on the start line in Kyrgyzstan, to crossing the finish line two weeks later. She talks about the guilt and joy of chasing a goal that's purely your own, the challenge of preparing for an ultra as a parent, and the freedom that comes from carving out space for yourself.Before our conversation, you'll also hear the voice note Roz recorded before the race as part of our Women of SRMR Detours Episode — a message to her future self that still rings true today.Follow Roz on Instagram: @rozosborne Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

SUMMARY: -Lori Ann shares her journey of faith through ongoing uncertainty, particularly after her heart disease diagnosis. -Despite being physically healthy, she later discovered her heart condition that she had no point of reference or expectation of this type of diagnosis. -Lori Ann emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith during difficult times, discussing how grief and gratitude can coexist. -She encourages embracing the practice of lament as a way to deepen one's relationship with God. -Through her experiences, she highlights the significance of community support, the need for open conversations about pain, and the importance of relinquishing control to God. -Her book, "Divine Detour" is structured around three key questions inspired by Jesus' temptations in the desert, addressing doubts about life, God's goodness, and control over circumstances. Three questions that can be applied to every type of pain and suffering. -In closing Lori Ann encourages others to hold on to their faith, recognizing that God desires an ongoing conversation with them, regardless of their circumstances.   PODCAST INTRO: My guest Lori Ann Wood has discovered so much beauty in the midst of a life detour that could only promise uncertainty and yet it became a divine detour. Hard fought beauty, as she sifted through layers of questions and gave God her deep heartache. What she's discovered and shares here today, is going to be gold for your heart. Lori Ann shares the journey she entered into when her life hit a major detour, based on an unexpected diagnosis of heart failure. Married to her high school sweetheart and mother to three adult children, Lori's life was bustling with activity and health consciousness. However, a shocking diagnosis challenged her understanding of control, faith, and God's presence in suffering. Lori Ann candidly discusses the initial disbelief of her diagnosis and the silence from God that she experienced, comparing her questions and search for understanding and the struggle with answered prayer to a spiritual wrestling match. Despite her pristine health metrics, she overlooked minor symptoms, not knowing those symptoms were pointing to her life changing detour. Throughout the conversation, Lori Ann delves into the duality of grief and gratitude, acknowledging the coexistence of pain and thankfulness. She emphasizes the significance of lament in her faith journey, a practice she initially hesitated to embrace but found crucial for expressing her deepest fears and doubts to God. I especially loved when our conversation turned to her book, Divine Detour where she explores three pivotal questions inspired by Jesus's temptations in the desert: Is this life all there is? Is God always good? Is God's plan enough? These questions reflect her struggle with worry, doubt, and control, ultimately leading her to a deeper relationship with God. You're going to be extravagantly blessed as you listen to this conversation and all that Lori Ann has to share. In every one of her answers she delivers beautiful insight with regard to God's heart for those who are suffering. If you are in a season of loss and uncertainty and you wonder where God is, does He care about what is happening in your life….then make time to engage with every bit of Lori Ann's insight. The title of her book says it perfectly, Divine Detour because when the unexpected throws a block into the road that were happily headed down, I know that is the exact spot where the enemy wanted to destroy us (with a diagnosis, with that loss, with no end in sight, with grief)…but God….He enters with His love, grace and mercy, and turns our detour into something far more beautiful than what this life has to offer. If at all possible, get your pen and paper ready because you're gonna want to capture and reread these distinctions and revelations that Lori Ann has to share.

Life rarely goes how we plan, but we can find deep meaning, peace, and joy, despite the detours and trials.

Send us a textStart with a confession: we didn't tell you to sprint toward Alien Resurrection, and after revisiting it, you'll hear exactly why. We break down the wild swings—Ripley's controversial cloning, a xenomorph queen that “evolves” into something eerily mammalian, and a human‑xeno hybrid that's equal parts tragic and nightmare fuel—then tease out the few moments where the film genuinely stuns. Think the lab escape where the xenos outthink their cage, the submerged chase that weaponizes open water, and a practical creature that feels horrifyingly real on screen.We also track the series' artificial‑person lineage from Ash to Bishop to Winona Ryder's Auton, and what shifting the ship's AI from “Mother” to “Father” hints at about the saga's recurring themes of parenthood, control, and faith. There's Firefly energy in the crew dynamics, flashes of Matrix‑style cool in the interfaces and camera moves, and… big question marks in the science that asks you to accept genetic memory on vibes alone. And that ending over Earth? We talk about its jarring tone, why earlier films counted human costs with more care, and how this entry drifts from the grounded corporate menace of Weyland‑Yutani that made Alien feel so brutally plausible.Detours, of course: Demon Slayer's packed screenings, cosplay plans, and a spirited AVP sidebar on asymmetric combat done right. If you're charting the Alien franchise, this conversation gives you a map—what to salvage, what to skip, and why Prometheus was a necessary reset. Hit play, then tell us: defend Resurrection or bury it?

Show NotesSummaryIf you've said yes to Father's dream but now you're worn down by resistance, slow progress, or doubts that whisper “Did I miss God?”, this series is for you. In this first episode of The Dreamer's Journey, I'm going to help you reframe “stuck” as a fresh starting line—so instead of quitting, you'll find the courage to carry your dream forward with confidence.TakeawaysGod plants the dream; you didn't make it up.Confirmation markers: aligns with Scripture, serves others, requires faith, bears good fruit.Resistance often comes early and refines courage.Your brain treats envisioned futures as possible—use holy imagination with wisdom.Negativity bias makes pushback feel louder than progress—guard your focus.Dreams give direction, not step-by-step instructions.Detours develop the woman who can carry the dream.New starting lines aren't failure; they're formation.Write the dream to refresh clarity and courage.Small, obedient steps move you out of stall.Quotes“The dream isn't the finish line—it's the starting line of your becoming.”“Resistance doesn't cancel your dream; it conditions you to carry it.”“The dream is a direction, not a destination.”“Every ‘stuck' is a fresh starting line.”Courageous ActionWrite the dream Father planted in you. Put it fresh on paper so you can see it again.Then, write the resistance you're facing right now—things like doubt, fear, procrastination, pushback from others, slow sales, or even that whisper of imposter syndrome.Finally, ask: How could this resistance be shaping me into the woman who can carry the dream further? Then take one small step this week in line with that insight.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Series Intro02:05 When your dream doesn't match reality06:40 Joseph's dream: planted, not pretended12:30 Resistance refines18:45 Direction, not destination24:30 Courageous Action & Prayer27:30 Next episode teaserWho Am I?Hey friend, I'm Heather—your Courageous Coach.

What if following God's call meant an unexpected detour? Pastors Josh and Jenaye are joined by Kayla, who shares how God redirected her lifelong dream of overseas missions back to ministry in Bismarck. Her story reveals how surrendering control opened unexpected doors of ministry and offers encouragement and hope for anyone navigating a divine detour.

Recently, I had the surreal experience of watching my friend Carson Wentz run out of the tunnel as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings — the very team he grew up cheering for as a kid in North Dakota.

What if God is still at work, just in a different way than you imagined?Here are four practical handles when your plans don't line up:Name the grief, don't just bury itLook for God's faithfulness in the detoursHold your plans with open handsTake the next faithful stepPlans change.

But of course, if you dig a little deeper, there's so much more to it.In just a few years, Julie has gone from triathlon to the front of races like Badlands, Traka Adventure, and most recently winning the women's race at the Alps Divide. But she doesn't measure success or meaning from her ranking. In this episode, she shares how she feels like a "spectator" when she's found herself at the front of races, what she's learned about balancing ambition with self-care and while listening to yourself and centering the experience around joy may be the most important skill in bike pack racing.Get your Detours stickers and support the showFollow Julie on Instagram: @julieta.bicicleta Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Do you ever catch yourself with a little “business envy”? Maybe you're staring at the decals on a delivery truck in traffic, or binge-watching the latest YouTuber who swears they cracked the code to millions overnight. It's tempting to think, “I could do that”—and truthfully, you probably could. But the better question is: Should you?This week on the Divas, Diamonds & Dollars Podcast, we're talking about the powerful difference between chasing shiny objects and staying grounded in your strategy. Because just because you can do something doesn't mean it's aligned with your goals, your energy, or the multipreneurship life you're intentionally building.We've spent the year helping you set goals and build plans, and we know the road isn't always smooth. Life throws Distractions, Detours, and Delays at us daily:Distractions disguise themselves as busy work, leaving you frazzled but not closer to your dreams.Detours remind us that sometimes the scenic route still leads to progress—if it aligns with your bigger vision.Delays can feel like setbacks, but often they're just commas in your story, not periods.The key is to notice what's pulling your focus and learn how to respond with grace and intention.✨ Motivation & Moxie: A clear plan fuels motivation—but moxie is the sass and backbone that keeps you moving even when “ugh” happens. Keep your one-page plan (your personal Cliff Notes!) close at hand. Review it when you feel the slump, and let it reignite your excitement. And remember your “why.” Whether it's financial independence, more freedom, or creating a legacy, your raison d'être pulls you back when doubt starts to creep in.✨ Stay Grounded in Strategy : When the flashing lights of comparison or quick wins distract you, lean into your fundamentals. Stick with best practices. Modify your plan only if it serves your goals, not because of outside noise. Staying strategic doesn't mean being rigid—it means being flexible with purpose.✨ Grace & Growth: Here's the truth: you're not failing when you get sidetracked. You're human. The magic is in noticing when you've drifted, giving yourself grace, and then getting back on track. A pattern break can even give you fresh perspective—as long as you don't stray too far or too long.Your Challenge for the Week: Put your plan in writing. It doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to move you forward. Then, identify your distraction triggers and create a plan for how you'll respond the next time they pop up. With awareness, strategy, and a little moxie, you can stay focused and finish the year strong.Divalicious Pro Tip: Shiny objects will always sparkle, but your future will shine brighter when you stay the course.Multipreneurship | Women Over 40 | Goal Setting | Business Strategy | Overcoming Distractions | Personal Development | Midlife Momentum | Entrepreneurial Mindset | Career Growth | Financial Independence | Women Entrepreneurs | Focus & Productivity | Motivation & Moxie | Staying Grounded | Finish the Year StrongWant to join the Multipreneurship Movement?

With honesty and vulnerability, Claudia and Richard reflect on seasons of transition in their own lives, including how they've supported each other through change, challenged each other to grow, and ultimately found clarity through the process.  “Start where you are” isn't just good advice—it's the secret to momentum, meaning, and impact. Key Topics Covered: What defines a dream—and how to know if it's yours How detours shape our story and deepen our Shine The power of support and shared vision in marriage The difference between goals and gifts (and why you need both) Why the most powerful transformations often begin in the messy middle Encouragement to take one small, meaningful action today Tune in for this thoughtful, behind-the-scenes glimpse into what it looks like to shine—together.

The art of detours talks about finding new adventures by walking in new places. A new trail or neighborhood sparks curiosity and inspires the senses. The awareness keeps you present and awaken your sense of discovery.

Chris Burkard is no stranger to grand adventures. He's built his career chasing light at the edges of the world, photographing athletes in their element, from the ocean to glaciers, sides of mountains, and continues to test himself on countless expeditions — including a sixteen-day finish at the Tour Divide.But the Silk Road Mountain Race remained an elusive someday ride, shadowed by imposter syndrome, questioning if he really belonged on the startline. This year he took the leap, training with new focus and deep respect for the mountains.Chock full of life lessons, Chris reflects on his time in Kyrgyzstan, the lessons he carried from his time on the Tour Divide, and how he's learned that fear and readiness can coexist. He shares stories of crushing loneliness — the realization of how far from home and familiarity he really was — and moments of elation, from the tears of relief when the headwind finally broke to the overwhelming joy of reaching the summit of the final pass. Most of all, he reflects on the power of vulnerability, the importance of taking joy seriously, and the truth that so much of what these experiences give us, more often than not, has nothing to do with the bike.Follow Chris on Instagram: @chrisburkard Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingUse code DETOURS15 to get 15% off your next order from AlbionIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

Sep. 13 & 14, 2025 - Detours Are Not RoadblocksPastor Bob ClaycampExodus 13:17-22 | Study #20250914GUEST

Honor God and Deliver His Benefits

Today's episode is about something that almost all of us experience but few of us truly understand while we're in it: detours.If you've ever found yourself thinking, “This is not where I thought I'd be right now,” or “Why is it taking so long for things to work out?” this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna Lilly sits down with Kade Matthews—a devoted father, psychotherapist, and lifelong advocate for creating healing spaces. Kade opens up about his own non-linear path, weaving together stories of parenthood, professional growth, and the ways music, poetry, and time in nature have been therapeutic anchors in his life. As both a clinician and a parent of young adults, Kade offers a rare dual perspective: candidly acknowledging his own stumbles while emphasizing the importance of compassion, connection, and finding joy in the journey. From mountain biking and canyoneering to supporting families through transition programs, Kade's story is one of resilience, authenticity, and living in alignment with values. Listeners will walk away inspired by Kade's reminder that success isn't about perfection—it's about presence, vulnerability, and the courage to keep showing up for yourself and those you love.Kade's Resources:At The Crossroads Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful  #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #TraumaRecovery #TherapyJourney #Healing #PersonalGrowth #TherapyWorks #FreshStart #TransitionalLivingProgram #ATCBeTheChange

On this 294th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I share a lesson that came from the longest solo road trip of my life — 29 hours from Chicago to Boston and back while dropping off Lizzy Miller at Boston College. Somewhere on the highway, I realized something important: a long road trip has the same ingredients as pursuing your three-year vision. Think about it. You don't just jump in the car and hope for the best. You begin with the end in mind, you prepare your vehicle, you plot your route, and you measure your progress through checkpoints and mile markers. The same is true in business. Your three-year vision is your “Boston.” Without clarity, systems, and consistency, the trip becomes guesswork. With them, you know exactly where you're going and how you'll get there. In this episode, I'll show you: ✅ Why your three-year vision is like setting your GPS destination ✅ How to equip yourself with the right tools (CRM, daily rituals, coaching) ✅ Why breaking your vision into 12 quarterly checkpoints keeps you on track ✅ How weekly reviews and audits serve as your mile markers ✅ The importance of refueling with rest, reflection, and inspiration ✅ How to adjust when detours appear without losing sight of your destination ✅ Why celebrating milestones builds confidence and momentum Here's the truth: progress isn't about one big leap. It's about consistent, intentional stages. Just like hitting Buffalo or Albany on the way to Boston confirmed I was still on course, your weekly reviews and quarterly audits are the markers that keep you aligned with your ultimate destination. Detours and fatigue will test you, but if your systems are strong and your vision is clear, you'll arrive exactly where you set out to be.

This week, the cosmos is serving us twists, turns, and a few unexpected plot twists, my babes.

“How do I trust God’s heart when His ways and delays are breaking mine?” That’s the question on the table for this week’s episode. It’s probably not a question you’ve asked aloud, but anyone who’s ever been heartbroken, hurt, overwhelmed, or confused by life’s circumstances has pondered the question in her heart. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Hall—mom of four, Bible teacher, podcaster, and author—whose story of resilience will inspire you. Kelly and her husband, an Air Force fighter pilot, have walked through extraordinary challenges as they raised their four children, three whom are deaf. Kelly is full of real life wisdom about how to hold onto hope when you can barely hold on. Through disappointments, devastation, delays, and seasons of isolation, Kelly has learned how to anchor her heart in God’s promises. She shares practical ways to shift your focus from circumstances to Christ, along with her acronym for HOPE: holding tight to God’s Word, opening your eyes to His work, and embracing His possibilities. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning and needed someone to throw you a life preserver—this episode is it!
