Podcasts about different kind

Beloved,Happy Valentines Day. I have a LOVE STORY that you will SEE YOUR OWN STORY within. We all feel it.A vigilance for justice and new resurging freedom in the coming year as the Fire Horse takes the lead.The blaze ignites suppressed collective forces and pushes survival systems past their breaking points. We are entering a new era where authority shifts from systems and structures to the visceral intelligence of the spirit intelligence. So as we mark the end of survival as the organizing principle and the beginning of heart opening aliveness…….ultimately we are:Choosing Love Out LoudRight now, more than ever, we are collectively craving one thing—safety.Not just physical safety, but the kind that lets us exhale fully. The kind that allows our shoulders to drop, our hearts to soften, and our nervous systems to rest.We are living in a world that feels uncertain. The division, the pace, the pressure— all rising. And in the midst of it, many of us are quietly asking: Where can I feel safe? Where can I return to myself?For me, this question has shaped everything.My life's work has been about nurturing this very feeling—-creating spaces, -rituals, and deep connections that help others remember ….in what it feels like to truly rest inside the light within ourselves.And recently, something sacred arrived in my life, a presence I call Love—and I want to honor her arrival with the reverence she deserves.But before I introduce you to her, I want to share a bit about the journey that brought us together. I believe it holds a mirror to so many of our own paths.The Power of the PathTwo years ago, I put my name on a waitlist for a litter of puppies.At the time, I didn't realize what I was actually signing up for.It would take two full years to finally be granted first pick.Two years of waiting.Two years of wondering if it would ever happen.Looking back, I see that those two years were not a delay—they were a divine invitation.My angels and guides used that time to do deep, quiet work within me.To clear out old stories.To help me soften into the truth of who I am.I wasn't just waiting for a puppy.I was being prepared to receive Love.Choosing a Different Kind of LifeDuring that time, I was also navigating a life that doesn't follow the traditional script.No marriage.No children.Just me, my work, and the sacred space I hold for others.It's a path that has asked me to shed layers of perfectionism and comparison.To stop apologizing for what my life doesn't look like.And instead, to honor what it is: creative, spiritual, intentional.I've learned that we often shrink what we love in order to stay safe.But that shrinking is an illusion.Real safety comes from expansion.From saying, This is what I love. This is what I'm building - the Kingdom of God in a stolen world - offering us a opportunity of lifetimes.Meeting LoveAnd now, she's about here.Five more weeks.A small, grounded being with soft eyes and a quiet strength.She's not here to selfishly fill a emptiness - She's here to be.To embody what I've been learning.I've had many visions of us channeling together.To walk with me through the streets, into my salon, into the hearts of those we meet.She is Love, made visible.And she is a reminder that one regulated nervous system—just one—can shift the energy of a room.Of a day.Of a life.Anchors for the JourneyAre you working through uncertainty right now?If so, I want to offer you a few anchors that have helped me:Keep Your Vision Bright.Your imagination is sacred. It's not a distraction—it's a direction. Follow it.Serve with Boundaries.You can love people deeply without abandoning yourself.Evolve at Your Own Pace.The world will try to rush you. Don't let it. Go slow. Go deep.Stay Cheerful Inside.Not toxic positivity—but a quiet cheerfulness. A kind of spiritual defiance that says, I still believe in beauty.There Is No Finish Line.There is only today. Only the practice. Only the breath.Love as a FrequencyLove is a resonance that needs no words.It's not weakness.It's alignment.It's power.When we choose to become love—not just give it, but become it—it meets us back in ways we could never have planned.That's what's happening for all of us - now.❤️ I love you. May you find the safety to soften.May you choose Love, out loud.And may you FEEL the Love choosing you right back.❤️ Love, KassandraOOOH! PS: On Christmas Eve, I surprised my parents by putting money down for their own little puppy to enter their lives. To my delight, they said yes! This week, they welcomed little Albert. I'm SO in love with my parents, and now I have another love in my life as we welcome this new addition to their home, filling it with even more joy. He's just so adorable.PPS: If you have a dog or also in the pursuit…….please hit reply, as I am creating a epic journey to support the sacred naming process.Yup. I've already started a SACRED DOG naming journey (or meaning to a current dog's name). Here's a sneak peek of how it curates the energy and spiritual connection with “LOVE.” Origin & EtymologyDerived from Old English lufu, and rooted in the Proto-Germanic lubō, “Love” is a word that has transcended language to become a universal vibration. It is not bound by culture, creed, or species—it is the essence that binds all.Core MeaningUnconditional affection, divine union, and the highest vibrational field available to sentient beings. Love is the frequency that dissolves fear, heals wounds, and magnetizes abundance.How “Love” Filters the Energy of the Heart and HomeThe name “Love” acts as a harmonic tuning fork. Each time it is spoken, it initiates a subtle recalibration of the home's energetic field—transmuting conflict, anchoring presence, and inviting softness. Your dog becomes a walking reminder of your soul's true north.This name is especially potent in spaces where healing, forgiveness, or heart-centered leadership are needed. It is not passive—it is powerful.The Seed Sound: Why “Love” ResonatesPhonetically, “Love” is a single-syllable seed sound. The soft “L” opens the heart chakra gently, while the “V” vibrates through the throat and solar plexus, encouraging expression and emotional courage.Spoken slowly—“Luhv”—it becomes both a mantra and a medicine.The Name Decree (The Scroll)✦ ✦ ✦By the power of presence, and in honor of the sacred bond between human and guardian soul,I hereby decree the name of this Spiritual Ambassador to be:✦ LOVE ✦May this name be spoken with reverence,May its frequency ripple through every corner of our home,And may its essence awaken truth, tenderness, and transformation.This name is not given lightly—it is offered as a gift, a vibration, a vow.So it is spoken. So it shall be.✦ ✦ ✦The Light Between is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

In this episode of our series on Sinclair Ferguson's "Devoted to God," we examine one of the most crucial passages in the New Testament: Romans 6. Ferguson guides us through Paul's explosive answer to a dangerous question: if grace covers all sin, why not keep sinning?Discover the three dimensions of our union with Christ—eternal, covenantal, and existential—and what it means that we were crucified, buried, and raised with him. Learn how baptism isn't merely a sign of our faith, but God's declaration of what he has done: delivering us from death to life.We explore what it means to have died to sin's reign, to live under grace rather than law, and to embrace the daily rhythm of the baptized life through four powerful commands from Romans 6.Tags: Romans 6, Union with Christ, Baptism, Sinclair Ferguson, Sanctification, Gospel Identity, Reformed Theology, Christian Living, Paul's Epistles, Belgrade URC

Lawyers have always relied on tools—but AI is different. It doesn't just assist with tasks; it makes decisions, applies judgment, and shapes outcomes. In episode #602 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Damien Riehl about what ethical responsibility looks like when AI starts doing legal work on its own.  Their conversation examines how AI systems embed values, why verification matters more than transparency, and how lawyers can responsibly use tools they don't fully understand. They also explore what legal expertise looks like in an AI-powered future—and why intuition, trust, and integrity may matter more than ever as machines take over the “widgets” of legal work.  Listen to our other episodes on Ethics and Responsibility in AI.  EP. 582 Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  EP. 543 What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN    Have thoughts about today's episode?

You may think of the stereotypical “Lady” and cringe a little…. Or perhaps think highly of a Lady yet feel you are not of that stature or elegance. What if you are a different kind of Lady?

As Valentine's Day approaches, this episode offers a reminder that love doesn't only live in romance — it also lives in friendship, shared purpose, and meaningful connection. In this conversation, Yvonne sits down with Gail Zelitsky and Catherine Marienau, co-hosts of the podcast, Women Over 70: Aging Reimagined, to talk about how a friendship formed later in life grew into a powerful creative partnership. Gail and Catherine share their individual paths — from unexpected reinvention and advocacy work to mentoring women returning to school later in life — and how their shared values eventually led them to build a platform amplifying the voices of women in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Together, they explore what it means to form deep friendships later in life, why collaboration looks different as we age, and how purpose and possibility don't disappear with time — they often deepen. This episode is part 2 of a series highlighting women who found friendship later in life and turned it into something meaningful. Gail and Catherine aren't just talking about what's possible after 70 — they're living it.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we celebrate the anniversary of A Different Kind of Truth!

Van Halen officially announced Tokyo Dome Live in Concert on February 5, 2015, following months of fan speculation and a leak just days earlier. Released March 31, 2015, the album became the band's first live record with original frontman David Lee Roth and bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, capturing the group on their A Different Kind of Truth tour in front of a massive Tokyo Dome crowd. The setlist spans every Roth-era Van Halen album, from the 1978 debut through 2012's A Different Kind of Truth, mixing early classics like “Runnin' with the Devil,” “Unchained,” and “Panama” with newer tracks such as “Tattoo” and “She's the Woman.” While the release was celebrated as a major reunion-era document, it also drew criticism in some circles for Roth's live vocal performance. According to Eddie Van Halen, the band first considered remixing early pre-fame demos, but the original tapes couldn't be located. They then explored releasing vintage club recordings, only to find the sound quality unusable. Instead, the band recorded every show on the 2012–2013 tour via Pro Tools, and Roth ultimately chose the Tokyo Dome performance as the official live release. The album's cover art updates Cassandre's classic 1935 painting of the SS Normandie, tying a vintage visual style to a modern live document of the band. Tokyo Dome Live in Concert would also go on to be the final Van Halen album released during Eddie Van Halen's lifetime, making it a significant closing chapter in the band's discography. Featuring David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Wolfgang Van Halen, and Alex Van Halen, the album stands as a snapshot of Van Halen's late-era live sound and a full-career celebration of the Roth catalog. "Exclusively Van Halen" is your ultimate destination for all things Van Halen. From deep dives into the band's legendary history to giveaways and gear showcases, we celebrate one of the greatest rock bands of all time — every week.

New York Times cooking writer and columnist Yewande Komolafe has long loved the solitary, meditative act of crafting intricate meals and comfort foods in the kitchen. But after multiple amputations profoundly altered her body, Komolafe had to learn to cook in a new way: with adaptive tools, learning “how to whisk a bowl of cream to milky soft peaks with prosthetic hands,” and with other chefs' assistance. That collaboration helped Komolafe better understand the curative effects of a good meal, both “physiologically and psychologically.” We talk with Komolafe about the restorative powers of cooking a hot dish of fried calamari or shrimp scampi and her journey of self-rediscovery. Her new article for the Times is “How Losing My Limbs Turned Me Into a Different Kind of Cook.” Guests: Yewande Komolafe, cooking writer and columnist, The New York Times Learn more about your ad choices.

Sports betting is exploding across the country. With online platforms, mobile apps, and aggressive marketing, it's never been easier to gamble — or easier to hide it. What many view as harmless entertainment may actually be reshaping how we think about money, community, and even discipleship.Pastor and author Kyle Worley—Lead Pastor of Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas, co-host of the Knowing Faith podcast, and author of Home with God: Our Union with Christ—recently wrote on this growing trend for Faithful Steward magazine. Today, he joins the show to explain why the rise of sports gambling deserves more careful thought from believers.A Different Kind of GamblingSports gambling carries a unique appeal. Unlike casinos or the lottery, it taps into nostalgia, play, and community.“Sports connect to childhood memories and communal experiences,” Worley notes. “That nostalgia makes sports betting feel natural, even harmless.”The danger lies in how subtly wagering attaches itself to something already meaningful—games shared with friends, family, or childhood heroes—making it easier to dismiss spiritual risks.What Does Scripture Actually Say?The Bible does not explicitly outlaw gambling. But it repeatedly warns against the desire for quick, hasty gain. Worley points to 1 Timothy 6:9–10, noting that it speaks directly to the temptations and destruction tied to wealth pursued rapidly and without wisdom. Gambling fits that pattern.Scripture's concern is not merely financial but formational. Gambling trains us to view wealth through the lens of chance, speed, and self-interest—the opposite of stewardship, patience, and contentment.The spiritual stakes aren't just internal. They are profoundly communal. Worley cites Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke:“The righteous disadvantage themselves for the sake of the community; the unrighteous advantage themselves at the expense of the community.”Modern betting apps are built on asymmetric outcomes—they profit only because others lose. And statistically, those losses fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.Many platforms use predatory models:Winners face worse odds or even shuttered accountsConsistent losers are enticed with better odds and larger limitsWorley compares it to handing a chainsaw to a child—unjust simply because not everyone absorbs the harm equally.Normalization and Cultural FormationSports gambling has moved from taboo to mainstream with startling speed. Betting lines now appear on ESPN, broadcasts, and social media—even during youth-oriented sports programming.The result: a generation being formed to see gambling as normal and morally neutral.Worley warns that where gambling proliferates, other forms of exploitation follow — including human trafficking during major sporting events. While the Bible may speak indirectly about gambling, it speaks directly about exploitation.Some point to the biblical practice of casting lots as justification for gambling. Worley draws a sharp distinction:Casting lots was a religious act of trust—not a wager. It carried no profit motive and served no entertainment purpose. Reframing it as support for modern gambling misunderstands its role entirely.How Churches Can Disciple BetterFor pastors and ministry leaders, Worley offers three recommendations:Talk More About Money - Many Christians lack a positive theology of wealth. That vacuum leaves them vulnerable to cultural narratives.Address “Respectable” Vices - Gambling isn't the only fun, socially accepted vice that harms stewardship. Churches must disciple beyond obvious sins.Create Healthy Avenues for Play and Connection - Sports betting offers counterfeit community, especially for men. Churches should provide better alternatives.The Wisdom Required TodayIn the end, debates about whether gambling is technically permissible miss the deeper biblical question: Does this help me love God and neighbor well?Worley's counsel is simple: navigate these decisions in community, under Scripture, with wisdom. Quick profit is never neutral—it forms us. And it shapes the people around us.As sports betting continues to surge, Christians will need more than opinions. They will need conviction, clarity, and a vision of stewardship that honors God and protects the vulnerable.———————————————————————————————————————Kyle Worley's full article, “The Real Stakes of Sports Betting,” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

January is chaos. February is clarity. And this year, the Gather Moms team is doing something different. In this season-opening episode, Kate and Rebecca kick off a brand-new year (and a brand-new season!) by proposing something radical for moms: What if your New Year didn't start until February? After the sugar crashes, the school reset, the burnout, and the abandoned resolutions, February is when moms can finally breathe—and actually decide who they want to become. That conversation opens the door to the heart of this episode: the launch of the “Bible Moms” season. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the Bible, unsure where to start, inconsistent, distracted, or even skeptical—this season was created with you in mind. Kate and Rebecca unpack why the Bible isn't just a book of stories, but one unified, miraculous narrative—and why knowing the whole story changes how we see God, ourselves, and our motherhood. Through humor, personal stories, and practical insight, they make the case that there is one habit that will shape every other area of a mom's life this year. You'll hear: Why January expectations crush moms—and why February is the reset we actually need Honest confessions about Bible guilt, inconsistency, and dry seasons A fresh, accessible way to understand the Bible's big picture (without feeling dumb or behind) Why moms are overwhelmed by voices—and how God's voice cuts through the noise What it really means to be a “Bible Mom” (hint: not perfection) How this season will walk you through Scripture using moms of the Bible as anchors An invitation to start right where you are—even if you don't own a Bible Whether you've walked with God for years, feel stuck in a spiritual rut, or aren't sure what you believe at all, you are welcome here. Don't have a Bible? Message Gather Moms on Instagram or Facebook, or comment “Bible” on YouTube—we would love to send you one. Want to go deeper?

If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child's school experience… If you're exhausted from meetings, emails, meltdowns, phone calls, and “something just isn't working”… If your child is bright, creative, kind, and capable — but school keeps telling a different story… This episode is for you. Today on ReDream Education, I am speaking straight to the families who feel trapped between public school and private school options that still don't fit. Maybe you're noticing anxiety, school refusal, burnout, boredom, sensory overload, bullying, or a complete mismatch between who your child is and the environment they're in. And I want you to hear this clearly: You're not crazy. You're not alone. And the problem isn't your child — it's the system. More parents than ever are waking up to the truth that traditional school models were not built for the needs of today's learners — especially neurodivergent children. And instead of waiting for slow, bureaucratic reform, families are taking the lead. Microschools. Homeschool hybrids. Learning pods. Flexible, personalized learning communities. These aren't fringe ideas anymore. They're becoming a movement — one that is growing because it meets the needs of real families. ⭐ In This Episode, I Share…

Slow seasons don't mean you're falling behind; they often mean something deeper is taking root.Kicking off the new Permission Series, Bobbi Brinkman shares her personal journey of stepping back, recalibrating, and choosing presence over performance.She reminds listeners that not all growth is loud or fast. Sometimes, the most meaningful transformation happens quietly — beneath the surface — long before it shows up in metrics or milestones.In this episode, Bobbi explores the kind of growth that doesn't look impressive on paper but still matters deeply. The kind that happens when things feel slower, less visible, or different than expected, and why those seasons are often doing more for us than we realize.This conversation isn't about pushing harder or speeding things up. It's about recognizing that not all growth looks the same, and that slow seasons can be powerful teachers if we're willing to listen.Tune in for encouragement, mindset shifts, and reflective questions designed to help you embrace slower seasons, redefine success, and build momentum that's both meaningful and sustainable.If you're in a season that feels different from what you expected, this episode is an invitation to pause, trust the process, and recognize the FABBO growth happening beneath the surface. Episode-Specific Links :A Grounded Beginning Let's keep the FABBO convo going, send me a text!Support the showThank you for being a FABBO listener and supporting the Be Fabbo Podcast

January often comes with pressure to start fresh, set big goals, and move fast, but what if this season is asking you to slow down instead? In this episode, Stacie Martinez of The Lucky Bandana opens up about honoring your season when your body, energy, or circumstances require a gentler pace.Together, we chat about releasing unrealistic timelines, redefining productivity, and letting go of comparison, especially when healing, burnout, or uncertainty are part of the picture. This episode offers permission to move slower, listen to your body, and trust that rest and care are not setbacks, but essential parts of a sustainable creative life.If January feels heavy or different than expected, this conversation is a reminder: you're not behind.

Songwriting isn't about coming up with ideas — it's about learning how to listen. In this episode, I'm sharing a different kind of ear training for singer-songwriters: one that helps you recognize song beginnings as they're already forming — where listening becomes the skill that guides everything else. We'll talk about the subtle ways songs often arrive: a line that won't leave you alone, a sound or melody fragment, a feeling that hasn't found words yet — and why learning to listen for these beginnings can change the entire songwriting process. Rather than forcing a song into shape, this episode explores how to notice what's already present and stay with it long enough for the song to reveal itself. This is ear training for the creative process — grounded, embodied, and accessible, even if you feel stuck or unsure where to begin. If songwriting has ever felt intimidating, overwhelming, or overly technical, this conversation offers a simpler starting place: attention, curiosity, and trust. Listening is where the song begins.  

Have you ever achieved something great, I'm talking about a major accomplishment, and then felt strangely hollow? Jesus understands that ache. He told His friends this, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” He's not talking about literal food or water; He's talking about nourishment that feeds our soul, bringing purpose, forgiveness, and love to our lives. Do you want to feed your soul with the bread of life? He loves you completely, and He wants to satisfy these longings. Pray with me now: “Jesus, I've tried to satisfy my heart without You. And now I come to You, and I ask—will You feed my soul, forgive me of my sin, and teach me to walk with You? In Jesus name. Amen.” Always remember, there is hope with God.

Gone By Lunchtime is taking a break over summer. We'll be back soon with new episodes but, until then, here's one of our favourites from 2025: Hot on the heels of the publication of A Different Kind of Power comes Prime Minister, an enthralling new film that applies a genuinely gobsmacking lens on Jacinda Ardern's time in power. In this special edition of Gone By Lunchtime, Madeleine Chapman, editor of the Spinoff (and author of Jacinda Ardern: A New Kind of Leader), joins Toby Manhire to talk about the film, which has just had its New Zealand premiere at the NZ International Film Festival, and the autobiography, what they tell us about Ardern and what they don't.

1984 (stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984.[2] It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences. This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (Van Halen brothers, Roth, and Michael Anthony), although they reunited briefly in 2000 to start work on what would much later become 2012's A Different Kind of Truth.[3] Roth returned in 2007, but Eddie's son Wolfgang replaced Anthony in 2006.[2] 1984 and Van Halen's debut are Van Halen's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies in the United States.[4] 1984 was well received by music critics. Rolling Stone ranked the album number 81 on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s. It reached number two on the Billboard 200 and remained there for five weeks, kept off the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller, on which guitarist Eddie Van Halen made a guest performance. 1984 produced four singles, including "Jump", Van Halen's only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100; the top-20 hits "Panama" and "I'll Wait"; and the MTV favorite "Hot for Teacher". The album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1999, signifying ten million shipped copies in the U.S. 1984 track listing Side one No. Title Length 1.

In this New Year's episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest make the case that most resolutions fail because they focus on the wrong things: outcomes and behaviors rather than key values. They explore how we can identify our important values, embrace caring about them, and start to let them change our behavior. Forrest talks about how we can differentiate authentic values from “conditions of worth,” and Dr. Rick shares a number of ways to get more in touch with what matters to you. Topics include translating “shoulds” into values, experiencing more autonomy and agency, creating personal narratives, and finding your “stance toward the year.” Key Topics:  0:00: Intro: values, self-concept, and levels of action 7:22: Living from states of having, doing, and being 13:09: Stances toward life based in threat versus opportunity; what are you paying attention to? 20:18: Examining “shoulds” to find and define your authentic values  33:30: Emulating the people you admire and respect most 41:55: Strategies to identify your root values  54:05: Recap Rick's Goals Course: If you want to get more out of the year ahead check out Rick's online course on resolutions that last.

David Lee Roth Announces 30-Date 2026 North American Tour David Lee Roth is officially back on the road. The former Van Halen frontman has announced a 30-date tour across the U.S. and Canada, kicking off April 16 in Airway Heights, Washington, and wrapping up August 7 in Sturgis, South Dakota. The announcement follows Roth's return to the stage in May 2025, ending a five-year hiatus. That comeback debuted at the M3 Festival, where Roth introduced a new eight-piece backing band that included four dedicated backing vocalists. “We've reached the end of my first retirement,” Roth joked during the performance. “How many retirements did Rocky have — nine?” Ticket pre-sales begin Tuesday, January 6 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale starting Friday, January 9 at 10 a.m. local time. While Roth has released several stand-alone singles over the years, it has been more than two decades since his last solo album. His most recent full-length release was 2012's A Different Kind of Truth, recorded with Van Halen during their reunion.

Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You don't need a better planner, a 4 a.m. alarm, or a fresh pack of highlighters to change your life this year. What you really need is something deeper—a vision that pulls you forward instead of pressuring you from behind. A vision that's worth changing for.   Resolutions fixate on doing more, being better, running faster. They're rooted in lack, in the places you feel behind, in everything you think needs correcting. But vision? Vision shapes who you're becoming. It invites growth instead of shaming you into hustle.   And that one reframe changes everything. Today, we're diving into how to build a God-given vision that lasts longer than February and doesn't burn you out in the process. Not the white-knuckle kind, but the kind God grows in you step by step—steady, faithful, and full of hope.   Timestamps: (00:20) - Why Resolutions Burn Out & Vision Actually Sticks (03:03) - Resolutions Chase Results, Vision Shapes Identity (03:42) - Why Your Nervous System Pushes Back Against Massive Overhauls (04:24) - How Vision Creates Alignment Instead of More Hustle (07:25) - Practical, Doable Steps for Building a Meaningful Vision   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Makeup Recommendation - Sephora Colorful Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Multi-Stick Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

In this episode, Akshay shares what it felt like to leave firm life, take a financial risk for his family, and build a career that better aligned with how he wanted to live and work.Lawyer Side HustlesAlongside his executive career, Akshay has become deeply involved in teaching and mentorship. He teaches at Santa Clara Law University and regularly speaks to law students and early-career lawyers about the evolving nature of the legal profession. These roles allow him to reflect on how dramatically the landscape has changed since he graduated and to help students see opportunities that didn't exist when he was in their position.“The world is literally your oyster right now,” Akshay Verma expresses in Episode 225 of You Are a Lawyer.While Akshay doesn't frame this work as a traditional side hustle, it reflects a meaningful extension of his professional identity. Through teaching and public speaking, he contributes to reshaping how lawyers think about success, fulfillment, and career flexibility. His work outside his day job reinforces the idea that a legal career can be expansive, iterative, and deeply personal, not just confined to a single title or track.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

What if this isn't the year you reinvent yourself? What if this is the year you return to yourself, to your own personal strengths, your genuine values, your natural way of working? This first episode of 2025 challenges the pressure to set aggressive goals and push harder. Through examples of creators who grew significantly in 2025 using completely opposite approaches, we explore why there's no single formula for success, only your formula. I introduce three principles for building a lighter, steadier business: making it truer rather than louder, choosing depth over momentum, and embracing small aligned shifts. If you're tired of forcing yourself into someone else's model, this episode offers a refreshing path forward.   Key Moments: [00:00] The pressure of new year expectations: A gentler alternative approach [01:19] Why traditional business advice doesn't work for creative minds [04:52] Doing things your way: Example - Creators with completely different approaches, both successful [08:52] 3 Principles to anchor you in 2026  [15:15] Personal story: how removing rather than adding transformed my floral business [17:05] Three grounding questions for the year ahead   Notable Quotes: "Your business doesn't need to be louder than everyone else's. It needs to be more authentically yours." "Big transformations almost always come from gentle, repeated adjustments.

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood, Monica Healer, the host, offers a heartfelt discussion aimed at early childhood educators, focusing on how personal growth in wisdom, physical well-being, and faith can impact their teaching and caregiving roles.

She shares practical strategies for daily reflection, self-care, and spiritual development, encouraging educators to seek God's guidance, nourish their bodies, and strengthen their faith. Ending with a reminder of the eternal impact educators have on children and their communities, Monica provides actionable steps to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man in the coming year. 00:00 Introduction to Reimagine Childhood 01:01 A Different Kind of Episode 01:41 Growing in Wisdom 04:39 Taking Care of Your Physical Body 10:26 Nurturing Your Relationship with God 16:50 Growing in Favor with Man 20:39 Final Encouragement and Farewell

In this Christmas-themed episode, Renee Swanson explores the impact of covert narcissism on personal relationships, particularly during the holiday season. Using the metaphor of the Grinch, she discusses how covert narcissists can subtly steal joy, anticipation, and traditions, leaving individuals feeling hollow and anxious. However, she emphasizes the importance of community and reclaiming one's truth, integrity, and peace, encouraging listeners to recognize their strength and the joy that can still exist despite past trauma. Takeaways: Humor grounded in truth can be healing. Covert narcissists often appear friendly but drain joy. They steal emotional peace rather than physical items. Anticipation for joyful events can turn into dread. Community support is crucial for healing. Your truth and integrity remain intact despite abuse. Healing is a personal journey that can be complicated. Recognizing patterns of abuse brings clarity. Peace belongs to the present, not the past. Christmas can be redefined on your own terms.

Your coach isn't your bestie. And that's a good thing. When you admit your marriage is in trouble, you need love that sees your blind spots, challenges your excuses, and won't let you settle. I share a Q&A moment where a woman wanted a pep talk about reconciling while still in an affair. I paused and chose the truth: “I could make you feel better, but I kind of don't want to.” I called her higher, named the avoidance, and laid out her real choices: end the affair and give the marriage your all release the marriage and see where the affair goes keep lying until it blows up That's the love I offer as a coach: I hold up the mirror and walk beside you while you do the hard, honest work. Because “when someone pushes you to be better, it's not criticism. It's an act of love.” Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

As we celebrate five years of the Healing Medicine podcast, this episode is a reflection on what has truly sustained us—intention, alignment, and choosing with awareness.  Together, we explore how consistency rooted in love, not obligation, leads to energy, creativity, and sustainability. We share personal stories about letting go, taking pauses, and returning to what feels alive.  This conversation is also a joyful announcement: our Connect in Nature Retreat is returning July 30–August 2, 2026. It's a decision made not out of expectation, but because we missed it, and because we chose it again. Whether you're feeling weary from "pushing through" or simply curious about a gentler way to stay committed, this episode offers a new lens and a powerful invitation to rechoose, realign, and return to yourself.     Pearls of Wisdom: Sustainability isn't about willpower, it's about choosing with presence and letting alignment lead. Feelings of resistance or resentment are gentle cues to pause, reevaluate, and possibly release. Healing happens when we release the pressure to perform and give ourselves permission to rest and evolve. Fun, ease, and joy aren't frivolous, they are wise signals of what's truly aligned. Spaciousness, non-judgment, and collaboration support the longevity of meaningful work.     Reflection Questions: Where in your life are you being consistent by force, rather than by choice? What would it feel like to choose instead of push? Which commitments feel alive and which might be asking for a pause, a shift, or a graduation? Where could more lightness or joy gently be welcomed in?   Why Connect in Nature is a Different Kind of Retreat Connect in Nature is unlike any other retreat I offer. It is the only opportunity to work in person with both Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang and Dr. Jessie Mahoney. It's intentionally designed for healers, physicians, and wellness professionals who crave a reset rooted in nature, mindfulness, and joy. Held at the Green Gulch Zen Center just north of San Francisco, you'll be surrounded by eucalyptus groves, redwoods, gardens, and the quiet beauty of the California coast. Here's what makes it special: Nature as co-teacher: Forest bathing, beach meditation, and fog hikes support nervous system healing. Freedom to choose: All practices are optional and guided with non-judgment—you participate in what serves you. Spaciousness: Core retreat hours are 10:30–3:30, with optional morning offerings and space for rest, reflection, or local exploration. Inclusive and welcoming: Open to all genders and professions—bring a partner, a colleague, a friend, or come solo. Choose your own lodging at local inns, allowing for private rest and personal integration. This retreat isn't about pushing yourself. It's about letting nature and mindfulness gently bring you home. Join us July 30–August 2, 2026 at Green Gulch Zen Center.   And yes—it's over my birthday weekend, and there's no better way to celebrate than in community, in nature, and in joy.
