BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.51| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to the GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST, hosted by Chimdi Ohahuna. In this enlightening episode of our Bible study series on the Miracles of Jesus, Chimdi Ohahuna guides us through the powerful truth of "The Gift of Faith," as highlighted in John 6:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:9. We focus on the significance of spiritual gifts and their impact on the lives of believers. This session emphasizes that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the Gift of Faith, are inherently given to every child of God and cannot be earned through acts like fasting or prayer. Rather, these spiritual gifts are embedded within us, and as we cultivate spiritual maturity, manifesting and maintaining these gifts becomes a natural process. Key learning points include: - Differentiating between the rudimentary faith received at new birth and the extraordinary Gift of Faith, which empowers believers to confront significant challenges with confidence. - Highlighting the importance of spiritual maturity, not only in discovering our gifts but also in utilizing them effectively throughout our lives. - Understanding how an individual's gifts are inherently connected to their unique natural strengths and how focusing on these strengths amplifies our faith journey. - Recognizing the extraordinary potential of the Gift of Faith, which allows believers to accomplish remarkable feats and experience God's presence in impactful ways. Our insights will draw from the commentaries of F.B. Meyer and John Gill, which reveal how God works through His gifts, enabling us to communicate and act with divine authority. This episode will inspire you to fully embrace and utilize your spiritual gifts, fostering a deeper connection with God that leads to extraordinary outcomes. Join us for this enlightening session that promises to deepen your understanding of faith and equip you with the tools to walk confidently in the abundance of God's grace. Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your faith journey! Subscribe to the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast for more impactful teachings as we journey together through the miracles of Jesus Christ!

"You must resist the temptation to go back and to cling to what you know because it's comfortable". What do you do when nothing makes sense anymore, when you've let go of who you were but haven't yet become who you're meant to be? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I explore the void, that sacred, often painful space between life chapters where transformation is quietly unfolding. Maybe you feel stuck, tired, uninspired, or disconnected. You're not broken. You're not lost. You're simply in the space between stories. I'll guide you through how to embrace the unknown, trust the timing of your soul, and stop forcing clarity before it's ready. The void is not the end, it's the sacred pause before the beginning. Tune in and learn how to navigate the void with grace, surrender, and trust, so you can emerge renewed, realigned, and ready for your next level. Timestamps: (00:05:34) - What is the void, and why does it feel so terrifying. (00:07:25) - The ego's temptation to cling to the familiar. (00:09:47) - The void as a sacred space of transition. (00:12:09) - Differentiating the void from depression, burnout, or failure. (00:15:10) - The void is not a punishment, it's a portal. (00:17:05) -  Why the void is so intense: ego panic, identity loss, warped time. (00:18:08) -  The nervous system's reset and transformation during the void. (00:20:34) - Practical steps to navigate the void: rest, grieve, feel. (00:23:59) - Deepening your spiritual practice during the void. (00:25:37) - The void is not the end, it's the space before the beginning. Some questions I ask:  What is the void, and why is it such a sacred yet uncomfortable space? Why do we resist the void, and what happens when we try to rush through it? How can we navigate the void with trust, grace, and spiritual depth? What are the practical steps we can take when we're “in between” lives? In this episode, you will learn about:  What “the void” really is, and why it's one of the most sacred and transformational spaces in your life. Why the void can feel terrifying, confusing, or unproductive, and how to navigate it without losing yourself. How to resist the ego's urge to cling to the past or rush into action just to feel safe. Why the void is not a punishment or failure, but a powerful pause where your soul rewires and resets. How to honor the emotions that arise in the void, grief, confusion, fatigue, and process them with compassion. A simple 3-minute daily technique Kute uses to rewire the subconscious and raise your vibration. How surrendering to the unknown blows your true self.

Moses Williams (SO/SP 5w6 513) is back for round two, and we dive straight into what he calls “the mortifying stuff.” We explore the dissonance of being autistic and socially wired — craving connection but feeling like a fish trying to fly. Moses speaks candidly about navigating sexual arousal alongside the fear of being seen as creepy or delusional, and what it's like to experience intense desire as someone who's sexual blind. He names his instinct to hide, control, and strategize, and what happens when that scaffolding starts to crack. We talk about being a triple competency type (513), the impulse to do everything alone, and the sharp suspicion that other people just get in the way. But then something unexpected happens: Moses softens. What starts as a conversation about childhood patterns and self-analysis ends in a rare emotional opening, as Moses entertains the dangerous hope that someone might actually want to stay.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Self-care gets a lot of airtime these days, but I've started rethinking what it actually means, especially when you're struggling with hoarding disorder. In this episode, I talk about why marketed, consumer-driven “self-care” just adds more pressure, and why nurturing yourself with compassion, connection, and practical routines is far more effective. Plus, I share some genuinely helpful, low-cost ways to support yourself without adding to the clutter - or your to-do list. Self-Care in Modern Times Evolution of the meaning of “self-care”: The older, practical definition (basic hygiene, nourishment) Current consumer-driven, extravagant interpretations Critique of modern self-care commercialisation Challenges of Hoarding and Mental Health Struggles Emotional toll of hoarding disorder Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief The exhausting process of trying to “fix” things Daily stressors of living in a hoard Feelings of failure, constant reminders, adrenaline spikes from unexpected visitors, tripping over items The Real Purpose of Self-Care Balancing negative emotions (stress, grief, trauma) with activities that nurture the soul Evaluating popular self-care advice The problem with universal, commercialised recommendations Importance of individualised, inward-looking approaches Introducing the Concept of "Self-Nurture" How self-nurture differs from self-care Greater compassion, sustainability, and personalisation Emphasis on looking inwards for individual needs Practical examples of self-nurturing activities The Pitfalls of Commercialised Self-Care The “shoulds” culture and guilt surrounding unmet self-care standards Surface-level versus meaningful acts of care How marketed solutions often do not address real needs Guilt and shame when unable to practice recommended self-care (especially for those who hoard) Consumer Culture and Self-Care Self-care as a commodified experience: Encouragement to buy unnecessary products How this affects people who hoard Risk of exacerbating clutter by acquiring more as “self-care” Focus on external fixes rather than internal wellbeing The Benefits of Self-Nurture Self-nurture as inexpensive or free Focus on activities rather than acquisitions Finding joy or restoration in simple practices (e.g., using what you have, accessing the library, running without specialised gear) Compassionate Self-Nurture in Practice Asking internal questions about core needs (physical, emotional, psychological) Treating oneself as one would treat a person they love Emphasis on gentle, non-critical, incremental progress Drinking water for wellbeing rather than obligation Time in nature, connecting with friends, creativity, self-acceptance Building Emotional Security and Gentleness Establishing emotional security as a core need Managing self-criticism and reaching out for connection despite anxiety Celebration of small wins and progress Validating and acknowledging difficult feelings with compassion Evaluating and Choosing Nurturing Activities Key questions to ask: “Will this nurture me emotionally, psychologically, or physically?” Differentiating between genuine needs and justifying unnecessary purchases Avoidance of reinforcing negative patterns through acquisition Developing a Personal Toolbox for Self-Nurture Gathering and customising strategies that work Routines and coping mechanisms Taking stock of helpful techniques, personalising approaches Recognising and valuing unique sources of restoration Top Tip DIY, low-cost tip for cleaning the dishwasher with household items Encouragement to take any step, however small, towards self-nurture Links The "feeling your feelings" episode Episodes talking about the inner critic: with Steve Chapman; about the song that changed everything for me; and about making mistakes Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom session: Accountability Booking Form Website: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding Become a Dehoarding Darling Submit a topic for the podcast to cover Questions to ask when dehoarding: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/podquestions Instagram: @thathoarderpodcast Twitter: @ThatHoarder Mastodon: @ThatHoarder@mastodon.online TikTok: @thathoarderpodcast Facebook: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Pinterest: That Hoarder YouTube: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder Reddit: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding with That Hoarder subreddit Help out: Support this project Sponsor the podcast

In this episode, we examine the evaluation of pain in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis, with particular attention to spondyloarthritis and its clinical overlap with fibromyalgia.

Join us as we unpack the diagnostic nuances that can significantly impact patient care. 

How confident are you when sharing your rates? In this episode, we explore the mindset of being price proud—what it means to stand behind your pricing without apology. We discuss how pricing is a reflection of your values, structure, and the quality of your service. From overcoming imposter syndrome to handling client pushback, we share practical tips to strengthen confidence and communication. Whether you're a solo sitter or leading a team, this episode will inspire you to sell with pride, not guilt. Main Topics: Value-based pricing strategy Overcoming pricing insecurities Confidence in client communication Differentiating premium pet care Reframing sales as service Main Takeaway: “We're not extracting money—we're delivering something worth paying for.” Pricing shouldn't make you squirm. If you believe in the quality of your service—your training, your structure, your reliability—then your pricing becomes a reflection of that value. Being price proud means you stop apologizing and start owning your role as a professional. Clients don't just pay for a dog walk; they pay for peace of mind, for consistency, for trust. When you confidently communicate your rates, you're showing clients what they're truly getting—and why you're worth it. Links: Episode 592 Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

In this follow-up episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back guest Barb Betts for a deeper dive into a powerful idea: the confidence to build a thriving law practice begins with embracing your authentic self. For lawyers, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a strategic advantage that drives client trust, firm growth, and personal satisfaction. Barb shares her powerful concept of “17 moments”—life-changing events like teenage pregnancy and severe hair loss—that taught her to stop hiding and stand in her truth. These moments are critical for attorneys, revealing the resilience and identity needed to navigate complex legal challenges. By reflecting on your own “17 moments,” you can show up as a confident expert, not a performer, in client meetings and courtrooms. Barb offers practical strategies for building a law firm with confidence: Price with Confidence: Stop people-pleasing and charge what your expertise is worth. Barb explains how underpricing stems from self-doubt, a common trap for solo attorneys. Be the Expert, Not a Performer: Clients hire you to solve problems they can't, from divorces to business disputes. Authenticity builds trust and fosters loyal client relationships. Embrace Self-Doubt: Imposter syndrome signals growth. Use it to refine your approach and strengthen your practice. Align Practice with Purpose: Authenticity creates a rewarding practice and a balanced life, fulfilling the Great Practice, Great Life ethos. This episode offers actionable insights to overcome self-doubt, stand firm in your value, and build a thriving practice. Tune in to learn how building a law firm with confidence transforms your client relationships, pricing strategy, and life.

Class II “me-too” devices may avoid clinical trials, while Class III and novel devices usually require significant evidence.Understand Design Controls EarlyReverse-engineering documentation late in development is risky and inefficient. Start early with user needs and build forward through the five pillars: inputs, outputs, verification, and validation.Cross-functional Understanding Prevents Compliance GapsMarketing, clinical, and R&D all influence regulatory standing. Even social media likes can trigger off-label scrutiny—every department needs to understand their regulatory impact.Reading Regulations Is Not OptionalA strong regulatory foundation is key to faster development, better audits, and smoother market access. Resources like 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485 are surprisingly readable and essential.References & ResourcesEtienne Nichols on LinkedInChris Rush on LinkedIn

Are pediatricians prepared for the mental health crisis that's impacting so many of our children today?In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with nationally recognized child psychiatrist and podcast host Dr. Elise Fallucco to uncover the urgent realities facing pediatric practice. From understanding why a simple podcast name change can transform the reach of critical mental health education, to exploring the real-world, stepwise journey pediatricians navigate when facing complex child anxiety and medication management, this episode is a masterclass in practical empowerment. Listeners will discover actionable strategies for burnout, the evolving landscape of pediatric mental health treatment, and authentic stories of resilience, support, and resourcefulness. The stakes have never been higher—and the need to equip pediatric clinicians with the right knowledge and mindset is more critical than ever. Don't miss this invigorating roadmap for providing exceptional care in panicked times.[00:02 - 05:46] Branding, Access, and Reaching Pediatric CliniciansPediatric mental health education is increasingly being disseminated beyond in-person local trainings, leveraging digital platforms like podcasts to amplify access and reach.Clear, descriptive branding ensures the right clinicians can find mental health resources at the exact moment they need support in practice.The main driver in choosing content is what pediatricians most urgently seek: practical, actionable advice about managing medications for anxiety and ADHD.Making specialized knowledge accessible via on-demand, digestible podcast episodes empowers clinicians to feel less isolated and more competent.[05:47 - 13:30] The Ongoing Challenge of Anxiety, Burnout, and Self-CareAnxiety has emerged as the most common and burdensome mental health concern for children, exacerbated by societal stress and recent global events.Differentiating normal anxiety from clinical anxiety is crucial: functional impairment and life disruption are key markers for escalated intervention.Coping strategies for clinicians are vital; the “three pillars” are staying busy with purposeful activity, reaffirming personal/professional mission, and prioritizing self-care.Peer connection, exercise, and carving out time for meaningful relationships are highlighted as essential personal de-stressors.[13:31 - 25:00] Building Skill, Facing Complexity, and the Realities of CarePediatricians experience a four-stage progression from fear and avoidance to high-confidence care in managing pediatric mental health—each with unique challenges and rewards.Access limitations to child psychiatry have forced primary care clinicians to expand their skillsets and comfort zones, often out of necessity.Collaborative consultation programs, like psychiatric access hotlines, accelerate learning, build confidence, and foster an environment where sharing expertise is normalized.Developing fluency with diagnoses and medication management leads to more effective and streamlined care; “herd immunity” and practice culture shifts increase collective capacity.[25:01 - 36:05] Pain Points, Solutions, and Sustaining Progress in Pediatric Mental HealthBarriers to therapy—including logistics, family skepticism, and stigma—limit effective care, even as access improves; motivational interviewing is a partial solution but not a panacea.Integrated behavioral health models and school-based clinics offer promising solutions by reducing friction and meeting children and families where they are.Time constraints and misaligned incentives remain top frustrations; procedures are often reimbursed more than complex mental health care, despite the latter's intensity and impact.Empathy,...
