Stopping the shame spiral—what if the fastest way out isn't more willpower, but more compassion? In this episode of Alcohol Freedom Coaching, Coach Hayley supports Carol, a newly retired grandmother who felt “so far behind” after a vacation slip, and Coach Cole guides Nancy, a devoted mom caring for a daughter with complex special needs, who's learning to relax without wine and let go of “I should be doing more” guilt. Together, they model how to shift from self-blame to curiosity, build emotion-based goals (happiness, energy, motivation), and reconnect with support inside The Path. In Carol's session: Naming the belief: “I'm so far behind” vs. “I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.” Turning slips into data points—not identity—and choosing curiosity over criticism. Building emotion-based goals: happiness, energy, motivation as a north star. Breaking overwhelm: 15-minute re-entry (one video, one call, one journal prompt). Navigating travel and social events without defaulting to comparison or shame. Finding connection again: taking up space on calls even when you feel “not bad enough.” Practical reframe for 3 a.m. thoughts and night-after guilt. Tools for stopping the shame spiral after a vacation or wedding slip .…and more. In Nancy's session: Spotting guilt in the body (chest/shoulders tightness) and softening with micro-moments. Permission slips: letting older siblings help, one small experiment at a time. Replacing the 4 p.m. wine ritual with soothing, sensory evening routines. Distinguishing healthy guilt (course-correct) from toxic shame (self-attack). Creating a “treat” that isn't alcohol: porch time, breathwork, a few pages of a novel. Scripts to ask for help without apologizing for your needs.How curiosity interrupts ruminating about “not doing enough.” Practical ideas for stopping the shame spiral when responsibilities feel nonstop .…and more.

Prophetic Insights into the Spirit of Haman | KIB 519 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this week's Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 519), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake turn toward the biblical season of Purim and the prophetic lessons embedded in the book of Esther. As hidden things continue to be revealed in our day, Purim reminds us that God is not absent—He is orchestrating reversals, positioning His people, and bringing justice in His timing. Dr. Lake explores a powerful character study of Esther's three central figures—Esther, Mordecai, and Haman—and shows how Haman's identity as "the Agagite" connects the narrative to the ancient war with Amalek. You'll see how Saul's incomplete obedience created consequences that surfaced generations later—and how God raised up Mordecai and Esther to finish what Saul failed to do. This episode also examines the psychological and spiritual profile of Haman: pride, entitlement, obsession with honor, rage at dissent, manipulation of law and finances, and genocidal hatred. The discussion highlights how these traits mirror the "Amalekite/Haman spirit" at work through systems, propaganda, and bureaucratic power—then and now. Finally, we look at the hope of Purim: divine reversal—the trap of the wicked becoming their own downfall—and the call for the remnant to cultivate spiritual "mnemonic triggers" that keep us anchored in covenant faithfulness, humility, and the Word of God. Key themes: Purim, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, Amalek, covenant warfare, generational consequences, divine reversal, remnant preparation, end-times spiritual conflict.

Functional dystonia can closely mimic idiopathic dystonia, and objective physiological markers to support the diagnosis are still limited. In this episode, Dr. Michele Matarazzo speaks with Prof. Roberto Eleopra about a pilot study using poly-EMG during a controlled propofol sedation protocol to help differentiate functional from idiopathic dystonia. They discuss the study's rationale and design, the key findings, and what this approach could (and could not) add to real-world diagnostic workflows in selected complex cases.

In this free live masterclass, I connect the dots between women's healthspan, chronic stress, and the biological cost of living out of alignment. Even when your habits look "healthy."  I talk about why the longevity conversation has been dominated by male-centered frameworks, and what happens when women override their intuition for years (in work, relationships, family dynamics, and daily decisions). This is an invitation to stop treating intuition like a "soft" topic—and start seeing it as a health input that shapes inflammation, hormones, nervous system regulation, and long-term vitality.

Protect your insulation business from liability and ensure you get paid for every job with expert legal strategies designed specifically for contractors. Learn why a handshake isn't enough and how a proper contract can save you from expensive litigation. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Karalynn Cromeens, Managing Partner of The Cromeens Law Firm and host of the "Quit Getting Screwed" podcast. Construction law expert Karalynn Cromeens joins the show to discuss the critical importance of written contracts in the residential insulation industry. She explains why "managing expectations" is the number one defense against lawsuits and how specific contract language can limit liability, especially for spray foam applicators dealing with pre-existing building defects. The discussion highlights the dangers of working without a signed agreement—even for small or pro-bono jobs—and provides actionable advice on how to structure warranties to avoid the "never-ending punch list" that delays final payment. Beyond contracts, the conversation shifts to dispute resolution and the financial side of running a contracting business. Karalynn shares candid advice on why settling fast is often better than being "right" in court and why you should trust your gut when a potential client raises red flags. Listeners will also learn about the legal necessities of change orders, the protection offered by incorporating as an LLC versus a sole proprietorship, and how to effectively leverage liens and demand letters to ensure payment. Inside this episode... 02:05 – Karalynn's background in the industry and the mission of the Subcontractor Institute. 05:21 – The importance of a clear Scope of Work to manage homeowner expectations and avoid "HGTV" standards. 07:08 – Distinguishing between punch lists and warranty claims to finalize jobs and get paid faster. 10:04 – Limiting liability for spray foam contractors when facing poor building conditions or incorrect substrates. 16:32 – Why settling a dispute quickly is often cheaper and less stressful than winning in litigation. 22:14 – Implementing cancellation fees to protect your profit if a homeowner breaches the contract

Distinguishing aspiration from striving with ego, Joseph Goldstein gives listeners permission to have a sense of purpose along their spiritual path.This week on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein discusses:Having a sense of purpose within the impersonal nature of all things Aspiration: understanding why we are practicing What the Buddha said about purpose and aspiration on The Eightfold PathSeeing the world objectively without reference to the selfBeing a great faith follower versus a dharma followerResting in our practice and letting go of unhealthy striving Insight Meditation Society and its commitment to diversity Maintaining the right attitude and openness to all experiencesThis episode was recorded at the Insight Meditation Society Forest Refuge and originally published on Dharmaseed"The Buddha definitely laid out a goal. The Eightfold Path leads someplace—it's not just meandering around, not going any place. The Eightfold path is leading to awakening, to enlightenment. We can have that aspiration which sets the direction for our practice, we can say that is a sense of purpose, but we're seeing it not so much in terms of an egoful striving, but a realization of our values and what leads to the accomplishment of our values." – Joseph GoldsteinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever wondered why, despite our best intentions, we keep falling into the same relationship traps? Or how two people can feel worlds apart even when they desperately want things to work? The subtle dance of self-worth, mutual respect, and compatibility often determines whether love thrives or fizzles out. Too often, we end up settling for relationships that slowly chip away at our confidence, hoping for change while ignoring the mismatch in values, traits, and emotional needs. In this episode, listeners are guided through a groundbreaking and practical approach for understanding the science behind love and relationship fulfillment. The conversation explores how to identify personal values and trait preferences, assess compatibility, break destructive patterns, and recognize the significance of self-worth in sustaining a healthy partnership. With fresh, research-backed insights, the episode offers actionable steps and honest reflections to help anyone desiring deeper connection, clarity, and empowerment in their romantic life.

In this episode, Tiffany discusses why we have entered a pivotal season where true thought leadership is more critical than ever. Distinguishing between "influencers" and "leaders," Tiffany argues that in a world filled with noise and fragmentation, people are no longer looking for more information, they are looking for orientation.Tiffany shares her insights on the shift away from "bro marketing" and overly polished personal brands toward grounded, values-led leadership. She reframes thought leadership as an act of service and a responsibility, particularly for coaches, speakers, and authors who carry ideas capable of creating a lasting legacy. The episode also introduces Tiffany's signature framework: The Three Types of Thought Leaders, designed to help you identify your natural leadership style and show up with more intention and impact.Key TakeawaysOrientation > Information: In an era of AI-accelerated content, the role of a thought leader is to help others make sense of complexity and find their way through uncertainty.Thought Leadership is Service: Stepping into the spotlight isn't an act of ego; it's an act of responsibility. When true experts stay quiet, the void is filled by louder, shallower voices.The Power of Discernment: Our differentiator is no longer access to ideas, but the ability to provide discernment and guidance that people can trust.Own Your Perspective: Stepping into leadership requires giving yourself permission to be seen, heard, and even a little bit "triggering" to those who need to hear your truth.The Three Types of Thought Leaders:The Wayfinder: You help people make sense of complexity. You see patterns, connect dots, and articulate what others are feeling but can't yet name.The Builder: You turn insights into structure. You create the frameworks, methods, and step-by-step systems that allow people to implement ideas.The Catalyst: You are the spark for movement. You help people overcome fear, take brave action, and build immediate momentum.Mentioned ResourcesConnect with Tiffany on LinkedIn: Follow for daily reflections, frameworks, and real-time Thought Leader insightsWork with Tiffany: Branding, Websites and Messaging for coaches consultants, speakers, and authors looking to turn their ideas into a movement.Final Thought from the Episode:"You don't have to lead like anyone else; you just have to lead like you...

Distinguishing between ADHD and anxiety can feel a bit like trying to figure out if you're sneezing because of a cold or because your neighbor just started mowing their lawn - or maybe it's a bit of both, the symptoms look the same, but the solution is very different. This week, I'm talking with Dr. Mona Potter, a Harvard-trained, board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of InStride Health. Dr. Potter spent years at McLean Hospital pioneering treatments for anxiety and OCD, and has a unique perspective on how we can manage the specific brand of exhaustion that comes with being neurodivergent in a world that never stops moving. Today, we're exploring the bio psycho social model—which is just a fancy way of saying we're looking at your sleep, your stress, and your chemistry all at once. We discuss the "optimal zone" of anxiety and how it can actually mask ADHD symptoms until you find a treatment that works, the difference between a "crutch" and a tool, and why parents (and adults) should stop trying to be the "external executive function" for everyone around them. We also take a deep dive into the specific mechanics of OCD and why the structure that saves an ADHDer might actually feed an obsessive loop. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/269 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips To tell ADHD and anxiety apart, look at what's pulling your focus. ADHD distractions are often external (the world "tapping you on the shoulder"), while anxiety distractions are typically internal (a "side commentary" of what could go wrong). Remember that medication can turn down the biological "volume" of symptoms, but it doesn't build skills or "brain muscles." Use the quiet provided by medication as a window to practice the executive function habits you need. While structure and rituals are helpful for ADHD, they can feed OCD. If you have both, you must learn to sit with the distress of not performing a ritual (Exposure and Response Prevention) rather than making things "seamless".

Energized, driven, “on a high” – or at the edge of something more serious? This Mind the Kids episode, “Energized or at risk? Distinguishing subclinical hypomania in adolescents”, explores how to tell the difference between healthy teenage intensity and something more problematic. Host Mark Tebbs talks to Dr. Georgina Hosang about the topic of hypomania, as she draws on her expertise and research. The conversation unpacks what hypomania can look like at home and at school, how it overlaps with typical mood swings and ADHD, and other conditions, and which red flags suggest it's time to seek specialist help.​Listeners will hear practical guidance on what parents, carers, teachers, and young people themselves can watch for, how to talk about concerns without stigma, and why early recognition matters for safety, learning, and long‑term wellbeing. This episode is for anyone supporting adolescents who seem unusually “switched on”, wired, or risk‑taking – and who wants clear, compassionate advice on when to simply ride the wave, and when to seek assistance.For more details read the JCPP paper ‘Subclinical hypomania, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diagnoses: phenotypic and aetiological overlap' by Georgina M.

Today I'm joined by Brownell Landrum, author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment. We explore how wishing engages over a dozen different sciences - from neuroscience to quantum physics - and discover the difference between ego goals and cosmic wishes that come FROM the universe, not from our conditioned mind.About Brownell Landrum:Brownell Landrum is the author of The Art and Science of Wishing and founder of The Cosmic Wish Experiment, a global grassroots effort to elevate collective conscious energy through a simple, fun, and free process based on solid science.Her research reveals that wishing is a universal practice woven throughout every culture and faith tradition—one of humanity's most powerful expressions of hope, intention, and survival. As a storyteller, she quotes over 70 scientists, bridging the spiritual and the scientific.Key Insights from Our Conversation:Cosmic Wishes vs. Ego GoalsMost goals come from our ego/conditioned self—we think we need X to be happyCosmic wishes come TO us when we're not looking—from the quantum field of unlimited possibilitiesAccess them through curiosity and questions, not forcing: "What is actually aligned for me?"The Power of Responding to LifeWe're here to respond to life - to feel in our body what feels right and wrong. This takes courage because it leads us into the unknown. Most people stay in "false security" instead.Want vs. NeedOur "wants" come from ego. Our "needs" come from our body, our soul, our inner knowing. Distinguishing between them helps us access what's truly aligned.The Body IS the SubconsciousBrownell's biggest wisdom: Name your body and communicate with it as a separate identity.

In this episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker is joined by Tena Cacic for a grounded, nuanced conversation on how early childhood attachment experiences shape adult identity, performance roles, and dissociative coping patterns—especially within helping and therapeutic professions.Together, they explore how achievement, productivity, and over-functioning can quietly become protective strategies rooted in early relational environments. Rather than framing these patterns as pathology, the conversation examines them as adaptive responses that can later harden into identity, limiting flexibility, relational attunement, and therapeutic presence.Throughout the episode, Jeffrey and Tena differentiate somatic signals from narrative overlays, highlight the risks of epistemic and spiritual flattening, and unpack how unresolved practitioner patterns—such as rescuing, serial fixing, and over-responsibility—can subtly shape client dynamics.This episode is particularly relevant for clinicians, coaches, and educators seeking to deepen their awareness of counter-transference, performance-based identity, dissociative bypassing, and capacity-building without collapsing complexity or bypassing discomfort.Timestamps00:00 — Episode framing• Introducing the focus on early attachment, identity, and therapeutic relevance04:30 — Lived experience and trauma awareness• Tena shares personal experiences that shaped her understanding of helplessness, control, and internal role shifts10:15 — Victim–rescuer–persecutor dynamics• How early relational patterns evolve into adult performance and protection roles15:45 — Childhood development and pre-verbal imprinting• Why somatic cues precede cognition and narrative meaning-making21:30 — Over-responsibility in therapeutic roles• The subtle line between holding space and over-functioning for clients27:00 — Somatic signals vs. belief systems• Distinguishing embodied emotional intensity from post-hoc interpretation33:30 — Cultural conditioning and vulnerability• How inherited narratives shape children's sense of threat, safety, and capacity39:30 — Performance, flow, and bypassing• When calm, productivity, or “peace” becomes another form of avoidance45:30 — Identity rewards and letting go of the story• How suffering, competence, and achievement can become sublimated anchors52:30 — Nervous system regulation and productivity• Reframing performance without dissociation or over-control59:00 — Closing reflections• Relational attunement, differentiation, and building adaptive capacity over identity rigidityCreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Tena CacicExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Which animals were allowed to be sacrificed altogether? Male, female, blemishes and not, etc. But what about a treyfa (an animal that was going to die within the year)? Plus, the Gemara probes the implications from this status to the animals that boarded Noah's ark. Distinguishing between "clean" and "unclean" animals may have been unclear before the giving of the Torah, but they could derive which animals were kosher and not by virtue of how many of each was saved on the ark (7 for the kosher animals, even if they didn't yet know that they would be "kosher" animals). Also, the Gemara eases into halakhot about non-Jews bringing offerings outside of the Temple, and on private altars that were not acceptable for the Jews (at that time). Plus, the possibility of lacunae in the biblical verses cited by the Gemara. And the Jews could advise the non-Jews as to how to make the offerings, but not do it themselves.

When we started this Podcast back in August 2022, we, Calum and David, announced the theme to be “Anticipating and managing exponential impact”. We talked about three sub-themes: Developing the skills of exponential foresight; Distinguishing between scenarios, whether they were plausible or implausible, and whether they were desirable or undesirable; and thirdly, Supporting the community of collaborative exponential foresight. 126 episodes later, as we reach the transition between 2025 and 2026, it's a good time for the two of us to take stock.Accordingly, in this episode, we each pick out a number of events from the last 12 months which we see as potential signals of larger exponential impact ahead.Selected follow-ups:An MIT report that 95% of AI pilots fail spooked investors - by Jeremy KahnThe Shape of AI: Jaggedness, Bottlenecks and Salients - by Ethan MollickThe Road To Superintelligence - by CalumAI Doomers, Accelerationists & Scouts - Digital DisruptionThe Economic Singularity - book by CalumHow can better foresight actually improve the world? - Webinar in the series "From forecasts to levers"Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign - AnthropicMajor Neuromorphic Computing projects - listed by ConsciumWhy AI Agent Verification Is A Critical Industry - by CalumClimate change and populism: Grounds for optimism? - LFP episode with Matt BurgessWhat's Our Problem? - book by Tim UrbanOpenAI and Retro Biosciences achieve 50x increase in expressing stem cell reprogramming markersProgress at LEVF, December 2025 - by DavidUK BiobankThe THRIVE Act - Regenerative Medicine FoundationMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationC-Suite PerspectivesElevate how you lead with insight from today's most influential executives.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Summary  In part two of this conversation, Wade and Suzanne White pull back the curtain on how commercial property and casualty insurance actually works behind the scenes. They explore premium financing, non-standard policies, minimum earned premiums, and the hidden costs many business owners unknowingly accept just to stay insured. Suzanne explains how a lack of liquidity forces reactive decisions, while intentional cash strategy creates flexibility, leverage, and control. This episode bridges commercial insurance planning with smarter capital management and Infinite Banking principles, showing how business owners can reduce friction, improve efficiency, and stop leaking dollars over time. If you want a clearer understanding of how insurance, liquidity, and long-term wealth strategy work together, this episode delivers the practical insight.  Episode Highlights 00:00:38 - Impact of COVID on businesses. 00:02:12 - Insurance challenges during COVID pandemic. 00:04:50 - Holistic approach to client financial strategies. 00:07:04 - Introduction to Boss Financial Group. 00:07:52 - Unique offering: Financial Foursquare system. 00:08:52 - Clarity and communication build trust. 00:09:31 - Importance of financial education. 00:10:32 - Leveraging team expertise for freedom. 00:12:54 - Role of comprehensive business valuation. 00:15:11-  Distinguishing price from value in insurance.   Episode Resources sagewealthstrategy.com https://theinsboss.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFjV_yhiO4   Keywords Wade Borth podcast   financial partners   collaboration   Suzanne White   financial team   multiple use of dollars   COVID impact   business preparedness   insurance coverage   SBA links   financial planning   property and casualty   nonprofits   Financial Foursquare   business owner solution strategies   BOSS Financial Group   asset protection   business valuation   leverage   advisor expertise   commission-based services   commercial property and casualty   relationship business   financial clarity   business legacy   trust in advisors

Conflict, suffering, and global instability aren't framed as failures of the system here, they're revealed as catalysts for awakening, testing whether we respond with fear or clarity.We also address why spiritual bypassing keeps people stuck, how vulnerability functions as a stabilizing force rather than a weakness, and why embodiment — not dissociation — is required for real spiritual maturity.If you've felt unsure how to stay grounded, this episode offers clarity.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:22] What vulnerability reveals about transformation in the present[08:44] Alec's dream about his grandfather revealed the movement from 3rd to 4th density consciousness[15:19] The Buddha in Red Face story[21:11] Integrating masculine and feminine energies increases the strength of both rather than diminishing either[32:52] When Edmund discovered The Law of One[42:53] The eight densities of consciousness [53:01] Practicing love during division without falling into spiritual bypassing[01:10:01] Why those in service to self are actually serving us by offering opportunities to choose love[01:20:05] How the veil of forgetting and free will allow us to remember our true nature as creators[01:43:58] Distinguishing your own essence from external noise through stillness and Steiner's practices[01:57:35] Why true forgiveness becomes unnecessary when we understand our projections[02:17:16] Why we cannot return to tribal ways and must move forward with new forms of conscious community[02:39:30] What the Germanic and Slavic epochs reveal about humanity's progression from individual thinking to soul-warmed communityRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Beyond Verbal Autists, Telepathy & The Nature Of Thought with Melissa Jolly Graves | YouTubeSoulstice Magic, 13 Holy Nights & Neurogenic Qigong featuring Lara Day | YouTubeMemoirs of a Child Sex Slave: Quest For Love featuring Anneke Lucas | YoutubeResources Mentioned:Law of One | WebsiteBe Here Farm + Nature | WebsiteBeing Human Event | WebsiteBuddha in Redface by Eduardo Duran | BookTranscendent Sex by Jenny Wade | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookMutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan | Book or AudiobookClick here to enroll in the 2026 season of Being Human.

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Tony Avila for a detailed discussion on the evolution of residential land development and homebuilding finance. Tony walks through his multi-decade career, from early exposure to real estate and investment banking to building platforms focused on capital solutions for developers and regional homebuilders. The conversation explores how institutional capital, regulatory shifts, and interest rate cycles have reshaped the housing ecosystem, and why today's environment presents a distinct opportunity in land and construction lending. Together, they break down the mechanics behind land development loans, underwriting discipline, and the structural gaps left by traditional banks. They discuss: • Tony Avila's career path through real estate workouts, investment banking, and homebuilding M&A • The institutionalization of homebuilding and the role of public markets and consolidation • Distressed land and development opportunities following the financial crisis • Why banks have pulled back from land and construction lending and how private capital is filling the gap • The fundamentals of land development loans, underwriting risk, and housing affordability Links: Tony on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-avila-8879487/ Avila Real Estate Capital - https://www.avilacapllc.com/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:41) - Tony Avila's background and career (00:06:03) - The evolution of home building and institutionalization (00:08:46) - Mergers, acquisitions, and public listings (00:12:39) - Encore and distressed market opportunities (00:17:41) - Pivoting strategies in a changing market (00:20:01) - Current business structure and focus (00:24:58) - Understanding the fundamentals and opportunities (00:27:14) - Understanding land development loans (00:28:54) - Key considerations for land loans (00:30:43) - Distinguishing developers from builders (00:32:21) - Funding and underwriting strategies (00:39:35) - Navigating institutional capital (00:48:55) - Addressing housing affordability (00:53:16) - Conclusion and contact information

Mid-career partners can begin quietly wondering whether they should stay where they are or explore a move. This isn't driven by crisis or failure. It's driven by subtle shifts, such as declining energy for a platform that once fit well, strategy drift inside the firm, client relationships that feel different, or internal politics that have grown wearisome. Yet most partners stall making a decision because they don't want to make the wrong call and the ambiguity keeps them stuck. In today's episode, I walk through the five stages I see that partners typically move through when confronting the stay-or-go question: detecting early signals without overreacting, running a true cost-benefit audit, separating fact from extreme thinking about portability, pressure-testing the market and assumptions, and exploring parallel stay and go plans.  I share the specific diagnostics I suggest partners consider, the risks partners often underestimate, the structural problems that rarely improve with time v. the irritations that can usually be changed, and how to evaluate the potential options through financial, client-continuity, and cultural-stability filters. If you're a partner feeling the need to examine your place in your practice or platform, this episode helps you approach that crossroads with clarity, data, and control. At a Glance 00:00 Why mid-career partners begin questioning whether to stay or go 02:44 Stage 1: Quiet doubt and the early signals partners tend to overlook 03:54 A three-question diagnostic for evaluating how to initially frame what may be going on  05:39 Stage 2: The cost-benefit audit and quantifying what staying v. going actually buys you 07:18 How politics, write-offs, and strategic stagnation erode partner value 08:42 Distinguishing temporary irritations from structural misalignment 10:10 Stage 3: Counterfactuals and why partners get stuck in best-case and worst-case assumptions 10:55 Reality-checking which clients would follow you and which would not 11:24 How to quietly stress-test the market without signaling intent 12:37 Stage 4: The real risks of leaving: portability, client transfer, compensation, and culture 14:19 Identifying what must change for you to stay, and how to design parallel stay and go plans 15:35 The three filters for evaluating any move: financial survivability, client continuity, and cultural stability 16:25 Stage 5: Why this decision can feel like an identity crisis and how to regain agency Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

Bill Roggio analyzes the ISIS allegiance of Australian shooters, distinguishing ISIS's immediate caliphate goals from Al-Qaeda's patient state-building. He warns that while Al-Qaeda focuses on consolidating control in places like Somalia(Al-Shabaab), they remain a potent global threat capable of launching external attacks when strategically advantageous. 1842 Afghanistan

Why do the smallest disagreements with loved ones sometimes feel like the fiercest battles? Conflict in relationships often spirals into unproductive cycles of attack and defense, leaving us stuck, misunderstood, and further apart from the connection we crave. We rush to defend, strategize, and fix—yet rarely pause long enough to truly understand what matters beneath the surface. In this episode, listeners are invited to explore powerful strategies for breaking the cycle of reactivity and shifting attention toward curiosity, clarity, and genuine understanding. Through personal stories, actionable principles, and practical guidance, the conversation uncovers how paying attention to our underlying needs, emotions, interests, and habitual responses can foster a more constructive, compassionate, and collaborative approach to navigating conflict. By learning to differentiate between strategies and the needs they serve, listeners gain the tools to create meaningful change, deepen intimacy, and transform even the stickiest conflicts into opportunities for growth. Dana Caspersen is a conflict engagement specialist, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and award-winning performing artist. She works with individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide as a trainer, coach, consultant, and dialogue designer. Drawing on the knowledge and insight gained from her experience as a mediator and conflict analyst and her 40-year career as a performing arts innovator, Dana empowers people and organizations to navigate complex and challenging situations. Conflict Is an Opportunity is her newest book.   Episode Highlights 04:22 How our bodies react and impact communication. 09:25 Moving from attack-defense to understanding in conflict. 13:22 The impact of unmet needs in relationship conflict. 14:22 Distinguishing needs, emotions, interests, and strategies. 18:16 Creating a supportive relationship culture for navigating conflict. 23:15 The importance of internal clarification before addressing issues. 24:50 Practicing curiosity and validation during difficult interactions. 28:35 Managing communication triggers and acknowledging emotions. 33:32 Intentional connection and embodied curiosity in conflict resolution. 36:07 Safety, attachment, and speaking from interests instead of vulnerabilities. 38:06 Conscious decision-making and the role of requests in conflict. 42:46 Applying conflict skills across all relationships and areas of life.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Before addressing conflict, take a moment to breathe, relax, and bring your attention inward so you can respond rather than react. Pay attention to your body's stress signals—like a tight neck or jaw—and consciously shift to a more open, relaxed posture to support curiosity and connection. Redirect your attention away from attack and defense; instead, get genuinely curious about what your partner is feeling and what matters to them. Start conversations by acknowledging your partner's feelings and concerns to disarm defensiveness and open up constructive dialogue. Recognize that requests or strategies (like asking your partner to be home by 8) often mask deeper needs (such as intimacy or security), and talk about those underlying needs instead. Approach your partner with open-ended requests rather than demands, creating space for true dialogue and collaboration. Use your emotions as a clue to uncover your real needs and interests, then express those clearly and kindly to your partner. Expect that conflict will arise and discuss with your partner how you'll address it—having a shared mindset helps you get back on track when things get heated.   Mentioned Conflict Is an Opportunity (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Changing the Conversation: The 17 Principles of Conflict Resolution (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Conflict is a place of possibility (TedX Talks) (YouTube link) (video) Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are (TED) (YouTube link) (video) Gottman Institute Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (*Psychology Today) (link) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dana Caspersen Website: danacaspersen.com Facebook: facebook.com/DanaCaspersen Instagram: instagram.com/dcaspersen LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dana-caspersen  

Religious freedom, especially for Christians, is under attack across the globe, including in the West–including right here in the United States. Whether insidiously in the form of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that block Christians from employment and advancement opportunities, or, overtly, like vandalism against churches, or, in some parts of the world, murderous violence against Christians themselves, in terms of sheer numbers–and this fact is often ignored–Christians are, by far, the most persecuted religious group in the world. While defending religious freedom is important for people of all faiths, or no faith at all, it is thus especially urgent for believers in Christ. How, then, can we work together as a church and as a society to make progress on this front? Taking a step back, what, specifically, is religious freedom and why is it a universal human right? What is the relationship between the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech? And how can we respond to the secular charge that religious freedom is merely a backdoor means for the faithful to impose their beliefs on others? A listener asks how we can grow in confidence that Catholicism is the one true religion.

Welcome to Day 2731 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2731– A Discerning Life – Distinguishing Truth from Error – 1 John 4:1-6 Putnam Church Message – 10/12/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “Distinguishing Truth from Error "   Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Not Like Cain, But Like Christ!" This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have “Distinguishing Truth from Error” from 1 John 4:1-6 from the NIV, which is found on page 1902 of your Pew Bibles. Discerning False Prophets 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ>has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. Opening Prayer Some statements of Scripture haunt us. If we were to dwell on them too long, meditate on them too deeply, or obsess over them too frequently, they would keep us awake at night. It is much like most news sources and social media posts. We must determine truth from error. They warn of impending trouble for believers and alarming developments for the church. The following passages together paint a pretty bleak picture of the deteriorating world around us: “You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.” ( 24:9) “And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.” ( 24:11) “Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.” ( 24:12) “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.” ( 24:24) “The time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.” (John 16:2) “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John...

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Build a Better Agency! Host Drew McLellan sits down with Robin Bonn, agency veteran and founder of Codefinery, for a candid conversation that tackles one of the agency world's biggest challenges: true differentiation. Drawing on over two decades of industry experience and insights from his new book, Market of One, Robin unpacks why even the most creative agencies struggle to set themselves apart and how owners can reimagine their businesses for lasting competitive advantage. Drew and Robin delve deep into the heart of agency positioning, debunking the myths and tired tropes that so many firms rely on to claim they're "different." From generic claims about people and creativity to the pitfalls of "category norms," Robin shares why most agencies' attempts at standing out fall flat—and what it really means to create a business model that's as unique as a fingerprint. Listeners will hear practical advice for moving beyond superficial branding tactics and start building what Robin calls a "market of one"—where your agency's true value is clear, tangible, and uncopyable. The episode also explores the often-overlooked role of pricing as a key differentiator, the pervasive fear and herd mentality that keep agencies stuck, and the transformative impact of AI on agency business models. Robin challenges listeners to rethink everything from service offerings to client fit—encouraging leaders to embrace strategy, redefine success beyond just growth, and make bold choices that align with both financial health and personal fulfillment.   Tune in if you're ready to move past the sea of sameness and face the future with optimism and intention. By the end of the episode, you'll walk away with actionable questions, a fresh strategic lens, and the inspiration to reshape not just what your agency does, but how—and why—you do it.   A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Pope Leo XIV has recently formally declared St. John Henry Newman—who was canonized only in 2019 by Pope Francis—a doctor of the Catholic Church, a recognition given only to 37 other saints in Catholicism's over 2000 year history. This places Newman among great figures like St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Theresa de Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna, and the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. What is the significance of giving St. John Henry Newman—an Englishman and Anglican convert to Catholicism who was born over 200 years ago—this title? What is it about Newman's approach to communicating the faith that earned him this great honor—and why now?  Equally important, how can contemporary evangelists draw inspiration from his work to proclaim the Gospel in a drastically different world, religiously and morally, from Newman's 19th century Victorian England? A listener asks for advice on how to give better homilies at Mass. 00:00 | Introduction 01:26 | Bishop Barron's recent domestic travels 03:20 | Defining "Doctor of the Church" 04:55 | Distinguishing doctors from saints 05:50 | John Henry Newman's brief biography 12:18 | Understanding the development of doctrine 17:41 | Safeguards against corruption 22:33 | The wholeness of the truth 25:34 | Newman: "To live is to change" 29:28 | The "illative sense" of the mind's assent to propositions 34:10 | Difficulties vs. doubt 35:54 | How Newman speaks to England now 37:55 | Listener question: How can priests improve preparation for homilies? 39:58 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!
