Podcasts about distractions

Marine Raider and combat vet Nick Koumalatsos breaks down the current U.S. strikes in Iran and answers the hard question: are these precision attacks the opening moves of a real regime-change campaign, or just the latest massive distraction timed perfectly with the Epstein file drops and the sudden mainstream “aliens are real” push? We dig into the first torpedo sinking of an enemy ship since World War II, the recurring accusations of Israeli influence, and whether America is once again being played as a proxy in someone else's game—while the bigger upstream truths stay buried.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Psalm 131:2; 1 Peter 4:7, Colossians 4:2Speaker: Jim AngehrSeries: "When Prayer Is a Struggle"     

Consciousness is the experiencer of all things, and spiritual growth means realizing you are that consciousness, not what you are conscious of. When our awareness is consistently distracted by objects, be they outside or in, we begin to identify with them, which creates lasting inner impressions. From these, we form the ego with its constant attempts to control life. Liberation comes through inwardly relaxing, letting go, and remaining in witness consciousness, allowing stored disturbances to dissolve and restoring us to the natural state of freedom and oneness. © Sounds True Inc.

We all have things we struggle to say no to—habits, cravings, distractions that promise satisfaction but leave us feeling stuck. But when we start saying “no” to the things pulling us away from God, we create space to say “yes” to the life he wants for us.

In this episode, Swamiji narrates a touching story that reveals how God's grace and presence manifest in the lives of devotees in the most unexpected ways. He explains that Krishna is not bound by logic or human calculation; He responds to the sincerity of love and devotion.  Swamiji highlights that true love for God is selfless, unconditional, and free from demands. When the heart is filled with pure devotion, Krishna Himself appears — sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes in miraculous ones — to reassure the devotee of His eternal companionship.  Through the Radha‑Krishna story, Swamiji illustrates that God's love is greater than the soul's longing. Even when seekers feel distant or unworthy, Krishna finds ways to reach them, reminding us that divine grace is ever‑present.  This teaching matters because it inspires seekers to cultivate pure devotion without expectation. By surrendering with love, we discover that Krishna's presence is not a distant ideal but a living reality that uplifts, protects, and transforms our lives.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.  Link to the playlist: Bhagavad Gita for everyday living By Swami Mukundananda

Mike gets asked to read a lot of books about sales and sales management. Most recently, he read Focused – from his Canadian buddy, sales management expert, and former fantasy football adversary, Steve Rosen. Mike was so blown away that he actually asked Steve if he could provide the foreword and help promote the book. Truly, it was that good. So good, in fact, that this was Mike's visceral reaction… The Bold Statement (from Mike's foreword):  FOCUSED is the single best and most helpful book for sales leaders to be published in years! If you lead a sales team, or lead leaders of sales teams, the introduction to this book will take your breath away. It will stop you in your tracks.  I am serious: Do NOT read FOCUSED unless you are ready to be smacked in the face with the cold, hard truth and willing to address what is arguably the biggest challenge in sales today. Truly, by page 2 my chest tightened as the all-too-real scenarios described by Rosen perfectly depicted exactly what I see every. single. day. in companies where I speak, train, consult and coach. The Big Issue:  Sales managers live in reactive mode, often overwhelmed, and are regularly distracted and diverted from their highest-payoff activities. Rosen not only calls it out, but provides practical help for overcoming this massive challenge. Enjoy this engaging conversation between Steve and Mike. But beware, if you lead a sales team, it may cause you to laugh, cry, or scream.  Be sure to grab the free copy of the Foreword, Table of Contents, and the Introduction that Mike mentions in the episode!

Don sits down with attorney and legal analyst Dina Doll to unpack the latest developments in the escalating war and the disturbing reports of atrocities emerging from the conflict. As the human cost grows, Don and Dina examine the legal and political implications and why so many Americans feel the administration's shifting explanations simply don't add up. They also discuss the growing belief that the sudden escalation overseas is serving as a convenient distraction from the unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein files. Most importantly, Don and Dina break down why accountability matters now more than ever and what it will take to hold lawmakers responsible for misleading the public.

What if the things you're most proud of… are actually keeping you stuck? In this episode of Love Yourself Thin, Dara explores the concept of acceptable buffering—the socially praised habits we use to avoid uncomfortable emotions. While many people think buffering only looks like scrolling social media or overeating, it can also show up as being the perfect wife, devoted mother, high achiever, or tireless homemaker. These behaviors may look admirable on the outside, but they can quietly drain your energy and distract you from the deeper emotional work that leads to permanent weight loss. Dara shares a powerful coaching story from inside her program that reveals how childhood patterns of seeking approval can shape the way we show up as adults. When we spend our lives trying to prove our worth through productivity, success, or caretaking, we often ignore the emotions underneath—and turn to food or other distractions to cope. Instead of another diet or stricter willpower, Dara invites you to look inward and ask a deeper question: What emotions am I avoiding, and how am I buffering them? When you begin to notice these patterns with compassion and curiosity, real transformation becomes possible. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What buffering really means and why it's more than just emotional eating How "acceptable" behaviors like overworking or people-pleasing can hide deeper struggles Why traditional diets fail to address the emotional roots of weight challenges How childhood approval patterns can influence your relationship with food and self-worth A simple daily exercise to help you identify where your time, energy, and mental focus are going Key Takeaway Permanent weight loss doesn't come from stricter rules around food—it comes from understanding your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. When you stop buffering and start processing your feelings with compassion, you gain the clarity and freedom needed to change your habits for good. A Simple Practice to Try For one day, take a daily inventory of your thoughts and energy: What are you spending your time thinking about? Where is your mental energy going? Are you trying to prove your worth, or are you caring for yourself? This awareness can reveal the hidden habits that are quietly influencing your health and your relationship with food.   If this episode resonated with you, consider exploring deeper support and tools through Dara's coaching programs, where you'll learn how to build healthier emotional patterns and create lasting change.

Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Zelana Montminy, who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. Dr. Montminy developed her career speaking for and advising Fortune 500 companies and academic institutions. She regularly appears on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Access Hollywood.  In our conversation, we unpack the concept of novelty bias, exploring how it shapes our neuroanatomy and compromises our conscientiousness. We debunk the myths of multitasking and task switching, and dive into generational shifts and our disconnection from ourselves and the world around us. We also highlight the vital role of the gut-brain connection, share practical social tools such as the Pomodoro Technique, and examine the transformative power of curiosity and awe.  This discussion with Dr. Zelana Montminy is an exciting and forward-thinking exploration of how our brains and bodies are programmed for distraction. Her book, Finding Focus, also offers a compelling narrative to help us get back on track. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What is novelty bias?  How technology impacts our mental health and ability to empathize in the long term  Why are we seeing a loss of conscientiousness in the younger generations, and why do older generations tend to feel and process things more intensely? How constant exposure to technology affects the ability of the brain to process information  Generational differences in information processing The detrimental effects of multitasking on productivity and focusing ability, and the benefits of single-tasking and staying in the present moment How being in a constant state of fight or flight dysregulates the nervous system  The importance of nutrition, sleep, and hydration for mental health Tools and strategies to boost your ability to focus  The value of curiosity for problem-solving, resilience, and health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Your team relies on you. Your family relies on you. But somewhere in the middle of all that responsibility, it becomes easy to ignore what is happening in your own life.Dr. MacCarthy speaks directly to the emotional weight many doctors and dentists carry and why high performers often distract themselves from uncomfortable truths that need attention.

Oops… he did it again. This week on The Trawl, Jemma and Marina are trying to keep up with a news cycle that's moving faster than the White House can change its story about why it just started another war. Is it about nuclear weapons? Oil? Israel? Distraction? Take your pick, the explanation seems to change by the hour.But first, after a weekend of International Women's Day posts (and the faint whiff of matriarchy trending), the pair look at the women who've decided the best career move is enthusiastically propping up the patriarchy.

We here at Good Enough Gaming are always wondering what happens in board room meetings at these large companies and how certain decisions are made. The ongoing conclusions are that these people should include us in their meetings so that they might make some decisions that actually benefit gamers and consumers and not just the investors. But before we get on a huge rant about corporate greed, lets discuss what this is really about, and that is the rise of another extraction shooter game coming from the esteemed Bungie studios in Marathon. Will this game meet expectations and thrive, or is this another game that will succumb to the demise if others like it competing for a market that might not accept it at all. This should get explosive, a little soapboxy, and probably full of us making fun of certain games that have flopped horribly in the last few years. Welcome to the sh*tshow!

In this episode, John Fugelsang dives into the complexities of current geopolitical tensions, focusing on the recent military actions in Iran and the implications for the United States. Joined by Professor Corey Brettschneider and comedian Rhonda Hanson, the discussion explores the political landscape, the role of billionaires in campaign financing, and the consequences of foreign policy decisions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to The Ripple Effect Podcast. Today, you're getting a conversation that hits where it counts. Barbara Burgess joins us for a powerful interview that goes way beyond career talk and straight into what it really takes to move from corporate America to entrepreneurship. Barbara Burgess is an author, mother, executive, and unapologetic dark-chocolate lover who's embraced the beautiful messiness of life. She founded Corluma (cor = heart, luma = light), a Chicago-based consulting firm; wrote and performed a one-woman show, "The Extraordinary Experience of Being Ordinary"; and most recently wrote her first book, Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations. Known for her humor, vulnerability, and practical wisdom, Barbara shares simple shifts to help people remember they are enough and have enough. Her ego is kept in healthy check by two teenage children and career adventures that include selling candy bars for Nestle Foods, launching Grainger into internet commerce, a brief marketing stint at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and, most recently, overseeing operations, marketing, and finances as the COO of a non-profit. Listen until the end because we get real about a lot of interesting topics. We talk about the difference between confidence and self-efficacy, why being an introvert can actually be an advantage in entrepreneurship, and how that "not enough" voice loves to show up when the world is screaming hustle, distraction, and expectations. We also go into executive coaching for tough leaders, what it looks like to face what isn't working without flinching, and the shift that happens when you start living by your own compass instead of somebody else's scoreboard. If any of that feels familiar, you're in the right place.

The Race | Running Faithfully for the King In this message, believers are reminded that the Christian life is not simply about personal success or comfort—it is about running the race God has placed before us and faithfully carrying the gospel to the next generation  The sermon begins with the idea that every generation is tempted to blame the one before it, yet God calls each generation to recognize that they are part of the same race. Like a relay runner receiving a baton, every believer has been entrusted with the message of the gospel that has been passed down through generations of faithful men and women. Drawing from Acts, Corinthians, Hebrews, and Paul's final words in 2 Timothy, the message emphasizes that life is an assignment from the King. The Apostle Paul modeled this perspective when he declared that trials, persecution, and hardship would not move him because his goal was to finish his race with joy and faithfully testify to the gospel of Christ. The sermon highlights the sacrifices made by those who came before us—many of whom endured persecution, suffering, and rejection while remaining faithful to God. Hebrews describes these believers as a “great cloud of witnesses,” reminding us that our race is connected to the faithfulness of generations before us and the responsibility to pass that faith on to those who come after. Believers are therefore called to lay aside every weight and sin that slows them down. Distractions, discouragement, wounds, and worldly influences can hinder spiritual progress, but followers of Christ must stay focused on the mission. Just as athletes discipline themselves to win a temporary prize, Christians are called to run with endurance for an eternal reward. The message also reminds believers that the greatest obstacle in the race is often our own will. Jesus Himself demonstrated the victory of surrender when He prayed in the garden, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Once Christ surrendered to the Father's will, the path to the cross—and ultimately salvation—was set. The sermon concludes with a challenge: every believer has been placed where they are for a purpose. Our lives are not random; they are part of God's plan. Like those who ran before us, we must stay committed to the race, live for the gospel, and faithfully hand the baton of faith to the next generation. Key Takeaway The Christian life is a race entrusted to each generation. By laying aside distractions, surrendering our will to God, and remaining faithful to the gospel, we run our race well and pass the faith on to those who follow.

Entrepreneurs don't suffer from a lack of information—they suffer from a lack of decisions. In this episode, Bob Stewart and Chad Hyams unpack why endless learning, planning, and consuming advice can quietly replace real progress. You'll learn how indecision disguises itself as preparation, why clarity requires commitment, and how making fewer, stronger decisions can accelerate momentum in your business and leadership. Sometimes the breakthrough isn't learning more—it's finally deciding. ---------- Connect with the hosts: •    Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ •    Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob •    Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ •    Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/   More ways to connect: •    Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive •     Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up •     Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/   Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network

"Without a life of prayer, you are really not living as a Catholic" - Matt Leonard   Summary What does it really mean to "go deeper" in prayer? And what if you pray every day but don't feel anything?  This week we're joined by Matthew Leonard, founder of The Science of Sainthood, to talk about what real spiritual growth looks like. We break down the three modes of prayer, vocal, meditation, and contemplation, and how they form a path to holiness. Matthew shares practical steps for building a daily habit of mental prayer, handling distractions, and creating space for silence. We also talk about how married couples can grow spiritually together without pressure or guilt.  If you've ever wondered whether you're making progress in your prayer life, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a clear next step.   Key Takeaways Prayer is essential, not optional.  Without prayer, we're not really living the fullness of Catholic life. A relationship with the Lord isn't an add-on. It's fundamental. There's a path to deeper prayer.  Vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation build on each other. Vocal prayer engages body and soul. Meditation is daily mental prayer and real conversation with God. Contemplation is a gift from God that we prepare for through faithfulness. "Feeling nothing" doesn't mean nothing is happening.  Distractions are normal. Lack of emotion isn't failure. Stay faithful, show up, and trust that God is at work beneath the surface.

Welcome back to another Soul Politics episode! In this series, host Ahna Hendrix and special guest Lauryn, The Practical Psychic, explore the spiritual architecture behind the world's biggest headlines, utilizing the Akashic Records, psychic mediumship, astrology & more to help you understand the deeper spiritual purpose behind these challenging times.This isn't your typical political commentary—it's a higher perspective on the collective awakening happening across America.In this episode, Lauren and I dive into three big topics that have been weighing heavily on our hearts and coming through in our spiritual work.First, we explore the game of distraction — how those in power are deliberately flooding us with noise, fear, and sensationalism to keep our attention away from the laws and systems being quietly put in place. We talk about how to stay informed without burning out, and why maintaining your own sovereign energy right now is one of the most powerful things you can do.Then we go deep on the relationship between the United States and Israel — what the Akashic Records reveal about the roots of this connection, how it has shaped U.S. politics across both parties, and the roles the main figures play in that dynamic. This is a nuanced conversation that is not about the Israeli people but about the governmental and financial ties that bind these two nations together.Finally, we discuss women's oppression in America — where it's headed, where it comes from, and what the Akashic Records shared about the ancient history of the matriarchy and how ancestral guilt has shaped women's relationship to power. We also talk about why demonizing men isn't the answer, and what true healing between the masculine and feminine might actually look like.As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. We're here to offer a higher spiritual perspective on the times we're living through — and to remind you that even in the chaos, there is hope.Enjoy this episode and let us know how it resonates with you!If you're ready to TRANSFORM your life, apply for Akashic Transformational Mentorship openings starting 3/1.

"Motivation is a triangle. It requires: Behavior: What am I going to do? Benefit: Why am I going to do it? Belief. If you don't have those three areas of your life in concert, all the advice in the world is going to go in one ear and out the other. Beliefs are tools, not truths. The majority of our problems today—cultural, geopolitical, personal—come from the fact that we think our faith is fact, and we confuse facts for what are beliefs. Everything worth having in life is on the other side of discomfort. So if you can learn to manage discomfort through the power of belief, what couldn't you accomplish? Everything." - Nir EyalFresh out of the studio, Nir Eyal, best-selling author of "Hooked," "Indistractable," and the forthcoming "Beyond Belief," joined us in a conversation to explore how deeply held beliefs quietly shape our attention, decisions, and success. Nir shared his personal origin story of childhood obesity that revealed how we escape uncomfortable feelings through habitual behaviors, and progressed through the Hook Model that democratized Silicon Valley's habit-formation secrets for building products like Duolingo and Fitbod. He unpacks the critical insight that the opposite of distraction isn't focus—it's traction—and introduces the Motivation Triangle framework explaining why knowing what to do isn't enough without belief. Throughout the conversation, Nir demonstrates how 90% of our distractions stem from internal triggers rather than technology itself, and challenges the moral panic around AI by drawing parallels to historical fears from the written word to social media. Last but not least, he argues that beliefs are tools, not truths, revealing how our hidden convictions fundamentally alter what we see, feel, and do—and provides a science-backed path for transforming limiting beliefs into liberating ones that unlock previously impossible performance.Episode Highlights[00:00] Quote of the Day by Nir Eyal[01:02] Introduction: Nir Eyal[04:45] Hook model democratizes habit-forming product secrets[06:42] Startups sell painkillers not vitamins[08:59] Traction versus distraction defines intentional living[10:24] Distraction is behavior not medical addiction[11:28] AI triggers predictable moral panic cycle[14:21] First generation without mass starvation faces excess[16:58] Hook model: trigger action reward investment[23:26] Persuasion helps people achieve their goals[29:39] Internal triggers cause ninety percent of distractions[32:36] Indistractable readers didn't implement the steps[34:46] Motivation triangle requires behavior benefit belief[36:19] Steve Jobs willed reality through liberating beliefs[43:43] Facts beliefs faith require intellectual humility[45:41] Beliefs are tools not truths[48:32] Beliefs reshape attention anticipation agency[51:30] ClosingProfile: Nir Eyal, author of "Beyond Belief", "Indistractable" and "Hooked"Main Site: https://www.nirandfar.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nireyal/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down the Trump administration's military action against Iran and the political and religious rhetoric surrounding the conflict. They examine the contradictions in Republican messaging, with some officials describing the action as a war while others insist it is not. Brad and Dan also discuss the lack of a clear public justification similar to what preceded previous conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan, the internal divisions within the MAGA coalition over foreign intervention, and the growing criticism coming from prominent conservative voices. The conversation also explores how Christian nationalist rhetoric is being used to frame the conflict, with several political and religious leaders describing the situation in explicitly religious terms or invoking biblical responsibility toward Israel. Brad and Dan contrast these narratives with dissenting voices within conservative and Catholic circles who oppose military escalation. The episode also turns to the Texas primary results, including James Talarico winning the Democratic Senate nomination, record Democratic turnout, and the high profile Republican runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Together, these developments highlight ongoing fractures within the Republican coalition and shifting political dynamics heading into the next election cycle.

Well, another republican president has started another war in the middle east.  Or maybe it was Israel?  No story told in public regarding this "special military operation" (this is what you are required to call it unless you're the mad king or his drunken secretary of war) makes much sense.  So what do we know for certain?  There's a lot of aerial bombing/strikes and it's all extremely expensive.At least the department of homeland security is doing a horrible job....yeah, I said it.Stay safe, stay strong,-T

Trump just launched an unconstitutional war with Iran without Congressional approval—and Peter breaks down the real reasons behind it, from economic distraction to the military-industrial complex profits, plus why this could trigger massive inflation and destroy your purchasing power.This episode is sponsored by Odoo. Sign up for free at https://www.odoo.com/r/iznkPeter Schiff strongly condemns Trump's declaration of war against Iran as unconstitutional, arguing that only Congress has the power to declare war under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Schiff believes Trump violated his oath of office and campaign promises to end wars, not start them. He suspects the real catalyst was Israel informing Trump of their planned attack on Iran, forcing America's hand to join preemptively rather than wait for Iranian retaliation. Schiff questions Trump's claim that he had intelligence suggesting Iran would attack first, calling it implausible and likely fabricated to justify the unconstitutional military action.Despite opposing the war on constitutional and strategic grounds, Schiff sees it as bullish for gold and silver due to its inflationary impact, as wars are typically funded through money printing rather than tax increases. He views recent pullbacks in precious metals and mining stocks as buying opportunities, noting that gold held above $5,000 despite heavy selling. Schiff warns that this war will worsen an already deteriorating economy through higher oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased government spending, while potentially serving as a convenient distraction from Trump's failing economic agenda and recent controversies like the Epstein files.Chapters:00:55 War With Iran Begins03:41 Constitutional War Powers08:48 War Powers Act Explained12:00 From Strike To Regime Change14:00 No Surprise Argument15:57 Regime Change Risks21:03 Iraq WMD Lies23:08 Israel Rubio Timeline25:45 Trump Preemptive Claim29:07 Demand The Intelligence29:25 War Justification Doubts31:02 Broken Promises Fallout32:32 Regime Change Quagmire33:30 Distraction and Scapegoats35:51 Wag the Dog Headlines37:31 Rally Round the Flag40:23 War Hits Economy and Oil43:22 Markets Shrug Then React47:36 Gold Selloff Explained49:28 Wars Paid by Inflation53:19 Buy the Dip Strategy55:31 Wrap Up and Next UpdateFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/newsFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/books#Finance #GeopoliticalCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Comparison can quietly destroy your life. Most of us default to upward comparison… we fixate on what everyone else has that we don't. And we rarely do the opposite - noticing what we've built, what we've survived, and what other people would trade places with us for in a second.That's why you can feel behind even when you're not. You end up measuring your life with a broken ruler...curated highlights, imaginary timelines, and a brain that's wired to obsess over what's missing. Comparison keeps you stuck.In this episode, I'm joined by Greg Everett, coach, author, and founder of Catalyst Athletics, to unpack why comparison is dangerous, how social media amplifies it, and how money and “success metrics” can quietly hijack your self-worth. We also talk about what to do when you genuinely feel lost or behind, including building a personal “touchstone” to measure real progress, using journaling to clear the mental noise, and creating intentional quiet time so your mind can actually reset.This episode will help you change your life by helping you to stop comparing yourself to others.Greg Everett is a coach, author, and the founder of Catalyst Athletics, known for his work in strength training and long-term athlete development.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(00:47) Why We Compare(01:39) Social Media Highlights Trap(04:03) Money and Self Worth(08:02) Work Hours and Meaning(11:15) Hustle Culture Burnout(12:52) Scams and False Promises(16:06) Building Sustainably(17:21) Authenticity Over Trends(23:55) Choose Your Exhaustion(24:58) No Finish Line(26:41) Hard Truths of Self-Examination(27:39) Finding Your Touchstone(29:22) Overstimulation and Distraction(35:05) Dopamine Withdrawal in Nature(38:39) Staying the Course When Behind(42:31) Journaling to Get Unstuck(46:53) Quiet Downtime for Clarity(49:11) Lessons From Career Detours(51:48) Advice to My 18-Year-Old Self(53:04) Where to Find Greg(53:48) Final ThanksGet the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here:go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Greg:Website: https://www.greg-everett.com/about/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catalystathletics/?hl=en Hosted on Acast.

Why do so many Christians start strong—only to slowly settle into comfort, distraction, and spiritual compromise? In today's MY Devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that believers are citizens of the City of God, living temporarily in the City of Man with a mission: to urge the lost to turn from sin and receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Yet many who once lived with heaven in view end up falling in love with the very world they were sent to reach. Dr. Youssef unpacks five reasons this spiritual drift happens—and how to guard your heart: A false view of heaven that makes eternity seem dull instead of glorious, Worldly pressures (pain, loss, responsibilities) that steal your focus, Living by sight, where the visible crowds out what's eternal, Muddled teaching that confuses self-sacrifice with self-satisfaction, False doctrine that blurs the Truth about salvation, heaven, and hell—draining urgency from the Christian race. This episode will help you regain eternal perspective, recognize subtle distractions, and live with a clear-eyed passion for Christ—serving faithfully now while remembering the better City that is to come. Scripture Focus: Hebrews 13:14 Go deeper: Dr. Youssef's sermon series Unholy Alliance of the Antichrist (Watch Now | Listen Now) The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

In this powerful livestream, Kara explores the intense global energy surrounding the March 3 total lunar eclipse and the 3:3 portal, and what it means for our collective consciousness. We are living through extraordinary times. From escalating conflict in the Middle East to widespread cultural and financial instability, many are feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or energetically destabilized. Kara shares reflections on eclipse season, prophetic cycles referenced across indigenous traditions and the Book of Revelation, and the deeper spiritual meaning behind systems appearing to crumble. Rather than remaining in consumer mode or getting lost in chaotic narratives, this episode invites you into conscious creatorship. You'll learn how to: • Understand eclipse energy and collective amplification • Recognize distraction cycles during times of systemic exposure • Align with the highest timeline for you and your family • Anchor 100% pure Source light into physical reality • Move from overwhelm into empowered conscious creation This is a reminder that you are not powerless. Your imagination, your intention, and your connection to higher consciousness are profound tools during times of transformation. As structures shift, we are called to soften the crown, open to divine guidance, and anchor light intentionally into this world. Join me in choosing the highest timeline.

Is the world on the brink of World War 3? Or is the escalating war with Iran—Operation Epic Fury—the most audacious political distraction in modern history? In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, we investigate the terrifying connection between the bombs dropping in the Middle East and the bombshell revelations from the Jeffrey Epstein files that are closing in on President Donald Trump. Just as the Department of Justice was caught red-handed hiding over 50 pages of FBI documents detailing sexual abuse allegations against Trump from the Epstein case, the world was plunged into a new war. Coincidence? Or a calculated “Wag the Dog” maneuver to save a presidency from a scandal that could unravel it all? We follow the smoking-gun timeline, connecting the dots between the DOJ cover-up and the unconstitutional, unauthorized war that has already left American soldiers dead. This is the episode the mainstream media is too afraid to make. We are not just discussing headlines; we are exposing a potential conspiracy that trades lives for silence. In this episode, we dissect: Operation Epic Fury: The truth behind the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. The DOJ Cover-Up: The bombshell NPR report that proves the government is hiding Trump-related Epstein files. The “Wag the Dog” Playbook: How starting a war is a classic tactic to distract from domestic scandal. The Smoking-Gun Timeline: A step-by-step breakdown of how the war started just 48 hours after the Epstein cover-up exploded. The Human Cost: The moral crisis of soldiers dying to bury a political scandal. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains frank discussions of child sexual abuse, military conflict, and political corruption that may be deeply disturbing to some listeners. Please take care of your mental and emotional health first. If you are ready to look past the headlines and question the official narrative, this episode is a must-listen.

The truth is our only weapon. #EpsteinWar #WW3 #TrumpIranWar #WagTheDog #DOJCoverUp #LifePointsWithRonda #WorldWar3 #OperationEpicFury #EpsteinFiles #PoliticalPodcast

You feel busy all day. You are posting, responding, planning, creating. Yet your business still feels slow and stagnant. You are doing everything and showing up everywhere, so why does it feel like nothing is truly moving? In this episode, I break down the real cost of constant distraction. It is not just stealing your time. It is draining your focus, your clarity, your consistency, and even your ability to hear God clearly. Distraction creeps in quietly through opportunities, notifications, responsibilities, and good ideas that pull you in every direction. Over time, this slows your growth. If you feel stretched between family, life, and business, this conversation will help you reset. You will learn how to return to a simple, grounded, and centered way of building. A way that is aligned and intentional. So you can move forward with focus rather than chaotic energy.

The latest "developments" in the Epstein saga make one thing clear: President Trump was completely correct that innocent people would be smeared by recklessly dumping files.
