"Business challenges don't always come in the form of major crises. Sometimes they show up as the small, everyday obstacles that feel overwhelming."In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession reflects on the power of prayer in navigating the day-to-day challenges of running a business. She shares a personal story of overcoming financial and technological struggles that seemed impossible to resolve on her own. Rather than relying solely on her own strength, Rebecca reveals how she learned to lean into faith, asking for divine guidance in even the smallest decisions, from accounting software to client meetings.Through her experiences, Rebecca discusses the concept of spiritual opposition and how it can feel like a sign that you're on the right path. She also highlights the importance of patience, trusting that God's timing and intervention will guide you to the right solutions. This episode offers practical advice for entrepreneurs who want to integrate faith into their work, reminding them that God is present in both the triumphs and the challenges.

Traditionally, many of us were led to believe that our brains reach a fixed state in adulthood, but recent scientific breakthroughs reveal an exciting reality: our brains are not hardwired and, instead, possess remarkable adaptability and the capacity to change throughout our lives. This understanding offers a sense of hope, empowering us to take charge of our mental wellness.I emphasize the importance of retraining our brains to navigate away from anxiety. To break free from the anxiety cycle, we must forge new neuropathways while simultaneously dismantling the old ones that tether us to fear. This process is not merely an academic exercise; it happens organically as our brains utilize the remnants of old pathways to build new connections. Thus, whether we consciously train our brains or not, change is inevitable, making it essential for us to guide that change purposefully.Mindfulness emerges as a cornerstone in this journey, enabling us to cultivate awareness and intentionality in our daily lives. I discuss the impactful role that mindfulness plays in breaking free from automatic responses, compelling us to engage more fully with our thoughts and experiences. By becoming vigilant about our mental habits, we create space for healthier, more peaceful thoughts to flourish. I draw an analogy of a rider managing a horse; just as the rider must train the horse to move in the desired direction, we must learn to direct our thoughts consciously to foster the change we seek.#anxiety, #neuroplasticity, #mentalhealth, #mindfulness, #anxietyrecovery, #brainhealth, #stressrelief, #wellness, #selfcare, #personalgrowth, #healing, #mindset, #calm, #podcast, #mentalwellness, #ginaryan, #anxietycoachespodcast, #brainplasticity, #overcominganxiety, #meditation, #intentionality, #selfhealing, #neuroscience, #mentalhealthmatters, #innerpeace, #journaling, #anxietysupport, #healthyliving, #positivity, #growthmindsetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this solo episode, I'm welcoming in 2026 with what feels like a deep exhale and a powerful reframe: this is the year of harvest. After years of shedding, refining, and staying faithful through seasons that didn't always make sense, I share why I believe this is the moment where the fruit of that work finally becomes visible. We talk about what harvest really means in leadership and business—not hustling harder, but refining, simplifying, and allowing what's already working to mature. I explore why misalignment often shows up right before expansion, how guilt can surface when you want to change what you once prayed for, and why less doesn't mean failure—it often means precision. I also walk you through the different ways you can work with me in 2026, from The Growth Collective to the Brand Accelerator, Revenue Accelerator, and my in-person UNSCRIPTED retreat.

Because sometimes that discomfort, sometimes that itchiness is just that growth edge. It's just you getting ready to leave this level of the base camp to a sin to another one, and most often something just isn't vibing with where you are anymore or with who you are anymore. And that's okay. That's not a crisis.

Persuasion isn't just for politicians and advertisers—it's a core nursing skill.In this episode of the Emory University series, host Melissa Mills sits down with Dr. Roxana Chicas, Dr. Sharron Close, and recent Emory School of Nursing graduate Sofi Igyan to explore how nurses can use the power of words to influence change from the bedside to the boardroom.Together, they unpack what persuasion really means in health care—how it differs from simple education, and why it's both an art and a science. You'll hear how strategies like knowing your audience, framing messages, leveraging the “power of three,” and using data and stories together can move patients, policymakers, and the public to action.The guests share real-world examples—from farmworker advocacy and climate health, to social media “nurse hacks,” to early-career experiences with therapeutic communication and mental health. They also dig into storytelling tools like the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the legacy of Cesar Chavez to show how narrative can humanize complex issues, build empathy, and shift policy.Whether you're a new graduate nurse, bedside nurse, educator, or emerging nurse leader, this episode will help you:Claim your voice as a communicator and advocateUse persuasion ethically and effectivelyTurn everyday conversations into opportunities for impactListen in and rediscover your words as one of the most powerful tools you have as a nurse.>>Unlocking the Power of Persuasion in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:39] Persuasion in nursing communication.

Ed Oyama used to hate being on camera. Twenty years ago, he had a blast editing videos for his church's college group - but he couldn't talk on camera to save his life! But one day he tried something different. He stopped chasing perfection and simply showed up - walking and talking with his phone, sharing what he knew. And in just over a year, he 4x'd his LinkedIn following, 60x'd his YouTube audience, booked 40+ calls and closed over $10k in new business… all by making simple videos. Now, Ed teaches others to do the same in his Small Business Video School, where in the last two months students have made over 314 videos and started booking in leads and clients!

Caitlin here with a solo episode recapping 2025 and chatting about my hopes and dreams for 2026!Biggest takeaways from this episode: Be where your feet are: presence creates deeper impact than constantly chasing what's next. Consistency beats intensity: small, sustainable routines done regularly matter far more than big, all-or-nothing efforts. There is no finish line: healing, growth, and goals are lifelong, not problems to “solve” once and move on. Understanding your body changes everything: what works for others may not work for you - learn how your body works and advocate for yourself. Impact doesn't have to be global to be meaningful: work in your local community can be just as powerful than scaling bigger and faster.Tune in to hear how I came to these realizations in 2025, and what I'm doing with that information as we head into 2026!Episodes mentioned:33. 2024 Year in Review and Embracing the Gray Area in 202567.

What if your New Year's resolutions weren't about losing weight or getting organized, but about becoming more curious, humble, and creative? Kelly reflects on why these three traits matter and how they're connected—curiosity as genuinely wondering instead of rushing to conclusions, humility as recognizing there's always more to learn and some things we'll never understand, and creativity as problem-solving with whatever you have in front of you. It's about resolutions that actually lay the groundwork for better days, better relationships, and better work. Check out our new 6-part series called Super Traits, made possible by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. The first episode airs Jan 6th, 2026 and is Kelly's interview with NBA coach Steve Kerr on the topic of humility .

“Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, ‘If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.’” (Mark 8:34 NLT) The cross isn’t something to take lightly, even in casual conversation. Sometimes people say, “We all have our crosses to bear,” or “My cross is my supervisor at work,” or “My cross is this health problem,” or “My cross is this relative.” They mistake the cross and what it represents for a minor annoyance or a pet peeve. And in doing so, they lose the meaning of the cross. If you were living in first-century Jerusalem and saw someone surrounded by Roman guards and carrying a cross through the streets, you would know exactly what was happening. You would know that person was on his way to be crucified. Someone carrying a cross was about to die. So, when Jesus said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me” (Mark 8:34 NLT), His disciples would have understood exactly what He meant. Taking up the cross speaks of dying to ourselves and wanting God’s will more than our own. It does not mean that your life is ruined when you decide to walk with God. Far from it. Jesus said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). But that’s on His terms, not ours. He didn’t mean, “My purpose is to fulfill their every wish.” The reality is that, apart from Jesus, no one knows what a rich and satisfying life is. Those who try to pursue it usually end up following their selfish instincts. And that never results in lasting richness or satisfaction. What Jesus meant was, “My purpose is to help them experience a life they didn’t know was available to them.” And the way to experience that life is to desire God’s will more than you desire your own. Jesus said, “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it” (Mark 8:35 NLT). That means adjusting your expectations. Recognizing your limited perspective on what life can be. Reprioritizing what’s important to you. Embracing the life Jesus offers, even when you don’t know where it will lead or what it will require of you. Taking up your cross means giving up your ideas of what a rich and satisfying life is. Taking up your cross ultimately requires a giant leap out of your comfort zone. Are you taking up your cross and following Jesus? If so, you’ll find that it impacts and influences every aspect of your life. The result will be life as it was meant to be lived: in the perfect will of God.

How Do We Shape Future Generations Well? Nancy French returns to The Good Faith Podcast with host Curtis Chang for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about how grandparenting reshapes your view of hope, kids and screens, grief, and what's worth doing with the time you have—even is that just means "robbing a bank with a Barbie." This conversation isn't just for grandparents: it's for anyone mentoring, parenting, teaching, or influencing the next generation, with practical wisdom on choosing connection, naming loss honestly, and creating space for kids to grow "analog" and resilient. Nancy also explains why legacy and being remembered aren't the point—what matters is faithfully loving the people in front of you and passing on stability, courage, and hope that outlasts you. 02:05 - Why Did Nancy Choose a Year as Primary Caregiver To Her Grandpkids? 07:44 - No screens and the value of analog, imaginative play. 13:15 - Preserving Children's Natural Hope 14:26 - Navigating Difficult Topics with Children 17:14 - The Value of Letting Children Experience Loss 23:09 - Creativity and Storytelling with Grandchildren 25:51 - Introducing Real-World Conflicts in Play 29:19 - Grandparents as Links to Family Legacy 34:53 - George Eliot: The Value of Unremembered Acts 36:18 - Living with Cancer and Embracing the Present 42:30 - Grandparenting from a Distance 45:27 - Encouragement to Focus on fun, connection, and Presence Rather Than Legacy Episode Companion: A Guide for Grandparents & All Those Influencing The Next Generation Mentioned In This Episode: Demographic research: Grandchildren's spatial proximity to grandparents and intergenerational support in the United States Jennifer F.
