In this episode of The Danette May Show, I sit down with psychic medium, author, and spiritual teacher Theresa Watson to explore intuition, mediumship, spirit communication, and the wisdom already living within your body. Theresa shares how she discovered her abilities, why so many of us stop trusting ourselves, and how physical sensations, energetic signals, and inner knowing can help guide our choices.We also talk about soul contracts, setting boundaries with spirit, the difference between a psychic and a medium, trusting yourself after difficult decisions, and helping sensitive or intuitive children understand what they are experiencing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your intuition is not something you need to earn. It is something you can begin listening to, strengthening, and trusting more deeply every day.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Meet psychic medium Theresa Watson(0:53) Welcome and guest introduction(3:50) Why Theresa said yes(4:28) Choosing guests through intuition(5:47) Real intuition vs. social media trends(8:02) Why we stop trusting ourselves(9:36) Soul contracts and relationship lessons(10:18) Embracing life as a medium(13:17) The hot tub awakening(15:58) Opening the door to spirit(20:19) Losing a friend over religious beliefs(21:20) How mediumship feels in the body(21:43) Clearing energy before a reading(22:27) Practicing trust in your intuition(23:24) Magnetic energy and family gifts(24:28) Setting boundaries with spirit(26:25) Psychic vs. medium(27:03) Women trusting their inner knowing(29:21) How to stay empowered(30:31) When spirit cannot come through(32:45) Recognizing intuition through body signals(35:24) Supporting intuitive children(36:26) Finding your why(38:28) Owning your truth in relationships(39:09) Final message and closing thoughtsCONNECT WITH THERESAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingheartsmedium Website: https://www.healingheartsmedium.com/ Programs: https://www.skool.com/awakening-your-spiritual-gifts/about Book: https://a.co/d/0cQsKVMc

In today's episode, Gina discusses one of Claire Weekes' most important topics in her anxiety recovery methodology: acceptance. Through liberal application of Weekes' acceptance, individuals with anxiety will improve their anxiety recovery journey. Embracing acceptance of life circumstances automatically reduces resistance.

We explain that acceptance does not mean giving up, approving of anxiety, or resigning ourselves to it. Instead, it means stopping the struggle with what is already happening in the present moment.We distinguish between disliking anxiety and fighting it. We note that resistance can add another layer of fear and stress, while willingness can soften the nervous system. We describe acceptance as a posture rather than a feeling, and we use examples such as dizziness, intrusive thoughts, and a racing heart to show the difference between resistance and acceptance in daily life.We also connect Claire Weekes's teaching with Pema Chödrön's ideas about staying present and not hardening against discomfort. We describe acceptance as a form of “floating” through sensations without trying to force them away. This is presented as a way to reduce the second fear and to support nervous system retraining.We end with practical language and a brief micro-practice: pausing, relaxing the shoulders and jaw, breathing normally, and using willingness phrases such as “I'm willing to let this be here” or “I can float through this moment.” We emphasize that acceptance is a skill that becomes easier with repetition and that it allows healing without adding unnecessary suffering.#Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #PanicAttacks #ClaireWeeks #DrClaireWeeks #AnxietyRecovery #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #NervousSystemHealing #Mindfulness #Acceptance #PemaChodron #SelfCompassion #AnxietySupport #OvercomingAnxiety #StressRelief #InnerPeace #MentalWellness #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #FloatingThroughAnxiety #HealingJourney #SelfCare #MindsetShift #DropTheStruggle #PanicDisorder #HealthAnxiety #Agoraphobia #FightOrFlight #NervousSystemRegulation #VagusNerve #SomaticHealing #ACTTherapy #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #Overthinking #IntrusiveThoughts #SelfHelp #EmotionalHealing #HolisticHealth #MentalHealthPodcast #PodcastEpisode #WellnessPodcast #MindBodyConnection #CalmYourMind #StressManagement #AnxietyTips #MentalHealthCommunity #NonResistance #InnerCalm #Empathy #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Singles Series continues with Devon from Florida, who has learned the value of leaning into the hard conversations instead of avoiding them. Devon is pastor, coach, and single dad who has intentionally embarked on his personal healing journey, increasing in his emotional awareness, his conflict and communication, and his desire for authenticity. His past relationship history showed him his tendency to hide from hard conversations, and with the help of God and good counseling, he's taking the opposite approach in this season of life, which is to embrace the hard conversations with the people he cares about. We talk about how conflict can lead to deeper intimacy, why it's important to master relationship skills in dating, and what he's looking for in a woman. Single ladies, if you love Jesus, dimples, and hoop earrings (you'll have to listen to get that joke), send Devon Daniel a message and start a conversation:   Instagram:Instagram.com/Devon_Daniel Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/devon.d.daniel/ Email: devon.daniel8282@gmail.com **A quick note: While we're excited to introduce you to the singles featured in this series, their appearance on the podcast should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation.

What if some of the desires we interpret as sexual are also expressions of a deeper longing for affection, belonging, emotional safety and genuine connection?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with college media instructor, award-winning author and conflict-resolution graduate Karl Beckstrand.

Confession time. I was the kid with the "I am me, I'm ok" poster taped up in my room. I was desperate to feel confident and ok, and yeah, it's embarrassing, but it helped. My mom, who was a lot like Stuart Smalley (if you remember that SNL skit, the guy who looks in the mirror and reminds himself he's good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, worthy), encouraged me to hang it up after a devastating seventh grade experience. My own personal Mean Girls encounter. I had just started at a new junior high, and it felt like every rule of friendship and belonging got flipped upside down overnight. Everyone I was friends with landed on the red team. I got placed on purple. I was shocked by how brutal girls I once called my besties could be. And while I found new friends eventually, something else took root first. A belief that I needed to change. That I needed to fix myself. That belief followed me for years. It played out in my first marriage, until I had a shocking awareness and awakening. There was never anything wrong with me. There was only the belief that I wasn't cool enough, smart enough, pretty enough, whatever word fits for you. This week's episode is all about that exact fallacy, the idea that you need to fix yourself.  My guest Leonard Jacobson has had nine awakenings, and what he shares about presence and the truth of who you are is something I wish my 13 year old self could've heard..  I hope this one helps you remember there's nothing in you to fix. Ever. Friend, you are good enough, smart enough, and worthy of everything you desire. You always were. Period. Bio Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation. For more than four decades, he has taught a practical path of awakening based on Presence, self-awareness, and conscious living. Since his first awakening in 1981, Leonard has shared his teachings with thousands of people around the world through retreats, workshops, books, and online programs. He is the author of seven books, including Words from Silence, Embracing the Present, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Liberating Jesus, Life Beyond the Ego, and In Seach of the Light, a children's picture book. His books have been translated into numerous languages.   Key Topics Leonard Jacobson's awakening journey The nature of God and oneness Practices for awakening and presence The role of the ego in spiritual growth Revealing the truth about Jesus and Christ consciousness The importance of responsibility and self-awareness in awakening   About Leonard Jacobson Leonard Jacobson is an internationally recognized spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation.

In this episode, Michael and Mircea dig into one of the biggest offensive upgrades in modern pickleball: the two-handed backhand dink. Mircea, a former tennis and squash player, shares what it's like to relearn a shot as a high-level competitor, while Michael reflects on his own journey picking up the "twoie" back in 2023. Together they break down technique, drilling strategy, and how the shot shows up differently depending on where you are on the court. Why the two-hander matters: How the two-handed backhand dink has gone from a rare, cutting-edge shot to the default among younger and female players, and why it opens up so much more offense than the traditional one-handed slice dink. Starting from scratch: Mircea talks about the mental hurdle of deconstructing a shot he'd already found success with, and the discomfort of being a beginner again at a high level of play. The wall drill: Both hosts recommend starting with 30 to 45 minutes hitting left-handed dinks against a wall to build footwork and spin before ever adding the second hand. Footwork over everything: Why leg drive and getting under the ball matters more than arm mechanics when learning the shot. Paddle angle debate: Michael and Mircea compare notes on paddle tip position (angled up vs. dipped down) for different types of dinks and speed-ups. Shot placement on speed-ups: Guidance on where to target speed-ups (down the line, into the body, or cross-court into the hip/belly button) and why cross-middle speed-ups are usually a mistake. Timeline for improvement: Expect two to four weeks minimum of discomfort, with real integration into games often taking two to three months or longer. Pro-level examples: References to Anna Leigh Waters, Anna Bright, Hayden Patrick Quinn, Jack Sock, JW, and Ben, illustrating different ways the two-hander is used (or intentionally not used) at the highest levels. Senior pro trends: Why more women are bringing the two-hander into senior pro play, and how it's slowly gaining ground among men on that circuit. Don't neglect your strengths: A reminder to keep drilling bread-and-butter shots (like the one-handed slice dink) even while building a new weapon, since the one-hander still matters for reach, resets, and defense. Right-side situations: How the two-handed backhand shows up less often at the net when playing the right side, but becomes more relevant in the transition zone and on third-shot drops. Michael gives a shoutout to CRBN Pickleball's new backpack and his Barrage elongated paddle. Listeners can use code 402P at checkout for 10% off at carbonpickleball.com. Committing to a two-handed backhand dink is a long-term project, not a quick fix. Drill it deliberately (wall work, tossed feeds, transition zone reps), keep using it in real games even while uncomfortable, and don't abandon the shots that already work while you build the new one.

The crew is joined by returning guest 2K Kenny, who is back nearly two years after his first appearance on Episode 136. With Damon away, Damo, Aaron, and Kenny begin by discussing the cost of CMC initiation events, “integrity counting” during the PRT, and the technical difference between a Sailor's rate, rating, and paygrade. The conversation also covers the importance of acknowledging people, lessons from suicide-intervention training, and why something as simple as saying hello can carry more weight than we realize. The crew then catches up on everything Kenny has accomplished since his first appearance. He discusses making second class, earning his ESWS qualification, enduring repeated deployment extensions, and turning the realities of sea duty into music that connects with Sailors. Kenny explains how he learned to embrace being called corny, respond to criticism with confidence, and lean further into the creativity that made him stand out. The conversation moves through vintage Navy uniforms, content days, guerrilla marketing, getting recognized around base—and while driving Uber—and the growing community of Sailors creating their own lanes through social media. Kenny also opens up about his family, his evolving relationships with his parents, and the responsibility that came with growing up as the oldest of ten children. He reflects on the leader he wants to become, the sponsor who made his arrival in Hawaii memorable, and the importance of correcting Sailors while still advocating for them.

You know him as Dani Rojas on Ted Lasso. He's also a professional footballer with El Paso Locomotive FC, a filmmaker, and now the author of a bilingual picture book, Fútbol Is Life! / ¡Fútbol es vida!, illustrated by James Rey Sanchez. But before all of that? He was a life insurance salesman who sold nothing for a year.  This conversation is about what happens between the dream and the arriving. About injuries that turn out to be redirections. About why "be curious, not judgmental" might be the most useful thing we can teach — and keep learning ourselves. In this episode: (00:01) The gotcha question: is Cristo actually a superhero? (01:27) The family example: why "the more you give, the more you receive" (03:32) What team sports teach us about not being the star (04:19) Injuries, rejection, and becoming a hustler: "I love when someone tells me no" (09:22) The market scene: remembering to pause and notice (10:31) What Dani Rojas reminds Cristo about joy (12:55) Embracing where you come from as a superpower (14:09) Collaboration, and never thinking you know everything (16:30) Why a children's book is the perfect format for dreaming big Quotes worth stealing: "I love when someone tells me no. It might not be no here, but it might be yes somewhere else." "Aim for the moon. If you don't hit the moon, you hit a star. And if you don't hit a star, you hit some space dust — and that's fine too." "There's not one single way of being Mexican or being American or being Latino. We all bring something great to the table."

What can Protestants learn from the Catholic tradition? Host Curtis Chang and The Atlantic writer and former White House staffer Pete Wehner explore how Catholic social teaching—from subsidiarity and solidarity to the preferential option for the poor—offers a rich framework for Christian public life. They consider the limits of sola scriptura, unpack the importance of intellectual rigor, and define Christian humanism.
