Send us a textWhat if the life you're living right now is inviting you to slow down, listen deeper, and finally come home to yourself?In this powerful and soul-expanding episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits with Ann Jonas for a deeply intentional conversation on self-reflection, spirituality, and the sacred connection between the human experience and the divine. This episode isn't just a discussion—it's an invitation. An invitation to pause, to breathe, and to remember who you are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the expectations of the world.Together, Lira and Ann explore self-reflection as a gateway to healing—both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. They unpack the idea that we are constantly reflecting and being reflected, using metaphors like “walking disco balls,” Earth school, and the Matrix to illuminate how life's challenges, triggers, and moments of contraction are not punishments, but portals for growth and expansion. This conversation gently reminds us that resilience isn't about never falling—it's about choosing to rise again with awareness.The episode also dives deep into the contrast between religion and spirituality, examining how organized systems have shaped society while spirituality offers a direct, personal relationship with God, Source, and self. Ann speaks on sovereignty, choice, and alignment—encouraging listeners to move from fear-based living into heart-led awareness, where intuition becomes the true moral compass and presence becomes power.The experience culminates in a guided moment of self-reflection and meditation, creating space for listeners to reconnect with their inner light, soften into the present moment, and affirm their inherent worth. This episode serves as a reminder that healing doesn't require perfection—it begins with presence, curiosity, and the willingness to choose yourself again and again.If this conversation resonates, take it with you. Reflect on it. Sit with it. Let it meet you where you are. And if you feel called, share it with someone who might need a gentle reminder that they are not alone on their journey.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

One of the biggest mistakes we make as parents is basing our happiness and emotional well-being on our kids' happiness and emotional well-being. When we do this, we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment. We've learned that even though we began our parenting adventure with a wonderfully written script that included no difficulties, bumps, or bruises, God had a different script for us to live. His script wasn't 100% percent happy like ours. While it was difficult for us, we learned that God gives us and our kids the opportunity to struggle through life so that we might grow and mature. If we were all to base our happiness on how well things were going with our kids. . . well, we'd all wind up spending time being miserable people. The Apostle Paul laid out a better way. . . in fact, it's the right way. He writes in Romans 12, “Base your happiness on your hope in Christ. When trials come endure them patiently, steadfastly maintain the habit of prayer” 

For Woven client, Abby, the experience of cycle charting provided far more insight than simple family planning. It opened up a whole new world of discovery as she recognized the role her reproductive hormones played in her emotional state and creative potential. After charting her cycles with the Creighton Model System, she began working with these natural rhythms instead of against them and her creative and personal endeavors came alive. As a professional dancer and athlete, she used to berate herself for having needs and strengths that morphed throughout her cycle. Now, she changed her perspective to honor them. I'm excited for you to hear more from Abby herself in this episode. Enjoy!NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.GUEST BIO: Abby is a Jesus follower and professional dancer.

Have you ever lain in bed at night, exhausted—but unable to quiet your thoughts? Or felt that tightness in your chest, the racing worries, the sense that you should be okay… but you’re not? If that sounds familiar, today’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast was recorded with you in mind. I’m joined by my dear friend Becky Keife to talk about her new devotional, A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul—and this conversation is both tender and deeply hopeful. Becky shares her own journey with anxiety, the freedom that came through honesty, and the simple, grace-filled ways God meets us right in the middle of our anxious moments. We talk about:• Why anxiety is so common—and why you’re not weak for feeling it• How Scripture offers real comfort for weary, overwhelmed hearts• Practical peace practices you can actually live out (even on hard days)• Letting go of shame and learning to receive God’s compassion• Resting in God’s presence when you don’t even have words to pray What I love most about Becky’s approach is this reminder: God doesn’t shame us for our anxiety. He draws near. He invites us to come, to rest, and to receive His peace—one breath, one prayer, one verse at a time. If your soul has been craving calm, reassurance, or simply the reminder that you are not alone, this episode will be a gift to you.

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Shahana Alibhai, a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, family physician, and medical director of The Foundry Abbotsford, to the show to talk about her book, Feel Better, and the need for more focus on mental health, especially for youth. Dr. Shahana points out that medicine is very focused on illness, on diagnosing disease and offering treatment, whereas mental health requires holding space for belonging, acceptance, and mattering. She and Dr. Laura explore what it takes to navigate emotions and thrive in life.The proceeds from Dr. Shahana's book sales go to support youth mental health agencies, and she drew on her own experiences with postpartum OCD and the reluctance she felt, as a physician, to seek professional help. Dr. Shahana and Dr. Laura explore the coping mechanisms we turn to and whether they're useful long-term, the benefits of being open about our emotional states, and the lessons in Feel Better. Dr. Shahana likens understanding others to envisioning an invisible chalkboard above them listing what's really going on in their lives, the parts we don't automatically see. This is a beautifully authentic conversation that sheds light on the reality of what emotional struggle is, how to cope with stress and anxiety, and how to prolong the joy we seek.“Does it come as a friend and leave as a friend, or does it come as a friend and leave as an enemy? … Vaping, substances, alcohol, the list goes on and on. Comes as a friend. Of course it works. It works oftentimes. Leaves as an enemy. It takes more from you than you want.” - Dr. Shahana AlibhaiAbout Dr. Shanana Alibhai:TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and powerhouse in the field of emotional health.

John Miles' journey reflects a powerful evolution from traditional corporate and military achievements toward a mission centered on personal meaning and human connection. His early experiences navigating the pressures of leadership roles revealed a critical insight: true fulfillment arises when individuals feel seen, valued, and empowered, not just when they reach external milestones. Recognizing how the epidemic of invisibility and disconnection affects people of all ages, he developed a leadership style that prioritized making both employees and community members feel that they matter—a lesson that has broad relevance in today's fast-paced, often impersonal world. Drawing from personal adversity and vulnerability, John has committed to addressing these challenges at their root, especially in childhood. He understands that a sense of belonging and self-worth needs to be cultivated early, before negative patterns take hold. This conviction drives his latest initiatives for children, including the creation of You Matter, Luma, a vibrant children's book that teaches kids about inherent worth, and the Pass the Ripple app, which turns small acts of kindness into a movement that can be tracked and celebrated. Both projects aim to break cycles of invisibility by giving kids practical tools—and the confidence—to see their own significance and the positive ripples they can create. For parents, educators, and advocates seeking to nurture confidence and well-being in children, John's work is both a guide and an invitation to action.

What if one simple rhythm could reshape the way you see your days, your relationships, and even your walk with God? What if gratitude isn’t just a feeling but a flavor that transforms everything it touches? That’s the heart behind my conversation with Jeremy A. Taylor on The Love Offering Podcast this week. Jeremy’s new book, Gratitude Flavors Everything You Do, is a gentle companion designed to help you pause, notice God’s goodness, and cultivate a posture of thankfulness in the middle of real life. In our episode, Jeremy and I talk about how gratitude can soften our attitudes, strengthen our relationships, and anchor us when life feels hurried or heavy. We explore how a thankful heart doesn’t ignore hard things—it finds God in them. I’d love for you to listen and consider beginning your own gratitude rhythm—morning, evening, or whenever you can breathe in God’s goodness. Let’s welcome each day with hearts attuned to God’s presence—and let gratitude flavor everything we do.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Guillermo Schulte to explore how AI is reshaping up-skilling, re-skilling, and the future of education through play, from learning games and gamification to emotional intelligence, mental health, and the coming wave of abundance and chaos that technology is accelerating; they also get into synchronous vs. asynchronous learning, human–AI collaboration, and how organizations can use data-driven game experiences for cybersecurity, onboarding, and ongoing training.

Guillermo highlights how rapid technological change is transforming every profession, making continuous learning essential for remaining employable and adding value in a world where machines increasingly handle routine tasks.Play is humanity's native learning tool—and video games unlock it for adults. He explains that humans are wired to learn through play, yet traditional education suppresses this instinct. Learning games reintroduce engagement, emotion, and curiosity, making education more intuitive and scalable.Gamified, asynchronous learning can democratize access. While synchronous interaction is powerful, Guillermo emphasizes that mobile-first, game-based learning allows millions—including those without resources—to gain skills anytime, closing gaps in opportunity and meritocracy.Emotional intelligence will matter more as AI takes over technical tasks. As AI becomes increasingly capable in logic-heavy fields, human strengths like empathy, leadership, creativity, and relationship-building become central to meaningful work and personal fulfillment.Novelty and boredom shape how we learn and think. They discuss how constant novelty can stunt creativity, while boredom creates the mental space for insight. Future learning systems will need to balance stimulation with reflection to avoid cognitive overload.Abundance will bring psychological challenges alongside material benefits. Stewart and Guillermo point out that while AI and robotics may create unprecedented prosperity, they may also destabilize identity and purpose, amplifying the already-growing mental health crisis.AI-powered game creation could redefine education entirely. Guillermo describes TGA's upcoming platform that lets anyone transform documents into personalized learning games, using player data to adapt difficulty and style—potentially making learning more effective, accessible, and enjoyable than traditional instruction.

In this deeply personal piece, Jon shares something raw and different ... a song born straight from his journaling practice.After years of living by duty, discipline, and performance, Jon found himself realizing he'd lost touch with the part of him that once felt fully alive.That reflection became a song called “Called Home to Yourself.”Through honest storytelling and emotional depth, Jon opens up about what it means to wake up after years on autopilot... to remember the child you once were, the fire you once carried, and the freedom of feeling seen again.This song isn't about perfection (nor is it perfect)... it's about presence.It's about rediscovering who you are beneath the roles, the ranks, and the noise of everyday life.If you've ever felt that quiet ache... that pull toward something real... this episode is for you.Because sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is stop running, listen, and come home.Listen to “Called Home to Yourself” — written and performed by... well, AI!!Hosted by Jon Macaskill | Men Talking MindfulnessHosted by Ausha.
