Joining us is Mark Meckler, the driving force behind this grassroots initiative and CEO of our parent company. He shares the inspiring journey that led to this historic moment, detailing the challenges faced over the past 13 years, including a significant legal battle that ultimately paved the way for this legislative success. Then, we tackle the pressing issue of social media's impact on children and adolescents. As technology continues to advance, the effects of social media on young minds have become a growing concern, with studies indicating detrimental effects on self-worth and mental health. We're joined by Annie Chestnut, a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, who sheds light on the addictive nature of social media platforms and the alarming statistics surrounding children's screen time. Finally, we welcome Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks from Iowa, who shares her insights on the historic passage of 12 appropriations bills in Congress.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Brian Miller and Rev. Dr. Brian Tracy keep the January theme rolling—escaping the tyranny of the urgent—but this episode zeroes in on leadership coaching: why leaders get stuck, what beliefs jam the gears, and how a coach helps a leader climb out of survival mode and back into purpose. It opens with some playful "Brian spelling reform" banter (the Y can repent), then turns into a surprisingly practical coaching framework for leaders who feel like every week is "sludging through the mud." Key Highlights Why leaders stall out: Many leaders know the hill they want to take… but their Monday–Friday reality feels like mud, and they can't translate vision into Tuesday afternoon. Triple-loop coaching lens: Brian frames the problem as actions → strategy → identity. Tracy agrees most leaders stay stuck at the surface level (tweaking actions) without addressing strategy or identity. Balcony view: They talk about moving leaders from minutiae to perspective using "psychological distancing" and future-oriented questions: "Where do you want this to be in 5 years?" "What would 10-years-from-now you tell you to focus on?" Unsticking the gear: Brian describes a coaching move that creates safety—"I'm not holding you to this"—to help a frozen leader name a first step and regain momentum. Beliefs that sabotage leaders: Scarcity vs. abundance (closed-handed vs. open-handed leadership) "If I'm the leader, I should know everything" (which kills curiosity and learning) "If I'm leading right, there won't be complaints" (spoiler: change creates complaints) Takeaways Coaching gives leaders a place where every sentence isn't a grenade. In leadership, words carry 10x weight; coaching offers a safe lab to think out loud without collateral damage. A good leader reviews and prunes. Tracy describes doing a regular "stop/start" review twice a year because clutter expands like glitter—once it's in the room, it's everywhere. Don't build everything around yourself. Brian reflects on leaving "holes" when he exited organizations earlier in life—and names that as a leadership mistake. Healthy leadership equips others until the organization can run without you. Empowerment is the job. Tracy grounds it in Ephesians 4: leaders equip others to do the work, not hoard the work to feel needed. Criticism isn't a sign you're failing—sometimes it's proof you're leading. If you're changing anything meaningful, pushback is part of the fee. Even Jesus had bad Yelp reviews. Memorable Lines & Moments "Survival" as a strategy is still a strategy… just a terrible one. "The more authority you give away, the more authority you have." "If I'm successful, it's not because I got the job done—it's because they got it done." Moneyball reference: "The first guy through the wall always gets beat up." (Accurate, and also why most people prefer to be the second guy.)

As of January 2026- she is now a published author of "Remembering Who You Are- A Spiritual Guide to Healing, Freedom, Empowerment, and Living Your Soul's Truth”.In this episode we talk about:How her guides have been prompting her to write this book for 10 yearsThe #1 mistake she finds most people make while on their journey through healing and awakeningWhat guidance she has for you as you read the bookHow you can join her new online community! The 411 on Crystal:“I am a healer who works as both a psychic and an energy practitioner, supporting others on their path of self-discovery and healing. The information I receive comes from Spirit and from the Source most appropriate for each individual. This may include passed loved ones, Angels, Teachers, Masters, Guides, and our Higher Selves. What I share is offered in service of your integration and growth, so you may take conscious steps toward healing what arises during our work together.I have had these gifts since childhood. As I became aware that others did not share these abilities, I chose to keep them private as a form of self-protection. In my early twenties, I began to speak more openly, with discernment, while also starting a long and meaningful journey of healing from childhood trauma. This personal work continues to shape both my understanding of myself and my approach as a healer.A significant foundation of my experience comes from participating in a weekly meditative study group for 35 years, led through channeling by the Ascended Master Kuthumi. The teachings were wide-ranging including the Tree of Life (Kabbalah), Hermetic principles governing energy, the Rays, chakra work and clearing, grounding, manifestation, meditation, and working with multiple aspects of the Self. A central focus was learning to recognize and release limiting beliefs from consciousness. From this work, I gained tools, insight, and lived wisdom that continue to inform my practice.”Join Crystal's community here: https://www.iknowstuff.me/your-next-stepPurchase Crystal's book here: Remembering Who You AreLink to purchase Lifewave patches from Mo: https://www.lifewave.com/pillaroflight----------Follow I love it when

The Big Unlock · Chethan Sathya, MD., Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Northwell Health In this episode, Dr. Chethan Sathya, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Northwell Health, unpacks why healthcare innovation only scales when clinicians, public health, and AI are designed to work together. Dr. Sathya shares his journey from surgery to journalism to public health advocacy, including leading gun violence prevention efforts. He explains why most AI pilots fail, because of poor workflow integration and clinician burden, and why ambient intelligence, tele-specialty care, and agentic AI are poised to scale.

Socializing feels draining. Home feels safer. And you start wondering if you're losing motivation… or losing yourself.In this episode, we unpack the psychology and biology of loving staying at home, and why this phase often appears right after you outgrow your old life - but before your next expansion.You'll learn why:The mind can “get it” while the body is still searching for safetyLeaving power-and-control spaces disrupts belonging at a nervous-system levelMotivation doesn't disappear - it reorganizesRelief comes before expansion (and why confusing the two keeps people stuck)Using research on belonging, nervous system regulation, attachment, and social safety, we explore why your body craves predictable rhythms, low noise, and environments where connection doesn't require performance or self-betrayal.This conversation also maps a third path - beyond going back to the old tribe or isolating forever. We talk about low-stakes belonging: places where you can be quiet, leave early, opt out, or show up partially - so your nervous system can collect real evidence that being yourself is safe.You'll hear a grounded reframe of success - shifting away from visibility and approval toward physiological safety, alignment, and sustainable confidence.If you've been judging your need for quiet… If home has become a refuge you're unsure how to grow beyond… This episode offers language, relief, and permission.Home isn't a hiding place. It's often the training ground.

This metaphor captures the essence of anxiety's inefficiency, as we often expend energy on events that haven't happened and may never occur.Objectivity as a Tool for Mental ResilienceByron Athene, a seasoned psychotherapist, will be delving into the role of objectivity in cultivating mental resilience. He will explain that objectivity allows us to step outside our emotional biases, enabling us to see situations as they truly are rather than through the lens of fear. This shift from subjective worry to objective analysis empowers us to respond effectively to life's challenges.Practical Steps to Cultivate ObjectivityThroughout the upcoming episode, practical insights will be shared on how to develop an objective mindset. Byron will emphasize the importance of metacognition—thinking about our thinking—as a way to break free from the cycle of worry. By focusing on evidence and rational analysis, we can conserve our mental resources for when action is truly needed.Conclusion: Embracing a New PerspectiveAs this episode concludes, listeners are encouraged to embrace objectivity as a tool for personal growth and mental clarity. By shifting our focus from "what if" to "what now," we can liberate ourselves from the self-imposed interest of worry and live more fully in the present.Subscribe now to stay updated on future episodes and continue your journey towards a more objective and fulfilling lifeObjectivity, Anxiety Management, Mental Resilience, Clarity, Empowerment.

In previous episodes, we've explored how different expressions of masculinity, from archetypes like Castro Clones and metrosexuality to gym culture, intersect across the gay world. Within subcultures such as bros, leather, and bears, masculinity is often elevated, creating a complex dynamic where gay men are both drawn to and shaped by these ideals.In this episode, we're unpacking bro culture and exploring why gay men may be attracted to masculinity, whether that attraction stems from biology, societal influence, or internalized homophobia, and how we can stay authentic to ourselves in the process.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 11.

In this episode, we unpack the neurobiology of over-responsibility-how a highly attuned brain and nervous system can mistake other people's tension for a threat to your own safety.Rather than shaming the instinct to help, we examine how early somatic learning shapes this pattern. Long before conscious choice, your nervous system learned through tone of voice, silence, micro-expressions, and relational rupture that intervening reduces uncertainty. That reduction in uncertainty creates relief via dopaminergic and limbic pathways - not because stepping in is always aligned with your values, but because it temporarily restores predictability.Dr Amen Kaur will walk through the neuroscience behind this loop, including:the medial prefrontal cortex, integrating self–other representationsthe temporoparietal junction, amplifying perspective-taking and responsibility attributionthe superior temporal gyrus, decoding social meaning and implicit cuesthe anterior insula, mapping interoceptive signals and threat salienceWhen this network is chronically activated, unresolved situations register as bodily alarms. Action becomes regulation. Regulation becomes identity. Over time, the cost isn't just fatigue - it's stalled careers, capped earning potential, constrained leadership, and creative energy siphoned into managing other people's emotional states.You'll also learn how passive nonverbal control - withdrawal, disappointment, ambiguity, subtle neediness - can recruit you into action without a single request, and why guilt or anxiety spikes when you resist. These reactions aren't moral failures; they're predictable outputs of a sensitized regulatory system.  So its NOT YOU - its something you can unlearn somaticallyFinally, we pivot to change. You'll learn a brief, neurobiologically informed pause that brings prefrontal cognition online so sensation becomes data, not command. We explore a reframing that separates responsibility from regulation, allowing boundaries to register as safety rather than threat. A real client example shows how breaking the caretaker loop at work restored agency, redirected talent, and unlocked growth that had been stalled for years.If you're ready to stop sacrificing your

Drawing on reminders from figures such as Patrice Lumumba and Martin Luther King Jr., we recall that world orders do not announce themselves into existence—they are made, resisted, and ultimately decided by the people who survive them.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Any time we decide to do something that will make us healthier, happier, more authentic, so often, we are met with resistance. That resistance manifests in many different ways. Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the resistance that is getting in our way so we can push past it and transcend our former selves.

What if the new frequency of empowerment is not about becoming more, but about being more present?Lately, I have been thinking a lot about what empowerment actually looks like in this season of life. Not the curated version. Not the AI polished version. The real, grounded, human version.We are living in a time where technology is moving faster than our nervous systems can keep up. Faster than our relationships. Faster than our ability to truly see one another. And I believe empowerment is being redefined right in front of us.In this episode, I talk about• Why authenticity is the new power currency• How technology is reshaping our attention and our relationships• What my dad and calculators taught me about adaptation without disconnection• Why mindset work matters more than ever right now• The cost of not being present with the people right in front of us• Why in person experiences are not optional, they are essential• A simple reminder to look up so you do not miss your lifeReflection to sit withWhere in your life are you physically present, but energetically elsewhere?Your invitation to Lead From Within:Join me for the free two day Lead From Within experience.January 26 and 27Live virtual sessionsSave your free seat at: www.melodypourmoradi.com/leadfromwithinThis is the frequency.And it starts with us.Let's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!

In this special seasonal episode of the Hort Culture podcast, join Ray as he sits down with Boyd County Horticulture Extension Agent Lori Bowling to explore a truly impactful and unique horticulture program: the Federal Correctional Institution Master Gardener Program in Ashland, Kentucky. Lori shares the origin story of the program, which began more than two decades ago with a simple orchard planting and evolved into a full Kentucky Master Gardener certification offered inside a federal prison. Listeners learn how incarcerated participants complete the same rigorous coursework and volunteer requirements as any Master Gardener, while gaining valuable job skills, purpose, and confidence. The conversation highlights the program's far-reaching benefits, including the production of tens of thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables each year that are donated to River Cities Harvest and distributed to food-insecure families across Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. This episode powerfully illustrates how horticulture education, community partnerships, and Extension programming can change lives—both inside and outside prison walls—by growing food, skills, and hope.River Cities HarvestBoyd County Extension Horticulture ProgramQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!
