The nativity is more than a quiet scene on a mantel—it’s the moment Hope took on flesh. Drawing from Luke 2:7, this devotional reflects on the tender, intimate way God chose to enter the world: humble, small, and wrapped in cloth. Like Mary, the shepherds, and the wise men who followed a star into the unknown, we’re invited to pursue Hope with trust, curiosity, and courage. Hope doesn’t shout; it waits to be sought. And when we find it—when we find Him—fear loses its grip and light floods the dark corners of our lives. Highlights A personal window into the author’s first night of motherhood and the nearness of God Parallels between Mary’s quiet moment with Jesus and our own encounters with divine presence The power of hope to silence fear—echoed in Scripture and even unexpected cultural references Why hope often appears humble and easy to overlook The shepherds’ and wise men’s radical pursuit of a Savior they barely understood A reminder that true hope isn’t about earthly rewards but eternal transformation The invitation to seek, embrace, and live out the hope found in Christ Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Hope Wrapped in Swaddling Clothes By Peyton Garland Bible Reading: “...and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” Luke 2:27 (NIV) Outside experiencing Christ’s salvation, I haven’t felt God’s presence so loudly, so beautifully, as the night after I had my first son. My little guy didn’t have to stay in the hospital nursery, so he spent his first night with me. Exhausted from the previous night’s midnight contractions coupled with a five-in-the-morning birth, I welcomed the quiet, dark hush that finally fell over the hospital floors. I recall the sole soft yellow light the nurses left on in my room through that night, and it shone directly over my baby. Despite the new mysteries and fears naturally coupled with motherhood, like Hagar, I felt seen, known, and embraced (Genesis 16). The presence of the Almighty was undeniable. I imagine that Mary felt much the same as the Star of Bethlehem pierced through a world filled with darkness and cast its beautiful warmth over her, and Hope wrapped in swaddling clothes. She had little choice but to accept the kindness and favor God had placed on her through such a tiny, splendid creature. Hope for Mary’s people was now tangible. If you have ever read the best-selling sci-fi series, The Hunger Games, or watched its film adaptations, you recall one of the trilogy’s most famous quotes: “Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.” Though quoted by the villainous President Snow, I agree with his assessment. Hope has this unearthly ability to squelch our greatest fears, yet hope rarely screams to be seen. Hope is often humble, just like Katniss Everdeen, a poor young girl from an outcast district, who was willing to sacrifice her life to become hope for a nation of oppressed people. Hope wants you to seek it out to affirm the worth you’ve placed upon it. It’s not that hope is dictatorial. Rather, hope recognizes that without your willingness to seek it and embrace it, it will never truly live inside you. You won’t experience its fullness without placing personal faith in its power. Is that not what the nativity scene reminds us? Humble beginnings? Faith that seems scientifically impossible and socially fatal? The shepherds were greeted by a host of angels and told to meet a newborn baby who would save their souls. The wise men (likely sorcerers) felt the holy calling of a God they weren’t intimate with, yet they spent months, likely years, pursuing a star (most scholars believe the wise men didn’t reach Christ until he was two years old). This great pursuit didn’t lead the shepherds or wise men to a king in royal garb. They didn’t discover troves of treasure. There wasn’t any earthly reward they gained from this blind trust. Instead, they met a young boy born to lowly Jews, but they were radically bettered forever. In fact, Scripture confirms that the wise men pledged their souls to Christ, worshipping him, and protecting Him from King Herod: “[Herod] sent [the wise men] to Bethlehem and said, ‘Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.’ After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.” We are granted the same opportunity to pursue Hope, even if we aren’t promised worldly possessions or fame. Hope doesn’t need a bonus package or special add-ons to fill our hearts with love and light that brings us joy, no matter our lot in life. Hope only needs a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, a baby committed to experiencing sacrificial death, then shedding grave clothes for mankind to know eternal peace. What a beautiful reason to celebrate the true meaning and hope of this Christmas season! Intersecting Faith & Life: As Christmas approaches, take a few moments as a family to discuss the importance of the nativity scene and consider age-appropriate crafts and devotionals centered on its significance.

Why do I feel exhausted even though I'm successful? You've built something impressive. You've proven yourself over and over. But you're exhausted, your body is breaking down, and no matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. You're the strong one everyone leans on, but you're quietly wondering how much longer you can keep this up. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. This is the hidden cost of being strong, and it's exactly what today's guest, Alex Snider, lived through before everything came crashing down. Who is Alex Snider? Alex Snider is the founder of Leaders Who Build, a leadership development company working with founders and executives who are scaling fast but struggling to lead themselves through it. Alex helps her clients integrate strategy with self-awareness so they can grow their businesses without losing themselves in the process. She's a certified executive coach who knows this terrain intimately because she's walked through it herself. Alex's Story: When Strength Becomes Your Prison During COVID, Alex was tripling her company in 10 months. On the outside, she was crushing it. But her back was in constant pain for 12 months straight. Her business partnership had turned toxic. Her personal relationship was unhealthy. She was over-giving in every direction, having emotional reactions that would take her out for days, and her body was physically breaking down from carrying the weight of it all. Alex had gone from being hyper-independent and emotionally unavailable to swinging completely to the other extreme: over-functioning, people-pleasing, and seeking partnerships to fill the gaps she believed existed in herself. She was operating from scarcity, not abundance. She was trying to earn love by being helpful and valuable enough. And she was attracting emotionally unavailable people so she could over-compensate by being the caretaker. The breakthrough came when Alex realized she was having outsized emotional reactions because she had given every ounce of energy to everyone else. There was nothing left for her. She had to face the uncomfortable truth: her patterns of over-functioning weren't making her a better leader or partner. They were destroying her health, her relationships, and her ability to feel the success she'd built. What we talk about in this episode: How over-functioning creates under-functioning in others. When you're constantly doing everything, carrying all the weight, and being the strong one, you're actually teaching the people around you to do less. You create the exact dynamic you resent. What it's like to attract emotionally unavailable people when you're trying to earn love. Alex shares how her pattern of seeking partners from scarcity (looking for people to fill her perceived gaps) versus partnering from abundance completely shifted once she did the deep work on her worthiness. The moment you wish someone would save you while hating yourself for even thinking it. This is the rock bottom moment for high-functioning, capable people. When you're so exhausted that you just want someone to rescue you, and you despise yourself for having that thought because you're supposed to be strong. Why your "buttons" getting pushed reveals your unhealed wounds. Alex explains how the people closest to us push our buttons not because they're trying to hurt us, but because they're the only ones allowed close enough to reach those wounds. Her business partner was pushing the exact buttons related to her "not enough" story from childhood. How to set boundaries without over-explaining yourself. Learning to say no as a complete sentence. Learning to set a boundary and hold it without justifying, defending, or convincing. This is the work of self-respect. What self-trust actually means and how to rebuild it. Self-trust isn't built through grand gestures. It's built by keeping the small promises you make to yourself. Every time you break a promise to yourself, you're teaching yourself you don't matter. The shift from "not enough" to "I am so in love with myself." Alex shares what it's like on the other side of the deep emotional work: the peace, the clarity, the ability to move through the world without constantly proving yourself or seeking external validation. How success and freedom get redefined once you stop abandoning yourself. For Alex, freedom used to mean location independence. Now it means the freedom to prioritize her health, be where she wants when she wants, work with people she chooses, and have the bandwidth to do work that matters without worrying about compensation. The spiral metaphor: why it looks like you're going in circles but you're actually going up. Alex has a spiral tattooed on her wrist because from one angle, personal growth looks like you're just repeating the same patterns. But shift your perspective and you see you're actually ascending, going around and up with each iteration. This episode is for you if you've ever: Felt like you're everyone's rock but you have no one to lean on when you're falling apart Been the strong, capable one your entire life and secretly resented having to hold it all together Attracted emotionally unavailable people so you could be the caretaker and feel needed Achieved impressive milestones but still struggled to actually feel successful Wished someone would just save you, then immediately hated yourself for being weak enough to think it Had physical pain that wouldn't resolve no matter what you tried (and suspected it was related to emotional stress) Found yourself over-functioning in your work and relationships while others under-function Said yes to things you didn't want to do because it felt easier than setting a boundary Built something that looks successful on the outside but feels exhausting on the inside Known you need to take better care of yourself but always ran out of time and energy How to stop over-functioning and start living Alex's journey reveals something critical: you can't strategy your way out of patterns rooted in unworthiness. You can't hustle your way into feeling successful. And you can't keep abandoning yourself for achievement and expect to feel fulfilled. The real work is getting honest about why you're over-giving. What you're getting from being everyone's rock. What you're avoiding by staying busy and helpful and indispensable. And whether you're willing to do the uncomfortable work of learning to love yourself enough to stop. If you're ready to stop carrying it all and start building success that actually feels good, this conversation will show you what's possible on the other side. Ready to stop over-functioning and start feeling successful? The patterns Alex describes (over-functioning, people-pleasing, seeking external validation, struggling to feel your success) aren't character flaws. They're coping mechanisms you developed to stay safe. But they're costing you your health, your relationships, and your ability to enjoy the life you've built. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning mode, the wounds driving your need to be everyone's rock, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the life you've built doesn't just look good, it finally feels right.

When I led a ministry for moms of preschoolers, we hunted for an image to describe the unending demands that mothers experience. Changing diapers. Wiping noses. Picking up toys. It turns out the image was right in front of us: a disposable juice box, collapsed in on itself. Moms can feel like empty juice boxes. That ministry served moms by leading them to the Source of living water that can fill them to the full—Jesus. In John 7, Jesus went to the Festival of Tabernacles (v. 12), commemorating God’s provision during the Israelites’ wilderness wanderings. This festival included a water-pouring rite symbolizing the fruitfulness that only moisture produces and foreshadowed the spiritual rain the Messiah would bring. Jesus fulfills what the ancient festival anticipated. “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (vv. 37-38). At times, we can feel like empty containers. Weary from caregiving. Worn from working. Exhausted by everyday responsibilities. The unending demands draw us dry! But when we live in relationship with God, He provides springs of living water within our heart to refresh and refuel us no matter how many cares and concerns try to drain us.

Senior leaders, C-suite executives, and business owners are succeeding at unprecedented levels—yet many are silently battling stress, burnout, anxiety, and disordered boundaries.In this powerful episode, Jahmaal Marshall speaks directly to high-performing leaders who feel exhausted behind the scenes and have normalized overwhelm as “the cost of success.”This is not a conversation about productivity hacks or time management. It's an invitation to uncover the subconscious beliefs driving overfunctioning, chronic stress, and emotional depletion, and to introduce a sustainable, measurable path forward.If you've ever thought:“I can't slow down-too many people depend on me.”“Rest feels uncomfortable or unproductive.”“I'm successful, but I'm not at peace.”This episode was created for you.To get into direct contact with Jahmaal Marshall click HERE: Let's go into the remainder of this year into the next with momentum that last.

It's Friday, December 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Canadian pastor released from prison with gag order Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer has been released from prison in Calgary, Alberta on strict conditions as he is still serving his one-year house arrest and two-year probation for objecting to a Drag Queen Story Hour for little kids in a 90-second, peaceful conversation with Saddletowne Library Manager Shannon Slater. Reimer is not allowed to use any form of social media. Plus, leftist government officials have actually restricted him from attending the Street Church in Calgary and The Remnant Church in Red Deer because his parole officer is scared he will “rally up the mob.” Pastor Artur Pawlawski of Street Church told The Worldview, “Pastor Reimer has been totally muzzled by the Canadian courts. He has been prohibited from talking with anyone including his family, his friends, churchgoers, or reporters. It's a total, Soviet-style gag order. If he talked to anyone about what is happening he will go straight back to prison.” Pawlawski knows first-hand about these kind of oppressive government tactics. He said, “I grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Communists muzzled the public.  If you dared to expose them by telling the truth, they would do a show trial, imprison you, and torture you. “ Not surprisingly, the Canadian judge insisted that any Biblical objection to the sinful lifestyle of transgenders and homosexuals on the part of Pastor Reimer would qualify as “hate speech.” Calgary Pastor Shawn Hamm said, “The courts in Alberta are corrupt and they have been turned into a political circus! The judicial system can use ‘hurt feelings' in the province of Alberta to try to silence Christians on our biblical beliefs. They are doing their best to silence Pastor Derek, but they cannot silence all of us!” Hamm added, “The Drag Queen Story Hour that is happening all across Canada must be exposed for what it is -- pervert grooming sessions that are happening in public spaces!” Learn more and help with Pastor Reimer's legal defense at www.SavePastorDerek.com. Jeffress: “None of the government's business” what pastors preach On Wednesday, Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas had a message for  a White House religious liberty panel. JEFFRESS: “What I preach from the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, or any pastor preaches from his church is none of the government's business.” (clapping) In testimony before the U.S. Department of Justice's Religious Liberty Commission, Jeffress shared their experience with the Internal Revenue Service during a controversial church tax inquiry in 2021 under former President Joe Biden. Jeffress' statement to the Commission included comments he initially shared with his congregation on Sunday, in which he recounted how the atheist legal organization Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint with the IRS after former Vice President Mike Pence and then-HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson shared their faith testimonies of “how they came to know Jesus as Savior” at Jeffress' church in June 2020.  Jeffress said, “It's interesting that we did not hear anything from the IRS for 11 months. Then, four months after Joe Biden became president, on May 6, 2021, the IRS informed our church that they were initiating an inquiry into the tax-exempt status of our church because of our patriotic service.” He added that he does not endorse candidates from the pulpit, but “we encourage Christians to vote their biblical conviction.” Ironically, on November 1, 2020, the same day he addressed his church about the presidential race, President Biden was speaking at the Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, where the former president and the church's pastor “openly encouraged members to vote for Biden while both men were standing in front of a campaign banner in the church.” Jeffress noted, “When we pointed out the contrast to the IRS between our non-endorsement policy and this church's flagrant disregard for the Johnson Amendment, the IRS officials conducting the examination had no response.” While the inquiry lasted more than a year, the IRS eventually acknowledged in July 2022 that First Baptist Dallas “did not engage in any improper political intervention or violate the U.S. tax code.”  Despite the favorable outcome, Jeffress said he wanted to testify before the Commission because while First Baptist Dallas could afford the legal fees, most churches could not — nor, he said, should they have to do so. Elon Musk affirms belief in Creator On The Katie Miller Podcast, billionaire Elon Musk revealed that he looks up to the Creator at the 12:37-mark of a nearly hour-long conversation, reports The Christian Post. MILLER: “Who do you look up to the most?” MUSK: “The Creator.” MILLER: “What's your current position on God?” MUSK: “God is the Creator.” MILLER: “You don't believe in God, though, do you?” MUSK: “Well, I believe those this universe came for something. People have different labels.” The comments from the Tesla and SpaceX founder are the latest in his publicly evolving views on God and faith. In response to a tweet from a user on X urging him to confess a Creator in May 2022, Musk wrote: "Thank you for the blessing, but I'm OK with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there." Describing the reality of hell, Jesus said to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"  (Matthew 25:41) Subsequently, in 2025, Musk urged his millions of X followers to go to church following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th.  He also attended Kirk's memorial in Glendale, Arizona on September 21st. 17 pro-lifers arrested for blocking Memphis Planned Parenthood abortion mill And finally, ten men and seven women spent a night in a Memphis jail on December 5th, after staging a peaceful protest in front of the Memphis, Tennessee Planned Parenthood abortion mill, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The protest was organized by “Rescue Resurrection,” a pro-life group planning “rescue” actions across the country. Those arrested included well-known figures in the pro-life movement: Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue; Joan Andrews Bell, a longtime pro-life advocate; Terrisa Bukovinac, director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising; Nathan Berning, director of Let Them Live; and Dr. Monica Miller of Citizens for Life, among others. Exhausted from spending a sleepless night in an over-crowded holding cell with no beds, Randall Terry said that “this is a very small price to pay to stand up for the babies.” Video footage of the arrests captured by journalist Ford Fischer shows Terry, Bell, and other pro-life protesters being dragged away by police, because they went limp, before being transported to jail.  And there is video of Joan Andrews Bell, a sernior citizen, being carried away by three Memphis Police Officers.

If you have been waking up tired, feeling mentally foggy, disconnected from yourself, or drained for no clear reason, this episode is going to land deep. This is not random burnout. This is the exhaustion that shows up right before a major identity shift or timeline jump, and most people misunderstand the symptoms.  In this episode, Tiffany breaks down the real reason your energy feels inconsistent, why you can't access your old motivation, and why your nervous system is pulling you inward even when your mind is telling you to push harder. This is the hidden phase between timelines where your old identity collapses and your next timeline begins forming.  You will learn how to recognize the specific signs of a timeline jump, how to interpret exhaustion as an identity shift, and how to turn this season into a power shift without forcing yourself or getting stuck waiting for clarity. If you are navigating a timeline shift, an energetic upgrade, or a season where nothing feels normal, this is the episode you need.    RESOURCES MENTIONED:  !!LAST CHANCE!! to apply this year: My Exclusive 2-Month Private Business Coaching Program APPLY HERE (*serious applicants only please)  Join the famous ProjectME Posse Business & Money Coaching Membership HERE  {FREE GIFT-LIMITED TIME} Walk into Your Wealthiest Season walking manifestation series + Guided Wealth Journal GET IT HERE    CONNECT WITH TIFF:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse Digest     In this episode, you will learn:  • Why exhaustion is one of the first signs of a timeline jump

  • How to tell the difference between burnout and integration
  • How nervous system fatigue is connected to manifestation  • Why your old timeline becomes impossible to sustain  • How to take aligned action when you feel tired
  • How small identity-led decisions create quantum momentum
  • Why your system is   rejecting old patterns and expectations
  • How to turn this exhaustion into forward movement instead of spiraling    This is the truth behind the exhaustion so many people are feeling right now. It is not a setback. It is the beginning of your power shift, and this episode shows you exactly how to navigate it with clarity, self-compassion, and forward momentum. 

You're not exhausted because you're failing.You're exhausted because you've been living by a gospel God never wrote.In this episode, Allyson pulls back the curtain on The Pressure Gospel — the silent belief system that convinces high-capacity leaders that exhaustion = obedience, productivity = worthiness, and burnout = holiness.You'll learn:how pressure gets spiritualizedthe hidden rules that run your life without permissionthe signs you're obeying expectations instead of Godthe difference between pressure-driven identity and Spirit-led claritywhat God actually designed through Sabbath, seasons, and sacred restthe four shifts Obedient Rebels make to break free and breathe againIf today's episode stirs something inside you — if you feel God nudging you toward a new way of living — you're not imagining it.

A deeply clarifying conversation about fear, faith, and how Christians can reclaim a healthier way of engaging in public life. In this ICYMI release, Corey revisits his thoughtful and timely dialogue with Curtis Chang—public theologian, founder of Redeeming Babel, and co-creator (with David French, Dr. Russell Moore and Nancy French) of The After Party, a project devoted to healing the political fractures tearing churches and friendships apart. Curtis explains why so much of our modern polarization isn't actually about facts, but untended anxiety posing as conviction. He lays out how Christians can cultivate moral confidence without moral combat, why conspiracy theories often function as emotional painkillers, and what it looks like to move from combatant, cynic, or exhausted bystander toward the spiritual posture of a disciple. If you're new to TP&R thanks to Podbean, Overcast, or a friend's recommendation, this conversation is a grounded, hopeful entry point into what we're about.

2025 is the Year of the Snake. 2026? The Year of the Fire Horse.  If you're familiar about Chinese zodiac symbolism, you know what that means: the Snake sheds what no longer fits. The Fire Horse charges forward with unstoppable momentum.  But here's the thing: you can't ride the Fire Horse into 2026 while still carrying 2025's dead weight.  This episode is about what needs to be shed now, before the year turns.  IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARE:  The symbolism of Snake and Fire Horse years: and what they're asking of us right now.  What a death cycle actually looks like (from someone living it): why you can't 'positive mindset' your way through and what to do instead.  The difference between shedding and suppressing: one creates space for growth, the other just buries what will resurface later.  A December ritual for intentional release: specific steps you can take this month to shed what's keeping you small, stuck, or performing.  Why 'not enough', shame, and old survival strategies have to go: and what becomes possible when you finally release them.  The gift of radical permission: why The Selfish Year is the book to give yourself (or someone you love) this holiday season.  What's coming in 2026: a hint at something I'm creating for women ready to make next year their Selfish Year  IF YOU'RE FEELING:  The tightness of an old identity that doesn't fit anymore  Exhausted by maintaining 'impressive'  Ready to stop carrying what's dead  Curious about what 2026 could look like if you actually chose yourself  ....this episode is for you.  RESOURCES MENTIONED:  Read the full essay: What a Death Cycle Actually Looks Like (from someone living it)  Get the book: The Selfish Year - perfect for gifting yourself and your friends permission this Christmas  Choose your 2026 word: Are you claiming SELFISH as your guiding intention for next year?

Rest is not the same as restoration, and your nervous system can feel the difference. If you're exhausted from “getting through the day,” this conversation is for you. In this episode, Tara, Maria, and Elizabeth unpack the difference between rest, relaxation, and true restoration and why your nervous system desperately needs all three.

In this episode: Understand the crucial difference between rest, relaxation, and restoration—and why only one truly rebuilds your capacity for “vigor and health.” Recognize the signs of a depleted nervous system and how distraction and over-responsibility keep you stuck in survival mode. Learn how time and energy function as boundaries, and why saying “no” (even to your kids) can be a powerful act of self-respect. Get practical ideas for creating restorative rituals that fit into real life, from simple shower routines to mindset shifts and reframes.

Are You Spiritually Exhausted? | Pastor Todd Coconato    Website: www.PastorTodd.org   To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   Are you spiritually exhausted, weary in well doing, or feeling like your fire has been dimmed in this intense hour. On today's Todd Coconato Show we are talking about how to fight spiritual exhaustion and be refreshed in the presence of the Lord. The Bible tells us, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9 NKJV). Jesus invites us, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NKJV). Isaiah reminds us that God “gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength” (Isaiah 40:29 NKJV), and that those who wait on the Lord “shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV).   We are going to talk about how to cast your cares on Him, how to be filled again with the Holy Spirit, and how to stand strong in this challenging season without burning out. This is a word for you today. Tune in right now.

Children as young as 12 can legally work on California's farms, picking strawberries and pruning blueberry bushes along with a host of other physically demanding jobs. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Robert J. Lopez spoke with 61 children who work in the fields of the Salinas, Santa Maria, San Joaquin and Pajaro valleys. They described unsafe and unsanitary conditions, extreme heat — and a fear of speaking up, because they can't afford to lose their jobs. Lopez reports that in California, “enforcement of child labor laws has been inconsistent, the number of workplace safety inspections and citations issued to employers have dropped and repeat offenders were not fined for hundreds of violations of pesticide safety laws.” He joins us to share his reporting, and how the state is responding to it. Guests: Erica Diaz-Cervantes, senior policy advocate, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) - an organization committed to social, economic, and environmental justice for working-class and immigrant communities in California's Central Coast; former underage farmworker Robert J. Lopez, Pulitzer prize-winning independent journalist, and fellow at the McGraw Center for Business Journalism; his reporting is titled “California's child farmworkers: Exhausted, underpaid and toiling in toxic fields” and “Lax oversight, few inspections leave child farmworkers exposed to toxic pesticides” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the number one challenge facing families today: exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and burnout. He explains the three stages of subluxation—the root cause behind why families feel "wound up and worn out at the same time." Dr. Tony reveals how stress during pregnancy, birth interventions, and sympathetic nervous system dominance create a cascade effect that leads to everything from infant colic to ADHD in children, and adrenal fatigue to autoimmune disorders in parents. Most importantly, he explains how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms, helping families get their energy, focus, and health back online.

Together Kati and I discuss what a fawn response is,  the deeper reasons why we fawn or people-please and the emotional cost it takes on us.You'll learn:Why people pleasing begins as a survival strategyWhy rebuilding self worth is about changing patternsWhat your inner critic is trying to protect you fromHow to spot patterns that lead to burnout and resentmentWhy confidence grows through small acts of self trustThe difference between guilt and false guilt in boundary settingHow somatic practices support healing and resiliencePractical tools to regulate stress and shift old patternsIf you're in a season of personal growth, or if you're tired of feeling exhausted, overlooked, or in cycles of self-doubt, this episode will offer compassion, clarity, and a path home to yourself.Tune in.

You know you're an empath. Months into Reiki practice,you're more drained than ever. Absorbing clients' energy. Exhausted after sessions. Wondering if you're actually cut out for this.Here's what nobody tells you: being told you're giftedwithout being taught how to be empowered within that gift isactually a trap. And mainstream Reiki - despite often well meaning intentions - locks you deeper inside it.In this episode, we're naming the gap that's burning outsensitive, empathic, intuitive Reiki practitioners everywhere. Why "select few" thinking keeps you powerless. Why grounding between clients isn't enough. And most importantly - what actually shifts you from trapped empath toempowered Reiki practitioner.This is the conversation that changes culture. 5 things you'll discover by the end of this episode:The Hidden Hierarchy Built Into Spiritual Training -Why being told you're "special" actually gives your power away to external validation (and how to reclaim it)Why Mainstream Reiki Makes Empathic Practitioners BleedEnergy - The specific gap between Reiki attunement and energetic protection that leaves you absorbing clients' "stuff"The Difference Between Being a Hollow Bone vs. Being aSponge - The mechanics of working with energy without becoming a storage unit for everyone else's emotional & energetic materials.How Personal Power & Reiki Energy Are Distinct (ButWork Together) - Why understanding this distinction transforms both your own practice and the healing you offer clientsThe Sovereignty Shift That Changes Things -The 5point framework to move mainstream Reiki away from training that traps empaths to empowering them.Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathwayFree on demand workshop Lifting the Veil on Reiki: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reikiFree community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-communityYou'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined & Instagram same handle.

Exhausted from late diagnosed autism masking as an adult? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats with Wendela Whitcomb Marsh (Dr. Wendy), award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and US Autism Association board member, on neurodivergent self-acceptance, workplace accommodations, and advocacy for high-masking autistic adults—especially women/girls/trans/ND folks. After 40 years in special ed/psychology, Dr. Wendy founded (and sold) Adult Autism Assessment & Services, drawing from her autistic family (late husband + 2/3 adult kids). Her Adulting While Autistic series (Independent Living, Dating, Relating, Parenting, Working While Autistic) and SWAN Church (Scripture & Worship for All Neurotypes) empower underserved voices. Key insights: Adult vs. child autism: Masking hides symptoms (e.g., routines for eye contact/socializing); exhaustion from "faking normal." Late-dx challenges: Women/trans/non-binary often missed (3-6x overlap with autism); bullying/shame leads to self-doubt. Workplace/family support: Frame needs as productivity wins (e.g., noise-canceling headphones/WFH); believe autistic voices—no "faking." Clinician tips: Read autistic authors, seek ND-affirming pros; self-ID valid if no paper needed (for disability/accommodations). Advocacy ahead: Boa constrictor squeeze (hard times)—stay safe, speak out; churches need inclusivity (SWAN as model). For autistic young adults unmasking or parents advocating, Dr. Wendy's optimism shines: "Nothing wrong with you—world's not built for you."

In this episode, Claudia sits down with Tonya Romano, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and co-coach inside The Perimenopause Method, to talk about her personal journey into menopause - a few years earlier than expected. From losing her period in her 40s to discovering the power of functional testing, nutrition, weight training, and hormone therapy, Tonya's story will resonate with any woman wondering if what she's feeling is "normal."    We covered: The early signs Tonya experienced that hinted something was off What it was like going through menopause in her 40s How her doctor didn't give any solution other than hormonal birth control  How a functional approach to health helped improve her symptoms The mindset shifts and lifestyle changes that helped her feel like herself again How she navigated HRT and finding the right provider What she wishes more women did to prepare for menopause How her experience shapes her work with clients inside The Perimenopause Method   CONNECT WITH TONYA: Website Instagram   [ WATCH ON YOUTUBE ] BLACK FRIDAY SALE EXTENDED!   Save $100 on a Perimenopause Clarity Session with me - a focused, personalized way to help you understand what's really going on in your body.

Holy moly, this convo with Dr Libby lit me up like a kid on red cordial. Every time she’s on the show I swear my brain grows three sizes and suddenly wants to eat more iron. We covered everything from perimenopause mayhem to the way adrenaline hijacks our days, to why half of us are out here living like exhausted, over-stimulated, iron-deficient potatoes. And honestly, Libby is so bloody good at weaving science with soul (#SeeWhatIDidThere) that I find myself wanting to text every woman I know and go “hey babe, get your ferritin checked.” We talked about winter blues, our fried nervous systems, the addiction to being ‘fine,’ the privilege of being alive, and the tiny practices that actually change our chemistry. It was deep, honest, hilarious, and wildly grounding.If you want less chaos, more energy, a calmer brain and a reminder you’re not broken... this one’s a must-listen.

Practice ownership comes with a unique paradox: the autonomy you fought for also means carrying the full weight of clinical work, business management, and leadership. In this episode, Tracy breaks down the World Health Organization's three-phase burnout framework and reveals why nearly half of all physicians are experiencing burnout symptoms—and what makes practice owner burnout distinctly different and dangerous.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The WHO's three phases of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy—and why recognizing which phase you're in determines what help you need  Why American culture makes Phase 1 exhaustion nearly impossible to recognize (hint: we've been conditioned to see depletion as a badge of honor)  The shocking global statistics: from 43% burnout rates in the US to 66% emotional exhaustion among Portuguese physicians  Why practice owner burnout can't be solved with employed physician solutions—you can't "delegate up" when you ARE the up  Real examples of what each phase looks like: from sitting in your driveway without energy to enter your home, to thinking cynical thoughts that horrify you  The $4.6 billion annual cost of physician burnout to the US healthcare system—and the incalculable personal cost to you, your practice, and your family  Why autonomy alone isn't enough: the protection it provides versus the isolation and weight it creates  Memorable Quotes  "Burnout is not a personal failing. It's a predictable occupational phenomenon with identifiable phases."  "Phase one exhaustion is your prevention opportunity. This is where you still have an easy exit ramp. If you catch yourself and actually address it—not by doubling down, but by making strategic changes—prevention strategies actually work."  "You can't think your way out of cynicism using the same thinking that got you there."  "Your practice will survive a few weeks without you, but you might not survive continuing to push through phase three."  "When you're the owner, you can't just leave. Your practice is your livelihood, your investment, and your legacy."  "You are not broken. You are not weak. You are responding predictably to chronic stress that hasn't been successfully managed."  Closing  Understanding burnout isn't about labeling yourself—it's about getting clear on what level of support you actually need. Whether you're in the prevention zone, need intervention, or are facing a crisis, there's a path forward. Join us next episode as we dive into the strategic prevention approaches that work specifically for independent practice owners.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

Time freedom is the real flex — not hustle, not burnout, not the “rise and grind” culture we've all been conditioned to recreate. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact mindset shifts, systems, and personal realizations that allowed me to grow a multi–six-figure online business… while working anywhere from 5 to 20 hours a week. Inside this episode, I dive into: ✨ The moment I realized time—not money—is our most valuable currency ✨ How motherhood cracked me open and changed how I work forever ✨ Why hustle culture keeps you broke, burnt out, and chasing the wrong things ✨ How to identify the tasks that actually move the needle in your business ✨ The guilt cycle: why high-achieving women struggle to rest ✨ My 4-Step SHINE Time Visibility System (so you never need to live on social again) ✨ Why working less made me more profitable than working harder ever did If you're craving more income, more freedom, more presence with your people — without sacrificing your health, joy, or sanity — this episode is your permission slip.

Get 40% off at Little Things Studio - SHOP NOW    I'm about to say something that might make you want to tune out: you don't need balance. You don't. What you need is clarity and courage. You need to stop measuring your life against some invisible checklist that was never yours to begin with. Balance is a myth, and it's keeping too many of us stuck, exhausted, and chasing something that doesn't exist. I know the dream of balance sounds good, but here's the truth: you don't have a balance problem—you have an expectation problem. Today, we're going to break that myth wide open and build something better. Something that actually leads to peace, purpose, and sanity. Here's what nobody tells you about balance: it's often a trauma response disguised as productivity. It's our attempt to control everything so we don't feel like we're failing at anything. But friend, you weren't created to juggle it all. You were designed to live with intention. To honor the seasons. To walk in the beautiful rhythm of a life led by purpose, not pressure.   Timestamps: (00:29) - Balance Is a Myth: The Lie That's Keeping Women Stuck and Exhausted (03:29) - Why “Balance” Is Broken (and What It's Really Costing You) (06:39) - God Calls You To Be Faithfully Aligned with His Purposes (06:55) - How Life-Giving Rhythms Bring More Peace Than Balance Ever Could (08:32) - Practical Steps to Build Rhythms That Restore Your Sanity and Strengthen Your Faith   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Product Recommendation - Acid League Toasted Thai Coconut Living Vinaigrette Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

What if the burnout, overwhelm, and self-sacrifice so many women carry isn't personal failure, but evidence of a system that was never designed for them? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Melissa Sonners, Women's Mind-Body Alignment Expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 783, to reveal why women aren't meant to live in the constant grind, why true feminine power lives in being instead of doing, and how self-care, intuition, and cyclical alignment can rebuild a woman's health from the inside out.

Montgomery, commanding ground forces for D-Day, gave a "scintillating" and persuasive briefing on his revised Overlord plan. He set objectives in Normandy, like capturing Caen, that were perhaps beyond the means of his exhausted British troops, worsening his relationship with American generals. Montgomery's Operation Market Garden failed to achieve its objectives; the absence of his trusted chief of staff, Freddy Duingan, removed a critical checks and balances system. Rommel showed moral courage by standing up to Hitler in June 1944, arguing the war was over and negotiations were necessary. Patton's swift repositioning of his Third Army to relieve Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge was his finest hour, surprising both allies and Germans.
