This week, we're diving DEEP into some real talk that Blackwomen (and honestly, everybody) need to hear: ✅ The Power of “No” — Inspired byMichelle Obama, we're reclaiming our peace by setting boundaries without guilt.✅ Faith Without Cancellation —Disagreements in the church? They should lead to real dialogue, not division.✅ Purpose Reimagined — Yourpurpose isn't about meeting society's standards; it's about personal growth andauthentic living.✅ Trusting God, Even When YouQuestion Him — Faith and questions can coexist. Trust the journey.✅ Media & Faith — How what wewatch and listen to shapes our views of God, community, and even ourselves.✅ Identity Check — We are morethan our church roles. We are multifaceted, complex, and fully known by God. We're also breaking down lessons from the film 'Sinners' —navigating community dynamics, holding everyone accountable (without idolizingthem), and staying grounded in who you are.

Do you see current societal trends as part of a deeper spiritual struggle?4. The Role of Culture in Faith – How can individuals and communities work to build a culture of life that promotes what is true, good and beautiful? 5.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 720 Could ignoring your emotions be the hidden barrier keeping you stuck and disconnected from your true potential? Rick William, Emotional Intelligence Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 720, to unpack why most of us were never taught how to process our feelings and how this unconscious avoidance can fuel anger and shape our relationships, and how intentionally facing your vulnerabilities, setting up internal boundaries, and curating simple daily practices can open the door to your most authentic self. "If we don't have the capacity to feel a sense of love and connection to ourselves and to one another, that's the neurochemistry of suffering. And that neurochemistry of suffering is what leads us to reach and grab for whatever it might be to. Whether it's too much food or too much sex." - Rick William

Stephanie here! I have often found that, when I'm discouraged, or when I struggle to see things from the perspective that God might have on a situation, a relationship, maybe my own heart, I find it so useful to dig into Scripture and look at the stories of people in Scripture who may have experienced something similar. I also find that, beyond Scripture, it is useful to look at the lives of faithful men and women in history, saints who have really clung to God, and who have experienced so much of his goodness, his holiness, his beauty, his faithfulness, his kindness, his generosity. I love to spend time through biographies of these people of faith. I'm looking forward to meeting them in heaven and learning from them even more. Which means,  I love when a new book comes out that invites me to do just that. And the book Portrait of God by Jack Mooring does just that. I'm welcoming Jack today. And he experienced the same thing that I'm describing to you. His book is a bit of a guidebook. It uses the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine, Fanny Crosby, and so many more, to help us, believers, find stability in our faith amidst the chaos of this world. He and I chat about the fact that this world is pretty chaotic right now. This book and this conversation hope to be one of the tools that equips us in this ever-changing turbulent world we live in. Now, to recognize God's goodness in the midst of chaos, well, I know it can be challenging. Our faith can so often seem like a roller coaster as a result of that. Jack says, “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering. I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us, forgetful people, that this is God whom we love and he really is who he says he is.” MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “PORTRAIT OF GOD In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant. Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths. Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God. “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering,” writes Mooring. “I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes.” Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait.

- JOHN STREGE: "The Intersection of Sports and Faith - How it Can Shape the Culture for the Kingdom!"

Welcome to another episode of "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." Today, we're diving deep into understanding how the Holy Spirit communicates God's will and guidance for our futures. Anchored in John 16:13, we explore the profound truth that the Spirit of truth not only dwells within us but also imparts wisdom about what lies ahead.Our springboard for today's discussion is: "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will tell you about the future." - JOHN 16:13The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in our spiritual journey, not as a fortune teller but as a divine guide who provides insights into God's plans for us. This guidance isn't about revealing every detail of our futures but about empowering us to make decisions aligned with God's will. The Spirit's revelations are given not to satisfy curiosity but to strengthen our faith and direct our paths in alignment with God's overarching purposes.Steps That You Can Take:* Cultivate a Listening Habit:* How to do it: Set aside a specific time each day for prayer and meditation, focusing on listening rather than speaking. Use a journal to record any insights or directions you feel the Spirit is imparting.* Why it matters: Regularly tuning in to the Spirit's voice helps us become more attuned to His subtle whispers, making it easier to distinguish His guidance from our thoughts.* Test and Confirm the Guidance:* How to do it: Measure what you believe the Spirit is telling you against Scripture and the counsel of spiritually mature mentors. Ensure that any direction received aligns with biblical truths and the character of God.* Why it matters: This step prevents deception and self-deception, grounding our understanding of the Spirit's messages in the solid foundation of God's Word.* Act in Faith:* How to do it: Take small, practical steps towards implementing the guidance you've received. Start with actions that have minimal risk to build confidence in your ability to hear from God.* Why it matters: Faith without action is dead (James 2:17). Acting on the Spirit's guidance confirms our trust in God and often leads to greater revelations as we prove faithful in little things.Conclusion: The Holy Spirit is not a distant, mysterious force; He is an active and present guide in our lives, eager to lead us into all truth, including truths about our future. By learning to listen to and act on the Spirit's guidance, we step into a dynamic, faith-filled life that continually aligns more closely with God's will.Call to Action: This week, challenge yourself to follow these three steps. Begin each day by asking the Holy Spirit to guide you, and end it by reflecting on any new insights or confirmations you received. Let's grow in our confidence that God speaks to us through His Spirit.Question of the Day: What is one area of your life where you need clarity about the future, and how can you actively seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in that area?Let's Pray: Father God, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be sensitive to His whispers and courageous in following His guidance. Teach us to discern His voice clearly and to trust in Your perfect plans for our lives. As we seek Your will, may we be filled with the peace and assurance that only comes from You. Amen.Thank you for joining us today on "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." Remember, the Spirit is speaking—are you listening? Keep seeking His voice, and may your steps be firmly planted in the path He has for you.

How often do we cling to the familiar simply because it makes sense to us and is logical?”  In this episode of the She Impacts Culture podcast, we explore how to move beyond comfort and predictability to embrace the change God's calling brings. Today's episode is all about Beyond Logic & Embracing Change.Today, Jen is specifically chatting through:Logical Thinking vs. Faith: How does logical thinking sometimes hinder us from stepping into uncertain opportunities that God calls us to?Clinging to Comforts: Identifying the good things in life (job, home, etc.) that can become comfortable crutches, preventing us from accepting God's calling into a new season of life.Faith Over Familiarity: How can faith give us confidence to move forward even when we don't have a clear view of the destination?Friends, God's calling often leads us beyond what's comfortable and familiar. Embracing faith over logical thinking allows us to step into the opportunities He has prepared for us, even when they challenge our sense of predictability. If you're feeling the tension between clinging to comforts and following God's calling, I encourage you to listen to this episode, reflect on your relationship with change, and boldly trust that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Reflection QuestionsWhat good thing are you holding onto that might prevent you from experiencing God's greater blessings?Is there a familiar comfort or success that you find hard to let go of, even though God may be calling you to something new?Is logical thinking keeping you from stepping into what God is calling you to, simply because it doesn't make sense to you?Can you give up what's predictable, sensible, logical, and good for what God is calling you to?Nathan Metz: The Other Side of the Lake Sermon: https://youtu.be/a-VYHm5HaA8?si=1nPzKXD3fkKxt1Qg Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

There's actually a one-for-one energetic vibrational frequency connection to how we feel within ourselves, the things that we're choosing, and the effect that the things we choose, have on our body or consciousness." - Ronnie Landis The Addiction Symptoms "We live in a culture that values stimulation, overwhelm, and stress. These are things that are symptoms of a deep problem that we are starting to acknowledge but nobody really knows what to do about it because we're also addicted to the compounds, the substances, and the patterns that produce the symptoms themselves." - Ronnie Landis Addiction Probability "The probability of something becoming addictive is how much dopamine it produces and how easily accessible it is to you in any given moment." - Ronnie Landis Dopamine + Anticipation of The Experience "Dopamine is produced as an anticipation for a future event. You get dopamine from the anticipation of a particular experience that's posed in the future. But once you have the experience, that dopamine baseline goes down. You get a little bit of a hit upon the moment of arrival but then the more you do it, the less of the pleasure you get, and then you need to do more of it to keep the dopamine baseline steady." - Ronnie Landis Links From Today's Show  Ronnie Landis W+W 349 Ronnie Landis | Rethinking Veganism: The 10 Year Journey Back Home W+W 122 The Truth About Nutrients – Ronnie Landis The Addiction Free Lifestyle by Ronnie Landis Gabor Maté A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Richard Rudd 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Every single cell needs NAD+. It's what you're doing to transfer energy into a cell from the mitochondria and get each cell to work properly. If our building blocks, our cells, are not working because they don't have the energy, we definitely won't have the energy to go through with normal life, normal functions, with being truly healthy. - Caspar Szulc Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

Why biohacking is where modern medicine should be. [16:05] Why The Health Care System Doesn't Work Conscious medicine: why Caspar would change medical education approach to improve the health care system. Unpacking why our health care system truly is a disease care management. How the business side runs the medical care more than the human side. Why doctors should put the patient first. Would people be interested in holistic health care? Gregg Braden Dr. Bruce Lipton How we learn to trust and let doctors be in charge of our health as kids. 543 Kelly Brogan MD | How to Love ALL Your Parts + Be Self-Sovereign [34:15] Rock Bottom: Find Your Vitality Again The gift of the pain of the pandemic in 2020.

Bacopa monnieri SaunaSpace - 10% off using code "JOSH10" Paul Chek: All Is God Power Quotes From The Show NAD+ as Brain Fuel "To give the brain proper energy levels that it needs to focus, concentrate, do all of the things it does within a day, let us breathe, we don't even know about half of it. It's happening without us doing anything. But it's taking up energy. You need to power the brain. NAD+ is probably the most critical element in powering the brain. If you look at it from that standpoint of "what do you need to have a productive day?" To have a day where you don't lack energy and mental clarity? All these things that so many people are facing right now. That's NAD+." - Caspar Szulc Your Diet + Lifestyle Should Matter to Doctors "Doctors don't believe nutrition as anything. That is not a factor at all. We've got drugs, we've got surgery, you're good. You don't need to talk to the patient even about their diet or their lifestyle. If you changed the educational system where doctors came out and started more on this functional basis of "tell me about you and what you're doing on a daily basis, I'll show you the results of the labs and we're going to meet in the middle somewhere." We're going to plan something where we start with lifestyle changes. We don't start with heavy drugs and cutting you open. Those are the last resorts. And if you look at medicine, that's their first resort. That's disease care medicine, that's not health care." - Caspar Szulc Biohacking vs Modern Medicine "I truly believe biohacking is just the difference between where medicine should be and just the starting point. What I mean by that is you usually biohack when you're healthy and get super healthy from it. Whereas in medicine you usually start at a sick point and you get to a healthier point." - Caspar Szulc Improving 1% Every Day Is Enough "If you made just 1% improvement every day for a year, at the end of the year, you'd be 37 times better as a whole because of that 1%. Don't think that you have to change so much in one day. Don't think if you can't sleep, you're eating poorly, you have these symptoms, and you're fatigued, that you need to change that within a month. The reality of the story is you've probably been leading up to that for years and years. So it's going to take some time to unravel. And that's ok." - Caspar Szulc Our Health + The Health of The World "We are the microbiome of the world. If we are unhealthy, the world is unhealthy. If we are unhealthy, we don't care that we use plastic everywhere and that we corrupt everything with chemicals. I don't want to put chemicals in my body. I won't give my money to people that produce chemicals. That's then going to the environment and kill it. We're part of the environment. We detach ourselves from nature. We're one and the same. You want to be an eco-warrior? Start with yourself, start with your health." - Caspar Szulc Links From Today's Show  Nadovim - 20% off with code "JOSH20" 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Main Passage: Exodus 20:16 D-Group Questions: TRUTH – Use 1 John 1:6 to connect lies and darkness. According to Ephesians 4:29, when are words good and true? REPENTANCE – When are you tempted to lie (John 3:19). Why would you repent in that area? FAITH – How does Ephesians 4:15 describe righteous speech? What would that look like in the area where you are tempted to lie? Pray for each other in this regard. RESPOND. Ask God, how can today's discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together. [Record responses and prayer requests.]

REVIEW: “What did you take away from last time?” [Refer to the things you discussed last time.] "How did that go?” Sermon Summary: Murder and anger are conquered through the absorption of forgiveness. Main Passage: Exodus 20:12 D-Group Questions: TRUTH – What is the difference between murder in general and homicide in particular? How does Jesus describe its root in Matthew 5:21-22?

What's on the other side of Death?  Danielle Slupesky came face-to-face with her own Mortality through a harrowing and prolonged medical crisis. She barely lived to tell the tale. In the midst of that crisis, she had a near-death experience that completely changed the trajectory of her life and her relationship with Death. Danielle is an End-of-Life Coach and a Death Doula based out of Albuquerque, NM. In this episode, she gives us a detailed first-hand account of her near-death experience and how it changed her.  Frankly, it's difficult to know where to file or categorize Danielle's experience. On the one hand, it would be reassuring if it fit neatly into my existing worldview or further supported it. But it doesn't do that, so for now it gets filed under "Unsolved Mysteries."  It's clear, though, that what remains a mystery to me has radically transformed Danielle. Its impact cannot be ignored. For that reason alone, her story is worth paying attention to. But there's more to Danielle's story that deserves our attention, including the importance of surrender, the perils of unconscious living, and how our bodies whisper messages that we need to hear and heed.  This conversation enlightened, challenged, and encouraged me. I hope it does the same for you.    Some Highlights From This Conversation Danielle “before and after” her encounter with Mortality and near-death experience The perils of “unconscious” living and how to live more consciously How to hear what our body is whispering to us about our mental and emotional wellbeing Danielle shares a detailed account of her near-death experience and how it changed her What Danielle considers most important today, after her encounter with mortality and near-death experience How an End-of-Life Coach can help you live more consciously today The role of the Death Doula in the 21st Century Tune in to the full episode for more…   The Graveyard Group: End-of-Life Coaching, Mastermind-style The Graveyard Group is like end-of-life coaching with the support of your very own confidential board of advisors. Harness the power of the Mortality Mindset to break free from the status quo, become the person you were made to be, and live the life you were made to live with guts, gusto, and abandon. As Danielle pointed out, when we bring our Mortality to the forefront of our awareness and begin planning for a conscious death, we automatically begin to lead more conscious lives.  New groups for men and women are forming now. To learn more, visit my website to schedule a free 1-1 coaching session with me, find me on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, or email me.    Let's Connect I can help you uncover what you really want and go after it with guts, gusto, and abandon.

"Exploring Dualities: An Overview Of White Hat/ Black Hat Narratives And Government Finance"Brandon and Lindsy welcome Michael Pewtress, also known as Enoch on social media. Michael has been researching the end times. Brandon wanted to hear his take on what's been going on in the world.

He has been researching the end times ever since, and he's excited to share his knowledge learned through difficult trials of life.

Instead of having this radical hormone flood, fight or flight, during a perceived negative event, you can look at the event without all of that emotional overhead.

Functional cranial release drops the default mode network, just like psychedelics do. You experience this balloon inflation. There's this very calm sensation people will experience. And so there's kind of a window for people to have emotions that will come up, being able to be objective or empathetic towards those emotions. So there's a lot of utility for not just treating the brain and neurological conditions, but also with mental, emotional, spiritual applications. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

"Limbic isolations are really really important because they either synchronize or asynchronize a whole wealth of pathways on the brainstems that keep us healthy and vital. And when we don't have that, it shuts it all down, so a lot of people might find they have a lot of anxiety, and there can be a lot of neurological confusion that happens with the brain." - Dr. John Lieurance   Releasing Hidden Fears "We carry a lot of fears that are based on thoughts that we believe are true like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I'm not loved.' What might be covering that up are thoughts like, 'My father doesn't respect me' or 'I'm going to be late for this appointment and they'll be made.' Those thoughts are covering up all of these hidden fears that we all carry and when you start to get into psychedelics or breathwork or even this endonasal treatment that I do, they take us back to a calm state and help us let go of those fears as they de-regulate our default mode network."- Dr. John Lieurance   Holding The Breath = Holding The Trauma "When we hold our breath, that's the veil. You have trauma, you hold your breath, it's going to push it into the subconscious. It's going to be there and it's going to control you in a way that's probably not going to be positive and create suffering." - Dr. John Lieurance   Links From Today's Show  Ultimate Cellular Reset RUNGA 436  Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 468 Joseph Anew | Becoming an Intuitive Warrior: Developing Courage to Face Obstacles + Why Vibrant Health Starts in the Heart (RUNGA) It's All in Your Head: Endonasal Cranial Therapy by Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: Miracle Molecule by Dr. John Lieurance Weston A.

Living 4D with Paul Chek - Episode 6 – Danny Way: Inside the Life of a Legend Part 1 Power Quotes From The Show How Playing the Victim Makes Us Sick "There is a sick energy you get from being a victim and we're actually teaching children how to be victims in a very nefarious way right now. When you're a victim, you feel this negative energy and it's kind of addictive because it's validating and you get to feel special. We experience and pass on to younger generations today that there is a merit to being a victim but it turns out the next step in victimhood is to fight against something instead of working towards something else... ...In victimhood training, you will learn how to shift your mindset away from that toxic state of thinking and focus instead on the world that you want to live in, why you want to live in that world, and how to live in that world. It's amazing how tearing something down because it's not fair is so dirty compared to building something up and I think we have lost a lot of that in almost all psychology in popular culture." - Dave Asprey Why Beliefs Are Dangerous "A belief is a story that you tell yourself and it may or may not be true. Unfortunately, we are wired to usually believe in our own stories. I have legion power of self-deception - so do you and so does everyone else. Beliefs are actually dangerous because once you get a belief, they're infectious. If it's not an accurate belief you will possibly spend your entire life doing something based on that belief." - Dave Asprey Living a Life Focused on Human Performance "I don't know that I've ever really focused on wellness, ever. I do wake up and I say to myself, 'I want to feel well.' For me, I get lit up by being in a flow state and being in that feeling of awe, joy, and curiosity. For me, wellness is never up there. Wellness is something that's harder to feel if you don't already experience those feelings and flow state. I want my body to work flawlessly but it's okay if it doesn't. For me, I want to feel amazing and not necessarily feeling healthy needs to be a part of that. People get it wrong when they say I'm in the health and wellness industry; I'm not - I'm in the human performance industry." - Dave Asprey Links From Today's Show  Own an Upgrade Labs Danger Coffee Bulletproof 250 Building Bulletproof Emotional Intelligence: Dave Asprey 389 Dave Asprey | Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be 40 Years of Zen The 6 Phase Meditation Method BY Vishen Lakhiani David R.

Power Quotes From The Show [click_to_tweet tweet="There is some level of soul sickness in modern society today. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love. - Paul Austin of @thirdwaveishere" quote="There is some level of soul sickness in modern society today. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love. - Paul Austin of @thirdwaveishere"] How to Prepare Your Mindset for a Psychedelic Experience "What the mind might say before taking perhaps a higher dose of psychedelics could be, 'What if I have a bad trip?' or 'What if I lose my mind?' Often times these thoughts come down to set and setting or the mindset before and how we prepare for the experience. That's just a simple point of communication with yourself and you can remind yourself, 'Hey, challenging experiences happen. You are safe in this container... ...Do note and this is very important: you should not do a psychedelic if you are pre-disposed to schizophrenia or something similar. Assuming that has been vetted, these are more or less physiological safe substances and even if some thoughts or emotions come up in an experience." - Paul Austin Let Your Emotions Be Freely Expressed "If something comes up for you in a psychedelic experience, what you need to focus on is: Surrender, allow, accept, and breathe. Because often times the challenge that comes up in a psychedelic experience is when we try to block, suppress, or constrict when we really just need to allow all of these emotions that we normally repress: sadness, shame, anger or guilt to come to the surface." - Paul Austin How to Heal Our Soul Sickness with Unconditional Love "There's a sense of existential malaise and some level of soul sickness that we now have in Western society. It happens for us because the things that we've been conditioned to find value in from the house that we buy to the car that we drive to the trophy wife to the sports teams that we were stars of in high school have all been such a big part of the mainstream narrative but people are now understanding just how sick we are because of this... ...A lot of people will go into plant medicines or psychedelics because they have depression, PTSD, anxiety, or they're struggling with addiction. Sometimes they go into it because maybe they want to be a better parent or they want to be more creative or they want to be a better leader. Whatever the external thing is and what I often find, which is just as true for myself, is there is some level of soul sickness there that we're asking for help with. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love." - Paul Austin Links From Today's Show  Microdosing Mini Course Microdosing Psychedelics: A Practical Guide to Upgrade Your Life by Paul Austin The Third Wave Podcast Third Wave's Mushroom Grow Kit The Synthesis Institute RUNGA Feel Free by Botanic Tonics - Save 40% with code 'WELLNESS40' Joe Rogan Tim Ferriss Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge: A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution by Terence McKenna Tao Te Ching: The Book of the Way by Lao Tzu 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Mastering this skill is crucial in the story of humanity's present-future evolution. In cultivating this emerging framework, his vision is to help facilitate our society's transition from a competitive, zero-sum mindset to a collaborative, social entrepreneurial approach. One that re-integrates purpose and meaning into the workplace, establishing the truth of interconnectedness between our personal values and professional pursuits. It is his belief that psychedelics will act as a major technological tipping point in facilitating this transition, helping Western culture to step into a ‘new story' that is based on interconnectedness, abundance, and harmony. Healing with Microdosing Currently, he is a leading voice on the use of psychedelics for personal growth, creative insight, and professional transformation. As an early adopter of microdosing, a practice now widespread in tech and entrepreneurial circles, he landed on an inspiring vision to bridge the wisdom of plant medicines with the world of creativity and technology: When used with intention and reverence, plant medicines fundamentally shift the perspective of those in leadership positions, leading to harmony between personal well-being and professional success.

We're told in the USA that we're so divided... yet if you go to any sort of normal event in the country, everyone's not really having a problem at all with each other. This work has taken me to a lot of different places including inner-city America and that has been different. I never would have done that otherwise and it has been a big eye-opener. It has really helped me to understand those environments and where people are coming from a lot better. - Peter Santenello  Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

"There are some great journalists out there but as far as mainstream media, you know exactly what you're going to get in any topic. If it's the border, if you watch FOX or CNN, you know the story they're going to tell you with either one. With any current issue, you know exactly what's going to be delivered." - Peter Santenello On a Mission for Truth "Right now with the space that we're in with politics with our two parties, Republican and Democrat, there are usually about five main issues and if you fall out of line with one them, you're going to get ostracized quickly. If I go film at the Mexican border right now, I'll be called a Trumper -people will say, 'Oh! You're going to the border, you must be a Trump supporter.' But then if I go do a docu-series about Muslims in America, all of a sudden I'm like a 'woke' guy. I'm just interested in the story and the truth; I don't really fit into either of the categories." - Peter Santenello How to Make a Difference in the World "I think putting forth your best effort and, personally for me, exploring the human condition as much as I can and adding to the world in a positive way is the way to live life. My mission is to put out content that after watching it makes a person go, 'Oh cool, I see this issue a different way now,' or 'This has left me in a better mood.' We're all gravitated toward certain news clips we come across on YouTube or social media and we want to watch them but afterward, they leave us off in a worse place energetically than before watching them. My goal is to be the opposite of that for people." - Peter Santenello Links From Today's Show  Peter Santenello on YouTube Official Website of Peter Santenello The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.

Ask yourself the right questions. Instead of asking yourself this unanswerable question all the time, 'Why them and not me? Why don't I have this? Why didn't I have this?' and using up all of your energy on the idea that life is just unfair ask yourself this: 'Do I want to be a victim all my life and sit around feeling sorry for myself?' Flip the switch and tell yourself, 'Okay, these were the cards that I was dealt. What can I do?' Place yourself back in the driver's seat and put that ball of empowerment back in your court. Take that kind of mentality and just run with it. You can do anything. - Liz Swail Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The moment Josh realized that having judgement about people with money and opportunities was actually blocking him from achieving those things as well.

Why our children serve a purpose of reminding us what life is all about in the end. How and why we have moved away from the importance of family because of our current society and government. Common roots of important pieces of history including communism and the Holocaust that all started with dividing families. Why Liz believes that we all have holes in our hearts right now that we need to fill ourselves with the love and light of spirituality, a Higher Power, or God - whatever you believe in to feel whole and help one stay grounded. How removing God or Higher Power and spiritual beliefs plus feeding people junk food along and keeping them sick while also dividing families also leads to people being easily controlled according to Liz.   [1:05:00] Building Powerful Connection Within Ourselves and with Our Partner How gender dysphoria and confusing children's psyche as young as four years old is priming them for the brokenness that will need to be healed as adults yet some never truly heal.

Paul Chek | All is God How Josh consciously chooses to be with Carrie and their son rather than allow thoughts about porn take over his control.   [1:12:30] The Evolving Wellness Journey + Cultivating Purpose Struggles Liz still faces today and that she is open about sharing with the world.

How she defines wellness and what living a life well looks like to her especially after her mother passed away.   Power Quotes From The Show Embracing the Whole Journey: Good Times + Bad Times "A society, we're in this pursuit of zero discomfort and instant gratification but without that contrast and journey we can't show up in an authentic way for other people. We can't show up in a powerful way for other people. If we can change that and allow ourselves to feel both the good and the bad, the comfort and discomfort so that we can be empowered." - Liz Swail   How to Control + Heal Fearful Thoughts "When you're fearful of something, you can't think of anything else. It's that inner questioning of 'What's going to happen if...?' and your brain is constantly spinning and spending energy on it. It's a waste because then you can't think of anything else like creating something bigger and better. So, recognize that fear when you feel it, don't be upset about it, and ask yourself why you're feeling afraid." - Liz Swail   Get Closer to Your Inner Child with Breathwork "What inner child ideas are coming up when you are afraid, angry, or anxious? Personally, I never understood or did inner child work until I tried holotropic breathing. I sobbed like I never did before and I could see myself at 5 and 7 being hurt by other people. That helped me to say to my inner child, 'I'm so sorry that happened to you little Liz,' and recognize how some fear had manifested in me from a very young age. When you act a certain way like snapping at your spouse it is almost always related to a fear." - Liz Swail   Links From Today's Show  Liz Swail RUNGA 400 Cal Callahan | The Great Unlearn: How To Find Your Purpose & Redefine Success The Map of Consciousness Explained by David R.

Liz had a complicated journey into the health and wellness space, as growing up she experienced a turbulent home life, disordered eating, suicidal thoughts, and poverty. Childhood: comparing the “then” and “now” of her life, touching on how she transformed her own health by making changes over time. The benefits of giving up gluten and alcohol, and the long-term benefits that you'll see if you invest time and effort into your weightlifting regime.

Liz says that her Christian faith plays in her life and encourages listeners to find a higher power so that they're not the center of their own universe.

What do you need to let go of?  It's an easy question to ask, but it can be an awfully tough one to answer. In this episode, I'll share how an answer to this question revealed itself to me recently and the impact it's had. I hope my experience will inspire you to begin seeking answers to this question, too.     Stopped in My Tracks “I submit.”  The words startled me. They were my words, but they hadn't come out of my mouth. They weren't the expression of a thought in my head or from my heart either, exactly.  In hindsight, it seems most accurate to say that the words came from what I might call my spirit.  Somewhere deeper within me than I'm able to access consciously, from some part of me that interacts with the transcendent.  I was on one of my habitual walks down County Road 44 here in Steamboat Springs, CO. It's a stretch of road by a river running through ranch land. It's a stretch of road that has a meditative quality to me–not too much scenery to distract but not so little as to make it uninteresting. Few cars, very few people. Just me, the road, the breeze, the river, occasional cows, and sometimes the eerily prehistoric call of the sandhill crane couple that frequents the fields along the road.  On this particular walk, I was listening to the final cut of episode 63, Suffering, Surrender, and the Leap of Faith: How to Find Freedom on the Other Side of Letting Go to make sure it was ready to release in a few days. Carrie Chown's astounding tale of three seismic surrenders and the freedom she's found on the other side of letting go was washing over me when my spirit uttered those unexpected words, as if in response to Carrie's story, and stopped me in my tracks.  “I submit.”    Submit to…? I knew in that moment that something profound had shifted within me. In that instant, I also knew why my spirit spoke those words, specifically.  For a number of weeks leading up to that experience on County Road 44 among the cows and cranes and gurgles of the river, I'd begun to be aware of a tight-fisted, clinchy feeling–like I had a death-grip on something. I was unwilling or unable to let go of it. I wasn't at all clear on what the “it” was that I was clinging to so tenaciously. Judging simply by the negative quality of the emotions that it produced, though, it WAS clear that clinging to it wasn't doing me any good.  So, I'd begun to ask God a simple question: What do I need to let go of?  I repeated the question whenever it came to mind, holding the lines of communication open, so to speak, and awaiting a response.  “I submit” was my spirit's response to the answer I received as Carrie's story washed over me.  The answer? It was time to submit to the Author of my Story and to my place within the larger Story that surrounds me. It was time to let go of the idea that it was all up to me. The deep-seated belief that I had to get it just right, or else, was causing me to hold on too tightly to each moment, each decision, each action. It was causing me to attribute too much significance to each moment, decision, and action and keeping me from just living.  It was a call to faith–faith in God and in the structure of existence. It was a call to surrender. It was a call to let go.    I'm a Fan That was a couple of months ago. True to form, I instinctively got nervous that the effects of that transcendent moment would wear off.  But I'm glad to report that truly transcendent moments don't wear off that easily. I am calmer, more at peace, and more comfortable being myself than prior to that “letting go.” I'm better able to peer into the mists of the future with curiosity and wonder than anxiety and fear because the future holds twists and turns in my Story that–even though some of them will be painful–will nevertheless contribute to the Story that God is writing with my life and in which I'm an active co-creator. I'm emboldened by the knowledge that I'm not alone and it's not all up to me. I'm taking initiative on things in my life that I was shrinking back from before.  I'm even able to see my ongoing blood sugar challenge and its life-altering impact as a portal to new possibilities and discoveries rather than just a hurdle to clear. I share more about the blood sugar issue in Ep. 057: What to Do When Life Throws You a Curveball if you want to know more.   In short, I'm a huge fan of this whole letting go thing!   Transferable Lessons for All of Us My story is descriptive of my experience rather than prescriptive of what yours should be, as a mentor of mine used to say. You may or may not relate to the way that I conceive of and interact with the Transcendent.  My Story serves a purpose illustratively, nonetheless.  Namely, it is good to let go of whatever is holding us back. And, if we don't know what's holding us back, then all we have to do is ask.  Even though my story isn't prescriptive of yours, there are a few transferable lessons that you can put into action right away.  First, pay attention to any areas of tightness or constriction in your life. Pockets of negative and intense energy, places where there's an underlying insistence that things be a certain way.  Next, simply pose the question, “What do I need to let go of?” and keep the lines of communication with the all-wise Transcendent open.  Finally, create space within which the answer to your question can emerge. We moderns rarely prioritize solitude. We often falsely equate it with unproductive time or label it a luxury. In fact, though, it's the fertile soil out of which our most transformational revelations can spring. So don't neglect it. In holding the space for solitude sacred in your life, you'll be among the giants of humanity who did the same–the Benjamin Franklins, the Albert Einsteins, the Gandhis, the Jesus' of Nazareth–and not among the countless hordes who hurl themselves headlong through life without much thought or reflection and have little to show for it beyond filling their time.  But if you listen to this podcast, then you're not interested in just filling whatever time you're allotted on this planet. Instead, you want to give life everything you've got.  So, pay attention, pose the question, create space, and await your answer.  Your results won't be like mine, but they will be just what you need, just when you need it.    The Help You Need for Letting Go A healthy dose of objectivity goes a long way when we're trying to discover what we need to let go of.  That's one of the reasons why I created The Graveyard Group. In a small group setting, you and your very own confidential board of advisors discern what you need to let go of and help you take the steps necessary to let go of it so you can live YOUR one and only life with even more guts, gusto, and abandon.  A new women's Graveyard Group is forming now, with my colleague, the amazing Beth Romano, serving as its facilitator. Beth pioneered the first women's Graveyard Group this past January, and now she's inviting more women to benefit from the experience.  Go here to learn more about joining a women's Graveyard Group, or email me.
