In this BONUS live training, Kelly Roach walks you through a 5-pillar mind mapping framework for creating your most aligned, impactful, and profitable year yet. You'll learn why time, not talent, money, or hustle, is the ultimate differentiator between where you are now and where you want to go. This training challenges the two extremes entrepreneurs often fall into: over-planning without execution or over-executing without strategy,  and shows you how to bring both into alignment. Kelly explains why congruence with your calling, intentional life architecture, and clarity of vision must come before business goals if you want sustainable growth without burnout. You'll also hear how faith, family, fulfillment, and finances can coexist, and why your business should fuel your life, not compete with it.

In the fog-shrouded streets of 1880s Leiden, a woman everyone called "Good Mary" brought food to the sick, consoled the grieving, and prepared the dead for burial. For three years, she was the angel of her neighborhood—the trusted caregiver who helped when no one else would. No one suspected that the porridge she served was laced with arsenic. No one questioned why so many of her patients died. Until a doctor noticed somethingMaria Swanenburg's victims included 27 confirmed deaths among the most vulnerable members of Victorian Leiden's working-class community. Among them were her own parents—Johanna Dingjan and Clemens Swanenburg—murdered for whatever meager inheritance they might leave. Two young sisters died while Maria babysat them, followed by attempted poisonings of six mourners at their wake, including their pregnant mother.The Frankhuizen family lost three members: Maria Frankhuizen, her infant son, and her husband Hendrik, whose agonizing final days would ultimately expose the killer. Elderly neighbors who trusted Maria with their care, relatives who welcomed her help, and community members who saw her as Goeie Mie—"Good Mary"—all fell victim to her arsenic-laced kindness. Another 45 survivors lived with permanent health damage, many walking Leiden's streets on crutches for the rest of their lives.Between 1880 and 1883, Maria Swanenburg systematically poisoned at least 102 people in Leiden, Netherlands, killing 27 and permanently disabling dozens more. Operating in disease-ridden working-class neighborhoods where cholera deaths were common, she exploited the era's limited medical knowledge and the community's trust in her caregiving reputation.Maria purchased arsenic from multiple pharmacies across Leiden—ostensibly for pest control—accumulating lethal quantities without raising suspicion. She poisoned her victims through food and drink while nursing them, then collected on small life insurance policies she'd secretly taken out. When victims displayed symptoms of violent gastric distress, doctors assumed cholera or typhoid. When they died, Maria helped prepare their bodies for burial and consoled grieving families.Her downfall came in December 1883 when Dr. Wijnand Rutgers van der Loeff connected multiple patients with identical symptoms to one common factor: all had been under Maria Swanenburg's care.The Investigation: Dr. van der Loeff's suspicions led police to arrest Maria on December 15, 1883. When searched, she carried multiple insurance policies in her pockets—policies taken out on people currently under her care. Authorities exhumed thirteen bodies from Leiden cemeteries; all tested positive for arsenic.The Trial: Proceedings began April 23, 1885, drawing national attention. Medical experts explained how arsenic accumulated in victims' tissues. Family members testified about their loved ones' rapid deterioration under Maria's care. Throughout, she maintained an eerily calm demeanor, claiming she was being framed.The Verdict: On May 1, 1885, Maria Swanenburg was convicted of three murders from the Frankhuizen family case—though prosecutors had evidence for 27 deaths. She became the first woman in Dutch history to receive a life sentence.The Sentence: Maria was sent to Gorinchem Correctional Facility, where she died on April 11, 1915, at age 75, having served thirty years.Victorian Leiden provided the perfect hunting ground for a poisoner. The textile industry had drawn workers into overcrowded slums where families of ten lived in cramped cottages with earthen floors, no sanitation, and no ventilation. Cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis killed regularly. Child mortality was staggeringly high. Doctors rarely visited poor districts because residents couldn't pay.In this environment, additional deaths barely registered. Arsenic was legally sold in pharmacies for pest control with minimal regulation—no questions asked, no records kept. The poison was tasteless, odorless, and produced symptoms indistinguishable from endemic diseases without expensive chemical analysis that the poor could never afford.Maria's role as a community caregiver—taking in elderly boarders, nursing the sick, preparing bodies for burial—gave her unlimited access to vulnerable victims and made suspicion seem impossible. She was Goeie Mie. Good Mary. The angel.Primary research for this episode draws from Dutch criminal archives and the work of historian Stefan Glasbergen, whose book on Maria Swanenburg provides crucial contemporary documentation including court testimony and neighborhood accounts.The case fundamentally changed Dutch law. Following Maria's conviction, the Netherlands implemented strict regulations on arsenic sales, requiring pharmacies to maintain detailed purchase records and verify legitimate need. Dutch law enforcement developed standardized protocols for investigating suspicious deaths and recognizing serial murder patterns.The Swanenburg case became a cornerstone study in criminal investigation training throughout Europe, demonstrating how serial killers exploit community trust and institutional blind spots to operate undetected for years.For those interested in exploring this case further:The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden maintains records from the Victorian eraDutch National Archives hold original court documents from the 1885 trialAcademic studies on Victorian-era poisoning cases and forensic toxicology developmentMaria Swanenburg's victims trusted her completely. She was their neighbor, their caregiver, their friend. In the fog-shrouded slums of Victorian Leiden, the angel of the neighborhood was actually its deadliest predator—and the 45 survivors on crutches walked as permanent reminders of her betrayal.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're spending the last few weeks of 2025 reviewing our TOP 5 MOST DOWNLOADED episodes! We often talk about letting go of the negative labels that people have put on us… but what about the positive ones? What happens when our entire identity is built on the success we achieve in this world… And then we have to lay it all down? Today on the podcast, I have an on-air counseling session with Demi Leigh Tebow, as she opens up about the struggle and depression she felt laying down the crown of Miss Universe… and realizing how much her identity was found in unreliable things. We trace this “self sufficiency” back to her childhood, and unpack some of the patterns that led her to that difficult place … and the lessons she has learned and continues to learn in placing her identity in Christ alone. There is no label bad enough or great enough worth holding onto … except what Jesus says. This conversation was so good, and I know you are going to love it as well.

Give to help Chris continue to make Truce William R. “Bill” Bright was born in 1921 in Coweta, Oklahoma. Though raised in a religious environment, he initially pursued business success and personal ambition. While attending the University of Southern California, Bright experienced a dramatic spiritual transformation through the influence of Christian leaders like Henrietta Mears. This encounter led him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ and ultimately shaped his calling toward full-time evangelism. In 1951, Bill and his wife, Vonette, founded Campus Crusade for Christ at UCLA with a vision to reach college students with the Gospel. He later developed The Four Spiritual Laws, a simple evangelistic tract that became one of the most widely distributed Christian tools in history. Under his leadership, Campus Crusade grew into a global movement with ministries focused on students, athletes, families, the military, and professionals. Bright also launched the Jesus Film Project in 1979, which became one of the most-translated and widely viewed films in the world. What's missing from most short bios of Bright is the depth of his involvement in the Religious Right. He organized or was present at some of their key gatherings, founded a publishing house to print their words, and raised funds among them. Bill Bright remained dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission, often engaging in long periods of fasting and prayer for spiritual guidance. He received the prestigious Templeton Prize in 1996 for his contributions to religion and reinvested the award into Christian ministry. When he died in 2003, Campus Crusade for Christ had expanded into nearly every nation, with thousands of staff and volunteers sharing the Gospel worldwide. Bright's life stands as a testament to the global impact one person can have through faith, vision, and relentless obedience to God's call. My guest for this episode is historian John G. Turner, author of Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ: The Renewal of Evangelicalism in Postwar America.

In today’s special year-end holiday episode, host Heather Creekmore welcomes author and speaker Cynthia Ruchti to the show for an uplifting conversation perfectly suited to the busy woman navigating the Christmas season. As the holidays approach, the to-do lists are long, and the “reason for the season” can easily get lost amid shopping, family obligations, and endless tasks. Heather Creekmore and Cynthia Ruchti encourage listeners to pause, ponder, and rediscover the wonder of Christmas, focusing on spiritual renewal rather than exhausting productivity. Together, they discuss Cynthia’s Christmas devotional, her insights on noticing God’s presence, embracing lingering and pondering, and shifting our attitudes to receive what God has truly prepared for us—even in the midst of chaos, disappointment, and the “distribution of labor” that often falls to women during the holidays. The episode is packed with relatable holiday circumstances, biblical reflections, real-life stories, and practical encouragement to rest in the joy, awe, and wonder that Christmas offers. Key Topics Discussed: Why slowing down and observing brings more spiritual refreshment than staying busy The power of “lingering”—with God, with loved ones, and in the moment God’s upside-down kingdom and the abundance found in trusting Him with our time and resources Noticing God in both the seen and the unseen aspects of the Christmas story The message of redemption woven throughout Scripture, from Isaiah to the nativity What holiday mishaps (yes, even broken goblets!) can teach us about perspective and joy Reframing holiday serving as a gift for ourselves, not just for others How to keep awe and wonder alive in our hearts, even when Christmas feels like another item on the checklist Practical encouragement for busy moms and grandmas feeling the holiday load Using Cynthia’s 26-day devotional for a richer, more intentional holiday season Resources & Links: Get Cynthia’s Christmas devotional book, Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence (available on Amazon and hemmedinhope.com) *Amazon affiiate link, a tiny portion of your purchase will support this ministry.

Send us a textThis episode is written to gift you a little extra joy amidst the holiday noise. It features a fictional Christmas story, read aloud by my sister, Annaliese Hinking, that speaks to the parts of us feeling weary from constantly doing, stretching, pleasing, and trying to hold it all together. “To Grandmother's House We Go” follows Etta, a warm-hearted, overextended mom, as she navigates family expectations, emotional overload, and the quiet yearning for rest she struggles to articulate. Yet, amid the clatter of dishes and the insight gained from an unexpected conversation, Etta begins to let go of an old belief: that love must be earned to be kept.If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's experiences, if the holidays bring both tenderness and tension, or if you simply need a moment to breathe and feel understood, this story is for you. May it provide you with more than just comfort. May it encourage you to receive love, not for what you do, but simply because you are here.Looking for more seasonal resources?

In the 1960s and '70s, yoga teacher–turned–self-proclaimed messiah Anne Hamilton-Byrne built one of Australia's most shocking cults—an LSD-fueled blend of New Age mysticism, stolen children, and her own delusions of divine destiny. With doctors, psychiatrists, and academics convinced she was the Second Coming of Christ, Anne created The Family, a secretive compound where kids endured years of isolation and abuse.

With cozy mugs in hand, they're putting family traditions front and center. This episode is a love letter to the little moments that make the holidays special, from sipping hot cocoa to prepping for their legendary Drummer Boy Dinner. A tradition started by their grandfather, this meaningful family gathering brings everyone together to dress up, feel grown, and listen to Bing Crosby's “Little Drummer Boy”—and now, the next generation is keeping it alive. Between debating comfy vs. cute outfits, unboxing décor, and planning the kids' table, it's peak holiday chaos in the best way.The twins also dive into Christmas wish lists (for kids and adults), Santa logistics, and the very serious question of how many Santas actually exist. From Matteo asking to ride the Goodyear Blimp, to Birdie and Buddy requesting a baby brother, to elves with full-blown personalities and wardrobes they regret buying—it's funny, heartfelt, and wildly relatable. They even swap holiday traditions from around the world, sparking new ideas for future family dinners.And because life doesn't slow down for the holidays, Nikki and Brie catch up on Monday Night RAW, NFL suite life, holiday travel, and juggling it all with grace (and tissues nearby). It's a warm, laugh-out-loud episode about family, gratitude, traditions, and giving yourself a little grace this season.

This week, we're getting honest about something we know so many of you are feeling too: the mental load of the holiday season. Even as two high-functioning women in very different ways, this stretch of the year has us struggling. Between the busy season in our industry—podcasting, affiliate links, end-of-year pushes—and the nonstop holiday commitments, we've both been feeling behind and overwhelmed. And if you're there too, we want you to know: you're not alone.We walk through the real mental load moms carry right now—coordinating gift lists, keeping track of school dress-up days, navigating volunteer asks, and trying to make everything magical on top of everyday life. So we talk about giving yourself grace, slowing down, and putting the load on paper so you can actually see what you're carrying.We also dive into how differently we each cope. Amy checks in with herself more intentionally this time of year, especially because being overwhelmed means little comments from others can sting more than usual. Abby talks about being a natural ruminator—and how bringing things up with safe people, sooner rather than later, can bring so much peace of mind.Family dynamics during the holidays can get complicated, too. Amy shares the powerful reminder that she can't control how other people experience the holiday. And if anxiety is creeping in, communicating that with the people closest to you can make all the difference. We also share how we balance two totally different approaches to managing the mental load. Abby swears by writing everything down. Amy has always found the idea overwhelming… but she's giving it a try. And Abby walks through how to take that practice a step further once it's all out of your head and on paper. A big takeaway for both of us? Choose one thing and complete it from start to finish. The more we multitask, the more scattered we feel. Slowing down and focusing on a single task has been grounding for us both.Toward the end, we highlight some incredibly helpful tips from our friend Kate Borsato of @theperinatalcollective (linked below). This community has walked alongside us for almost six years now, and we hope today's episode helps you feel supported, understood, and a little lighter during such a busy season.You're doing your best—and that's enough.LINKS AND RESOURCES:JONES: https://www.jonesdairyfarm.com/LMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELFThe Perinatal Collective on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theperinatalcollective/Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Have we not had a prophet among us? Part of the gift of a prophet, seer and revelator is to see what's coming. That's the see-er part of seer. On September 23, 1995, President Hinckley announced and read The Family—A Proclamation to the World to the women of the church in a General Relief Society meeting. It reaffirmed so many things that are precious to us. God's eternal plan is about families. The plan of salvation is a family story.  In fact, the pre-mortal world was a place where we were nurtured by Heavenly Parents who were invested with extraordinary love in our growth and progress. It is not surprising that connection and relationships would be our foremost joy in this life. Our eternal souls were raised in a place of connection. It is what we are made for. It is an eternal yearning inside of us. Our heaven is not a place of lonely individuals who play harps alone on clouds, but a place of families and communities united together in love. It is a people who have learned to love, even when loving seems difficult.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele have died, according to LA Mayor Bass. Best known for his role as Meathead in "All in the Family" and for his directorial success with films including "Spinal Tap", "When Harry Met Sally..." and "The Princess Bride," Reiner has long resided in Brentwood, Los Angeles. He and his wife were 78 and 68, respectively. Details remain unconfirmed but sources say he and his wife were stabbed to death. Reiner's son Nick is a person of interest. Also multiple dead and several wounded after mass shooting at Brown University Saturday afternoon. Police in Providence, RI have released a person of interest. The gunman remains at large. And tragedy in Australia as 16 are dead, including the gunman, after a father-son duo opens fire on a Jewish community celebrating Hanukkah. Some 40 were injured in Australia's worse ever mass shooting on Bondi Beach in Sydney. And President Trump vows "massive retaliation" after a tragic shooting in Syria. The weekend ambush occurred in Palmyra when a lone Islamic State gunman targeted a group of Iowa Army National Guard soldiers. The attack killed two American soldiers, a U.S. civilian interpreter and wounded three additional U.S. soldiers. And sad news from our industry as former longtime talk radio host David Gold has died at age 75. Gold launched his career in the late 1970s in Denver. He would go on to work at WPLP-AM, Tampa before moving to KLIF, Dallas where he was on air from 1986 to 1997.

Codependents, people-pleasers, those who fawn, seek approval, and external validation, do not consciously understand why they are so frustrated and unhappy. Codependency and fawning are trauma responses that all lead to anger, and resentment. Oftentimes, those who are struggling with emotional and mental health issues, who seek help, are misunderstood when they are codependent. Their symptoms are vague, yet incredibly disruptive and tormenting. When a codependent seeks help, they complain about others, because they have been programmed to believe that someone or something outside of them is the cure for their ills.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano reveals how knowledge helps us organize the mind. Taking an objective look at our family of origin history helps unlock the secrets to why we do what we do, think what we think, and feel what we feel. When Lisa was finally diagnosed with codependency, and her therapist helped her investigate her family history, feeling stuck, angry, and resentful all began making sense.  Today you will learn about:

The importance of understanding our identity.

Director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Sunday, December 14, 2025. Authorities are investigating the deaths as a double homicide. According to People Magazine, citing multiple sources, the couple's 32-year-old son Nick Reiner is allegedly responsible. Both victims reportedly suffered stab wounds. Their daughter Romy discovered the bodies. Rob Reiner was 78. He won two Emmys playing "Meathead" on All in the Family before becoming one of Hollywood's most celebrated directors. His filmography includes This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men. His final film, Spinal Tap II, was released earlier this year. Michele Singer Reiner, 68, was a photographer who met Rob on the set of When Harry Met Sally. They married in 1989 and had three children: Jake, Nick, and Romy. Rob once said meeting Michele inspired him to change the film's ending so the characters end up together. Nick Reiner has spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction, which began in his teens. He first entered rehab at 15 and cycled through more than a dozen treatment programs. In 2016, he co-wrote the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie with his father about his experiences with addiction and recovery. LAPD has not officially named a suspect. The investigation is ongoing. We'll update as more information becomes available.  #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #BreakingNews #TrueCrime #Hollywood #AllInTheFamily #ThePrincessBride #WhenHarryMetSally #LAPD

The True Definition of “Preside” by Autumn Dickson The Family Proclamation turned 30 this year. It is a document that teaches about God's plan for families. Though many believe it to be outdated, I testify of its ongoing relevance. Its principles hold truth that can protect and save. If everyone went home and tried to follow the principles within this document, society would evolve overnight. As I approach some of these principles in this post, it's important to note that The Family Proclamation is the ideal. None of us are going to reach the ideal on this side of the veil, but we still teach the ideal. Sometimes teaching the ideal has the undesirable side effect of making us feel discouraged. We cannot afford to let that take hold in our lives. Satan would love to take the ideal and twist it so that it crushes us, and we get to decide whether we let those feelings into our lives or whether we hold on to the hope that is Jesus Christ. So, like the Family Proclamation, I want to try and teach the ideal. Your circumstances may not allow the ideal. How you grew up may not have even afforded you a glimpse of the ideal, but consciously choose how you're going to look at this ideal. You can look at it and wonder if God doesn't love you because you don't have that ideal, you can feel hopeless about ever reaching that ideal, OR you can tell Satan to back off. God teaches the ideal so you can strive for it, but God also teaches the ideal because He's trying to give you a glimpse of His promises to you. He is saying, “This is what I want for you because I love you. This is what you were always meant to have. This IS what you will have if you hold on.” So let's talk about one of these truths with that understanding. One of the truths that is often mocked and twisted is regarding fathers. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. There is a lot that we could dissect in that one sentence, but I'm going to pull out one of the first phrases. Fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness. “Preside” is the troublesome word in the eyes of the world. According to the dictionary, the word “preside” means to be in a position of authority so when we use this word, we often picture a home where the father gets the final say on any decision. Even when a husband loves his wife and listens to her honest opinion, it doesn't feel good to think that the man still gets the final say, and that's it. Is that really the end of the story? Even when he loves and listens to his wife, there are still moments where her perspectives go unheard because apparently it's divinely appointed. Then, there's the pressure that gets placed on the man for this kind of responsibility. No longer does he have a true partner to share life with. He carries it all because it ultimately falls on him. There have been a lot of things in the gospel and church that haven't always felt perfect or right when I've originally learned about them. I've learned that if I trust God and keep going, I've been led to answers from Him. It has been no different with this particular principle. If you keep reading in The Family Proclamation, you come across this line as well. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. This is our first hint that maybe we don't fully understand what we're reading. How can two people be equal partners if one person always gets the final say unless it's specifically “given” to the other partner? So which part am I reading wrong? Which part don't I understand? Is it the “equal” part or the “presiding” part? As I've pondered this particular question, I had a thought come to my mind. If I truly want to have the family that the Lord wants me to have, I have to ignore the world's meaning of the word “preside” and embrace what the Lord means by the word “preside.” This isn't just me trying to skirt my way around a difficult issue. It's not me doing mental gymnastics to try and make sense of it. Look at the Lord. The Lord presides differently than the rest of the world. He is the ultimate presiding officer and yet, we didn't see Him going around and making demands. We didn't see Him silencing good people and ignoring the opinions of others. He certainly wasn't disregarding the women in His life in the name of presiding officer. One of the foremost characteristics of Christ's life was His desire to serve. He devoted His life to securing what was best for everyone around Him. He was the ultimate presiding officer, and He was also the ultimate servant. Perhaps in the eyes of the Lord, presiding means the first person to step up and serve everyone around them. Presiding meant making decisions sometimes, but it also meant encouraging others to step up and lead. Presiding meant washing feet; it meant laying down His life, not putting His life above all others. Presiding, according to the Lord's interpretation, also means lifting everyone. The ultimate purpose of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are to bring about our immortality and eternal life. They want to lift us to where They are. It's not about controlling us and forcing us to do what they think is best. It's about meeting us where we're at and trying to lift us so that we can be as good and wise and loving and happy as They are. I hold no issue with this definition of my husband presiding in my home. I testify that the gospel holds up on closer inspection. Things that may seem troublesome or off can stand up to the light when we look at it with Christ. I testify that Heavenly Father has a plan for our families. I testify that His plan is based on serving each other and lifting each other, not ruling over each other. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

December 15–21: “The Family Is Central to the Creator's Plan”The Family: A Proclamation to the World (Explained to Kids)Even before we were born, we were part of a family—the family of our heavenly parents. That pattern continues on earth. Families here, at their best, are meant to echo the perfect pattern in heaven.“The family is central to the Creator's plan.”“⁠The Family: A Proclamation to the World⁠” is clearly about families. But it is equally about God's plan of salvation.“Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”Think of paragraphs 6 and 7 of the family proclamation as a pattern for “happiness in family life.” Families are important in Heavenly Father's plan.I am a “beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents.”You're listening to Come Follow Me Kids!A Come Follow Me Podcast for Primary Kids of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.We are an interactive game play podcast for kids.
