After entering foster care at just two months old, QpidLuv the World Bender spent his entire childhood in the system—moving through approximately 20 foster homes before eventually aging out.He grew up without the security of a permanent home, separated from his biological siblings and repeatedly forced to adjust to new families, new rules and new surroundings. Over time, he learned not to unpack completely because another move could always be coming.In this deeply personal episode of From Foster to Forever, QpidLuv shares what it was like to grow up in foster care, experience placement instability and enter adulthood without the support system or practical tools every young person deserves.He also explains how one foster mother changed the direction of his life by seeing him as more than a case file. When others said he would never graduate or even questioned his ability to read, she believed in his intelligence, introduced him to books and encouraged him to learn skills that would later support his career as an author and creator.Today, QpidLuv is a writer, musician, producer and imaginative “world bender” who transforms his lived experience into stories about belonging, identity, healing and hope. His fictional Haven Ridge community and Forever Home Project envision a place where children and young adults affected by foster care can find safety, stability, guidance and connection.QpidLuv also offers powerful advice to foster parents, particularly those caring for teens and children with significant trauma. He reminds caregivers that challenging behavior is often rooted in fear, grief and survival—not because a child is inherently “bad.”His message is clear: consistency matters. Patience matters. Believing in a young person matters. Even one safe adult—and even one year in a stable, loving home—can change the course of a child's life.Rather than waiting for the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, QpidLuv says he learned to bring his own flashlight. Now, through his books, music and creative projects, he hopes to help other foster youth discover their own light and create a path forward.In This Episode, We Discuss:Entering foster care as an infant and remaining in care until emancipationMoving through approximately 20 foster homesThe emotional impact of placement instabilityBeing separated from biological siblingsAging out of foster care without a permanent familyThe foster mother who recognized QpidLuv's potentialHow reading, writing and imagination became tools for survivalThe connection between childhood trauma and adult isolationRebuilding relationships with biological family membersWhy healing is a continuing process rather than a destinationTurning lived experience into books, music and fictional worldsThe inspiration behind Haven Ridge and the Forever Home ProjectWhy foster youth need practical life skills before leaving careHow foster parents can respond to trauma-related behaviorsWhy fostering a teenager is never “too late”The importance of consistency, patience and unconditional supportCreating hope when the light at the end of the tunnel feels out of reachA Powerful Message for Foster ParentsQpidLuv encourages foster and resource parents to look beneath a child's behavior and recognize the fear, trauma and uncertainty that may be driving it.Children in foster care need more than a bed and a temporary place to stay. They need caregivers who consistently show up, believe in their abilities, teach practical skills and continue caring even when trust takes time.As QpidLuv explains, a teenager may have only one year left in foster care—but that one year with a safe, committed adult can still make an extraordinary difference.About QpidLuv the World BenderQpidLuv the World Bender is an author, musician, producer and multidisciplinary creator with lived experience in the foster care system. His books, music and fictional universes explore themes of trauma, identity, family, belonging, healing and perseverance.Through the Forever Home Project and the fictional community of Haven Ridge, he is building a creative vision of what safety, support and connection could look like for children and young adults affected by foster care.Connect With QpidLuvThe Forever Home Project and Safe Home Chronicles:https://foreversafehome.comBooks, music and creative projects:https://blackfacemedia.comMusic:Search for Blackface Radio on Spotify.Audio series:Search for Deadly Confessions on Pocket FM.About From Foster to ForeverFrom Foster to Forever shares honest and inspiring conversations about foster care, foster-to-adopt, adoption, kinship care and the many ways families are formed.Hosted by Rachel Fulginiti, the podcast amplifies the voices of former foster youth, adult adoptees, foster and adoptive parents, advocates and professionals working to improve outcomes for children and families.Learn more at:https://fromfoster2forever.comFollow the podcast on Instagram:@Foster2ForeverPodcastLinks referenced in this episode:foreversafehome.comblackfacemedia.comfromfostertoforever.comspoti.fi/BlackfaceRadiopocketfm.com/DeadlyConfessions

No investments. Just a pile of payments that felt like chains.That moment changed how I talk about money forever.The truth is — most of us are following a blueprint that was never designed to build wealth. It was designed to survive. And the people who handed us that blueprint? They loved us.

The transcripts from Howard Lutnick's closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged. Lutnick repeatedly described his interactions with Epstein as “inconsequential,” insisting he only met with him a handful of times and claiming he cut ties after a disturbing 2005 interaction inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. According to the testimony, Lutnick said Epstein made sexually suggestive comments about massages during that visit, which he claimed immediately disgusted both him and his wife. However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance. Lutnick attempted to explain away the continued contact by claiming the encounters were brief, social, or business-related and that he never witnessed any criminal behavior or saw underage girls around Epstein. He also reportedly walked back previous public comments suggesting Epstein blackmailed powerful people, telling lawmakers he had only been speculating and had no firsthand knowledge of such activity. Republicans on the committee largely defended Lutnick and argued Democrats were trying to weaponize the hearing politically, while critics argued the testimony further demonstrated how many powerful figures continued associating with Epstein long after his criminal conduct was already publicly known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:HGO126550 Lutnick Draft-pdf2_Redacted-Update_RedactedV3.pdf

However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance. Lutnick attempted to explain away the continued contact by claiming the encounters were brief, social, or business-related and that he never witnessed any criminal behavior or saw underage girls around Epstein. He also reportedly walked back previous public comments suggesting Epstein blackmailed powerful people, telling lawmakers he had only been speculating and had no firsthand knowledge of such activity. Republicans on the committee largely defended Lutnick and argued Democrats were trying to weaponize the hearing politically, while critics argued the testimony further demonstrated how many powerful figures continued associating with Epstein long after his criminal conduct was already publicly known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:HGO126550 Lutnick Draft-pdf2_Redacted-Update_RedactedV3.pdf

Welcome to the Grief Series, a collection of conversations about the grief woven throughout our lives with some extraordinary women bringing their raw, vulnerable stories to the mic. I hope you see yourself somewhere in these stories.…This episode is for anyone carrying grief that doesn't have an obvious name. My guest, Chrissy Powers, is a therapist, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practitioner, and someone who has personally held space for me in some of my own deepest healing work. We talk about the grief that lives inside a marriage you're still in, the mourning of watching your children grow up, the loss that comes with deconstructing your religious upbringing, and what it actually takes to feel your way through grief instead of solving your way around it.TOPICS WE EXPLOREComplicated grief vs. the grief we're taught is acceptableGrieving inside a marriage you haven't leftWatching a partner struggle and the ultimatum that protects your familyThe invisible loss of your children growing upOutgrowing a partner who isn't on the same healing pathRaising emotionally literate sons in a culture that discourages itDeconstructing religious upbringing and what it costsFinding a guide, trusting your body, and reclaiming intuitionTHE POINTGrief isn't reserved for death. It lives inside the marriages we stay in, the children we watch grow, and the beliefs we outgrow, and the only way through any of it is to feel it instead of fix it.ABOUT CHRISSYChrissy Powers is a licensed therapist and the founder of Paradigm Wellness Collective, a group practice in Southern California.

Identity maxxing is taking over Instagram right now and I'm here for it. We are getting thrown so much content these days, that you need something to help you stand out from everyone else. Because we don't want to simply blend in, we want to create content that resonates and connects with our audience. This looks like sharing pieces of you (aka your identity) that other people can connect with so they see themselves and stop, thinking “wait, that's me!” If you're struggling with low views or you just want to stop the scroll, I have tons of examples (linked below!) to help you start owning your identity on Instagram.In this episode we'll be covering:What is “identity maxxing" and how to start using it when you create content for Instagram.How identity influences connections online and in person, and how our identity goes beyond simple demographics.Discussing identity based content hooks to call out our audience and increase engagement.How the Instagram algorithm serves content based on your specific identity and tastes. Multiple content examples and POV ideas for identity maxxing your posts.Featured content in this episode:Noellebybee: Rules I have for myselfLittlebugtogs: The library books I borrowedArthousecharlotte: I sell original local art in Charlotte, NCTaylorjackzen: Making dinner for my familyThe_intuition_dietitian: Convenience eaterWelltraveledchild: New non-stop international flightsPrestonkonrad: Simple and lux table upgradesShannonmckinstrie: Identity MaxxingRecommended episodes:Episode 103: Hot Take: We're Following Accounts Where We See a Reflection of OurselvesEpisode 110: Become More Memorable When You Stop Overthinking and Start RepeatingEpisode 111: It's How You Fill in the Blanks That Makes the Hook Unique to YouEpisode 117: How to Start Making Money Without Fancy FunnelsSend a message!If you use the send a message option above, be sure to include your email address if you would like a reply!

These are things real women in our community are doing right now.If you've ever felt like budgeting harder is the only option, this episode is going to open up a whole new way of thinking about your finances.Register for Business Breakthrough Experience: http://www.jameswedmoretraining.com/a/2148272142/LcoDSfh7
Most leaders are trained to perform, strategize, and execute, but there's one skill almost nobody teaches, and it's the difference between leaders who get compliance and leaders who earn devotion. It's called presence, and it has surprisingly little to do with focus.In this episode, Josh sits down with high performance coach Dr. Mark Matthews to break down the Present Protocol, a framework for leading with deep presence at work and at home. Here's what they get into:The "leadership gap" almost no one talks about, and why being focused on someone is not the same as being present with themThe one-line distinction between focus and presence that reframes how you show up as a leaderThe two phases of the Present Protocol, starting with the four capacities of deep presence that most high performers skip right pastWhy presence is the antidote to the loneliness so many founders feel even when they're surrounded by a team every dayThe skill that separates leaders who manage people from leaders who actually move themHow Josh is applying this in the three "home base" areas of his life: his team, his customers, and his familyThe hardest capacity to master, the one that asks you to suspend judgment in real time (Josh shares a 6:30 a.m. story from that very morning)This isn't woo woo, and it isn't another time management hack. It's the relational skill that changes how your team, your customers, and your family experience you. If you've ever felt present on paper but somehow still not connected, this is the episode that makes it click.Connect with Dr. Mark Matthews on Instagram @facemyfear or on LinkedIn as Dr. Mark Matthews.

The transcripts from Howard Lutnick's closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged. Lutnick repeatedly described his interactions with Epstein as “inconsequential,” insisting he only met with him a handful of times and claiming he cut ties after a disturbing 2005 interaction inside Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. According to the testimony, Lutnick said Epstein made sexually suggestive comments about massages during that visit, which he claimed immediately disgusted both him and his wife. However, members of the House Oversight Committee confronted him with emails, schedules, and business records showing contact continuing years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, including meetings at Epstein's townhouse, discussions involving a shared business venture, and a 2012 lunch visit to Epstein's private island alongside Lutnick's familyThe transcripts also showed lawmakers growing increasingly frustrated with what they viewed as evasive answers and shifting explanations from Lutnick as more documentation was placed in front of him. Democrats in particular accused him of misleading the public for years about the true extent of the relationship, especially after previously portraying Epstein as little more than a casual acquaintance. Lutnick attempted to explain away the continued contact by claiming the encounters were brief, social, or business-related and that he never witnessed any criminal behavior or saw underage girls around Epstein. He also reportedly walked back previous public comments suggesting Epstein blackmailed powerful people, telling lawmakers he had only been speculating and had no firsthand knowledge of such activity. Republicans on the committee largely defended Lutnick and argued Democrats were trying to weaponize the hearing politically, while critics argued the testimony further demonstrated how many powerful figures continued associating with Epstein long after his criminal conduct was already publicly known.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:HGO126550 Lutnick Draft-pdf2_Redacted-Update_RedactedV3.pdf
