This episode gave me a whole new perspective on the ego - and how it shapes everything from our healing to our relationships.I sat down with bestselling author and ultra-consciousness guide Daphne Michaels, and we dove into quantum awareness, energy healing, and how to live from the part of ourselves that's already whole. We talked about ego collapse, how to raise your vibration, and why healing is really just your heart surviving your life.Whether you're brand new to these ideas or already deep in your healing journey, I promise - this one will meet you where you're at.Timestamps: 0:00 – Welcome & Reflection 2:10 – Daphne's Spiritual Awakening at 19 5:30 – What an Ego Collapse Really Feels Like 10:00 – How the Ego Keeps You Emotionally 7 Years Old 13:45 – Healing Begins with Feeling Safe 18:00 – Quantum Awareness Explained Simply 22:00 – Real Stories of Energy Healing That Work 28:00 – Healing the Heart: Emotion, Trauma & Energy 34:00 – The Power of Micro-Acts of Healing 38:00 – Releasing Ego in a Noisy, Competitive World 44:00 – The SHB Movement: Living with Higher Consciousness 50:00 – Final Reflections & TakeawaysCONNECT WITH DAPHNE:Website: daphnemichaels.comInstagram: @theshbmovementYouTube: @DaphneMichaelsCONNECT WITH TIFF:Free Guided Meditation: tiffcarson.com The Weekly Exhale NewsletterInstagram: @iamtiffcarson

Happy Friday, everyone! Since the last update I celebrated another trip around the sun, which is reason enough to celebrate. If you've been enjoying my content and want to join the celebration and say Happy Birthday (or just “thanks” for the weekly dose of thought-provoking perspective), there's a new way: BuyMeACoffee.com/christopherlind. No pressure; no paywalls. It's just a way to fuel the mission with caffeine, almond M&Ms, or the occasional lunch.Alright, quick summary on what's been on my mind this week. People seeking AI legal advice is trending, and it's not a good thing but probably not for the reason you'd expect. I'll explain why it's bigger than potentially bad answers. Then I'll dig into the U.S. AI Action Plan and what it reveals about how aggressively, perhaps recklessly, the country is betting on AI as a patriotic imperative. And finally, I walk through a new global report card grading the safety practices of top AI labs, and spoiler alert: I'd have gotten grounded for these gradesWith that, here's a more detailed rundown.⸻Think Twice About AI Legal AdviceMore people are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT for legal support before talking to a real attorney, but they're missing a major risk. What many forget is that everything you type can be subpoenaed and used against you in a court of law. I dig into why AI doesn't come with attorney-client privilege, how it can still be useful, and how far too many are getting dangerously comfortable with these tools. If you wouldn't say it out loud in court, don't say it to your AI.⸻Breaking Down the U.S. AI Action PlanThe government recently dropped a 23-page plan laying out America's AI priorities, and let's just say nuance didn't make the final draft. I unpack the major components, why they matter, and what we should be paying attention to beyond political rhetoric. AI is being framed as both an economic engine and a patriotic badge of honor, and that framing may be setting us up for blind spots with real consequences.⸻AI Flunks the Safety ScorecardA new report from Future of Life graded top AI companies on safety, transparency, and governance. The highest score was a C+. From poor accountability to nonexistent existential safeguards, the report paints a sobering picture. I walk through the categories, the biggest red flags, and what this tells us about who's really protecting the public. (Spoiler: it might need to be us.)⸻If this episode made you pause, learn, or think differently, would you share it with someone else who needs to hear it? And if you want to help me celebrate my birthday this weekend, you can always say thanks with a note, a review, or something tasty at BuyMeACoffee.com/christopherlind.—Show Notes:In this Future-Focused Weekly Update, Christopher unpacks the hidden legal risks of talking to AI, breaks down the implications of America's latest AI action plan, and walks through a global safety report that shows just how unprepared we might be. As always, it's less about panic and more about clarity, responsibility, and staying 10 steps ahead.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction01:20 – Buy Me A Coffee02:15 – Topic Overview04:45 – AI Legal Advice & Discoverability17:00 – The U.S. AI Action Plan35:10 – AI Safety Index: Report Card Breakdown49:00 – Final Reflections and Call to Action#AIlegal #AIsafety #FutureOfAI #DigitalRisk #TechPolicy #HumanCenteredAI #FutureFocused #ChristopherLind

In this deeply moving and refreshingly honest episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we sit down with Edward Miskie—actor, singer, producer, and now author of the book Cancer, Musical Theatre, & Other Chronic Illnesses. Edward takes us through his rare cancer diagnosis, the raw and absurd realities of treatment, and his journey toward healing, self-advocacy, and reinvention. Ten years after surviving a rare form of lymphoma, Edward reflects on how cancer dismantled his life—and how he built something even richer in its place.Edward speaks candidly about chemo, heartbreak, identity loss, sex, alcohol, and the chaotic beauty of finding yourself again after trauma. His insights are brutally honest and beautifully empowering. This is more than a cancer survival story—it's a story of reclaiming joy, identity, and purpose.

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm ready for this week to be over but probably not for the reason you think. It's my birthday this weekend! Oh, and quick, related update. If you want to say Happy Birthday or just thanks for the great content, there's a new way, BuyMeACoffee.com/christopherlind. Don't worry, I'm not turning this into a paywall, but if something hits and you want to buy me lunch, some caffeine, or even a bag of almond M&Ms, that's now an option.Alright, let's talk about this week.AI agents are gaining serious ground as they continue showing up on your desktop, but what seems like convenience may be something far riskier. Meanwhile, crypto is making moves, and we're talking some big ones. Whether you're a believer or not, what's happening in 2025 deserves your attention. And finally, I don't want to participate in the gossip over the Astronomer scandal. However, the lessons we can take from it are worth talking about.With that, here's a more detailed rundown.⸻OpenAI Agent & The Hidden Risks of Desktop AIOpenAI's new agent mode is just one signal of a bigger trend. More and more, AI agents are being handed they keys to real workflows, including the computers people use to perform them. Unfortunately, most users haven't stopped to ask what these agents can see, what they're doing when we're not watching, or what happens when we scale work faster than we can oversee it. I unpack some real examples and the deeper mindset shift we need to avoid replacing quality with speed.⸻Crypto's Quiet Coup Gains GroundLooking back, I don't think I've talked much about crypto because I've felt it's a bit fringe. However, some updates this week made it clear crypto isn't going to fade; it's quietly going institutional. Trillions are flowing in, regulations are being rolled back, and coins like WLFI are gaining legitimacy at a pace that should have everyone paying attention. Whether you've ignored crypto or dabbled with meme coins, the quiet financial restructuring happening behind the scenes may impact far more than we expect.⸻What the Astronomer Scandal Says About LeadershipTwo execs and an uncomfortable viral moment of their private affair has captured headlines everywhere. However, this isn't just another morality play or corporate scandal. I unpack what's really troubling here covering everything from the lack of empathy in our cultural response, to the double standards that surface for women in leadership, to the unspoken narrative this kind of fallout reinforces. There are countless leadership lessons here if we're willing to slow down and listen.⸻If something in this episode struck you, would you share it with someone who needs to hear it? And if you feel like celebrating with me this weekend, drop a note, leave a review, or say thanks the caffeine-fueled way at BuyMeACoffee.com/christopherlind.—Show Notes:In this Future-Focused Weekly Update, Christopher breaks down the latest AI agent rollout, the quiet but powerful moves reshaping the crypto economy, and the uncomfortable but important fallout from a viral workplace scandal.

Trending Upward: A Spiritual Call to Check Your DirectionIn this powerful sermon, Pastor Robert Tisdale urges the congregation to critically examine their spiritual direction and trends in life. He highlights the pervasive influence of 'scroll culture' on our souls and underscores the significance of intentional spiritual habits over fleeting digital engagements. Using various analogies and scriptural references, Pastor Tisdale emphasizes the subtle drift toward or away from God driven by everyday choices. He calls for a genuine reflection on one's actions, urging believers to prioritize faith, integrity, and spiritual growth over societal metrics.

What if reclaiming your sovereignty from generational trauma begins with walking through the labyrinth of your ancestors' pain and reclaiming your heart?I didn't remove my breast implants because of pain—I removed them because they were a symbol of something much deeper. For 20 years, I carried them as a way to survive, to conform, and to avoid the truth of my body and soul. But in April 2025, I walked into the center of my labyrinth and made the choice to make the final turn in the labyrinth that would take me back to my heart finally.We are back, Sovereign Sisters! And in this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I share the truth behind my breast implant removal surgery, and the five lessons I learned that led me to liberate my heart from an intense journey of generational healing. This was not just a physical transformation—it was an emotional and spiritual reclamation of my heart and my lineage. It was coming to the center of the labyrinth, a journey I started in 2015.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why I chose to remove my implants after 20 yearsHow much it cost, recovery, breast lift informationHow generational trauma shows up in the body and heartThe moment I released the weight of my ancestors' pain and came home to myselfThe impact of people-pleasing and spiritual bypassing on healing as you return pain back to others instead of carrying it for themHow Kundalini Yoga Therapy tools helped me heal on a deeper level and not take pain medsWhat true surrender looks like—and how it rewires your identityHow I returned the pain to its source and embraced my ancestral giftsThe difference between martyrdom and resurrection in Christ's teachingsThis journey was my labyrinth—one path leading me to the heart of my soul and the truth of my lineage. If you've ever felt like you're carrying more than your own pain or struggling to come home to your true self, this episode is for you.

Resentment gets a bad rap, but what if it's actually a guidepost?   This episode is a look inside one of my recent Catalyst Studio mentoring sessions, where a brilliant practitioner found herself loving the work… and hating how it made her feel. Sound familiar? She wasn't burned out, yet, but the resentment was building. And it wasn't loud. It was quiet, chronic, and easy to ignore. Until it wasn't.   We talked through where that resentment was coming from, how it tied to people-pleasing, guilt around pricing, and the belief that overdelivering somehow proves your worth. We named it. We mapped it. And then we got to work.   Inside this episode, I share the tools and scripts I gave her to start protecting her energy and time, without shrinking or apologizing. We talk about boundaries (internal and external), membership models, and why policies aren't just for your practice… they're for your passion.   If you've been carrying silent resentment, feeling overextended, or struggling to hold your own boundaries, this one's for you.   Let's talk about what needs to shift, before burnout makes the decision for you.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Resentment as a Burnout Warning Sign 05:00 The Pressure to Be Liked and Its Hidden Costs 08:13 Scripts for Saying No 10:12 Public vs. Private Boundaries 15:05 Self-Abandonment and Internal Boundaries 16:10 Practicing Discomfort 18:00 How to Spot Quiet Resentment 20:14 Building Structure for Sustainable Care 22:04 Final Reflections and the Catalyst Quiz   Links https://3nb09zv7070.typeform.com/archetype  https://drlarasalyer.com/shop  https://rightbrainrescue.com/p/membership-magic-design-your-3-tier-functional-medicine-membership-to-grow-and-scale https://drlarasalyer.com/2025/07/11/episode-154-the-big-comeback-ten-rules-that-changed-my-practice-and-life/    Connect with Dr. Lara Salyer:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In today's episode, I sit down with my incredible friend Adriana Martinez—an entrepreneur and a wife who has built and run successful businesses. What makes Adriana's story so powerful is not just her business acumen, but the deep, personal transformation she's gone through in her journey as a leader. She's someone who leads with both heart and mind, and in this episode, we dive deep into the real struggles, the lessons learned, and the challenges of leadership that don't often get talked about.About Adriana Adriana is the owner of Revel Workshop, a luxury salon focused on elevating stylists careers through top tier education and mentorship. As a personal and professional budgeting coach, she helps individuals and small business owners take control of their finances and build sustainable success. Passionate about connecting people and fostering growth, Adriana thrives on empowering others to achieve financial freedom and business excellence.The Constant Battle of LeadershipAdriana and I discussed how, in her journey as a business owner, she's learned the hard way that success is not just about achieving a goal—it's about navigating relationships. She runs two salons now, but no longer takes clients herself. Instead, she depends on the team she's built. And as any entrepreneur knows, that reliance on others can be terrifying.Adriana explained that her success is directly tied to the success of those around her. If an employee leaves, it sends a ripple effect through her business, and it's hard not to take it personally. She wants the best for her team, but at the same time, she can't help but feel disappointed and question her role as a leader when someone walks away.The Struggle with Loyalty and AbandonmentOne of the most real and raw moments came when Adriana admitted her fear of abandonment—something that I think many business owners can relate to. She's fiercely loyal, and she wants to offer the same loyalty in return. But when someone leaves, it can feel like a personal betrayal.This led us into a powerful conversation about capacity—both the capacity of those who work with you and the capacity of yourself as a leader. I asked her the tough question: Do you really expect everyone to match your capacity?Her answer was insightful: Not necessarily, but it's hard to see them leave because it feels like failure.I reminded her that no one else will ever be able to match her level of commitment and capacity, especially if they are not in the same business-owner role. And the difference between what she expects and what others can deliver is where the disappointment lies.The Hard Truth of Leadership: Not Everyone StaysAdriana shared that she knows logically that employees leave because it's time for them to grow, and that they are not abandoning her. But the emotional side of her—fueled by that deep sense of loyalty—makes it feel like a personal loss.We both agreed that this is an inherent part of business ownership. You pour so much into people, and when they leave, it can feel like everything you've built is crumbling. But the reality is, it's just part of the process. People come, people go. As leaders, we must embrace this as part of the natural flow of growth.The Importance of Words of AffirmationOne of the key moments in our conversation was when Adriana admitted something that she had long avoided—she is, in fact, a words of affirmation person. As much as she resisted it, I could tell that hearing those words of appreciation made a difference for her. She shared how she does everything for people, often with no expectation of recognition, but deep down, she craves acknowledgment.I pointed out that we often mistake confirmation for affirmation. Confirmation simply states that something is true—like a ticket for a flight. It's factual, impersonal. Affirmation, on the other hand, acknowledges the goodness of what we do and who we are. It's not about fluff—it's about recognizing effort, commitment, and value. Adriana hadn't fully embraced that she needs affirmation too, but the more we unpacked this, the clearer it became.Creating a Safe Space for VulnerabilityOne of the things I admire most about Adriana is her ability to create safety for others. She may not always want or seek affirmation, but she unknowingly creates a space where her team and clients feel safe to share, grow, and even leave when the time is right. That safety comes from trust, and I encouraged her to allow herself to experience the same kind of trust in return.Leaders often think they have to protect themselves from getting hurt, but what if we created spaces where we could allow ourselves to be seen and affirmed too?Letting Go of ControlAdriana also shared her internal battle with letting go of control. For a long time, she thought that to keep things running smoothly, she needed to handle it all herself. She resisted relying on others. But through the years, she's realized that leadership doesn't mean doing everything yourself. It means trusting others, and embracing the idea that not everyone will stay forever, and that's okay.I encouraged her to celebrate the contributions of her team, and to reframe the way she looks at people leaving. Rather than feeling abandoned, what if she saw it as the natural progression of their growth? They are moving on to the next phase of their life, and her role was to help them get there.The Takeaway: Safe Spaces and GrowthThe most powerful lesson in this episode? We need to start seeing ourselves for who we are and what we're doing. We need to recognize that, as leaders, we are not just responsible for the success of our business—we're also responsible for creating environments that allow people to thrive, grow, and sometimes move on.Adriana's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability, clarity, and affirmation. As leaders, we must be open to receiving those things just as much as we offer them.Resources MentionedJoin my free leadership workshop: https://rockygarza.com/confidence Follow Adriana on Instagram: @adrianaymartinezAdriana's website: https://revelworkshop.com Key Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Unfinished Leadership00:39 Adriana Martinez's Journey and Challenges01:27 The Struggles of Relying on Others02:47 Balancing Personal and Professional Relationships04:34 The Emotional Impact of Employee Turnover09:02 Seeking Affirmation and Appreciation17:24 Creating a Safe and Loyal Work Environment19:01 Navigating Business Challenges20:25 Reframing Employee Departures21:26 Creating a Supportive Culture22:36 Balancing Vulnerability and Strength24:38 The Importance of Affirmation25:36 Building Trust and Safety27:14 Embracing Words of Affirmation34:36 Final Reflections and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations
