In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore continues October’s "Fear Free Fall” series by digging deep into the often-hidden fear of rejection and how it influences our lives. She unpacks how perfectionism and people-pleasing are tightly related to our need to feel accepted and loved. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and biblical truth, Heather unravels the underlying self-protective strategies we adopt—and how the gospel offers real freedom and grace. Key Topics Covered: What is the Fear of Rejection?Heather explores how this fear drives us and manifests as perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explains that these are self-protective strategies formed by our desire for secure love, belonging, and worth. Perfectionism:Often, we think, “If I get it right, then I’ll be enough.” Heather shares a personal story from college when a single missed typo made her feel immense shame, showing how perfectionism can lead to exhaustion and shame rather than peace. People-Pleasing:The fear that “If I make everyone happy, I’ll be safe.” Heather discusses how people-pleasing is not true peacekeeping or biblical peacemaking and how it can even impact our ability to follow God’s call if the opinions of others control us. Where Does This Come From?Heather highlights how these tendencies usually aren’t intentional—they’re often formed in childhood, at school, or through life experiences that taught us we’d be safer if we kept everyone happy or never made mistakes. How It Affects Others:Unchecked, perfectionism and people-pleasing can also lead us to have unrealistic expectations of others, continuing the cycle for those around us. The Gospel’s Answer:True freedom is found not in earning love and acceptance from people (or God), but in embracing grace. Heather reminds us that Jesus took on ultimate rejection so we can be fully accepted by God, no matter how we perform. A Challenge to Listeners:Heather encourages us to check our motives—are we striving for approval from people or resting in God’s approval? She challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a “people-big, God-small” view to a “God-big, people-small” mindset for greater confidence and peace. Memorable Quotes: “Perfectionism is a fear of inadequacy dressed up as excellence.” “People pleasing is not biblical peacemaking—it’s a form of self-protection.” “You can never be perfect or please everyone, but you are already fully accepted in Jesus.” “Freedom comes when you realize you can’t earn grace—it's a gift.” Resources & Next Steps: Visit heathercreekmore.com for free resources, courses, coaching, and Heather’s books Sign up for the free 10-day encouragement email series!

"Gratitude starts with being thankful for you before being thankful for anything else." — Sheila Kamuda Sheila Kamuda is an empowerment coach specializing in boosting confidence and leadership abilities. Her coaching career was inspired by two pivotal events: a personal healing journey following the loss of her husband and a robust 15-year stint in leadership roles. Sheila is also an author, with her works focusing on self-discovery and personal empowerment. Her work, encapsulated in her latest book "Say Yes to Yes," empowers individuals to embrace opportunities and lead a fulfilling, confident life. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of "Oh My Health, There Is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes empowerment coach Sheila Kamuda to share her compelling story and provide insights into leading a life filled with confidence. Sheila recounts her transformative journey through grief after losing her husband, a period during which writing daily letters to him helped her heal. Over the course of six years, Sheila penned almost 2,000 letters, during which she discovered the potent question, "What is on the other side of grief?" This pivotal inquiry led her to emerge as a more robust and empowered version of herself, sparking her mission to help others discover their inner strength. Sheila Kamuda fervently discusses cultural and self-imposed barriers many women face, especially in terms of confidence and social expectations. She stresses living "out loud" and proudly declaring one's achievements, no matter their size. The episode delves deeply into understanding personal purpose and embracing opportunities, with Sheila encouraging listeners to lead with confidence against fears and societal judgments. Her book "Say Yes to Yes" offers an empowering philosophy: embracing even minor opportunities can lead to significant transformations, a concept shaped by Sheila's personal experiences and professional expertise. Key Takeaways: Sheila Kamuda's personal healing journey illustrates the transformative power of expressing emotions and questioning grief. Identifying and cherishing personal achievements, regardless of their size, can have a significant impact on self-confidence and the discovery of purpose. Living 'out loud' involves embracing one's unique story, regardless of societal or cultural narratives. Openness to opportunities, however small, can usher in profound changes in one's personal and professional life. The importance of rewriting limiting beliefs into affirming narratives to foster personal growth and empowerment.

""다들 여기 보세요! 이쪽에 옛날에 봤던 길이 있습니다!"En: She looked around and shouted honestly, ""Everyone, look over here! There's an old path I remember!"Ko: 지수는 경청했고 민서를 믿기로 결정했습니다.En: Jisoo listened and decided to trust Minseo.Ko: 민서의 지휘 아래, 팀원들은 그녀를 따랐고 드디어 올바른 길을 다시 찾았습니다.En: Under Minseo's leadership, the team followed her and finally found the correct path again.Ko: 모두가 안전하게 산 아래로 내려올 수 있었죠.En: Everyone managed to descend the mountain safely.Ko: 도착한 후, 지수가 미소를 지으며 말했습니다. ""민서, 훌륭했어. 네가 아니었으면 큰일 날 뻔했어."En: Upon their arrival, Jisoo smiled and said, ""You were great, Minseo. If it weren't for you, we could've been in big trouble."Ko: 민서는 얼굴을 붉히며 고개를 끄덕였습니다.En: Minseo blushed and nodded her head.Ko: 팀원들도 새로운 존경심을 가지고 민서를 바라봤습니다.En: The team members looked at Minseo with a newfound respect.Ko: 이번 등산을 통해 민서는 자신의 가치를 발견했습니다.En: Through this hike, Minseo discovered her own worth.Ko: 이제 그녀는 외부의 인정에만 의존하지 않고, 자신의 능력을 확신하게 되었습니다.En: Now, she had confidence in her abilities, not just relying on external validation.Ko: 하늘은 아름다운 가을 저녁 노을로 물들고, 민서의 마음은 그 어느 때보다도 밝고 따뜻했습니다.En: The sky was painted with a beautiful autumn evening glow, and Minseo's heart was brighter and warmer than ever.

September 22, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 35What happens when a tech giant can borrow money at lower rates than the U.S. government? This fascinating development signals a potential paradigm shift in how markets view sovereign debt risk—and it's just one of many remarkable insights from the aftermath of the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut decision.The Fed's quarter-point reduction marks the first cut since December, but market reactions have been surprisingly complex. While short-term variable rates tied to indices like the prime rate typically follow Fed movements—benefiting credit card holders and those with floating mortgages—we're seeing the 10-year Treasury yield unexpectedly rebound from 4% to 4.14%. This movement reflects underlying concerns about economic strength and inflation persistence that could temper the pace of future rate cuts.Looking deeper at the Federal Open Market Committee vote patterns reveals greater consensus than anticipated for the moderate approach. Even officials expected to advocate for more aggressive cuts aligned with Chairman Powell's measured stance. Meanwhile, the Fed's "dot plot" projections indicate another potential quarter to half-point cut before year-end, though with notably less consensus than markets had hoped for—creating uncertainty that's now reflected in equity valuations.Beyond interest rates, we're witnessing fascinating shifts across asset classes. Gold has surged to new highs while cryptocurrencies have declined significantly, challenging narratives about modern inflation hedges. Perhaps most remarkably, Microsoft recently issued 10-year bonds at 3.625%—significantly below comparable Treasury yields—suggesting investors may be growing more concerned about U.S. government debt levels than well-rated corporate debt.For your portfolio strategy, these developments demand thoughtful reassessment as we approach the end of 2025's third quarter. With substantial cash still on sidelines and sentiment showing a mix of bullishness and caution, positioning correctly for what comes next requires both courage and confidence. As James Clear wisely notes, "The confidence that you can bounce back from failure is earned by working through previous failures."** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Message me with comments or questionsWhat does real self-care look like? For years, I silently judged people who focused on their appearance—thinking it was shallow or vain. But a recent experience completely shifted my perspective.In this episode, I share how I went from dismissing appearance-based self-care to realizing that true confidence comes from honoring both the internal and external parts of who we are. From my journey with hormone replacement therapy to a Halo laser treatment that sparked the comment, “You're 57, by now you should just be okay with it”—I'll unpack the moment that changed everything for me.Self-care isn't just bubble baths or meditation, and it isn't just skincare or workouts. It's about choosing practices—inside and out—that make you feel strong, confident, and aligned with your values. When we stop labeling certain types of care as “shallow” and others as “worthy,” we free ourselves to create resilience and self-trust that radiates through every area of life.If you've ever wondered whether it's “okay” to care about how you look—or questioned whether you're doing self-care the “right” way—this episode will give you the permission you've been waiting for.Connect with me online:1.

Ingrid shares how complex trauma rewires the nervous system, why simply “setting boundaries” often doesn't work, and how shame keeps us stuck in cycles of people-pleasing. Together, they unpack the science of safety, what it really takes to break free, and why healing is less about quick tips and more about reconnecting with yourself. If you've ever wondered why saying “no” feels impossible — or why you're drawn to the very relationships that hurt you — this episode will change how you see yourself and your story.

"I'm so far ahead in my training with this horse" - said no one, ever. The truth is, none of us feel 100% “ready” all the time—whether it's bringing a horse to a clinic, entering a competition, or even stepping into a new opportunity in life. In this episode, I share why confidence isn't about waiting until everything feels perfect, but about being willing to step outside your comfort zone and learn in the process. I'll talk about some of the common concerns I hear from trainers, how I've experienced the same doubts myself, and why the very thing that makes you nervous is often the exact thing you need to grow.

In this conversation, Klaus Kleinfeld breaks down why energy management—not tactics—separates elite leaders from exhausted teams.

Today’s Bible Verse: “I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 Mark 11:24 is a bold reminder of the power of prayer and unwavering faith. Jesus calls us to approach God with confidence, fully trusting that He hears us and is working on our behalf. Faith isn’t just hoping—it’s believing, even before the answer comes. This verse invites us to pray with expectation, release our doubts, and hold onto God’s promises, knowing that He is faithful to deliver in His perfect timing. “Want to listen without ads?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, we journey together through Jeremiah chapters 28 to 30 and 1 John chapter 3. Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through dramatic moments in Jerusalem—false prophets, warnings, promises of restoration, and God's faithfulness spite of exile. As we hear these ancient words, we're invited to see ourselves as God's beloved children, free from shame and regret, confident in His love and purpose. Each passage points us to the living Word—Jesus—and reminds us of our true identity as those deeply loved by the Father. Join us as we let scripture reframe our vision, encourage our souls, and strengthen us for the day ahead. Let's discover hope, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What do you see when you look at your life? Is it your sin, your regrets, your past, or your shame? Sometimes those things can loom so large in our vision that it's hard to see anything else, and it can be difficult to imagine ever moving past them. But John urges us to look again—this time, not at ourselves, but at God's love for us. John calls us children of God. He invites us to let that identity shape the way we see, act, and live. What you behold, what you fix your eyes on, makes all the difference in who you become. When we behold God's love—love that claims us as his own, love that is not conditioned by our performance, feelings, or even confidence—we are free to live differently. God's love for you is not built on your success or your piety; it is built on his steadfast character and the finished work of Christ. You are his child—not because you've earned it, but because he has bestowed it upon you. John reminds us that seeing ourselves through the lens of God's love will transform everything. It enables us to move beyond the lies of guilt, shame, and fear, and into the truth that we are God's beloved. It gives us the freedom and confidence to love others as he has loved us, to live as people deeply and securely loved. That's the prayer for us today: that our vision would be transformed by the Word, reframed by Jesus, so we may see the truth of who we are—children of the Father, enfolded in his love. As that becomes our vision, it changes not only how we see ourselves, but how we live in this world and how we love others. That's something I pray for myself, for my family, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

AI can write, edit, even cast—but it still can't do what made TV legend Bonnie Hammer unstoppable: read the room. In this candid conversation with Kwame Christian, Bonnie unpacks the human meta‑skill behind great leadership and negotiation—reading people and context in real time—and how it powered her “Blue Skies” era at USA & SYFY (Monk, Psych, Burn Notice). She shares why “fake it till you make it” fails (and what to do instead), how to hire for humility and team-first culture, why presence matters (“be in the room”), and how to build a spider‑web career that thrives through industry upheaval, streaming shakeups, and the rise of AI. What you'll learn Reading the room: the irreplaceable skill that beats AI and drives better decisions, deals, and teams. Face it till you make it: Bonnie's upgrade to the old career cliché—and how to apply it immediately. Hiring & culture: spotting humility, collaboration, and truth‑tellers (not cheerleaders). Media shifts: streaming, bundling, budget pressure—and what creators should do now. AI & guardrails: what to protect, what to embrace, and where human storytelling wins. Presence & influence: first impressions, listening deeply, and speaking the language of the room. Mentorship that works: why challenging mentors accelerate growth (Barry Diller story inside).

In this powerful conversation, global CEO and marketing thought leader Giuseppe Stigliano reveals why everything you thought you knew about branding is wrong, and what to do instead. You'll discover: Why “pushing” your brand no longer works in today's saturated market The shift from making people want things to making things people want How to apply marketing principles to your career, relationships, and personal brand The five steps every human relationship — and every great brand — follows Why trying to be on every platform is a losing game, and the smarter alternative Giuseppe has advised some of the world's top business leaders, co-authored books with Philip Kotler (the father of modern marketing), and his work has reached over 100,000 people worldwide. This episode isn't just about selling products — it's about understanding people, creating real value, and building a brand that attracts without chasing. If you want to stand out in a world drowning in choices, this is your blueprint.

Be nice, be invisible—brand leaders pick a strategic enemy and own the category. ⁠Buy the book The Strategic Enemy - How To Build & Position a Brand Worth Fighting For. By Laura Ries⁠ In this episode, branding strategist Laura Ries (daughter of positioning pioneer Al Ries) breaks down why playing it safe kills momentum, how to define a category you can own, and how the psychology of contrast turns brands into movements. We dig into visual hammers, multi-brand vs. line extensions, and the bold decision to say no so a brand can finally say something. You'll learn: What a strategic enemy is (and isn't)—and why it supercharges word-of-mouth How to choose the right category first, then dominate it with brand The role of a visual hammer (icon, color, shape) in instant recognition Why line extensions backfire—and when a new brand is the winning move How personal branding uses the same rules (signature look, ruthless focus) Why advertising should reinforce, not introduce, a positioning Connect with Laura Buy the book The Strategic Enemy - How To Build & Position a Brand Worth Fighting For.

Are you tired of saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”? In this episode of Negotiate Anything, host Kwame Christian sits down with life coach and hypnotherapist Amy Green Smith to unpack the hidden costs of people-pleasing—and how to finally break free. Together, they explore the surprising ways emotional intelligence, self-advocacy, and societal expectations shape your ability to negotiate—whether in the office, at home, or in everyday life. Amy reveals the evolutionary roots of people-pleasing, when it can actually help you, and when it slowly erodes your self-worth.
