Today marks the 10th anniversary of my blog, Cosmic Christ, and I find myself filled with gratitude as I reflect on this journey of exploration, discovery, and spiritual growth. What began as a humble attempt to articulate my evolving understanding of spirituality has blossomed into a decade-long conversation about the profound intersection of Christianity, the Ra Contact, and the perennial wisdom traditions that connect them.

On this episode of The Next Best Thing, I'm celebrating two years of the podcast. I opened up about the journey behind building this podcast from scratch, facing doubts, fighting comparison, and redefining what success really means. From almost quitting to now reaching nearly 100 episodes, it's been about honoring promises to myself and helping others navigate life's transitions. Remember, perfection isn't the barometer of success. Show up, use what's in your hand, and let your own path unfold. Thanks for being part of this journey!

n this episode of The WY Network, Dwyane Wade, Chris, D Wright and special guest, Rajon Rondo dive into what it really takes to win—and defend—a championship. They reflect on the mental challenges of returning to the Finals after a title run, the weight of injuries, and the grit it takes to lead without scoring. The crew gives props to underappreciated legends like Dwight Howard and unpacks how selfless play and sharing the ball can change the game. They also break down the unique intensity of the NBA bubble and what made that championship feel like streetball with the highest stakes. From high school stardom to navigating team egos, it’s a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and love for the game.Music Credit: Khari Mateen.What We Discussed:• 00:00 Introduction • 01:48 Highlights: Rajon Rondo Jr• 11:54 Being A Point Guard• 16:21 Finding My Voice• 22:19 The Impact I Bring To The Game• 25:31 Connecting With The Players• 37:47 The Bubble Championship• 40:56 What Does It Take To Win..

Content warning: child sexual assault, child rape, statutory rape, incest, sexual abuse, cultic abuse, religious abuse, narcissistic abuse, assault, physical, emotional, mental, and financial abuse. Jessica Willis-Fisher is a singer-songwriter living in Nashville, Tennessee. Her childhood as the eldest of twelve siblings and member of a family band was marked by great tumult and abuse, despite spending several years in the public eye. Jessica would eventually free herself and deal with all that came next: coming to terms with her abuse, navigating the media, working to see her abuser imprisoned, and healing from the harm. The Broken Cycle Media has immense gratitude for Jessica's time, energy, and all the awareness she is bringing with this conversation to intrafamilial abuse.

Brooke talks with Nana, who shares his unique perspective on living with a disability. Nana discusses his childhood experiences, including the moment he learned about his tracheostomy and how it shaped his understanding of himself. The conversation delves into the challenges of navigating school systems that often lack proper support for disabled students, as well as the impact of societal perceptions on career choices. Nana emphasises the importance of resilience and self-advocacy, encouraging listeners to ask questions and challenge uncomfortable norms.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Disability is viewed as a unique entity rather than a limitation. This perspective emphasises the importance of individual experiences and how one chooses to define their own identity. Growing up with a disability can lead to feelings of confusion and disconnect, especially when parents do not openly discuss the nature of the disability. Understanding one's condition can take time, often not fully realised until adolescence. The educational system often lacks adequate support for students with disabilities. There can be significant gaps in understanding and resources, leading to periods of exclusion from school and a lack of tailored support. Career paths can be influenced by one's disability, with many individuals gravitating towards roles that allow them to help others. Personal experiences can foster a desire to advocate for disabled individuals in the workforce. BEST MOMENTS "I think if I was to be in that era again, I would be very forthcoming and wanting to know why am I like this?"  "I don't allow someone's negativity towards how I look or how I sound to determine how I walk through life."  "I think now, because the buzzword of EDI is being flung around, we're being put in a position where, okay, we have to take this box."  VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.  The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.  Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.  As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en: https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en

In this week's episode of The Best Guest we welcome actor and performance storyteller, Stacia Keogh.We talk about:Why storytelling is so importantThe three most important stories for business owners to shareIf you're new to speaking, how to find your voiceAbout Stacia KeoghStacia began working with businesses writing corporate training videos that were as entertaining as they were informative. She is an actor and performance storyteller appearing on world stages, public venues and small screens everywhere. As a resting actor in London Stacia learned the dark arts of advertising and how to use her story and acting skills to enliven pitches and presentations, notably J Walter Thompson, The Really Useful Group, Imagination and as an Education Officer at Kew Gardens.She currently works with professional service providers helping them to step into their own story to share their wisdom on panels, podcasts, and signature talks, 1:1 or Group Training programsShe hosts the podcast ‘Finding My Voice' where she interviews people who are speaking their truth and giving voice to others.If you play video games or listen to audiobooks chances are you've heard her voice guiding you through adventures.Key TakeawaysStorytelling is not just about reciting mission statements or listing features and benefits. Instead, it's about sharing genuine stories that have characters, specific events, and emotions attached to them. These stories help build trust and connection with customers and teams, allowing them to see themselves in the narrative and align with the company's values and purpose.Three Essential Stories for Business Owners: the origin story, the purpose story, and the value story. The origin story delves into how the company started and the founder's journey, providing a sense of connection and belonging for employees and customers. The purpose story articulates what the company stands for and its larger mission, uniting teams and attracting like-minded customers. Finally, the value story focuses on the transformation that the company brings to its customers' lives, going beyond product features to highlight the tangible benefits and outcomes.Tips for New Speakers: Rather than rushing through a speech or presentation, take a moment to breathe out, relax, and engage with the audience. By speaking to one person at a time, using facial expressions and hand gestures, and maintaining a steady pace, speakers can effectively convey their message and connect with their audience on a deeper level.QuoteWhen you tell your story, you give people permission to tell theirs.Connect with Stacia KeoghLinkedInInstagramTwitter/XWebsiteConnect with Victoria BennionTo learn more about working with us visit www.victoriabennion.com

I want to be a voice for the invisibles.  (Leslie Nease)What do a Survivor contestant, deconstructing mama of four bigs, former Christian radio broadcaster, life and faith transitions coach, author and newly-minted podcast hostess have in common?  They are all named Leslie Nease, our podcast guest this week.Leslie is quick-witted, well-spoken and passionate about coming alongside of people in their ever-evolving spiritual journeys and making sure they feel seen, heard and absolutely not alone.  She wants to make the "invisibles" (those of us who are afraid of speaking out about our deconstructing journey for whatever reason) find our voice again, the way she has found her own.On this episode, we explore all the ways we have been shut down, silenced, or spiritually bypassed and discover why it's so important that we discover who we are and why our stories matter (and why it's good that we begin to tell them).Leslie also gives us some really good tips about what's at the root of having a long-term, healthy relationship with your kids, especially one that has ridden all the religious and spiritual rollercoasters that come along with deconstructing toxic faith systems.This one is a goodie, if we say so ourselves.You can find Leslie at the following:Instagram:  @leslieneaseWebsite:  www.leslieneasecoaching.comPodcast:  Honoring the Journey

Lessons Learned and Finding My Voice Again resonated much more than doing a typical year-in-review post (at least how I've done them in the past).And for what it's worth, that's kind of the theme for this next year: both with business and my life.In other words, doing things differently.Initially, I was excited to do a year-in-review podcast. I've always enjoyed doing my look back on the year and seeing what worked, what didn't, and how that would impact the coming year.So much happened in 2023 that much of it feels a bit like a blur.In so many ways, the year really felt like “a lot.”The contrast I experienced in moving back to California from Costa Rica felt overwhelming at times.The first contrast might seem obvious, and that was the weather.Having grown up and spent the majority of my adult life in the Bay Area, I didn't think it would have such an impact on me, but it did. It didn't help that I moved back during a crazy, heavy winter with massive snow (I've been at my Dad's since moving back, and it's about an hour southeast of Lake Tahoe).Beyond my short stint and one winter in Boise, Idaho, I've never lived in the snow.I have zero intention of doing that again when I leave here.I also forgot how incredibly dry it is here. Costa Rica is humid, but it's not like Orlando. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I acclimated to that climate after a while. Not to mention, my skin felt fantastic.As much as I missed the seasons (to the extent that Northern California actually has seasons), winter is the season I like the least.Snow is pretty, and I love how quiet it makes everything, but I'd be fine if my only experience of snow moving forward were a weekend visit.The Biggest Adjustment of AllPeople.My Dad will be 80 this year, and his health isn't all that great. You wouldn't look at him and think so, but he has a handful of issues (his heart is the main issue) that are somewhat serious. His health and missing family are the primary reason I moved back.The secondary reason was that the last year there was more trying than I realized. I had visitors every month for nine months, with only one month break during that time.As much as I was super appreciative that people came to visit, it interrupted my life and work in a way that impacted my income and my energy (again, hadn't really realized this while I was experiencing it). All my guests were people who were close to me, so it wasn't like they were difficult.This just validated what I already knew about myself, and am going to be firm about in the future. I require a good chunk of time to myself. Boundaries are key for me – regardless of whether they make sense to other people or not.It took a few “come to Jesus” moments with my Dad also for him to “get” that just because I'm at home working doesn't mean I'm available for midday chats, errands, questions, or whatever else he thinks of. That being said, it's a good thing I did come back.We had three trips to the ER this year (all via an ambulance) because of his health. My siblings are both two hours away so my Dad would have been on his own until...

In a world filled with unexpected challenges, today's guest has transformed her life's journey into a beacon of support and guidance for widowed parents. For two decades, she led transformation projects for IBM across five continents, mastering the art of managing cross-functional teams and implementing innovative business solutions. However, at 43 years old, her life took an unforeseen twist when she became a widowed parent to two young children. She discovered that resources for widowed parents were scarce, so she decided to fill that gap. She created "The Widowed Parent Podcast," an insightful show that explores the real-life stories of widowed families, providing a platform to share their perspectives, reflections, and invaluable advice. She's the author of two books: “Future Widow: Losing My Husband, Saving My Family, and Finding My Voice” and "Widowed Parents Unite: 52 Tips to Get Through the First Year, from One Widowed Parent to Another." She founded the Widowed Parent Institute, further solidifying her commitment to helping others navigate the challenges of solo parenting after loss. Her work has been described as "real and relevant, intermixed with a sense of hope for the future."  Please join me in welcoming Jenny Lisk.  Join us in a heartfelt conversation with Jenny Lisk as she shares her remarkable journey from corporate leadership to empowering widowed parents, all while redefining the meaning of leadership and turning grief into a powerful force for change. In this episode, we discuss:

Welcome to the first episode of Heidi's Lane! I'm excited to invite you into my world, offering a glimpse into the vulnerable corners of my heart as I embark on this podcasting journey. Every new chapter has a beginning. Mine started with a whisper from above, a gentle push to share my story. But life's not always a straight path, is it?

Here's a sneak peek into our heart-to-heart today: 2:05 That "aha" moment that led me to the microphone. 5:45 Battling the loud voices of fear and doubt. 15:15 My very real dance with anxiety and how it manifested in my life. 22:35 A game-changing message from a dear friend that gave me clarity. 33:45 A breathwork session that propelled me forward 40:55 A powerful sign from God that ignited my fire within 44:45 The lessons this podcast has taught me 47:30 Advice about fear that will rock your world So, as I kick off the very first episode of our podcast journey, come take a walk with me as I share my tales of trials, tears, and triumphs. Because at the end of the day, we all have stories, and each one matters. With love, Heidi

This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. While in their youth, Jessica Willis Fisher and her eleven siblings were thrust into the spotlight for being the perfect musical family. Having achieved nation-wide fame on America's Got Talent, the Willis Fishers scored their own reality show in 2015, letting cameras into their pristine and heavily Christian home to document the daily lives of a happy, smiley family trying to make it in the famously non-toxic (just kidding) entertainment biz.  So when allegations of child abuse and molestation broke out against the family's patriarch, Toby Willis, Americans and onlookers across the globe were in disbelief. How could this family, which had been put on a pedestal and idolized extensively as “picture perfect,” possess such insanely disturbing secrets?  Because the world is fucked up, hellooo! But our listeners already knew that.  On today's episode, Jessica joins us to discuss her story, as well as parallels she sees between her family and others that shared the reality show spotlight. She's begun releasing new music again as a form of healing—you can check out her album Brand New Day here.

Trigger warning: topic is child sexual abuse. I share what happened to me at 4 years old,  how it affected me, and how I have been able to heal through it as an adult after not processing it for many years.  I hope you know you are not alone, what happened to you was not your fault, give your inner child the space to heal. This is not the end of your story, your story is still being written and can be beautiful.Psychology today find therapist specialized in traumahttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/fl/orlando?category=hispanic-and-latinoNational sexual assault hotline 1-800-656-4673 Victim Service Center407-500-HEALPartnering with Hi Hello Labs in Downtown Orlando https://www.hihellolabs.comSupport the showSubscribe to Beauty Marks podcast and leave a review.
