In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Don shares his journey growing up with an alcoholic father to his own struggles with addiction and eventual sobriety.

He discusses how sobriety opened doors to unexpected opportunities, including a role in a Netflix show and a thriving career in building hot rods.

Stillness can feel impossible in a world that rewards constant motion. Before 2020, most of us were sprinting through life—our schedules packed, our minds overstimulated, our silence drowned out by screens. But what happens when we finally stop? This episode is a throwback, and was recorded in 2020, however the themes are still just as relevant today. It invites you to explore the question of stillness with Mitra Manesh, mindfulness thought leader and founder of the Innermap app. Drawing from both Eastern wisdom and Western practicality, Mitra shares her remarkable journey—from fleeing Iran during wartime to building a career teaching others how to find peace in chaos. You'll learn how to visit your past and future with a strict itinerary, reconnect to the present moment, and embrace the art of mindful living even when the world feels uncertain. What You'll Learn 3:49 How Mitra was first introduced to mindfulness and the practices that changed her life. 6:56 How she and her clients found meaning during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 10:04 What it was like to literally walk out of Iran and into Turkey during the war. 17:57 How to engage with your past and future mindfully—without falling into anxiety or regret. 21:50 When she developed her “strict itinerary” theory for time-traveling through the mind. 26:18 Her favorite Rumi quote and the timeless wisdom it carries. 26:38 What befriending death taught her about joy. 31:48 Why oil pulling is part of her daily routine. 34:05 The story behind her beloved teacher. 36:13 How a 90-year-old Buddhist monk helped her rediscover fun. 38:18 Mitra's practical advice for easing anxiety in uncertain times. About the Guest Mitra Manesh is a mindfulness educator, speaker, and founder of Innermap, a mindfulness app blending corporate training with Eastern contemplative practices. Her clients range from global executives to creative leaders seeking clarity, compassion, and calm in the modern world. Connect with Mitra Manesh Innermap Instagram

When the Heart and Mind Agree: Finding Peace in Christ The prophet Joel calls the priests and people to repentance and fasting, . . . . . . warning that “the Day of the Lord” will bring judgment for those who remain unconverted but salvation for those who turn back to God with sincere hearts. True conversion means harmony between the heart and the mind . . . when our thoughts and desires are aligned with God's truth. Jesus illustrates this in the Gospel by confronting the Pharisees, who accuse Him of casting out demons by the power of the devil. Their hearts recognize His goodness, yet their minds reject Him out of pride and deceit, revealing an inner division. Jesus teaches that a “house divided against itself cannot stand” and warns that a heart cleansed of evil must be filled with God's grace, or else greater evils will return. The Homily concludes with an invitation to examine our own hearts: Are we filled with the Spirit of God or with division? True conversion brings harmony within us and, through us, harmony to our families, Church, and world. Only Christ, who is Truth itself, can bring this lasting peace and unity.

What if love doesn't look like fixing, managing, and controlling?  What if letting go is the most loving thing you could do? Today's episode shares the story of what becomes possible when we choose peace over control.  Our guest is Carol Howe, a school psychologist whom I met through a virtual Women of Dartmouth event in 2023. Her story is a testament to how the tools and wisdom of coaching are helpful well beyond the realm of healthcare. Her story illustrates how the most significant change always comes from within. Carol shares how coaching helped her move from feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and helpless in the wake of family mental health struggles and marital stress, to a place of peace, trust, and presence - without anyone else having to change. Pearls of Wisdom: You don't have to fix it to love it. Real love doesn't come from fixing, managing, or controlling—it comes from presence, compassion, and acceptance (even when you don't like something). Be the lighthouse. When others are riding waves of emotion, your steadiness is the greatest gift you can offer. It starts with caring for yourself first. Just like me. This simple phrase softens resentment and reconnects you to the humanity in the people around you, even when they can't or don't want to change. Change begins with you. Nothing outside you has to change for you to feel more peaceful and empowered inside. Your story shapes your life. Carol's powerful insight came when she realized the life she had once written as a “future story” had come true—because of how she chose to think, feel, and show up. Reflection Questions: What might “being the lighthouse” look like in your life today? Where are you stuck in fixing, managing, or controlling? What if letting go created more connection? What story are you telling yourself about your relationships—and what story do you want to tell in the future? Whether you're navigating challenges in your marriage, with your children, or within yourself, coaching offers the kind of compassionate, forward-focused support that can truly change your life—no matter your profession or background. If Carol's story inspired you or you're feeling stuck, lost, or desperate for change, 1:1 and/or group coaching may be precisely the shift you need.

We live in a world that tells us everything is about you — your goals, your success, your platform. But what if that's exactly why so many of us feel anxious, restless, and burned out? In this message, Pastor Mark Clark unpacks Psalm 8 and shows how shifting your focus from yourself to God's greatness can bring real peace and purpose. When you realize that life isn't about control, but about awe — it changes everything. If you've ever felt small, unseen, or overwhelmed, this Psalm reminds you: you were made for something bigger.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! How do we keep from envying the apparent success of the wicked when injustice seems to go unchecked?

Join us for this 13-minute meditation on Psalm 37, where we discover God’s call to patience, trust, and delight in Him. Instead of fretting over evildoers, we are invited to fix our eyes on His faithfulness, to dwell in peace, and to rest in the promise that the meek will inherit the earth. And because we have the teachings of Jesus, New Testament believers can benefit from Christ's call to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and trust in a God whose redemptive power means there truly are no lost causes.

In this Jizō Sesshin talk, Jomon explores the poem Peaceful Life by Dainin Katagiri Roshi, opening it as a doorway into the mystery of vow. She reflects on how we often arrive at practice seeking peace, only to find ourselves meeting distraction, longing, or grief—and how vow becomes the ground on which true peace is found. Drawing on teachings from Chozen Roshi, Thich Nhat Hanh, and stories of resilience from Dōgen to living exemplars like Jimmy Carter, Jomon shows how vow functions not as a goal to accomplish, but as an orientation of the heart that fuels compassion, love, and continuity. Through this lens, we are invited to consider what our lives are about, and how even in uncertainty we can return to this breath, this moment, and discover peaceful life in vow.This talk was given during the 2025 Jizo Sesshin at Great Vow Zen Monastery. ★ Support this podcast ★

Have you ever felt like you're barely surviving behind the scenes while projecting a picture-perfect life to the outside world? You're not alone. In this powerful episode of Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, Coach Diana sits down with Jeannie—a homeschooling mom, writer, and woman of deep faith—who opens up about her journey from silent suffering as a pastor's wife to finding clarity, healing, and her God-given voice. Through years of overfunctioning, pretending, and holding on to a crumbling marriage, Jeannie learned the life-changing difference between suffering silently and living in truth. Her story is raw, redemptive, and full of hope for anyone wondering if they'll ever feel peace again.   Key Takeaways Overfunctioning Isn't Strength—Truth Is For years, Jeannie believed that being a good wife meant suffering silently, forgiving endlessly, and making everything look okay on the outside. But through Leslie Vernick's CONQUER and Walking in Core Strength programs, she discovered that true strength is not about carrying someone else's sin—it's about stepping into reality and living aligned with God's truth. Survival Mode Isn't Sustainable Jeannie's life was marked by constant moves, ministry demands, and emotional neglect. She did what many women do—minimize, suppress, endure. But eventually, even her strong spirit broke. The turning point came not from hardship itself, but from being unseen, unheard, and spiritually isolated. That's when she realized: living in non-reality wasn't faith—it was fear. God's Peace Follows Obedience to Truth Learning the difference between forgiving and trusting, honoring God over pleasing people, and choosing obedience over image changed everything for Jeannie. Isaiah 54 became her anchor—God as her Redeemer and Husband. As she let go of false beliefs and idols like marriage and image, peace finally moved into her home and heart. Purpose Can Be Reborn in the Ashes After her husband left, God breathed life into Jeannie's long-dormant writing dreams. Within hours, a publisher emailed to accept her article. Soon after, her children's book was published. Her obedience opened the door for God to redeem her pain and restore her voice—not just for her healing, but for others. You Don't Need to Know the Whole Path—Just Do Today If you're stuck, afraid, or overwhelmed, Jeannie offers this grace-filled reminder: You don't need to figure out the next ten steps. Just do today. One faithful, truthful step at a time. With God's help and the support of wise others, you can do hard things—and you don't have to do them alone. Jeannie's journey shows how easy it is to get lost in confusion, questioning your own reality and wondering if things will ever change. She learned that facing the truth, even when painful, was the very doorway to peace and freedom. And if you find yourself wondering whether the man in your life is truly changing or just putting on another mask, there is a safe place to explore that question.

Nem bírom elviselni ezt a zajt” – próbálta megértetni vele.En: “I think it's time to go. I can't take this noise anymore,” he tried to explain.Hu: Zsófi látta, hogy Áron kicsit feszült, ezért bólintott.En: Seeing that Áron was a bit tense, Zsófi nodded.Hu: „Oké, menjünk valahová máshová. Egy csendesebb helyre” – mosolygott rá megértően.En: “Okay, let's go somewhere else. To a quieter place,” she smiled at him understandingly.Hu: Amint kiléptek az Urban Jungle kávézóból, Áron fellélegzett.En: As soon as they stepped out of the Urban Jungle café, Áron breathed a sigh of relief.Hu: „Mit szólnál a Duna-parthoz?” javasolta.En: “How about the Danube riverbank?” he suggested.Hu: Zsófi örömmel elfogadta az ötletet, és kéz a kézben sétáltak tovább a csendesebb, nyugodtabb környezet felé.En: Zsófi happily accepted the idea, and hand in hand, they walked towards a quieter, more peaceful environment.Hu: Ahogy sétáltak, Áron úgy érezte, hogy először sikerült kicsit magabiztosabban kiállnia maga mellett, míg Zsófi kezdte felismerni, hogy néha a csend többet mond minden szónál.En: As they walked, Áron felt that, for the first time, he managed to assert himself a little more confidently, while Zsófi began to realize that sometimes silence says more than any words.

Send us a textHow do we treat our physical health versus our mental health? Former London Metropolitan Police officer Jonathan Kemp spent 12 years in law enforcement while battling undiagnosed bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia—yet refused to seek professional help until his late 30s."I was determined to fix myself on my own," Kemp reveals in this powerful conversation. "I saw it as an insult to go and see a doctor. It was a weakness or admission of defeat." This mindset, particularly prevalent among first responders and those in high-pressure careers, kept him struggling silently for decades before finally seeking the treatment that transformed his life.Kemp articulates the profound disconnect in how we approach different aspects of our wellbeing: "If you had a chronic knee problem, you'd go and see a knee specialist. It defies logic that we're happy to see a professional for the rest of our body, but when it comes to the brain, we have this almost inbuilt default that you should figure it out yourself." This insight cuts to the heart of why many resist mental health support despite overwhelming suffering.The conversation explores how structured environments like policing can sometimes mask mental health challenges, while shift work can exacerbate them by disrupting sleep patterns—what Kemp identifies as his "#1 foundation" for mental health stability. He shares practical advice for supporting struggling colleagues and navigating recovery resources when confidentiality concerns arise, especially in professions where stigma remains powerful.Now an advocate and author, Kemp discusses his upcoming book "Finding Peace of Mind" (releasing on World Mental Health Day) and his ambitious seven-month awareness walk across the British Isles beginning January 2026. Through both initiatives, he's transforming his decades of struggle into resources that might help others find support sooner.Visit Jonathan at the following links: https://www.viscountrochdale.com/https://www.facebook.com/jonathankemplondonhttps://www.instagram.com/Jonathankemplondonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathankemplondonYou can order his book at Amazon: www.amazon.com/jonathankempFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Our relationship with food doesn't have to be this complicated. Nutritionist Kim Shapira, and author of "This Is What You're Really Hungry For," doesn't offer another set of food rules. Instead, she reveals why our relationship with food became so fraught in the first place.Talking with Kim challenged everything I thought I knew about "healthy" eating. She explains how our bodies, with their 37 trillion constantly communicating cells, already know exactly what and how much we need to eat. The problem isn't our appetite or willpower; it's the mental noise that drowns out our natural hunger and fullness signals.What struck me most was her rule: "eat what you love, as long as the food loves you back." It sounds simple, but it requires actually paying attention to how food makes us feel, which is something most of us rarely do when we're eating standing up, rushing between meetings, or scrolling our phones.Whether you're tired of fighting with food, confused by contradictory nutrition advice, or just want to understand why eating can trigger both physical discomfort and emotional spirals, this conversation offers a different path forward. One that starts with trusting the wisdom your body already possesses.Connect with Kim Shapira: https://www.kimshapiramethod.com/Kim Shapira on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimshapiramethod/Link to Purchase her book: "This What You're Really Hungry For"Link to her MasterclassConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

Surrender. The very word can make us uncomfortable. But what if the path to peace runs directly through letting go of what we can't control?On this episode of Building for Life, we dive into the challenging but transformative practice of surrender. We explore how acknowledging our lack of control—far from being a sign of weakness—actually becomes a doorway to unexpected strength and resilience.My co-host Allison and I share personal stories of surrender from very different perspectives. I reflect on navigating life after profound loss and physical trauma, while Allison opens up about the challenges of parenting a child with health concerns. Together, we discover that surrender isn't about giving up, but rather about recognizing what truly deserves our energy and attention.The conversation takes a practical turn as we walk through the powerful "palms up, palms down" exercise—a somatic practice that helps physically release burdens we were never meant to carry. We also explore how small shifts in language (from "I'm not good at that" to "I'm not good at that yet") create measurable changes in how we physically experience stress and limitation.Perhaps most powerfully, we discuss reframing our definition of success and embracing the unexpected turns life takes. When plans collapse and dreams shift, surrender becomes not just a spiritual nicety but a vital skill for moving forward. As I share from my own journey, finding peace in God's "second life" for me doesn't minimize what was lost, but opens space for what might still be.Whether you're facing major life transitions or simply feeling overwhelmed by daily pressures, this conversation offers gentle wisdom and practical tools for releasing what weighs you down. Subscribe to Building for Life for more conversations that blend faith, resilience, and practical wisdom for life's challenges.

Transcript:Da: Mikkel kiggede ud over de gyldne trætoppe på Bornholm.En: Mikkel looked out over the golden treetops on Bornholm.Da: Solen skinnede gennem de tynde skyer, og en let brise svævede over retreatcentret.En: The sun shone through the thin clouds, and a gentle breeze wafted over the retreat center.Da: Inde i den hyggelige hovedsal var gulvet dækket af bløde puder, og duften af brændende røgelse fyldte luften.En: Inside the cozy main hall, the floor was covered with soft cushions, and the scent of burning incense filled the air.Da: Mikkel var kommet her for at finde ro, væk fra hans hektiske liv som konsulent.En: Mikkel had come here to find peace, away from his hectic life as a consultant.Da: Tre nye mennesker skulle introduceres i dagens meditationssession.En: Three new people were to be introduced in today's meditation session.Da: Freja, en livsglad kunstner, ledte efter inspiration, og Kasper, en minutiøs kok, var der for at forbedre sin meditationspraksis.En: Freja, a life-loving artist, was searching for inspiration, and Kasper, a meticulous chef, was there to improve his meditation practice.Da: De havde alle fundet sig til rette på puder, klar til hvile.En: They had all settled on cushions, ready to relax.Da: Men der var et lille problem.En: But there was a small problem.Da: Instruktøren, som normalt ledede sessionerne, var forsinket.En: The instructor, who normally led the sessions, was delayed.Da: Deltagerne stirrede nysgerrigt på Mikkel, som sad med lukkede øjne forrest i rummet.En: The participants stared curiously at Mikkel, who sat with closed eyes at the front of the room.Da: Med sit jordfarvet tøj og beroligende udstråling lignede han præcis meditationens instruktør.En: With his earth-toned clothing and calming presence, he looked precisely like the meditation instructor.Da: Misforståelsen opstod, og snart hviskede folk om, hvorvidt Mikkel skulle starte sessionen.En: The misunderstanding arose, and soon people whispered about whether Mikkel should start the session.Da: Mikkel bemærkede den lydløse diskussion omkring sig, og før han vidste det, pegede Freja venligt og sagde: "Skal vi begynde?"En: Mikkel noticed the silent discussion around him, and before he knew it, Freja gently pointed and said: "Shall we begin?"Da: Mikkel blev forbløffet, men der var noget underholdende ved situationen.En: Mikkel was astonished, but there was something amusing about the situation.Da: Han smilede for sig selv og besluttede at spille med.En: He smiled to himself and decided to play along.Da: Han trak vejret dybt og talte: "Forestil jer, at I svæver på et blødt skyer af latter."En: He took a deep breath and spoke: "Imagine you are floating on a soft cloud of laughter."Da: Det var ikke en typisk start, men snart spredte små smil sig blandt gruppen.En: It was not a typical start, but soon small smiles spread among the group.Da: Kasper åbnede det ene øje over sin fulde koncentration.En: Kasper opened one eye over his full concentration.Da: "Forestil jer, at hver udfordring smelter væk med latter," Mikkel fortsatte.En: "Imagine every challenge melting away with laughter," Mikkel continued.Da: En gennemgående lattermildhed bredte sig blandt deltagerne.En: A pervasive sense of amusement spread among the participants.Da: Peberet af humor gjorde, at alle slap lidt af og opnåede en sjælden form for ro.En: The sprinkle of humor allowed everyone to relax a bit and achieve a rare form of tranquility.Da: Man kunne næsten røre ved den usynlige forbindelse mellem dem, som bandt deres energier sammen.En: One could almost touch the invisible bond between them that tied their energies together.Da: Ved slutningen af sessionen, da den rigtige instruktør endelig ankom rød i hovedet, afslørede Mikkel sandheden.En: By the end of the session, when the real instructor finally arrived, red in the face, Mikkel revealed the truth.Da: "Jeg må undskylde," sagde han med et varmt grin.En: "I must apologize," he said with a warm grin.Da: "Jeg er blot en deltager."En: "I'm just a participant."Da: Chok og latter blandede sig symfonisk i rummet.En: Shock and laughter blended symphonically in the room.Da: Men til Mikkels overraskelse bad de ham deltage i flere sessioner.En: But to Mikkel's surprise, they asked him to join more sessions.Da: De havde nydt hans usædvanlige tilgang.En: They had enjoyed his unconventional approach.Da: Denne oplevelse lærte Mikkel, at det ikke altid var det planlagte eller det perfekte, der førte til ro og afstresning.En: This experience taught Mikkel that it wasn't always the planned or the perfect that led to peace and relaxation.Da: I stedet var det menneskelige kontakten og humor, der bragte ham den fred, han søgte.En: Instead, it was the human connection and humor that brought him the peace he sought.Da: Solen begyndte at gå ned, og Mikkel følte sig lettere i kroppen.En: The sun began to set, and Mikkel felt lighter in his body.Da: Retreatet i Bornholm havde givet ham noget uvurderligt, og det havde ikke engang været en del af planen.En: The retreat on Bornholm had given him something invaluable, and it hadn't even been part of

In this episode, we have the joy of chatting with Olivia and Will, parents to sweet 7-week-old baby Audrey. Olivia and Will share the story of their journey to choosing home birth, planning for it, and then discovering at 37 weeks pregnant that it was no longer a viable option for them. Olivia is a neonatal nurse in the NICU - so she sees all the things that can go wrong. This was part of the reason why she and Will didn't want to be a hospital for Audrey's birth. She's also very transparent about not being 100% confident in the decision and having reservations about sharing their plans with others for fear of judgement and less than powerful conversation. It's also wild to hear the difference in healthcare costs and options in different countries (see show notes on our website for an email from Olivia all about it). Olivia and Will live in Australia and while planning their home birth they only spent about $60 for a general practitioner visit and the cost of a birthing pool. Whether they chose to birth at home or in the hospital, it would be free! After they learned they could no longer have a home birth, they worked on finding peace with the situation and preparing themselves for having an amazing birth experience despite the change in plans. Olivia still labored most of the time at home, before traveling to the birthing center where they had their daughter Audrey. Olivia and Will are such a beautiful couple and we're so happy to have connected with them to share their inspiring story on the podcast!
