Why Isn't Everyone Becoming the One? with Sheleana Aiyana If you keep attracting the same relationship in a different body… this conversation changes everything. In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sheleana Aiyana, founder of Rising Woman and bestselling author of Becoming the One, to explore the deeper truth behind conscious partnership. This is not a conversation about “manifesting your person.” It's about becoming the version of you who no longer abandons herself. Sheleana shares her journey from foster care, addiction, and abusive relationships to becoming a guide for millions of women healing attachment wounds and building conscious love. Together, they unpack: Why healing the mother wound and father wound transforms your relationships The difference between manifestation and nervous system safety What shadow work actually means (and why it isn't self-blame) How to stop outsourcing your wholeness Why sometimes things have to fall apart before real love can arrive If you've ever wondered: “Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?” “Am I doing manifestation wrong?” “Why isn't the relationship here yet?” This episode offers a grounded, compassionate reframe. You cannot manifest sustainable love from a stressed nervous system. Meditation helps you unmanifest stress. Shadow work helps you metabolize your past. Conscious creation becomes possible from coherence. About Sheleana Aiyana Sheleana Aiyana is the founder of Rising Woman and bestselling author of Becoming the One.

On February 21, 2026, the University of Arkansas honored Razorback legend Pat Foster during halftime of the Missouri game — an Arkansas native, former Hog standout, and assistant under Eddie Sutton who helped build the foundation of a national powerhouse in the 1970s. That rise paved the way for the recruitment and success of "The Triplets" — Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph — and their unforgettable run to the 1978 Final Four. In this special Hog Pod episode, we look back on that monumental era through the voices of Frank Broyles, Ron Brewer, Sidney Moncrief, Joe Kleine, Jim Counce, Chuck Barrett, Rick Schaeffer, and Matt Zimmerman, from Part 1 of Hogs Plus' documentary, 100 Seasons of Arkansas Basketball.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.This is a second question from a listener named Tabitha who adopted a baby boy last year. Tho the adoption looked like it might be at least semi-open, it's effectively closed for now because the baby's birth mom is no longer communicating even with the agency. Question: All our training spoke to the benefits of open adoption. We also know (our baby) has two older siblings living with grandparents. There is also a toddler-aged sibling who was adopted. Like us, first mom is in her early 40s, so she's got life experience. How do we handle questions that arise when baby G is older, with so little info? We seem to be a rarity in this day and age, with a closed adoption not of our choosing. I definitely respect mom's choices, but I know questions will pop up on our little one's end down the road.Resources:Strategies for Maintaining Sibling ConnectionsHelping Siblings Separated by Adoption or Foster Care - Weekend WisdomHandling Social Media & Birth Family Contact with Your Adopted, Foster, or Kinship KidsSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Leading with Heart: Transforming Organizational Culture through Alignment and TrustIn a world where organizational trust is at an all-time low and executive burnout has become the silent epidemic of the boardroom, the need for heart-centered leadership is no longer a "soft" luxury—it is a strategic necessity. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Hanna Bauer, the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, to discuss a revolutionary approach to professional excellence. Drawing from her harrowing personal journey of surviving terminal heart disease through a pioneering medical procedure, Hanna offers a perspective on leadership that integrates the precision of Six Sigma with the profound empathy of servant leadership. Their conversation serves as a roadmap for founders and executives who are ready to trade the "hustle at all costs" mentality for a high-performance culture rooted in rhythm, connection, and joy.The BEAT Framework: Harmonizing People, Purpose, and PerformanceModern organizations are often plagued by systemic misalignment, where 71% of digital transformations fail not because of the technology, but because of a lack of people readiness. Hanna addresses this by shifting the leadership metaphor from a linear "input-output" machine to a dynamic, synchronized dance. When a leader finds their "rhythm," they move beyond merely managing tasks and begin to foster psychological safety, allowing for honest dialogue and innovation without fear of retribution. This transformation requires the courage to perform a "cultural audit," using root cause analysis to identify outdated processes or toxic mindsets that no longer serve the organization's mission. By "burning away" these inefficiencies, leaders create the necessary space for new, healthy pathways of communication and collaboration to flourish.To bridge the gap between high-level vision and daily execution, Hanna introduces the BEAT framework: Belief, Engage, Act, and Transform. This model emphasizes that true excellence begins with a clarity of values (Belief) that must be authentically shared with the team (Engage) before purposeful execution (Act) can lead to sustainable change (Transform). For the 60% of leaders currently reporting symptoms of burnout, this framework provides a method to reduce cognitive overload by focusing on "less, but better." By prioritizing initiatives that align strictly with core values, leaders can normalize self-care and boundaries within their teams, ensuring that the organization maintains its focus on its "internal customers"—the employees who drive the brand's success.Implementation of this heart-centered approach starts with small, intentional "mini shifts" rather than overwhelming overhauls. Hanna suggests that leaders should act as facilitators of joy, creating rituals that celebrate wins and invite diverse perspectives into every decision-making process. This commitment to transparency and consistency builds the foundation of trust necessary to navigate times of uncertainty. When an organization's systems and processes are designed to serve human needs, the results are seen not just in the bottom line, but in the retention of top talent and the creation of a workplace where excellence and fulfillment exist in perfect harmony.About Hanna BauerHanna Bauer is the Founder and CEO of heartnomics, a keynote speaker, and an executive coach dedicated to heart-centered leadership. After a life-saving, experimental heart surgery, she dedicated her career to helping leaders align their passion with their performance, using her unique "HEARTnomics" philosophy to drive organizational transformation.About heartnomicsheartnomics is a consulting and coaching firm that specializes in organizational alignment, trust-building, and leadership development. The company provides holistic audits and frameworks—including the BEAT and CORE models—to help businesses identify systemic issues and foster a culture of excellence, purpose, and servant leadership.Links Mentioned in This Episodeheartnomics Official WebsiteHanna Bauer on LinkedInConclusionThis conversation with Hanna Bauer highlights that the most resilient organizations are those that prioritize the human element. By auditing your culture for alignment and having the courage to lead with vulnerability, you can transform your leadership from a source of stress into a source of inspiration.Key Episode Highlights:Leadership as Rhythm: Why syncing with your team is like a dance that requires constant connection and shared joy.The Trust Foundation: Addressing the critical statistics of organizational distrust and how transparency serves as the ultimate remedy.The "Hustle with Heart" Shift: Moving away from linear input-output thinking to recognize the complexity of human-centered work.Systemic Auditing: Using tools like root cause analysis to identify why talent leaves and where engagement drops.Mini Shifts for Big Impact: The power of making small, weekly adjustments to reinforce new, healthy leadership habits.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Robyn Powell is a devoted mother and grandmother who has played an integral role in supporting her daughter's journey as a foster parent. Her family has been involved in the foster care system for several years, providing a nurturing home for children in need. Robyn is a compassionate advocate for foster care, sharing her experiences to inspire others to consider this rewarding endeavor. Her insights and personal anecdotes highlight both the challenges and joys of fostering, illustrating her deep commitment to the well-being of her foster grandchildren. Key Points: Fostering can bring immense rewards, nurturing bonds that enhance both the child’s and the family's lives. The journey from fostering to adoption may be lengthy due to procedural complexities but can provide lasting security for the children. Successful fostering requires a big heart, patience, and a supportive community or partnership. Open adoptions and ongoing contact with biological families can benefit foster children by maintaining connections to their roots. Fostering isn't limited to perfect circumstances; single individuals and those without prior experience can also offer invaluable support to children. Notable Quotes: "Well, if you're taking these children, they're our grandchildren and that's that. And whether it's for six months or six years or the next 60 years, that's how it will be." - Robyn Powell "It's hard, isn't it? It's horrible to take children away from parents. Of course, it is." - Robyn Powell "It's not for the faint-hearted." - Robyn Powell "I think they already have an understanding of how much they've been given." - Robyn Powell "To love, to dear lovable little boys whom everybody loves because they're just wonderful kids." - Robyn Powell Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nineteen Seventy-Six. America's bicentennial was a great year for cinema, with films like A Star is Born, King Kong, All the President's Men, Carrie, and The Omen heating up the box office, and instant classics Rocky and Network earning the most accolades. After a six-decade career in the director's chair, Alfred Hitchcock released his last film, Family Plot, around the same time that an up-and-coming young director by the name of Martin Scorsese released his breakout hit, the fifth film of his budding career. Centered on a disillusioned New York cabbie played by Robert De Niro, this rain-and-neon-soaked meditation on summer in the city proved to be a defining outing by both actor and director. With a cast including Cybill Shephard, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, and a very young Jodie Foster, the film racked up awards, including the Palme d'Or at Cannes and four nominations at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro, and Best Supporting Actress for Foster. Despite controversies over its content, the film was hailed as a hit. Now, fifty years later, we're catching a ride with Taxi Driver and talking to you about it!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Money Talks is a series exploring a godly perspective on financial health. For many people, money is one of the biggest sources of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. A lack of confidence, mounting pressure, and fear about the future leave countless people feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Over the coming weeks, we'll be opening up what the Bible says about money—our mindset, our priorities, and how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us. Scripture reminds us to pay attention to the state of what we've been given, recognising that wealth is temporary, but wisdom lasts. This series is about bringing hope where there's anxiety, clarity where there's confusion, and freedom where poor financial management has created fear. Through biblical teaching, pastoral insight, and prayer, we'll look at contentment, putting God first, wise stewardship, and living a life of unusual generosity—the kind of life that reflects God's heart for each of us. Whether you feel confident with money or completely overwhelmed by it, Money Talks is an invitation to face finances with faith, wisdom, and freedom. To conclude the series Pastor Paul Reid brought a great message on Stewardship. Catch up on 'Make it count' here.

Do we know when will this Order go into effect? What impact could rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III have on businesses and drug testing? How does this impact employment drug testing now and how could that change if Marijuana is rescheduled? Does this Executive Order allow for both recreational and medical use of marijuana like we have under Michigan's current state laws? How should multi-state employers navigate differences between federal reclassification and varying state marijuana laws without creating compliance gaps?

Selective focus of dried weed and bottles with medical cannabis lettering near doctor writing prescription Employers are facing one of the most consequential shifts on workplace drug policy in recent memory. On December 18, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order that reclassifies marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. While this does not legalize marijuana federally, this change could significantly alter how courts and agencies evaluate ADA accommodation requests. With the federal directive to move marijuana to Schedule III, courts and enforcement agencies may reinterpret what constitutes a “reasonable accommodation”, especially for employees who are lawfully using state‑approved medical cannabis.

Read the blog postTL;DR: Toyota's real competitive advantage is not its tools -- it is mutual trust and mutual respect. Leaders are responsible for cultivating both. When trust is present, employees speak up, problems surface early, and continuous improvement accelerates. Without it, Lean becomes mechanical and unsustainable.When executives discuss Toyota, the conversation often centers on tools.Kanban. Andon. Standardized work. A3 thinking.Those matter. But Toyota's sustained performance does not come from tools alone. It comes from the leadership philosophy that makes those tools work.At the center of that philosophy is mutual trust and mutual respect.Not as cultural decoration.As operational necessity.Toyota is explicit: improvement depends on people surfacing problems quickly. That only happens when trust flows in both directions.Toyota's own guiding principles website says they:"Foster a corporate culture that enhances both individual creativity and the value of teamwork, while honoring mutual trust and respect between labor and management."Leaders must trust employees to act responsibly.Employees must trust leaders to respond constructively.Without that reciprocity, performance deteriorates.

Now that we're well into February, the New Year's #resolutions you set at the beginning of the year might not be top of mind anymore ... but that's okay! It's the perfect time to rethink what real growth looks like.  This month's episode of Teens Tap In sparks an honest conversation about the stigmas and misconceptions surrounding resolutions.

Is your relationship with alcohol driven by habit or a hidden "inner critic"? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by world-renowned hypnotherapist Georgia Foster to discuss her revolutionary "7 Days to Drink Less" program and why willpower is actually the weakest tool for changing your habits. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional architecture of drinking and why societal shame often prevents real progress.  Georgia Foster explains the actual science of hypnotherapy, debunking the "magician" myths to show how the subconscious mind holds the key to moderation.  We explore the personality types behind drinking, from perfectionists to people-pleasers, and discuss how to silence the inner critic that drives the urge to over-consume.  This is an honest conversation about finding the middle ground, removing the stigma of "quitting," and reclaiming your authentic self without the weight of alcohol-induced shame.   Key Takeaways & Revelations Willpower vs. The Mind: Why willpower is ineffective for long-term change and how hypnotherapy targets the emotional root of the habit. The "Middle Ground" Approach: Why drinking less is often a more sustainable and achievable goal than complete sobriety for many individuals. Boredom & Emotional Triggers: Understanding how curiosity and awareness can dismantle the automatic response to drink when bored. The Inner Critic: How addressing the negative internal dialogue can stop the cycle of "shame drinking" and perfectionism. Personality Patterns: Identifying the difference between "perfectionist" and "pleaser" drinking styles to create a personalized path to wellness.   Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction to Georgia Foster and Her Work 02:27 - The Science of Hypnotherapy 05:28 - Understanding Drinking Habits and Emotional Triggers 08:16 - The Role of Shame in Drinking 11:18 - Changing the Narrative Around Drinking 14:23 - The Inner Critic and Its Impact on Drinking 17:19 - Boredom and Drinking 20:27 - The Journey to Reducing Alcohol Consumption 23:25 - The Seven Days to Drink Less Program 35:48 - The Power of Hypnosis in Personal Growth 39:18 - Understanding Drinking Patterns: Perfectionists vs. Pleasers 43:21 - Finding Balance: The Middle Ground in Drinking 48:23 - The Role of Alcohol in Social Situations 52:31 - Accessibility and Affordability of Self-Help Programs   Find Georgia Foster here: Website: https://georgiafoster.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgiafosterofficial     Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/   |  https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/      UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/   Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/

What does it mean to experience genuine freedom today? And how can a study of God's attributes bring that freedom? In this episode, we talk with pastor JP Foster about his new book (co-written with Talbot professor Matt Williams): Finding Freedom in Jesus: The 21 Attributes of Your Identity in Christ. We discuss how understanding God's character can transform our understanding of who we are, and as a result, leading to relational, spiritual, and emotional freedom.  JP Foster serves as Senior Pastor at Faithful Central Bible Church, one of the largest African American churches in Los Angeles. His leadership and Biblical exposition have impacted thousands both in the Los Angeles area and around the world, as he encourages people to build their lives on the foundation of God's word.

Guest: David Davenport. Davenport describes Reagan's return to limited government to foster opportunity, contrasting this approach with the modern, ambiguous shift toward "equity" rather than equality.

There's no better way to celebrate both Valentine's Day AND also my birthday than by talking about Hell Or High Water! David Mackenzie's layered Robin Hood-esque modern western was my #1 movie of 2016, partly because entire cast is fantastic. Jeff Bridges was nominated for his supporting work, but Ben Foster is even better. And Taylor Sheridan's Texas-set story they're all in is complex because we're rooting for guys who rob banks…and yet everyone other than the retiring Texas Ranger throw their chips in with the thieves Foster and Chris Pine. I also spent a lot of time in this rehashing the infamous 2016 Oscars, but for GOOD reasons. So what DON'T you want, little brother, as I foot my hat to present the 717th edition of Have You Ever Seen.

Hey guys,Today's episode is one that I didn't even fully plan — it was born out of a walk around a track, watching people, thinking about life, thinking about attitude, thinking about purpose.And I want to ask you something right out of the gate:Who's waiting for you on the other side of your obedience?Because here's what I know — one of the biggest predictors of life expectancy isn't diet.It's not exercise.It's not even genetics.It's purpose.It's having a why.It's having something that pulls you out of bed in the morning because someone needs you to show up.In this episode, I share the powerful story of Viktor Frankl — a Holocaust survivor who lost everything. His manuscript. His freedom. His family. His name. And yet, he discovered something that can't be taken from any human being:The freedom to choose your attitude in any given circumstance.You can't control what happens to you.But you can always control how you respond.And I contrast that with real-life moments I've witnessed — people who've walked through immense pain yet carry light… and others who seemingly “have it all” but live in constant complaint.The difference?Attitude.Purpose.Gratitude.We talk about:Why complaining is a public declaration of defeatHow gratitude literally rewires your perspectiveThe danger of “give-up-itis”Why storms are seasonal, not permanentHow your purpose acts as drag power to pull you forwardAnd how an unexamined life leads to frustrationAnd I'll tell you this…If you're walking through hell right now — this episode is for you.Because storms always end.But bitterness can last a lifetime if you let it.You are needed.Your perspective matters.And someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience.Tie your kite string to your why — and let it pull you forward.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – The real predictor of longevity: purpose01:30 – Attitude makes the difference in how people endure pain02:20 – “Quit complaining” and what it really reveals03:10 – A life lived on purpose until the very end04:15 – Viktor Frankl and the decision that changed everything05:30 – Honor your father and mother: the visa decision06:20 – “Give-up-itis” inside concentration camps07:10 – He who has a why can endure almost any how08:00 – Rewriting a future inside a nightmare09:00 – “What's waiting for you on the outside?”10:15 – Why the world is waiting for your unique DNA11:10 – 12 million lives changed by one man's pain12:10 – The last human freedom: choosing your attitude13:20 – Gratitude as a daily discipline14:00 – Foster's attitude shift moment in the car15:30 – You can't control events — only your response16:15 – If you're walking through hell, shift your lens17:15 – Everything that shows up is here to evolve you18:00 – An unexamined life is a frustrated life19:00 – Tie your kite string to your why20:00 – Who's waiting on the other side of your obedience?Be intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!
