Join us for an enlightening discussion with Tia Slightham, a passionate parenting coach and mother of two, as she shares her journey from being a kindergarten teacher to becoming a certified positive discipline expert. Tia's unique approach emphasizes that parenting is a learned skill, and she has dedicated her career to helping parents foster better relationships with their children. We explore common challenges faced by parents, such as the reliance on ineffective tactics like yelling and bribery, and highlight the importance of acquiring proper parenting skills to create a harmonious family environment. Tia's transformative Parenting with Purpose Method has guided thousands of parents globally, providing them with the tools to enjoy their parenting journey. Listen in as we explore the impact of different parenting styles on children's behavior and motivation. Tia discusses the challenges parents encounter when employing authoritarian or permissive styles, which often lead to anxiety and boundary-pushing in children. We also tackle school-related responsibilities, focusing on fostering self-motivation in children as they transition to higher grades. Tia emphasizes the importance of not making homework the parent's problem and instead setting structured systems and boundaries to encourage a positive learning environment, ultimately strengthening the parent-child connection.

Send us a textGreg Kimble's story defies the ordinary arc of success. From a Capitol Records artist at 15 to a Vegas headliner at 21 making $25,000 weekly, his early trajectory seemed glamorous—until it nearly destroyed him. When his father showed up unannounced to save him from self-destruction, Greg experienced the first of many spiritual nudges that would ultimately redirect his life toward purpose and impact."Everyone has something inside that is needed and necessary in this world," Greg shares with electric conviction. This belief fuels his work through The Final Percent, a company named after witnessing a total solar eclipse in Wyoming. The metaphor is powerful—at 99% coverage, daylight remains equivalent to 10,000 full moons, but that final 1% creates total transformation. This philosophy now drives his approach to personal development and the 15 international masterminds he leads.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Greg's raw honesty about family trauma and forgiveness. Rather than perpetuating cycles of violence with his abusive brother, he chose a different path—"Conflict is inevitable. Combat is a choice." This distinction offers listeners a framework for handling their own difficult relationships without compromising their values or peace.Most striking is Greg's challenge about imagination itself. "Both faith and fear are completely made up," he explains, suggesting we have the power to choose which stories we tell ourselves. Why invent worst-case scenarios when we could just as easily imagine positive outcomes? His practical approach to spirituality frames God not as a "genie" but as a partner who provides opportunities that require our action.Are you living a life worth dying for? As Greg points out, no one knows when their time will end—"life hides the game clock." This sobering reality isn't meant to frighten but to galvanize.

My first guest on Seven Million Bikes is JK Hobson. As a finalist in the 2018 Vietnam Comedy Competition JK is known by many in Saigon as a stand-up, but is a man of many talents. We had so much to talk about I've split this first episode into two parts.Growing up in New York, JK moved to LA with his “fairly well known” thrash-metal band, Crisis. After Crisis split and he returned to University, JK initially came to Vietnam on a study abroad program in 2015, returning in 2016 on a Fulbright Scholarship. He went on to co-found Saigon Funny People, regularly hosting open mic nights and performing stand-up comedy. JK now writes for City Pass Guide, Saigoneer and TaleCity, has appeared on Vietnamese TV AND teaches English. The main questions I'll be asking JK is ‘What do you not do? And where do you find the time?'Part 2Moving forward to 2015 when JK first came to Vietnam we talk about his life here, speaking Vietnamese and why he loves it here.

If they control your mind, they control your life. Today I co-host with my dear friend Brice ‪@EsotericAtlanta‬  to welcome back Cathy O'Brien, author, speaker, and MK Ultra survivor, for a grounded, hope-filled conversation on what mind control looks like now, how trauma is used, and practical ways to take your power back.We get real about:The sliding scale of mind control (from extreme programs to everyday algorithmic nudges), and why trauma + repetition + authority is the classic formula.“Monarch” narratives, alters/DID, and how these ideas show up in pop culture discussed as Cathy's perspective.The AI + media choreography piece: why short clips, fear loops and “urgent” banners keep us reactive.Parents & schools: spotting indoctrination vs education, and building real-world resilience at home.Healing from within (Cathy's big message): opening neural pathways, journaling by hand, safety, boundaries…and why love is the highest antidote to fear.Community, sovereignty and simple daily practices to keep your attention (and heart) free.This episode is about discernment without fear. We clearly separate evidence from interpretation, and focus on what you can do today.

Join us as we welcome Lorie Jones, the inspiring founder of Fearless Financial Advisors, who shares her journey from unexpectedly entering the financial services industry to creating a company dedicated to empowering women through finance. Lorie's story begins with her desire to contribute financially when her children were growing up, leading her to discover a passion for helping others achieve their dreams through financial planning. She discusses the lack of female representation in finance, which motivated her to establish her own firm focused on supporting women, especially during significant life transitions like divorce or loss.  Lorie also highlights the transformative power of storytelling, particularly through her podcast, "Fearless Females." Listen in as she shares how the podcast started as a way to guide young women in her business by featuring the stories of successful women, ultimately giving her the courage to launch her own firm.

What an amazing story! I was so fascinated by Dennis and Emily's decision to leave their jobs as accountants and travel the world with their two kids, Hannah and Aiden. They turned a simple idea into an incredible journey across more than 30 countries. Listening to them talk about the challenges of homeschooling on the road, the cultural differences they've encountered, and the beautiful moments they've shared as a family was truly inspiring. It was a lot to manage with four people on the podcast at once, but their story is so brilliant that I could have kept talking all day.Key talking points:A Spontaneous Decision: The couple's journey began as a simple thought of a short trip, which quickly escalated into a year-long adventure across 30+ countries.The World is a Classroom: The family discusses the challenges and flexibility required for homeschooling their children while traveling, and the constant feeling that they need to be productive.Cultural Identity: Dennis, an American, and Emily, a Vietnamese, share how their backgrounds influenced their relationship and interactions while traveling.Embracing Stereotypes: The conversation touches on humorous cultural stereotypes, such as the belief that basketball makes you taller, and the common concerns about water and ice quality in Vietnam.Kids' Favorite Moments: The children, Hannah and Aiden, share their favorite parts of the trip, with Hannah loving the Maldives and Aiden enjoying Japan for snowboarding. Chapters and Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro to Dennis and Emily: The couple shares how a simple idea of a trip turned into a year-long global adventure.[00:06:00] Leaving a Career for Travel: Dennis and Emily talk about their decision to step away from their accounting jobs in Texas to travel.[00:15:00] Homeschooling on the Road: Discussion about the challenges and strategies of educating their children while moving from country to country.[00:23:00] Cultural Connections and Stereotypes: The couple explores their shared Vietnamese heritage and discusses cultural differences and funny stereotypes.[00:30:00] The Kids' Perspective: Hannah and Aiden reveal their favorite countries and moments from their travels.[00:38:00] Wrapping Up the Adventure: Final thoughts from th"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

Are you always the one saying yes — even when you want to say no? If you're constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own, you might be stuck in the people pleasing trap — and it could be rewiring your brain in dangerous ways. In this episode, I share how chronic people pleasing not only impacts your emotional well-being but may also put your cognitive health at risk.What to Listen For[00:02:10] How social connections reduce dementia risk — and why quality matters more than quantity[00:04:00] The childhood experience that rewired Amy's brain to prioritize others over herself[00:06:30] The anxious loop people pleasers live in: scanning for approval and avoiding rejection[00:08:10] The advice from a mentor that changed everything: “No is a complete sentence”[00:09:20] Why people pleasing is a form of self-abandonment[00:10:30] The fawn response: how appeasing others is a trauma-based coping mechanism[00:11:50] The neurological impact of people pleasing: cortisol, hippocampal shrinkage, and memory loss[00:13:15] Brene Brown's distinction between “fitting in” and “true belonging” — and how it applies to brain health[00:15:40] The hidden toll on cognitive function: anxiety, indecision, and loss of interoception[00:21:10] 3 strategies to rewire your brain and stop compulsive complianceChronic people pleasing isn't just draining — it's dangerous. It keeps your brain in a constant stress loop, contributes to inflammation, and erodes your self-trust. But the good news is this: your brain is plastic, and with every boundary you set, you're creating a new pathway toward resilience, clarity, and health. Start by inserting a pause, practicing low-stakes boundaries, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

“Everyday life in Saigon means navigating sugar in everything—from coffee to orange juice—and I can't have any of it.” – Jane HaMy guest today is Jane Ha, a researcher in behavioral science who has lived in Hanoi, the U.S., the U.K., and now Saigon. Jane's story is as much about resilience as it is about culture—living with diabetes in one of the sweetest food environments in the world, while also studying the consumer habits that shape what we all eat and drink.What struck me most is how her personal challenge with diabetes gave her a unique lens on Vietnam's rapid changes. She sees both the risks of a sugar-heavy culture and the opportunities in the rise of healthier, sugar-free alternatives. And she links it all to bigger shifts: from Gen Z's cocktail culture to the way Vietnamese consumers demand convenience, speed, and personalization.Jane also opened up about the culture shocks of living in Oklahoma and Ohio, where she learned what it really meant to be “different.” Returning to Vietnam, she realized Saigon allowed her to merge all the versions of herself—the East and the West, tradition and modernity—without fear of judgment.This conversation reminded me how food, identity, and culture are all connected. And how Vietnam, in all its complexity, forces us to constantly rethink how we live.Main Talking PointsLiving with diabetes in Vietnam's sugar-saturated food culture.How manufacturers and Gen Z are reshaping health trends.The psychology of Vietnamese shopping: from discounts to convenience.The cultural shift in drinking—from beer halls to cocktail bars.The boom-and-bust nature of Vietnamese trends: milk tea to Manuka honey.Culture shock in Oklahoma and Ohio, and lessons on race and identity.Finding freedom in Saigon as a bridge between East and West.Chapters & Timestamps02:05 | Life with diabetes in Vietnam: sugar everywhere.10:40 | Health awareness, sugar taxes, and new consumer trends.20:15 | Vietnamese shoppers: price-sensitive or value-driven?29:30 | Gen Z's changing drinking culture and the impact of zero-alcohol laws.41:00 | Cocktail bars, milk tea, and why some trends boom then bust.45:20 | From Hanoi to Oklahoma: culture shock and unexpected lessons."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

Send Us a Message!Psychedelics and plant medicine have become increasingly intertwined with modern spiritual practices, but are these substances truly necessary for profound spiritual experiences? This question sits at the heart of our candid conversation about the relationship between Shamanism, plant medicine, and psychedelics.The conversation delves into the long-term integration process of psychedelic experiences, contrasting it with conscious shamanic methods that engage both mind and spirit in real time. Using the metaphor of an escalator versus stairs, we emphasize that while both paths can lead to transformation, shamanic techniques—like breathwork and meditation—build inner strength without giving power away to external tools.Along the way, we discuss:The relationship between psychedelics, plant medicine, and spiritualityQuestioning the necessity of substances for spiritual experiencesOur unique perspectives and experiences with psychedelicsthe difference between plant medicine and psychedelicsRisks of giving spiritual power away to substancesThe importance of integration after psychedelic experiencesThe stairs vs. escalator metaphor for spiritual growthThe role of your subconscious mind in the use of psychedelicsEmpowerment through conscious Shamanic techniquesAnd so much more!The Moon Rising team brings diverse perspectives to this nuanced topic, challenging the assumption that psychedelics are necessary for spiritual growth.Ready to expand and heal without the use of psychedelics?
