2026-01-11 | UPDATES #096 | The most serious, system-level legitimacy crisis has hit the regime in Iran, since the revolution of 1979. It's not yet toppled – but is potentially close – and all the ingredients are present for a full-scale revolution. And amidst the massive protests and confrontations, the country has gone dark. The Islamic Republic has hit the switch — cutting internet and communications as protests spread, strikes deepen, and the regime signals it's ready to escalate into lethal repression. Hospitals in numerous towns are reported to be overflowing as the regime turns viscous and murderous. This is not just another flare-up but is radically different in character. The greatest stress-test the regime of the Mullahs in Tehran has faced since the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising—and some analysts now argue Iran meets most of the classic conditions for a successful revolution. In today's episode: what we know, what we can verify, why this time might be different — and why a collapsing Iranian theocracy would be a strategic catastrophe for Putin's Russia. The regime in Tehran is paranoid, not unlike the Kremlin, and as predicted, the military accused foreign “enemies” of fueling the unrest and urged civilians to stay vigilant against so-called “enemy plots”. Few seem to be falling for this false narrative though. ----------SOURCES: Reuters, “Iran authorities signal intensified crackdown as unrest grows,” 10 Jan 2026.

Moojibaba offers a clear, potent deep dive into his core pointings, highlighting the problem of personhood, and revealing the space of Being. "The best way of using the mind is to observe it, but with detachment. Observe what arises, emotionally, energetically, mentally, but try not to log into them. And it may take a while to settle, because so many things will come knocking at your door. But just leave them. Don't fight them. Don't wish anything. Don't desire anything. Just be, and unfold into formlessness." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 19 September 2025

This final Best Of She Slays 2025 episode tackles one of the most important—and most avoided—topics for practice owners and entrepreneurs: money. Not just how to make it, but how to think about it, protect it, and use it as a tool for long-term freedom. Because financial independence isn't built by accident or by blindly following the traditional path—it's built through intentional decisions, better systems, and the willingness to question what you've been taught about wealth.In this episode, you'll hear curated segments that challenge conventional retirement planning, explore how money dynamics show up inside relationships, break down how smarter systems create real profit, confront the hard math behind insurance-based models, and introduce digital assets as a long-term wealth strategy. Together, these conversations offer a grounded, practical look at what it really takes to build wealth as a healthcare provider or business owner—so money stops being a source of stress and starts becoming a vehicle for choice, stability, and freedom.Join the FREE Rich Doc Rising mastermind, register here!Want to listen to the full version of one of the featured episodes?

In this episode, Mirinda shares her honest journey with sugar, dieting, and the lifelong food noise so many women know well. Growing up with mixed messages about food and years of yo-yo dieting, Mirinda explains how sugar slowly began to rule her mood, her thoughts, and her sense of self.We talk about what finally changed: shifting away from weight loss and rules, and toward nourishing her body, stabilizing blood sugar, and focusing on how food actually made her feel. Mirinda shares how letting go of processed sugar, eating real food and healthy fats, and listening to her body brought a level of freedom she never thought was possible.She also reframes the idea of a “treat,” explaining how sugar stopped being something she used for comfort or reward and how choosing foods that help her feel good became the most loving kind of treat.This conversation is about more than sugar. It's about breaking the diet mentality, releasing guilt and perfectionism, and redefining what a “treat” really means — not as restriction or indulgence, but as choosing what helps you feel good, mentally and physically.To get personalized guidance to stop emotional eating and break free from cravings, plus support and accountability... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

Losing the fear of not drinking can feel impossible, can't it? For Lindsey, alcohol was woven into every milestone: sixth-grade sleepovers, college weekends, early marriage, and long workweeks that ended with “just one more” drink on the couch. Drinking wasn't just a habit; it was how she fit in, turned off the noise, and chased that first rush of feeling totally okay for a moment. Over time, the hangovers became brutal, and the mental fallout was even worse—fights with her husband, Sunday dread, and memories she didn't always want to remember. One morning, after a night that ended with a chipped tooth and dry heaving on the kitchen floor while her daughter watched, something inside her shifted. Lindsey found This Naked Mind and, for the first time, felt like someone was telling her she wasn't broken—this is simply what alcohol does. The book became a permission slip to step off the hamster wheel and experiment with not drinking at all. In this episode, Lindsey joins Coach Cole to talk about rebuilding self-trust, reshaping a marriage that was once built on drinks, and becoming the kind of mom whose daughters see her saying “no” with confidence instead of needing a glass to cope. Lindsey and Coach Cole discuss: Lindsey describes the first drink in middle school and how quickly alcohol became tied to identity, popularity, and feeling “okay” for a moment. The progression from curiosity to dependence: chasing euphoria, ignoring red flags, and waking up in emotional and physical pain. How “I'll just drink less” experiments and endless rules kept her stuck in the same cycle of regret, self-doubt, and harsh inner dialogue. The breaking point: a trip that ended with a chipped tooth, a morning spent on the bathroom floor, and her daughter seeing a version of mom Lindsey never wanted to be. Finding This Naked Mind and reframing her story—from “I'm the problem” to “this is what alcohol does,” opening space to question everything. What changed when she began losing the fear of not drinking: more stable moods, clearer health goals as a trainer, and deeper presence with her family. The new foundation of her marriage and parenting—less reactivity, more responsibility for her own choices, and a commitment not to be someone else's story of what they had to overcome. How losing the fear of not drinking allowed Lindsey to feel “light as a feather” and more.

A recent BBC Persian documentary, Taraneh, has recieved millions of views online. It features an Iranian actress who is considered an icon in the country and has been starring in films for nearly 30 years. Her name is Taraneh Alidoosti and in 2022 she was arrested for taking a photograph of herself in her home, not wearing a hijab, and holding a sign showing support for the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' protests that are currently spreading across Iran once more. The film's director is BBC Persian's Pegah Ahangarani and she explains why the documentary had to be filmed in complete secret. BBC Monitoring's Sarbas Nazari reflects on why the film resonates so much in the contect of the protests now taking place in Iran. In November 2025, Cyclone Senyar caused devastating floods and landslides in Indonesia, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life. The extreme weather has also been catestrophic for the Tapanuli orangutan population. Only discovered as a separate species in 2017, the Tapanuli orangutan is found in a small area of North Sumatra and haven't been seen or heard since the landslides. BBC World Service Environment Correspondent Navin Singh Khadka explains the importance of the Tapanuli orangutans and their environment. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi. Produced by Laura Thomas and Caroline Ferguson(Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich.)

To learn about The Freedom Project with Christy- Click here To learn about The Freedom Project with Gary - Click here This special White Light session from The Freedom project opens with a reminder that freedom emerges as identity dissolves—not because we failed at our roles, but because we've outgrown the need for them. Identities like the fixer, caretaker, achiever, victim, or “spiritual one” are costumes built for safety, and their unraveling can feel like joy or friction (loss, endings, illness, financial shifts). Either way, nothing real is being taken—you're being relieved of what's heavy. I ask White Light a question about the concept of PAFA, (presence, awareness, focus and attention) they describe it as simply allowing: staying in the moment, welcoming what comes next, and finding power in the tiny space between what happens and how we respond. They say that this state is inseparable from nervous-system coherence—calm, stillness, breath, and trust—because resistance creates friction in every connection, including the connection to your inner self.

The Great Migration saw more than six million African Americans leave the US South between 1910 and 1970. Though the experiences of migrant laborers are well-known, countless African Americans also left the South to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities and viewed business as key to Black liberation. Detroit's status as a mecca for Black entrepreneurship illuminates this overlooked aspect of the Great Migration story. In Freedom Enterprise, Kendra D. Boyd uses "migrant entrepreneurship" as a lens through which to understand the entwined histories of Black-owned business, racial capitalism, and urban space. Freedom Enterprise follows Black Southerners' journeys to Detroit during the initial wave of migration in the 1910s and 1920s, through their efforts to build a prosperous Black business community in the 1930s and 1940s, to the destruction of that community through urban renewal projects and freeway construction in the 1950s and 1960s. Combining business and social history methods to analyze an eclectic archive, Boyd chronicles migrant entrepreneurs' experiences, highlighting tales of racial and economic violence, Black women's business organizing, illegal business, communist entrepreneurs, and cooperative economics. Boyd uses the framework of racial capitalism to examine migrant entrepreneurs' experiences in twentieth-century America. In the Jim Crow South, African Americans worried about white mobs taking away their property, wealth, and lives. Though they sought refuge in Detroit, migrant entrepreneurs subsequently faced the loss of their livelihoods and the businesses they had spent decades building to the bulldozers of state-sponsored urban redevelopment initiatives. Southern migrants' "freedom enterprise"--their undertaking of attaining freedom through business--was curtailed by the reality of operating within the confines of US racial capitalism. In tracing Black entrepreneurs across the Great Migration, Freedom Enterprise provides important insights into African Americans' activism for racial and economic justice and continued racialized wealth disparities.

Text and Be HeardVegas lights make everything feel possible—until the illusion cracks. We sit down with David, a dueling pianist who performs inside one of the city's most charged environments, to unpack how he broke the gambling cycle without hiding from it. His turning point wasn't a dramatic rock bottom; it was a quiet realization that the real loss wasn't just money, it was time—years traded to a system designed to keep him chasing.We walk through the practical steps that helped him rewire habits and thinking: setting daily goals to reclaim attention, learning how games and apps engineer compulsion, and building guardrails that make good choices easier than risky ones. David explains how the rush of big tips, applause, and late nights can blur judgment, and how small decisions—leaving after a set, banking tips immediately, swapping drinks for water—compound into real freedom. He also shares why “you're not alone” landed harder than any lecture, and how accountability through his relationship created a clear reason to change.If you've ever thought “one more win and I'll stop,” this conversation shows why that promise is part of the trap. We explore neuroplasticity, natural dopamine through healthy routines, and a reframed approach to recovery that swaps shame for clarity. Hear how David went from bargaining with the house to betting on time, relationships, and steady growth—the kind you can actually keep.

The post “How can I be sure that I’m one of the elect?” appeared first on Key Life.

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses a recent incident involving ICE in Minneapolis, where a woman was killed during a confrontation with federal agents. She explores the ideological divisions surrounding law enforcement, the consequences of obstructing federal operations, and the importance of personal responsibility. Kelsi argues that the political left's narrative has contributed to a culture of disrespect towards law enforcement, leading to tragic outcomes. She emphasizes the need for accountability and understanding of the realities of law enforcement actions.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context01:34 The Incident in Minneapolis04:46 Ideological Divisions and Consequences10:52 Reality vs. Ideology16:20 Personal Responsibility and Accountability - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Send us fan responses! Words decide outcomes long before a judge does. We open by reframing names and definitions as levers of power: who authored the dictionary you rely on, and what does that choice assume about your rights, your status, and your consent? From Henry Campbell Black to Daniel Webster, we unpack how private families and publishers shaped the legal language public institutions still use—and how that language quietly sets the rules of the game.We move from language to structure: public versus private power, American Jurisprudence as a private reference inside public courts, and why fiduciary duty matters. If public officers are trustees, then concealment is more than rude—it can be fraud. That lens changes how you handle officials, hearings, and documents. We press on jurisdiction and authority, probing oaths of office, emergency powers, and shifting definitions of “United States.” Whether or not you agree with every legal theory presented, you'll learn to ask sharper questions: Which law applies? Which capacity is being claimed? Where does my consent begin and end?Then we follow the money. The docket isn't just paper; it can behave like finance. Bonds, identifiers, and depository relationships suggest a market logic layered over the courtroom. That perspective leads to practical tactics: define your terms, build a clear record, request oaths and delegations, and challenge ambiguous contracts. If language is the spell, precision is your shield. We share tools to document fiduciary duties, demand transparency, and assert claims to proceeds where appropriate.JOIN DK'S PRIVATE BUSINESS CIRCLEhttps://www.skool.com/donkilam/aboutTEXT "PRIVATE LIFE" TO 702-200-4900https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

The entrepreneurial journey can be one of the most rewarding paths—or the loneliest—depending on how you walk it. In this episode, David Phelps sits down with longtime friend, keynote speaker, and author Tony Rubleski to explore what it really takes to keep going when motivation fades and progress feels slow. Centered around Tony's new book, Don't Quit: 50 Lessons From the Pages and Stages of Life, this conversation unpacks why discipline, not inspiration, is what carries people through the hardest seasons. Together, David and Tony talk candidly about reinvention, forgiveness, gratitude, and the unseen struggles behind long-term success. From entrepreneurship myths and burnout to asking for more, following up, and managing regret, this episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is forged by showing up—especially on the days you don't feel like it.

Freedom doesn't come from having endless flexibility.It comes from knowing what matters and protecting it with intention.In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth Grace Saunders, one of the world's leading time management experts and the founder of Real Life E®, for a grounded, honest conversation about time, boundaries, and self-worth.Elizabeth and I have known each other for over a decade — long before either of us were married or parents — and throughout the years, I've watched her quietly and consistently redefine what time management actually means. Not hustle. Not optimisation. But peace, presence, and intentional living.In this conversation, Elizabeth shares how she became a time management coach by first fixing her own unhealthy relationship with work, why most entrepreneurs struggle more once they leave corporate life, and how planning ahead is the thing that actually creates flexibility, not restriction.We also dive into motherhood, shifting capacity, lowering expectations without lowering standards, and navigating the rise of AI without losing your voice, creativity, or sense of worth.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by freedom, guilty when you rest, or stuck reacting instead of leading your life, this episode will bring clarity, calm, and perspective.What You'll Learn:Why the flexibility of entrepreneurship often drives us insane (and what to do about it)The "infinity pool" model that will revolutionize how you think about your timeThe top three time management challenges almost everyone faces but thinks are unique to themHow to translate your values into concrete actions on your calendar (not just vague intentions)What having two young children has taught a time management expert about lowering expectations and radical prioritizationThe surprisingly emotional reality of running a business in the age of AI (and why your human value matters more than ever) Hosted on Acast.

A doctor recently messaged Vinney Chopra and said, "Your book and your investment guidance changed my life." In this moving episode, Vinney shares real stories from doctors, nurses, and families who spent years caring for others—but were never taught how to care for their own financial future. From discovering passive income through Apartment Syndication Made Easy, to creating monthly cash flow that pays for private school tuition, supports aging parents, and replaces exhausting extra shifts—these are stories of transformation. You'll hear how investing in multifamily, senior living, and mindset changed lives—not overnight, but one smart decision at a time. These messages are why Vinney writes, teaches, and invests with passion: to help good people take control of their money, their peace, and their legacy. If you've ever felt stuck, tired, or unsure where to begin, this episode will remind you that your own testimony may be closer than you think.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the implications of recent Canadian legislation, particularly Bill C-11 and Bill C-9, which aim to regulate online speech and hate crimes. She critiques the government's approach to censorship, arguing that it undermines free speech and leads to a culture of fear and self-censorship. The conversation highlights the dangers of equating words with violence and the potential consequences for society if these laws are enacted.00:00 Introduction to the Conversation01:57 Understanding Bill C-11 and C-912:08 The Implications of Hate Speech Legislation18:01 Cultural Consequences of Censorship - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Michael Reagan, the eldest adopted son of President Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, passed away at age 80 in Los Angeles. He was a man of deep faith who overcame early issues to become an engaging and supportive figure, strongly defending his father, Ronald Reagan, and backing President Trump. He wasn't just the son of a president; he was a strong voice for conservative principles and a defender of the values that made this country great. Also, the military's operation that swiftly removed Nicholas Maduro from Caracas, without injuring any American soldiers, was spectacular. Democrats previously called for Maduro's removal but now criticize the action, raising questions of impeachment of President Trump and war crimes. There's a lack of national unity. In the past both parties would celebrate such an event and praise the president and military, but now Democrats oppose it while their militia protests in U.S. cities. The country is in deep trouble regardless of the president, as constitutional protections for free speech and association are exploited by these groups, now joined by a recurring Hitlerian wing of neo-fascists who celebrate Hitler and Stalin, obsessively trash Jews, evangelical Christians supporting Israel, and the U.S. itself, while promoting Islamism and Sharia law. Later, property rights are fundamental human rights, earned through intellectual and physical labor, reflecting one's limited time on earth to accumulate wealth for family. Slogans like Zohran Mamdani's "warmth of the community" mask an iron fist of centralized government that erodes individual rights and liberties, rejecting Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian values in favor of Islamism and Marxism, which are incompatible with America's founding. The collective dehumanizes individuals and diminishes their creations. Afterward, these ideologies, whether Islamist or Marxist are incompatible with Americanism, posing a survival threat rather than an affordability issue. Marxism has failed everywhere, yet it's not taught in schools, media, or by podcasters. Our generation—parents and grandparents—must reclaim the public square to shield children from brainwashing by these diabolical saboteurs, including the Democrat Party, historically hostile to American beliefs.

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most.  I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty.   This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all.   In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.
