In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Ilia Delio continues her conversation with neurotheologian Shaleen Kendrick on the practical meaning of Christogenesis, wholeness, and adaptive evolution. Shaleen reflects on what she calls “evolutionary mismatch,” the gap between our rapidly changing world and the neurobiological capacities we need to meet it with wisdom, compassion, and creativity.Together, Ilia and Shaleen explore how spirituality can become a lived practice of integration: not simply what we believe about God, but who we are and what we do each day. Drawing on neuroscience, process theology, epigenetics, and the image of living systems, Shaleen invites us to imagine people less as machines to be optimized and more as plants to be cultivated toward wholeness.Later in the episode, the conversation turns to Christianity in transition, the need for new systems, and the possibility of “wholeness-making” as a guiding concern for families, institutions, and the planet. Shaleen also shares the metaphor of jazz as a way to understand harmony, difference, and the creative work of becoming whole in real time.ABOUT SHALEEN KENDRICKRev.

This week's theme: Mobilize In this powerful episode of From Fear to Fire, Sandy Rosenthal shares how one conversation after Hurricane Katrina ignited her mission to uncover the truth behind the catastrophic flooding in New Orleans. She explains how engineering failures by the Army Corps of Engineers caused devastating levee collapses and how she worked tirelessly to mobilize public awareness, challenge misinformation, and correct the national narrative. Through persistence, courage, and advocacy, she helped influence major media outlets, including the Associated Press, to accurately report the role of levee failure in the disaster. Throughout the conversation, Sandy discussed leadership, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the importance of speaking up even when facing powerful opposition. Sandy also shares her current mission to mobilize support for engineering failure education so future engineers can learn from past disasters and prevent similar tragedies. The episode delivers an inspiring message about resilience, accountability, and using your voice to create meaningful change, reminding listeners that true leadership often begins when ordinary people choose to stand up for what they know is right.

Speaker, author, adventurer, and host Heather Hansen O'Neill takes you on the journey from fear to fire. Today, we talk about how community advocates mobilized awareness, challenged misinformation surrounding Hurricane Katrina, and turned adversity into a mission for accountability, leadership, and lasting change. Sandy Rosenthal After Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures in New Orleans, Sandy Rosenthal founded the nonprofit Levees.org with 25,000 supporters nationwide. Her book––Words Whispered in Water––is about how she exposed the culprit in the catastrophe––the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers––and how the agency spent millions covering up its mistakes. Rosenthal is an advocate for the 62% of the American population living by levees. Sandy hosts a weekly podcast called Beat the Big Guys where she coaches her national audience on how to take on the big guys in their own communities.

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Ilia Delio speaks with neurotheologian Shaleen Kendrick about neuroscience, contemplative practice, and the biology of spiritual experience. Shaleen shares her journey from conservative evangelical ministry through deconstruction, suffering, and contemplative prayer into the emerging field of neurotheology.Together, Ilia and Shaleen explore how religious experience is not separate from the body but mediated through it. They consider how God-language, belief, prayer, trauma, neuroplasticity, and contemplative practice all shape the brain and body—and how changing our images of God can change the very neural pathways through which we experience reality.Later in the episode, they discuss the resistance many theologians have to locating spiritual experience in neurobiology, the promise and complexity of psychedelics and healing, and the growing scientific evidence that spirituality is an innate human capacity. Rather than reducing God to biology, this conversation asks what becomes possible when we understand the body as the living temple of divine encounter.ABOUT SHALEEN KENDRICKRev.

In Acts 2, the disciples are waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit — but Pentecost does not arrive as quiet comfort or private reassurance. It comes as wind, fire, noise, movement, and courage. In this sermon, “From Fear to Fire,” Rev. Dr. Alix D. Pridgen reflects on how the Spirit transforms frightened people into witnesses, turning silence into speech and fear into faithful action.Through the story of Peter, a personal reflection on public speaking, and the witness of Aqualyn Kennedy, this episode explores how Pentecost is not just an event in the church's past. It is what God is still doing: giving people a voice, setting the church on fire with mercy, and sending ordinary people into the world with good news.

This week's theme: Career Transition In this episode of “From Fear to Fire,” Tammy Gooler Loeb shares valuable insights on career transition and the importance of working from the inside out. She explains how many people build careers based on expectations, stability, or strengths rather than true fulfillment, often leading to burnout or dissatisfaction later in life. Tammy encourages listeners to reconnect with their values, trust their intuition, and take ownership of their career paths in an ever-changing work environment. The conversation also explores practical ways to navigate career transitions with confidence, including staying curious, building strong relationships, and creating flexible career plans. Tammy reminds listeners that meaningful work starts with self-awareness and the courage to pursue what truly feels right.

This week's theme: Antifragility In this episode of From Fear to Fire, Heather talks with Michael Snelgrove about adventure, growth, and the power of preparation. Michael shares how experiences such as climbing Mount Rainier, crossing the Atlantic by sailboat, and jumping from airplanes shaped his belief that with enough training and preparation, people are capable of far more than they think. Rather than asking, “Can I do this?” he encourages people to focus on what is truly valuable to them and trust that they can develop the skills needed to achieve it. The heart of the conversation centers on Antifragility, the idea that some people do not just survive challenges, they actually become stronger because of them. Michael explains that while a fixed mindset breaks under pressure and resilience simply withstands it, Antifragility allows people to grow through chaos and discomfort. He uses examples such as joining Toastmasters International despite a fear of speaking, deliberately stepping into difficult situations, and questioning identities that no longer serve us. The episode leaves listeners with an inspiring reminder that growth often comes from intentionally pushing beyond comfort and creating opportunities to become stronger, more capable, and more fulfilled.

Alongside his professional pursuits, Michael enjoys some very calm activities (like tons of reading) and some very adventurous things (like hiking, racing sailboats, and parenting!). He’s jumped out of planes, crossed oceans, climbed mountains, and consistently finds himself enjoying new challenges – always trying to embrace an anti-fragile mindset. He lives in Annapolis Maryland with his wife, young daughter, and an old dog.

The Resurrection of Christ: "From Fear to Faith" by Mission Ebenezer Family Church

In this sermon, we examine the closing words of Jesus in John 16:16–33, spoken to disciples overwhelmed with sorrow, perplexity, and fear as His crucifixion draws near. Yet even in His own coming anguish, Christ lovingly strengthens His followers with hope. He reminds them that their sorrow will be transformed into lasting joy, that through His finished work they will have direct access to the Father in prayer, and that though trouble awaits them in this world, they can take courage because He has overcome it.Jesus does not hide the reality of suffering, confusion, or opposition, but He anchors His people in something greater: His presence, His promises, and His victory. In Him, believers find joy no circumstance can steal, access to the Father through prayer, and peace that stands firm in the midst of tribulation.Key Points:1. From Sorrow to Joy2. From Anguish to Access3. From Fear to Courage

“From Fear to Faith” Genesis 3:6-11No More Fear - Living Life with a Living SaviorWe live in a world filled with fear—fear for our kids and marriages, fear of sickness and job loss, fear of the future and the headlines, even fear of death itself. Many people feel trapped by these fears, either trying to control everything around them or resigning themselves to the thought, “That's just how I am.”But the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into those fears.In this series, we will explore what it means to live life in light of a living Savior. If Christ had not been raised, many of our fears would be completely justified. But because the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive, everything has changed. His resurrection gives us a new foundation for our faith, a new identity as His people, and a new way to face the fears that shape our lives.Again and again, we can return to this central truth: because Jesus is alive, fear does not have the final word. Through the power of the resurrection, we can move from being gripped by fear to being grounded in the perfect love of a risen Savior.

This week's theme: Significance This episode centers on the journey from pursuing traditional success to embracing significance as a deeper and more meaningful life goal. Through the conversation with Cary Rowell, the discussion highlights how many people spend their lives chasing achievement, only to find it unfulfilling. The idea of significance shifts the focus toward making a difference in the lives of others, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes from contribution, purpose, and impact rather than status or material success. The episode reinforces that this mindset is accessible to anyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstances. A key theme throughout the episode is that living with significance creates energy, purpose, and a stronger sense of connection to others. Keri shares personal experiences, including his health challenges, which motivated him to complete his book and clarify his message to the world. The conversation also illustrates how ordinary individuals can create extraordinary impact within their communities through intentional actions, compassion, and service. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to take action now, reminding them that living a life of Significance starts with small, meaningful choices made every day.

From Fear to Faith: Meeting Christ on the Way Today's Easter Homily centers on the Resurrection as the very foundation of the Christian faith. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, the Homily reflects on the experience of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, who approach the tomb filled with love . . . but also anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. Instead of finding the crucified Christ, they encounter an empty tomb, an angel, and a powerful message: “Do not be afraid.” Do Not Be Afraid The homily emphasizes that the Resurrection is not just an event, but a new beginning . . . a “first day” of creation, where God renews and restores life. Just as the women came with worries and questions, so too do we carry our own burdens . . . fear, illness, uncertainty about loved ones, and struggles in faith. Yet, like them, we are invited to move forward in faith despite not seeing clearly. A key insight is that the women encounter Jesus only after they begin to act in faith . . . they believe the message and start moving. This teaches that Christ meets us not when everything is certain, but as we step forward in trust. The call to go to Galilee symbolizes a return to one's origin of faith . . . our own “Galilee” being our baptism, where we first encountered Christ. The message is to renew that commitment and rediscover our mission. The homily concludes with a relatable analogy from sports: once you know your team has already won, you can watch the game without fear. In the same way, the Resurrection assures us that God has already won, that His love is stronger than death, and therefore we can live without fear.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, Christopher Lochhead moves over to the guest chair and answer our questions about AI, Creator Capitalists, and the future of work.  At the AI and Copilot Summit in San Diego, Christopher Lochhead had a conversation that resonated far beyond a typical business keynote. Speaking to hundreds of executives, he challenged the dominant narrative around artificial intelligence. Instead of focusing on fear, disruption, and job loss, he reframed AI as the greatest creative unlock in human history. His message was not about survival in an automated world, but about reinvention. At the heart of his perspective is a shift from knowledge work to creation. As AI makes both knowledge and execution increasingly accessible, the real question is no longer what we know or how efficiently we work. The question becomes what we choose to create and how we differentiate ourselves in a world flooded with sameness. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The End of Knowledge Work as We Know It For decades, careers were built on the idea that knowledge is power. Professionals were valued for what they knew and how effectively they could apply that knowledge. This model defined the rise of the knowledge worker, where expertise and execution were the foundation of economic value. AI is dismantling that foundation. With tools that can generate insights and execute tasks instantly, both knowledge and execution are becoming commoditized. As a result, roles centered on repeating known processes are rapidly losing relevance. This shift is not just technological. It is existential, forcing individuals and organizations to rethink what truly creates value in the modern economy.   From Fear to Opportunity in the Age of AI Much of the public conversation around AI is driven by fear, particularly the fear of job loss. Lochhead acknowledges these concerns but argues that they overshadow a more important truth. Every major technological leap has created entirely new categories of work, even as it disrupted old ones. AI is no different, but the pace is unprecedented. Instead of focusing solely on what might disappear, there is a need to explore what becomes possible. The real opportunity lies in recognizing that AI expands human capability. It enables individuals to build, experiment, and innovate at a scale that was previously unimaginable, opening doors for entirely new career paths.   The Rise of the Creator Capitalist In a world where execution is automated and knowledge is abundant, creation becomes the ultimate differentiator. Lochhead introduces the concept of the creator capitalist, someone who leverages their unique perspective, skills, and experiences to produce meaningful value. This is not about following passion alone, but about identifying one's distinct strengths and applying them in ways that matter. The creator capitalist mindset also reframes personal assets. Relationships, reputation, expertise, and financial resources become forms of capital that can be combined and amplified through AI. Those who learn to connect their individuality with scalable tools will define the future of work, while those who cling to outdated models risk being left behind.   Links Want to catch more episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast?

This week's theme: Transformation & Energy In this episode, Heather speaks with Karin Edgett about her journey from childhood trauma and silence to becoming an artist, intuitive, and guide for others. Karin shares how she discovered her voice through art, poetry, and symbolism, eventually using her gifts to help others reconnect with themselves. Throughout the conversation, she explains how transformation & energy have shaped her path, from learning to trust her intuition to understanding the deeper messages found in creativity, flowers, and human connection. She encourages listeners to become curious, heal old wounds, and embrace the inner wisdom that has been there all along. The discussion also explores the role of transformation & energy in food, wellness, and spiritual growth. Karin believes that the foods we choose, the intentions we set, and the gratitude we practice all influence our physical and emotional well-being. She shares why more natural, plant-based foods may support higher energy and awareness, and discusses the inspiration behind her book about the healing qualities of garlic. The episode concludes with a flower card reading for Heather that offers a simple but powerful reminder: when we release control and begin again, transformation & energy can create meaningful change in every area of life.

This week's theme: Bliss In this episode of From Fear to Fire, Caroline De Posada shares how Bliss became her guiding principle after a successful 13 year career as an attorney. Raised in a Cuban family that valued professional achievement, she followed a traditional path while quietly nurturing a passion for personal development inspired by her father, a renowned motivational speaker. After his passing, she realized that if she did not step forward, the work that lit her up might fade. Her journey toward Bliss was not instant. It involved years of uncertainty, writing her book Looking Over the Edge, navigating Covid, and eventually discovering coaching through a desire to serve rather than strategize. When she shifted from trying to define herself to simply helping others, everything changed. Caroline now teaches that Bliss is not just a feeling but a state of being cultivated through intention. Her Living With Intention framework encourages people to notice what is working, name who they want to become, and nurture that intention daily. By adopting empowering principles such as believing life is rigged in your favor and trusting that you are always in training for something bigger, she overcame her fear of getting it wrong and learned to trust herself deeply. Her message is clear. Bliss cannot be forced, but it can be found when you pay attention to the sparks already within you and choose to live in alignment with them.

If you're a VP of Sales watching your revenue team paste customer data into ChatGPT, you don't have an adoption problem - you have a governance crisis. Your best people are uploading signed NDAs to Claude and feeding pipeline data into Perplexity because 70% of their day is admin drag, and AI is the only thing fast enough to keep them above water. Financial services tried to ban AI. It failed spectacularly. So they built governance frameworks that let teams move faster and sleep at night. Dr. Angela Murphy - known as Payments Elsa - reveals the "Amnesty and Orchestration" playbook she architected for banks navigating the GENESIS Executive Order. She's a PhD strategist, 2024 PayTech Women Emerging Trendsetter, and advisor to financial institutions on AI governance and ethical AI mandates. You'll learn the three-step governance audit every Revenue Leader should run this quarter - before Legal does. Angela shares real stories of teams using ChatGPT for payment disputes and compliance workflows, creating massive liability. She reveals the conversation framework to surface Shadow AI without triggering panic, the three policies you can implement in 30 days, and why explainability isn't compliance theater - it's revenue protection. This isn't a "fire your team and replace them with bots" episode. Angela proves ethical AI can surface hidden revenue channels, identify products to sunset, and reveal sales cycle biases costing you deals. The regulatory hammer is coming.

Bryan Post has spent 30 years working with families in crisis. He's a father of seven, a former foster and adopted child himself, and the author of 20 books — including From Fear to Love, which has sold over a million copies. In this conversation, Bryan breaks down why most of what we call "bad behavior" in our kids is actually stress — and why the most powerful thing a dad can do isn't fix, coach, or correct. It's slow down and breathe. What you'll learn:  — How a parent's energy directly shapes a child's anxiety  — Why love-based parenting isn't permissive (it's actually harder)  — The difference between coaching your kid and connecting with them  — How to hold space when your child is melting down without losing yourself  — Why Bryan says grief is the most overlooked tool in a father's life If you're a dad who wants to lead with love instead of fear, this one's for you.

Psalm 27 — From Fear to ConfidenceIn this episode of Post Sunday Podcast – Season 4 (Psalms), we walk through Psalm 27 verse by verse and explore what it means to trust God in seasons of fear, uncertainty, and waiting.David boldly declares, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” Yet just a few verses later, he cries out, “Hear my voice when I call.” This psalm holds both courage and vulnerability, confidence and lament.In this conversation, we unpack:• How faith confronts fear • Why God's presence is greater than victory • What to do when God feels silent • The power of waiting on the LordPsalm 27 reminds us that real faith isn't pretending we're fearless — it's bringing our fears into the presence of God.If you're navigating anxiety, opposition, spiritual dryness, or a season of waiting, this episode will encourage you to anchor your heart in the One who is your light, salvation, and stronghold.Take a deep breath. Open your Bible. Let's walk through Psalm 27 together.Scripture Focus: Psalms 27

This week's theme: Softening into Love In this Valentine's Day episode, Heather Hansen O'Neill reframes love as an intentional, courageous practice rather than a passive feeling. She explains how our brains naturally gravitate toward fear, making compassion and connection conscious choices. Through personal stories about miscommunication, assumptions, and stress reactions, she shows how easily fear-driven narratives take over and how powerful it can be to pause, breathe, and choose a different response. Softening, she reminds us, is not weakness. It is the work of choosing love anyway. Heather shares a heartfelt love letter to humanity that honors imperfect people who keep trying, reflecting, and choosing connection over being right. She also tells a retreat story where vulnerability helped two conflicted team members truly see each other, shifting the entire dynamic. The episode closes with a simple practice: pause, notice what is driving your reaction, and choose love. While our differences are real, our shared humanity is stronger, and love is the upgrade our world needs.

This week's theme: Women’s Health This episode of From Fear to Fire highlights women's health through the inspiring journey of Jennifer Newell, founder of Betty's Co., a modern women's healthcare company transforming how young women experience care. Jennifer shares her personal story of being diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency as a teenager and how navigating a confusing system revealed a major gap in how girls transition into women's healthcare. She explains why women's health must go beyond pregnancy-focused care and instead address menstrual health, mental wellbeing, and overall body awareness from an early age. Listeners will discover how Betty's Co. creates safe, stigma-free spaces where women feel heard, respected, and empowered. The conversation explores the connection between women's health, mental health, and lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal cycles, while emphasizing early education and accessible care, especially on college campuses. At its core, this episode is a call to reimagine women's health as holistic, compassionate, and proactive care for every stage of life.

Speaker, author, adventurer, and host Heather Hansen O'Neill takes you on the journey from fear to fire. Today, we talk about women's health and how reimagining early, holistic, and stigma-free care can empower young women to understand their bodies, prioritize mental wellbeing, and build healthier relationships with healthcare. Jennifer Newell You might say Betty's Co. found Jennifer. At the age of 17, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, sending her as an infertile person to solo-navigate a space in healthcare that revealed a massive care gap. From starting their periods up to pregnancy planning, younger women simply were not getting care. Nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, women's healthcare looked very much the same. So, Jennifer set out to create the change needed. Betty's Co. embodies both Jennifer's personal journey as a patient and her extensive professional background. Throughout her decade-long tenure with healthcare consulting and technology firm, the Advisory Board, and its sister company in higher education, EAB, Jennifer excelled in building and leading high-performing teams in business development, content creation, and product marketing.

From Fear to Friendship: The 30-Year Journey of an Interracial Women's Circle What does it really take for women across race, identity, and experience to move from awkward conversations to real friendship? In this episode, I talk with two people I deeply respect—Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Reel—about a women's circle I'm part of  that's been meeting for nearly 30 years. What started as a conference breakout session turned into something far more rare: a space where white women and women of color stayed in relationship through grief, anger, mistakes, growth, and joy. We talk about confidentiality and why it matters. About staying at the table when things get uncomfortable. About what happens when people don't feel alone anymore. And about the difference between talking about race and actually knowing people whose lives are shaped by it. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. And it's a reminder that real connection doesn't come from slogans or training slides—it comes from time, trust, and being willing to keep showing up. We share raw, transformative experiences that took us from initial fear and distrust to deep, meaningful friendships. The episode explores the group's origins, the critical role of confidentiality, and the hard truths they've confronted about race, privilege, and solidarity. You'll learn the challenges and rewards of having tough conversations about race and how these led to profound support and solidarity during life's toughest moments.   Timestamps & Key Segments: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 01:10 Meet the Guests: Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Real 04:45 The Women's Circle: Origins and Purpose 12:38 Confidentiality and Trust Building 20:02 Personal Stories and Experiences 27:54 Challenges and Learnings in DEI 35:50 Standing Up and Women's Circle Support 36:57 Building Comfort and Social Connections 38:26 Shared Experiences and Mutual Support 41:33 Assumptions and Learning Moments 54:00 Starting and Sustaining a Circle 01:01:12 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Guest Bio:Julie O'Mara is coauthor of the free Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB): Standards for Organizations Around the world along with Alan Richter, PhD, and Nene Molefi.

From Fear to Faith to Worship - Matthew 14:22-36 by Stone Oak Bible

This week's theme: Charisma In this From Fear to Fire interview, Heather Hansen O'Neill speaks with Eleni Kelakos about charisma as an innate quality rooted in authenticity and presence, not performance. Eleni describes charismatic presence as a dynamic life force that draws people in when we are fully present, grounded, and real. Through her experiences as an actress and speaker, she explains how fear and self-doubt can dim this natural spark, and how reconnecting to the moment allows charisma to re-emerge naturally. The conversation also reframes fear as a powerful teacher rather than a limitation. Eleni shares practical tools for accessing charisma, including grounding the body, regulating breath, setting intention, and shifting limiting beliefs. She emphasizes that people feel our energy before they hear our words, and that true influence comes from emotional alignment and connection. Ultimately, the interview highlights that charisma is strengthened through practice, self-awareness, and the courage to show up fully, even in life's most challenging moments.

What do you do when fear feels louder than faith? In this powerful episode of The Missional Life Podcast, Dr. Nancy Meyer shares her journey from chiropractic physician to courage coach and author of Defying Fear.

In this episode, we kick off a 6-week series exploring the life of David, one of the most significant figures in the Bible. But to understand the king David became, we first have to look at the man he replaced: Saul.Saul looked like a king on the outside—tall, handsome, and commanding—but his heart drifted from God on the inside. Through the story of Israel's first king, we discover that it's possible to "look the part" while lacking spiritual power. We'll contrast Saul's heart with David's and identify three dangerous spiritual drift patterns: fear, expedience, and pride.Key Discussion Points1. From Fear to TrustWhen God doesn't show up on our timeline, fear often takes the driver's seat. Saul felt "compelled" to disobey God's instructions because he was afraid of his dwindling army and a looming enemy.The Lesson: Every sin begins as a failure to trust. Faith is the ability to wait on God when fear tells you to rush.Scripture: 1 Samuel 13:12-142. From Expedience to ObedienceExpedience is taking the convenient shortcut rather than doing what is right. Saul tried to mask his partial obedience as a "sacrifice" to God, but Samuel reminded him that "obedience is better than sacrifice."The Lesson: Integrity means doing what is right even when it's inconvenient. You are only as accountable as you make yourself.Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:223. From Reputation to RepentanceEven when confronted with his sin, Saul's primary concern was his public image. He asked Samuel to honor him before the elders rather than humbling himself before God.The Lesson: True repentance doesn't make excuses or worry about saving face; it focuses solely on returning to God.Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:30The Man of the Moment: David and the Grace of GodGod rejected Saul's man-made efforts and chose David—a man after His own heart. While Saul represented human effort, David's story points us toward grace. Centries later, Jesus (the "Source and Heir of David") offers us the same Spirit that empowered David. When we fail, Jesus provides the transformation we cannot achieve on our own.Resources & Next StepsReflect: Are you currently making decisions based on fear or trust?Go Deeper: Find more Bible studies, videos, and leadership resources at pursueGOD.org.Discuss: Share this episode with a friend or your small group to talk about the "drift patterns" in your own life.

This week's theme: Leverage In this episode of From Fear to Fire, Fabienne Fredrickson explores how women can leverage both inner wisdom and external support to grow successful businesses without burning out. She explains that many high-achieving women rely too heavily on masculine “push” energy such as constant striving and overworking, while neglecting feminine energy rooted in intuition and collaboration. Fabienne emphasizes that sustainable success comes from learning to leverage a balanced blend of both, allowing women to build businesses that align with their purpose and values. Fabienne also highlights the unconscious patterns that lead women to overgive, undercharge, and exhaust themselves. Her message is clear and practical: leverage delegation, leverage boundaries, and leverage action to move through fear. By shifting from a martyr mindset to a visionary identity, women can reclaim their time, lead with confidence, and create success that supports both their professional goals and personal well-being.

Our mortal path is determined by how we see God and see ourselves. This happens in three main stages. From Fear to Covenant to Love.

We all have something we want to change about ourselves. But whether it's quitting smoking, losing weight, or breaking some common bad habit, we feel a sense of failure when we don't succeed. This can often set off a cascade of negative feelings and discouragement, making it even harder to change. The voice in our head telling us: Why bother?In his profound book, How We Change: And Ten Reasons Why We Don't Sociologist, pioneering psychotherapist, and author Dr. Ross Ellenhorn Takes a deep dive into this all too familiar experience as he unpacks the psychology and science of changing our lives for the better. Which he argues depends far more on understanding why we don't change.His research sheds an important light on how we are wired to double down on the familiar. A phenomenon he calls - 'The Fear of Hope' -That very human and compassionate act of protecting ourselves from further disappointment. In today's conversation we'll dive deep into the topic of change as we,Challenge the popular paradigm(s) of quick fixes, and 5 and 7 step lists. And examine what actually works. Some of which includes:The power of a caring relationship, Contemplation,And learning to become a better friend to ourselves. Ross's pioneering work offers us all an invitation to consider a fundamentally different approach.One that may forever alter our perspective—and finally help us achieve the transformation we truly seekFor more on Ross, his events, books, and research please visit ellenhorn.comEnjoying the show?

This week's theme: Accessibility & Inclusion In this episode of From Fear to Fire, host Heather Hansen O'Neill speaks with disability advocate, educator, and author Jenna Udenberg about lived experience, leadership, and the true meaning of Accessibility and Inclusion. Jenna shares her journey as a lifelong wheelchair user and founder of the nonprofit Above and Beyond With U, emphasizing that accessibility is not about checking boxes or meeting minimum ADA requirements. Instead, it requires involving disabled people from the very beginning so spaces, systems, and decisions reflect real human needs rather than assumptions. Jenna also reframes disability as a neutral part of the human experience, explaining that barriers are most often created by environments and attitudes, not bodies. She encourages organizations and leaders to move beyond good intentions and take intentional action rooted in Accessibility and Inclusion across workplaces, education, and community spaces. Her message is clear: when people feel welcomed, safe, and valued, everyone benefits, and that awareness is what helps individuals and organizations truly move from fear to fire.

6 years ago Chelsea Pottenger found herself in a psychiatric hospital. Deep in the throes of severe PostNatal Depression following the birth of her daughter,Chelsea in many ways was fighting for her life and at the beginning of a long road toward healing, and ultimately post traumatic growth. Along the way she found herself in a monastery learning and practicing meditation,Arriving at new insights about how she wanted to live, And eventually choosing to leave a very successful corporate career to found EQ Minds - a company on a mission to reset the corporate agenda. Chelsea and her team work with some of the world's most iconic businesses to prioritize the mental health and wellbeing of their employees first. In addition to founding and directing EQ Minds, Chelsea is now a highly sought-after keynote speaker, author of the Mindful High Performer, and was just nominated for Australian of the Year. Today she will share some of this journey.Her heart wrenching, and inspiring story of transforming pain into purpose. A story that in many ways offers us a beautiful reminder:There is a deeper and richer experience of life available to us.An experience that often begins with coming home to who we truly are. For more on Chelsea, her book, speaking and the incredible work they are doing at EQ Minds, please visit: https://www.eqminds.comEnjoying the show?

What sets the most successful people apart? You may think that the answer is hard work (and it's certainly part of it), but in her interviews of the most accomplished individuals—from entrepreneurs and investors to Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize winners—Distinguished Professor of Management, Dr. Laura Huang discovered that what they called their gut feel, the product of their intuition, played the most important role.Laura, who has held faculty positions at Harvard Business School and the Wharton School has in many ways dedicated her research career to quantifying the ‘unquantifiable'. Her work shows that we all have intuition -  a combination of our brain's intelligent synthesis of external data and the entirety of our personal experiences. Our intuition draws from what we already know and what we didn't even realize we knew. This process culminates in a gut feel which can manifest as: A eureka moment, A Spidey sense, Or a jolt that changes how we see things and compels us to act.If you're like most people, these flashes of clarity arise passively.  Random occurrences that come out of the blue.And yet in her powerful new book: You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition, Laura shares: "What makes our gut feel a superpower is our ability to go from the passive to the active.” That move, from passive to active, lies at the center of our conversation today. Together we'll explore:How we can strengthen our ability to hear the quiet whisper of our intuition,And be truer to ourselves and those moments of clarity when our head and our heart converge. Laura's words offer us all a timely reminder:"As the external world gets ever noisier, often, the smartest thing we can do is listen to our gut to guide us in the right direction. Trust Yourself. You already know."For more on Laura, her books, speaking, events, and research please visit proflaurahuang.comDid you find this episode inspiring?
