Send us a textThat bone-deep tiredness after a weekend filled with surprise visits, thunderstorms, community gatherings, and late-night shifts isn't something to push past—it's something to honor. When fatigue comes from creating memories, from being truly present in your life, it's serving a different purpose than the exhaustion that stems from stress or obligation.Many of us have forgotten how to distinguish between these different types of tiredness. We carry stress psychosomatically, our bodies responding to thought patterns about control and perfectionism that we've internalized. We convince ourselves that if we can just be perfect enough, handle everything perfectly, we'll finally be safe. But that pressure adds up, flooding our system with cortisol and disconnecting us from the natural rhythms of rest and activity.The real question isn't whether you're tired—it's whether your fatigue is evidence of a life you actually want to be living. Are your days nourishing you? Are your actions investing in the kind of experiences that fill you up, or are they draining what little energy remains? Manifestation isn't about escaping discomfort; it's about alignment. Freedom doesn't always require external changes—it begins with the pause, that moment when you interrupt the automatic patterns and check in with yourself honestly. You're allowed to slow down. You're safe to take life at your own pace, to release what's rooted in fear, to stop sprinting toward some imagined finish line of enough-ness.Take a moment today to place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly, and remind your body: "We are here. We are safe. We are listening." Because time is a tool, not a toy—and it's up to each of us to use it wisely.Support the show

Many high school students feel pressured by friends and relatives to attend college upon graduation. Interestingly, today's guest had the complete opposite experience. For Darla Beam, college was overtly out of the question as it wasn't something her parents could afford. After exploring one coast to the other, becoming a caretaker for a loved one and everything in between, Darla slowly started identifying her own strengths. She began to realize how much she loved people – more specifically: how she loved being present with them. Being with them in the good times and bad, helping them stir up a vision for what their life could look like and identifying their own goals… this was what Darla knew she was made for. With that, she became a conscious life and leadership coach, who works with people to help them identify and remove barriers that are in the way of becoming all they want to be. This noteworthy episode is inspiring, uplifting, and sure to spark hope in your heart with the realization that it's never too late to make a change or become who you know you were meant to be. Darla's Resources:Darla BeamFacebook: DB Leadership & Coaching Instagram: @darlabeamcoaching YouTube: Darla BeamEmail: darlabeam@icloud.comBook: Chasing Daylight Book: The Power of Now Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #DarlaBeam #DarlaBeamCoaching #LifeCoach #LeadershipCoach #CreateYourReality #BePresent

 “Take your next footstep to the best of your ability. I don't think about the future, I don't think how much further I've got to go. I don't reflect on the past.”  What does it really take to break free from the life you “should” live and chase the one your soul is screaming for? In this electrifying episode of SoulTalk, I sit down with legendary ultramarathon runner Dean Karnazes, who traded a cushy corporate life for blistered feet, spiritual awakenings, and the most physically and mentally grueling races on Earth. Dean shares the story of the spontaneous 30-mile run that changed everything, what he learned from pushing his body to the edge of collapse, and why real transformation begins the moment you step into the unknown. This conversation is about so much more than running—it's about the human spirit, the courage to leap, and the truth that your limits are often just illusions waiting to be shattered. Timestamps:  (00:03:59) – The moment Dean walked away from a corporate job (00:07:08) – The 30-mile birthday run that changed everything (00:11:11) – How Dean prepares for extreme endurance (00:15:39) – The power of presence, mindset, and moment-to-moment discipline (00:25:28) – How to handle fear, fatigue, and the inner voice of doubt (00:27:18) – Tapping into purpose through intention (00:30:39) – Flow states, meditation, and the spiritual side of running (00:40:44) – Dean's advice for aspiring runners (and soulful dreamers) Some Questions I Ask: What triggered your first ultra-distance run—and what did it awaken in you? What internal battles show up during a 50-mile race? How do you stay disciplined when no one is watching or pushing you? How can someone know when it's time to leave the life they've outgrown? What does running teach you about the soul? Is there a deeper reason you run, beyond the sport? In This Episode You Will Learn:     How to break out of a comfort zone that's suffocating your soul Why pain, when faced with presence, becomes a portal to awakening Mental techniques for mastering fatigue, fear, and internal resistance The deeper spiritual connection between endurance and self-realization How to find purpose in motion and fulfillment in the unknown Tools to live with radical courage, presence, and no regrets   Links & Resources:

Much of ethics is relational: it's about how we treat other people, the world around us, and how those relationships shape who we become. In philosophy, this often gets formalised as a set of virtues to cultivate, duties to obey, or harms to avoid. But today, we rarely talk about sins – let alone the seven deadly sins. Historically rooted in the Christian tradition – pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth – have been understood not just as personal failings. They were taken seriously because they obscured what it meant to flourish: that is, to be fully alive. They are, fundamentally, habits of being that corrode our ability to love. So, what might we learn today from the seven deadly sins? How can these ancient categories illuminate our lives, in a world marked by disconnection and distraction? In this episode, we'll be speaking about the seven sins with Elizabeth Oldfield. Elizabeth is a writer, speaker, host of The Sacred podcast, and the former director of Theos Think Tank. In her recent book Fully Alive, she revives the seven deadly sins – not as a tool for moral condemnation, but as a lens through which to examine our practices and principles. We'll be talking with Elizabeth about how sin, properly understood, can help us confront the crisis of meaning and the collapse of community. We'll also explore her Christian vision of moral transformation and why it's vital to believers and non-believers alike.

What if living to 98—healthy, vibrant, and strong—wasn't just a dream, but something completely achievable with today's technology? In this eye-opening episode, we're joined by Dr. William Kapp, who pulls back the curtain on what he calls the "longevity crisis"—a global issue that goes beyond just living longer. With birth rates plummeting worldwide and aging populations demanding more resources, the balance between lifespan and healthspan has never been more crucial. Dr. Kapp shares the cutting-edge science behind high-performance aging and reveals why most healthcare systems are stuck in a sick care model, spending 97% of their massive $4.9 trillion budget on fixing what's broken rather than preventing illness in the first place. But there's hope—because with the right tools, knowledge, and strategies, reaching a robust 98 is within our grasp. Tune in to discover how we can flip the script on aging, embrace preventative care, and secure a future where longevity doesn't mean decline—it means thriving.The information presented in Fully Alive is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Friday Claymore! There's an awakening happening among young men today - a rediscovery of the sacred against seemingly impossible odds. Having grown up in perhaps the most toxic, propaganda-filled culture in history, many are now rejecting moral relativism and asking the fundamental questions that have driven men throughout all ages: What is the truth of things? How should I live?Here are 4-5 discussion questions based on the episode:1. Rediscovering the Sacred – Young men today are rediscovering the Sacred despite a culture that opposes it. What do you think is driving this spiritual revival among young men?2. Crisis of Objective Truth – The episode critiques moral relativism and argues that rejecting objective truth has led to cultural decline. Do you agree that the loss of objective truth is a primary cause of societal issues today? Why or why not?3. Spiritual Warfare and Society – Jack presents modern cultural struggles as part of a larger spiritual battle between good and evil. How do you interpret this perspective? Do you see current societal trends as part of a deeper spiritual struggle?4. The Role of Culture in Faith – How can individuals and communities work to build a culture of life that promotes what is true, good and beautiful? 5. Hope and the Future – The episode ends on a hopeful note, quoting Pope John Paul II's call to “Be not afraid.” What role does faith play in overcoming fear and despair in today's world? How can people actively live out this call to courage?Download the Claymore battle plan at the John Paul II Renewal Center website.

Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent TimesSunday, March 23 in Old Fashioned Sunday School, we continue our discussion of how to stay connected when all of the forces around us seem intent on separating us from each other.Elizabeth Oldfield, the host of the Sacred podcast and former director and now senior fellow of the think tank Theos, offers a way for us to stay connected. In her new book, Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times, Oldfield explores how religion helps us to develop deep principles and values that help us grow in empathy and curiosity for people different from ourselves. Canon Maxwell leads a discussion that looks more deeply at Oldfield's insights and explore how they might play out in our lives. Copies of the book may be purchased in the Cathedral Bookstore.

Much of ethics is relational: it's about how we treat other people, the world around us, and how those relationships shape who we become. In philosophy, this often gets formalised as a set of virtues to cultivate, duties to obey, or harms to avoid. But today, we rarely talk about sins – let alone the seven deadly sins. Historically rooted in the Christian tradition – pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth – have been understood not just as personal failings. They were taken seriously because they obscured what it meant to flourish: that is, to be fully alive. They are, fundamentally, habits of being that corrode our ability to love. So, what might we learn today from the seven deadly sins? How can these ancient categories illuminate our lives, in a world marked by disconnection and distraction? In this episode, we'll be speaking about the seven sins with Elizabeth Oldfield. Elizabeth is a writer, speaker, host of The Sacred podcast, and the former director of Theos Think Tank. In her recent book Fully Alive, she revives the seven deadly sins – not as a tool for moral condemnation, but as a lens through which to examine our practices and principles. We'll be talking with Elizabeth about how sin, properly understood, can help us confront the crisis of meaning and the collapse of community. We'll also explore her Christian vision of moral transformation and why it's vital to believers and non-believers alike.
