Contact Welcomed Here“Suffering reveals the soul, not to others, but to oneself.”Dostoevsky“And still, in all my suffering, I wondered if there was even a self to reveal.”Kafka“I held on because I believed pain meant it was real”Dostoyevsky“I let go because nothing real should hurt that long”KafkaWe Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and order of our universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment leading to others as long as it is improperly diagnosed - any treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm our indivisible nature. Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility as our nature. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation an acting oblivious to what is obvious is a choice. Absolute Intelligence, Peace and Silence is Nature's nature since It does not change. Nature is naturally our nature. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.

"At M2 The Rock, we fully respect the anonymity of all 12-step fellowships. In alignment with their traditions, we do not represent or speak on behalf of any of these groups. Our mission is to share hope, not affiliation."About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Poet in his voice. Recorded and curated by Irfan**Asad Zaidi, a distinguished poet, journalist, and editor whose multifaceted contributions to literature and society have left an indelible mark. Born on August 31, 1954, in Karauli, the capital of the erstwhile princely state in Rajasthan's Bharatpur Divisional Commissionerate, Asad Zaidi's journey is one of intellectual and artistic exploration. From his roots in Karauli, his path took him through the cultural landscapes of Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur before finding a home in Delhi, where he has lived for decades, shaping the literary and intellectual discourse of contemporary India.Asad Zaidi is celebrated as a significant voice in Hindi poetry, often mentioned alongside luminaries like Mangalesh Dabral for his profound and thought-provoking verses. His poetic journey began with his debut collection, Behne aur Anya Kavitaein (1980), which established him as a distinctive voice in contemporary Hindi literature. Subsequent works, including Kavita ka Jivan (1988) and Saman ki Talash (2008), have earned critical acclaim for their lyrical depth and engagement with socio-political themes. His anthology Sare Shaam (2014), which compiles his three poetry collections, showcases his ability to weave personal and collective experiences into a rich poetic tapestry. In 1981, he was honored with the Sanskriti Award for his contributions to Hindi literature, a testament to his early impact on the literary world.Beyond poetry, Asad Zaidi is a versatile intellectual with a deep passion for cinema, music, and visual art. His critical writings reflect a nuanced understanding of these art forms, often exploring their intersections with culture and society. As a journalist and editor, he has been a fearless commentator, addressing complex issues with clarity and insight. His work extends to translations, bridging Hindi, Urdu, and English by rendering works of European, Latin American, and Chinese poets into Hindi and Urdu, as well as translating Urdu poetry into Hindi and Hindi poetry into English.As the founder of Three Essays Collective, an independent publishing house based in Delhi, Asad Zaidi, alongside his wife, historian Nalini Taneja, has created a platform that tackles challenging socio-political and cultural issues through thought-provoking books. The publishing house is known for its commitment to fostering dialogue on critical topics, engaging with the complexities of our times in a meaningful way. Asad Zaidi's contributions are not confined to the page; they resonate in his ability to connect art, literature, and social commentary. His poetry, often described as both prophetic and reflective, challenges the conventions of the Hindi literary world while remaining deeply rooted in its linguistic and cultural heritage. His interests in education and social commentary further amplify his role as a thinker who engages with the world around him, making him a vital voice in today's literary landscape.I am thrilled to feature Asad Zaidi in our Guftagoo conversation, where his poetic wisdom and cultural insights will undoubtedly inspire our audience. Join us in celebrating this remarkable poet, whose words continue to illuminate and provoke thought, as we explore his journey and contributions to literature and beyond.Listen with Irfan (LwI)A tapestry of voices and stories, spun with careSupport LwI - a soulful creation shaped by affection, thriving on the warmth of its listeners.

Margo and I have a long list of the things that we love about one another, but we're not going to pretend that there's a list of things that we don't like. In fact, her words are "the most unattractive thing that you do" to be exact! I had no idea that sitting accross from one another and exchanging things that we aren't necessarily a fan of was a relationship goal of mine, but here we are. Grateful that we've grown to the point where this can take place without insecurity or a desire to take personal jabs taking over. We spend most of our time celebrating one another and sharing the things that we love, so we had a little fun humbling one another for close to an hour!

As James wraps up the Gratitude Series, he passionately examines things he is grateful for and why. 

Happy Self-Confidence is about accepting yourself as you are, About owning the moment, and trusting that you can succeed, Even if that moment is you apologizing, you do it like a star, You don't second-guess or shy away, you just confidently proceed. [full text below] Ep. 412 - Happy Self-Confidence We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Happy Self-Confidence is about accepting yourself as you are, About owning the moment, and trusting that you can succeed, Even if that moment is you apologizing, you do it like a star, You don't second-guess or shy away, you just confidently proceed. You face the music, take responsibility, and do what needs to be done, You don't wish for a different past, you just work towards a better day, You don't cower, complain, act cocky or deflect blame onto anyone, You just try to improve yourself to be a little bit better in every way. A tall order, to be sure, but I've seen people who simply refuse to even try, They prefer to deny reality, to avoid growth, to have a temper tantrum, to hide, Wishing things were different while doing the same things and wondering why-- Why they doubt themselves and have no trust or individual faith deep inside. The first step is getting to know your limits, learning what frightens you, Maybe being wrong makes you so mad that it keeps you from striving, Which means those are the things you have to practice and work through, If you ever hope to go from struggling and hating to learning and thriving. Haha  Yowza

In this solo episode, join me as I share a heartfelt message about the power of meaningful connections, trusting your intuition, and boldly expanding into your next chapter. Embrace how small actions—like reaching out to someone, attending a class, or writing a note—can create ripple effects of impact that not only transform your life but also the lives of others. Grateful that I get to reflect so openly on my recent experience with a 50,000-word project and upcoming book, Audacious Expansion! I cannot wait for you to get into stories and insights to inspire your growth.And of course, tune in for your personal invite to be part of the Audacious Summit on October 17th, a transformative space to connect with like-minded individuals and ignite your own expansion just outside of Philly! Spoiler alert - if you love stories to inspire your courageous moves, crave fuel to be your own kind of fabulousness, and know that setbacks can serve as catalysts for growth ... this is the episode for you.Connect with your host, Erika:LinkedIn (primary)⁦https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikarothenberger⁩IG⁦https://www.instagram.com/erikalearothenberger?igsh=MmhjeTRhbnB1aXM2⁩FB⁦https://www.facebook.com/share/69wqEYVzFKKnci9u/?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁩

In this heartfelt episode of Love to Live Healthy, Josephine and Jake dive deep into a powerful mindset shift: gratitude before desire. When was the last time you truly gave thanks — without immediately asking for more?We talk about why it's so important to pause and acknowledge even the smallest blessings. Because when you live in appreciation, your energy changes... and abundance follows.Tune in to explore how practicing gratitude can transform not just your mindset, but your relationships, your goals, and your entire life.Let's stop rushing to the next thing — and start loving what's already here.

In this solo episode, I encourage you to reimagine your relationship with weeds. Yep, those wild, inconvenient plants we pull from our gardens without a second thought.After a morning of weeding at the farm, I reflected on the resilience and overlooked brilliance of plants like dandelions. What if we saw these plants as the generous healers and soil restorers that they are? Perhaps we've forgotten their role in the ecosystem?This episode is a gentle reminder of the medicine, wisdom, and ecological function that weeds offer. From their deep taproots that dredge up vital micronutrients, to their presence in the most toxic soils, weeds are often regenerating the land beneath our feet, and showing us where balance is needed.Tune in to learn more about:Why “weed” is more of a label than a true classificationThe ecological function of dandelions and other deep-rooted wild plantsHow weeds help loosen compacted soil and make nutrients available to other plantsA new way to see wild plants as allies, not enemies… And so much more!Connect with Hannah: Instagram: @hannahkeitel

Geez, Louise, it's been a wild few days. My car began vibrating like it did last year when the front control arm/bushing (listen to me talking like I know what I'm talking about) cracked. I fear that the rear version is faulty and did not feel great about driving up to Killeen for last night's Hill Country Strong race. Putting the car in the shop on Wednesday after my summer class (Podcasting!) ends. Meanwhile, I look back at another time when another car failed me on the way to a summer race and the resulting drama about that.As if that wasn't enough, it's been Wild Kingdom around here. A couple of weeks ago, a squirrel got stuck in my chimney but found its way out. A few days ago, a family of raccoons moved under my house. They're cute, sure. Not fun though as they scamper under my bedroom and tub at night. I have a trapper coming by tomorrow to estimate the cost and remove and relocate them somewhere in the wild. I definitely don't want them killed. It's not their fault.And, I had to go three rounds yesterday with health care folks in order to get a prescription they claimed was a duplicate.I got it, but, boy, what a process.I did run-walk a mile 30-30 today and fast hiked another. It's humbling to return to the start, but here I am. Grateful to have that ability, to be honest.

God's Spirit can bring us lasting and complete peace, no matter the circumstances. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for gratitude in our daily lives. When we practice thankfulness to God for His perfect character and provision, He gives us His peace—a peace that surpasses understanding. Pastor Allen teaches about the biblical foundation for a gratitude that dispels anxiety, as well as how to live out this biblical idea. Additionally, he shares about the consequences of ungratefulness we see throughout the Bible. We can be secure in God's peace when we give expression to thankfulness.

In this first of two episodes on Sarah Updegraff Murray, I explore the profound lessons of courage I've learned from her remarkable example. Next episode, we'll hear directly from Sarah in an interview. Last spring, Sarah slipped on black ice, sustaining a spinal injury that led to paralysis. Here, I reflect on her inspiring embodiment of virtue: courage in action.We'll discuss Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and a Marcus Aurelius quote about finding encouragement. I'll also share our connection through Nordic Choir at Luther College. Sarah's story is one of inspiration. Her Facebook page, Hope is a Strategy, could just as fittingly be called Hope is a Choice. Unable to change what happened, Sarah chose to respond with hope. Grateful that she shared her time with me. This was one of the best interviews that I have done on the RockneCast!

"I loved John MacArthur. He was my friend, my mentor, and my pastor. Hard to put into words.Although there are a number of words that you could employ to describe him, no word encapsulates his life and ministry as - faithful.Nothing about him was passionless. He was a great man. A hero. And yet, so normal and kind.Grateful he is in glory. He ran the race and now he joins the crowd of witnesses.A life well lived." - Jonny Ardavanis

I catch you up on everything… the latest chaos with my restraining order being ignored (again), the emotional rollercoaster of getting autism services for my son, and how I'm somehow still finding moments of joy and peace through it all. If you've ever tried to stay grounded while the universe throws chairs at your head, this one's for you. Stick around till the end for a surprisingly powerful (and hopefully uplifting) gratitude meditation that might just change your whole day. ---
