Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
If the exhaustion doesn't lift even when you keep moving forward, this episode names why: suppression is expensive. Grief is what reclaims the capacity. And honoring the past is not the same as living in it.Most high performers don't fear grief. They fear what they believe grief does.That it will pull them under. Keep them stuck. Undo the forward motion they've worked so hard to build.So they keep moving. They close chapters quickly, remind themselves the decision was right, redirect toward what's next. And they carry the background exhaustion that never resolves — not realizing the weight isn't the cost of grieving. It's the cost of not grieving.Every time the nervous system moves past something without acknowledging it, it files that moment under: not safe to feel. The energy required to hold that file closed stays allocated. Low-grade. Constant. Invisible.This episode makes the distinction that changes everything: honoring and ruminating are not the same thing. Clean grieving is the most efficient capacity reclamation available.Is this episode for you?You're afraid that if you let yourself feel it, you won't find your way back outAcknowledging what you lost feels like going backwardYou've made your peace — on the surface — but something still feels allocatedYou move past hard seasons efficiently and wonder why the weight doesn't followWhat we walk through:The difference between honoring (seeing, acknowledging, releasing) and ruminating (replaying, second-guessing, staying tethered)Why suppression is expensive: the constant, low-grade energy cost of holding grief undergroundThe prototype for clean grieving: name it, feel it, release it — without regression or performed closureWhy grief reclaims capacity and suppression quietly spends itWhat shifts in the body when honest acknowledgment replaces efficient avoidanceToday's Recalibration:Think of one loss from this week — one cost, one version of yourself that surfaced as you listened. Say quietly: That mattered. I see what it cost. I release it with the acknowledgment it deserved. Notice what you feel. Not what you think. That shift — even a small one — is capacity coming back.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Send us Fan MailThe job can send you to the hardest places on earth, then expect you to come home and act like nothing followed you back.We talk with Kemmi Sadler, a retired supervisory special agent from the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, about what two decades of protective missions, investigations, and overseas tours can do to your inner life. From her early years in local law enforcement to contracting overseas after 9/11 and then serving across posts like Iraq, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Mexico, and Washington, DC, Kemi lays out the real-world stressors that build over time: constant moves, family complications, and the relentless requirement to stay sharp.One story becomes a turning point, opening the door to survivor's guilt and the kind of grief that can linger for years when it never gets fully processed. We also dig into a barrier so many first responders recognize instantly: the fear that counseling could trigger “fitness for duty” questions or jeopardize a security clearance. When your identity is built around being the tough one, asking for help can feel like risking everything. We compare peer support, resilience training, and the idea of routine mental health wellness visits that work like a checkup rather than a crisis response.We close with the shock of retirement and why turning in credentials can feel like losing membership in a world that once gave you status, safety, and a clear sense of self.

This solo episode is going to explore a fear that many of us carry inside our intimate relationships but rarely say out loud: the fear of settling. What is it? Where does it come from? And most importantly, what does it cost us? Dr. Alexandra will offer you a reframe that is both clarifying and hopeful. We are going to reimagine what acceptance actually means – not as a passive giving-up, but as one of the most powerful and underrated tools available to us in love. In this episode, you will hear about: The cost of comparison and how to shift from external comparison to internal reflection. How the word “settling” is working against you. What Acceptance is and is not, and how to determine whether you are acting in the spirit of acceptance or resignation. How to tend to the grief that is often built into Acceptance. Grab a pen and paper! Dr. Alexandra has included a writing exercise in this episode, designed to guide you towards acceptance - both of yourself and your partner.

In this deeply reflective episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore the complex and often misunderstood nature of grief—what it is, how it shows up, and how we begin to carry it in a way that allows for healing. Holding On & Letting Go: Building Resilience Through Grief invites listeners to move beyond the myth of "moving on" and instead learn how to move forward with loss, honoring the connection, love, and meaning behind it. From the loss of loved ones and relationships to identity shifts, pet loss, and ambiguous grief, this episode expands the definition of what it means to grieve. We break down what resilience actually looks like in real life—not strength or toughness, but small, quiet acts of self-compassion, emotional permission, and connection. With practical tools, honest insight into grief in relationships, and gentle reminders that joy and pain can coexist, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate space for anyone navigating loss—and a powerful reminder that you don't have to carry it alone. Tune in to see Grief & Resilience Through a Therapist's Eyes.
Grief and anxiety can feel hopeless and traumatic. How can you not get stuck in the feelings? We all go through trying times, so how can we handle it all? It's about experiencing the feelings while also trying to find beauty and inspiration in our lives. Psychotherapist and author John Tsilimparis talks deeply about these topics today and suggests we find aesthetic ways to empower ourselves. John is a distinguished psychotherapist, mental health consultant, podcast host, and former adjunct professor at Pepperdine University and UCLA Extension. Today he discusses his latest book "The Magic in the Tragic: Rewriting the Script on Grief and Finding Happiness in Our Darkest Days." John shares the idea of "inspiration exposure." He invites us to be self-compassionate. He suggests we hold strong to our boundaries and give ourselves time to heal. The idea is not to move on, but to move through the emotions. John talks about "grief empowerment" and explains how to find meaning and even beauty in grief. He teaches us to find awe and splendor, even in our darkest moments. This can apply to anxiety and even addiction. It's possible to find meaning and purpose in even the smallest things. Info: johntsilimparis.com.

In this episode, we're answering some of your real-life parenting questions—from “When did your child start talking?” to how we actually handle sickness in our homes (because it's never simple over here). We share what's worked, what hasn't, and the little adjustments we've had to make along the way when it comes to communication and caring for our kids when they're not feeling their best. We also open up about navigating diagnosis grief—what it looked like for each of us and how we've moved through it over time. And because we have to laugh to survive… we wrap things up with the one thing we will absolutely NEVER do again. It's honest, relatable, and full of those “same” moments.

What if the question “How much is enough?” isn't really about money at all? On today's episode of Faith & Finance, we're joined by Taylor Standridge, FaithFi's Production Manager and a key contributor to the ministry's new field guide on this very question. He explored why enough has less to do with numbers—and far more to do with the heart. Because in the end, enough is not a financial equation. It's a spiritual one. The Problem Behind the Question At first glance, asking how much is enough sounds like a financial question. We tend to think in terms of income levels, net worth, or a desired lifestyle. But as Taylor pointed out, Scripture rarely approaches the issue this way. Instead, it exposes something deeper: what we trust, what we pursue, and what we believe will ultimately satisfy us. As Ecclesiastes 5:10 reminds us, “Whoever loves money never has enough.” The issue isn't the amount—it's the affection. When more becomes the goal, enough will always stay just out of reach. The finish line keeps moving because our desires expand alongside our resources. So the better question isn't, “How much do I need?” It's, “What is my heart relying on?” Enough Is a Matter of the Heart, Not a Number Taylor shared that two people can have the same income and experience it completely differently. One feels constant pressure, always needing more to feel secure. The other lives with peace—not because they have more, but because their trust is anchored elsewhere. This is what it means for enough to be a heart issue. It's not about what's in your account—it's about what defines your security. When our thinking shifts from “How can I get more?” to “Can I trust God with what I have?”, something begins to change. The pressure to chase more fades, and contentment becomes possible—even if the numbers never change. Enough Is Rooted in Stewardship, Not Ownership Another key principle Taylor highlighted is the shift from ownership to stewardship. Instead of asking, “What do I own?”, we begin asking, “What has God entrusted to me?” Scripture reminds us that everything belongs to the Lord. We are stewards, not owners. And that changes how we approach every financial decision. Saving becomes purposeful, not fear-driven Giving becomes joyful, not reluctant Spending becomes intentional, not impulsive When we see our resources as entrusted—not owned—we begin to hold them with open hands, ready to use them for God's purposes. Enough Is Found in Contentment, Not Control Taylor also explored how our desire for control often fuels financial anxiety. We often can ask: Will I have enough? What if something goes wrong? How can I secure my future? These questions reveal a deeper longing—to eliminate uncertainty. But Scripture reminds us that control is an illusion. Contentment doesn't mean ignoring the future or avoiding wise planning. It means recognizing that peace doesn't come from securing every outcome—it comes from trusting the One who holds the future. In Luke 12, Jesus tells the parable of the rich fool—a man who planned well, saved diligently, and expanded his wealth. Yet God calls him a fool because his security was rooted in what he had stored rather than in his relationship with God. You can be financially successful and spiritually empty at the same time. Enough Is About Purpose, Not Possessions So what is money actually for? As Taylor explained, money is a tool—not a destination. Jesus says in Luke 12:15, “Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Money is meant to: Care for our families Meet real needs Support God's work Participate in something bigger than ourselves When purpose becomes the focus, everything changes. We stop asking, “How much can I accumulate?” and start asking, “How can I use what I've been given faithfully?” That's when enough becomes clearer. The Secret of Contentment The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” Contentment is learned—and it's rooted in Christ, not circumstances. As Elisabeth Elliot said, “The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.” Practically, this shows up in everyday ways: Choosing gratitude over comparison Resisting the pressure to upgrade Trusting God in both abundance and need Contentment allows us to say, “What I have today is enough for what God has called me to right now.” It's Not About a Number Taylor summed it up this way: Enough isn't something you discover by reaching a number—it's something you experience when your life is aligned with God. When your heart is anchored in Him: You're freed from chasing more You're freed from comparing with others You're freed from fear about the future And you're free to live open-handed—using what you've been given for something that truly lasts. So maybe the real question isn't: “How much is enough?” Maybe it's: “Who is enough?” And in Christ, we find the answer. Take the Next Step: Discover What “Enough” Really Means If this conversation has challenged the way you think about money, you're not alone—and you don't have to wrestle through these questions by yourself. That's exactly why working on a new resource called the FaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money Is Enough? This resource is designed to help you move from theory to application—guiding you step by step through what Scripture says about contentment, stewardship, trust, and purpose. It's not about giving you a number to chase, but helping you realign your heart so you can experience the freedom that comes from seeing God as your ultimate treasure. Whether you're feeling the pressure to earn more, save more, or simply wondering if what you have is enough, this field guide will help you ask better questions—and find better answers rooted in biblical wisdom.

This is a story about loss - In memory of Kira Johnson Charles welcomed fatherhood with joy. He and Kira were so excited to start their family, and their second pregnancy would bring them back-to-back boys. The first pregnancy had been healthy, but ended in an emergency surgical birth as Baby Charles experienced heart decelerations that became concerning. Welcoming their second child during a transition from Atlanta to Los Angeles provided an opportunity for them to seek world-class care. Kira and Baby Langston were healthy throughout the pregnancy. Kira and Charles took intentional steps to select a provider that met their needs. They opted for a scheduled surgical birth with a provider who had excellent reviews and had privileges at Cedar Sinai Hospital. Their doctor assured them that this was the safest approach to delivery due to her history. A Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) was never presented as an option. Their provider, Dr. Kasanji introduced them to Dr. Naim as a backup provider for the procedure. Spoiler alert - It was a racket. Dr. Kasanji could no longer stand for surgeries continued to accept patients, billed for prenatal care, and then transferred their care to an incompetent, negligible, and callous butcher. We said what we said. *The following timeline is not exact, but it's not exaggerated. 2:00 pm - Surgical birth began. 2:02 pm Incision complete on a patient with a previous cesarean scar. Cue internal bleeding. Just before 4:00 pm - Signs of hemorrhaging. Charles rings the alarm. 5:00 pm - CT Scan ordered STAT 6:00 pm - No CT Scan. Charles rings the alarm. 6:15 pm - Declared Surgical Emergency 7:00 pm - No CT scan. Kira is shivering uncontrollably. 8:00 pm - No CT scan. Charles rings the alarm. The CT never happened. Charles rings the alarm! 9:00 pm - Your wife just isn't a priority right now. 10:00 pm - No CT scan. 11:00 pm - No CT scan. 12:00 am - Baby, I'm scared. 12:00 am - “blind surgery” to find the bleed. It's not a big deal. She'll be back in 15 minutes. Incision. Crashed. Condition is critical, continuing to work on her. Bring my wife back. In a blink of an eye Kira was gone. There is nothing routine about not surviving a non-emergent surgical birth. The care, compassion, and skill that Kira deserved from her medical team never showed up. There's a biblical verse that people quote when faced with loss, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” It's intended to provide encouragement for a person to move forward. But what if it was intended to give permission to grieve. “For a night,” gives the illusion of temporality. Night is symbolic of darkness and death. Could it be, “Weeping may endure for darkness or weeping may endure for a death. Grief has cycles, it does not end. But joy comes in the morning. Joy comes in the light. It's the grief cycle of darkness and light - night and morning. Charles Johnson shared his birth story that ended in the tragic, senseless, and avoidable death of his wife, Kira Dixon Johnson. Kira was a healthy 30-year-old woman in her second pregnancy when she trusted her vetted doctor and the reputation of an accomplished hospital system to ensure safe delivery of her child and her recovery. A rushed surgical birth that nicked her bladder caused internal bleeding; she lost her life after a series of pleas for support when she showed signs of hemorrhaging. Charles describes the formula that accompanies nearly every story of a Black woman losing her life in childbirth as, “We expressed our concerns, our concerns were dismissed or delayed, and by the time they did something, it was too late.” The attending doctor, Dr. Naim, was later found negligent by the California Medical Board. Charles was inspired to keep fighting for better care and accountability. He founded 4Kira4Moms as a force multiplier in spreading the message of systemic change in medical care. This includes better care provider training, transparency, and accountability. The disproportionate impact of maternal mortality on Black women is at the center of his legislative advocacy, better doula and midwifery support, and increased awareness and education among fathers and non-birthing parents. Charles believes that revolutionary care is that there has to be a fundamental standard of care in this country for all birthing people and doctors, midwives, whoever is performing these services, and who's getting paid for these services, their compensation needs to be tied to their ability to meet that standard period. Charles brought their baby home without Kira. He has faced fatherhood headfirst, allowing his sons to be his guiding force. They sustain him. They are the tools in his mental health toolbox, along with consistent therapy. He works for Kira's legacy and the future of change. She'd burn it all down. Charles has lit the match.

Social media is changing how we grieve, especially following a shocking event like the Bondi terror attack. But could sharing our grief help bridge social divisions? - 社交媒體正改變我們面對悲痛的方式,尤其是在像邦迪恐襲這樣的重大事件後。但與人分享悲傷,對於縮小社會分歧是否有幫助呢?
Grief is something every single one of us will experience, but most of us don’t know how to talk about it, process it, or move through it. Marcia Earhart, founder of Sterling Rose Sanctuary, shares her deeply personal story of losing both of her sons and how that unimaginable pain led her to help others heal. Morgan & Marcia talk about why grief looks different for everyone, the connection between grief, trauma, and mental health, how families can stay connected through loss, the idea of “incorporating” grief instead of being consumed by it, and why we grieve more moments in life than we realize.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOChildhood friends Eric Paquette and Charles Caron grew up exploring the world side by side—riding bikes, sharing stories, and building a bond that felt unbreakable. But as life often does, it pulled them in different directions. Years later, after each endured the profound loss of loved ones, they found themselves searching for something more—something beyond what could be seen or explained.Grief became the catalyst that brought them back together. Reunited by their shared curiosity about what lies beyond death, Eric and Charles stepped into the world of paranormal investigation. What began as a personal quest for answers soon evolved into something much deeper—an exploration of spirits, energy, and the possibility that death is not the end.Their journey into the unexplained would challenge their beliefs, test their courage, and change their lives forever.Are the dead truly gone—or are they waiting for us to listen?#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation #LifeAfterDeath #HauntedEncounters #SupernaturalJourney #ParanormalResearchers #SpiritCommunication #GriefAndTheAfterlife #UnexplainedMysteries #GhostHuntersLove real ghost stories?

There are moments in life when words fall short and the only thing that truly helps is the steady presence of someone who refuses to leave. Grief has a way of revealing who our friends really are — not the ones who say the right things, but the ones who show up, stay close, and keep showing up long after the casseroles stop coming and the group chat goes quiet. Most of us have experienced both sides of that equation, and if we're honest, we know there are times we haven't shown up the way we wished we had. Proverbs 18:24 draws a striking contrast between the friend who disappears when life gets hard and the one who sticks closer than a brother. That kind of friendship doesn't happen by accident — it is built through intention, sacrifice, and a willingness to set our own comfort aside for the sake of someone we love. It also doesn't come from our own strength alone. It requires us to go to God, ask Him to search our hearts, and invite Him to shape us into the faithful, steadfast friends He has called us to be. Today is an invitation to reflect honestly on the friend you are — and to ask God to make you the kind of friend that others can count on when it matters most. Today's Bible Verse "One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." — Proverbs 18:24 Ponder Today True friendship is revealed not in the easy seasons, but in the hard ones — the friends who stick closer than a brother are the ones who show up when showing up costs something. When we can't take away someone's pain, we can still surround them with practical love — a meal, a prayer, a quiet presence — and that matters more than we know. Becoming a faithful friend requires honest self-reflection: are we truly available to others, or are we more focused on the comfort of our own lives? Fair-weather friendship is not the standard God calls us to — He calls us to stay through the storms, the grief, and the long and uncertain seasons of life. When we commit to loving others with steadfast friendship, it changes us — drawing out humility, compassion, and a heart that is less centered on self and more oriented toward serving others. Today's Prayer Dear Lord, help me to be a friend who sticks closer than a brother. I want to reflect Your love, kindness, and compassion in the way I show up for the people in my life. When those I love walk through difficult seasons, make me a steady and faithful source of support — knowing when to speak and when to simply sit beside them in silence. Where I have fallen short, lovingly correct me and reshape my heart. Thank You for discipling me in the way I should go. Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?

"A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him." Seth Dahl back for a 5th conversation on DadAwesome. He breaks down what's actually happening when dad loses it and what it takes to change. ✅ Why emotional dysregulation is an identity issue, not just a temper problem ✅ The loaded gun analogy that will change how you think about anger at home ✅ Teen boundaries, the Wyze Phone, and how to give freedom without losing your mind SUMMARY A man who can't regulate his emotions forces his wife and kids to do it for him. That's the hard truth Seth Dahl drops early in this conversation, and it only gets more honest from there. This is a raw, alumni-only Zoom call that turned into something worth sharing with every dad who's ever lost it over something stupid and wondered why. Takeaways: If you can be triggered, you're identifying with something more than your role as a dad. That's an identity issue, not just a temper issue. Unprocessed emotions don't disappear. They show up as anger, porn, checked-out dads, and kids walking on eggshells. God's model in Genesis wasn't control. It was influence with a boundary. That's the parenting theology most of us are missing. For teenagers, the online world is the living room. Know who they're talking to, just like you would if they came to your house. The Wise Phone gives kids what they need without what gets them in trouble. GUEST: Seth Dahl is an author, speaker, grief recovery specialist, and emotional health coach. He and his wife have three kids and have developed a deep framework around completing past emotions, processing present emotions, and shaping future ones. Seth is a longtime friend of DadAwesome and is featured in the DADAWESOME book.

Jeremy's mom was a protector, an optimist, and someone who held onto a sense of lightness - even after a cancer diagnosis that led to her death just a few months later. In this episode, Jeremy shares what it was like to navigate such a short window between his mom's diagnosis and death, and how her outlook continues to shape him and his grief. From visiting her just before her death to to time spent in the woods bow hunting, he describes the ways he still feels connected to her. After her death, Jeremy's connection to nature and hunting became a foundation for staying close with his mom. From finding a deer skull to a particularly challenging hunt, he felt her presence and support come through. Jeremy also turned to reconnecting with his Filipino heritage, joining a grief group, and moving to be closer to family as ways to cope with the loss. At the heart of this conversation is the idea of ongoing connection - how relationships with people who have died can continue and evolve over time. Note for listeners: This episode includes non-graphic references to bow hunting and the death of an animal. Please take care while listening. In this episode, we talk about: Grief after a rapid illness and loss Staying connected to someone who has died The role of nature and ritual in grief Finding support, even when you're unsure Honoring family, culture, and heritage Read transcript.

That's the tension Lara Silverman lives with every day as a Stanford-trained attorney turned bestselling author and musician whose rare neurological condition keeps the world spinning even while she's still. We sit down with Lara to explore how chronic illness, career loss, and the death of her husband became the crucible where faith deepened, identity shifted, and joy returned in surprising forms.Lara shares the origin of her suffering—an abrupt collapse two weeks into her dream role as a federal prosecutor—and the decade-long journey that followed: misdiagnoses, hospitalizations, and years bedridden. She opens up about the bedside visits from a church acquaintance newly battling terminal cancer, the theology of suffering he brought with him, and the love that grew between them against all odds. Their marriage, brief and beautiful, reframed blessing, exposed the hollowness of achievement-based worth, and reoriented Lara around a gospel that trades prosperity promises for a cross-shaped hope.This conversation moves beyond platitudes. We wrestle with the why behind suffering, how Scripture becomes a lifeline, and what it really means to hold eternity in view when the present is full of loss. Lara also reveals the creative paths that helped her heal—recording jazz from the edge of her bed, producing an original song about missing “normal,” and crafting viral Armenian comedy skits that helped her community laugh again. She discusses writing her memoir as a love story forged in trial, and a field guide for anyone navigating grief, disability, or chronic pain.If you've ever wondered where God is in the dark, how to find purpose when plans shatter, or how joy can coexist with tears, Lara's story offers honest answers and hard-won hope.

This week, I share about the recent unexpected loss of one of my longest and dearest friends, and the ways this particular grief has reshaped my perspective.I talk about the tension of suffering and faith, how trials expose why we truly follow Christ, and why grief for the believer is never without hope. I reflect on scriptures like 2 Corinthians 1, 1 Peter 1, Matthew 5, and 1 Thessalonians 4, and how they've anchored me through one of the hardest seasons I've walked through in a long time.This conversation is for anyone who may be mourning, carrying disappointment, or trying to understand how God's goodness still stands in the middle of pain. My prayer is that this episode reminds you that God is near to the brokenhearted, He wastes nothing, and even now, the Holy Spirit is present to comfort you.Bring your lament directly to the Father, and invite Him to meet you in the midst of your sorrow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this deeply personal episode, Marley opens up in a way she never has before — live from her Cape Town home (construction noise and all). This isn't a money episode. It's a human one.Marley shares what's been unfolding in her life over the past several months: a breakup, a loss, and a powerful internal shift around the concept of pausing — sitting with feeling rather than running from it. She also announces her intention to show up even more fully and authentically on the podcast going forward.What We Cover:The coping mechanism that doesn't workMarley unpacks her lifelong pattern of retreating when things get hard — running to forests as a kid, ignoring friends, moving countries, numbing out. She shares how she learned that suppressing emotion doesn't make it go away; it compiles it until the nervous system hits its limit.The Sacred PauseThe practice that changed everything: choosing to respond rather than react. Marley breaks down how pausing allows you to feel and process rather than project — and why sitting on the other side of those feelings has brought her more peace, depth, and capacity for wealth and connection than anything else.Healing your relationship with the masculine (and money)Marley opens up about her breakup earlier this year and the profound healing it catalyzed. She shares her belief that the person who triggers you most is often your greatest teacher — and how this relationship forced her to face 31 years of unprocessed emotion she'd been running from her whole life.Expanding the brand of this podcastMarley announces she's done hiding parts of herself. Her clients know she goes way beyond money — into relationships, family dynamics, self-worth, feminine energy, burnout. She wants the podcast to reflect that too. All of her, not just the branded version.Grief, and her grandfatherA tender and raw share: Marley's grandfather passed away last week. She talks about the unique difficulty of anticipatory grief — waiting for someone to go — and how she gave herself full permission to stop working and just be with it.Quotes from This Episode:"When we shove down the emotion, it doesn't go away. It gets shoved down, and then it compiles, and it creates this pressure cooker.""The pause has allowed me to hold so much more wealth, so much more depth — it makes me feel in control.""I finally found something I didn't want to run away from."Resources:
Lin-Manuel Miranda called Mike up a few months ago to say he wanted Mike to meet comedian and author Kevin Fredericks. This week, Mike sits down with him for the first time and the two of them break open Kevin's new solo show “Grief Sucks,” which Kevin wrote about his brother's death. The two discuss how to make the darkest topics funny, how being a comic is mostly about failing and then doing it again anyway, and what to do when you accidentely cry on stage. Plus, some thoughts about the Oreos you eat on the way to eat Oreos. Please consider donating to Storm DeBarge's non-profit work (CashApp: $bijan1996) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The same patterns. The same pain. And no matter how much work you think you've done — it finds you again. Rev. Dr. Lyanla Vanzant is a six-time New York Times #1 bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and one of the most powerful voices in personal healing of our generation. Host of Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN and called by Oprah the most powerful spiritual healer on the planet — but today, she's just Auntie. Her new book Spiritual Hygiene is a practical guide to clearing the emotional residue that has quietly been running your life, and this conversation is one of the most honest, most grounded Dr. G has had about what it actually takes to heal from the inside out. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why you keep attracting the same relationships — and what the pattern is actually telling you about what's unresolved inside you • What emotional constipation really is, how it builds up over a lifetime, and why it eventually ruptures in ways you don't expect • Why self-awareness — not forgiveness, not mantras, not more events — is the first real step to spiritual hygiene If you've read the books, done the work, and still feel stuck — this is the episode that will show you why, and where to go next.

Grief can overshadow truth and exhaust faith, but victory begins when we remember what God has already spoken–promises that restore our identity, authority, and hope. The resurrection stands as undeniable proof that His word is final, calling us to reject a divided life and fully surrender to a faith that transforms how we live.
