In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 1: A Completely New Way. We reflect on the "little way" of St. Thérèse, the invitation to become spiritual children before the Father, and how weakness becomes the very place where Christ comes to meet us. We also talk about the difference between being childish and childlike, why true maturity in faith begins with admitting our own poverty, and how small acts of courage open the door to deep healing. This week, we invite you to name the desires stirring in your heart and let the Holy Spirit awaken a new song within you.   Heather's One Thing - Franciscan's Campus-wide "Behold" Retreat Sister Miriam's One Thing - Healing Wounds by Bishop Erik Varden  Michelle's One Thing - The O' Grady's Beach House  Michelle's Other One Thing - Emily Lex Watercolor Workbooks    Journal Questions: How often do I accept the letter of God's adoption of me, and not the spirit of God's adoption? Where in my life do I need Mother Mary to smile upon me? How have I turned to self-reliance this Lent? Where is God inviting me to become more adult and free? What is the new song the Lord wants to put in my heart?   Discussion Questions: When do you notice orphanhood in your heart? What are you learning from St. Therese this Lent? When have you experienced the healing delight of a mother? Is it difficult for you to name your desires? What is one desire God has placed on your heart this Lent? What is the "yes" God is asking you to make today?   Quotes to Ponder: "You know, Mother, that I have always desired to be a saint, but alas, I have always realized, when I compared myself to the saints, that there is between them and me the same difference as exists between a mountain whose summit is lost in the skies, and the obscure grain of sand trodden underfoot by passers-by. Instead of getting discouraged, I said to myself: "God could not" "inspire us with desires that were unrealizable, so despite my littleness I can aspire to holiness. It is impossible for me to grow up, I must put up with myself as I am, with all my imperfections; but I want to find how to get to Heaven by a little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)   "Each of us has an absolute need for an inner transformation that makes us "as little as a child." What that means and how to put it into practice are exactly what Thérèse teaches in a simple, luminous way. That is why she was proclaimed a Doctor—that is, a teacher—of the Church." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 6)   "The heart of Christian life is to receive and welcome God's tenderness and goodness, the revelation of his merciful love, and to let oneself be transformed interiorly by that love." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 7)   Scripture for Lectio: "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." (2 Corinthians 12:9)   Sponsor - Healed and Restored: Healed and Restored is a non-profit organization located in the Charlotte, NC area that was created in 2020 to fill a void and respond to a need that has been long overlooked in our society. A program that is 100% dedicated to helping women heal in the aftermath of abuse, assault, and other traumatic experiences. According to the United Nations, one in three girls and women around the world has been subjected to sexual and/or physical abuse at least once in their lives. Studies show that women who have been through abuse (of all types) have higher levels of fear, are more isolated, and face greater mental health problems. In the aftermath of any of these traumatic events, women will sometimes resort to hurting themselves through cutting, eating disorders, and addictions. Without proper care and healing, these dark cycles can persist for years. We help women and girls realize that God desires to heal every single one of His beloved children. We teach them that the enemy is a master manipulator. As soon as a person gets hurt, the devil begins to plant all kinds of lies in our hurting souls. Some of these lies are: God doesn't love you, everything that happened is your fault, you should be forever ashamed, and you will never find healing and peace. The Mission The Healed and Restored mission is to help women and girls who are survivors of abuse, assault, domestic violence, trafficking, and all other forms of trauma find healing and restoration. Grounded in Catholic teachings and through a combination of counseling, life coaching, intimate workshops, practical tools, spiritual mentoring, and community support we help women and girls transform pain into purpose— empowering them to not only survive, but thrive. Since 2020, Healed and Restored has helped over 500 women and girls on their journey to process their unhealed wounds. Never could we have predicted how much God would bless our mission in such a short period of time. All of this has us convinced that there are times when God uses our deepest pain to propel us on the path to our greatest calling! If you or someone you know could use the assistance of our trained and compassionate Catholic Therapists/Counselors and money is an issue, please do not hesitate to reach out to us by emailing info@healedandrestored.org for more information and guidance. Or if you feel called to be part of this mission by volunteering your time, we would love to hear from you. Together and guided by the Holy Spirit, we can make a difference in the life of those around us who are suffering.   Timestamps:  00:00 Healed and Restored 01:31 Intro 02:17 Welcome 04:26 Scripture Verse and Quote to Ponder 05:35 Trusting in Our Creator 09:49 The Path of Spiritual Childhood 12:53 Healed by Delight 16:27 What is the "Little Way"? 19:36 Childlike vs Childish 24:05 The Role of Holy Scripture 30:10 One Things

Frankie Ballard burst onto the country rock scene in 2010 with grit in his voice and gasoline in his veins, scoring three consecutive No. 1 hits, including Sunshine & Whiskey and racking up nearly a billion global streams. He toured with legends, lived on the road more than 200 days a year, and embodied the carefree, hard-driving spirit his songs celebrated. But behind the success, the pace was unsustainable. By 2020, the chase for approval and constant motion had taken its toll. Ballard stepped away from the spotlight, started a family, and quietly deepened his faith. What followed wasn’t a rebrand, it was a realignment. In 2025, he returned with The Messenger, a gospel-leaning, scripture-rooted record infused with blues and rock conviction. Then came “Money Runs Out,” a sharp reflection on loyalty, loss, and what remains when fame fades. Today, Frankie Ballard isn’t chasing charts, he’s chasing truth. Grounded in fatherhood, disciplined in faith, and unafraid of hard questions, his music now carries the weight of lived experience. This isn’t a comeback. It’s a reckoning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Mea Culpa, we're revisiting a conversation from August with Army veteran, former congressional candidate, and democracy advocate Marcus Flowers. Together, we examined Donald Trump's accelerating authoritarian instincts, from secret meetings with Vladimir Putin and sidelining U.S. allies to weaponizing the Department of Justice against critics. Grounded in Flowers' military and national security experience, this conversation remains strikingly relevant as we break down how culture wars, fear, and political spectacle are used to consolidate power, erode democratic norms, and normalize retaliation against dissent.

Welcome to episode #1025 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when panic travels faster than proof, few marketers are as clear-eyed… and as human… as Ann Handley. A pioneering digital marketing strategist (MarketingProfs), bestselling author (Everybody Writes and Content Rules), longtime champion of writing that actually means something and dear friend (also, if you're not susbscribed to her newsletter, Total Annarchy, you really should be), Ann has built a career reminding businesses that the point of content isn't velocity… it's connection. In her recent essay, Something Messy Is Happening: On AI, Panic, and Asking Better Questions, she pushes back against the apocalyptic certainty surrounding AI job displacement and challenges the framing that faster always wins. Responding to venture capitalist Matt Shumer's argument, Something Big Is Happening, that AI will eliminate half of white-collar work within a few years, Ann dissects the seductive panic embedded in exponential curves and racing metaphors, arguing that technological capability does not equal economic inevitability. She reminds us that adoption is human-shaped, that judgment compounds when speed becomes cheap, and that friction is often where thinking actually happens. Rather than choosing between "adapt or die," Ann advocates for a steadier path: use the tools, reject the hysteria, protect the work that builds trust, expertise and meaning over time. Grounded in curiosity rather than fear, her perspective reframes the moment not as a race to outrun machines but as an invitation to ask better questions about what we're building… and why.

 After 22 years of betrayal, slavery, prison, and waiting, Joseph finally sees how every painful chapter fits into a bigger plan. When his brothers, the very ones who sold him, stand before him in fear, Joseph doesn't choose revenge. He chooses perspective. What they meant for harm, God meant for good. In one powerful moment of forgiveness, the upper story becomes clear: God had been positioning Joseph to save lives, preserve a family, and protect the future of His promise. This final scene reminds us that even our deepest wounds are not wasted when placed in God's hands.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is a weekday podcast designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

Episode 4: High‑Achieving Women Who Are Silently Struggling In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, hosts Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP‑BC, and Katharine “Katie” Krych, MSN, RN, Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education, PEL‑CSN, sit down with special guest Dr. Arlicia Miller, founder and Chief Transformation Officer of the Umbrella of Artistic Expression and life transformation coach with Dual Minds Integrative Psychiatry. Together, they dive into a topic so many women live with daily but rarely name out loud: the experience of being a high‑functioning woman who is quietly, persistently struggling beneath the surface. Drawing from Dr. Miller's transformational coaching work, Dr. Cabrera's psychiatric mental health expertise, and Katie's background in nursing and education, the conversation unpacks the hidden challenges that accompany competence, ambition, caregiving roles, and emotional labor. They explore why high‑functioning women often feel obligated to “push through,” how early conditioning reinforces silence, and why vulnerability can feel risky—even among friends, colleagues, and partners. From motherhood and marriage, to career advancement, to the weight of societal expectations, this episode explores how women learn to hold everything together externally while internally battling exhaustion, depletion, and self‑doubt. The hosts also examine how gender norms, family roles, trauma histories, and cultural narratives shape women's measurements of worthiness and success. With compassion and honesty, they discuss the “struggle bus,” the fear of judgment, the stigma around asking for help, and the labels women often carry without realizing how deeply they shape identity. Grounded in lived experience, psychology, and integrative wellness, this episode reframes “high‑functioning” not as a badge of honor, but as a clue—an invitation to pause, rest, and reconnect with one's authentic self. As always, the hosts offer thoughtful takeaways and practical strategies, including the importance of small resets, the power of journaling, the need for safe relationships, and even a guided moment of box breathing to help listeners regulate their nervous systems in real time. Reflective, relatable, and deeply human, this episode encourages women to release the myth of having it all together and replace it with a more compassionate truth: you don't have to carry everything alone.

In this episode of the Ageless Future podcast, host Cade Archibald sits down with Dr. Brandon Burke to explore his journey from building multiple successful orthodontic practices to stepping into a new chapter focused on coaching and personal development. Brandon shares how growing up in a small Utah town shaped his drive, what it looked like to build a practice from scratch during the recession, and the moment he realized his achievements weren't the same as fulfillment. The conversation dives into themes of identity, burnout, resilience, and “unbecoming”—letting go of external validation to reconnect with purpose, emotional awareness, and grounded leadership in family and community. Brandon closes with a message about choosing to live as a creator rather than a victim, and how his most difficult season became the turning point that helped him realign his life.BRANDON BURKE:Websites: gettinlostisbeingfound.com and more-than-love.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/gettinlostisbeingfound/FB: @safetobeseenTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gettinlostisbeing/YouTube: Safe To Be Seen~ https://youtube.com/@safetobeseenPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/safe-to-be-seen/id1817823527AGELESS FUTURE:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Why does someone who has led in extreme, high-pressure environments write a book about mindfulness and resilience? In this episode, I sit down with Ash Alexander-Cooper, OBE - former elite military commander and author of Mindful Soldier, to talk about the lived experiences that shaped his leadership and the lessons earned along the way. We explore why he wrote the book, what real-world leadership under pressure taught him about responsibility and resilience, and how he now works with leaders to build steadiness from the inside out. Each chapter of Mindful Soldier includes practical tools and exercises, making this more than a story. It is a guide people can actively apply in their own lives and leadership. We also discuss the individuals and organizations this work has already impacted. Grounded. Practical. Reflective.

Nervous system leadership becomes essential when pressure and stress quietly shape team culture. If you feel responsible for the emotional tone of every room, this isn't a leadership flaw. It may be identity-level misalignment, not lack of strength.Most leaders try to fix culture with strategy.But culture is shaped long before strategy is spoken.In this episode, we explore nervous system leadership — not as theory, but as lived practice. If you've ever felt exhausted from carrying the emotional climate of your team, or confused about why tension returns even when results are strong, this conversation will meet you.This episode reinforces a simple truth:You cannot control every nervous system in the room.But you absolutely influence the tone that enters it.This is not about becoming softer.It is about becoming steadier.And steadiness is not passive. It is regulated intensity. Controlled momentum. Grounded authority.In Season 4, we are walking through the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway — moving from recognition, to release, to reclamation, and now to reinforcement. Reinforcement is where awareness becomes pattern. Where hope becomes embodied leadership.In this conversation, we explore:• Why burnout in leadership often stems from over-transmitting urgency• How pressure culture forms through shared stress responses• The difference between implied urgency and stated standards• Why many high-capacity humans became the “thermostat” long before they became leaders• How one embodied pause before entering a room can begin reshaping cultureIdentity-Level Recalibration is not another productivity tactic.It is not performance optimization.It is not a communication hack.If you've ever wondered:Why does my team mirror my stress?Why does culture feel tense even when goals are clear?Why am I tired of being the strongest nervous system in every room?You're not broken.You may simply be reinforcing patterns you learned long before you were leading.Reinforcement is hopeful because culture is responsive. Not instant. But responsive. Consistency builds trust. Steadiness compounds.Today's Micro Recalibration:Before your next interaction, pause and ask, “Am I about to transmit urgency — or steadiness?” Take one full breath. Name expectations clearly. Replace implied pressure with calm clarity.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!

When Change Feels Hard: Understanding “Belief Echoes”In this episode of Think Thursday, Molly revisits a powerful concept at the heart of behavior change—belief echoes. If you've ever told yourself, “Change is just hard for me” or “I'm not someone who sticks with things,” this episode will help you understand what's actually happening in your brain—and why you're not broken.Grounded in neuroscience and mindset work, Molly explains why lasting change isn't about willpower. It's about the thoughts you've practiced for years without realizing it.What You'll Learn1. What a “Belief Echo” IsA belief echo is a thought you've repeated so often that it no longer feels like a thought—it feels like truth.Statements like:“This is just who I am.”“I never follow through.”“I'm not consistent.”These aren't facts. They're rehearsed mental patterns.2. Why Your Brain Protects Limiting BeliefsYour brain is a pattern-recognition machine. It craves familiarity—even when that familiarity is painful. Through confirmation bias, it selectively gathers evidence that supports your existing identity.If you believe you “never stick with things,” your brain will:Highlight every time you quitDownplay or ignore times you followed throughStore that “evidence” to reinforce the beliefIt's not sabotage. It's efficiency.3. The Real Reason Change Feels HardChange feels hard because you're asking your brain to:Let go of a familiar identityBelieve something new before you have proofYou must interrupt an old belief before you have evidence of the new one.That gap is where discomfort lives.4. Change Takes Thinking TimeWe often say “change takes time,” but what it really takes is intentional thinking time.New belief → practiced repeatedly → new feelings → new actions → new results.You don't build evidence first. You build belief first.5. A Practical ExampleOld belief: “I never stick with things.” New thought to practice: “I am learning how to follow through.”That subtle shift:Reduces shameCreates possibilityOpens the door to consistent actionSmall, believable thoughts are how identity shifts begin.The Science Behind ItThis episode reinforces foundational Alcohol Minimalist principles found in Breaking the Bottle Legacy , including:The Behavior Map-Results CycleCognitive behavioral principlesConfirmation bias researchThe Think-Feel-Act frameworkAt its core: Your drinking behavior is never random. It is driven by thought.Key TakeawaysYou are not failing at change.You are experiencing the momentum of well-practiced thoughts.Beliefs are not identity—they are rehearsed sentences.Sustainable change starts with choosing a new sentence on purpose.Your brain can learn a new identity—but only through repetition.Reflection QuestionsWhat sentences about yourself are you reinforcing daily?What belief echo might be quietly driving your drinking?What is one small, believable thought you could begin practicing today?Change begins with noticing the story you're telling about who you are.What belief echo do you suspect might be operating in the background of your drinking right now? ★ Support this podcast ★

Are you wondering how to find peace in a stressed-out world? In this episode, Victoria explores how to experience the peace of God in your mind and body, how to calm your nervous system using Scripture-based practices, and practical steps for emotional regulation that help you live with steadiness and joy.In this powerful episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, Victoria invites you to see peace in an entirely new way. Not as the absence of chaos. Not as pretending everything is fine. But as emotional regulation — the ability to calm your nervous system so your spirit can stay anchored.This is Part 4 of the Tending the Inner Garden series, and we're moving into one of the most needed conversations for Christian women today: how to experience the peace of Christ in your body, not just believe it in your head.Victoria unpacks how tending your inner garden requires more than awareness, truth, and hope. It requires stabilization. Because without peace, hope burns out. Without regulation, joy cannot flourish.Through relatable personal stories — including surprising lessons learned on the pickleball court — she reveals how emotional triggers surface in everyday moments. What feels small on the outside often exposes deeper patterns inside. And instead of shaming those reactions, Victoria shows you how to regulate them with gentleness and wisdom.Grounded in Scripture and supported by neuroscience, this episode offers a holistic approach to mental and emotional health. Peace is not passive. It is cultivated. It is practiced. It is protected.If you've ever felt guilty for being anxious…If you've ever wondered why you “know truth” but still feel overwhelmed…If you've been striving for peace instead of tending it…This conversation will meet you right where you are.Peace guards your heart and mind.Hope restores growth.And joy begins to flourish when the soil is stable.It's time to stop striving and start tending.Next up: Tending Joy.

After two long years of being forgotten in prison, everything changes for Joseph in a single day. When Pharaoh's troubling dreams leave Egypt's wisest men speechless, Joseph is suddenly summoned from the dungeon. Instead of promoting himself, he humbly points to God as the source of wisdom and insight. In one breathtaking turn, the prisoner becomes the second most powerful man in Egypt. Joseph's story reminds us that no season of waiting is wasted, and when God moves, He can change everything in a moment. His timing may feel slow, but it is always precise—and perfectly aligned with a purpose bigger than we can see.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is a weekday podcast designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

The question is: Are you managing the whole thing — or just the part that makes you look good? What changes when you stop hiding your weaknesses — even from yourself? In this episode, we unpack The Whole Ledger Principle: • Insecure men hide flaws. • Arrogant men deny them. • Grounded men account for them. Real confidence isn't pretending you're flawless. It's managing reality. Every man has strengths. Every man has liabilities. The problem isn't weakness — it's weakness unmanaged. We talk about: • Why self-knowledge creates calm • How unacknowledged flaws leak into relationships • The power of saying, “Here's where I'm dangerous — and here's how I manage it.” Your circle doesn't need perfection. It needs predictability. ⸻ Practical: The 3-Line Ledger Take 5 minutes and write: 1. One strength that makes you effective 2. One weakness that makes you dangerous 3. One system you use to manage it Confidence isn't claiming perfection. It's stewarding the whole ledger. That's how we push back chaos. #PushingBackChaos #PBC # HeroesMediaGroup #HMG #WholeLedger #GroundedMen #MasculineLeadership #SelfGovernance #EmotionalMaturity #FaithDrivenMen #GrowthMindset #MenWhoLead #AccountabilityCulture Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Kristin Collier joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for part one of a two-part conversation on IVF and assisted reproductive technologies, an issue that touches real marriages, real longing, and often deep heartbreak. The desire for children is good and God-given, yet the technologies designed to help can raise significant ethical questions for Christian families and healthcare professionals. In this episode, Dr. Collier, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan and a leading voice on human dignity at the margins of life, helps us explore why being “pro-baby” cannot mean “by any means necessary.” Grounded in the imago Dei, we consider what's often overlooked in the IVF process, including embryo loss, freezing, genetic screening, and the broader moral framework shaping modern reproductive medicine.

What happens when a body arrives at a hospital morgue without any record of how it got there? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro examine a disturbing class of real-world cases involving unidentified bodies that appear in hospital morgues with no paperwork, no chain of custody, and no clear explanation. The episode begins with a firsthand email from a night-shift worker who briefly stepped away from an empty morgue—only to return to find a body placed neatly in the room, as if it had always belonged there. From that moment, the discussion expands into documented incidents across U.S. hospitals and medical examiner offices, where decedents entered official custody before they technically existed in the system. Drawing on acknowledged cases in California and Illinois, professional standards from the National Association of Medical Examiners, and historical precedent, Kat and Jethro explore how modern medical systems quietly normalize these unexplained arrivals by assigning case numbers and moving forward—without ever addressing the moment something appeared where nothing had been before. The episode then shifts to a seemingly unrelated but deeply connected subject: how human societies remember lives at all. Long before databases and paperwork, entire civilizations relied on living memory. Kat and Jethro explore the tradition of griots and other oral historians across West Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia—individuals entrusted with preserving genealogies, histories, and identities entirely through story, music, and performance. Backed by neuroscience research, the episode examines why rhythm and narrative are so effective at preserving memory, even when written records fail. Together, these two topics form a quiet, unsettling question at the heart of the episode: what happens when systems designed to document human existence fall short—and who remembers us when they do? Grounded in documented cases, historical tradition, and modern science, this episode blends true mystery with cultural insight, revealing how bodies can arrive without histories, and histories can survive without bodies.

Coming to you live from the Oregon HFMA Winter Conference, we will discuss observations drawn from Office Hours, the Infinx thought leadership forum where healthcare leaders regularly explore the realities of change across revenue cycle operations.Across these conversations, artificial intelligence consistently emerges as the anchor that connects common themes involving workflows, staffing models, compliance pressures, and technology adoption, while accelerating both progress and tension.The discussion will focus on how change is experienced in practice, why some areas of healthcare evolve rapidly while others remain resistant, and how teams are affected operationally and emotionally along the way. Grounded in real conversations and lived experience, the goal is to offer a realistic perspective on navigating change while helping organizations and their teams adapt with confidence and clarity.

Joseph's journey takes him even deeper into adversity as he sits in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, and now seemingly forgotten, he has every reason to grow bitter and give up. Yet even in the darkest place of his life, Scripture quietly reminds us that the Lord was with him. While doors seem closed and promises go unfulfilled, God is still working behind the scenes, shaping character and preparing purpose. Joseph's prison season teaches us that waiting is not wasted and that feeling forgotten does not mean being forsaken.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is a weekday podcast designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

In this episode of Grounded and Aligned™, Karen Gombault addresses a pressure most senior leaders recognize immediately: how to stay focused when the organization feels unsettled. A new CEO, a reorganization, acquisitions, limited communication, and leadership turnover can quickly create uncertainty. At the same time messages, meetings, and internal speculation compete for your attention. If you are operating with significant scope, your ability to decide what deserves your focus becomes central to your effectiveness. This episode looks at how senior leaders can direct their attention deliberately and avoid being pulled into noise that adds no value.Karen looks atHow leadership changes and reorganizations increase distraction and dilute executive attentionThe discipline of focusing on what you can control, including decisions, time allocation, and prioritiesThe expectation that senior leaders provide steadiness when teams feel unsettledThe impact of gossip and speculation on anxiety, productivity, and decision qualityThe cumulative effect of constant digital interruption on focus and performanceHow dissatisfaction or stagnation in a role can make distraction more likelyAt VP and SVP level, focus is not a personal productivity preference. It directly affects your credibility and impact. In uncertain conditions, your attention determines what moves forward and what stalls. Choosing where you invest it is part of the role.Next steps

You might be familiar with the placebo effect, which is the opposite of the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is how negative expectations about how medical encounters can produce negative outcomes. And, as we've talked about before, your brain is a prediction machine. That's literally its job! So what does this actually look like in everyday life, how can it impact vestibular disorders, and the role mindset plays in the impact of the nocebo effect. In this episode, we'll dig into: How side effects play a role in the nocebo effect Examples of the prediction method in action What research reveals about the impact of the nocebo effect How asking better questions can lessen the impact of the nocebo effect When your brain is told something, it will believe it. As humans, we're designed to find the negatives. And we know that about ourselves, so we need to then intentionally decide that we're going to shift the way we think about things. Though it's not always our first instinct, it's absolutely doable!

Create space for your manifestations—without chaos, burnout, or starting over How do you dream bigger… without burning out? Without quitting everything? Without blowing up a life that already has a lot of good in it? In this honest and grounded solo episode, Jen dives into a manifestation block that many women quietly experience: wanting more, while also feeling responsible for the life they've built. Have you ever thought:  "I want more freedom, more joy, more income… but I can't just start over,"? You're not alone!  Drawing from her own journey of pivoting out of a soul-sucking 8–5 (without reckless leaps), Jen shares how micro actions, clarity, and aligned shifts led to her lifestyle design and financial freedom over time — not overnight. This is manifestation in real life. Practical. Grounded. And deeply empowering. ✨ Inside This Episode: Why dreaming bigger can feel unsafe (and what your nervous system has to do with it) The truth about "burn it all down" messaging vs sustainable manifestation How to pivot without chaos or dramatic life implosions The hidden reason manifestations stall (hint: lack of space) Jen's personal story of shifting careers while still paying the bills The power of micro actions and long-term lifestyle pivots Why clarity on what you don't want accelerates manifestation How momentum builds trust, confidence, and aligned opportunities A gentle reframe: you are allowed to want more and honor your current life

Joseph's story takes another sharp turn as betrayal gives way to temptation. Rising from slave to trusted servant in Potiphar's house, everything seems to stabilize—until he's pressured to compromise his integrity. In a moment where disappointment could have justified disobedience, Joseph chooses honor over impulse, faithfulness over feeling. Even when doing the right thing lands him in prison instead of promotion, he refuses to sin against God. This part of the story reminds us that adversity often tests not just our endurance, but our character. When life feels unfair, will you still choose obedience?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is a weekday podcast designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

It's incredibly orienting to discover that when we say “yes” to Jesus, we are now part of a great campaign—one that's already in motion—to help overthrow evil, restore the human heart, and fix God's universe. This wildly beautiful invitation, however, isn't secondary. It takes priority over our personal plans and priorities. As this series concludes, John, Blaine, and Allen reveal practices for staying grounded in the larger story, ways that God is at work in the world today, and how the unseen realm dramatically impacts our lives. Keywords: Christian, Podcast, Grounding, Spiritual Warfare_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

One of the most powerful stories in Scripture is the story of Joseph, a young man whose life unraveled almost overnight. Betrayed by his brothers, stripped of his status, and sold into slavery at just seventeen, Joseph's dreams seemed shattered before they ever had a chance to unfold. Yet behind the dysfunction, jealousy, and injustice, God was writing a bigger story. If you've ever felt blindsided by disappointment, betrayal, or a future that looks nothing like you imagined, Joseph's journey reminds us that adversity is never the end of the story. Even when the lower story feels chaotic, God is still working in the upper story.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is a weekday podcast designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.

Part methodical, part soulful storyteller, he shares how that balance shapes both his music and his career.

Sermon, 02/22/2026: Rooted And Grounded

Welcome to episode #1024 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when the digital infrastructure that underpins modern life feels increasingly hostile, few voices have been as prescient... or as relentless... as Cory Doctorow. A science fiction novelist, journalist and technology activist, Cory serves as Special Advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and has long stood at the intersection of storytelling, policy and power. Over the course of a prolific career (one that includes bestselling fiction, influential tech policy books like Chokepoint Capitalism and The Internet Con, and his widely read Pluralistic blog) Cory has chronicled how digital markets consolidate, calcify and ultimately betray their users. His latest nonfiction work, Enshittification - Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse And What To Do About It, gives a name to the slow degradation of online platforms: the predictable cycle in which services begin by delighting users, then exploit them, then squeeze the businesses that depend on them, until only monopoly power remains. Cory situates this decline not as technological inevitability but as the result of specific policy choices that empowered monopolies and weakened enforcement. At the same time, Cory challenges the fatalism that often surrounds technological decline. Anti-circumvention laws, regulatory capture and collective action problems may constrain consumers, but they are not immovable forces. Cultural norms can shift. Policy can be rewritten. Markets can be redesigned. Grounded in economic literacy and moral urgency, Cory's work calls for ethical leadership, regulatory courage and a reclamation of agency in the systems that shape our digital lives.

In this episode of the Modern Soccer Coach Podcast, Gary Curneen sits down again with Bernat Mosquera to explore how football is evolving beyond rigid structures and fixed positions. We dive into the shift from “playing the game model” to playing what is actually happening in front of you. The rise of generalists. The importance of specialists. The impact of man-marking. The changing nature of space. And why rhythm and tempo may be the next tactical frontier. Bernat challenges a lot of current thinking. Are we overvaluing structure? Are we missing the emotional side of the game? Are small-space habits limiting our players? And what does training need to look like if we want dynamic, adaptable footballers?
