Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

If every simple request turns into a power struggle, you're not alone. How to Get Your Child to Cooperate WITHOUT a Fight reveals why cooperation starts in the nervous system—not willpower. Guided by Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, founder of Regulation First Parenting™ and expert in childhood dysregulation, you'll learn calmer, brain-based solutions that work.If every simple request feels like a negotiation, meltdown, or power struggle, you're not alone. This isn't bad parenting—it's a nervous system under pressure. When kids can't regulate, cooperation goes offline. And once you understand that, everything changes.In this episode, I break down the real neurological reason kids resist, why “just listen” doesn't work, and the exact strategies that help kids of all ages—toddlers, school-age kids, and even older kids—cooperate without fights.Why does my child say “no” to everything—even simple things like brushing teeth?Because a dysregulated brain chooses avoidance over cooperation—every time. When your child's nervous system is overloaded, they lose working memory, impulse control, and the ability to start tasks. Even brushing teeth or putting on socks can feel like too much, even for our own children.This isn't disrespect or control—it's overwhelm. When parents shift from correcting behavior to encouraging kids through regulation, everything changes.Key takeaways:Behavior is communication, not defianceA “no” often means “I can't do this right now”Skills don't disappear—access to them doesChild's cooperation grows when adults regulate first and stay on the same teamReal-Life ExampleA mom I worked with felt like brushing teeth was a daily fight. Once she learned to regulate, connect, and then direct, the battles dropped—without teaching new skills. Her child finally accessed what he already knew.How do I stop power struggles before they start?Cooperation is a state, not a skill. You can't demand it—you create it through co-regulation by calming the brain first.The 3-step Regulation First approach:Regulate first: deep pressure, a hug, walking together, slowing your voiceConnect before you direct: get close, not loud; calm presence mattersGive brain-friendly directions: short, concrete, one stepInstead of: “Get ready—we're late!”Try: “Shoes on.”Connection flips the brain from threat to safety.

Together, they bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience, explaining how a spiritual life physically restructures the brain through the "bonding network"—the same neurological circuit that allows us to feel safe, held, and guided by the Universe. You'll discover why shifting your "Ventral Attention Network" from a state of control to one of receptivity is the biological secret to manifesting fast.

Along the way, the friends learn about empathy, courage, and what it really means to have a heart.

About our Guest: Frank Rice Jr. is an award-winning filmmaker, director, and founder of FJR Films, blending over two decades of military leadership with cinematic artistry. A U.S. Navy veteran and Tyler Perry Dreamers Collective Top 100 Finalist, Frank has collaborated with a range of production companies and creative teams across the U.S. and Japan to produce emotionally resonant and visually striking work. His short films, The Tunnel, Quietus of Man, and Juncture, have garnered multiple international festival awards for their depth, storytelling, and craft. His latest project, JUMPER, (post-production) is an emotionally charged psychological film exploring themes of memory, redemption, and ancestral connection through poetic imagery and sound. Guided by collaboration, Frank partners with talented cinematographers, editors, and animators to bring layered, human stories to life.   Episode Description: Damo opens the episode with a series of requests and demands before breaking down how one simple question from Aaron spiraled into a full meltdown. Look who popped out? Tisha jumps in to address a recent Facebook post aimed at women in the Navy, adding context and perspective. Aaron shares a few recommendations honoring the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. The crew is joined by Frank Rice Jr., who talks through his career in the Navy and his parallel path as a filmmaker. Frank reflects on growing up in Chicago, his early Navy years, what pulled him toward film, and the influence of his father, an actor. He discusses working with Sony Records, whether he ever produced projects for the Navy, his directing style, dream projects, and the roles he's most drawn to as a creator. The conversation also touches on casting, including whether Denzel Washington only plays one type of role, Frank's dream cast, and whether a rom-com is in his future. Frank and Aaron share how they first connected, what attracts him to a project, and the leaders who inspired him to stay in the Navy. The group digs into leadership, accountability, DRB, unfounded complaints, relaxing standards, and what kind of Navy Frank was leaving behind. The episode closes with a discussion on the rise of Teyana Taylor and thoughts heading into the upcoming awards season. These and more topics are covered in this episode.     Do you have a “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

838 Bone of My Bone and Flesh of My Flesh, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 2:21-25 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation NABRE 21 So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 The Lord God then built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman. When he brought her to the man, 23 the man said: "This one, at last, is bone of my bones     and flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called 'woman,'     for out of man this one has been taken." 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body. 25 The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame. ESV 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones     and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman,     because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Reflection on Scripture: The final stage of creation that God did was to create Man then Woman. Eve was the final act of creation. In our modern society we have totally lost the unity this was meant to entail. With a fallen perspective man and women are in competition for power, influence, and dominance. This was not what we were created to be. We were meant to be united as husband and wife as one flesh. Adam said bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This is the biblical basis for man and woman cleaving to each other and becoming one flesh.  I invite you to ponder what your perspective is on this? Do you embrace the perspective of the world? Do you feel that all men or women have certain characteristics that are the source of relationship conflicts? The truth is that both men and women are fallen. Many people have had such poor exposure to marriage, either parents or personally, Dont allow the fallen world destroy your perspective of what marriage should be.  Regardless of the experience you have had so far with the marriage relationships or not, know this, the world is seeking to destroy faithful families greater than any single thing. Challenge any notions that would favor one gender above the other. Yield your understanding of sexual ethics, gender ethics, and goodness overall, yeild them all to God. Trust in Him to direct you toward what God wants for you.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Milwaukee, Wisconsin episode   I've been traveling solo since 1972. Now you can experience for yourself the Best Selling Book Series: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, A Woman's Guide to Travel and Destinations in Her Prime, a book series found on Amazon. Please rate this podcast and the book!     The FAQ is "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?"   Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long because leaving feels like failure Travel Advice:  Organize your apps FAQ: "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" You talk confidence and preparation, but many women want a realistic breakdown of escalation: minor illness vs. hospital vs. trip-ending events, and who steps in when independence temporarily fails.   Answer: As a solo senior traveler, confidence doesn't mean pretending nothing will go wrong. It means knowing exactly what you'll do if it does. Before every trip, I decide three things: where I would go for medical care, how I would get there, and who would help me make decisions if I wasn't at my best. I carry travel medical insurance, keep my medications and health information accessible, and I don't hesitate to slow the trip or stop it if my body tells me to. Independence includes knowing when to accept help—and planning for it before you need it. Today's destination: Milwaukee, WI   Milwaukee is 92 miles from Chicago and is a place I visited while I lived in the Midwest. I've been planning this episode for years and love my Wisconsin friends.   Some fond memories include Summerfest in July for seeing great music, like Elvin Bishop, and watching Brewers baseball, with the mascot Bernie Brewer sliding when they hit a home run or win a game. The mascot used to slide into a 20-foot-high beer mug, but now they slide into the dugout.   https://www.jsonline.com/videos/sports/mlb/brewers/2019/04/04/taking-ride-down-bernie-brewers-slide-miller-park/3363629002/   Another memory is visiting Marquette University and the surrounding student areas. Take a stroll to the East Side and see the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Go to a sports event if you can. I'm a fan of college basketball, so take in a game for me.   You should check out the college scene, with at least a dozen higher education institutions here. There are about 70,000 college students here, the largest in Wisconsin, and the 6th largest in the US and Canada, with a high number of college students per capita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleges_and_universities_of_Milwaukee The Third Ward of Milwaukee is buzzing these days. It's a historic area with boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a public market. For a rainy day, you may check out one of the museums, like the Art Museum, known for its "Wings" of the Quadracci Pavilion, or the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibits. There's also a Harley-Davidson Museum and a Pabst Mansion.   If you want to see more beer artifacts, visit the Lakefront Brewery and consider a tour. On the Lakefront, you will find Discovery World, another museum with science, tech, and maritime exhibits. I enjoy walking the Lake Michigan Shoreline. You can find a bench and relax while people-watching. The riverwalk features public art and a bronze statue of The Fonz. If you travel in the winter, you will be chilled. Bone-chilling winds can be felt on Lake Michigan, so dress for that. In summer, it's a delight, but be aware of the changing weather conditions at all times. Stick to the main tourist attractions and don't wander far away. Be cautious if alone at night. Guided tours may be a good idea if you want company as a solo traveler. Don't Miss Food Scene: Try local specialties like cheese curds, bratwurst, and craft beers. Milwaukee Public Market: A foodie haven with a variety of vendors. Jazz in the Park: If visiting during the summer, Cathedral Square Park offers free outdoor concerts. Tips for Solo Travelers Stay in centrally located accommodations, such as the Downtown or the Historic Third Ward, for easy access to attractions. Join a guided tour for a fun way to explore with others (walking, brewery, or riverboat tours). Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long  Dr. Travelbest discusses choosing destinations wisely and the emotional trap of staying put when it's clearly not working—due to loneliness, stress, health concerns, or safety concerns. The mistake is prioritizing the plan over personal well-being. I stayed too long in the heat of Palm Springs in the summer. That was too hot, so I suggest finding a cooler spot in the middle of summer.   Today's Travel Advice-Organized APPS save time   Connect with Dr Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

Walk with me into a powerful story of loss, rebirth, and fierce integrity in this unforgettable episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light with Lopa van der Mersch, Founder and returning CEO of RASA, mother, and devoted student of Tibetan wisdom traditions. Lopa returns to the podcast for her first public conversation after years of deep initiation. She opens up about the season that dismantled everything she thought she was. Divorce, single motherhood, stepping away from leadership, and the sudden loss of her home in a devastating fire that erased nearly every external marker of identity. What followed was not collapse, but a profound rebirth. We explore how this identity death reshaped her leadership, her spirituality, and her relationship with compassion. Lopa shares how people pleasing and subtle compromise once shaped her path, and why returning as CEO required an uncompromising devotion to integrity, even when it did not make financial sense. Together, we dive into Tibetan wisdom, nervous system healing, and the difference between compassion that depletes and compassion that nourishes. Lopa reveals the daily rituals that now anchor her life, from unplugging at night and beginning mornings in practice, to allowing devotion to pulse between motherhood and leadership. We also talk about embodiment, pleasure, and beauty as necessities, not luxuries, and how RASA was born not as a product, but as a devotion to creating businesses that heal rather than harm, that nourish both people and the planet. We also talk about: -Identity death and rebuilding a life after everything falls away -Leading with integrity when compromise no longer feels possible -Tibetan wisdom as a refuge in grief, betrayal, and loss -Compassion that includes the self, not just others -Nervous system rituals that support sustainable leadership -Embodiment, sensual grounding, and pleasure as medicine -Conscious business as a path of healing and service This episode is a living transmission of what it means to lead from truth, trust yourself again, and build a life that is sane, humane, and deeply soul-led.

About Lopa:   Lopa van der Mersch is the founder and returning CEO of Rasa, a beloved adaptogenic beverage company that has served over 20 million cups worldwide. She's a mother, a truth-seeker, and a woman who has walked through profound initiations—burnout, loss, betrayal, rebuilding, and ultimately a return to leadership with far more wisdom, compassion, and clarity than before. Guided by years of deep spiritual study—and rare Tibetan masters who helped reshape her understanding of energy, purpose, and resilience—Lopa brings a powerful blend of grounded business strategy and embodied intuition to everything she does. Her mission now is simple and radical: to build companies that nourish rather than deplete, that consciously cultivate the human virtues that make life worth living and business worth doing, and to show that commerce can be a force for real good without sacrificing our health or our humanity.   Website: https://wearerasa.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lopalovesyou/ https://www.instagram.com/wearerasa/   This delicious moment of Intimate Conversations is brought to you by RASA.

What if one of the greatest ways we learn to understand each other… is through story?In this episode, Candace reflects on a moment from Open Book with Jenna Bush Hager, where author Emily Henry shares that the heart of fiction is learning to understand people who aren't like you. That idea opens a doorway into a deeper conversation about empathy, perspective, and the quiet ways books can shape who we become.Candace shares a thought Emily shared, how fiction invites us to enter a story carrying all our assumptions about the world — and then gently challenges them. Through characters, inner worlds, and lived experiences, we're offered intimate glimpses into people's traumas, upbringings, personalities, and choices. We begin to see not just what people do, but why.Candace shares how fiction has been one of her greatest teachers — a place where empathy is practiced, perspectives are softened, and understanding is expanded. While nonfiction has its own wisdom, fiction holds a unique magic: the ability to change how we see the world by helping us truly see each other.This episode is an invitation to reflect on the stories that have shaped you — the books that became part of you, the characters who cracked your heart open, and the ways reading may have quietly changed your world.Because sometimes, the most profound growth doesn't come from being told what to think…It comes from stepping into someone else's story and letting it change you.

Ungodly fear isolates us from God. Holy fear draws us to God. Which one drives you most?

The Book Worm's Story Snacks Take an unforgettable journey with the Book Worm to fix a glitching computer... from the inside! In this action-packed Story Snack, we shrink down to byte size and zap into a glowing, neon world hidden inside a computer motherboard. Guided by Pixel, a friendly data packet, we race through the Processor Palace, leap across flickering memory nodes, and ride surges of electricity like roller coasters — all to stop the system from crashing and “forgetting everything it learned.” Fast, funny, cinematic, and packed with STEM learning, A Byte-Sized Breakdown turns computer science into a thrilling adventure kids can hear, feel, and understand.

Have you noticed that at the moment, everyone is either trying to predict what is going to happen this year or holding strong nostalgia for the 90's or 2016? There's a reason for this -- remaining is the most profound spiritual work one can do -- and also the hardest. Recorded under a New Moon before the most powerful Solar Storm we've had in over 20 years (!), Ashley speaks about our habit of jumping into the future with worry, or back into the past through nostalgia, and how true peace lives only in the now. This episode is a replay from a recent satsang inside GUIDED, where Ashley talks about awakening as a messy, honest process. Awakening is not instant, sparkly perfection. It is opening, feeling, being triggered, and learning from what arises. She explores how we are moving into a time of feeling rather than thinking, and how awakening is happening both personally and collectively. Ashley also shares how knitting has become a spiritual practice for her. A way to slow down, soften perfectionism, build patience, and remember joy through simple, imperfect creation. This episode is an invitation to stay. To feel. To be where you are. * * * * * * * * * * * *  The GUIDED Membership: Everyday Support for Your Awakening — workshops, live satsang, tools and community all in one place.

Luxury home design is no longer defined by finishes and floor plans alone. High-end homeowners are asking their homes to support performance and wellness. Brad Robinson, president of Bradford Custom Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of luxury home design and the trends shaping today's high-end market. Redefining Luxury: Wellness-Driven Design Robinson said, “The way I see luxury evolving is how your home makes you feel, how it helps you perform, how your home creates a sense of rejuvenation and prepares you to go back into the world and perform at your peak.” Many of Bradford's clients are high performers in their professional lives and have already optimized other aspects of their day-to-day routines. As a result, these homeowners are now asking more from their built environments. To meet those expectations, Bradford Custom Homes developed the Bradford Elemental System, a wellness-driven design framework that focuses on three foundational components: air, water and light. Each element is intentionally integrated into the design and construction process to improve comfort, health and overall performance within the home. Unlike traditional construction models, Bradford does not simply execute a completed set of plans. Instead, the company takes a leadership role early in the process, ensuring wellness goals are carried through every phase of design and construction. “We serve as expert representatives for owners and connect them through the correct architecture or the architects, the designers, the interior designers and the right engineers that know how to bring these systems together,” said Robinson. “We serve as that central conduit to help ensure that vision is really aligned and brought to life.” By prioritizing wellness at the systems level—not just through surface-level amenities—Bradford is redefining what luxury living means in today's custom home market. Luxury Home Design Trends Robinson highlights several design trends taking shape in the luxury home market: Sustainability: Homebuyers want more sustainable products incorporated into their homes that don't off-gas or affect the indoor air quality. Traditional design returns: Out-of-town buyers are choosing natural materials and “tried and true” design elements alongside more contemporary styles. Durability in the kitchen: Quartz and porcelain countertops are in style, thanks to their durability and hygiene. While these surfaces may not offer the same heat resistance as some materials, they provide a higher level of cleanliness. Homeowners are also looking for NSF-rated and 100% nonporous options for an added level of sanitation. Wellness-driven primary suites: From circadian lighting to enhanced ventilation, Robinson notes that his clients are choosing design elements that encourage recovery and recharge. Smart Home Integration Smart home technology continues to shape luxury living, but power resiliency is becoming a growing concern in Atlanta. To address this, Bradford installs EcoFlow systems and natural gas backup generators, ensuring critical systems like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and water filtration remain operational. “There are some amazing and cool features when it comes to pressing a button,” said Robinson. “But what happens when we have rolling brownouts? The AI data centers are going to get preference for power before the residents will.” Multigenerational Living & Flexibility Post-COVID-19 lifestyles have fueled demand for multigenerational living and aging-in-place designs. As families share space, there is a need for private living areas, whether as a main-level bedroom suite or accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Many families are also adding expansive outdoor spaces designed for communal and individual use, including pools, outdoor fitness spaces and even saunas. “People are making those meaningful investments in their home so they want to stay there,” said Robinson. “The average homeowner spends 18 hours a day in their house.” 2026: Year of Innovation Robinson said, “I’ve been working very hard and behind the scenes, I’ve created a private equity fund that’s going to give us the ability to dip our toes into some of the ultra-high-net-worth markets and some of those communities that we’ve aspired to build in.” Bradford has a new project set to appear in Atlanta Style & Design Magazine in March, which will showcase wellness-focused design, integrated technology and high-performance materials. The project utilizes insulated concrete forms (ICF) and HydroBlok wall assemblies to create fully waterproof, mold-resistant envelopes while maintaining high-performance interiors. Tune in to the full episode to learn how Bradford Custom Homes is setting a new standard for custom homes in Atlanta and beyond. Learn more at www.BradfordBuilds.com. About Bradford Custom Homes Bradford Custom Homes is a residential builder dedicated to creating thoughtfully designed homes that enhance the way people live.

Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.  Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.It's not a program you attend.It's a pathway you practice.A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.

The character of the conflict that erupted in 1914 defied the expectations of many political leaders and military analysts. Despite the mountains of books and articles published on World War I, there has been surprisingly little systematic or comparative research on how military commanders and politicians framed and interpreted the conflict—or, indeed, on how they understood war itself—and how that understanding shaped their decision-making. Wars are fought by organizations and people who have disparate visions of the world they live in and the conflict they are fighting. In Framing the First World War: How Divergent Views Shaped a Global Conflict (UP of Kansas, 2025), a team of leading scholars explore the gulf between imagined warfare and the realities of battle. By doing so, they investigate how the military forces that contested the First World War framed the conflict they were involved in and how those perspectives shaped and influenced the ways in which they sought to understand, conduct, and respond to the war. Guided by editors Dr. Michael P.M. Finch, Dr. Aimée Fox and Dr. David G. Morgan-Owen, the authors use the notion of “frames” and the concept of “framing” to enable us to engage directly with the complexity and diversity of the conflict, which was fought for different reasons and in different ways, incorporating a range of issues with implications for the conduct of the war. Improving our appreciation of how commanders saw the world around them and their views on the war they were conducting opens up valuable new approaches for understanding debates over the higher direction of the conflict and the civil-military relations that underpinned them. The contributors to Framing the First World War work towards a fuller historical appraisal of how military figures understood the war, moving beyond a purely military analysis to incorporate broader cultural and social topics, including education, medicine, politics, and law. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this special episode 50 of the Trust Psyche Podcast, Travis DiRuzza, PhD and Jessica DiRuzza, MFT dive into a two-hour, long-form conversation, inviting listeners into an intimate dialogue that originally unfolded as their own date night—an unedited, living exchange where relationship itself becomes the vessel for depth psychology, astrology, and the question of and quest for meaning-making.  Margaret Magnus's phonetic work lays the fertile ground for this conversation between letters and planets, and between material reality and the numinous realm. Guided by the archetypes of consonant sound—such as the beginnings of B, the power of P, and the virtue of V—this episode explores the Saturn–Neptune complex as it lives in psyche, culture, and cosmology. Topics include masculine and feminine dynamics, the patriarchy, social justice, neurodiversity, solar returns, Plato, and lived relational experience.

Marley guides me through a powerful Clear the Fear Method session, where a deeply rooted fear of failure surfaces and reveals how the subconscious mind can quietly keep us from manifesting what we desire most. We explore how limiting beliefs are often passed down through generations and how clearing them can create profound emotional, energetic, and physical shifts.This episode is especially meaningful if you are navigating fear around relationships, parenting, self worth, people pleasing, or using your voice. I share my real time experience as Marley explains how the subconscious prioritizes safety over desire and how visualization and somatic awareness can help release long held beliefs and regulate the nervous system.

Five years after her first appearance, Allison Walsh welcomes Elizabeth Tran back to the show to reflect on the evolution that changed everything — from navigating corporate uncertainty and imposter syndrome to building Digit-Eli, a successful website design and SEO business serving women entrepreneurs.Elizabeth shares the defining moments that shaped her growth, including being laid off, betting on herself, hiring her first assistant, raising her rates, and learning to separate confidence from external validation. Guided by Allison, her longtime mentor who believed in her potential long before Elizabeth fully believed in herself, the conversation explores how mentorship, alignment, and self-trust accelerated her path forward.The discussion highlights the power of personal branding, why confidence is built through action rather than perfection, and how a well-crafted website can reflect achievements many women forget to celebrate. Whether you're growing a side hustle, scaling a service-based business, or learning to charge your worth, this conversation reinforces that belief is often the first — and most powerful — business decision you'll ever make.Connect with Elizabeth Tran:Instagram: digit.eliWebsite: digit-eli.com

Anxiety grows when we lose control and forget the context of our life. We lose context; we forget we're in a universe. In fact, a friend of mine was telling me yesterday that he had kind of a trans-rational experience once on a dark-moon night when he was standing on the seashore. There was no light pollution whatsoever. He turned off his car lights and stepped out onto the beach. The stars were so pronounced that he felt himself separate from his body and felt the power of the universe. Of course, we're in a universe which is practically inexplicable, and there are various powers and forces that are working on us all the time. But we can forget that. In various contexts, we may just think, "I am a worker bee," "I'm a little cat," or "I'm a dog," and we care about our territory on the block. In human life, we can also develop such limited perspectives, and then we get anxious about it. But when we widen our perspective and think about who we are in the context of the greater universe, we can come to a sort of equanimity through which anxiety reduces. Equanimity lets you care without being shaken. You can still care—you still have empathy—but you're actually more useful because you don't become overwhelmed by various circumstances, because your perspective is so deep. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken guides listeners through a short, gentle nervous system practice designed to build emotional safety and regulation in the body. This episode is not a teaching conversation. It is a guided experience. If you feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or constantly "on," this practice is designed to help your nervous system step out of survival and into safety. Rather than forcing calm or positive thinking, this exercise focuses on breath, orientation, and gentle body awareness to help the nervous system recognize the present moment and begin restoring emotional access. This episode can be used daily, revisited when emotions feel overwhelming, or shared with someone who needs a simple place to start. It is especially helpful for those who do not yet have access to guided emotional healing work like Splankna but want to begin teaching their body that it is safe.
