This week on the Being Herd Podcast we have two guests with us! Zoha Jung and Carina Maiwald. Zoha is the founder of The Backwater Sanctuary, a non-profit rehabilitation and rescue sanctuary based in Kabini, India. Zoha's drive and passion for equine / animal welfare is an inspiration. Her commitment to creating a safe space for animals to be who they are, and to ultimately thrive is a testament to her core values and belief in the possibility and magic of healing. She is also my cousin so I feel very grateful to have a member of my family on the pod!Carina is a multi award winning Equine Photographer, healer, and inspiration as well. To me she embodies truth, courage, intuition, and presence in one of the most profound ways I have seen to date. Her passion for sharing the truth of the horses she is photographing instills a sense of deep magic into the framework of her purpose. She is also passionate about capturing and sharing the beauty of the journey horses go through in their healing. Together Zoha and Carina are forces of nature. In this episode we hear them give their perspectives on what it is like to share the stories of equines who are healing to an audience who primarily values pleasing aesthetics. We also discuss equine sensitivity and the magical, synchronistic healing journey of Hector who Carina recently worked with at the Sanctuary.You can find Carina's incredible photographs and Zoha's powerful, informative words here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ /?hl=enWebsite: https://www.thebackwatersanctuary.com/Connect with Carina directly here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carinamaiwald/?hl=enWebsite: https://carinamaiwald.com/Thank you for listening!

Hardship is part of this life. It comes to those who know Christ and to those who do not. Difficulties do not favor one person over another, even though it may look like that sometimes. Because of Christ in us, we have the glorious opportunity to look at seasons of suffering through a different lens. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

“Happiness is often around an external event or external situation where joy is internal.” “You can't pour from an empty soul.” “You can choose how to show up.”   Episode summary | In this episode of ROG, Shannon Cassidy speaks with Linda Shively, a neuroscience and mindset coach, about the importance of joy, resilience, and generosity. Linda shares her personal journey of overcoming adversity, including escaping an abusive marriage and dealing with her daughter's health challenges. She introduces the concept of 'joy-stealing dragons' that hinder personal happiness and offers strategies to tame them. The conversation also explores the significance of laughter yoga, the difference between joy and happiness, and the importance of self-generosity. Linda emphasizes the power of gratitude and small joys in cultivating a fulfilling life.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Joy-stealing dragons can hinder personal happiness. Laughter yoga promotes intentional joy and connection. Joy is an internal state, while happiness is often external. Generosity can manifest in many forms beyond money. Self-care is essential for personal well-being. Traveling provides perspective and joy. Unexpected connections can lead to profound mentorship. Being present is crucial for mental well-being. Gratitude can spark joy even in difficult times.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Joy and Resilience 02:17 Linda's Journey: Overcoming Adversity 05:30 The Joy Stealing Dragons 08:30 Taming Your Inner Dragons 12:13 The Power of Storytelling 14:18 Understanding Joy vs. Happiness 15:32 The Essence of Generosity 16:36 Self-Generosity and Personal Care 17:06 Filling the Soul: Nourishment and Joy 17:40 Travel as a Soul-Filling Experience 18:36 Unexpected Connections: Mentorship and Friendship 20:22 The Power of Presence in Communication 24:04 Rapid Fire Insights on Joy and Mindfulness   Guest Bio | Linda Shively has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and is a best-selling author, international award-winning speaker, and neuroscience and mindset expert.

Today she helps successful women defeat the dragons in their life and elevate their joy to new levels. Linda has studied brain and mind function for over 30 years, earning a psychobiology degree from UCLA, is a certified Master Life and Executive Coach, a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), a Master Hypnotherapist, and a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader.    Guest Resources:  Quiz to identify one of your biggest Joy-Stealing Dragons and what to do about it: https://JoyStealingDragons.com Meditation to get you grounded, present, and focused: https://MyPeacefulMeditation.com My book Getting to Joy to get practical tips to find your way back to joy:  https://GettingToJoy.com/gift https://LindaShively.com   Bridge Between Resources: 5 Degree Change Course Free N.D.I.

One of the organisations vetting KiwiSaver hardship withdrawals has said applications to dip into the retirement fund have more than doubled in the past two years. This comes as some fund managers have expressed concern about social media "how to guides" advising people to go into more debt or fudge their financials so they can crack open the retirement piggy bank early. Inland revenue figures show that in April 2025 hardship withdrawals were up $300 million on the year before. Public Trusts acts as a supervisor for various KiwiSaver schemes and decides which hardship withdrawals are signed off. General Manager of Corporate Trustee Services David Callanan spoke to Lisa Owen.

When hardship strikes, it feels like everything unravels—our plans, our peace, even our confidence in what God promised. But this is exactly when His Word matters most. In times of crisis, we don't cling to what we feel—we cling to what He has said.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (ESV)This verse isn't a cliché—it's a cornerstone. Paul didn't write it from a place of comfort. He wrote it as someone who had been beaten, imprisoned, shipwrecked, betrayed, and misunderstood. And yet, his conviction remained unshaken: God works all things—even suffering—for good.That doesn't mean everything feels good. It doesn't mean every moment is easy. But it means nothing is wasted.Your hardship might feel random, but it's not. Your pain may seem senseless, but in God's hands, it has purpose. He redeems what looks ruined. He transforms what feels hopeless. He rewrites stories with endings we never saw coming.When God makes a promise, He's not speaking from your perspective—He's speaking from eternity. He sees the full picture. He knows how this chapter connects to the next. And even in your deepest sorrow, His Word stands firm.This is why we need His promises hidden in our hearts before the storm hits. Because in the middle of the storm, emotions scream—but truth sustains.If you're in hardship today, don't just survive it. Anchor yourself in what God has said.Question of the Day:What promise from God do you need to hold onto right now—despite what you're feeling?Mini Call to Action:Write down Romans 8:28 on a card or in your phone. Every time discouragement rises, read it aloud. Let God's Word reshape your focus.Let's Pray:Lord, thank You that nothing in my life is wasted. Even in hardship, You are working. Help me to trust Your promises when I can't see the outcome. Remind me that You are faithful. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!When the pain is loud, let the promises of God be louder.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

In Episode 279 of the Antler Up Podcast, I'm joined by Greg Godfrey — veteran, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Tethrd — for a conversation that dives deep into the intersection of grit, personal growth, and building something that matters. Greg shares how his time in the military taught him the resilience and adaptability that would later become vital in both hunting and business. From bonding over turkey hunts with family to taking risks in entrepreneurship, Greg's journey is a powerful reminder that the path to success is never linear — it's earned through perseverance, planning, and staying grounded in your core values. We also talk about the power of mentorship, the importance of self-awareness, and why creating meaningful experiences for others should be at the heart of everything you build. Greg unpacks what grit really means — not just enduring, but deciding and executing with intention. Whether it's in the field or in business, success often comes down to choosing your team wisely, embracing challenges, and remembering that people always come before profit.

That's when he met Tony Reno. He said about the meeting, “Not many things materially affect my trajectory. But this time was different. What was different? Coach Reno.” The goal of the program: “Leave the jersey better than you found it.”  The team creed, a pledge written by players on Team 142 (the 2014 squad), as they do at the start of every practice: “I vow to believe in the process, I am mentally and physically tough, I compete with passion and overcome any challenges. I stand tall alongside my family at all times, I challenge my brother, believe in him, hold him accountable. As I create my own path I always put team before myself, I strive for excellence on and off the field, I hold myself to a higher standard. I am a Yale football player.” Standards - Every player must recite the creed. The younger players are coached by the older players. The brick tradition - At each practice, one player presents his brick, then adds it to the others in the tunnel-- a visual reminder of the team's solidarity. Reno instituted the tradition to build camaraderie through candid reflection. Hero, Hometown, Hardship, Highlight. Someone who has impacted you. One word for the season. His players went to bat for him. On December 28, Casey Gerald '09, a cornerback, and 63 other former players sent a letter endorsing Coach Reno's candidacy to athletic director Tom Beckett, and later to president Richard Levin and provost Peter Salovey. 12 days later, he earned the job. Gettysburg Retreat: Yale's football team takes an annual retreat to Gettysburg with McChrystal to focus on leadership, bonding, and team culture. Presidential Leadership - Lead people, but don't do it for them. When his players host recruits, they will tell Coach Reno if their character aligns with being a Yale football player.  Coach Reno names a player of the day for each practice. The one who lives out their values and the Yale football player creed. Life/Career advice - Help you become the best version of yourself in all you do. Make you an elite leader. Maximize you as a football player. Help you find your passion.

Welcome to my 6/6 energy portal episode for the day of 06/06/2025. This is one of the most alchemical and karmic days of the year — a divine opportunity to dissolve hardship, release ancestral burdens, and shift from effort into ease.----------

When you've been hurt, what kind of character will you be? God gives you hardship as a Storyteller does: because readers love what happens when a character is down but finds a way to get back up; Remember that it's in the cellars of affliction that God makes his choicest wines (Rutherford); Be at once tender and merciless with your own victimhood; Stop assuming nobody else at church has the dark backstory of trauma and abuse that you do. Take heart from Grandpa Jim, who used to "get chose" to fight the bullies every day after school. What kind of wine will you be?

Warned by the Holy Spirit, Paul speaks to the people and prepares them for his departure. (Lectionary #298) June 3, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

With two more guards injured on the Indiana Fever, Zena, Ben, and Sabreena discuss the intricacies of hardship contracts and roster spots – and what the near-future might look like for the Fever. Plus, they get into the latest rendition of the Sabreena Scale. Then, one of the greatest of all time, Candace Parker, joins the crew to discuss her new memoir and dig into topics affecting the WNBA today – like how to cultivate diverse coaching staffs and how the media can break away from “gentle commentating.” And to help us kick off Pride Month, Candace shares her journey to self-acceptance and embracing her sexuality. _________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:WNBA power rankings: Are the New York Liberty destined to repeat? by Sabreena MerchantWhy Brittney Griner has been ‘rejuvenated' since joining Atlanta Dream by Ben Pickman_________________Get in touch!

This week Jon talks about a fun little narrative in John 6 where the disciples forgot to wait for Jesus and then got stuck in a storm.  While there fear and discouragement seems to have been the choice of the disciples, we find Jesus pursuing them and meeting their needs in the midst of the storm. As always, if you wish to discuss this further, feel free to shoot Jon an email at jon@christianoutdoors.org.

Send us a text! It used to be that went sent our boys into groups like the Boy Scouts of America to train for manhood. But as those organizations have drifted left, we lack male spaces for discipleship and formation for young men. At St. Brendan's Academy and Refuge Church, we're trying to forge a new path forward. Recently, pastor Ethan Senn and Tate Taylor took some of the young men from Refuge Church on a field training exercise in the high Uintas of Utah. During their time in the mountains, the boys learned land navigation, fire building, firearms handling, and various other survival skills. It's all part of the Titus 2 program, which aims to train boys in hard skills and mental fortitude in preparation for manhood. 2025 New Christendom Press Conference: https://www.newchristendompress.com/2025Sign up for the NCP Games:https://beregenerated.com/games/Fuel your training with Mt.

Rose Blumkin didn't just build a business. She revolutionized retail. After fleeing Russia with $66 in her purse, she opened a basement furniture store in Omaha at 43 years old—with no English, no education, and no connections. Her formula? Sell cheap, tell the truth, don't cheat the customer. Nebraska Furniture Mart would survive depressions, fires, lawsuits, tornadoes—and eventually become a billion-dollar empire Warren Buffett called “the ideal business.”  Learn how Mrs. B's relentless focus, radical simplicity, and unbreakable work ethic built an empire from scratch—and what her story teaches us about business, resilience, and the power of earned trust. This episode is for informational purposes only and most of the research came from "Women of Berkshire Hathaway" and oral history interviews with Rose Blumkin and her daughter Frances.
