As believers, we are given a firm foundation in Christ.  We are forgiven, justified, sanctified, redeemed, accepted, and valued.  Shame prevents us from living in the daily reality of these spiritual blessings in Christ.  We don't feel worthy.  We can believe the blessings are for others but not for us.  Shame distorts our interpretation of reality.  Without trusting what is true or standing on the firm foundation given to us, we cannot mature as believers.  We remain stuck in the lies of shame and assume we are ineligible.   Bruce McNicol, founder and former president of Trueface ministry joins me again this week on the podcast.  He speaks to the importance of a healthy and grace-based faith community for our spiritual growth.  Bruce says that the Holy Spirit is a great teacher and networker who will bring relational opportunities for us to be encouraged in our maturing process.  Bruce's words are full of hope and practical wisdom for our everyday lives.

Hope doesn't come after pain—it rises within our pain. As we continue our journey through Luke's gospel in week two of our "Hope Rising" series, we encounter Jesus preparing his followers for difficult times ahead. While they admired the magnificent temple in Jerusalem—its stunning white limestone and gold accents symbolizing permanence and divine presence—Jesus delivers a shocking prophecy: "Not one stone will be left on top of another."Unlike leaders who offer shallow platitudes, Jesus doesn't sugarcoat reality. He warns of persecution, betrayal, global conflict, natural disasters, and cosmic upheaval. Yet within this sobering forecast, he plants seeds of profound hope: "This will be your opportunity to tell them about me." The very moments of greatest challenge become platforms for powerful testimony.Most striking is Jesus's paradoxical promise: "Not a hair on your head will perish." Given that many disciples would face martyrdom, this wasn't about physical safety. Rather, Jesus reveals a deeper truth—what truly matters cannot be destroyed by worldly powers. Our essential being remains secure in Christ even when everything around us crumbles.The passage culminates with Jesus's instruction that when chaos reaches its peak, his followers should "stand and look up, for your salvation is near." This invitation challenges us to examine where we've anchored our hope. Have we built our security on temples that can fall—career achievements, financial stability, perfect health, ideal relationships? When these foundations tremble, we discover what truly sustains us.As Dr. Henry Cloud wisely distinguishes, "A wish is hope without evidence, but hope, real hope, is based on evidence." Our Christian hope isn't groundless optimism but is anchored in the historical reality of Jesus's resurrection. The empty tomb remains the ultimate evidence that suffering doesn't have the final word. This is why, even in our darkest moments, hope can still rise.What does it look like for hope to rise anew in your life today?

This series is dedicated to parents who feel tired, confused, or frustrated - because let's be honest, parenting isn't just hard; sometimes, it feels impossible. In this episode, we dive into the challenges of parenting today and explore the tension between two popular approaches: gentle parenting and tough love parenting. John, Lynn and Austin discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each and introduce a balanced framework - love and limits - that can help parents find a more effective and sustainable way to raise their children. Whether you're a parent or someone who interacts with kids in any capacity, there's something in this episode for you! Here's what we cover: Understanding the extremes: Gentle Parenting: Focuses on emotional attunement, empathy, and attachment but can sometimes lack necessary boundaries. Tough Love Parenting: Emphasizes structure, discipline, and authority but can sometimes be overly rigid and emotionally distant. A Better Way – Love and Limits: Parenting is about balancing emotional connection and boundaries. Parenting the way God parents us means we are offering love while providing guidance. Structure without relationship leads to rebellion, and unchecked emotions can create chaos. Practical Parenting Takeaways: Reflect on whether your parenting leans too heavily on love or limits and make adjustments, tailoring your approach to each child's unique needs. If you default to tough love, ask for feedback from your kids, acknowledge any past mistakes, and be willing to apologize. If you lean towards gentle parenting, start setting and enforcing boundaries - even if your child protests at first. Be prepared for the extinction burst - behavior may initially escalate when limits are introduced but will stabilize over time. The truth is that parenting is challenging, but the good news is that you're not alone! God sees and cares about where you are in your parenting journey, and he is with you in the weeds of parenting.

n this episode Dr. Henry Cloud explores the mindset shift needed to navigate life's inevitable challenges. Beginning with the biblical principle that "in this world you have tribulation," Dr. Cloud examines how accepting reality—rather than fighting against it—makes us more resilient when facing difficulties. The show also includes conversations with callers facing significant life transitions. Vanessa grapples with leaving a teaching job she once thought would be her forever career after contract disagreements. Rita discusses forgiveness. Having forgiven her brother's murderer she is now  struggling to forgive friends for a seemingly smaller offense. They rejected her relationship with her husband due to small religious differences. Dr. Cloud provides practical guidance on building support systems beyond workplace relationships, addressing broken trust, and understanding the distinction between forgiveness and healing. Listeners will learn ways to face difficult realities, build meaningful connections, and move forward after disappointment. You deserve relationships that lift you up, not wear you down. If you're feeling exhausted by toxic people or unsure how to handle difficult behaviors, Dr. Henry Cloud is here to help.

In the final episode of our Surviving and Thriving After Trauma series, hosts Lynn Roush, LPC, John Tinnin, MDiv, MFT and Austin Conner, MDiv, PLPC reflect on the key takeaways from the series and answer listener-submitted questions about trauma, healing, and resilience. This series was dedicated to helping you define trauma, understand its impacts, and begin the journey toward healing. Not only have we learned from the many trauma survivors we've interviewed, we have also come to see the powerful presence of Jesus in the face of suffering.  These are the listener questions we tackle in this episode:  Are some traumas worse than others?  What should you say (or not say) to someone who has experienced trauma? What skills do I need to work through trauma in my life and help others?  How do I know when I've healed from trauma?  The key takeaways we want you to remember are: Trauma impacts every aspect of your being—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Healing is a journey, not a one-time event. You may never feel "fully healed," but you can experience post-traumatic growth and resilience. The presence of a safe, understanding person can be one of the most powerful tools in trauma recovery. Scripture provides deep comfort, but timing and approach matter when offering biblical encouragement. Healing includes recognizing the reality of trauma, holding responsible parties accountable, and embracing God's sustaining grace.

In this episode of The Dr. Cloud Show, Dr. Henry Cloud explores the powerful impact of negative thought patterns and how they affect our mental health. Drawing from clinical experience, he addresses how automatic negative thoughts can function like "someone walking behind you banging you on the head with a stick" - a metaphor that captures how self-criticism operates in our minds. This episode features practical techniques for identifying and redirecting these thought patterns, from tracking negative thoughts to understanding their origins in past relationships and unresolved trauma.   The call-in segment showcases individuals navigating challenging life situations - from chronic illness and family relocation conflicts to narcissistic relationship patterns and relationship recovery after infidelity. Throughout these conversations, Dr. Cloud provides actionable insights on setting boundaries, seeking appropriate therapeutic support, and celebrating relationship victories even after significant struggles. His approach emphasizes both personal accountability and the healing power of healthy connections.   Relationships shouldn't leave you feeling anxious or exhausted.

Why Is Transition Rule #1 - Don't Do It Alone? When talking about the transition, why did we make Transition Rule #1 -Don't Do It Alone?  At Cameron-Brooks, we've spent nearly 50 years helping Junior Military Officers (JMOs) make this transition successfully. A lot has changed in 50 years, and there is one thing for certain: There is so much information out there. There are a lot of resources and people out there who want to help you. We've developed 6 Rules for the JMO Military to Business Transition to help break through the vast amounts of information and organize it for you. These rules provide a framework and a structure to help you gather information, plan, prepare and help educate you on your options outside of the military. In this episode, we're joined by Tim Kirchner, who has spent 20+ years in the recruiting Industry. He's a key team member and leader at Cameron-Brooks. What is unique about Tim is that he's seen both sides. He's been at Cameron-Brooks for the last six years and has helped thousands of JMO's learn about their options and helped communicate how companies view and understand them. He's spent the majority of his professional career communicating with Hiring Managers and helping them find, build, and retain talent. Tim was the main driver behind organizing these rules. He's a wonderful teammate and leader, and we value that he's seen a lot, and he brings a fresh perspective and a “different frame” of viewing things. In this episode, we dove into the crucial first step: finding the right guide. We discuss key insights, practical strategies, and the value of a guide in the transition to help you build a plan, develop a strategy, and start building the foundation for your transition. We start with Transition Rule #1: Don't Do It Alone. In other words, Find Your Guide. Why Should You Find a Guide? It will highly increase your chances of being successful in the transition, based on how you define success. When starting something new, the most important thing to do is gather information and get educated on that topic. So naturally, how do we do that? We find information and people who know things that we don't. We learn from people who have gone before us and from people who have experience. What to Look for when You Find a Guide? The first thing that's important when you find a guide is choosing one that you trust. With trust comes open, candid communication, that goes both ways. For the JMO, it's about communicating what's important to you and thinking about your objectives in the transition. For the guide, it's about listening and being honest about the realistic nature of achieving those goals based upon the proposed strategy. We discussed the importance of trust, which stems from the book Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud. The five components of trust: 1. Does the guide understand what is important to you? 2. Does the guide have the expertise? 3. Does the guide have the Integrity and Character to do what they say they are going to do? 4. Does the guide have transparency in their motive to help you? 5. Does the guide have a clear track record? Transformation over Transaction Joel left us with some closing thoughts. Our mission at Cameron-Brooks is about transformation, not transaction. We don't just place JMOs in front of Hiring Managers and Decision Makers for open developmental positions. It goes further than that. We strive to be Counterculture to help JMOs grow, reflect, and step into the next phase of their careers with confidence. We strive to provide confidence in your choice to find a guide.

Dr. Cloud presents practical strategies for regaining control through intentional activities rather than passive consumption. The episode includes call-in segments where Dr. Cloud addresses relationship trust issues, catastrophic thinking patterns, and navigating complex family dynamics.   You deserve relationships that lift you up, not wear you down.

In this episode of The Dr. Cloud Show, psychologist Henry Cloud explores the delicate balance of addressing relationship problems while preserving emotional connection. He examines how to separate behaviors from personal worth, and ways to provide feedback without damaging self-esteem or injecting contempt into important relationships. Dr. Cloud walks through practical applications with callers facing common challenges: a wife seeking family stability while her husband changes jobs frequently, an individual rebuilding career direction after marital separation, and adult children concerned about a parent's pattern of physical altercations. Each situation illustrates effective boundary-setting, conflict resolution, and communication techniques that maintain respect while confronting difficult truths. Dr. Cloud emphasizes that healthy relationships require both honesty and compassion—showing how marriage counseling, family therapy principles, and workplace communication strategies all benefit from addressing problems through a lens of acceptance rather than rejection. His approach offers practical tools for parents, couples, and professionals to evaluate behaviors constructively while affirming the inherent value of the people involved.    

Este podcast es sobre algo que para mi es clave en el ejercicio del liderazgo y de cualquier emprendedor que quiera brindar un servicio o producto extraordinario en este mundo: pedir feedback, preguntarle a quienes nos rodean qué creen que estamos haciendo bien y qué creen que deberíamos mejorar. ¿Hay que pedirle feedback a todos? ¿Cómo hacerlo de la mejor manera? Estos fueron los principales temas del episodio: 01:13- Ejemplo del escalador 01:55- Algunos consejos para dar feedback 03:25- Consejos para recibir feedback05:40- Criterios a tener en cuenta para dar feedback06:59- Conclusiones finalesAbrazá un propósito. ¡Desafía al mundo e inspirá a otros!Recordá que si querés enviarnos tus preguntas, consultas o sugerencias podés hacerlo a podcast@emprendeconproposito.com.arTambién podés seguirnos en las otras redes:Web: emprendeconproposito.com.ar IG: @sebasosaemprende YT: Emprende con propósito Te dejo algunas ideas principales el podcast por si querés guardarte un resumen: “El feedback es el desayuno de los campeones”, como dice Ken Blanchard. Pero muchas veces el feedback es difícil de dar y difícil de recibir. Es algo que buscos practicar con Dotti y que creo que quienes trabajan a nuestro lado sienten y notan que somos de pedir feedback. ¿Alguna vez te preguntaste cómo uno sabe cómo mejorar? ¿Qué tiene que mejorar? Esta es una de las respuestas: el feedback.Una investigación de The Psychology of Optimal Experience 1990 señala que el mejor feedback es el que se da inmediato. En el libro de Henry cloud, “The power of the others” hay un capítulo que habla de este tema. En ese capítulo el autor termina por deducir que el cerebro necesita saber cómo le está yendo para adaptarse y hacerlo mejor. Algunos tips para pedir feedback: No esperar ver a alguien fracasar dar una opinión, hacerlo en el momento, mientras el emprendedor todavía puede adaptarse. Para que el feedback sea útil, tiene que ser bueno. Esa persona que te da el feedback, tiene que ser tu aliada y sobre todo debe querer que te vaya bien. Para lograr que nos den feedback hay que ser VULNERABLE, sino la gente tampoco quiere darnos su opinión. Si te hablan y no escuchás, en algún momento van a dejar de hacerlo. ¿Cómo deben ser las personas a las que les pedimos feedback? Tienen que preocuparse por nosotros, tienen que ser  honestas y tienen que tener ganas de que nosotros solucionemos nuestros problemas. No deben ser hirientes en la forma en la que dan esa devolución. Como recibidores de ese feedback, debemos estar abiertos y entrenados, escuchar y asimilar lo que nos dicen para desarrollar el autocontrol que conduce a un gran crecimiento. “No podemos cambiar lo que no sabemos que necesitamos cambiar”. Según Henry Cloud, cuando recibimos feedback una dosis de adrenalina inunda nuestro cerebro, produciendo ansiedad y literalmente nos quedamos en blanco. Siempre que estamos en modo de lucha o huida, no podemos absorber comentarios y mejorar nuestro autocontrol y aprendizaje. Para aprender y crecer, tenemos que aceptar los comentarios. El cerebro necesita mucho amor, seguridad y buenos sentimientos para poder manejar las entradas negativas y usarlas. Es importante recordar esto cuando estás recibiendo comentarios, pero también es fundamental si sos vos quien los da. #feedback #devolucion #equipo #trabajoenequipo #aliados #emprenderacompañado #emprenderenequipo #elpoderdelotro #henrycloud

The discussion covers how consistent small steps contribute to progress when dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and health concerns.

Throughout these conversations, he outlines a framework for measuring progress, maintaining motivation, and finding peace when life takes unexpected turns.

Henry dice que las personas que buscan alcanzar las metas tienen un “éxito” mucho mayor si están conectadas a un sistema de apoyo humano.Yo creo que todos necesitamos personas cercanas que nos apoyen para crecer y mejorar y también existen esas personas que te hacen sentir incómodo, con las cuales la comunicación se vuelve complicada. Henry habla de 4 esquinas de conexión: Desconexión: Sucede cuando el líder es exigente y de alto rendimiento, pero las personas no sienten que sus contribuciones sean valoradas o que realmente se preocupen por ellas. Puede generar buenos resultados comerciales, pero suelen ser de corta duración, y luego la falta de relaciones profundas y positivas y una cultura solidaria comienza a erosionar la confianza y la buena voluntad. ¿Cuántas veces escuchamos decir que la cima es solitaria? Mala conexión: Nadie busca voluntariamente una mala conexión, pero muchas veces sucede. El liderazgo, la energía, el bienestar, enfoque y pasión se desvían y disminuyen. Empiezas a jugar a la defensiva. Te puede llegar a producir ansiedad, miedo, culpa, vergüenza y sentimientos de inferioridad. Te tomás el fracaso como algo personal. Cualquier evento o resultado negativo se convierte en prueba de que no eres lo suficientemente bueno. La  confianza se desvanece.Falsa conexión: Son esas relaciones de cartón, en las que hacés de cuenta que te importa el otro, pero en el fondo sabés que es no tanto. Al principio capaz que te hacen sentir bien, pero con el tiempo te dejan vacío.Conexión real: Esas relaciones donde podés ser vos mismo. Donde sabés que le importás al otro y vos también te preocupás por él. Te sentís seguro, tranquilo, y salís con las pilas recargadas. Te ayudan a crecer, a ser mejor persona. Es como tener un equipo de apoyo. Estas relaciones te ayudan a enfrentar tus problemas. Te muestran lo bueno y lo malo. Creo que es clave para desarrollarnos y crecer, que busquemos conexiones auténticas que nos permitan ser nosotros mismos. El poder de los otros puede ser transformador. Elijamos sabiamente con quién conectamos y cómo lo hacemos.#otros #entorno #amigos #familia #equipo #emprenderacompañado #equipo #emprenderenequipo #elpoderdelotro #henrycloud

In this first episode of the new year, Dr. Cloud explores the architecture of personal resilience, using the metaphor of building a house to explain how people can strengthen their ability to cope with life's challenges.

Shā Sparks' midlife transformation was about breaking free—from toxic relationships, self-doubt, and the need for closure. After years in an abusive relationship, she realized she didn't need answers or closure to heal—she just needed to walk away. Letting go of the “why” allowed her to move forward and build a life rooted in self-worth rather than past wounds. A big part of that journey was changing her self-talk—shifting from harsh self-judgment to a more compassionate view. Now, in her 40s, she's thriving. Her story is a reminder that healing isn't about understanding the past—it's about reclaiming your future.Guest Bio As the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International, Shā hosts her signature podcast, The Shā Sparks Show and is co-host of UnderWired podcast. She is also a Master Practitioner of NLP, Hypnosis, Reiki, Mental and Emotional Release, a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Trainer, the author of How to Get Your Voice Back, and the Co-Founder of the FIRESTARTERS Project.Turning 40 and Finding Peace Without AnswersAt 16, Shā Sparks found herself at rock bottom—arrested for a DUI and facing the reality of a life shaped by addiction, abuse, and deep emotional wounds.

Join Lisa and Laura as they kick off the new year with a brand new four-part series: Feminine Genius. There are four components in the feminine genius: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God, Lisa and Laura will unpack one of these components. This is week two, and it's all about sensitivity! Do you struggle with being too sensitive? What if we told you that women who are sensitive to the inner workings of their hearts are likely to be sensitive to the hearts of other people? Sensitivity is not a flaw, it is a gift. So go on and grab your coffee, and settle in, as we unwrap the gift of our sensitive hearts! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Galatians 6:2–5: Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. (NIV) Open your Bible to Scriptures referenced in this episode. Luke 10:41: The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.” Matthew 11:28: Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Psalm 22: The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. (Douay-Rheims) Romans 12:15: Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (NIV) 1 Peter 3:8: Finally, all of you, be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble. Galatians 5:22–23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. Colossians 3:12: Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (NIV) Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Is there a load I am carrying for a loved one that I need to lay down? If so, write it down.  Write down Colossians 3:12 and look at the qualities: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Ask which of these qualities am I short on supply? (If you are brave and open to receiving the answer without being defensive, ask a spouse or close friend.) Ask God to increase this quality/virtue in you. Our presenting sponsor is Hallow.

Boundaries can be physical… like fences, or gates at the top or bottom of stairs to keep toddlers and pets from going up or down. Boundaries can also be emotional and are established by using communication skills. Physical and emotional boundaries are often used to keep us safe. Emotional boundaries are essential in healthy relationships. Yet many people are reluctant to set boundaries with others. It's difficult, it can be scary and it puts one in a vulnerable position. However, learning to set boundaries is a must in healthy adult relationships and to improve our sense of personal power. Listen in and learn to set boundaries in life, especially with food pushers!Resources:BariAfterare: www.bariaftercare.comConnie Stapleton PhD website: www.conniestapletonphd.comBariAftercare website: https://www.conniestapletonphd.com/bariaftercareBariAftercare Facebook page (for members only): https://www.facebook.com/groups/BariAftercareKevin Stephens: Your Bariatric Buddy   https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbariatricbuddy/peopleInstagram: @cale101 (Caleshia Haynes)Instagram: @therealbariboss (Tabitha Johnson)Instagram @drsusanmitchell (Dr. Susan Mitchell)Instagram: @lauraleepreston (Laura Preston)ProCare Vitamins (10% off with code ConnieStapleton)Dr. Susan Mitchell:https://www.facebook.com/DrSusanMitchellhttps://www.facebook.com/bariatricsurgerystrategiesBoundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend https://www.drcloud.com/books/boundariesThe Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free by Melissa Urban https://www.melissau.com/boundaries-book/Please subscribe to the show and rate it on Apple Podcasts, download free information at www.conniestapletonphd.com, and follow me on Twitter (@cstapletonphd), Instagram (@cstapletonphd), YouTube, LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy invites us to explore the transformative power of belief and the role it plays in achieving our goals. Kris challenges us to rethink the foundational beliefs that shape our actions. She unpacks why we often struggle to achieve what we genuinely want and explains how shifting our mindset can open doors to growth and fulfillment. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Henry Cloud's book Necessary Endings, Kris examines the art of letting go. She likens this to pruning a rose bush, where cutting back is necessary to allow the healthiest growth and new possibilities to emerge. This serves as a reminder that releasing what no longer serves us can create space for new possibilities. Kris also expands on the idea of ‘purging,' encouraging leaders to apply this principle across their lives and businesses. Whether it's clients, vendors, technology tools, relationships, or team members, she emphasizes the importance of evaluating what aligns with our purpose and letting go of what doesn't. “All that fear that you had that it would be terrible, fueled you keeping someone in your business. When the truth is, releasing them is going to create so much space and freedom for them, too,” Kris reminds us. This episode is a call to action for leaders who are ready to eliminate the elements holding them back and to invest their energy into what truly matters. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs, release what's no longer serving you, and step into a new version of yourself? Tune in and discover how these practices can revolutionize your life and leadership journey. Key Takeaways From This Episode Importance of Self-Understanding in Achieving Success Evaluating Personal and Professional Relationships that No Longer Serve You Philosophies Around Pruning Business Operations Team Cuts for Growth: Evaluating team performance to ensure everyone contributes effectively.

I get to have deep conversations with people who have had great influence in the lives of so many people. Dr Henry Cloud became synonymous with the term boundaries after his groundbreaking book, Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life, and has influenced millions of people in doing just that, taking control of their lives. I was a mere 21 years old when Dr Cloud's Boundaries book published and wouldn't become aware of boundaries for another 21 years, and wouldn't truly implement them in my life till much later. Today, 33 years later, as I record this, the book is ranked #256. Incredible. I got the chance to sit down with him and Tom Ziglar a few years ago when Henry brought his focus and insight into leadership and influence. We began talking about boundaries, then got into leadership and influence. Influence is one of my favorite topics, as we all want influence. Without it, we can't help anyone. I think you'll get great insight from our discussion. You can find all Dr Cloud has to offer at his website, drcloud.com. And I don't know anyone who would not benefit from reading his book on Boundaries.

Here's the revised summary with the name corrected: Podcast Episode #138: "The Big Domino" Host: Damion Lupo In this episode of Financial Underdogs, Damion Lupo explores the concept of the "big domino"—the pivotal choice or action that sets off a chain reaction to transform your life. Reflecting on his own journey, Damion shares practical strategies to identify and leverage your big domino for a more intentional and impactful life. Key Takeaways: Identify Your Big Domino: Recognize the one decision or habit that can trigger profound change. For Damion, giving up alcohol in 2024 was the domino that set his transformation in motion. The Power of a Coach or Mentor: Invest in a world-class coach, mentor, or therapist who provides honest feedback and helps you see blind spots. This is a vital relationship for growth and clarity—potentially more significant than many others in your life. Clean Fuel, Clean Life: Prioritize clean eating and minimize harmful substances like alcohol and processed foods. What you consume impacts your energy, focus, and overall health. Leverage a World-Class Integrator: Hire an executive assistant or integrator to handle tasks and free up your mental energy for strategic thinking. Offloading tasks allows you to focus on vision and creativity rather than logistics. Set Boundaries to Protect Your Time and Energy: Create clear boundaries to guard against "vampires" who drain your time and energy. Value your time as your most prized possession and use it intentionally. Live by Design, Not Default: Be mindful of your choices and surroundings, consciously designing your life rather than reacting to others' agendas. Use tools, systems, and boundaries to stay focused on your goals and priorities. Damion closes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace simplicity and clarity in 2025. By identifying and focusing on your big domino, you can unlock a domino effect of positive changes.

Today on the pod, I'm talking with Dr. Henry Cloud—bestselling author, acclaimed leadership consultant, and a leading expert in the psychology of success and human performance.He's here to help you identify the habits, mindsets, and decisions that are keeping you stuck—and show you how to break free, so you can create a business that blesses your life, not becomes your life.Henry hits on challenges every advisor is familiar with—things like saying no to clients that aren't a good fit (regardless of how much revenue they drive), letting go of outdated strategies that no longer align with your goals, and building the confidence to step away from what's comfortable to create space for what's possible.One of the things Henry said that really stuck with me is this: "Today might be the enemy of your tomorrow." It's a powerful reminder that growth often means letting go of what worked in the past to make space for what will take you to the next level.3 of the biggest insights from Henry Cloud …#1.) Necessary Endings Propel Growth: Learn why letting go of what no longer serves you is a crucial step toward creating a better future—in both business and life.#2.)

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss how to keep the focus of the Christmas season on Jesus, as the birthday celebration it should be. “Keeping Christ in Christmas” has become almost a mantra in response to the ever-increasing consumerization of Christmas and how far we've seemed to drift from the historical event of Jesus's birth. And this has implications beyond how to tangibly keep Christ in Christmas. We also have to find ways to keep Christ in our giving and in our gatherings at Christmastime - the relationships that can make the holidays challenging for so many people and can take away from the joy this season is meant to hold. Episode Links There are a couple messages series that you may want to check out related to today's conversation. The first shares the title of today's episode, “Keeping Christ in Christmas.” It will help you take an even deeper dive into the various ways to keep Jesus as the focus of the Christmas season, with installments that look at: Keeping Christ in Your Celebrating, Keeping Christ in Your Relating and Keeping Christ in Your Giving. The installment on “relating” is particularly helpful if the holiday season brings more anxiety than joy. There was a book that he noted as well written by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend called Boundaries that would be a good one to read. Dr. White also touched on the significance of the season of Advent and all that can hold for our lives. For this, we'd encourage you to look at “The Advent Conspiracy.” When talking about the idea of giving being a key way to keep Christ in Christmas - particularly by beginning our gift-giving with Jesus - Dr. White mentioned an annual effort that was launched by Mecklenburg Community Church in 1994. You can read more about the “Giving to Christ at Christmas” effort in a recent blog that Dr. White wrote HERE. Finally, you heard Dr. White mention something called the Daily Headline News at Church & Culture - a collection of headlines from around the globe that are curated by Dr. White each weekday. The news stories shared here are to help give you a better picture of what's happening within our culture today, and how many of these cultural events impact the Church. For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog. We'd also love to hear from you if there is a topic that you'd like to see discussed on the Church & Culture Podcast in an upcoming episode.

The power of setting boundaries Dr. Henry Cloud, an author and leadership coach, is well known for his work on boundaries. Defining and communicating boundaries can make a huge difference in our professional and personal lives. Cloud's teachings remind us that we often “get what we tolerate,” so establishing boundaries that align with our strengths is key to fostering healthy, productive relationships. This week, I encourage you to identify an area where you could reinforce or set a new boundary. By leveraging your strengths, you can communicate these boundaries effectively and respectfully. Let's take these steps to boost both our productivity and well-being as we move forward!   To find out more about my work, please visit Dana Williams Consulting LinkedIn Instagram Email: hello@danawilliamsco.com Journal your way to a life with purpose.

Do you often feel angry, sad, frustrated, annoyed, drained, confused, or just…some kind of way when you interact with a certain friend or friends? Maybe you need to check your boundaries. Boundaries are the physical, mental, emotional, and other limits that protect our personal space and define how we interact with others. They help us feel safe as individuals in all areas of our lives. They help us protect the people and things that are important to us, including our finances, our time with family, our self care - the list goes on and on.    How do you know you need a boundary? I'll give you a hint. Pay attention to that icky or uncomfortable feeling you have after you interact with someone. Take note of the confusion you feel when you're together, then do something about it.    Join Ashley Cook, Associate Marriage Family Therapist (AMFT133670), and me for a talk about boundaries - what they are, why we need them, and how we establish them. Why? Because healthy boundaries are a huge part of maintaining healthy friendships and protecting personal peace.   Additional Resource: Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Stay Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life - by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend   Other Episodes Referenced in This Episode: 1.

Stephen M. R. Covey: Trust & Inspire Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former CEO of Covey Leadership Center. He led the strategy that propelled his father's book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine. He's the author The Speed of Trust and more recently Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others*. Despite everything we know about good leadership, a lot of places still operate in a command and control mindset. In this conversation, Stephen and I explore the key ways to shift from command and control to trust and inspire. Key Points In spite of all progress, most leaders today are still operating from a command and control mindset. The carrot and stick approach still dominates most organizational cultures and tactics. The biggest barrier to becoming a Trust & Inspire leader is when we think we already are one. People are whole people. The best leaders care for the body, heart, mind, and spirit. There is enough for everyone. Trust & Inspire leaders elevate caring above competition. Enduring influence is created from the inside out. The job of the leader is to go first. All people have greatness inside them. Trust & Inspire leaders work to unleash potential, not control it.

In today's episode, Lisa and Laura discuss Lesson 7 of Ordering Your Priorities, Priority 6: The World Outside. After we have given attention to God, our heart, our spouse, our kids, and our homes, we are left with all those other priorities: people and commitments. For some of us, prioritizing is easy, but for others, not so much. Do you struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or maintaining a healthy work-life rhythm? If so, there is a way to cultivate a heart and home saturated with the peace that comes from ordering your priorities.  Open your Heart to our key Scripture. 2 Corinthians 5:20: So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
