George Washington is perhaps the most familiar figure in American history. But most people really only know the image of him they see in marble statues and patriotic paintings. Behind those symbols was a real man: ambitious, self-taught, intensely concerned with honor, and constantly wrestling with the immense responsibilities history placed on his shoulders.In celebration of America's 250th birthday, we're taking an extended look at the life of the man more responsible than anyone else for the nation's founding. Here to unpack that life for us is H.W. Brands, a historian and the author of a new biography of Washington, American Patriarch. Brands traces Washington's journey from a young Virginia surveyor to military commander, founding father, and first president. Along the way, we discuss how Washington's upbringing shaped his character, why he became a surprisingly effective military leader despite losing more battles than he won, how he held together a fragile revolutionary army, how he shaped the presidency through the precedents he set, and whether a leader like Washington could still succeed today.Resources Related to the PodcastH.W.'s previous appearances on the AoM podcast:Episode #696: Theodore Roosevelt, The Last RomanticEpisode #908: Would You Have Been a Patriot or a Loyalist?AoM Podcast #223: George Washington, Benedict Arnold, and Valiant AmbitionAoM Podcast #366: Teach Yourself Like George WashingtonAoM Podcast #719: The Surprising Pessimism of America's Founding FathersAoM Article: George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and ConversationConnect With H.W.

Some seasons stack up so fast and so full that the only prayer you can manage is a whispered thank You for enough for today. In the same thirty days of May 2009, there was a newborn, a high school graduate, and a husband finishing his master's degree — and standing in a kitchen surrounded by food and relatives and celebration, that simple, barely-formed prayer was enough. Not a prayer for the week. Not a reflection on the month. Just enough for the day. Ecclesiastes 3 is one of Scripture's most beloved passages, but Solomon did not write it from a comfortable distance. He wrote it from the far side of a life that had demanded everything from him — cities built, kingdoms governed, people buried. When he declared that every activity under the heavens has its appointed time, he was writing from inside the weight of it. The Hebrew word translated "time" is eth, meaning an appointed time, something set and known in advance. Which means the season you are in right now was not a surprise to God. He saw the stacked calendar, the short nights, and what it cost you to show up anyway. He set this season in place knowing exactly what it would require. And that means He also set its end. The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full, and God is carrying you through every single day of them. Bible Verse "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."— Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, NIV Ponder Today The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full. God does not expect you to feel rested in a season He designed to require everything from you. Your current season was not a surprise to God. He saw it before you were living it. He set it in place, He knows what it is costing you, and He also set its limits. This season has an end that He already knows. Gratitude for today is enough when you cannot see the week. Sometimes the most faithful prayer is the smallest one. Thank You for enough for today is a prayer God honors fully. Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes from inside the weight of a demanding life, not from a distance. His wisdom about seasons is not theoretical comfort. It is hard-won truth from a man who had built, lost, buried, and endured. That makes it worth holding onto. God is not just watching you hold it all together — He is holding you. When you feel like you are barely keeping everything going, the deeper truth is that He is keeping you. Rest in that when the house finally gets quiet. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am coming to You today, worn out. The things filling my days are not bad things. Some of them are things I have prayed for, and You have graciously given. But I am tired, and the most words I can find right now are the ones whispered at a graduation party: thank You for enough for today. Help me trust that You saw this season before I was living it. You set it in place, and You set its limits. When I feel like I am barely keeping everything going, remind me that You are keeping me. When the house finally gets quiet and I sit down and feel it all at once, let that be the moment I rest in You instead of just collapsing. Thank You that the seasons change. Help me keep going with open hands until this one shifts. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer gave your weary heart permission to exhale, we'd love to stay connected.

In October 1999, a 911 dispatcher in Austin, Texas was nearing the end of a long night shift when a strange call came in. The man said his guts had blown out of his stomach. The dispatcher asked him to explain what happened, but all the caller would say was that he just woke up and his guts were coming out. He was holding them in with his hand. And he needed an ambulance... now.   You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when hurt, disappointment, and unfair treatment begin poisoning our hearts and relationships? In Episode 11 of "Essentials in Leadership," Duane Sheriff explains why the Golden Rule is far more than a simple principle for children—it is a key to guarding our hearts, preserving our souls, and walking in the love of God. Drawing from Matthew 7, Leviticus 19, and Romans 13, Duane reveals that treating others the way we desire to be treated is the practical expression of God's love and the fulfillment of the royal law of love.Many people live by the world's rule: treat others the way they have been treated. But Jesus taught a higher way—responding with grace, forgiveness, kindness, and love even when others fail us. Holding grudges, bitterness, and unforgiveness only corrupts the heart and damages relationships, ministries, and lives. Applying the Golden Rule will keep our hearts clean before God, protect us from offense, and produce wholeness, healing, and lasting spiritual health.

A gorgeous barred owl perched on a tree branch at the end of her driveway — camera in hand, several stunning shots captured. And then, an hour later, sitting with a friend in the depths of a broken relationship. Two encounters, stark in their contrast, and yet Tammy Darling found herself recognizing something profound in the space between them: beauty and pain do not cancel each other out. They coexist. And it takes love — the particular, Christ-shaped kind of love — to see the beauty that lives inside pain and call it out. In this searching and compassionate episode, Tammy refuses to look away. From the homeless man on the park bench to the woman in the grocery store line carrying fear about her future, she asks the question most of us quietly avoid: how can we stand in awe of the natural beauty of this world and not simultaneously seek out the hidden beauty in the people around us who are suffering? Romans 8:18 reminds us that present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that is coming — but Tammy takes it further, arguing that even now, in the midst of pain, beauty can be found and spoken over those who cannot yet see it in themselves. When love comes alongside pain, beauty is born. And entering someone else's pain is not a burden — it is a privilege. Today's Bible Verse "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."— Romans 8:18, NIV Ponder Today Beauty and pain can coexist — even in the same moment. We don't have to choose between marveling at the world's beauty and grieving its brokenness. Holding both at once is a mark of a heart shaped by Christ's compassion. In the eyes of the hurting, there are pools of beauty waiting to be discovered. The pain may go deep, but the beauty goes deeper. Choosing to look — truly look — at people in pain is where that beauty begins to be revealed. Sight brings responsibility. What is seen cannot be unseen. When we recognize the pain and hidden beauty in another person, we are called to speak it, to act on it, and to enter it. Seeing and doing nothing is its own kind of turning away. Love coming alongside pain is how beauty is born. Compassion, empathy, grace, and mercy are not just kind responses to suffering — they are facets of the love that Christ Himself is, and they transform pain into something redemptive. We were commanded, not suggested, to love one another as Christ loved us. John 13:34 uses the word must. We cannot pass by the wounded stranger on the road. Engaging with the pain of others is not optional for those who follow Jesus. A Prayer for You Today Dearest Jesus, though we live in a broken and fallen world, there is much beauty to behold. We thank You for the privilege of entering into the pain of others so that Your beauty may shine through, even in the darkest of places. May our days be full of compassion and love for one another. When we are hurt, may we forgive. When we are rejected, may we remember that You were too. When we see the hurting around us, may we choose to engage and ease their pain. May beauty in pain be revealed in all we do and say. In Your precious name, Amen.

Your body may be holding emotions your mind has already tried to move past, and somatic healing reveals what talk therapy alone can miss.  Join Cathy's Circle ⁠https://www.cathyheller.com/cathys-circle/⁠  In this episode of Everything Is Energy, Cathy Heller sits down with somatic pregnancy practitioner and energy healer Tamar for a conversation about nervous system healing, emotional healing, and the deep connection between trauma stored in the body and chronic illness. Tamar shares her personal healing journey how she reversed endometriosis, vestibular migraines, and years of chronic illness after doctors had no answers. This is not a surface-level conversation. It's a raw, practical look at how the nervous system holds onto trauma, how emotions get stuck in the fascia, and how to finally release them. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your nervous system registers small moments as trauma and how to complete the stress cycle your body never finished  How trauma gets stored in the fascia, causing calcification, shallow breathing, and chronic pain The connection between specific emotions and specific diseases and why your symptoms may not be random  How to discharge anger from the body using a step-by-step somatic release technique (no therapy session required)  Why shame is the emotion most people skip, and how it blocks nervous system regulation  The 90-second rule: an emotion, when fully felt without resistance, only lasts 90 seconds  How to start reconnecting with your body today using mirror work, self-touch, and body communication  What "coming home to yourself" actually feels like and how to build nervous system capacity so you can stay there This episode is for the woman who has done the inner work but still feels stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to fully receive joy. If you've been on a healing journey and still feel like something is lodged in your body you can't reach, this conversation is your permission slip to feel it. On August 2nd and 3rd, I'm hosting Cathy Heller Live: The Divine Download in Los Angeles, and I'd love for you to join us. https://cathyheller.com/summit/

Friendship was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be transformative. And often, the transformation doesn't come from finding better people—it comes from learning how to forgive the imperfect ones already in your life.   In this month's episode, we explored a topic most of us would rather avoid: forgiveness. Through one deeply personal story, we were reminded: forgiveness isn't optional—it's the doorway to the kind of relationships that actually last.   Show Notes: In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss chapter four of the book Made for People by Justin Whitmel Earley.   The Psalms give us an example of what honest, unfiltered prayer looks like.

What expectations are you placing on other people?And more importantly, are those expectations fair?In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the role expectations play in our relationships and why so much disappointment often stems from standards that may never have been communicated, agreed upon, or even consciously recognized.We discuss the popular idea of having zero expectations of others, why that can be difficult in practice, and how learning to notice and name the expectations we carry can help us better understand ourselves and the people around us. I also talk about blind spots, self-awareness, emotional reactions, and the opportunity we have to reassess whether the standards we're holding others to are actually reasonable.The goal isn't necessarily to eliminate expectations entirely. The goal is to become aware of them so we can decide what serves us, what serves others, and what may be worth letting go.Topics Covered:• Why expectations often lead to disappointment• The idea of having zero expectations• Recognizing unspoken standards• Notice and name your expectations• Self-awareness and personal blind spots• Emotional reactions versus logical evaluation• Fairness in relationships• Holding others to unrealistic standards• The expectations we place on ourselves• Letting go of unnecessary frustration• Reframing disappointment• Finding victories in personal growthThank you for listening to The Almost Daily Podcast.The more aware we become of the expectations we carry, the more opportunity we have to create healthier relationships, reduce unnecessary frustration, and approach ourselves and others with a little more understanding.

Pathophysiology/etiology Carotid artery disease is primarily driven by atherosclerotic plaque deposition.  Risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and advanced age. Nonatherosclerotic etiologies: fibromuscular dysplasia, carotid dissection, vasculitic disease, carotid webs, and trauma. When the endothelium is damaged, monocytes migrate to the site and differentiate into macrophages that take up oxidized LDL particles to become foam cells. Meanwhile, an inflammatory response occurs where activated platelets release thromboxane A2, platelet derived growth factor, and inflammatory cytokines that promote further platelet aggregation and vascular inflammation. Smooth muscle cells migrate and proliferate, forming the structural framework of the atheroma.  Within the lesion, necrotic debris and lipid accumulate, creating a vulnerable plaque. Plaque rupture exposes this material to the bloodstream, serving as a nidus for thrombus formation which can lead to ischemic events. Carotid bifurcation is particularly prone to plaque formation due to turbulent blood flow. Embolization of plaque from this area can result in TIA or ischemic stroke.  2. Presentation Patients are often asymptomatic and stenosis is incidentally found on imaging.  Symptomatic patients present with neurologic symptoms including unilateral motor and sensory loss, aphasia (difficulty finding words), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), amaurosis fugax (temporary monocular vision loss due to embolus to the ophthalmic artery), transient ischemic attacks Physical exam findings may be notable for auscultation of a carotid bruit. Patients may also have evidence of retinal artery embolization on fundoscopic examination (Hollenhorst plaque) or asymptomatic cerebral infarction.  3. Diagnosis USPTF recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.  In patients with no risk factors, SVS recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However, they do recommend screening for asymptomatic clinically significant carotid bifurcation in certain groups of patients with multiple risk factors.  These risk factors include patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, patients 65 and older with history of CAD, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and patients prior to coronary artery bypass.  Relevant findings on physical exam or imaging findings may warrant screening, but screening is not recommended for the presence of neck bruit alone without other risk factors, as this finding has a low sensitivity and specificity for detecting clinically significant carotid artery stenosis.  Carotid duplex ultrasound: first-line imaging modality for both screening and initial evaluation of stenosis, noninvasive, low-cost CTA: rapid, high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of vascular anatomy, risk of contrast and radiation exposure MRA: high-quality, three-dimensional imaging without radiation or contrast, expensive with longer acquisition time, can overestimate stenosis in severe disease DSA/angiography: gold standard, expensive, invasive, not generally recommended for routine diagnostic evaluation or screening 4. Classification Carotid artery stenosis is classified by degree of luminal narrowing. NASCET method: standard in current practice. Compares the minimal residual lumen at the point of greatest stenosis to the diameter of the normal distal internal carotid artery.  Classification of stenosis: Mild: 70 bpm, and ACT >250 seconds to optimize cerebral perfusion and minimize thrombotic risk. Clamp the carotid artery just proximal to the arterial sheath to establish active flow reversal.  Flow controller settings: Low setting High setting Flow-stop button: allows for temporary cessation of flow (used when we inject contrast).  Confirm flow reversal via two different ways:  The first way is to stop flow to the venous return sheath with the stopcock, clearing the line with hep saline injection, and then opening the stopcock and seeing the blood returning to the controller in a reverse fashion. The second way is to perform an angiogram with a small amount of contrast injection while holding the flow-stop button. Using the angio we want to make sure that contrast is flowing retrograde in the cervical ICA thereby confirming flow reversal.    Carotid artery stenting, balloon angioplasty, and completion angiogram At this point, a standard carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure is performed. ENROUTE transcarotid Neuroprotection System device:  inner diameter of 8F and an outer diameter of 10F Has its own carotid artery stent system but is also compatible with all FDA-approved carotid stents.  Final angiogram is performed to confirm stent position, vessel patency, and absence of complications including vasospasm at the distal end of the stent and filling defects from protrusion of atheromatous material through the stent    Cessation of flow reversal and sheath removal Allow the flow reversal to run for a few minutes after the final balloon angioplasty to clear any debris.  Antegrade flow is restored by releasing the carotid clamp and closing the stopcocks on the neuroprotection system.  The patient is auto-transfused the blood from the flow line back to the venous system.  As the arterial access system is removed and the puncture site is closed with the U-stitch.  IV protamine is administered to reverse the heparin. Standard closure is performed at the incision site. Meanwhile, hemostasis is achieved after removal of the femoral vein sheath with brief manual compression.  Postop care/complications Postop care All patients after a TCAR should be monitored in the ICU setting for 24 hours, as an embolic stroke, hypotension with or without bradycardia, or hypertension can occur.  Should a TIA or stroke be observed, a carotid duplex scan and CT angiogram should be immediately obtained to assess the stent site and the presence of an embolic or thrombotic filling defect, dissection, or occlusion.  Dual antiplatelet therapy: continue for 45 days to 12 months Aspirin and statin therapy: continued indefinitely Surveillance duplex imaging: 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months, and annually thereafter. Postop complications Hematoma Stroke Myocardial infarction Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome Sudden and excessive increase in cerebral blood flow to previously hypoperfused brain tissue is met with vasculature that cannot constrict appropriately from chronic vasodilation Leads to breakthrough hyperperfusion. This results in cerebral edema, intracerebral hemorrhage, and neurological symptoms.  Cranial nerve injury Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) injury: ipsilateral tongue deviation. It is the most commonly injured cranial nerve.  Vagus nerve (CN X) injury: hoarseness and possible vocal cord paralysis.  Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) injury: soft palate dysfunction.  Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury: voice hoarseness and inability to cough as it innervates all of the voice box muscles except for the cricothyroid muscle Marginal mandibular nerve injury: ipsilateral lip droop, injury is rare in TCAR.  Stent restenosis Pseudoaneurysm Access site infection

Have you ever given so much of yourself to a relationship that somewhere along the way, you lost sight of who you were?  Maybe you've experienced heartbreak, betrayal, divorce, or the painful realization that a relationship you hoped would last simply wasn't healthy for you. When relationships end, the loss often goes far beyond the relationship itself. Sometimes we lose confidence. Sometimes we lose trust. And sometimes we lose a piece of our identity. But what if heartbreak could become a doorway to healing, self-discovery, and a stronger version of yourself? Today on Call It in With Dar, I'm joined by Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards, an international speaker, coach, counselor, and transformational guide with more than two decades of experience helping people break free from the patterns that keep them stuck. Holding a PhD in Spiritual Counselling, Dr. Stephen combines professional expertise with hard-earned personal wisdom. His own journey has included childhood trauma, mental health struggles, multiple divorces, profound heartbreak, and the courageous work of rebuilding his life from the inside out. In this deeply honest conversation, Stephen shares how one particularly toxic relationship became a catalyst for extraordinary personal growth. He reveals the lessons he learned about self-worth, boundaries, vulnerability, and reclaiming his identity after years of looking outside himself for validation. We'll explore why so many of our relationship patterns begin in childhood, how unresolved wounds can influence the partners we choose, and what it takes to stop repeating the same painful cycles. Most importantly, Stephen reminds us that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about coming home to who we've always been beneath the hurt. If you've ever questioned your worth after a difficult relationship, struggled to trust yourself again, or wondered whether it's possible to rebuild after a heartbreak, this conversation will offer hope, insight, and practical tools for moving forward. So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join us for this powerful conversation on Rebuilding Self-Worth After Heartbreak. Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)  Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.Grab Dar's Flight Deck Oracle Card DeckTake Dar's Archetype Quiz

Iran negotiations, Keir Starmer's resignation, Jennifer Honka, and Jeremy Clarkson headline today's A.M. Update. JD Vance says talks in Switzerland accomplished four key goals: keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, building a de-confliction mechanism for the regional ceasefire, securing UN nuclear inspections, and establishing a direct communication line with Iran, while Scott Bessent confirms a 60-day licensing window for Iranian oil sales and Trump says crude is flowing at record volumes through the Strait. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces his resignation, making him the seventh British PM in ten years, and Aaron ties the chaos directly to the country's collapsing Christian foundation, where only 6% of adults now identify as practicing Christians. A sixth suspect, Jordan W. Rinker, is publicly identified in the foiled drone and sniper plot against the UFC Freedom 250 event. A Denver Public Schools teacher named Jennifer Honka is fired after an administrative law judge finds she graded students on same-sex kissing skits in French class, and Aaron asks what kind of worldview produces an adult who thinks that's a reasonable lesson plan. Aaron closes with Jeremy Clarkson's cancer remission news and a deep dive into Clarkson's Farm, using a healthy pregnant cow killed over an inconclusive tuberculosis test as a window into Britain's broader collapse into bureaucratic self-worship.    

Ken and Anthony break down Zac Jackson's claim that there's zero real trade market for Shedeur Sanders and no actual calls coming in, despite all the fan noise online. They debate whether Shedeur would ever demand a trade if Deshaun Watson wins the starting job, with Ken insisting fans care way more about this than teams actually do. The two also weigh whether a Jets deal or a surprise Brennan Sorsby pickup would shake up the quarterback math in Cleveland at all.

Holding a moderate, nuanced view of women is harder than the extremes — it's easier to antagonize or idolize than to see clearly. Women are susceptible to corruption, violence, betrayal, and anger—just like men are. When we stop expecting perfection from our complementary counterparts, we begin to see them for who they are: image-bearers of God. To do this, we must listen without defensiveness, lead without controlling, disagree without belittling, protect without possessing, and love without demanding. Join JT, Anthony, and Stephen for this powerful roundtable discussion about women.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do you do when life breaks you, your family is under pressure, and the man you thought you were falls apart? In this powerful Christian men's podcast episode, Josh Price shares the story of his daughter Brighton's life-limiting diagnosis, the hospital moment that shattered his identity, and how God began rebuilding him as a husband, father, and leader. This conversation is for Christian men, fathers, husbands, and leaders who feel overwhelmed by pressure, trauma, fear, marriage struggles, parenting challenges, or hard decisions. Josh talks about faith under pressure, post-traumatic growth, choosing life, spiritual formation, masculine identity, leadership, marriage, fatherhood, and learning to stop giving away your authority to fear, circumstances, anger, control, or pain. If you have ever wondered how to lead your family when life feels impossible, how to hear God in suffering, how to make better decisions under pressure, or how to become the man God is forming you to be, this episode will challenge and encourage you. Josh shares the heartbreaking story of his daughter Brighton's diagnosis with Leigh syndrome and the hospital crisis that forced him to face fear, grief, and helplessness in a new way. You'll hear how God used one moment of brokenness to begin reshaping Josh's identity, helping him move from ego, control, and brash confidence toward empathy, love, humility, and spiritual formation. Tim and Josh unpack what it means for Christian men to choose life, walk the narrow road, and experience post-traumatic growth instead of being destroyed by pain. Josh also explains how men give away their authority under pressure, why better decision-making creates better leadership, and how fathers can stop parenting from their own wounds and start parenting the child in front of them. 00:00 Intro01:31 Josh shares his daughter Brighton's early health struggles03:19 The hospital search for answers04:56 Receiving the Leigh syndrome diagnosis06:45 The morning Brighton stopped breathing08:53 The moment Josh froze under pressure10:07 Life in the PICU and learning to care for Brighton12:28 Grief, terror, and the dreams parents lose16:18 How that hospital moment broke Josh's old identity18:19 Army leadership, confidence, and decisiveness21:02 How Josh pursued his wife Kelly27:14 Hearing God say, “If you walk with Me, I'll walk with you”29:24 How suffering changed Josh's marriage31:28 Breakthroughs in fatherhood and parenting his son34:04 Don't reparent yourself—parent your child38:26 Marriage, opposition, and learning to listen to your wife40:35 Why men need to pause under pressure43:09 Brighton's progress and choosing hope45:44 Choosing life instead of being destroyed48:21 Post-traumatic growth52:35 Holding your identity under pressure57:51 Where men give away their authority59:35 Finding the hidden lesson in your hardest season01:01:50 Josh's six-week coaching process01:05:17 How to connect with Josh #ChristianMen#FaithUnderPressure#ChristianFatherhood#MensLeadership#ChooseLife Learn more about your ad choices.

Parliament is holding an urgent debate on the failure of an IT project officials are accused of misleading ministers over. The biometrics project was scrapped last year, having cost more than $30 million over about seven years, and the public service commission has ordered an investigation which was launched today. Political reporter Russell Palmer spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this raw and revealing episode, serial entrepreneur Terry Tateossian sits down to discuss the hidden trials of balancing high-stakes business ownership with life-altering physical changes.  Terry shares her profound awakening after a series of stress-induced health crises forced her to confront a massive weight gain, early perimenopause, and an emotional eating disorder. By stepping away from the "all-or-nothing" founder mindset and learning how to manage her body with internal empathy, she uncovered a sustainable lifestyle that brought her health back into alignment. Today, she uses her hard-won expertise to help other women navigate the physical and mental hurdles of midlife. You'll Learn Why: Extreme restrictive dieting often triggers a physiological rebound that leads to long-term weight gain rather than sustainable loss. Strength training serves as a fundamental pillar for longevity because female metabolic hormones tightly interact with lean muscle tissue. Nutritional literacy and proper macronutrient balance can dramatically ease systemic perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes and extreme fatigue. Holding an internal "board meeting" to listen to different emotional states helps prevent psychological self-sabotage in health and business.

Lost in the freezing void of Harmonium space, the crew fights to survive the aftermath of the catastrophic collision that destroyed their ship. With debris, failing systems, and drifting survivors scattered across the darkness, every second becomes a race against momentum, oxygen, and distance. One by one, the crew manages to regroup, pulling the Harmonium ambassadors and each other back from the edge. For a brief moment, it almost feels like they might actually make it. Then Spindrift shoots a missile. What follows is immediate chaos. The detonation tears through the debris field and sends everyone spiraling away from each other once again—scattered across the void with damaged systems, broken comms, and rapidly shrinking chances of rescue.

What if the greatest healing isn't found in fixing yourself?What if the breakthrough you've been searching for comes from accepting that you were never broken in the first place?In this powerful conversation, Stacey and I explore one of the deepest beliefs many of us carry on the spiritual journey: the belief that there is something wrong with us that needs fixing.As we move through a period of intense change, endings, new beginnings, and shifting soul contracts, many people are questioning themselves, their relationships, and their purpose. We discuss the difference between healing and fixing, the role of the ego, why so many people feel disconnected from themselves, and how self-acceptance can become one of the most transformational acts of all.Together we explore self-love, intuition, community, soul contracts, relationships, and the importance of holding space for ourselves and others during challenging times.This episode is a reminder that your soul has never viewed you as broken.Perhaps the healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start learning to love yourself exactly as you are.Key Themes

Holding on to expectations is one of the fastest way to ensure our suffering and one of the fastest ways to ensure our peace of mind is to let go of those expectations. It is easier said than done but it is possible through practice of meditation. This meditation hopes to help with the letting go by following our breath. One breath at a time.

There's a version of stability…that doesn't come from things being naturally steady.It comes from effort.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 1 Kings 12-13; 17-22 and explore the divided kingdom of Israel, the ministry of Elijah, and the many ways God shows up in our lives. Through stories of kings, prophets, miracles, and personal struggles, these chapters remind us that faith is not about choosing the easiest path, but about trusting God enough to keep moving forward even when we cannot see the outcome. As the kingdom divides under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the discussion highlights the danger of choosing convenience over covenant commitment. The temptation to make discipleship easier often comes at the cost of sacrifice, growth, and devotion. Dave and Grace reflect on how spiritual strength is built through consistent faithfulness, reminding us that some of the deepest blessings come not from avoiding difficulty, but from remaining dedicated when the journey requires effort. The heart of the episode follows Elijah's remarkable experiences during a time of drought and uncertainty. Whether being fed by ravens, helping a widow whose oil never fails, or witnessing God's power on Mount Carmel, Elijah learns again and again that the Lord provides exactly what is needed. These stories invite us to get off the bench and step into faith, trusting that God can work through unlikely circumstances, unexpected people, and miracles that often begin with simple acts of obedience. The episode concludes with Elijah's moments of exhaustion, discouragement, and renewal. Under a juniper tree and later on a mountain, he discovers that God does not always appear through dramatic displays of power. Sometimes He comes through a meal, a moment of rest, a small cloud on the horizon, or a still small voice. Together, these chapters testify of a God who is both powerful and personal, who keeps His promises, strengthens His people, and remains present through every season of the journey.
