Podcasts about Holding

1. Senate Vote and Legislative Status The Senate voted 51–47 to proceed with debate on the Save America Act. All Republicans supported moving forward except Lisa Murkowski; Tom Tillis did not vote. Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed. The bill is now in debate, with Republicans attempting to build public support. The legislation would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Require photo ID to cast a ballot. This is: A common-sense safeguard, not voter suppression. Necessary to maintain election integrity and public trust. Voting is framed as a sacred right earned through American history and constitutional amendments. The speech references: The 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments as expansions of voting rights. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Indiana voter ID case) that upheld photo ID laws. Facts are laid out that: Minority voter participation increased after voter ID laws. The Court rejected arguments that voter ID is discriminatory. 81% of Americans support voter ID laws. Roughly 75% of African Americans and 80%+ of Hispanics support voter ID. 70% of rank-and-file Democrats support voter ID, despite elected Democrats opposing it. Democratic opposition is elitist and disconnected from voters. 1B. Immigration and Election Integrity Link The speaker claims: Over 12 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. Border security improved dramatically after Trump’s second inauguration. The argument suggests Democrats: Intentionally allowed mass immigration. Oppose voter ID to enable non-citizen voting, allegedly to gain political power. This claim is central to the narrative that Democrats are undermining democracy. 1C. Cultural and Moral Critiques of Democrats Democrats are accused of: Misusing civil rights language (e.g., calling voter ID “Jim Crow”). Holding minorities to lower expectations. Valuing ideology over national unity, faith, and tradition. Voting is compared to everyday activities that already require ID (flying, banking, alcohol purchases). 2. Who is Texas Democratic Senate Nominee James Talarico The nominee is: A radical progressive falsely presented as moderate. Using religious language to promote views on gender identity, abortion, and masculinity. His statements on: God being non-binary, Transgender issues, Abortion, American symbols, Veganism and climate changeare used to depict him as culturally out of touch with Texas voters. 3. César Chávez Hero of the Political Left A New York Times exposé alleges sexual abuse by César Chávez. Chávez was: A leftist icon whose crimes were allegedly ignored due to ideology. A symbol of ethnic tokenism and collectivist politics. The broader scope: The left protects immoral figures if they serve political goals. Identity politics harms rather than empowers minority communities. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode, I walk you through the many ways OCD can show up, because it's not just about germs or checking. OCD can attach itself to anything that matters to you, like relationships, health, morality, identity, or past experiences. If you've ever felt confused or alone in your thoughts, I want you to know there's a reason your OCD looks the way it does, and you're not alone in this.

In today's episode, we sit down with Christopher Perkins (President at CoinFund) to break down the massive disconnect between geopolitics and market behavior and why crypto might be stronger than most investors realize. We dive into the oil shock risk, the impact of global conflict on liquidity, and why Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenization could benefit from a rapidly shifting world order.~~~~~⁠

What if the biggest barrier between you and your potential isn't talent - but a belief you've never questioned?Nir Eyal is a behavioral design expert and the bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and his newest book, Beyond Belief. In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, he explores a deceptively powerful idea: that beliefs operate like the hidden software of the mind, shaping what we notice, what we feel, what we attempt, and what we assume is possible.At the center of the conversation is a problem most of us know very intimately: If we already know what to do, why don't we do it? Nir argues that motivation is not simply about knowing the right behavior or wanting the right outcome. Holding it all together is belief, the often invisible layer that determines whether we think change is possible, whether our effort is worth it, and whether we believe we are capable of following through.Nir breaks down the difference between facts, faith, and beliefs, and offers a compelling reframing: beliefs are not truths, they are tools. From there, he explores the difference between limiting beliefs and liberating beliefs, why the mind defaults toward safety and passivity, and how small acts of agency can begin to reshape what we think is available to us.Mike and Nir also dig into the relationship between pain and suffering, learned helplessness and hope, and the role interpretation plays in human performance. Along the way, they unpack how beliefs shape our attention, anticipation, and agency, and why changing a belief is often less about finding “the truth” and more about testing perspectives that better serve the life we want to live.This is a conversation about motivation, resilience, and the invisible architecture of our inner life. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated that insight alone isn't producing change, or curious about the mental filters shaping your performance, this one is for you. __________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Supervision isn't just about cases—it's about people. And people don't grow in isolation.In Episode 56 of Supervision Simplified, Dr. Amy Parks is joined by grief counselor, educator, and supervisor Debi Jenkins Frankle to explore why supervising alone may be limiting your clinicians more than helping them.Debi shares her approach to group supervision, including how connection, support, and real-time feedback shape confident, capable clinicians. From starting supervision with “how's your heart and soul” to creating environments where clinicians can learn from each other, this conversation reframes supervision as a developmental process—not just a requirement.If you're a clinical supervisor, practice owner, or stepping into leadership, this episode will challenge your current model and give you a more effective path forward.Connect with Debi Jenkins Frankle:https://www.calabasascounseling.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/privatepracticegriefhttps://www.instagram.com/debijenkinsfrankleSponsor:Clinical Supervision Directorywww.clinicalsupervisiondirectory.comNote: This is a previously released episode we're bringing back because the conversation is just as relevant today—especially for supervisors looking to build stronger, more supported clinicians.

Today I'm joined by Jon Acuff, a New York Times bestselling author who has spent years studying why so many of us procrastinate and how to finally get out of our own way. We talk about the real reasons people stall out—fear, rejection, imposter syndrome, perfectionism—and how comparison, when used correctly, can actually become a source of inspiration rather than insecurity. Jon also shares practical frameworks for focusing on effort instead of obsessing over outcomes, creating your own personal scorecard for success, and adopting a "let's find out" mentality when it comes to pursuing goals and navigating uncertainty. If you've ever felt stuck between what you say you want and what you're actually doing, this conversation will give you some tools to start closing that gap.

In this homily The Rev. Dr. Russell Levenson, Retired Rectorof St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, TX, and guest preacher at St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the power of God. He says that God is not a god of endings but beginnings. God never comes to the end of His rope. Holding the hand of God gets us through life's challenges. As Christians we must believe that God always will stand with us.Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com.

This week on Fishing Without Bait, we continue our deeply moving conversation with returning guest Emily. In this episode, Emily shares the intense and emotional journey following her daughter McKenna's sudden medical crisis. What began as a normal day quickly turned into a life-threatening situation involving emergency surgery, strokes, and unimaginable uncertainty. Emily walks us through the overwhelming decisions, the devastating prognosis she was given, and the moments that tested her strength like never before. Despite facing the possibility of losing her child, Emily found herself holding onto even the smallest signs of hope — a breath over a ventilator, a slight movement, a reason to keep going. She reflects on the emotional toll, the fear of the unknown, and how she navigated anxiety, trauma, and the temptation of relapse during the darkest moments. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the importance of support systems when life changes in an instant. This is Part 2 of our conversation with Emily.

One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to showing up online is this: “How do I know if I'm being authentic… or if I'm oversharing?” Where is the line between vulnerability and trauma dumping? In this episode, I'm breaking down the balance between being raw and real while still protecting yourself and your credibility. Because here's the truth: Authenticity builds connection. But not everything belongs on the internet. I share how I built my brand by documenting my process of becoming — from recording podcast episodes in my car while broke and exhausted with two kids, to building a global personal brand and loyal audience. You'll learn how to share your story in a way that creates connection, trust, and authority without feeling like you're exposing every part of your life. This episode is for you if you're: • Scared of what people will think online • Worried you're sharing too much • Holding yourself back from being seen • Trying to build a personal brand or business • Learning how to tell your story with power Inside this episode we talk about: • The difference between sharing from a scar vs sharing from a wound • How to know if you're oversharing or actually not sharing enough • The storytelling method I call zooming in vs zooming out • Why perfection erodes connection • How vulnerability builds loyalty and community • The question you must ask before sharing anything online At the end of the day, your story is yours. And when you learn how to share it intentionally, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have to connect, lead, and serve others. In This Episode • Authenticity vs oversharing • Building a personal brand online • Vulnerability and storytelling • Trauma dumping vs healed sharing • Personal branding and content creation • Confidence and showing up online Chapters 00:00:00 The Authenticity Strategy That Built My Brand 00:00:29 Welcome to the Confidence Chronicles 00:01:25 The Number One Question About Showing Up Online 00:03:13 When Fear Holds You Back From Being Seen 00:04:19 My Broke, Breastfeeding, Car Podcast Origin Story 00:06:51 When You Have Nothing Else But Your Story 00:07:57 The Loyal Cult-Like Following I Built Through Sharing 00:12:23 Document Your Process of Becoming 00:14:20 Getting Metaphorically Naked on the Internet 00:17:01 The Zoom Out Strategy for Professional Boundaries 00:22:08 The Scar vs The Wound: When to Share Your Story 00:25:49 Intent Is Everything When Sharing Vulnerability 00:30:11 Know Your Audience and What They Need to Hear 00:33:12 The More You Zoom In, The More They Come Closer 00:34:04 Being Imperfect Is Part of My Brand 00:34:42 Thank You for Letting Me Into Your World Connect With Erika

Christians "hold the rope" for each other.

You've been stuck — not because you lack discipline, ideas, or talent. You've been stuck because you've been obeying a rulebook you wrote yourself and forgot you were the author. In this episode, Krysta breaks down the invisible standards quietly running the show in your content strategy, your nutrition, and honestly, every area of your life where you feel like you just can't move. In this episode we dive into:• Why your content isn't going anywhere (hint: it's not the algorithm)• The same self-sabotage pattern that shows up in your feed and on your plate• What actually happened when Krysta loosened the grip on her own rules• The one shift that unlocks momentum — no perfect start requiredThe Rules You Didn't Know You Were Following• "I can't post unless the hook is elite." Sound familiar? That sentence is a rule — one you invented.• The fear of being opinionated, inconsistent, or misunderstood keeps more people silent than any algorithm ever has• Spoiler: the creators you binge most are often the ones you don't even fully agree with• People-pleasing dressed up as professionalism is still people-pleasingBreaking the Feedback Loop• Krysta spent a season of 2025 beating herself up daily for not posting — and almost nobody noticed• The same logic that says "I already missed breakfast tracking so why bother with lunch" is the exact logic keeping your content calendar empty• Holding up a mirror for your audience means some people will flinch — that's the point, not the problem• Real talk: version 10 doesn't exist without versions one through nineThe Wide Lane• Coffee content from a West Village coffee shop going viral > a "strategically educational" post no one asked for• When Krysta stopped performing for the algorithm and started showing up as herself, the ideas stopped feeling forced• The highway analogy: four lanes gets you there faster than one — widen the lane, and you actually move• Your goals don't need perfection. They need repetition.This episode is a direct call-out and a permission slip at the same time. Whether you're a business owner paralyzed by your own content standards or someone who's been telling yourself you'll start tracking again on Monday, the rules you're obeying are ones you created — which means you're also the one who gets to scrap them. Default to continuation. Not a clean slate. Just another rep.Want to go deeper on the energy piece? Check out last week's episode with Melissa on energetics and intuition, where we explore exactly why tapping into yourself is the strategy.Follow Krysta:@thekrystahuber@thespreadmktg@thefitnessfyx

And what to do when it shows up Here's the sequence: Unmet needs lead to disappointment. Disappointment gives rise to grief. Unresolved grief turns into resentment. Holding onto resentment creates anger. Welcome to Earth. Welcome to being a human. There is a 100% likelihood that to varying degrees, we will all feel unseen, unheard, or not loved in ways that we want to be loved. When we're children, we aren't able to fully process not having our needs met. The implicit grief registers in our energy field and we haul it around until we're mature enough to process it on our own or until we can afford therapy, whichever comes first. If we don't treat our grief with compassion, it thickens into resentment over time. Resentment is one of the root causes of cynicism and doubt. Resentment often causes us to hoard resources out of fear. Resentment is a huge obstacle to abundance. Holding onto our unmet needs perpetuates not having our needs met in the present. It becomes this vicious cycle of chasing and not receiving. If you fight your anger, it will fight you right back. Your anger is looking to be seen, to be heard, to be loved. Bless it, and it will stop acting out. What we embrace transforms and makes us more loving. Listen in. Then we're doing the Centering Practice together. We'll work with the full spectrum of colour.

LESSON 72Holding Grievances Is An Attack On God's Plan For Salvation.While we have recognized that the ego's plan for salvation is the opposite of God's, we have not yet emphasized that it is an active attack on His plan, and a deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the attack, God is assigned the attributes which are actually associated with the ego, while the ego appears to take on the attributes of God.The ego's fundamental wish is to replace God. In fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of that wish. For it is that wish that seems to surround the mind with a body, keeping it separate and alone, and unable to reach other minds except through the body that was made to imprison it. The limit on communication cannot be the best means to expand communication. Yet the ego would have you believe that it is.Although the attempt to keep the limitations that a body would impose is obvious here, it is perhaps not so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things you are apt to hold grievances for. Are they not always associated with something a body does? A person says something you do not like. He does something that displeases you. He “betrays” his hostile thoughts in his behavior.You are not dealing here with what the person is. On the contrary, you are exclusively concerned with what he does in a body. You are doing more than failing to help in freeing him from the body's limitations. You are actively trying to hold him to it by confusing it with him, and judging them as one. Herein is God attacked, for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable.If God is a body, what must His plan for salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to present Himself as the Author of life and not of death, He is a liar and a deceiver, full of false promises and offering illusions in place of truth. The body's apparent reality makes this view of God quite convincing. In fact, if the body were real, it would be difficult indeed to escape this conclusion. And every grievance that you hold insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your brother is. It reinforces your belief that he is a body, and condemns him for it. And it asserts that his salvation must be death, projecting this attack onto God, and holding Him responsible for it.To this carefully prepared arena, where angry animals seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself be deprived of what the body offers. Take the little you can get. God gave you nothing. The body is your only savior. It is the death of God and your salvation.This is the universal belief of the world you see. Some hate the body, and try to hurt and humiliate it. Others love the body, and try to glorify and exalt it. But while the body stands at the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God's plan for salvation, and holding your grievances against Him and His creation, that you may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome It as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His place instead. It is your friend; He is your enemy.We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked away from your awareness by the body's limitations. Now we are going to try to see this differently.The light of truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is outside us, and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation, and to accept it instead. And wherever His plan is accepted, it is accomplished already.Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, we must replace attack with acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot understand what God's plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize. Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside, and ask what God's plan for us is:What is salvation, Father?I do not know.Tell me, that I may understand.Then we will wait in quiet for His answer. We have attacked God's plan for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted our grievances so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We have used our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears.Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will find. We are no longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom you ask.Whenever you feel your confidence wane and your hope of success flicker and go out, repeat your question and your request, remembering that you are asking of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who created you like Himself:What is salvation, Father?I do not know.Tell me, that I may understand.He will answer. Be determined to hear.One or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today, since they will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises should begin with this:Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation.Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, Father?Then wait a minute or so in silence, preferably with your eyes closed, and listen for His answer.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Send a textWhy do wicked people get long lives, full bank accounts, and public honor while faithful people suffer in silence? We sit with Job's question and refuse the easy answers. The tension is real: if God is sovereign, then nothing happens outside His decree. If God is holy, then He is not the author of sin. Holding those truths together is where the conversation gets both challenging and comforting.We walk through the difference between saying God “allows” evil and confessing that God ordains all things without being morally guilty. That shift changes how we read Job 1, where Satan cannot touch Job without permission, and it changes how we understand our own trials. We also talk about human choice, desires, and why “what we see” in someone's life can be a terrible measure of what is true about their soul.Then we land on the answer we keep circling back to: God is patient. His long-suffering toward the wicked is not weakness, it is purposeful restraint that magnifies His mercy and leaves no one without excuse. That patience is also a grace to believers who still pray for repentance and still plead the gospel with people who seem untouchable. Along the way, we confront prosperity thinking head-on, asking why we call money and comfort “blessings” but struggle to say the same about illness, loss, and hardship, even when Scripture says all things work together for our good.If this stirred questions or pushed on your assumptions, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these Job conversations.

S4 Capital has announced a revolutionary new pricing model that will transform how agencies charge for their services: instead of billable hours, they’re moving to… subscriptions. Fixed monthly fees. Annual contracts that auto-renew. All costs absorbed into the price rather than passed through as variables. You know, retainers. The pricing model most independent agencies have used for decades. In this episode (somewhat abbreviated due to Gini’s technical difficulties), Chip and Gini dissect the holding company’s “brilliant innovation” with the appropriate level of sarcasm, then pivot to the more interesting question buried in the announcement: how should agencies price around AI? The conversation moves from eye-rolling at repackaged retainer models to wrestling with legitimate uncertainty about how AI costs will evolve and what that means for agency pricing strategies. Chip points out that we only know what AI costs today, and it’s likely those costs will rise as platforms realize they’re replacing expensive labor and can charge accordingly. This creates a pricing puzzle—do you transparently pass through AI costs, absorb them into your general cost of doing business, or find some middle ground? Gini shares how she’s handling questions from college students about whether jobs will exist when they graduate, explaining that the work itself is shifting from doing to orchestrating, from creating to editing and refining AI outputs. The discussion highlights the difference between cosmetic changes (calling retainers “subscriptions”) and substantive challenges (figuring out sustainable pricing as AI capabilities and costs both increase). They land on the principle that AI costs should be factored into your total cost of doing business rather than line-itemized separately, giving you flexibility to adapt as the landscape shifts without locking yourself into specific cost structures that may not hold. The subtext throughout is that holding companies remain out of touch with how most agencies actually operate, still discovering “innovations” that the rest of the industry implemented years ago. Key takeaways Chip Griffin: “We only know what AI costs us today. As AI becomes more and more of a labor replacement, the vendors understand that the value that they’re creating for you is going up. Just as you want to charge your clients more because you’re providing more value, they want to charge you more because they’re providing you more value.” Gini Dietrich: “The job that I had when I graduated from college is not the job that you’ll have when you graduate from college. Those things are going to be done by AI. What you are going to be doing is sort of orchestrating your orchestra of AI bots.” Chip Griffin: “AI has come a long way in the last year. It doesn’t mean that everything that it does should be immediately blasted out to the universe. Sometimes the tone isn’t quite right, or maybe it misses the point slightly because you didn’t give it enough information to begin with.” Gini Dietrich: “Just like you would absorb an employee’s salary into your hourly rates or retainers or however you’re doing your pricing, that same thing. The AI needs to be absorbed into that.” Resources ‘The billable hour does not allow for any meaningful innovation': S4 Capital builds subscription model for the AI age (Digiday article) Related Structuring retainers for long-term profitability Understanding pricing models for your agency's services 9 ways to price your agency's services Choosing the right pricing model for your agency's services View Transcript The following is a computer-generated transcript. Please listen to the audio to confirm accuracy. Chip Griffin: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: And I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And Gini, I think I wanna subscribe to your wisdom. I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, you know, pay you retainer or anything like that. I wanna subscribe. Gini Dietrich: Oh okay, sure. $1 million a week. Chip Griffin: $1 million a week? I don’t know. Yes. I mean, even, even for you, that might be, that might be a little bit much. Gini Dietrich: It’ll be worth it. I promise. I promise. I’ll give you some benchmarks. It’ll be, it’ll be worth it. Chip Griffin: Oh, some benchmarks. Oh, well, I mean, as long as there are some benchmarks. Gini Dietrich: Yes. Chip Griffin: That’s really, you gimme some pretty charts to show that. Absolutely. That you’re achieving those benchmarks, I assume. Gini Dietrich: Yes, absolutely. I’ll, yes, 100%. Chip Griffin: Yeah. Okay. Well, that, that should solve it. That’s, that’s good for me. If it’s good for you and so, you know. Let’s do it. Gini Dietrich: Amazing. Yay. That was easy. Chip Griffin: Yay. Gini Dietrich: No, I don’t have to work anymore. Chip Griffin: We’re gonna talk about pricing today. We’re gonna talk about how you charge for your services and it seems like we’ve talked about this a lot, but, but now we have a brilliant new idea being foisted upon us from holding company land. Gini Dietrich: Brilliant is sarcastic, by the way. Chip Griffin: Where all of the ideas come from. I mean. Holding company mind. I think every, every good idea and innovation in the agency world has come from a holding company, hasn’t it? Gini Dietrich: Yeah. I think, I think you’re right. Yep. Yes. Chip Griffin: And it’s always, it’s always very original thinking that we can expect from the holding companies. Gini Dietrich: Uhhuh. Yes. Chip Griffin: So that’s what we have to discuss today. We have the proclamation from none other, none other than S4 Capital. S4 Capital, for those of you who don’t know, is I think, didn’t they originally describe themselves as like the non holding company holding company or something like that? Gini Dietrich: They did, yes. Chip Griffin: They tried to pretend Gini Dietrich: they did Chip Griffin: That they’re not really a holding company. Gini Dietrich: Mm-hmm. Chip Griffin: They’re still a holding company folks. Gini Dietrich: Yes. Chip Griffin: And so what we are being told is that we should move away from the billable hour to a subscription model. Ugh. Now this wild innovation is something that has never been considered before, so I’m glad they’ve brought this to the table. Certainly we’ve never heard of retainers in the agency world. Gini Dietrich: No. Never. Mm-hmm. Nope. Chip Griffin: So this must be different than a retainer, correct? Gini Dietrich: Um, nope. Chip Griffin: No. Gini Dietrich: I mean, when I dug into it, it’s, it’s essentially a retainer. Essentially. Chip Griffin: So the brand new. Innovative idea from holding company land? Mm-hmm. Is that, that we should have retainers and not billable hours? Gini Dietrich: Yeah. I think the difference that they’re trying to expound, expel, expound upon, expand upon is that, it’s renewable every year, so you don’t have contracts. It’s the same amount every month. Retainer. Mm-hmm. And there was one other piece. Hang on. I, I wrote it down. One year terms, it renews every month. It’s, it’s not a fixed checklist. So eventually you get more output over time, especially if you’re allowed to use AI. And it allows you to absorb costs. So instead of you doing a pass through on expenses, it just absorbs it into that and you, you still pass it through, but it absorbs it instead of doing it one off because procurement doesn’t like variable pass through costs. Chip Griffin: Mm-hmm. Gini Dietrich: So those were the big things in the subscription model versus the hourly bill hourly model. Chip Griffin: Gosh, I, I mean, I, I really hate to break it to them, but that’s how I’ve run every one of my agency businesses for a quarter of a century. Gini Dietrich: For years. Yeah. Chip Griffin: I mean, I consider myself a relatively innovative guy, but I, I don’t, I don’t claim to have invented that, so I’m, I’m not gonna sue them for doing this. Gini Dietrich: Right. Chip Griffin: Because I came up with it first. I certainly didn’t, but I think, I think if they did a little bit of research, they would find this is actually a pretty common way Yes. To do business if you are not a holding company. Gini Dietrich: Correct. Yes. Chip Griffin: I think this is one of those circumstances where the holding companies have got their blinders on Uhhuh. They’ve, they, they drink their own Kool-Aid. They focus only on the way that they do things. And yes, holding companies do a lot of dumb stuff, particularly on the advertising side. They, they like to use billable hours. They like to do pass through expenses with dramatic markups. They like to take kickbacks from publishers and websites in order to place advertising there. Mm-hmm. They do all sorts of stuff. Mm-hmm. That I think is a really bad idea. Gini Dietrich: Mm-hmm. Chip Griffin: So I guess maybe we should be encouraged by the fact that they’re going to act in a way that’s a little bit more normal. I don’t think it’s gonna help them. I think all of the struggling that we’ve seen holding companies go through in recent years is only gonna continue because the holding company model is a bad model. Yeah. It is a broken model. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: And you, you can only put so much makeup on it and try to make it look good. It’s just not gonna happen. Gini Dietrich: It’s, I mean, I read it and my first instinct was, I think I even said to you, oh, so it’s a retainer. And then I, I dug deeper and I read the comments and I read the article and like I dug deeper and I was like, yeah, this is not, it’s not anything that, to your point, that those of us who have run, been running agencies for years, granted not gigantic ones, but those of us who have been doing it, that’s, that’s how I do it. I have annual contracts that renew, unless you send me a letter saying we’re done. We have a monthly retainer, we have a, you know, we, there is work that compounds over time because we get smarter about your business and yeah, we’re using AI for certain things and there is some heavy lifting up front to get things started. So yeah, it compounds over time. Like all of those things are, are true. It’s called a retainer. Chip Griffin: Yeah, and look, I, I mean, I would have more respect if they said, you know, look, in order to, to meet. Where the clients are at in today’s environment, we’re simply going to rename retainers as subscriptions. I, I could respect that. And, there is a case to be made that for a swath of clients, at least, they are more receptive to the word subscription than the word retainer, especially if they’re in tech. So if that’s what this was, that would be fine. But to pretend that it is a brand new way of doing things Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: Is just laughable. Yeah. Now I do think in reading the Digiday piece that there, there is an interesting tangent that is not fully encapsulated in this thinking, but it, it opens a door that I think is worth discussing and is worth thinking about for agency owners. Agency leaders at, at every level we’re talking, holding companies or a, you know, a solo shop, and that is how you price around AI. Mm-hmm. And I think that there is currently a strong mindset that if you can do it with AI, this is from the client side, that if you can do it with AI, it ought to be cheaper. There’s a strong feeling from the agency side that if we do it with AI, we should still charge the exact same amount because it’s the value that we’re creating. As usual, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Gini Dietrich: Sure. Mm-hmm. Chip Griffin: I think one of the real challenges, and it’s highlighted in the Digiday piece, is that we only know what AI costs us today. Gini Dietrich: Correct. Chip Griffin: So we need to be really careful as we’re thinking about pricing. We need to keep a close eye on it because as I’ve said before on, on this show and elsewhere, I think it is likely that the cost of AI will go up over time. Gini Dietrich: Mm-hmm. Chip Griffin: That, that we’re, right now, we are in this adoption phase where typically things are underpriced to get people hooked essentially on it. Mm-hmm. So we’ve all seen what we can do with AI, but as AI becomes more and more of a labor replacement, the vendors understand that the value that they’re creating for you is going up. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: And so just as you want to charge your clients more, because you’re providing more value, they want to charge you more because they’re providing you more value. Gini Dietrich: Yep, yep. Chip Griffin: On top of that, the cost of actually doing all of this continues to go up. And yes, they’re becoming more efficient in some of the models and that sort of thing so that they can balance the quality and the cost. But, but nevertheless, it’s likely that over time the cost is gonna continue to rise. So if they’re gonna have a smaller margin, they’re gonna make up for it by fixing that margin, by charging you more. Yep. So regardless of how you get there, you are going to be charge, be paying more for AI in five years than you are today. Gini Dietrich: Absolutely. Chip Griffin: So, so you do need to be thinking about how you are structuring AI and in particular the Digiday piece put out there, the, the thought of are you transparent about what the AI costs are or do you just consider that part of your cost of doing business? And I, I think this is, there is a lot of room for meaty conversations in the, the coming months and years trying to figure out how to tackle this most appropriately. Gini Dietrich: It’s funny you say that because I’ve been doing a lot of speaking virtually to juniors and seniors in colleges, in college classes. And one of the question that continues to come up is, and I think it’s really interesting that they’re talking about this at school, which is smart, but it continues to come up, is, is there a job for me when I graduate from college? And my answer has been the job that I had when I graduated from college is not the job that you’ll have when you graduate from college. Like, you’re not gonna stand at the copier and make clipbooks, you’re not going to open Bacon’s books and make media lists. You’re probably not gonna make media lists at all. You’re not gonna make clipbooks at all. You’re not going to, you probably, you may not even be pitching media. Like those things are, are going to be done by AI. What you are going to be doing is sort of orchestrating your, or conducting your orchestra of AI bots, so you have to understand how to prompt accurately, how to give it the right kinds of input so that you get the right output. How to edit its work, you know, those are the kinds of things that you have to understand. And so when you think about, to your point, what this is going to cost, it may not cost the same as a full-time employee. It may not cost the same as five full-time employees, but it’s going to cost you something, and that has to be… Just like you would absorb an employee’s salary into your, your however hourly rates or retainers or however you’re doing your pricing, that same thing. The AI needs to be absorbed into that. Chip Griffin: Yeah, and I think, I think ultimately, I mean, first of all, I would agree with you on the, the first jobs thing. If I think back to my first job, in an agency as a junior account executive, I can’t think of more than 5% of my job that I did back then that, that today Yeah. Can still be done. And, and some of it’s because of AI’s not just, you know, technology has Sure. Has improved. I mean, nobody’s standing there at the photocopier. That’s nothing to do with AI. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: But, you know, good luck finding a photocopier most of the time, even if you need one. And so, you know, those are the, the kinds of things technology has, has completely replaced a lot of what we did. And AI is just accelerating that even further. So certainly those kinds of jobs are not there. And, and I think that it’s fair to say that, that a college graduate going to work for the first time in an agency is, is really going in from a functional level at a, at about a level above where, where you and I started back in the day. And so fundamentally that means the skill sets are different, right? Because when you, when you’re that level up, you are doing more editing than creating, you are doing more guiding than doing. It doesn’t mean that you’ve gone, you know, completely all the way to being just a manager. You know, not people aren’t just gonna jump right in and just be managers. Let’s be realistic here. You do. But the, the kinds of things that you’re doing require a different skillset than what we needed going in. Because we weren’t doing a lot of editing of other people’s work. We weren’t doing a lot of guiding and checking and, and all of that kind of stuff. We had someone else who was doing that to our work. Now, now you have to know how to do that effectively and to your point. And it’s, it’s not just about the prompting. It’s understanding what you’re getting back and then how to re-prompt, how to tweak, how to get the most out of it, how to make sure that it actually makes sense, whatever’s come back. Because I mean, AI has come a long way in the last year. It doesn’t mean that everything that it does should be immediately blasted out to the universe. And that’s not just because of factual stuff. It may be just sometimes the tone isn’t quite right, or, or maybe it misses the point slightly because you didn’t give it enough information to begin with, and so you need to be able to look at it and have that level of judgment to understand when you need to apply human editing or when you need to ask the, the AI to take another stab at it or to do whatever you need to do to get the quality that the client is expecting. And I think, but it, it needs to be priced into your, your total cost of doing business, single invoice, not separate line items for all of this. Because I think to you, as soon as you start getting into, to separate line items for it, you put yourself in a difficult position to adapt as needed. And the reality is that none of us really knows what the, the innards of an agency in 24 or 36 months is gonna look like. We all have pretty good guesses, right? I mean, but, but the reality is we just don’t know for sure. And so we can’t put ourselves in a box by specifying here’s what it costs or say, Hey, we’re just gonna pass through these costs for the markup or those kinds of things. It needs to be factored into your cost of doing business. And on that note, I think we’ve provided some good food for thought and hopefully you’ll be able to think about pricing in perhaps a way that is a little more. I don’t know, rational, thoughtful, and more usable than what the holding companies are currently thinking or maybe have ever thought. But any case, I’m Chip Griffin for myself and Gini Dietrich. This has been another episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast, and it depends.

Prayer Doesn't Always Change Outcomes, But It Always Changes Us Living Compass Spirituality and Wellness Podcast Lent 2026 Series: Cultivating Healing and Wholeness in Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind Episode Summary What happens when the healing we pray for doesn't come? In this episode, Scott Stoner — pastor, therapist, and founder of Living Compass — explores one of the most honest and tender questions in the spiritual life. Drawing on decades of walking with people through serious illness, disability, and dying, Scott reflects on the crucial distinction between cure, healing, and wholeness, and why prayer remains transformative even when outcomes don't change. Key Themes The difference between physical cure and deeper spiritual and emotional healing Why prayer changes us even when it doesn't change our circumstances Holding grief and anger honestly as part of authentic faith The "container" metaphor: how the spiritual life expands our capacity to hold suffering Walking with others through illness as its own form of healing ministry Quote of the Episode "Prayer doesn't always change outcomes, but it always changes us." Featured Prayer Scott reads the Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer (p. 461), from the Ministry to the Sick: "This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen" (BCP, p. 461).   Resources Mentioned

LESSON 71Only God's Plan For Salvation Will Work.You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe in it.The ego's plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that, if someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus, the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. Each grievance you hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe, that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The change of mind necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself.The role assigned to your own mind in this plan, then, is simply to determine what, other than itself, must change if you are to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable provided that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has always failed, there is still grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success.Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it where it is not?God's plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise, your purpose is divided and you will attempt to follow two plans for salvation that are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can only bring confusion, misery and a deep sense of failure and despair.How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must succeed.Let us practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail.Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the first. And in the first is your full release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to free yourself. They have led to depression and anger; but God's plan will succeed. It will lead to release and joy.Remembering this, let us devote the remainder of the extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very specifically:What would You have me do?Where would You have me go?What would You have me say, and to whom?Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some willingness to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to God's answer.In the shorter practice periods, tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of today's idea:Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation.And only His plan will work.Try to remember today's idea some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better way to spend a half minute or less than to remember the Source of your salvation, and to see It where It is.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 71Only God's Plan For Salvation Will Work.You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe in it.The ego's plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that, if someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus, the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. Each grievance you hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe, that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The change of mind necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself.The role assigned to your own mind in this plan, then, is simply to determine what, other than itself, must change if you are to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable provided that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has always failed, there is still grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success.Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it where it is not?God's plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise, your purpose is divided and you will attempt to follow two plans for salvation that are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can only bring confusion, misery and a deep sense of failure and despair.How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must succeed.Let us practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail.Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the first. And in the first is your full release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to free yourself. They have led to depression and anger; but God's plan will succeed. It will lead to release and joy.Remembering this, let us devote the remainder of the extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very specifically:What would You have me do?Where would You have me go?What would You have me say, and to whom?Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some willingness to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to God's answer.In the shorter practice periods, tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of today's idea:Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation.And only His plan will work.Try to remember today's idea some six or seven times an hour.

There's war in the middle east and there will be huge impacts on your portfolio! Today we talk about how war-related uncertainty and conflicting economic signals are creating unusual market behavior, making it difficult for investors to interpret short-term movements. Broad market declines across many asset classes can indicate de-leveraging rather than money simply rotating elsewhere, and geopolitical tensions, rising oil prices, weakening job data, and potential stagflation risks are adding pressure to the economy. While some sector rotation into energy, commodities, and defensive assets is occurring, be wary that wartime conditions disrupt normal market trends, making strategies like "buying the dip" risky. Now is the time for risk management as preserving capital during periods of uncertainty is often more important than trying to time short-term market moves.  We discuss... How misinformation, AI-generated content, and limited reliable sources make it difficult to understand what is actually happening during geopolitical conflicts. How negative political messaging often backfires psychologically because the human brain tends to ignore the word "not" and focus on the core concept. The unusually volatile week in markets, where prices swung sharply day-to-day despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Markets do not always react logically to major events like wars, with assets sometimes moving in unexpected directions. A key explanation for broad market declines was de-leveraging, where leveraged positions are unwound and excess liquidity effectively disappears from the system. Investors rarely know the full reasons behind short-term market movements because many institutional trades occur behind the scenes. "Buying the dip" works in bull markets but can lead to significant losses during bear markets or uncertain environments. During wartime conditions traditional market frameworks often break down, making predictions especially unreliable. Reduce risk exposure and avoid aggressive trades until geopolitical uncertainty becomes clearer. Recent economic data show job losses and rising unemployment, which adds pressure to an already fragile economic outlook. Capital is rotating into defensive areas such as energy, commodities, defense stocks, and gold. Market rotations are normal in healthy markets but can become distorted when geopolitical shocks occur. Holding cash can be a strategic decision during uncertain markets rather than a missed opportunity. How falling interest rates could eventually lower mortgage rates and trigger more activity in the housing market. Investors should focus on protecting capital and managing downside risk during periods of extreme uncertainty.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/investors-are-fleeing-into-this-sector-797 

The 2026 edition of the World Baseball Classic has already provided a few memorable moments for teams across the globe. However, on Monday night we might have seen the biggest upset of the tournament so far when Team Italy took down powerhouse Team USA, which has left us all wondering how it happened. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap the incredible win by the Italians and discuss how the United States could now find itself knocked out of the tournament based on the results of Italy's game with Mexico tonight. They also get into whether some of the moves that manager Mark DeRosa made prior to the game were influenced by the possibility that the USA squad believed it had already clinched their ticket to the next round. Later, Jake and Jordan preview the epic showdown for seeding between the Dominican Republic and Venezuela tonight that will determine who will play Japan and Korea in the quarterfinals, as well as Canada taking on Cuba in their final pool matchup. Then the guys discuss the Philadelphia Phillies giving a five-year contract extension to starter Jesús Luzardo and the Cincinnati Reds losing Hunter Greene to injury until the summer. 1:15 - The Opener: Italy upsets USA 12:28 - Tiebreaker scenarios for USA 18:47 - We Need To Talk About: DeRosa messes up 40:17 - DR vs. Venezuela preview 47:37 - Cuba vs. Canada preview 52:03 - Phillies extend Luzardo 55:50 - Hunter Greene out until summer Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The courtroom evidence in the Kouri Richins trial is one thing. What the jury is actually absorbing is another. Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke break down the specific moments and pieces of testimony that are going to follow those twelve jurors into deliberations — and why some of it is going to be nearly impossible to set aside.Two texts are at the center of this discussion. One Kouri sent to her boyfriend roughly two weeks before Eric died: "If he could just go away and you could just be here." One she sent to her friend Chelsea Barney after suspicions arose: "If I die, Eric did it." This panel examines what those texts do to a jury psychologically — and whether any amount of context argument can neutralize them.Also on the table: the retreat journal Kouri wrote about herself in third person, describing a marriage that exhausted her and a life that kept falling apart. The defense put the whole document in front of the jury. What were they hoping it would do — and did it? Plus the Celebration of Life the night after Eric died, where witnesses described the scene as completely normal, and Kouri reportedly tried to open his safe. What does "normal" behavior actually tell a jury in a case like this?Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon Chadwick explores one of the earliest patterns survivors often describe in abusive relationships: boundary testing. Sometimes the first sign something is wrong isn't a fight — it's the moment you say no… and somehow, a little while later, your answer changes. This episode breaks down how these early boundary violations happen, why survivors often go along with them in the moment, and how these seemingly small tests can become the foundation for much larger patterns of control.

Today’s Bible Verse: “I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.” — Psalm 77:1–2 Psalm 77:1–2 captures the honesty of a heart in deep distress. The psalmist doesn’t hide the struggle—he cries out repeatedly, reaching for God in the middle of sleepless nights and overwhelming emotion. It’s a picture of persistent prayer when comfort feels distant. “Want to listen without ads?

Joy, honesty, and so much laughter fill this conversation with Kim Michell. You could call her a prophetic comedian — she carries deep wisdom but delivers it with the kind of joy that makes you exhale.7 years ago, Kim began the hardest journey of her life when she lost her husband to colon cancer. She shares how God partnered with her in her grief, how prayer became her anchor, and how she learned not to live consumed by the pain. “If I'm not praying about it, I'm not thinking about it,” she says — and that simple rhythm has shaped her healing.We also talk about parenting, creating a safe space for our kids, and what it looks like to lead with both strength and softness.Learn more about There is More: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thereismorecollective.com/Check Out Our Resources, including the Father's House Study, Go to Girls, and the Spiritual Warfare Workshop: https://thereismorecollective.com/resourcesGet 10% discount on Father's House Study with code: FH10Follow There is More Podcast on Instagram: @thereismorepodcastPartner With Us: ⁠⁠https://neveralonewidows.kindful.com/?campaign=1284937⁠

Host Erin Kerry welcomes minister, teacher, and author of Mourning God, Tiffany Stein, to discuss the complex intersection of grief, faith, and lament. After the devastating loss of her infant son, Tiffany found herself mourning not only her child, but also the version of God she believed she understood. Together, Erin and Tiffany explore why lament is a deeply biblical response to suffering, why the modern church often struggles to sit with grief, and how Scripture offers a framework for processing pain without abandoning faith. Rather than offering quick spiritual clichés, this episode invites listeners to discover the God who enters our sorrow, mourns with us, and walks with us through the darkness toward healing. If you've ever felt abandoned by God in your pain—or struggled to understand suffering through the lens of faith—this conversation offers both honesty and hope. Key Topics - Tiffany Stein's journey from ministry leadership to first-time author - The inspiration behind Mourning God after the loss of her son - Mourning the God you thought you knew during deep grief - Why faith crises often accompany traumatic loss - The problem with common Christian platitudes about suffering - Why the modern church struggles to sit with grief and lament - Biblical examples of lament in Psalms and Job - A biblical pattern for processing grief through lament - Holding sorrow and hope together in the Christian life - How community and faith support healing after devastating loss Links: Website: tiffanystein.com Book: https://www.tiffanystein.com/mourninggod Join Erin's monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin's new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/

This is episode 2112, and today we are talking about something that most people quietly fear but rarely question.Aging is a gift.We live in a world where entire industries benefit from you not wanting to age. The fitness industry and the beauty industry are multi billion dollar machines that often market against your insecurities. They profit when you do not like who and what you see in the mirror.There is nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearance. There is nothing wrong with wanting to change how you look. The real question is where is that desire coming from?Are you leading with appreciation, kindness, and compassion toward yourself? Or are you hoping that one more change will finally make you feel worthy?In this episode I talk about loving who and what you see at every stage. Not in a delusional way. In an honest way. Holding yourself accountable while still leading with compassion. That foundation is what creates genuine confidence.Confidence is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting yourself to figure things out when you do not.Most of you listening are in your mid thirties and beyond. You have been through things. You have made mistakes. You have learned lessons the hard way. Forgive yourself. Experience is not something to be ashamed of. It is something to appreciate.If you are comfortable in your own skin, standards lose their pull. When you appreciate who you are, marketing against insecurity loses power.This is the inside/out approach. How you feel about yourself drives the actions you take, especially on a weight loss journey. Develop consistency as a skill. Build a lifestyle you actually enjoy. Stop trying to convince yourself to like something that does not fit you.If this resonates with you, subscribe to the podcast, rate and review, and share it with someone who needs this reminder.
