David & Sherie talk more about why a history of inequality or power imbalance can affect recovery now. How our ultimate goal is to find better balance so there's healthy reconciliation in the process. We explore why some women may feel so strongly about using what's happened to maintain control instead of seeking to really understand their partner struggling with addiction. Honesty is vital, as is knowing why what's happened has happened.
Send us a textEver notice how the promise of “better gear” turns into a respectable way to procrastinate? We start with light banter and land in a deeper pocket: grief, loneliness, and the quiet work of rebuilding routines when life changes. That flows into a theme we kept circling—how durability and simplicity create momentum. A heavy, pink Schwinn becomes transport and training; old leather boots outlast the trend cycle; a ruck that's beat to hell still gets you out the door. When your tools are reliable, you stop obsessing over them and finally focus on the doing.On the field, we break down what actually keeps kids engaged: safety first, games over lectures, and a standard of intensity that reveals the real gaps. Honesty isn't harsh; it's a relief. Give a young athlete trust without the asterisk, and watch them rise. We talk psychology of taking the shot—why permission to fail produces courage—and how resilience beats perfection in golf, soccer, and cycling. The greats don't tighten up under pressure; they keep the same mind on hard days that they have on easy ones. Miss a shot, make the next one. That's the edge.We also challenge a popular myth about passion. Instead of forcing a career around something you like in theory, follow your strengths and let passion grow where competence compounds. It's a pragmatic way to protect your energy while still leaving room for art, sport, and adventure. The through line is clear: don't let analysis masquerade as progress. Choose tools that last, build habits that travel, and act before the perfect plan arrives.We close with a question meant to stick: what is lost in giving up? Consider the exact shape of what would disappear if you stopped—skills not yet built, teammates not yet inspired, a steadier version of you not yet earned. Enjoyed the conversation? Follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your answer to that question.
Send us a textGrow to love yourself!I like what Bianca shares. Honesty. She is a licensed Mental Health Counselor and Co-Founder of The Evolve Ventures Podcast and Business. She is also the Director of Therapy for Evolve Ventures Technologies LLC.She speaks to the relationship with self. Growing up in a chaotic home and being a scapegoat led Bianca to pursue this path. She shares that she has Borderline Personality Disorder. She struggled with what may have been "bulimarexia," and we touch on self-harm, abusive relationships, being a rebel, and trying to escape.Bianca shared that body image, and particularly in the Middle Eastern world, is very prevalent, and many women will get plastic surgery to look good for their potential spouse.It's prevalent everywhere. Older women are leaning towards Botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, and so on because it's a societal and social media thing. I loved how brutally honest Bianca was when I told her I was going through some big life changes, some great, but some really bothersome, and she asked me if it triggered my bulimia. It didn't at all. She said I was one of the lucky ones.I wish that luck on everyone who has recovered and will recover. It was there at the beginning... three years or so, but after soon to be 15 years, it's not even a thought to go to when struggles that used to trigger my bulimia even go there.Truth is, Bianca may be right. I may be blessed with not feeling like going back to bulimia at all. Not dieting at all. Just, I guess, one of my go tos is ChatGPT. Sorry, but true. If struggling, I speak to that AI program and ask for a soothing poem, or even if I am wrong in feeling what I do. Wish there was a ChatGPT way back in the 80s. I know it's not a therapist, but when you can't afford one, and you look for some semblance of normalcy in your life, it's my go-to. Not food. However, it took me time to get here, and 30 years of bulimia to know I don't want to go back, that there are better ways.Bianca is a better way if you are still struggling. You need a personal connection. That is how I healed. And the rest is a journey forward to enjoying life and dinners with family without the "human cameras" waiting for you to disappear. To actually enjoy food and company at the same time.I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed being there and interacting with Bianca.You can find her at the link below:https://evolveventurestech.com/evolve-ventures-coaching/therapy-2/On Instagram @evolvewithBiancavia email: bianca@evolveventurestech.comWonderful conversation and loved, as I am repeating myself, honesty.Thank you, Bianca!!BE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training If you're one of the many owners concerned that AI will end the agency model, what are you doing to stay relevant? How are you building lasting relationships that help clients see your value beyond executing tasks? Artificial intelligence, automation, and enterprise-level change have everyone in the agency world wondering what's next. However, agencies have managed to stay relevant with past technological disruptions and the answer has always been: you need to adapt. Today's featured guest has scaled his business through seven iterations for over fourteen years by being willing to adapt to change, and the AI era is no exception. He'll unpack how agencies can stay relevant when technology, data, and client expectations are evolving faster than ever. He also talks about the importance of partnership-based client relationships and why soft skills (not just smart systems) are the real differentiator in the next decade. Ben Childs is the President of Digital Reach, a full-stack B2B marketing consultancy serving SaaS, cybersecurity, AI, and data-driven technology clients. With deep expertise in paid media, SEO, RevOps, and digital experience, Ben's team helps enterprise companies integrate their marketing, data, and operations to drive real revenue growth. Since launching in 2011, Digital Reach has evolved through multiple "versions" as it adapted to the changing marketing landscape, becoming one of the most respected players in modern B2B marketing. In this episode, we'll discuss: The soft skills edge that outperforms AI. Why you should start running toward the problem. The power of in-person connections in a remote-forward industry. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. How Agencies Can Stay Relevant in AI Revolution At a recent Ad Week event, Ben heard a fellow agency leader predict that all agencies would be "dead in two years" because of AI. Her point: enterprise companies are developing their own language models and internal data systems, cutting agencies out of the picture. Ben does admit this is true. However, his outlook is more optimistic, seeing several possible solutions. Should agencies be partnering with third-party data providers? Should they adjust their skill set? In his view, the need for strategic expertise and technical problem-solving won't disappear anytime soon. The agencies that thrive will be those who adapt to new tools while deepening their human value—helping clients navigate complexity, not just execute tasks. "The reality," Ben explains, "is that hiring people to help you solve hard problems isn't going away. Business is always changing, and that's a huge opportunity for agency owners willing to think and integrate, not panic." Why Soft Skills Outperform AI in the Agency World As agencies evolve, the differentiator isn't going to be who can use AI faster, it's who can understand and support people better. When it comes to enterprise clients, marketing execution has become table stakes. What truly sets a great agency apart is the ability to navigate organizational politics, manage internal friction, and act as a trusted advisor inside complex companies. "We're armchair psychologists half the time," he laughs. "Our clients know we're good at SEO or paid media. What they really need is someone who helps them get things approved, makes their life easier, and has their back when things get tough." Soft problems will never go away and, Ben argues, may even increase in value when the execution problems potentially become commoditized. Agencies that ignore human connection will lose, just like traditional firms that refused to go digital twenty years ago. In the end, the "people part" never goes out of style. Adapting Your Agency: Lessons from 7 Business Iterations Ben started Digital Reach in 2011 using his grandmother's dresser as a desk and charging $200 a month for Google Ads management. Since then, the agency has reinvented itself seven times—each evolution aligning to new markets, services, and technologies. From scrappy freelancer to B2B consultancy, Ben's philosophy has stayed the same: build, learn, and change before you're forced to. "We're on Digital Reach 7.0 in 14 years," he says. "We'll probably hit version 12.0 in the next ten. You can't just ride your old business idea into Valhalla. Some people will always be better at adapting, and that will never change." WhyPartnership (Not Performance) Determines Client Retention When agencies talk about "partnership," it often sounds like marketing fluff. But Ben explains that true partnership is built on trust and reliability, not just metrics. Most clients don't fire agencies because of poor performance; they leave because of broken trust, poor communication, or lack of understanding. "When clients say, 'You don't get our business,' that's when numbers start to matter," Ben explains. "If they can't trust you when things go wrong, you're done." Ben understands that helping clients solve internal problems like procurement delays or team politics can do more to build loyalty than a great campaign. Running toward the problem, taking ownership, and communicating transparently are the fastest ways to strengthen relationships that last across multiple companies. Build Client Trust Fast by Running Toward the Problem Other than delivering results and making your clients' lives easier, Ben believes another powerful way to build trust is not being afraid to admit your mistakes and being quick to fix them. Honesty builds staying power. When agencies take responsibility for missteps and present a clear plan for fixing them, clients respond with respect, not resentment. Do not avoid the problem. In fact, you should run towards the problem and face the situation head on. You'll get more benefit of the doubt from clients with this attitude. Ben's team once led a client call with bad news—the metrics were down. Instead of hiding it, they explained what went wrong, what they learned, and how they'd adjust. "The client was ready to run through a wall for us after that," he says. "They loved that we owned it." The Power of In-Person Connection in a Remote-Forward Industry As agencies lean more into remote work, Ben calls for agencies to make an effort to meet with clients in person: "In-person will always be in vogue." It'll help your clients understand who you are, rather than just staring at your picture on Zoom, and trying to form a true connection. He encourages owners to set a clear revenue threshold for when to invest in face-to-face meetings—whether that's a kickoff, annual review, or shared conference. When clients meet you over pizza and a drink, it transforms the relationship from vendor to partner. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In this episode, we sit down with Peta Kelly for a raw, deeply human exploration of what it truly means to live in alignment with God's design. Peta opens up about her upbringing as an eldest daughter in a tough environment, her meteoric rise in the holistic health world, and the long road of shedding the “boss babe” identity to reclaim her femininity, her faith, and her integrity. We explore motherhood without perfectionism, raising resilient children in a fragile culture, letting go of wellness neurosis, and trusting the innate intelligence of the body. With her trademark honesty, humor, and self-awareness, Peta speaks to the beauty, the messiness, and the liberation found in radical self-honesty. This is a conversation about faith, resilience, womanhood, and rediscovering the simplicity and brilliance of God's design.Time Stamps(00:00 Episode Teaser)(00:36 Opening Conversation)(02:33 Peta Kelly's Background and Achievements)(03:41 Growing Up in Perth)(07:43 Eldest Daughter Responsibilities)(10:19 Peta's Journey to Success)(16:48 Balancing Motherhood and Career)(18:16 Inner Work and Self-Discovery)(24:53 More About Being The Eldest Daughter)(34:48 Parenting in the Modern World)(38:52 Navigating Emotional Challenges with Children)(41:46 Balancing Social Media and Parenting)(46:03 Health and Wellness Perspectives)(59:55 What Is Body Luxury?)(01:14:20 Truth vs. Honesty)(01:21:35 Gender Differences)(01:39:46 The Impact of Social Media)(01:45:29 Final Thoughts and Reflections)Guest Linkshttps://petakelly.com/ https://www.likehoneycomb.com/ (Substack)https://www.instagram.com/petajean_/ Peta's podcast - Good WomenConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

They share stories from a packed live recording at Mosaic NYC, the logistical chaos of hosting events, and the cultural contrast between dense cities like New York and isolated countries like Iceland. From there, the conversation turns toward the risks of political honesty, recalling moments when speaking their convictions cost them friends, clients, and public support. Erwin reflects on the long legacy of political engagement among religious leaders—from Jesse Jackson to Martin Luther King Jr.—and contrasts it with today's climate of censorship, conformity, and moral fragility. Aaron and Erwin discuss the tension between their pastoral roles and their responsibility to address real cultural issues, noting how social media outrage and ideological pressure have made genuine dialogue nearly impossible. Through personal anecdotes, historical context, and candid reflections, they call for a return to intellectual resilience, open disagreement, and meaningful conversation—arguing that without honest discourse, a true democracy cannot thrive.Join the Mind Shift community here: http://erwinmcmanus.com/mindshiftpodFollow On Socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@ErwinRaphaelMcManushttps://instagram.com/mindshiftpodhttps://instagram.com/erwinmcmanushttps://instagram.com/aaroncmcmanusJoin The Newsletter!https://erwinmcmanus.com/newsletter

I have lots of thoughts to share today of things I think we should normalize. Things that aren't considered normal in general in the world we live in and I'm going to argue my point of why I think they should be. For us and for our families and for the people around us. Because our goal is to always strive for fulfillment and joy and health and longevity and peace of mind and all of these ideas I'm going to present to you today support all of that. I'm going to get heat for some of these and I love it because its against the grain and thinking for ourselves and being exceptional. Things To Normalize Normalize saying no to cheap dopamine and yes to deep dopamine. Joy comes from doing what you're built to do. Action over distraction. Delay instant gratification for meaningful payoff. Bring your own food places when you don't like the options. Take ownership of your choices instead of settling for what's easy. Assume people will make mistakes and ask questions, double check things, and take notes. It's not negative. It's responsible. Normalize working hard, including on weekends, when you're pursuing something you believe in. Showing up when it counts matters. Especially at unconventional hours. Normalize not drinking until you throw up. Choose self mastery and presence instead of blackout culture. Clarity over blur. Presence over party. Normalize not having sex until you find someone you deeply respect or want to build a life with. Choose what matches your values instead of what culture expects. Normalize starting something brand new and taking big risks, even when people think it's strange. Launch even when you're scared. Normalize celebrating your wins as big as birthdays. If it mattered to you, it's worth celebrating. Normalize working out seven days a week with rest and stretch built in. Movement is medicine. Make it a daily non negotiable. Normalize questioning teachers, institutions, and systems when something doesn't make sense. Stand up for your kids and yourself with confidence and curiosity. Normalize using your calendar as your measure of wealth. Time matters more than money. Protect it. Normalize defining success for yourself. Choose your own values and live by them with confidence. Normalize being loud, opinionated, and real when something matters. Speak up. Be fiery. Be aligned. Normalize rest and recovery as essential parts of working hard. Rest is productive. Rest gives you your edge. Normalize letting your kids see you hustle, fail, pivot, and rise. Show the process, not perfection. Normalize doing things you're not good at yet. The climb has no peak. Let yourself be a beginner. Normalize saying "I don't know." Honesty and humility create real strength. Normalize choosing your inner circle intentionally. Your environment shapes your growth. Curate it well. Normalize early mornings, disciplined schedules, and foundational habits. Keep life simple and focused. Normalize embracing pain and discomfort as signs you're growing. Lean into growth rather than backing away from it. Normalize enjoying the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Appreciate the now. Joy lives in the doing. Normalize aligning your body, mind, and spirit with your purpose. Success includes health, relationships, and inner peace. Normalize valuing your health as highly as you value your work. Health is foundational to everything else. Normalize being different, weird, or exceptional. Normal actions get normal results. Stand out proudly. Normalize prioritizing sleep, recovery, and emotional wellbeing. Rest deeply and intentionally. Normalize teaching your kids to build their own path. Encourage their independence and confidence. Normalize celebrating vulnerability, asking for help, and being transparent about your journey. Choose authenticity over perfection. CHEERS to creating your own normal that makes your life more awesome!
He flunked Organic Chemistry, bombed his plan to be a doctor, and traded lab coats for liquor bottles — launching a viral wine campaign before he ever knew what “brand strategy” meant. But that failure? It's what turned Alex Strubbe into the marketing mind who believes authenticity sells better than any ad spend.At the University of Texas, Alex was chasing expectations — until life slapped him with a D-minus and an identity crisis. He pivoted to business, interned everywhere, and stumbled into marketing through a campaign called “Will You Accept This Wine?” that blew up. But behind the creativity was chaos: burnout, weight gain, and a version of himself he didn't recognize.A Birthright trip to the Middle East flipped everything. He came home rebuilt — mentally, physically, spiritually — and launched Strubbe Consultants, a business born at the same time he was. His first clients were broke dreamers, not big brands. No ad budgets, no bullshit. Just story, substance, and trust.Now, Strubbe helps founders drop the ego, fire the version of themselves they think they need to be, and build from who they actually are. His motto: “The hoodie converts better than the suit.”Because in business — just like life — pretending doesn't sell.

This conversation dives deep into one of the most uncomfortable and most important parts of discipleship. We get gut honest about generosity, talk through what the Bible actually says about tithing and giving, and unpack why money has such a strong pull on our hearts. You will hear practical stories, real teaching, and the kind of clarity that is hard to give on a Sunday morning. We walk through Malachi 3, Matthew 6, and the difference between returning our tithe and offering our generosity, while also breaking down the misconceptions that keep people stuck.

Douglass Vigliotti, author and creative, explores the tension between doubt and conviction that defines the creative process. Drawing from his parents, his father relentless drive and his mother empathy, Douglass reflects on what it means to pursue creative work when society constantly asks if you want more. This conversation examines the uncomfortable questions creatives must answer about their work, their purpose, and whether they are willing to embrace discomfort in service of something meaningful. From wrestling with exposure to navigating the intersection of art and survival, Douglass offers a candid look at the emotional labor of creating work that matters. Hosted on Acast.

Just before this past the High Holidays, Rabbis Matt, Jeff Weill, and Josh Rose wrestled with a blunt dilemma: when the world feels bleak, what belongs on the bimah—unvarnished realism, performative uplift, or a hard-won mix of both? They talk about shielding kids from despair, writing sermons that don't lie, and whether prayers for captives can honestly say "speedily" years in. Along the way they parse the difference between timeless petitions (peace, redemption) and policy-laden hopes, and ask what prayer means if God isn't a vending machine. From machzor-as-cycle to Judaism-as-forward-motion, from teshuva as "return" to hope as an act of agency, they argue that perspective is one of the few things we truly control. Even in bad times, people still make music, love each other, and build meaning. The episode lands on a clear thesis: if you believe there's hope, you'll act like it—and that behavior is the point.

What happens when a leader's reputation crumbles in the public eye? Can trust ever be rebuilt? In this episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata returns to the archive to for a timely and critical conversation with reputation expert and media coach, Alan Stevens. Using the political firestorm of "Partygate" when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister as a case study, they dissect the catastrophic communication missteps that can shatter a leader's credibility and bring an entire organisation into disrepute. Alan reveals the golden rules of crisis management that were ignored, from the failure to communicate early and honestly to the disastrous "dead cat" strategy of creating distractions. This isn't just about politics; it's a masterclass for any leader in any industry. Discover how to avoid the trap of surrounding yourself with "yes-people," why vulnerability is a superpower, and how to manage your reputation in a world where one wrong move can go viral. Are you prepared for your own ‘Partygate' moment? Key Takeaways What is the very first thing you must do when a crisis hits (that most leaders get disastrously wrong)? Why does the ‘dead cat' strategy of creating a distraction often make a reputational crisis even worse? What is the simple ‘three strikes' rule that can save your reputation from a career-ending social media meltdown? How can welcoming dissenting voices and critics actually become a leader's greatest superpower? Actionable Insights Follow the 'Speed, Honesty, Internal Comms' Rule: In a crisis, get the truth out quickly, starting with your own team, before speculation takes over. Everything you say must be true. Don't cover up the mistake; people forgive errors, but they never forgive a cover-up. Build a 'Challenge Culture': Actively seek out and reward those who challenge your ideas. A leader who surrounds themselves with "yes-people" is building a culture that is blind to risk and destined for a crisis. Schedule time to listen to people on the frontline. Implement a '30-Minute Rule' for Emotional Posts: If you're angry or frustrated online, draft your post or reply but wait 30 minutes before hitting send. This cooling-off period allows you to regain perspective and will almost always prevent you from posting something you'll regret.

Settle Accounts While There's Time: St. Paul's Honesty and Christ's Deliverance Today's Homily reflects on two Scripture passages . . . . . . St. Paul's candid confession of his inner struggle (Romans) and Jesus' call to read the signs of the times (Luke). St. Paul admits that although he desires to do good, he often fails, revealing the inner conflict between grace and the lingering effects of sin. His honesty shows that even the greatest saints struggle internally, reminding us that the Christian life is not a self-improvement project but a reliance on Christ, who alone delivers us from our divided selves. The Homily then helps us to connect this with Jesus' teaching about interpreting signs. People easily read the weather or social cues yet fail to recognize God's movements in their own lives. Jesus urges His listeners to discern the spiritual signs around them and respond. Discern the Spiritual Signs Jesus warns that our lives are moving toward a final judgment, likening it to walking with an adversary toward a magistrate. Therefore, we must “settle accounts” now through repentance, charity, and works of mercy. The Homily also touches on the Church's understanding of purgatory . . . where remaining spiritual debts are purified . . . and highlights the importance of praying for the dead. Ultimately, both readings invite believers to face their own struggles honestly, remain attentive to God's grace, and live now in a way that prepares them for their final meeting with the Lord.

Part three of the "Healing, Health, and Wholeness" series. Special guest, Pastor Chad Braswell from Metro Church in Marlborough, MA gives several points on what BREAKTHROUGH requires. There is NO BREAKTHROUGH without HONESTY.
In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B opens with a candid breakdown of how the recent government shutdown has thrown travel into chaos—from delayed flights to system failures—setting the stage for a conversation rooted in both humor and frustration [00:00 Government Shutdown and Travel Chaos]. She shares her own travel nightmare, using the experience to highlight how political decisions trickle down to everyday inconveniences, especially for frequent travelers. The episode transitions into the delicate territory of weight gain in relationships, where Mandii discusses how partners often struggle with honesty, sensitivity, and boundaries when broaching the topic [18:29 Navigating Weight Conversations in Relationships]. She unpacks the emotional complexity behind body changes, emphasizing communication over criticism and the importance of approaching loved ones with empathy rather than judgment. As the conversation deepens, Mandii explores family dynamics during the holidays, especially for queer individuals navigating acceptance, identity, and the pressure of returning home to families who may not fully understand or respect their experiences [29:14 Family Dynamics and Queer Identity During Holidays]. She reflects on the emotional labor that marginalized people often carry during these gatherings and encourages listeners to honor their own comfort and boundaries. The episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion on microaggressions and diversity in the workplace, where Mandii breaks down the subtle biases that marginalized employees encounter and how companies frequently fall short in fostering truly inclusive environments [36:40 Microaggressions and Workplace Diversity Issues]. She stresses the need for accountability, open dialogue, and intentional change—both in corporate culture and in personal interactions. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media @jayjurden Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhen Arend was pistol-whipped during a drug deal gone wrong, it wasn't the first time he'd stared down a gun. But it was one of the moments that forced him to look at what his life had become.Raised by a single mother in a home marked by violence and survival, Arend grew up watching abuse, bouncing between cities, and learning early how to hide pain. By grade seven, he was drinking at school — chasing the same numbness that had destroyed generations before him.As addiction took hold, Arend hustled, dealt cocaine, and was nearly killed more than once. But it wasn't until his father died — and he watched someone overdose beside the hospital bed — that the reality of addiction hit home.Now more than a decade sober, Arend speaks openly about trauma, accountability, forgiveness, and the hard truth that healing doesn't happen when we blame others. It begins when we finally look inward.This is the story of a man who turned pain into purpose — and learned that real strength means allowing yourself to feel.✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental HealthParenting in the StormFind Arend on Facebook HERESupport the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Longevity in golf—and life—comes from perspective, self-compassion, and gratitude. Be your own best friend. The relationship you have with yourself defines performance. Talk to yourself like someone you care about: first person, not third person. Focus on intermediate goals to avoid burnout and stay emotionally steady. Failure is a teacher, not a threat—learn, adapt, and build resilience. Honesty is the foundation of growth; surround yourself with people who tell you the truth. Process beats pressure: control what you can, trust what you've practiced. Breathing and a consistent pre-shot routine are your anchors under stress. Tournament golfers don't make excuses—they take ownership and stay adaptable. Gratitude keeps you grounded. "If you don't have gratitude, you're not paying attention." Key Quotes: "It's not what you say to everyone else—it's what you whisper to yourself. "The longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself. Be your own best friend." "Most success stories are built on overwhelming amounts of failure." "Winning is affirmation—but it's short-lived. The real victory is showing up again tomorrow." "Don't worry about it. Nobody really cares that much." "Tournament golfers don't believe in bad breaks—they just play the next shot."

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – America faces a call to return to honesty and hard work. Voters stay home while the opposition organizes, flipping long-held seats.

The future belongs to those willing to act, not complain...
“I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.” (Job 27:6 NLT) If your relationship with Christ is strong, it will be evident in the way you live. Your life will be marked by integrity—in the choices you make, the things you prioritize, the way you interact with others, and in your daily routine. I heard the story of a pastor who boarded a bus one morning, paid his fare, and took his seat. A few minutes later, he realized that the driver had given him too much change. Some people might have put it in their pocket and said, “Lord, thank You for Your provision.” But this pastor knew that would be wrong. At the next stop, he walked to the front of the bus with the extra change and said to the driver, “Excuse me, sir, you gave me too much change, and I wanted to return it to you because obviously you made a mistake.” The driver said, “Pastor, I didn’t make a mistake. I was at your church last night and heard you preach on honesty. I wanted to see if you practiced what you preached.” Fortunately, he did. People are watching you as a Christian, virtually scrutinizing your every move. You should know that they aren’t hoping that you’ll be a godly witness. They’re hoping that you’ll slip up so that they’ll have something on which to conveniently hang their doubts and unbelief. Humorist Will Rogers said, “So live that you wouldn’t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.” That’s the idea of integrity: having nothing in our lives to be ashamed of. Personal integrity is something we develop daily with every thought we think and every action we take. We are either building up character or tearing it down. The author of Proverbs had a lot to say on the subject. “People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed” (Proverbs 10:9 NLT). “Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people” (Proverbs 11:3 NLT). “The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them” (Proverbs 20:7 NLT). “Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich” (Proverbs 28:6 NLT). Job got to the heart of the matter when he said, “I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live” (Job 27:6 NLT). And the apostle Peter wrote, “Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ” (1 Peter 3:16 NLT). Some people cling to the notion that what a person does in private is no one else’s business because it affects no one else. But that’s just wishful thinking. The person you are in private is the real you. That’s who God sees. And, whether we like it or not, that’s who others see as well. So, as believers, we must act with integrity, honesty, and compassion in everything we do. Reflection question: What does integrity look like in your life?

Hey Heal Squad! Today we're joined by Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni to dive deep into the realities of the caregiving experience. The everyday challenges that the Willis family has been experiencing since Bruce Willis was diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The two have both cared for loved ones through dementia and FTD, and are now on a mission to support the caregivers who often feel invisible. PLUS, we break down the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, the emotional roller coaster caregivers are never prepared for, and the hard decisions families face when care needs evolve. Whether you're a caregiver, love someone who needs support, or want to protect your brain health now, you don't want to miss this one! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Caregivers can't pour from an empty cup: When you constantly prioritize everyone else's needs over your own, your body eventually keeps the score. Prioritizing your sleep, nutrition, movement, and connection isn't selfish. Connection is medicine: Isolation is one of the fastest ways a caregiver's mental and physical health can decline. Staying plugged into community, friends, and emotional support helps you regulate stress and remember you're not carrying this alone. Honesty with kids builds safety: When a parent declines, hiding the truth creates confusion, fear, and internalized blame. Speaking gently, directly, and age-appropriately helps children process what's happening and gives them the emotional tools to stay resilient through change. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!

This week, Jason is joined by content creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most authentic and impactful voices in fashion, Remi Bader! From her viral realistic hauls that changed how millions think about clothing to launching her own size inclusive fashion line Edited by Remi Bader at Sam's Club, she has proven the power of authenticity and advocacy. Her collection was so successful, it expanded from a hundred stores to 200 and has continued that mission by building her own brand Fangirl. Remy has redefined what it means to merge influence with impact, showing how social media power can spark lasting change in the fashion industry. Remi Bader dives into the unconventional path that led her from PR and marketing to becoming one of the most recognizable names in fashion and content creation. She opens up about getting fired early in her career, why she initially thought fashion wasn't her space, and how creating videos during one of her lowest points unexpectedly launched her online success. Remi shares the full-circle moment of landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, how she spent all her early income on Uber and food delivery, and her resistance to being labeled an influencer. She details how UTA convinced her to go full-time into content creation, her days working as a fit model, and the whirlwind of balancing viral fame with mental health. Remi reflects on building her career completely on her own, the importance of never burning bridges, and how LinkedIn played a surprising role in her growth. She also gets candid about her collaboration with her dad (and why she'll never do business with family again), staying true to her values regardless of body size, prioritizing health, setting boundaries, and the story behind her brand, Fangirl. Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
