Send us a textMaria thinks copying answers from her teacher's book is “no big deal”—until a cookie caper with her little sister, Yo-Yo, makes the truth impossible to hide. Later in Sabbath School, the Shoebox Kids study Achan's story and learn that God sees everything and wants honest hearts. Maria realizes she needs to tell the truth, too. A relatable story about temptation, telling the truth, and how God helps us choose integrity even when no one is watching. Talk about it:Why did Maria think copying the answers didn't matter at first?How did Yo-Yo's “chocolate on her face” help Maria see her own mistake?What does Achan's story teach us about hidden choices?What is one honest choice you can make this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

This week, I sat down with Rachel Coburn, a fractional marketing leader who's worked with some of the biggest names in health and wellness, including AG1 and Happy V, to talk about what it really takes to build brands that last beyond the hype.We cover growth, brand strategy, and what happens when the pursuit of “acquisition at all costs” starts eroding trust. Rachel brings the kind of honesty and experience that every marketer needs to hear, because she's been on both sides of the equation. From running performance channels to building full marketing ecosystems, her perspective hits hard: retention starts at acquisition, and brand equity starts with truth.Rachel opens up about why the DTC space has lost some of its transparency and how brands can get it back. We talk about the balance between performance and authenticity, why marketing ops deserve way more credit than they get, and how to keep growth and retention teams working together instead of in silos. She also shares her advice for early-stage founders, from who to hire first to why you should bring a CX expert into the conversation before launch, not after.We also dig into creativity and process, two things Rachel refuses to separate. She calls herself a “process freak,” but it's her eye for brand storytelling and love of cinematic content that makes her stand out. Whether she's talking about AI in marketing or the art of a well-crafted ad, Rachel's take is clear: real connection always beats shortcuts.If you're building a brand, leading a marketing team, or rethinking what growth should look like in 2025, this episode is packed with lessons you'll actually want to use.

In Day 100 of the Mussar Mondays series, Rabbi Wolbe begins the Gate of Remembrance in Orchos Tzaddikim, emphasizing its foundational role in society, ethics, and spirituality. He explains that remembrance enables business, loyalty, and gratitude, preventing harm and fostering trust. Stories like Colin Powell's pro-Jewish stance (due to a Jewish family's kindness) and Mark Twain's truth quote illustrate the trait's power. Key themes include:Essential for Existence: Without remembrance, society collapses, as lending, business, and relationships fail (Deuteronomy 8:11) (0:33–2:30).Loyalty and Prevention of Harm: Recalling benefits curbs ingratitude and harm, as in the Chofetz Chaim's story of vivid childhood memories (2:30–4:44).Practical Applications: Remember pledges, confidences, debts, and Hashem constantly (Psalms 16:8). Daily blessings maintain divine awareness, even in secular settings (6:08–23:46).Truth and Memory: Truth simplifies remembrance; falsehoods lead to inconsistencies, as in Rabbi Moshe Feinstein's case (8:06–10:55).Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 29, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

 From our recovery time depends our success…Imagine you are boxing and get a hit that hurts you so much…Do you think you can still fight with the same power and speed?Or do you feel rather more handicapped and so your enemy can knock you down? And that is life… The best stock-market traders have the shortest recovery time…After the coronavirus crises, many firms are on the edge to bankruptcy or bankrupt…The losers are regretting; the winners using the chances to get even richer through a crisis…If you regret your past completely, you can start new and you will see your chances…Otherwise, you see only a dark future and you will miss out opportunities…The worst example is Nikon… Nikon has lost 87% of its profits and 13% of its revenues compared to March 2019 …Still, Nikon is not changing his strategies that have caused their losses… and even give the excuses because of the coronavirus and the flooding in Thailand… What are your excuses? Or what do you regret… Honesty! To think “I regret nothing in my life” will not help without checking what are your emotional and suppressed regrets that held you back? Imagine you again in the ring and got a blow that hurts so much, do you think your positive thinking “I regret nothing” will help? Or would it be much better to train your endurance for taking hits? And that is needed in our life… But first feel the pain and make your regrets…I suggest this Meditation with music that you can download: Link at the end.If you want your power back, make this meditation!Regret Meditation: Breathe chaotic deep in and out with the support of your entire body for 10 minutes.. Breathe deep out with your nose and deep in with your nose and or mouth.While you stand with relaxed and a little bent knees (the knee should bend just only over the whole foot). When you breathe out, you bend the body forward, and your bent arms swing forward and inside.When you breathe in you bend the body backwards, and your bent arms swing backward and outside. (Tabla Rhythm)20 minutes think vividly about your pain and regrets..Release your regrets emotionally and powerfully with the support of your body.If you can't use your voice, make it remote… (Minimal music)10 minutes shake your body. Shake your regrets and negativities out. (African drums)10 minutes sit in mediation with your back straight. (Indian Flute)10 minutes dance and celebrate. (spiritual Disco music)My Video:  Regret the past until the past is gone… https://youtu.be/V0VwwKNKDqYMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Regret-the-past-until-the-past-is-gone.mp3

Pastor Kelly Soiles teaches that forgiveness is a courageous, ongoing practice empowered by Jesus, beginning with honestly naming the hurt and handing it to God. She reminds us that forgiveness leads to freedom and quiet joy as we trust Christ more than revenge.

Send us a textAfter the victory at Jericho, Israel expects an easy win at Ai—but the soldiers run away and Joshua falls before God, devastated. God reveals the reason: someone has disobeyed by taking things from Jericho that were meant to be destroyed. By God's choice, the tribes and families come forward until Achan is named. He confesses that he hid silver, gold, and clothes under his tent. Israel removes the sin from the camp, and then—following God's new plan—they return to Ai and win. This sobering story shows that hidden choices can hurt many people, and that God calls His people to honest hearts and obedient lives. Talk about it:Why did Israel lose the first battle at Ai?What did Achan take, and why was hiding it such a big problem?How did God help Joshua after the people obeyed?What is one honest choice you can make this week, even if it's hard?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Hannah Ritchie — one of the most lucid and data-driven voices in climate and sustainability — returns to talk about her new book Clearing the Air: 50 Questions and Answers about Climate.Ben and Hannah explore why honesty builds trust in climate science, why the 1.5 °C target is likely out of reach (and why that's not the end of hope), and China's paradoxical role as both the world's largest emitter and clean-tech powerhouse.They dig into how abundance, not austerity, could define the next phase of climate progress; how to manage renewable energy variability and mineral demand; and why “net zero” may need a more realistic framing.Hannah also shares personal reflections — what she'd tell her 16-year-old self, how she balances optimism with realism, and the daily coastal runs that keep her creative and grounded. The conversation closes with a look at smart philanthropy, innovative climate projects, and the habits that sustain hope and curiosity.An hour of evidence, insight, and grounded optimism — a conversation about how to think clearly, act practically, and stay inspired in a warming world.Transcript and notes: www.thendobetter.com/arts/2025/10/25/clearing-the-air-hannah-ritchie-on-climate-honesty-hope-and-the-future

Whether you're the partner in recovery or the betrayed partner navigating trust issues, this conversation is about more than just telling the truth—it's about reclaiming integrity, safety, and authentic connection. “Honesty isn't just about facts. It's about aligning your inner and outer world—and that's where real healing begins.”In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why lying becomes a default pattern in betrayalThe hidden fears that fuel dishonesty (rejection, shame, loss of control)How dishonesty creates a cycle of disconnection and mistrustPractical steps to build honesty like a muscle—even in low-stakes momentsHow to repair trust through accountability and consistent truth-tellingWhy support systems matter in sustaining honesty and recoveryLying often starts as a survival skill—but it can't coexist with real intimacy.Honesty is a practice, not a one-time choice.Rebuilding trust requires truth, accountability, and self-regulation.Both partners need safe spaces to process pain and grow.Men's Brain-Body Healing Summit — November 6–9, 2025 | Mesa, AZIf you've ever felt stuck in old patterns—even after trying therapy, groups, or self-help—you're not alone.

Can we make honesty great again?This isn't a slogan or some political tagline. It's a real question — one that's been sitting heavy with me lately. After six years of doing The Square Circle Podcast, I've seen a lot — in wrestling, online spaces, and life itself. I've seen how fast people throw away their morals, how quick they are to scream about decency while showing none.This episode — this post — is my honest reflection on where I've been, what I've learned, and where we're headed next.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)To open Season 6 with a bang, we start where most hot takes end: with a self-aware narcissist describing his collapse, the shame behind the mask, and the painstaking choices that made empathy real. Jordan Monroe, a former tech founder turned emotional healing coach, joins us to explore a grounded path out of grandiosity, defensiveness, and reality wars—without dismissing the deep harm survivors endure.We dig into what actually shifts behavior. Jordan explains why many narcissists don't lack empathy so much as defend against it, and how guided “heart-opening” experiences help clients feel another person's pain without spiraling. That visceral “ow” moment rewires daily habits: listening before defending, noticing a partner's needs without being asked, and choosing small acts of care that build trust. If you love someone with narcissistic traits, the boundary playbook here is essential. Jordan's partner models how to stop self-abandoning: pause conversations when defensiveness spikes, withdraw energy from harmful dynamics, and nourish yourself so re-engagement comes from strength. We share practical, incremental boundaries that keep you safe and force clarity, whether the relationship heals or you exit whole. For anyone navigating narcissistic abuse, healing narcissism, or rebuilding intimacy, this is a compassionate, no-nonsense guide anchored in accountability.Don't miss this episode, as this is our last episode with Jacqueline Trumbull!

What does it mean to live with true integrity before God? This powerful exploration of Proverbs 11 uses a fascinating visual of an ancient scale to unlock a profound spiritual truth: God delights in transparency and abhors deception. The passage opens with the striking image of false balances being an abomination to the Lord, while just weights bring Him delight. This isn't merely about honest business dealings—it's a metaphor for how we live our entire lives. Through the clever illustration of M&Ms that look identical but weigh differently, we're confronted with our own tendency to present one thing while hiding another. The text walks us through contrast after contrast: pride versus humility, integrity versus crookedness, kindness versus cruelty. Each pairing reveals that our character isn't just about external actions but about the condition of our hearts. The crooked heart is an abomination, while blameless ways delight God. What makes this message so relevant is its unflinching honesty about how we position ourselves—toward our neighbors, in our business dealings, with our secrets, and especially in our witness. We're challenged to ask: Are we being authentic, or are we like gold jewelry on a pig—beautiful on the outside but fundamentally unclean? The call is clear: transparency, integrity, and genuine vulnerability are what allow others to see Christ in us and ultimately lead to capturing souls for the kingdom.### Sermon Notes**Introduction**- Series: Book of Proverbs- Transition from first nine chapters to the one-liners of Proverbs, emphasizing wisdom in everyday life.- Focus on Proverbs 11, particularly on themes of integrity, honesty, and righteousness.**Key Verses**- Proverbs 11:1: "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight."- Proverbs 11:20: "Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight."**Illustration: M&Ms and Balances**- Demonstration using M&Ms to illustrate unequal weights and measures.- Emphasizes honesty and integrity in dealings — showing the difference between a false balance and a just weight.**Understanding the Context**- Historical use of weights and measures to ensure fairness and integrity.- The biblical mandate for truthful representation in dealings with others.**Themes and Exposition**1. **Integrity and Honesty**  - Importance of being transparent and honest in daily interactions.  - Proverbs 11:3: "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them."2. **Riches vs. Righteousness**  - Proverbs 11:4: Riches are futile in the end; righteousness delivers.  - Wealth should not be ultimate pursuit; leads to false security.3. **Pride and Humility**  - Proverbs 11:2: Pride leads to disgrace, humility to wisdom.  - Importance of maintaining humility in relationships and business.4. **Words and Relationships**  - Proverbs 11:9, 12-13: The impact of words on neighbors and communities.  - Encouragement to be silent and prudent in speech, preserving trust.5. **Guidance and Counsel**  - Proverbs 11:14: Value of wise counsel and collective decision-making.  - The role of community and elders in guiding individual and corporate decisions.6. **Generosity and Kindness**  - Proverbs 11:24-25: Generosity leads to blessings; holding back leads to want.  - Being open-handed with resources creates a culture of abundance and support.7. **Spiritual Pursuits**  - Proverbs 11:30: "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise."  - Parallel to the Great Commission: our role in sharing the Gospel.**Practical Applications**1. **Practice Integrity:** Regularly assess how you conduct business and personal relationships.

In this episode of Hack Your Own PR, Odette Barry is joined by Lucinda McKimm, journalist-turned-podcaster, producer, and co-host of Ready or Not. Lucinda has built one of Australia's most dynamic podcasts exploring the collision of motherhood, career, and feminism. With her background in sports media and branded content at Cricket Australia, plus years of freelancing and yoga teaching on the side, she brings both grit and creativity to a rapidly growing platform that now spans three weekly shows. We dive into the reality of producing high-calibre, independent content while raising kids, setting boundaries in business partnerships, and why personalisation matters more than ever when pitching to Ready or Not. On Hack Your Own PR, we unpack the art and science of media relations, publicity, and storytelling so you can DIY PR, amplify your voice, and share your message. In this episode, Lucinda breaks down: Her journey from journalism student to Cricket Australia, then into podcasting during parental leave How Ready or Not evolved from an interview series into three shows a week (Ready or Not, Witching Hour, and Ask Ready or Not) What it takes to run a podcast brand at professional standard while balancing freelancing and parenting How she and co-host Loz divide roles, manage workflows, and set boundaries (including "no WhatsApp on Wednesdays") The importance of diversity in guest selection and why she actively seeks different motherhood and career stories What makes for a great pitch, and the red flags that guarantee a "no" Key Takeaways: A strong pitch balances both story and audience: either a killer narrative or an engaged following (ideally both). Tailoring matters — if you've never listened to Ready or Not and send a generic pitch, you won't get far. Guests who amplify their own episode can drive as many downloads as "big name" talent. Honesty and openness make for the most compelling conversations — you don't need to have lived through tragedy to tell a meaningful story. Boundaries protect creativity and longevity: clear roles, set days for work, and rules about when not to message are part of their survival strategy. What to Avoid: Spray-and-pray press releases with no reference to Ready or Not's themes or audience. Long, attached PDFs — put the essentials in the email body. Overlapping pitches during book tours without disclosing where else the guest is appearing. Ignoring the importance of story amplification post-release. This episode is a candid masterclass in independent podcasting, building a brand with integrity, and pitching to a show that's fiercely loved by mums navigating the messy middle of ambition and motherhood. This episode is a masterclass in live TV pitching, producer relationships, and how to turn a great story into a compelling segment on Australia's breakfast screens.

Why do people refuse to say what they see, and, what everyone knows…whether or not they're willing to acknowledge it? Is there some benefit to keeping quiet, adhering to the “unwritten rules,” and, is there a time and place to break tradition? Today, I'm joined by Harvard professor, Dr. Steven Pinker to answer these questions. We also discuss the difference between common knowledge and common wisdom, whether or not it's hypocrisy to stay quiet about the unwritten rules, when to be radically honest or complacently quiet, how to judge risk in your honesty, how the “Abeline Paradox” will serve you, and the importance of male initiation. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Welcome and introduction to Steven Pinker 00:45 – Defining “common knowledge” vs. “common sense” 03:11 – “Don't ask, don't tell” and social hypocrisy 07:46 – Cultural shifts and the meaning of hypocrisy 09:41 – Morality, religion, and policy contradictions 11:21 – Hidden hypocrisies: paper bags and escort services 14:07 – How common knowledge shapes power (Taiwan example) 17:05 – “Coming out” and the social costs of honesty 20:10 – Honesty vs. tact in relationships 23:13 – Learning social nuance: autism and empathy 31:00 – Layers of communication and meaning 34:50 – The Abilene paradox and pluralistic ignorance 38:02 – How silence empowers repression 42:42 – Conformity and social conditioning 44:06 – Building virtuous influence as men 47:22 – Civilizing young men and the role of masculinity 51:48 – The crisis of modern manhood 54:08 – Ruthless honesty with compassion (closing) Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

This conversation with Dee Scarano delves into the concept of psychological safety, emphasizing the importance of honesty and vulnerability in communication. Dee shares how fear of judgment can hinder open expression and explore practical strategies for creating an environment where individuals feel safe to share their thoughts. They highlight the significance of anonymity, comfort zones, and standardized formats in fostering inclusivity and collaboration.    Honesty in communication fosters psychological safety. Psychological safety allows individuals to voice their thoughts without fear. Fear of judgment is a significant barrier to open communication. Anonymity is crucial for creating a safe space for sharing ideas. Building comfort zones is essential before encouraging risk-taking. Standardized formats help ensure equal contributions from all participants. Facilitators must create structures that promote psychological safety. Understanding human behavior is key to effective facilitation. Sharing knowledge within the facilitation community is vital. Vulnerability can lead to stronger connections and collaboration.

Learn the three things that lying will adversely do to your life

This one’s a raw and real continuation of the chat Mark and I had in episode 952. Mark’s back in the hot seat talking burnout, identity and doing the bloody work when your brain would rather watch cats play piano. We unpack the homework his coach set him, how much of his worth had hitched itself to work, and what it takes to sit in the mess without judging yourself. We talk fear of loss, walking your talk, Ben and Jerry’s, and why writing it down is where the truth shows up. For me, it was a mirror. For him, it was a line in the sand. Small shifts. Long game. Less performing. More honest living.

@josuevizcay If you live in the past, you miss out on the present. Honesty with ourselves is crucial for growth. Mindset shapes our future and influences our actions. Resilience is key to overcoming challenges in life. Learning from the past helps us avoid repeating mistakes. Embracing the present allows for true personal growth. The journey is as important as the destination. Together, we can build a better future through collaboration. Challenges can be seen as opportunities for growth. Growth often happens outside of our comfort zones.

The three fundamentals of lifestyle, action & communication.In Episode #497 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the core idea of “true confidence” versus the old-school “fake it till you make it confidence” pickup playbook, startling a girl at the gym, how polarisation beats bland small talk, whether beginners sometimes need the “false confidence” phase to accrue the experiences that later support authenticity, why intent and adaptability matter more than scripts, the value of becoming excellent at something you love and how to balance strategic awareness with honest expression.

Living in historical times means truly seeing those who change the world for the better. The Trump approach is finding real solutions. He's sitting on the big chair and that is important. This peace was forged in daylight with real transparency. No secret channels or hidden clauses. Honesty generates trust. Commercial diplomacy and parallel reconstruction are tools. The British Colonialists were there at the start, intervening, interjecting and demanding. Talking facts and proof, without bias, is a rare thing. You will never love each other, but you must live together in peace. Belt And Road framework, with interdependancies, is proving to be a model for others. Capitalizing on turmoil for business and profit. Systems were built to preserve leverage. Fragmented opposition and natural resources are a perfect combination. Elusive borders were part of Middle East history. England decided to put the Jews there. Back then, it was anti-Zionism. They were pawns used to get a foot in the door. It's been happening under our nose. Imperialism hasn't died yet, but President Trump is killing it.People can no longer see the obvious. Get ready because it's about to go down hard core. Now is the time to check your courage level, and top it off as needed.

When devotion turns into performance, honesty becomes the new yoga. In this powerful conversation with Jiva G, Raghunath explores how 12-Step recovery principles blend seamlessly with bhakti yoga to heal the heart. Together they unpack spiritual bypassing, codependency, trauma, and the courage to drop the mask. It's raw, funny, and deeply transformative—showing that real bhakti isn't about perfection, it's about honesty, humility, and doing the inner work that makes love real. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Our bodies are incredibly honest, and they keep score of how we live our lives. If we are not being truthful with ourselves or using our voice to say what we need to say, our bodies will speak for us. Pain, illness, or discomfort is often our body's way of showing us where we are out of alignment with our soul. In this episode, I talk about how ignoring our truth can show up in the body and why it is so important to check in with ourselves regularly.I also dive into practical ways to listen to your body and understand what it is trying to tell you. From noticing patterns in relationships to examining what you truly desire versus what you think you should want, I guide you on how to align your actions with your inner truth.
