Grace Under Fire – Free Live Series https://subscribepage.io/GraceUnderFire   It’s Time To Cross the Threshold Meet Your Power Differently and Ride the Fire Horse Does it feel like life is pushing you harder than usual? Are you being pulled in a thousand directions by the people you care about? Are you questioning who you are and where you’re going? The way you’ve been living is not sustainable. You are not burned out because you're weak. You're tired because you're carrying intensity that your old tools were never designed to hold. More is being asked of us than ever before. More responsibility. More emotional labor. More truth. More fire. And now, the temperature is rising even higher with the Fire Horse entering on February 17, 2026. Every 60 years, the Fire Horse brings transformative yang energy that either purifies or overwhelms. The last Fire Horse was 1966 – a year that brought massive cultural shifts, breakthroughs in consciousness, and radical change. Astrologically, this means that the pressure is building and it’s likely to get more intense in 2026 than it already has been. You don’t have to know a lot about astrology to see for yourself that the old strategies of numbing, pushing, or self-improvement will not work anymore to get you through this. You’re being invited to cross a threshold that will change how you meet life’s challenges.

After the sudden loss of his grandfather,  life in Gardena, California, felt quieter—but not empty. Late one night, alone in the house, something familiar moved through the kitchen. A shadow. A presence. One that felt unmistakably known. Years later, grief resurfaced in unexpected ways—through dreams that felt more like visits, through electronics behaving strangely, and through fleeting moments that blurred the line between memory and reality. Even after moving to a new city, the signs didn't stop. Instead, they changed form. Hummingbirds began to appear—often, persistently, and always at moments that felt too perfectly timed to be coincidence. Family lore says hummingbirds are visitors, messengers from those who've passed on. And when even the family dog reacted at the exact moment of loss, it became harder to dismiss the possibility that love doesn't always leave when life does. #trueghoststory #afterdeath #paranormalexperience #visitationstory #griefandtheafterlife #signsfrombeyond #spiritvisitation #hauntedmemories #realparanormal #lifeafterdeath  Love real ghost stories?

https://vimeo.com/1147502145?fl=ip&fe=ec What if your spiritual awakening requires you to go through madness of some sort or other, and mess? In order to really fully embody yourself as human and divine. It's such a horribly lovely journey to go through that madness. Today's guest, Jon Kohrs is with us, as we dive into this topic of madness, navigating your life in relationships and personal discovery and more.  Join us, to find out more! Jon Kohrs has spent twenty years in corporate America as a business and executive coach.  He is a teacher, as well as an advocate for caregivers and he is the author of, Getting Unstuck by Design.  Jon uses experiential teaching methods grounded in Reiki, Andean energy practices, shamanism, Jungian alchemy and mystic traditions. Jon Kohrs is a Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy Certified Coach and utilizes the Enneagram to design systems that help leaders in some of the most highly bureaucratic organizations in the United States to unlearn how they work, unlock organizational potential, creatively facilitate change within their team and work in a whole new way. In an effort to break the norms of how we express ourselves authentically, Jon Kohrs wrote, Horribly Lovely, a spiritual romantic memoir of a man's unconventional journey through love, addiction, infidelity, heartbreak, the overall messiness of being human and searching for the beauty of beginning again and again. It is a soulful story told with raw honesty,  poetic intensity and written with psychological depth to explore the truest sense of love and what remains after heartbreak. It is an ideal companion for anyone who's ever felt broken in a relationship or lost in their search for the perfect love story. Watch or listen to the show to find encouragement for facing the madness and messiness of our human journey and embodying yourself as fully human and fully divine.

His writing defies genre, weaving symbolic narratives that are dreamlike, lyrical, and poetic—inviting readers into the raw, unfiltered beauty of being human.  With roots in shamanism, the Enneagram, and Jungian alchemy, Jon explores the phenomenological experience of love—how it melts the hardened statues of identity and invites us to play with the clay of the soul. Through this work, he seeks to break the norms of expression and awaken truth in its most idiosyncratic, real, and uncomfortable forms.  Jon also works as a designer, coach, and teacher who bridges the worlds of inner transformation and organizational innovation. He helps leaders shape visionary ideas into ventures that honor both soul and strategy.  Jon dives into the depth not to explain reality, but to live into his own truth. He lives in Kansas City with his three children and is a relative of the Slovenian writer Ivan Tavčar.

We’re empty and we're seeking something meaningful, something sacred. And when we find that shamanic path, we enter a doorway into a completely altered reality where life shows up extremely differently, more beneficially with more guidance, with more support, with more mystical moments and revelations. With a connected web of life all around us. Today's guest, Angell Deer is a mystic medicine man and an author of the newest book, Becoming the Medicine. He shares so many beautiful shamanic tools and experiences to get you started on your path of opening up this right side up world for yourself. Join us to find out more! Angell Deer is trained as a veterinarian, medicine man, animist teacher, ordained minister, beekeeper, herbalist, reiki master, breathwork practitioner, and meditation teacher, international speaker, and sacred disruptor.  Angell has dedicated his life to remembering and transmitting ancient wisdom.

His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.  He has spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”  He now lives with his wife and children at La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a renovated 18th-century farm in Burgundy, France, in devotion to land, community, and the mystery—tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremony.

With contributions by Blake Smith, Roger Lancaster, David Moulton, Stephen Adubato, Amir Naaman, Ran Heilbrunn, Pierre d'Alancaisez, Travis Jeppesen, Oliver Davis, Yotam Feldman, and Marcas Lancaster. Today's world of PrEP, Pride parades, and gay marriage eclipses the wildest dreams of the sexual revolution. While it was formerly deviant to promote gay lifestyles, it is now 'problematic' to suggest that not all departures from the norm are in the homosexual's best interest. Amidst this excess, a new wave of discontentment rises among the once-keenest proponents of sexual progress: gay men. What happened in the transition from inversion to homosexuality, gayness, and queerness? Why do some gay men lament the freedoms afforded to them by sexual and social acceptance? Bold and daring, the essays in Inversion: Gay Life After the Homosexual (Verdurin, 2025) reflect on the vicious cycle of debasement, acceptance, sacrifice, and liberation that homosexuality has been stuck in for longer than it wishes to acknowledge. As gay culture fails to confront its history, it adopts hollow narratives of struggle. Some gay men fear losing their freedoms, some advocate for sexual restraint, while others, lost in the ever-expanding LGBTQIA+ 'community, ' continue to make maximalist ideological demands of those outside. These responses mark a fracture in gay life. If there is some essence to homosexual desire, how is it being served by today's gay culture and queer politics? Has the gay man - homosexual, queer, or inverted - rendered himself obsolete? Bringing together contributions by eleven leading thinkers, theorists, and critics who examine the consequences of pink-washing history, denial of sexual realities, and the memetic nature of desire, Inversion reclaims homosexuality's lost depth in an era of profound discontent. Fearless in its critique and challenging in its proposals, Inversion considers the cultural and political aspects of gay life after homosexuality as it battles with queerness and the allure of a reactionary return, pharmacologically fueled sexual degeneration, and existential dread. Pierre d'Alancaisez is a critic, curator, and researcher interested in the changing role of art and its social institutions. His writing has appeared in The Critic, ArtReview, The Spectator, and Compact. Amir Naaman worked as a mailman, a cook, a bookseller, a comics publisher, a house painter and is now a personal trainer at the gym. His first novel The Hummingbirds, a homosexual horror story, was published in 2020. Learn more about your ad choices.

A last-minute writing invite, a young artist with star power, and a chorus that had to carry the whole story—Ava Sapelsa walks us through how a room with Jamie Kenny, Trent Dabbs, and Max McNown turned into a multi-format hit climbing hot AC, pop, and country radio while living on the Billboard charts for months. We trace the journey from poetic verses to a clear “brown eyes” hook, why the melody stretches across male and female ranges, and how a strong chorus can translate from TikTok buzz to radio momentum without losing its heart.From there, we rewind to Evanston and Montana, where cover sets and country storytelling shaped Ava's instincts, then fast-forward to Nashville writers' rounds as a crash course in modern songcraft. Ava shares the strategies behind “Salt, Lime & Tequila,” a Zoom-era co-write with Ryan Griffin and Jason Massey that snowballed from a rough title to SiriusXM The Highway's most-played song, and how TikTok, smart pitching, and timing opened the door to radio. We also break down her outside cut with Carly Pearce on Hummingbird, proving how a clean concept and an honest lyric can move from demo to record in a week when everything aligns.Beyond charts and cuts, Ava brings purpose to Music City through Hope on the Row, a nonprofit serving unhoused neighbors with food, supplies, and pathways to stability—powered by volunteers from across the music industry. It's a reminder that enduring careers are built on craft, community, and consistency. If you're chasing better choruses, clearer concepts, or a stronger network, you'll find practical takeaways and candid stories you can use on your next write.Enjoy the episode, then subscribe, share with a songwriter friend, and leave a review so more music lovers can find these stories.

https://vimeo.com/1136707863?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci We've heard a lot about what doesn't work for us as women with the Me Too Movement and toxic masculinity and the recent Epstein Files, and we know what doesn't work for us as well. But do we know what does? And today's guest is gonna talk about relational masculinity as the next frontier beyond toxic masculinity. It's a beautiful conversation with GS Youngblood, and I welcome you to join us to find out more. GS Youngblood has been studying the dynamics of relationship and polarity for over 17 years. He has found that most relationship problems are a result of a lack of masculine leadership. GS Youngblood offers live training workshops to help men stop settling for a flat, contentious or toxic relationship. He offers a three month live online group experience for a community of 12 like-minded men with his Relationship Repair Boot Camp. He is also a two time book author of "The Masculine in Relationship” and “The Art of Embodiment for Men” A book about owning your strength while still connecting with your woman on a deep level. He has sold nearly 100,000 books to date and has helped tens of thousands of men transform their lives by boiling down a complex subject into a simple three-part framework that ANY man can embody: the Masculine Blueprint. Watch or listen to the show to discover ways to help men find their way to start living from their masculine core. You're Invited! FREE GIFT: MIR Toolkit https://www.gsyoungblood.com/toolkit   GS YOUNGBLOOD BIO GS Youngblood is the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking book “The Masculine in Relationship”, which challenges the modern notion that all Masculinity is toxic by offering a model - the Masculine Blueprint - for men to become grounded in their own power and more relational with their Feminine partner. The Blueprint is something any man can embody, and it fits in our modern #MeToo culture without being watered down in any way. The premise of his work is that many relationship problems are actually rooted in a lack of Relational Masculinity - which is a combination of groundedness, leadership, and relational skills. This is what he teaches to men. His two books have sold nearly a combined 90,000 copies, and he has become a highly sought-after men's coach. GS's work draws inspiration from various disciplines, including psychology, men's work, spirituality, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM.

https://vimeo.com/1135913257 What is unconditional love? And how does life call you forward to express that unconditional love? Today's guest, Erica Baccus faced that very question as she kept her promise to help her partner of 41 years to end his life, with dignity when he found out he had Alzheimer's dementia. Join us for this beautiful conversation. The story of love. And have your heart open to the power of love. Erica Baccus was an English teacher. She is the founder of a high-tech marketing, advertising, and research company. Erica is a mom, a caregiver, a widow, and a lived-experience expert on end-of-life autonomy for dementia. Erica Baccus is making her publishing debut with her very personal and deeply touching memoir A Promise Kept: Honoring His Wishes, Embracing Our Love. Erica's newly released book celebrates her marriage and life with her husband, John. Their marriage was built on their commitment to each other, to their families and their friends. Together, Erica and John lived a life of adventure. Together they celebrated 41 years of marriage filled with romance, love, joy and pure unadulterated fun. They always said, “yes” to each other until the very end, including saying yes to John's desire to not live with advanced stages of dementia. Erica Baccus hopes to bring awareness to the growing movement to support the Death with Dignity Act, allowing a person with terminal illness to decide when, where and how their death occurs. A Promise Kept: Honoring His Wishes, Embracing Our Love has already achieved remarkable success, hitting #1 on both Amazon's Bestseller and New Release lists in the categories of Right-to-Die Law, Medical Law & Legislation, and Health Law.

In Episode 17, Leading with Compassion & Purposeful Play, hosts Nolan Martin and Aram Donigian speak with Belinda Chiu, founder of Hummingbird, about redefining leadership through compassion, mindfulness, and intentional play. Belinda explains how centeredness helps leaders make wiser decisions, and why purposeful play unlocks creativity and resilience.  By combining neuroscience with humanity, she shows that leadership isn't about control—it's about connection, curiosity, and courage. Through compassion in action and playful experimentation, leaders can build trust, manage chaos, and create environments where people and ideas thrive together.  

Blink and you’ll miss ‘em! In this episode we get to know hummingbirds eyeball-to-eyeball. The world of the hummingbird is changing fast in the deserts of Arizona. So much so that even an animal as quick as a hummingbird is struggling to keep up. Native plant ecosystems that make up the nectar landscape that hummingbirds use to migrate are shrinking. Join me as I travel to the mountains and deserts of the American Southwest with two experts to experience how these tiny but tough little birds manage to survive in such a harsh environment. And I get to experience these acrobatic marvels more up close and personal than I ever imagined possible.

Hummingbirds are celebrated for their beauty and grace, but in some places, they are trapped in a dark and deadly tradition. In parts of Mexico, hummingbirds are captured and killed to be used in love spells called chuparosa charms, a practice that has crossed borders and made its way to the United States. Conservationists are working to save these birds from this brutal fate, enforcing laws and raising awareness.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Meet Lauren and Alex from Hummingbird Pediatric Therapies, two passionate professionals revolutionizing care for young people with disabilities. Their multidisciplinary approach spans three Illinois locations, offering everything from occupational and physical therapy to innovative programs like hippotherapy. What makes them unique? They're filling critical gaps between pediatric and adult services through their Therapeutic Life Skills program, while their Intensive Therapy approach delivers more progress in three weeks than traditional therapy models achieve in months.The conversation takes a candid turn when discussing healthcare hurdles. "It's very frustrating when you know something's working or that a family could benefit from something," Lauren shares, detailing how insurance limitations often restrict access to life-changing services. These frustrations mirror my own journey after becoming paralyzed in a car accident, when insurance approved just three hours of care daily despite needing round-the-clock assistance. We explore how finding the right support—like my occupational therapist who introduced me to a game-changing mouse stick—can transform lives through what Alex beautifully describes as "inch stones over milestones."Whether you're navigating disability yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about innovative approaches to therapy, this episode offers raw perspectives on overcoming systemic barriers with creativity and determination. Because as I remind listeners: "I'm paralyzed from the neck down breathing through a machine, but that doesn't stop me from following my dreams and doing what I love to do. I don't got any excuse, and neither should you."

While full-speed-ahead birding can mean spotting a large number of species, there's quiet joy in stand-still birding. Pick a place-forest, field, or marsh. Find a seat that's dry, and hold your binoculars to your eyes. Be still and blend in. After perhaps 20 minutes, birds accept you as part of the landscape and go back to the business of being birds. You might even see a bird like this female Anna's Hummingbird fly to her secret nest.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The Santa Marta Sabrewing is a hummingbird species so rare, they've only been documented twice in recent years. Native to the mountains of Colombia, they were officially described in 1946. No one reported another sighting until 2010. They became a “lost” species, eluding every attempt to find them. Then in 2022, Yurgen Vega was studying the birds of a mountain range called the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. He snapped a photo of an unusual, large hummingbird – and the sabrewing was lost no more.BirdNote is grateful to former board member and photographer extraordinaire Owen Deutsch and his wife Rona Talcott for their strong support over the years.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Most birds possess the ability to see color. But birds can also see in the ultraviolet spectrum! Hummingbirds — like this Violet-crowned Hummingbird — may zero in on certain flowers because their petals strongly reflect in the ultraviolet range. Migrating birds may use ultraviolet light to navigate on overcast days, because the sun's ultraviolet rays pass through the cloud cover.This episode is sponsored by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies.
