A hospital admission. A seizure. A certain time of year. Sometimes your body can react to medical trauma long after the moment itself has passed. But when does that become PTSD, and what does that look like when the trauma is tied to your child's medical care?In today's episode, Amanda Griffith-Atkins joins us to break down the difference between PTSD, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and other trauma responses, plus why things like hypervigilance, avoidance, feeling trapped, and physical reactions to reminders can show up so strongly for medical parents.We also dig into what makes trauma especially complicated when you have to keep returning to the hospital or facing new medical crises, how treatment options like EMDR and medication can help, and why you don't need an official PTSD diagnosis for your trauma to deserve attention.And a big thanks to our sponsor for this episode, themakers of the incredible documentary, The Zebra & The Bear!Links:Watch The Zebra & The BearListen to Ep 185: Medical Parent Trauma.Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!Join The Rare Life newsletter and never miss an update!Follow Amanda on Instagram @amanda.griffith.atkins!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Amanda's Episodes:81: Health Anxiety85: Should A Child's Disability be Part of Their Parents' Identity? 99: Family Planning108: Holidays + Disability109: Isolating During Holidays 110: Inpatient During Holidays130: Fearful of Childloss 131: Chronic Stress + Our Bodies 132: When Self-Care Gives Us the Swears135: Ways Career + Family Roles Can Be Affected by Disability 142: What If My Disabled Child Outlives Me?147: Sex + Disability Parenting 153: Hurtful Things Loved Ones Say and Do156: Should I Get Divorced?159: Mental-Load Sharing with Your Partner171: Financial Strain 182: Hobbies 189: Grief in Disability Parenting 203: Strengthening Marriage 222: Intellectual Disabilities

  John Lynch joins Nate and Aaron on the Pirate Monk Podcast to talk about the gospel identity that has shaped his life, ministry, and recovery. The conversation moves from his recent bike trip in Spain to the deeper spiritual work of moving from shame and striving toward being loved by God as you are.They discuss John's journey from performance-driven religion to grace, the effects of shame, and why safe, honest community matters more than polished spirituality. The episode also previews his role at the upcoming Samson Summit. Nate and Aaron connect John's adventurous, “all in” personality to his lifelong passion for gospel identity. John explains why his goal was not simply to teach the Bible verse by verse, but to help people see who they are in Christ. He traces that passion to his conversion at age 27, after years of pain and shame following the end of a relationship and his baseball career. John reflects on how seminary gave him information but not transformation, and how an authentic church community kept drawing him toward Christ. He shares how naming childhood sexual abuse, after keeping it hidden for 35 years, helped him experience grace more honestly. The conversation explores the difference between guilt and shame: guilt says you did something wrong; shame says something is wrong with who you are. John says the voice of shame is not the voice of God—and that God never says, “You're too much for me.” John discusses creating “gospel places” where people can be fully known without being loved less. The episode previews John's upcoming sessions at the Samson Summit and considers how vulnerability can help people walk alongside one another.   Oct 23-25, 2026 U.S. Samson Summit   NEW Samson Community App (Apple store) NEW Samson Community App (Google Store)   Send mail to: Pirate Monk Podcast/Samson House PO BOX 1656 Columbia, TN 38402   If you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to piratemonkpodcast@gmail.com.     The opening and closing music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.

What happens when the trauma you survived as a kid splits you into parts you don't even know are there?In this episode I sit down with AnnaLynne McCord, the 90210 star who went public about her assault years before Me Too and later revealed her dissociative identity disorder diagnosis, to explore why childhood trauma fractures your identity.We talk about why she was first diagnosed as bipolar, how her DID diagnosis cracked open memories she'd buried, what it was like to have co-consciousness with different parts of herself, and how she went from 90% dysregulation to 90% peace.We also explore why Hollywood warned her that honesty would end her career, the 70-year-old woman who finally accepted herself after hearing AnnaLynne speak, why boys are taught to shut their hearts down, and the one thing she believes most people spend their lives avoiding.But underneath the headlines, this conversation is about something much more personal.Why we build a version of ourselves to survive a world that felt unsafe. How a tough, fearless exterior can hide someone who believes they're weak. And what it actually takes to stop running from what you feel.Because the fracture came from an absence of love. And the only thing that puts you back together is love.AnnaLynne McCord is an actress best known for her role in 90210, and a longtime advocate against human trafficking who has spoken at the United Nations. She speaks openly about trauma, mental health and her DID diagnosis, and leads healing retreats around the world.If you're struggling, please reach out:US: call or text 988Australia: Lifeline 13 11 14UK: Samaritans 116 123Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction: DID and Fragmentation(00:17) Meet AnnaLynne McCord(00:34) Misconceptions and Masks(04:43) Tailoring Identity for Approval(09:00) Homeschooling and Early Independence(12:42) Industry Pressure to Stay Perfect(14:14) Speaking Out on Assault and DID(19:52) Turning Pain Into Purpose(24:23) Heart Led Masculinity(29:32) Boys and Emotional Conditioning(32:57) Honoring Men at the UN(36:26) Trafficking Speech Pushback(38:49) Masculine and Feminine Balance(40:49) Reactive Systems and Labels(41:34) Sponsor Break Move Your Mind(42:24) Trauma Misdiagnosis to Healing(45:33) Finding Peace Through Integration(49:34) Advice to Her Teen Self(51:32) Stop Avoiding EmotionsJoin the Move Your Mind Community:go.nickbracks.com/mymcommunityConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with AnnaLynne: Instagram: @theannalynnemccordWebsite: theannalynnemccord.com Hosted on Acast.

Sometimes the tools that have always helped you manage stress suddenly stop working, and keeping a positive mindset isn't enough. When that happens, the answer isn't to push harder or immediately look for the silver lining. Sometimes you need to acknowledge what you're going through and allow yourself time to get the support you need. Today's guest, Ruby Fremon, knows firsthand what that feels like. Ruby is an author, coach, and someone I've had the privilege of knowing for years. She's also the author of Potent Leadership and has spent the last several years studying Somatic Experiencing. She works with high-achieving leaders who have reached a point where they know they can't keep living and leading the way they have been. In 2022, Ruby was at the highest point of her career when a traumatic event involving the death of her dog triggered a very unfortunate series of events. Over the next few years, her mental and physical health declined; she stepped away from the business and identity she had spent years building, and eventually reached a point where she was contemplating taking her own life. In our conversation, Ruby shares what helped her survive the darkest season of her life and explains why healing doesn't always mean immediately finding the positive in what happened. We also talk about how trauma can affect the way you experience life, practical ways to build your capacity to move through difficult emotions, and how losing the person you thought you were can ultimately help you reconnect with who you really are. KEY TAKEAWAYS What happens when the regular life tools stop working Why healing doesn't always begin by finding the silver lining The importance of acknowledging what you're actually going through How Somatic Experiencing can help build emotional resilience True regulation means increasing your capacity to experience emotions How your identity is usually shaped by past experiences How A dark night of the soul or season can challenge your sense of self Why high achievers need to stop trying to do everything alone Finding the right support can change your healing journey Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/655 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

It's been three years since Leka Fineman last joined the show — and in that time she won the CrossFit Games at 56, retired from competition, took up surfing for the first time in her 50s, started menopause hormone therapy (including testosterone), and lost her partner to cancer just seven months ago. Leka pulls back the curtain on the “identity grief” she experienced after working so hard to meet her goals and so hard to take care of her partner that she no longer knew who she was when it was all over. Physically and emotionally drained, Leka looked past her usual pursuits and turned to yoga, equine therapy, and a community of surfer women to pull her through. She shares what her hormone therapy journey has looked like, how she fuels and trains now compared to her competitive days, and how turning 60 this October is inspiring her to quiet her mind, connect with her inner self, and embrace what comes next.Leka Fineman is a health, wellness, and mindset coach, CrossFit Games champion, and lifelong athlete based in Southern California. A three-time CrossFit competitor turned five-time CrossFit Games athlete, she won the world title at age 56 before retiring from competition to focus on coaching, surfing, and yoga. Leka works with clients on strength, nutrition, and mindset — building personalized plans that help people identify their motivation and values, and using meditation, visualization, and breathwork to help them show up from a strong, calm center in any part of life. Since stepping away from competitive CrossFit, she's become an avid surfer, a certified yoga teacher, and an equine-therapy volunteer, and she continues to coach women on strength training, hormone health, and midlife reinvention.

Gabo Loaiza, head coach of Jämtland Basket, shared how he builds his teams around a shared way of seeing the game. That common picture comes from video work and clear communication so players can decide for themselves. Identity starts with energy and effort, then talent, then tactics chosen to multiply both. His game model is fast and risk-taking. He develops Plan A instead of inventing Plan B for every opponent, trusting the team's strengths even in playoffs. Players must win individual battles and show “blind generosity”—unseen effort that helps teammates. Passing and constant movement sit at the core. Development is a team job. Mirror pairings of pros and youth players set the same standard, while “tactification” drills put skills in unpredictable, game-like settings. Drawing on his psychology background, Loaiza focuses on process over results and on helping both coaches and players manage fear of failure.

In this episode, Jason explores the difference between leading from personal identity and leading with positive energy. He reflects on how a strong identity can sometimes lead to control, frustration, and unnecessary rigidity and why he wants to shift toward inspiring and serving the workforce instead. Jason discusses the importance of creating strong standards and maintaining a disciplined job site while focusing more on winning over the workforce, encouraging participation, and leading with energy rather than relying on authority. What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between your identity and the energy you bring to a project. How personal identity can sometimes create unnecessary control. Why strong standards can coexist with positive leadership. How to inspire workforce participation instead of relying primarily on enforcement. Why leaders should come to the job site ready to serve, give, and inspire. Are you leading from the identity you feel you have to protect or from the energy that inspires people to follow you?   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

Building a plan B can feel like betting against plan A. But preparing for what's next pays off whether plan A lasts two years or twenty. Corey Parchman started his time in the NFL as an undrafted free agent, but quickly learned "NFL" can also mean "not for long." In this episode, he shares how he learned business without losing focus on football, how to reinvent yourself after a major career change, and why becoming a business owner is more reachable than you think. Topics discussed: (00:00) Introduction (01:22) From undrafted to five years in the NFL (03:25) Starting Plan B while doing Plan A (07:46) Identity after a career change (10:40) Skills that transfer into business (and one that doesn't) (14:22)

Your newest hire has a Google Workspace account, a Slack login and a laptop. It never sleeps, and it never asks before it acts. So who owns its identity? Ron welcomes back Ashish Rajan, CISO at Techriot.io and researcher with AI Security Lab, who spent 17 years in identity, cloud security and security leadership. His take: vendors haven't solved AI identity, and the open questions are on your side, not the product's. Ashish got into identity after failing his OSCP three times: if he couldn't break in, he wouldn't let anyone else in. Now he reviews Ron's own setup, where Hacker Valley's AI agent, Jennifer Romani, has her own accounts just like an employee. Ashish explains how that call changes from a one-laptop small business to an enterprise where every developer's machine acts like five. They also cover the Gemini breach headlines, swarms of agents and AI Security Lab, which Ashish describes as what OWASP is for AppSec, but for AI security. The uncomfortable truth: defenders have the same models attackers do, but attackers don't wait for a pull request review. Ashish calls that a people problem, not a technology problem. He also shares the question he asks before handing anything to an AI agent: can this be reversed?

Alex Bovee, CEO and co-founder of C1.ai (formerly ConductorOne), returns for his third appearance on Identity at the Center. Alex walks Jim and Jeff through the rebrand to C1.ai and why the .ai matters: identity now covers humans, workloads, and agents. The conversation opens on launch week and the new App Hub, built around a question many CIOs and CISOs are facing. What happens when everyone in the company becomes a builder and vibe-coded apps start running critical workflows?From there, Alex frames the difference between humans, software, and agents using two dimensions, trustworthiness and determinism, and explains why agents that "goal max" call for runtime enforcement instead of relying only on after-the-fact reviews. He breaks down the Hugging Face breach, where an OpenAI agent under evaluation escaped its sandbox in pursuit of better eval results, and lays out six control points for agent security: identity, the harness, network egress, data and tools, the LLM gateway, and credentials.The group also covers why IGA fundamentals speed up AI adoption, three buckets of agents (SaaS, enterprise, and personal productivity), agents evaluating other agents, governed swim lanes over shutting things down, and the slept-on problem of credentials sprawling across endpoints. Plus girl dads, boy families, and the return of the Royal Octopus.Made possible with support from C1.

Abusers know exactly how to manipulate and target their victims' biggest weaknesses. They repeatedly erode your identity until there's nothing left and until you're too tired to fight back. But there is hope! Karen DeArmond Gardner, a pastoral trauma coach and author, discusses the scary reality of domestic abuse in the home, when a husband trashes his marriage and beats his wife down, physically or emotionally, to get his way. Karen recounts her personal, decades-long struggle surviving domestic abuse, how she escaped, and what she learned. She advises how to assess your situation and what kind of potential solutions might just make things worse. Don't be afraid to get help - but make sure you're getting it from the right people. TAKEAWAYS Couples counseling can be very dangerous for a woman who is in an abusive marriage Marital counseling, in domestic abuse cases, doesn't work because the issue isn't marital; it's abuse Women are taught to be submissive to their husbands, which grooms them to turn the other cheek too often Some abusers can change their behavior, but it is very rare, and abusers erode freedoms and identity bit by bit

This week we are taking you back to Black Hat USA 2026 and exploring two sides of the security landscape.  First, Microsoft incident response experts Adrian Hill and Terry Mee break down identity-based attacks, from compromised credentials and MFA bypasses to containment, logging, access controls, and the growing risks surrounding AI agents.  Then, members of Microsoft's Defender Purple Team discuss how they recreate full attack chains, including emerging AI-driven techniques, to identify detection gaps, strengthen defenses, and use AI to accelerate security research while keeping human expertise in the loop.  In this episode you'll learn:  Why identity is at the center of modern security incidents  How attackers can bypass MFA and maintain access through sessions, tokens, and other forms of persistence  Why logging and long-term data retention are critical during incident response  How purple teams recreate full attack chains to uncover gaps in detection and response  Where AI can accelerate security research, and where deterministic systems and human oversight still matter  Why AI agents introduce new risks around access, permissions, and trust  Some questions we ask:  What should organizations be logging and retaining for incident response?  Where do organizations underestimate SaaS, OAuth, and identity persistence risks?  When should defenders contain an attacker versus continue gathering intelligence?  How does attacking an AI-enabled system begin to look like traditional offensive security?  Where should security researchers trust AI, and where should they rely on deterministic systems?  What should security teams understand about the exposure and permissions of their AI agents?     Resources:   View Elliot Volkman on LinkedIn     Related Microsoft Podcasts:                    Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson  The BlueHat Podcast  Uncovering Hidden Risks        Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at microsoft.com/podcasts     Get the latest threat intelligence insights and guidance at Microsoft Security Insider    The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast is produced by Microsoft, Hangar Studios and distributed as part of N2K media network. 

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.In honor of Calypso History Month this October and the recent passing of the great "Calypso King of the World" Slinger “Mighty Sparrow” Francisco, we reshare this throwback episode with music sociologist Dr. Meagan A. Sylvester. Calypso isn't just a sound you dance to, it's a way Caribbean people have documented power, pain, pride, and punchlines for centuries. Together, we follow calypso from its roots in the slavery era, where satire and storytelling become tools for survival, into a genre that still functions like public commentary set to rhythm. Along the way we unpack why “mother music” matters, and why the calypsonian's job has never been only to entertain. We also zoom in on Trinidad and Tobago's outsized role in shaping calypso's modern identity, from early recording history to the migration that brings artists from across the region into Port of Spain's competitive calypso scene. Dr. Sylvester breaks down how language and tempo shift over time, and why double entendre becomes a signature strategy when you want leaders to hear the song but miss the sting. Carnival sits at the center of the story, not as a side note but as a major stage where lyrics carry debates about colonization, independence, republicanism, civil rights, and everyday governance. We talk calypso's relationship to soca, how generations argue about what counts as “real” calypso, and how new artists move between styles. Meagan A. Sylvester - Music Sociologist.Author.Researcher is a published author of over fifteen book chapters and journal articles and is a well know public academic in her native Trinidad and Tobago where she participates in both television and radio discussions on the Calypso and Soca musical artforms. Her research topics of interest are Music and National Identity in Calypso and Soca, Music of Diasporic Carnivals, Narratives of Resistance in Calypso and Ragga Soca music, Steelpan and kaisoJazz musical identities, Gender and Identity in Calypso and Soca music and Music and Human Rights in the Americas. She has presented academic papers and hosted scholarly workshops in several spaces across the globe including Europe, Latin America, South America, the United States and numerous islands in the Caribbean.Follow Dr. Sylvester on Facebook and Twitter. Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Hey there. Welcome back to Live with Purpose podcast. As you clear the clutter that gets in the way of aligning your life with God and His will, it's important to have the right perspective about who you are. Because if you don't have a clear understanding of your identity, it can be difficult to know where you're going. I don't know about you, but one of the reasons I started my own journey of self-discovery and purposeful living many years ago was because I was experiencing some inexplicable health challenges. And I began to wonder about my own existence. One of the very first questions I asked was: Who am I?  Tune in to listen to this episode and share it with someone.

153 - When your Job Becomes your Identity - Rachael Stark What happens when you're performing well at work—but you're not actually doing well? Rachael Stark knows that tension firsthand. Rachael is a captain in the Army National Guard, a reserve police officer, works in policy and accreditation for a police department, and previously served as a forensic death investigator. On paper, she was successful, productive, and helping people. But underneath it all, work had slowly become her identity. She was thinking about work constantly. Dreaming about it. Carrying scenes home with her. And like many first responders, she convinced herself it was simply part of the job. In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, Rachael joins Conrad Weaver for an honest conversation about what wellness looks like before someone reaches a crisis point. They discuss the danger of confusing productivity with health, why first responders can become addicted to being needed, and how seemingly small practices—therapy, hobbies, exercise, friendships, creative outlets, and simply creating space to decompress—can help someone remain a whole person. They also dig into the responsibility of leadership. It's not enough for an agency to put an EAP number on the wall. Leaders have to model the behaviors they want their people to embrace. That means checking in, listening, creating psychological safety, acknowledging that difficult calls affect us, and demonstrating that seeking support isn't a sign of weakness. In this episode: Why being high-functioning doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy What happens when the job becomes your entire identity The warning signs Rachael initially dismissed Why she unexpectedly picked up the violin The difference between having wellness resources and creating a wellness culture Why leaders need to model healthy behavior How supervisors can build trust with their people A better way to check in than simply asking, "How are you?" Why staying constantly busy can become a form of avoidance The individual's responsibility for proactive wellness How small changes can help first responders remain whole Why Rachael believes "wellness is not weakness" Rachael's message to leaders is simple: If you want a team that's ready for the next emergency, you need people who feel safe in their environment, safe enough to be honest, and connected to an identity beyond the job. And for the first responder who isn't in crisis but knows something isn't quite right—you don't necessarily need to completely change your life.

Should the indentities of court defendants be kept secret, even if they are found guilty? A Rotorua lawyer, who has spent years researching the issue thinks that should be the norm, with just a few exceptions. Dr Shannon Eldridge believes bias in the way name suppression is granted can unfairly disadvantage and stigmatise people. Dr Shannon Eldridge spoke to Lisa Owen.

We're baaaaack! Season 6 is here, we've rebranded, and we're going deeper.I'm so excited to share everything we have in store this season — it's going to be less about finding the “right” answers, and more about asking better questions.We're talking about self-discovery, relationships, identity, change and uncertainty, health, purpose, communication, and what it actually means to build a life that feels like your own.I'm kicking things off by sharing the mini identity crisis I had this summer about how I'm showing up in the world, if the way I'm spending my time is aligned with the person I want to be, and the questions I explored to reflect on how I want to move forward. So today, I'm sharing six prompts to help you gain clarity and insight into how you want to live, where you are right now, and what might have gotten lost along the way. Tune in to explore:How do I want to be remembered? Is there a gap between the person you want to be and how you're actually showing up?Who are you when no one is looking? Do you like the person you are when you're alone and no one is watching?What version of yourself do you miss? What parts of your younger self might be worth reconnecting with?What will you miss about this chapter of your life? How can remembering that your current life will eventually become a memory help you appreciate the present?What is your insecurity trying to tell you? Are insecurity, envy, and comparison clues that you're living out of alignment or self-abandoning?What stories are you still telling yourself? And what would happen if you started gathering evidence that those stories aren't necessarily true?This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reverse-engineer your life around these potent questions. Grab a journal, take a walk, or discuss these prompts with someone you love. You might discover something you already knew but had forgotten.Welcome to Season 6. I'm so happy you're here!

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsA session IPA called Trophy Wife, a father-son golf trip in Raleigh, and a steakhouse meal that might crack the top three of all time somehow lead perfectly into what we really came to talk about: a Steelers AFC North win that felt like a full personality change on offense.We break down what flipped from last week to this week, starting with the offensive line. The protection looks calmer, the pocket looks cleaner, and our quarterback suddenly has time to work through reads and spread the ball around. The run game becomes the anchor, and Jalen Warren plays like the engine of the whole operation, ripping chunks, fighting through contact, and turning “nice gain” into “how did that happen?” energy. We also hit the frustrating parts, including missed touchdowns and the kind of turnover that makes you feel a 14-point swing coming.On the other side, we talk honestly about the defense giving up 27, how hard it is to handle an offense like Cincinnati's, and why it matters that some of the biggest momentum plays come from guys outside the usual headliners. And yes, we address the “Bungles” moments, because a muffed punt, roughing the punter, and bizarre timeout decisions are real parts of how these games swing.We wrap by looking ahead to Thursday night in Cleveland: short week, loud stadium, and a Browns team that may be messy but still dangerous. If you enjoy smart football talk with real locker-room context and a little family dinner chaos, hit follow, share this with a Steelers fan, and leave a review so more people find the show.

In this episode, Dan and I go more deeply into how identity — taking yourself to be a limited, separate-from-the-rest-of-life entity — is the key factor behind the ability to explore love and and relationship in the way we’ve discussed in our episodes thus far. The sense of self demands a lot of attention, which means far less attention is freed up to be fully present with your partner and with life itself. A strong identity also serves as an interpretive filter, in a sense, funneling a lot of attention toward the protection and defense of the sense of “me”. Old conditioning is bolstered by identity; on the flip side, conditioning is dramatically weakened and can fail to arise in some cases when the sense of separate self is seen through. We begin to talk about how one can examine the sense of self and discuss an upcoming video series we’re creating for this purpose.  I mention Dan’s book in this episode. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPGKY8YLPlease email me at amy@dramyjohnson.com with your feedback and suggestions about this episode. We would love to hear what you think and what you'd like to hear more about as we record a new series of episodes for you.The post EP405: The challenge of identity: The sense of self appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

We're all living inside stories. The strange thing is, most of the time we don't know they're stories.“You do you.” “Follow your heart.” “Live free.” “Truth is relative.” They can feel less like cultural assumptions and more like oxygen—simply the way things are. In this conversation, Stephanie sits down with Michael Keller, senior pastor of Redeemer Lincoln Square in New York City and son of the late Tim Keller, to ask what happens when we begin noticing the water we're swimming in. They discuss the book Tim Keller co-authored with Michael before passing.Michael and his father began working together on a book exploring these cultural narratives before Tim's death in 2023. What emerged became something more personal for Michael than he expected. They talk about identity that is received rather than achieved, why our culture's vision of freedom may leave us lonelier rather than freer, and what happens when love slowly becomes synonymous with affirmation.And then the conversation gets tender. Michael shares what it meant to work among his father's words after losing the man himself, and what he discovered about grief, fatherhood, and finding in Christ what death seems to have taken away. Stephanie and Michael come at that question from very different experiences with their earthly fathers, yet somehow arrive in the same place: Jesus.They also explore Tim Keller's much-discussed approach to culture, which some have labeled as "third way-ism." Michael explains why “affirm, critique, redirect” isn't an attempt to find a comfortable middle between opposing sides. The gospel stands somewhere else altogether, exposing what is broken while recognizing echoes of goodness and redirecting our longings toward Christ.So perhaps the question isn't simply whether we believe the gospel. What stories are we actually living as though they were true?MORE ABOUT DR. TIM KELLERTimothy J. Keller (1950–2023) was the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, cofounder of Redeemer City to City, and the author of numerous books, including The Reason for God, The Prodigal God, and The Meaning of Marriage. His thirty-one books have sold over six million copies and have been translated into twenty-nine languages.MORE ABOUT DR. MICHAEL KELLERDr. Michael Keller is the senior pastor of Redeemer Lincoln Square in New York City, a church he planted with his wife, Sara, in 2017. He grew up in New York as the son of the late pastor, author, and apologist Tim Keller, watching his parents plant Redeemer Presbyterian Church beginning in 1989. Michael earned his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and later received an M.Div. and a Th.M. in Apologetics, magna cum laude, from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He also holds a Ph.D. from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where his work brought computational linguistics into conversation with historical theology. Before planting Redeemer Lincoln Square, Michael served in ministry in London, Queens, and Boston and helped establish an urban Reformed University Fellowship ministry in New York City.MORE ABOUT “THE STORIES WE LIVE BY” by TIM KELLER AND MICHAEL KELLERWe are the stories we believe. But what if our culture's stories are failing us? The Stories We Live By reveals the hidden cultural narratives that shape us and points the way to the life we've been looking for."Do what makes you happy." "Be true to yourself." "Live free." If these slogans promise the good life, why do they so often leave us feeling hollow and empty? Could the very stories our modern world tells us about happiness, freedom, and identity be the source of our growing anxiety and disillusionment?The culmination of a journey Michael Keller began with his father, beloved pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller, before his passing, The Stories We Live By unmasks the hidden cultural narratives that shape our lives, often without our knowledge. Examining seven dominant narratives of modern culture--concerning identity, power, freedom, morality, truth, happiness, and progress--the authors show how these stories contain elements of truth yet are built on flawed assumptions and internal contradictions that leave us fragile, divided, and unable to cope with the realities of life.The Stories We Live By helps us:Recognize where these stories appear throughout cultureUnderstand why they leave us feeling hollow and unfulfilledDecode the specific ways these stories hijack our decision-making--and learn how to critically evaluate them going forwardUnderstand why the Christian story offers a more satisfying answer to our deepest longingsMake sense of both the beauty and the brokenness of the worldFind a hope that can sustain us through suffering, grounded in a story that is bigger than death itselfFor the skeptic, this book offers a challenge to examine the unproven beliefs that drive our lives. For the Christian, it is an essential tool for recognizing where we have unknowingly absorbed cultural narratives that conflict with our faith. And for everyone, it is an invitation to discover a story that is big enough to make sense of both the beauty and the brokenness of the world--a story of grace that has the power to carry us through life's deepest joys and sorrows.Born from a conversation between a father and son, The Stories We Live By is more than a cultural analysis. It is a guide to finding a truer, more beautiful, and far more satisfying story to live by.Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Should you take a GLP-1? Is self-love really the key to loving others or feeling loved? And what do you do when another woman’s seemingly perfect life makes you feel like you’re losing? In this episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore tackles three questions that show up again and again: Whether GLP-1s can be used wisely, especially when you have a history of disordered eating Why “love yourself before you can love others” doesn’t come from Scripture How to respond when you feel intimidated, inferior, envious, or competitive around another woman What your personal “ruler” reveals about the standards you use to measure worth Why the answer isn’t more self-love, but finding your identity and security in Jesus If body image, comparison, or the pressure to change your body has been taking up too much space in your heart, this conversation will help you ask better questions before you take your next step. **Correction to audio: Heather cites a statistic that says one-in-three are on a GLP-1, the correct number is 11% or closer to one-in-eight.

Your experience shaped you. Your next chapter requires you to understand how to use it.What happens when the structure, mission, and identity you relied on suddenly change?In this conversation, we go beyond emotional intelligence and explore emotional dexterity, the ability to better understand your emotions, recognize what drives them, and choose how you respond.The discussion also goes deeper into one of the biggest challenges veterans can face after leaving the military: figuring out who they are outside the uniform.The skills are still there. Leadership, problem solving, decision making, discipline, communication, change management, and the ability to operate under pressure do not disappear. The challenge is learning how to recognize those skills, translate them, and apply them to a new mission.From mindset and emotional control to career transition, AI, leadership, communication, TEDx, and personal growth, this conversation is ultimately about learning how to adapt without losing the strengths that got you here.Segment Discussed:00:00 Opening Conversation & Introduction 06:20 Emotional Intelligence vs. Emotional Dexterity 09:36 Changing Habits & Emotional Responses 10:37 Understanding Your Emotional Drivers 13:07 Can You Change How You Respond? 18:46 Military Transition, Identity & Purpose 20:15 Recognizing the Skills You Already Have 30:15 Using AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement 39:34 Marketing Yourself & Telling Your Story 46:07 Why Veterans Have Stories Worth Sharing 47:25 Collaboration & Creating New Opportunities 49:30 Why You Need to Ask and Open Doors 51:50 Learning to Communicate Emotions After Service 52:54 Disconnecting Your Past From Your Present 56:50 Bridging Military and Civilian Communication 57:26 Rebuilding Your Personal Leadership Framework 1:00:33 Three Things to Rebuild Purpose After the Military 1:01:59 Continuous Learning & Self Discovery 1:03:27 Building Structure in Your Next Chapter 1:04:18 Rediscovering Who You Are Beyond the UniformYour next chapter does not require you to erase the person you became through service.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sreemedha talks with Tobi Ojekunle, software engineer and host of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, about the quiet, ongoing conversation everyone has with themselves and why so much of personal transformation starts there. Tobi traces his own journey from growing up in Ibadan, Nigeria, to moving to Germany as a financially stretched international student, and how the fear and scarcity mindset of those early years slowly gave way to a more disciplined, intentional relationship with his own thoughts. The conversation moves into the practical mechanics of that shift: treating thoughts and emotions as messengers to be filtered rather than orders to be obeyed, finding gratitude for the very things Tobi once saw as flaws, and writing affirmations down in visible places so they take root in the subconscious rather than staying wishful thinking. Tobi and Sreemedha talk candidly about how cultural and immigration experience shapes self-image, and why rewriting the internal dialogue is often the real starting point for lasting change. About the Guest: Tobi Ojekunle is a software engineer originally from Ibadan, Nigeria, now based in Germany, and the host of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, a podcast exploring self-reflection, personal growth, and honest inner dialogue. Drawing on his own experience moving abroad as a student under financial pressure, Tobi focuses on how disciplined self-talk, gratitude, and intentional belief can reshape a person's relationship with themselves. Key Takeaways: Moving to Germany as a financially pressured international student left Tobi with an early scarcity mindset, and rebuilding his self-talk became the foundation for rebuilding his confidence. Thoughts and emotions can be treated as messengers rather than commands. The goal is to filter what they are pointing to rather than automatically obeying every feeling that shows up. Practicing gratitude, even for things once seen as flaws such as physical features or an accent, can reshape self-image over time and soften long-held self-criticism. Writing affirmations down and placing them somewhere visible helps embed new beliefs into the subconscious, rather than leaving them as fleeting, wishful thoughts. Cultural background and the immigration experience shape the internal dialogue people carry, and naming that influence is often the first step toward changing it. Disciplined self-talk is presented as a practice rather than a one-time fix, something rebuilt daily rather than achieved once and forgotten.

On U.T. Place's "Is Consciousness a Brain Process?" (1956) and J.J.C. Smart's "Sensations and Brain Processes" (1959), w/ guest Chris Heath. Is there some a priori reason for denying that the mind can actually be the brain? Obviously those two words don't mean the same thing, but can we think of them as a single thing under two descriptions?

As a longtime partner and former chairman of the legendary Silicon Valley venture capital firm Sequoia, Sir Michael Moritz had a direct hand in building the modern internet. His early investments in companies like PayPal, Google, and YouTube earned him a reputation as a kingmaker in tech and made him a billionaire a few times over.  But after retiring in 2023, Moritz leaned on his early background as a journalist to investigate his own family's story for his latest book, “Auslander.” He retraces his parents' escape from Nazi Germany as children during the lead up to World War II and pieces together the stories of other close family members who were killed in the Holocaust. Kara and Michael talk about why his parents never identified as “survivors” of the Nazis,  and the ways tragedy and grief are passed down through generations. They also reflect on the modern rise of authoritarian leaders around the world, and the parallels Micahel sees to the past.  Questions? Comments?
