Rightwing media often spread the myth that trans people are violent or dangerous — a false narrative with zero evidence. These “trans terror” stories persist online and in the news, fueling real-world harm against the trans community. In this episode, Bridget and producer Joey Patt unpack the origins of these myths, explain why they stick, and show how the false idea of “trans terror” makes everyone less safe.

Travel has the power to transform us, not just by the destinations we explore but through the profound realizations and connections we forge along the way. Ashley Brown's journey is a testament to this transformative power, encapsulated beautifully in our soulful and heartfelt conversation. From Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Parker, Colorado, and many places in between, Ashley's upbringing was anything but ordinary. Early exposure to diverse cultures set the stage for her life's trajectory. Moving from private to public school, from the sunny shores of Florida to the mountains of Colorado, Ashley encountered change with resilience and curiosity. Her family's adventurous spirit saw her tagging along on both domestic and international travels, embedding a deep love for exploration and language.Her story goes beyond the typical tales of a well-traveled person. It's about the undercurrents of empathy, curiosity, and inclusivity that travel instills in a person. Ashley's multilingual abilities and multicultural background allowed her not just to perceive the world through various lenses but also to connect with it on a deeply empathetic level.One of the most compelling chapters in Ashley's journey is the inception and growth of The Conscious Crop. Born out of a period of introspection and a desire to merge her spiritual journey with her entrepreneurial spirit, The Conscious Crop is a sustainable, upcycled, and eco-friendly retail venture. It reflects Ashley's deep empathy for the planet and her commitment to conscious living.Travel, as Ashley's story beautifully illustrates, is more than just about the places we visit. It's about the internal transformations we undergo, the connections we forge, and the empathetic lens through which we start to view the world. It's about finding our tribe, aligning our careers with our passions, and making a meaningful impact.In the words of Ashley, the essence of travel and life is about “finding soul tribes in unlikely places,” and “saying yes to the universe.” Her story is a compelling call to embrace our multifaceted journeys, to seek transformation in every adventure, and to live intentionally, passionately, and consciously.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:09 Growing up in a culturally rich background07:15 The Power of Multilingualism and Cultural Identity09:13 Setting your own identity through living all over the worl15:00 Transformative Travel Experiences: From Childhood to Adulthood21:02 What is Astrocartography22:01 Ashley's Soul Hustle - Conscious Crop22:01 Embarking on a Soul Hustle: The Birth of Conscious Crop30:07 Launching The Conscious Crop: A Sustainable Fashion Journey31:24 Collaborating with The Retreat: Merging Fashion and Healing32:16 The Impact of Conscious Crop at The Retreat37:17 Reflections on The Retreat Experience45:13 Integrating Travel Experiences into Everyday Life55:58 Conclusion and Next StepsIn this episode:Episode 9: https://transform-with-travel.captivate.fm/episode/009-use-astrology-to-plan-your-travels-with-zoe-cardiffResources & Links:Ready for your next adventure?

This episode of Your Big Next is for the high-achieving founder who's quietly wondering, “Why doesn't this feel aligned anymore?” You've grown. Your business has grown. But something's off—and deep down, you know it's not a strategy issue. It's a stewardship shift.I'm getting honest about what it looks like to outgrow your current model of success—and how we unknowingly become the very bottleneck to our next big possibility. I call it the Invisible Success Trap—when the strategies that once created growth start to create pressure, misalignment, and internal resistance.In this episode, I walk you through:

In Intergroup Conflict, Recategorization, and Identity Construction in Acts: Breaking the Cycle of Slander, Labeling and Violence (Bloomsbury, 2023) Hyun Ho Park employs social identity to create the first thorough analysis via such methodology of Acts 21:17-23:35, which contains one of the fiercest intergroup conflicts in Acts. Park's assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts.After surveying previous studies of the text, Park first analyses Paul's welcome, questioning, and arrest, and how slandering and labeling make Paul an outsider. Park then describes how, through defending his Jewish identity and the Way, Paul nuances his public image and re-categorizes himself and the Way as part of the people of God. When Paul identifies himself as a Roman and later a Pharisee, Park examines Luke's ambivalent attitude toward Rome and the Pharisees, and assesses how Paul escapes dangerous situations by claiming different social identities at different times.Finally, he discloses the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence not only against the Way but also against the Jews and challenges the discursive process of identity construction through intergroup conflict with an out-group, especially the proximate “Other.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how the relevance of such scholarship is not limited to Lukan studies or even biblical studies in general; the frequent use of slander, labeling, and violence in the politics of the United States and other polarized countries around the globe demands new ways of looking at intergroup relations, and Park's argument meets the needs of those seeking a new perspective on contemporary political discord. Hyun Ho Park is Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City, California and Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Theological Forum. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Too many men are frustrated because they've forgotten—or never known—who they really are. In this kickoff to our 16-week worldview series, we go back to Genesis to reclaim the truth: you were created in the image of God.We'll talk about why this matters for your identity, leadership, work, family, and your calling.

After a short summer hiatus, we're back—clearer, deeper, and more devoted to your quantum CEO. In this solo transmission, we'll break down why identity precedes strategy and how upgrading your self-concept (not just your to-do list) is the lever that actually scales to multi-six and seven figures. From “pause = acceleration” to the energetic difference between reacting and responding, you'll get real-world frameworks plus embodied practices you can implement today.You'll hear how at Melissa Ruiz Empowerment we simplified our own product suite to scale with fewer, deeper containers—and why clients don't just buy your offer; they buy the frequency of the one who sells it. Expect journal prompts, identity audits, and the exact questions to ask yourself before you hit “publish,” so your strategy flows from a regulated, millionaire nervous system.A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE:00:00 – Identity is the strategy07:05 – Detaching from the old CEO identity10:20 – The Millionaire Frequency15:40 – Strategy without identity = the hamster wheel18:55 – The Quantum Business Model: Simplicity scales20:10 – Identity-led sales24:20 – Mentorship & communityPS: Unleash & Unveil Your Soul Business is officially starting September 15th!

In Episode 4 we take a shoddy look at "The Big Heat" and try not to get punched across the room. Along with analyzing "The Big Heat", we mention “Cat Balou”, "Taken", the Lethal Weapon films, the Batman films and "Die Hard". Next up is "Niagara"
Matt and Jen discuss the concept of the "identity gap." They explain how self-image acts as a thermostat, pulling you back to familiar, comfortable levels. They emphasize the importance of changing language and habits to close this gap and achieve success in various areas of life, including wealth, health, and relationships. They highlight the significance of adopting a new identity before achieving it, as it influences decisions, actions, and outcomes. They suggest strategies like awareness, language upgrade, habit formation, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals, and celebrating small wins to foster this identity shift.Listen In!Thank you for listening to this episode of Ignite Your Impact!As referenced in the show you can visit our website at phenixmethod.comJoin our Private Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/phenixmethodbodyandlifestyletransformations for lifestyle transformation hacks that the pros use.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Feeling the pressure to perform, please, or prove? Leadership doesn't collapse because of external pressure — it unravels from internal misalignment. This episode shows you how to reclaim influence from the inside out.When pressure builds — do you perform, please, or posture?In today's episode, we're diving deep into a leadership truth few acknowledge: real influence doesn't come from managing perception. It comes from anchoring in identity — especially when the stakes are high.Whether you're a founder, creative, or leader carrying silent pressure, this episode reveals how internal misalignment slowly erodes your presence, integrity, and impact. Drawing on the story of Jesus in Gethsemane, we show how leadership under pressure isn't about getting louder — it's about getting truer.If you've ever felt the cost of being misunderstood, the temptation to over-explain, or the exhausting urge to control outcomes — this conversation will recalibrate your core.You'll learn:Why identity-level congruence is your leadership stabilizerHow performance-based leadership creates hidden fracturesWhat it really means to lead from integrity, not imageThe quiet power of presence when words fall shortToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I leaking energy trying to be understood, instead of being anchored in who I am?”Return to alignment. Let presence speak louder than performance.Team Recalibration Prompt:Bring this to your team: “Here's what I've been reflecting on about my own leadership under pressure. I'm committed to leading from clarity, not reaction. What's one way we can each protect integrity over perception in our work this week?”Start here — because your leadership wasn't meant to be performative. It was meant to be powerful — from the inside out.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this week's message, Josh Bayne unpacks how to build a failure-proof identity that isn't tied to success or failure, but to something unshakable. We're all chasing something. From childhood dreams to adult goals, we're wired to pursue “the good life.” But what if the life we're chasing is actually exhausting us instead of satisfying us?
In this episode, Kaavya sits down with Ari Manrique, assistant coach and former Cal women's soccer player, to explore her journey on and off the field. Ari reflects on her early love for the game, the decision to play at Berkeley, and the resilience it took to transition from player to leader after a senior season injury. She shares lessons on identity, setbacks, and community service—including being honored with the Walter A. Haas Community Service Award—and how coaching has become her way of giving back. Ari also talks about building respect as a young coach, her pursuit of sports psychology, and her vision for the future of women's soccer in the NIL era.
IntroGood morning! My name is Ken, and I serve as one of the elders here. I haven't delivered a sermon in nine years, but I've been serving in ministry the whole time—from pastoring to managing a condo complex. I've wondered if my work was spiritually significant, a feeling many of us share. Today, we'll explore the big idea that God desires to be glorified in our work, no matter where we are.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 8:22, Proverbs 3:19-20, Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 3:17-19, Proverbs 26:13, Proverbs 6:6-11, Colossians 3:23, Romans 12:11, Ephesians 4:28, Proverbs 22:29, Proverbs 18:9, Proverbs 16:3, Ephesians 2:8-9Key PointsWork is Divine and Human:God is a worker. Creation is the result of His masterful, intelligent design (Prov 3:19-20). He works wisely, and so should we.Humans are made to work. God put man in the Garden "to tend and keep it" (Gen 2:15). He infused in us a yearning to explore, create, and develop. We find purpose and provision through labor.The Fall and the Two Dangers:Sin cursed the ground, making work toilsome (Gen 3:17-19). This led to two extremes: laziness and workaholism.Laziness makes excuses ("There's a lion in the road!" Prov 26:13).Workaholism makes work an idol and our identity. We trade our souls for success, but our true identity is as God's child, regardless of our job title.Four Characteristics of Working Wisely:Work by Faith: Do everything "as unto the Lord," your unseen supervisor (Col 3:23).Work Diligently: Like the ant, don't be a sluggard (Prov 6:6). God has provided what you need, so go get it. Everyone must participate.Work for the Colony: Ants have two stomachs: one for themselves, and a second to bring food back for the colony. Work not only to nourish yourself but also to have something "to give to him who has need" (Eph 4:28).Work with Excellence: Do your work well, not just heartily (Prov 22:29). Whether you're a CEO or a burger flipper, strive for excellence because you are working for God, not men.The Pulpit of Your Work:My own experience as a pastor-turned-drywall-worker taught me this: "That job is your pulpit." We can minister in whatever "garden" God has placed us in. When we commit our work to the Lord, our thoughts and purpose become established.Joseph is a model for working diligently and with excellence, even in the worst circumstances. God vindicated him and promoted him from prison to the palace because he stayed faithful.ConclusionWhat if reaching the world was as simple as going to work? We can glorify God in our everyday jobs and minister to those around us. This is a sacred calling.Calls to ActionCommit your work to the Lord: Today, pray and put your job in His hands. Ask Him to change your thoughts and perspective.Do a self-check: Where is your identity? In your title or in Christ?Receive the Gift of Grace: We cannot earn salvation through our work; it is a gift from God. Come to the communion table and receive the gift Jesus has prepared.

Archaeologist Johan Runer joins us to explore how Viking society was held together without kings, police, or central power. From burial rituals to land rights and runestones, we look at how authority, ownership, and identity were built from the ground up.We talk about decentralized power, grave goods as legal markers, and the invisible laws that shaped Viking life. This episode is about real people, not just warriors and sagas—and how archaeology brings their world back to life.Available on Spotify, YouTube, and all major platforms.

Core 52: "A New Lens: Identity"
Mid-life crises have a bad rap.
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, hosts Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch kick off a new miniseries focused on the root causes that undermine children's confidence, specifically exploring themes of spiritual lostness and identity amnesia. They connect the life of Robin Westerman, the Minneapolis shooter who took his own life after committing horrible violence at a Catholic school and admitted in his manifesto that he was troubled by his gender confusion. Wayne and Kathy discuss how a lack of understanding of identity and it's link to God's design can lead children to feel disconnected from God and from the possibility of redemption and restoration from confusion. The conversation emphasizes the dangers of undermining confidence in children and the importance of teaching them about God's design. Tune in for insights on fostering a stronger sense of identity and faith in the next generation. Get the book referenced in this podcast, Raising Gender-Confident Kids>>

Lubna Zaidi joins The Winston Marshall Show for a fearless conversation on Islam in Britain, extremism, and the cultural crisis tearing the UK apart.From her rise as a YouTuber after The Apprentice to becoming a lightning rod for controversy, Lubna explains why she began calling out her own community for failing to integrate, excusing extremism, and protecting grooming gangs. She describes the backlash—death threats, intimidation, and even people turning up at her home—simply for speaking uncomfortable truths.They discuss the silence of so-called moderates, the dominance of extremist voices online, and the dangerous culture of denial around honour-based violence and child exploitation. Lubna warns that Britain is importing “hillbillies” from Pakistan without vetting, fuelling parallel societies that reject British values and put the country's future at risk.All this—grooming gangs, intimidation, failed integration, extremist apologists, and one woman's fight to tell the truth about what's really happening inside Britain's Pakistani Muslim community…Subscribe to Lubna's channel HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@Lubna.Candid-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 00:00 Introduction 01:21 Lubna Zaidi's Background and Journey to YouTube 04:00 Speaking Out: Breaking Points and Community Reactions 09:15 Cultural Clashes and Personal Experiences in the UK 19:24 Community Psychology and Reluctance to Address Issues 22:41 Pakistani Migration and Social Dynamics in the UK 27:18 Identity, Integration, and Celebrating Independence 31:18 Online Influencers and Community Representation 34:06 Religion, British Values, and Integration Challenges 40:19 India-Pakistan Tensions in the UK 47:10 Civil Unrest, Protests, and Fears of Division 51:36 Luton: Changes, Extremism, and Personal Encounters 56:13 Tommy Robinson: Perceptions and Changing Views 58:51 Patriotism, Self-Reflection, and the Israel-Palestine Conflict 01:02:09 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Identity cannot be found in things or position of this temporal world. It is neither something that can be claimed or defined or even redefined. True and eternal identity is determined by the character of who or what we choose to align ourselves with. That is who we represent is determined by who or what we worship. Throughout this life journey, until our last breath, the choice of who or what we worship is there. True identity in the End Times will be revealed.

#638: Fifty dollars. That's how much this couple transferred to their "Trip to Europe" savings account each time they cooked dinner instead of going to a restaurant. By year's end, they had funded their dream vacation — not through budgeting or willpower, but by hacking their habit loop. This story illustrates how James Clear approaches habit change. Clear joins us to explain the four-stage cycle that drives every behavior: cue, craving, response, and reward. You see a restaurant (cue), predict it will be convenient and tasty (craving), eat out (response), and satisfy your hunger (reward). Repeat this loop enough times and the behavior becomes automatic. Clear translates these four stages into four laws for building good habits: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. Want to break a bad habit? Flip the script — make it invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying. We explore practical strategies like habit stacking, where you attach a new behavior to an existing routine. Clear suggests saying "After I make my morning coffee, then I will review my budget for two minutes" rather than relying on motivation alone. He explains temptation bundling — pairing something you need to do with something you want to do, like only listening to your favorite podcast while meal prepping. The conversation covers why most people focus on outcomes when they should focus on identity. Instead of saying "I want to save 10,000 dollars," Clear suggests thinking "I want to become a saver" — then asking what actions a saver would take daily. Clear addresses the challenge of delayed gratification with money habits. Saving feels unrewarding in the moment because the benefits come later. He shares techniques for creating immediate satisfaction, like the couple's Europe fund or using habit tracking to mark small wins.

What happens when a book about sex work, patriarchy, and motherhood collides with our own messy stories of choice, pregnancy, and parenting? Pure Real Talk and the reality: Motherhood is never simple. In this episode, Stacy and Daynah dive into *spoiler alert* Margo's Got Money Trouble and end up everywhere from pottery-as-therapy and day drinking confessions to abortion stigma, single mom survival, and postpartum euphoria (yes, it's real). They unpack the way beauty is currency, the patriarchy still shapes every decision, and how women just keep holding it all together. And because it's us, we also detour through tramp stamps, 90s nostalgia, and the pop culture comfort food of Netflix binges. It's sharp, heartfelt, occasionally irreverent, and exactly the kind of conversation your group text wishes it was having.

In a world obsessed with self-discovery and identity, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar address the growing belief that we must look inward to define who we are. The guys challenge this cultural message directly, pointing listeners toward the true source of identity and emphasizing that our longing for meaning, worth, and purpose cannot be fulfilled by fleshly desires or self-exploration. Turning inward often results in confusion, depression, and a false sense of identity that ultimately leads to despair. Defining yourself apart from your Creator is not only futile but also a new form of legalism. True identity is not something we achieve but something we receive, and that reception begins with knowing the Lord.There is a foundational truth that you cannot truly know who you are until you understand your origin, as clearly shown in Genesis. The guys explain that people are not random molecules in motion but are created in the image of God. Mark recalls a conversation with his brother, who was struggling to share Jesus with his son. It is in these moments that believers need to revisit the essential questions about identity, origin, and purpose. Oscar outlines three practical ways to know yourself: know God, know your deficiencies, and know how deeply God loves you. True self-awareness begins with God-awareness, and as we encounter His glory, our blind spots are revealed, and our need for Christ becomes evident.The guys also warn about the subtle shifts that can happen—one day walking with the Lord and the next falling into sin. The world encourages us to love ourselves more and pursue our true identity, but scripture calls us to surrender. Oscar highlights a sermon where a woman searching for her identity realized her sense of self could never be fully achieved, only received through Christ. Knowing ourselves as believers includes understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and idols. Several of the guys share how certain things in their lives can easily become idols and how they rely on the Lord instead of external things. Every intense emotion can reveal a more profound love, one that may be misplaced. When those idols are exposed, we are called to dismantle them and enthrone Christ. The guys invite listeners to examine themselves honestly—not with despair, but with hope. Christ is our help and our freedom.In solitude and surrender, we discover who we truly are: redeemed, adopted, and loved. It is not about self-obsession but about submitting to God's will as Jesus did. By laying down our lives, we find them. By letting Christ live through us, we shine His light in a dark and dying world.Send us a textThanks for listening!
