Send us a textHave you ever walked into a holiday gathering with a smile on your face and a knot in your stomach? You're passing the potatoes, making small talk, and meanwhile you're sitting on years of unspoken hurt, unresolved conversations, and roles you never quite chose but still end up playing.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're talking directly to you if your relationship (or family dynamics) already feel shaky and the holidays crank everything up to a ten. We'll unpack why this season doesn't create conflict, it magnifies what's been left unresolved... old wounds, family roles, people pleasing, anxious attachment, and the “keep the peace at all costs” habits that quietly erode connection.Inside, we explore:What conflict actually is: the collision between our expectations and realityHow people pleasing and staying “nice” often keeps you stuck in illusion instead of realityWhy unresolved tension turns tiny comments into huge reactions around the tableWhat it really means to emotionally regulate (and why it's more like holding a plank than being perfectly calm)How to see conflict as information, not danger, so you can respond instead of explode or shut downOur “holiday decoder” for common one-liners (“Let's just keep it simple this year,” “Let's not talk about politics,” etc.) and what's really being said underneathIf you're tired of dreading gatherings, biting your tongue, or blowing up and then regretting it, this conversation will help you start seeing conflict differently – as a doorway to clarity instead of a sign that everything's falling apart.Want extra support this holiday season?If things already feel tense or overwhelming, the Holiday Survival Bundle gives you the tools to steady yourself fast.For $97 or 2 payments of $55, you'll get:The Holiday Stress Test to pinpoint your exact pressure pointsThree core relationship skill programs to help you:regulate your emotionscommunicate without blowupsstay connected during the hardest weeks of the yearThese tools are simple, fast to use, and made for real-life holiday chaos.Get the bundle here: https://stacibartley.com/holiday-bundle-ncTimestamps: 02:09 Unresolved History and Family Roles06:18 Understanding Conflict: Expectations vs. Reality10:08 The Illusion of People Pleasing12:36 Emotional Regulation and Communication14:54 Practical Examples and Skills for Conflict Resolution21:08 The Importance of Emotional Tension25:33 Recognizing the Precipice: Taking a Pause25:52 The Power of Movement: Shake a Bush26:11 Emotional Regulation in Relationships28:49 Understanding Conflict and Chaos33:25 Navigating Holiday Stress35:37 Introducing the Holiday Survival Bundle38:20 Fan Mail and Listener Questions41:20 Holiday Conversation Decoder Challenge45:13 Final Thoughts and Resources

In this episode, Dr. Claudia Thompson explores the theme of self-adequacy and personal empowerment. She discusses the importance of recognizing one's own power and wisdom, the illusion of inadequacy, and the necessity of standing up for oneself. Through affirmations and personal anecdotes, she encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, clarify their energies in relationships, and face challenges as opportunities for growth. The conversation emphasizes that everyone is enough and capable of achieving their goals, urging listeners to trust themselves and take action towards their desires.

This is not a “normal” week — Mars squares Saturn, Mercury shocks Uranus, Venus hits the Nodes, and Neptune finally moves forward.If you've been waiting for a sign, a shift, or a breaking point — this is it.We start under a fiery Leo Moon, move into Virgo clarity, and end in Libra recalibration. What was revealed during last week's Full Moon is now being tested, sorted, and put into motion.

In this episode, I sit down with Time itself, the ancient, unmoving force that measures every decision, exposes every delay, and watches every life rise or fall. Not the ticking on a clock, but the eternal king that reveals what you truly value by how you spend your days. We dive into the illusion of “later,” the cost of hesitation, the slow death of comfort, the truth behind regret, and the urgency required to build the life you want before your window closes. This is a confrontation with the one thing you can't escape, can't negotiate with, and can't get back once it's gone. If you've ever felt behind or afraid of wasting your life, this conversation will give you the clarity, and the pressure, you've been avoiding.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

From the self-imposed boundaries to the unconscious patterns dictating your choices, "Above the Illusion" guides you to break free from the mental fog and step into undeniable personal growth.This isn't just a book about change – it's about learning how to see. When you learn to recognize what is real and what is fabricated by fear and doubt, you gain the clarity, awareness, and self-respect necessary to reshape your life."Above the Illusion" will leave you more prepared, more conscious, and more powerful than ever before – ready to live with a sharpness that cuts through deception and a confidence rooted in truth.Buy now. https://a.co/d/8w516R7

In this episode of Soulful and Sober, I talk about the importance of trusting ourselves and our bodies, especially when it comes to alcohol. I share why listening to your intuition matters and how to recognize the signs that drinking may no longer be serving you. I also explore the pitfalls of moderation, the subtle ways alcohol can impact your well-being, and what it can look like to choose something different.

As of December first, officials across the U.S. have executed 44 people in 11 states, making 2025 one of the deadliest years for state sanctioned executions. In this week's episode we talk to Malcolm Gladwell, whose new podcast series dives into one case to understand how the system operates and the reality that who gets sentenced to die often depends on things that have nothing to do with guilt or innocence. Intercept reporter Liliana Segura also joins the conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's World of DaaS LM Brief: MIT's new research reveals how large language models can be fooled by their own grammar. By prioritizing sentence structure over sense, these systems risk producing confident but misleading outputs—and even ignoring built-in safety rules. Listen to this short podcast summary, powered by NotebookLM.

In this monologue, Kushal talks about privacy in the current day and age. Privacy is buzzword that gets peddled every now and then by wannabe internet libertarians. The latest advent of wannabe libertarianism was the outrage around the Sanchar Saathi App where we had the government starting with a nnouncement and ending with a complete roolback. But beyond all the outrage is sheer stupidity of Indian libertarians that give arguments like "they trust google than the Indian government because it is a private company." #sancharsaathi #privacy #socialmedia #snooping ------------------------------------------------------------ Listen to the podcasts on: SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/kushal-mehra-99891819 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1rVcDV3upgVurMVW1wwoBp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-c%C4%81rv%C4%81ka-podcast/id1445348369 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-carvaka-podcast ------------------------------------------------------------ Support The Cārvāka Podcast: Buy Kushal's Book: https://amzn.in/d/58cY4dU Become a Member on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPx...

A special commentary by Gary: “Happiness is the quiet truth that remains when illusion dissolves.” Gary Null PhD There are conversations we must return to again and again, not because they are comfortable, but because they illuminate something essential about the human condition. Happiness is one of those conversations. And yet, in all our modern discussions about well-being, ambition, success, identity, and progress, we often overlook the foundation that held earlier generations together—the quiet structures of morality, ethics, community, and responsibility. 

Boris Rhein fordert eine Neuordnung der Finanzbeziehungen zwischen Bund und Ländern. Der hessische Ministerpräsident pocht auf eine strikte Einhaltung der Veranlassungskonnexität bei kostspieligen Bundesgesetzen. Er fordert außerdem eine Neuordnung des Länderfinanzausgleichs. Hessen müsse Schulden aufnehmen, um Leistungen in anderen Bundesländern zu finanzieren: „Das kann doch nicht richtig sein.“Die gewaltsamen Ausschreitungen in Gießen verurteilt Rhein als Angriff auf die Demokratie. Der Staat müsse die Versammlungsfreiheit auch für die AfD gewährleisten. „Der Normalzustand einer normalen Demonstration muss doch sein, dass gar kein Polizist verletzt ist“, stellt Rhein klar.Rhein lobt die „Junge Gruppe“ für die angestoßene Debatte zur Generationengerechtigkeit. Er mahnt dennoch zur Geschlossenheit, um die Regierung nicht zu gefährden. Jeder Abgeordnete trage auch eine Gesamtverantwortung: „Die CDU ist das letzte Bollwerk gegen alles Radikale“, warnt Rhein vor einem Scheitern der Koalition.[08:37]Der Präsident des ZVEI (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e. V.) beschreibt die Abhängigkeit der deutschen Industrie von internationalen Lieferketten. Gunther Kegel warnt vor der Illusion einer europäischen Autarkie im Halbleitersektor. Stattdessen müsse man ein „Level-Playing-Field“ mit China und den USA durch gezielte Industriepolitik schaffen. Kegel fordert, dass die Bundesregierung mit Subventionen versucht, große Halbleiter-Hersteller nach Deutschland zu holen.[02:30]Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

A New York Times bestselling author, Ivy League women's rights lawyer turned life coach, and host of the Unfu*k Your Brain podcast, she is none other than Kara Loewentheil. In our conversation, Kara shares her journey from law to life coaching, and emphasises the significance of thought work and self-compassion in overcoming societal pressures and internalised shame. We explore confidence as a crucial skill set for creating a life that aligns with one's true desires, rather than conforming to limiting societal norms. Kara also talks about why she prefers the term persistence to consistency in the realm of personal development, and we also explore the importance of cultivating a strong relationship with oneself.

"Convenience says, don't think, we'll decide for you." In this episode, Heather discusses the concept that convenience can often be a deceptive trap that leads to disconnection and dissatisfaction in our lives. She explores how the pursuit of convenience can undermine our relationships, hinder personal growth, and create a passive approach to life.  By emphasising the importance of choosing depth, presence, and intentionality over ease, she encourages listeners to embrace the inconvenient moments that often lead to meaningful experiences and growth. Takeaways Convenience can lead to disconnection in relationships. Effort is essential for building closeness and meaningful connections. Living on autopilot can make us passive consumers of life. Convenience can numb discomfort and hinder personal growth. Inconvenient moments often lead to breakthroughs and deeper understanding. Choosing depth over convenience is crucial for fulfillment. The holiday season is a time to prioritize connection over ease. Intentional living requires reflection and active choices. Convenience can create a life that feels fine but unfulfilling.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Steve Winton from Lakeland, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 15:3-5 "And Samson said to them, 'This time I shall be innocent in regard to the Philistines, when I do them harm.' So Samson went and caught 300 foxes and took torches. And he turned them tail to tail and put a torch between each pair of tails. And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines and set fire to the stacked grain and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards." — Judges 15:3-5 Samson is furious. His wife's father gave her away to another man, and now humiliation burns inside him. So he cooks up a plan—literally. He ties torches between the tails of 300 foxes and lets them loose in Philistine fields, torching grain and olive orchards. For Samson, it felt like justice. For the Philistines, it was destruction. And shortly, the retaliation would escalate. That's the way revenge works—it feels satisfying for a moment, but it never ends there. It multiplies the misery. Revenge never heals your hurt; it multiplies it. When you've been betrayed or wronged, the urge to "get even" screams loud. We daydream about comebacks, plots, or even just the perfect cutting words. And for a moment, it feels powerful. But it never brings peace—it only fans the flames of bitterness. Samson's fire scorched the Philistines, but it also scorched his future. His revenge didn't settle the score; it made the fight bigger. God calls us to a better way. Romans 12:19 says, "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'" God can handle justice better than you ever could. Revenge chains you to anger; forgiveness frees you to live. ASK THIS: Where are you tempted to "get even" right now? How have you seen revenge backfire in your life before? Why is it so hard to trust God with justice? What might forgiveness free you from today? DO THIS: Write down the name of the person you want revenge on. Pray: "God, vengeance belongs to You. I give this into Your hands." PRAY THIS: Lord, You see the hurt in my heart. I want revenge, but I choose to release it to You. Free me from bitterness, and help me trust You with justice. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Battle Belongs."

You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit -- Most business owners believe selling their company is a single event—a signature on a dotted line. But according to Chris Spratling, Founder of Chalk Hill Blue, treating your exit like an event is the fastest way to leave millions on the table. In this episode, we unpack why the "illusion of readiness" kills deal value and why over half of all founders regret their exit within 12 months. Chris shares his experience from the private equity and consulting worlds to explain exactly what modern buyers are looking for. We move beyond basic EBITDA multiples to discuss the psychology of the seller, how to survive forensic due diligence, and the shift from "growth at all costs" to "predictability." If you are building a business with the intention of selling—whether next year or in a decade—this conversation is your blueprint for maximum value and zero regret. In this episode, you will learn: The "Illusion of Readiness": Why having a profitable business does not mean you have a sellable business. The 8-10 Drivers of Value: What acquirers actually look for (hint: it's not just your bottom line). Deal Structure Strategy: How to align earn-outs, non-competes, and tax efficiency with your personal life goals. The Negotiation Edge: How one seller secured a 40% premium over the initial offer simply by being better prepared than the buyer. Market Shifts: Why post-COVID buyers are paying for predictability over hockey-stick growth. The Regret Trap: Why 50% of owners hate their deal a year later and how to ensure you aren't one of them. -- Timestamps: (01:49) Why selling is a journey, not an event (03:36) The difference between Perceived Value and Market Value (05:56) Seller Readiness vs. Business Readiness (09:21) How to negotiate deal structures and multiple bids (17:55) How buyer psychology has changed in the last 5 years (22:54) The #1 piece of advice: "Prepare like your life depends on it" -- Chris Spratling is the founder of Chalkhill Blue Limited, a leading business coaching and consulting practice that helps UK business owners scale effectively and prepare for profitable exits.

Vulcan breaks down the ultimate illusion of the modern age: the belief that better tools lead to true mastery.He explores the Convenience Trap of wanting the "best, biggest, newest" device (software, camera, carbon-plated shoes). But this reliance leads to the Complaint Reflex ("I could have done better if my tool was better").Key Questions Addressed:Quill vs. Keyboard: Does faster distribution make the work better?The Placebo Effect: Does new gear boost your confidence and speed, or does it mask a lack of fundamental skill?The Illusion of Quality: The best camera needs a photographer; the best software needs a writer. You still have to take the photo.The Stoic Challenge:The tool is indifferent—it's external and fragile. Your competence is internal and anti-fragile. What is your Plan B? If the answer to tool failure is "I quit," you've mastered dependence, not utility.Final Challenge: Invest effort that cannot be taken away. Master the skill, and you will master your utility.

In this powerful audio experience, I interview the voice of nothingness (Apathy) the mindset of emotional emptiness and internal decay. Apathy reveals what life feels like when nothing matters, how the mind shuts down, why people stop trying, and how self-respect collapses without them noticing. It talks about drifting through life, doing the bare minimum, living without excitement or pain, and watching your potential fade in silence. This is one of the rawest, darkest, most philosophical conversations you'll ever hear, a look into the void most people never confront.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

If you've ever told yourself, “I'll finally relax when my relationship is better, my house is cleaner, my body looks different, my career is farther along,” this conversation is for you and me both. As we step into the holiday season - a time that invites reflection, gratitude, and sometimes a little extra pressure - I'm revisiting this episode because the message is timeless. We're talking about cultivating contentment in the life you actually have, not some upgraded future version of it, and how to feel more at peace inside yourself without giving up your dreams, your drive, or your big, beautiful goals. We'll look at the difference between quick hits of happiness and that steadier “all is well in my world” feeling, the paradox of being an ambitious human who also wants to enjoy today, and some very practical ways to take inventory of your life, question old beliefs about worth and achievement, and stop outsourcing your emotional climate to your circumstances. As you listen, I'd love for you to consider: What have you been making your happiness conditional on? And what might change if today, messy and imperfect as it is, actually counted as a good life?

When Rest Feels Wrong: Why You Can't Relax & How to Feel Safe RestingDo you ever sit down to rest… and immediately feel tense, guilty, or like you “should” be doing something?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW explores why rest can actually feel unsafe for people living in chronic anxiety, stress, or high-performance mode. Matt explains how busyness becomes a persona, how overworking turns into emotional avoidance, and why your nervous system doesn't trust stillness — even when your life looks “successful” on the outside.If you feel restless when you slow down, or you only allow yourself to rest when you've “earned it,” this episode will help you understand what's really going on underneath and how to start re-teaching your body that it's safe to stop.

"Your enoughness is not determined by what you do." Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, how much you achieve, how hard you work… it still doesn't feel like enough? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, I invite you into a deep exploration of one of the greatest illusions we carry as human beings, the lie that says, "I am not enough." This conversation is a journey back to the truth of who you are. Together, we peel back the layers of childhood conditioning, emotional survival patterns, and unconscious programming that convinced you that your worth was something you had to earn, hustle for, or prove. You'll discover how this lie hides behind perfectionism, over-giving, success, achievement, and the constant push to be more, and how it subtly shapes your relationships, your choices, and even your destiny. This episode is an invitation to remember the essence of your being: the part of you that was never broken, never unworthy, never not enough. The part of you that is whole, perfect, and complete exactly as you are. Listen to this episode and learn how to finally dissolve the lie of not-enoughness so you can reclaim the truth of who you really are. Timestamps:  (00:00:54) -  What "not enoughness" looks like for high achievers (00:02:43) -  Perfectionism, overgiving & the hidden forms of unworthiness (00:04:03) -  You were not born feeling unworthy (00:05:12) -  How childhood conditions us to earn love (00:06:08) -  Kute's personal story growing up in his father's ministry (00:07:46) -  How identity forms around pleasing, proving, and performing (00:08:41) -  How culture and religion reinforce unworthiness (00:09:55) -  Sneaky ways "I'm not enough" hides in everyday life (00:10:26) -  Why success can't fix the inner void (00:11:20) -  Fact vs. story: the difference we must learn (00:12:48) -  Recognizing the cost of holding onto the lie (00:13:46) -  Step 1: Questioning the story you made up (00:14:55) -  Step 2: Reinterpreting childhood events (00:15:42) -  How to meet the inner voice with compassion (00:16:50) -  Healing through self-love and internal reframing (00:18:19) -  You were never not enough, reclaiming your true self (00:20:00) -  How the "not enough" identity becomes a form of control (00:21:47) -  Why letting go feels scary (00:22:40) -  Releasing the belief and grieving what was missing Some questions I ask:  Where did the voice saying "I'm not enough" first come from? Whose voice does your inner critic actually sound like? What events from childhood shaped how you interpreted your worth? What else could those events have meant besides "I'm not enough"? What would change in your life if you stopped believing this lie? How does holding onto "I'm not enough" give you a false sense of control? In this episode, you will learn about:  How love became confused with performance in childhood, and how that pattern still limits you today. The sneaky ways not-enoughness shows up in your relationships, boundaries, finances, and self-expression. How to trace this belief back to its origin and reinterpret the moment that shaped your identity. How childhood conditioning creates a "transactional relationship" with love. How to rewire your self-worth from the inside out. A powerful way to reconnect with the part of you that is untouched by trauma, infinitely worthy, and already whole.   Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.com Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com   Resources with Kute Blackson:   Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.
