This early spirituality blossomed further after she spent a year studying in Berkeley, a place she jokes makes it nearly impossible to leave without embracing witchcraft. Over time, Sarah found that her love for herbs and her spiritual path intertwined, leading her to cultivate a practice that honors both the magic of the natural world and her own personal journey.How to connect Sarah : Website : https://www.greenmoonwitchery.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/greenmoonwitchery/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahekd/Meet Ashleigh Bodell – your guide to the mystical and the magical on the Big Crystal Energy Podcast.By day, she's a dedicated orthopedic physician assistant, but by night, she dives deep into the metaphysical, exploring crystals, energy work, and the unseen forces that shape our world.

Send us a textKen Kahn takes us on a fascinating journey through the evolution of artificial intelligence in education—from his early days at MIT's AI Laboratory in the 1970s to today's revolutionary chatbot capabilities. As the author of "The Learner's Apprentice: AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity," Ken shares a vision where AI serves not as a replacement for teachers but as a collaborative partner in learning.The conversation reveals how surprisingly accessible AI has become for creative educational projects. Ken demonstrates how anyone—without coding skills—can build web applications, interactive stories, and augmented reality games through simple, conversational interactions with AI tools. His examples range from playful nonsense word generators to complex "Emoji Adventures" where students can command digital objects through voice control.What makes Ken's approach revolutionary is the fundamental shift in how we think about human-AI collaboration. Rather than focusing on complex "prompt engineering," Ken advocates for an iterative, conversational approach where we start simple and build through feedback. This mirrors authentic creative processes and helps students develop critical thinking and communication skills along the way. The AI becomes what Ken calls an "apprentice colleague"—a co-thinker, proofreader, pair programmer, and brainstorming buddy that amplifies human potential rather than replacing it.For educators concerned about implementation, Ken offers practical strategies for classroom integration. Even with age restrictions on direct student access, teachers can facilitate whole-class AI interactions on smartboards, with students contributing ideas while the teacher manages the interface. His concept of "guidance prompting" allows teachers to customize AI experiences for specific educational contexts, ensuring age-appropriate support for project-based learning.Looking toward the future, Ken is exploring multi-agent systems where multiple chatbots with different roles—like programmer and digital artist—collaborate while students observe or participate. These developments promise even more sophisticated educational applications that enhance human creativity rather than diminish it.Ready to transform your approach to technology in the classroom? Explore "The Learner's Apprentice" and discover how AI can become a powerful intellectual ally for both teachers and students in developing the creative potential of the next generation.

About the Guest(s): Willie Lawson is a prominent conservative commentator and the voice behind "The Morning Report," a production of FightBackMedia.com. Known for his forthright and dynamic presentation style, Willie delivers comprehensive analyses on political issues, emphasizing urban conservative perspectives. As the owner and host of multiple media outlets such as FightBackMediaTV.com, he is actively involved in promoting liberty-focused discussions and countering mainstream media narratives. Episode Summary: In this riveting episode of "The Morning Report," host Willie Lawson delves into a groundbreaking initiative proposed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Infusing his unique brand of urban conservative commentary, Willie explores the implications of DeSantis's plan to utilize Florida National Guard JAG officers as immigration judges—a bold move likened to a "constitutional hand grenade." The discussion zeroes in on the national security aspects of immigration control, critiquing federal inaction and spotlighting Operation Tidal Wave, Florida's state-led immigration enforcement plan. Willie articulates why DeSantis's proposal, which challenges traditional federal immigration jurisdiction, holds significant potential for altering the dynamics of immigration enforcement at the state level. Incorporating pertinent keywords like "Florida immigration policy," "DeSantis immigration reforms," and "state-led immigration enforcement," the episode reveals the possible transformative impacts this strategy could have across border states. Lawson brings a critical eye to the perceived media bias and federal government's inefficacy, juxtaposing these with state initiatives that highlight leadership and resolve. Key Takeaways:Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposes using state National Guard JAG officers as immigration judges to tackle the border crisis effectively.Operation Tidal Wave represents a pioneering state-led initiative aimed at filling the gaps left by federal inaction on immigration enforcement.The move challenges the federal monopoly on immigration control, potentially setting a precedent for other border states.Criticism from left-leaning media contrasts sharply with the silence during sanctuary city initiatives opposing federal law enforcement.This episode stresses the importance of state-level leadership in addressing national security issues and highlights the political tension surrounding federal and state roles in immigration.Notable Quotes:"Governor Ron DeSantis, my governor of the state of Florida, dropped a constitutional hand grenade.""If we can have sanctuary cities refusing to enforce immigration law, why can't we have sovereign states stepping up to enforce it?""We've got a border that leaks like a sieve and an immigration court backed up like LA traffic or Atlanta traffic.""DeSantis just said, hold my caffeato and rewrote the rule book.""If this gets people talking and forces the federal government to either act or defend their inaction, the mission accomplished."Resources:FightBackMedia.com - The show's main platform offering urban conservative insights and updates.FightBackMediaTV.com - Media outlet for more content from Willie Lawson.Listen to the full episode of "The Morning Report" for an insightful take on the evolving dynamics of immigration enforcement and stay tuned for more thought-provoking discussions from FightBackMedia.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/morning-report--3694168/support.

If you're a coach, consultant, or creator who's tired of chasing vanity metrics and wondering why a massive follower count isn't translating into income—or impact—this episode is a must-listen. In it, you'll get a raw, real look at how to actually monetize a small audience. You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories from a coach who's helped influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers struggling to hit $10k/month, while others with just a few thousand raving fans are consistently earning $30k, $40k, even $50k. This isn't about hype—it's about purpose-driven messaging, building community around a deeper mission, and using a powerful strategy that includes your “big idea,” identity, unique mechanism, and social proof to attract and convert your ideal clients. If you're ready to stop chasing numbers and start building a business that brings both freedom and transformation, tune in now. Your message matters more than ever.   “I find that if you truly nurture people which stands for, care for and encourage the development of, you're gonna have people that stick around with you. You're not gonna have leads that just die on a list. You're gonna have leads that are constantly engaged with you, because you are truly helping them grow. You are solving problems.”   Key Takeaways: A Big Audience Doesn't Equal Big Income: Many influencers with huge followings are barely scraping by, while others with small, engaged audiences are making 5-figure months. It's not about how many followers you have—it's about how you nurture and serve them. Purpose-Driven Brands Win: People connect with why you do what you do, not just what you do. Infusing your deeper mission into your brand builds loyalty and attracts your ideal clients. The Four Sales You Must Make: To convert leads into clients, you must sell: A new belief (big idea); A new identity they aspire to; A unique mechanism (your signature framework); and Social proof (stories and case studies) Content Ecosystems Outperform Linear Funnels: Traditional funnels are outdated. People engage through multiple platforms and in non-linear ways. Creating a strategic, nurturing content ecosystem (e.g., Facebook + YouTube + email) keeps your audience engaged and ready to buy when the time is right. Messaging is the 5% That Drives 95% of Results: Whether you're running ads, posting content, or speaking to your list—your ability to communicate your message clearly and persuasively is the most powerful lever in your business.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Send us a textIn this enlightening episode, we take a deep dive into the transformative power of guided meditation, focusing on the themes of healing and personal growth. The episode opens up with an exploration of how our breath serves as a foundation for wellness, providing listeners with practical techniques designed to encourage deep, restorative breathing. We discuss the importance of releasing what no longer serves us, allowing us to create space for healing energy to flow in. Providing a refreshing narrative, our meditation guides listeners in building awareness around their physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.Listeners are invited to envision a safe space for their meditation practice, crucial for achieving the stillness necessary for transformation. As we guide them through the process, we invoke the imagery of shedding past burdens like a phoenix rising from the ashes, encouraging an expansive and loving mindset. Each segment of the meditation allows for reflection and connect with one's true self, enabling participants to recognize and affirm their desires for happiness and healing. Throughout the episode, we demonstrate how aligning the heart and mind can activate our highest potential and lead us towards personal transformation. Infusing gratitude into the practice, we remind listeners of the infinite possibilities available to them.

[This is an encore of Episode 100, originally released November 9, 2022]. Paul's award-winning achievements in the music industry are beyond compare. His work has woven itself into the fabric of 20th and 21st century popular culture. His memorable songs have touched multiple generations around the world. But, as with many alcoholics, Paul's genius grew out of a Dickensian childhood, full of family upheavals and physical challenges that left him with little solace, save his song-writing. By the time alcohol and drugs entered the picture in his early 20's, his musical talents had been honed into a career in which he enjoyed unbridled creativity and massive success during the 1970's. But Paul's burgeoning alcoholism cunningly resided off-stage, in the shadows of his own denial and the enabling of those around him. By 1989, after a decade lost to the disease, Paul faced the bleak reality of his alcoholism and its devastating effects on his life and those he loved. As the gates of hell loomed ever-larger with each passing day, a series of “God-moments” occurred that brought Paul to his knees at the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous. Willing to embrace AA's Program of action, he embarked on a spiritual journey that ultimately saved him. Over the years, he has offered his experience and hope to countless alcoholics, both inside and outside the rooms. Infusing his own fame and fortune with the humility of one who has thoroughly worked a spiritually-guided Program, Paul enjoys his broad role as a trusted servent to those who need AA now or may need it in the future. His gentle, yet powerful, words of encouragement and hope are every bit as inspiring and heart-felt as the songs he created over the years. The challenges of producing an anonymous interview with someone so well-known were considerable. But both Paul and I turned the final outcome over to a power greater than ourselves. I believe you will be pleased by the results. Unfortunately, the sound quality is less than stellar as Zoom was somewhat glitchy the day of the interview. But give it a few minutes. Paul's story will whisk you away to a clear and wonderful awareness of his words. So please enjoy the next hour and ten minutes of AA Recovery Interviews, my one hundredth podcast, as you listen to the insightful and exhilarating words of my friend and AA brother, Paul W. If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio. I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon.

Let this breath wash over you, Silencing the noise, calming the storm within. LONG PAUSE And as you continue to breathe, A silence envelops you, Cradling you into a state Where serenity is renewed. LONG PAUSE So, dwell in this quiet, With each inhale and exhale, Feel your thoughts slow down, As tranquility prevails. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine, if you will, A soft, white feather floating down towards you. It lands softly at your feet, Bringing with it purity and peace anew. PAUSE In moments, The feather lifts and touches your toes, Softening your stance, And in a tender sweep, It cools and calms. PAUSE Now, your feet and toes, Sink deeper into rest. Your connection to the earth Is softening, stress-free at best. PAUSE The feather floats gently, Reaching your shins and knees, Where it brushes away tightness, Flowing with an effortless ease. PAUSE Now, feel the feather lightly rest, In the folds of your knees, Easing any discomfort, So they flex with simplicity. PAUSE Slowly, the feather rises, To your thighs, carrying lightness, Infusing them with calm, And reducing any tightness. PAUSE Next, the feather rests Gently upon your hips, Dissolving any heaviness, With its soft, healing tips. PAUSE The feather then dances, Across your abdomen, Spreading stillness and silence, Restoring peace again. PAUSE To your core, this feather brushes, Softening the inner noise, Calming self-doubt and inner turmoil, With a quiet, soothing poise. PAUSE You pause here, Breathing in the softness, The feather's silent whispers, Comfort your body's fortress. PAUSE Now to your chest the feather floats, Easing the heart, opening wide, Healing old wounds gently, Allowing peace to reside. PAUSE The feather drifts to your shoulders and neck, Releasing burdens with its touch, So they feel light and free, Unburdened by too much. PAUSE Ascending to your throat, The feather nestles softly, Healing your voice and expressions, With tranquility and modesty. PAUSE Now, your face feels the caress Of the feather's gentle grace, Softening your gaze, And bringing peace to this space. PAUSE Lastly, the feather rises, To the crown of your head, Spreading its calm far and wide, As you lie in your bed. PAUSE And now, your whole being is like the feather, Light, floating, and bright, Hold this calm, share its silence, Into the day and throughout the night.  PAUSE Sweet dreams, beautiful.
