Ephesians 3: The Church Is God's Plan - Step In, Not Out Journey Church shares announcements about a community-wide Easter egg hunt on March 21, candy donations, and an online merch store, then continues its Ephesians series in chapter 3. Jeremy recounts a Guatemala trip where Journey and Church of the Crossroads were recognized for five years of partnership in El La Paro, and shares stories that highlight gratitude and how small acts can have big impact. He explains Paul's “mystery” as what was hidden and now revealed: outsiders are brought near, divisions removed, and everyone invited in through Jesus. Writing from prison, Paul shows God works through weakness, and teaches that God's intent is to display His wisdom through the church. The message challenges treating church as optional and calls people to be present, pursue connection, use gifts, be a bridge, and strengthen inner life through Christ. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 00:17 Community Easter Egg Hunt 01:15 Journey Merch Store 02:18 Ephesians Series Setup 02:55 Guatemala Partnership 04:08 Cold Shower Gratitude 06:07 Soccer Culture Surprise 07:36 Vision Clinic Impact 09:28 Small Moments Big Story 13:08 Mystery of Inclusion 16:56 Tearing Down Dividing Walls 20:25 Paul Writes From Prison 21:25 Purpose in Prison 23:44 Church Displays Wisdom 24:54 Church Failures and Design 27:37 Praying for Inner Strength 29:55 Rooted in Love 32:44 Church Is Essential 33:51 Five Ways to Engage 37:47 One Church Among Many 38:50 Paul's Prayer Revisited 41:28 Step In Together 43:20 Closing Prayer

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones explores the power of presence over problem-solving when your daughter is navigating tough emotions.When self-doubt creeps in or social comparison takes over, it's tempting to jump in with advice, solutions, or silver linings. But Melissa shares a different approach: your daughter doesn't always need you to fix it—she needs you to be with her in it.By choosing connection over correction, parents can create emotional safety that builds real confidence. Resilience doesn't grow from having every problem solved. It grows from feeling deeply loved, supported, and understood—even in the messiest moments.Tune in to discover:Why presence is more powerful than problem-solvingHow to support big emotions like self-doubt and comparisonSimple ways to foster emotional safety at homeHow staying steady helps your daughter build inner strength and self-trustThis episode is a gentle reminder that you don't have to fix everything to raise a confident girl. Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give is simply being there.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

Blinded But Not Broken: The Unstoppable Vision of Kijuan Amey He Lost His Sight — Then Found His Purpose Kijuan Amey isn't just a speaker — he's proof that resilience can turn tragedy into purpose.

Even after medical retirement, he kept climbing: earning his education, founding Kiwi Enterprise LLC, and leading within veteran communities. A drummer, performer, and author, his life was gaining momentum — until a 2017 motorcycle accident took his eyesight, but not his vision. "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision," he says. That moment became his mission. Today, Kijuan commands stages and hearts, empowering audiences to rise beyond limits and reclaim purpose. His story doesn't dwell on loss — it radiates victory. He shows that adversity isn't the end; it's the spark. Kijuan Amey isn't just inspiring — he's unstoppable.

In today's episode, we explore the quiet power of returning home to yourself—especially when life feels chaotic, loud, or uncertain. In a world full of spiritual techniques, answers, and distractions, true transformation often comes not from adding more, but from choosing one simple practice and returning to it again and again.In this episode, we explore:How choosing one consistent practice calms overwhelm and creates inner stabilityWhy a mantra works through repetition and presence—not perfectionHow returning to one word or sound builds courage, clarity, and trust in your inner guidanceExamples of simple anchor words you can begin using todayA closing moment of reflection and blessing to carry into your weekThis episode invites you into the wisdom of devotion over accumulation through the use of a single mantra or anchor word. Whether it's a chant, a sacred word, a breath, or silence itself, this practice becomes a refuge—your inner home.You'll learn why a mantra works not because it's “perfect” or tied to a tradition, but because it reconnects you with your own inner stillness and guidance. I also share my personal relationship with an ancient chant that points to the unchanging awareness within us all—and how you can discover your own anchor.We close with a gentle blessing and short meditation to help you return to yourself in real time.Call to Action:Choose one word, sound, or phrase this week.

In this episode, Candace reflects on a powerful moment from Jay Shetty's podcast with climber Alex Honnold — a reminder that success is often just a brief moment at the end of years of repeated failure.As a climber, Alex shares that failing is constant. Projects can take five or six years of trying, falling short, adjusting, and returning — all for a few minutes of completion before moving on to the next challenge. That perspective opens a deeper conversation about how we relate to failure in our own lives.Candace invites us to reframe failure not as something to avoid, but as the very substance of the journey itself. The repetition. The discomfort. The trying again when it would be easier to quit. If things came easily, the moment of arrival wouldn't carry the same meaning.Failure builds character — grit, determination, endurance, and the ability to stay present with uncertainty. It shapes us quietly, teaching us who we are long before we ever “succeed.”This episode is a gentle reminder to stop leaving dreams in the closet or ideas stuck in the mind. To start the thing. To do the hard thing. And to walk forward knowing that failure isn't a sign you're doing it wrong — it's proof that you're on the path.

Welcome to Part 4 of our 5-part mini-series, "The Ascent."It is easy to find peace when the ground is flat and the sun is shining, but life isn't always a meadow—sometimes it is a mountain. In today's session, we leave the comfort of the Open Field to face the incline, not to conquer the mountain, but to discover the strength that has been hiding in your heart all along.This guided meditation is designed to help you build resilience and navigate the "boulders" in your path—whether they are worries, fears, or difficult people. We will practice "Altitude Breathing" to oxygenate your courage and visualize a climb that shifts your perspective from the problem to the progress you have made.In this episode, we will cover:Altitude Breathing: A breathwork technique to calm panic when the path gets steep.The Boulder Visualization: Learning to navigate around obstacles rather than fighting them.The Plateau: Recognizing how far you have come.Peak Affirmations: Use these affirmations when you feel the weight of the climb:"I am stronger than the obstacles in my way." "I take life one step at a time." "I trust my ability to figure things out." "I do not fear the climb; I embrace the growth." "I am rising." Martin's 3 Caring Tips for a Happier Life: Inspired by the climber's mindset, here is how to bring this resilience into your daily routine:Lighten Your Pack: A climber never carries what they don't need. Identify one "mental weight" you are carrying—a grudge, a worry about next week, or guilt from yesterday. Visualize taking it out of your backpack and leaving it on the side of the trail.The "Look Back" Rule: We are often so focused on the summit that we forget to appreciate the altitude we've already gained. If you feel stuck, stop and write down three things you have achieved in the last year.Choose Your Route: If you hit a roadblock, don't bang your head against it. Be like water and go around. Ask yourself, "What is the other way to solve this?" There is always another path up the mountain.Ready to go deeper?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Dr. Bob Rich for a real conversation about grief, suffering, and the choices we make when life breaks open. This episode is for anyone navigating loss, big change, or emotional pain and wondering how to keep going without forcing a “growth story.” You will hear practical ways to build self-respect, respond to anger with intention, and find meaning at your own pace. About the Guest: Dr. Bob Rich is a retired psychotherapist and author based in Halesville, Victoria. He has written The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement and shares resources through his blog, “Bobbing Around.” Key Takeaways: Treat setbacks as learning opportunities: ask “What can I learn from this?” Build a pause habit for anger: breathe, count, then respond. Let grief be wider than death: job loss, illness, divorce, and change also count. Turn love into action: create something that helps others when they hurt. Practice self-respect first, especially when self-judgment spirals.

Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en kall vinterdag i Stockholms skärgård.En: It was a cold winter's day in the Stockholms skärgård.Sv: Isiga vindar vaggade båten som Axel och Maja reste med.En: Icy winds rocked the boat that Axel and Maja traveled with.Sv: Snön började sakta falla, och horisonten blev grå.En: Snow began to slowly fall, and the horizon turned gray.Sv: Axel höll fast vid rodret medan Maja stod vid sidan av båten och tog bilder med sin kamera.En: Axel held the helm tightly while Maja stood at the side of the boat taking pictures with her camera.Sv: De var på väg mot en avlägsen ö, där tystnaden rådde och tiden verkade stå still.En: They were on their way to a remote island where silence reigned and time seemed to stand still.Sv: Axel älskade att utforska nya platser, känna kylan i vinden och doften av saltvatten.En: Axel loved exploring new places, feeling the chill in the wind and the scent of saltwater.Sv: För Maja var resan viktig på ett annat sätt.En: For Maja, the journey was important in a different way.Sv: Hon ville stå öga mot öga med sin rädsla för isolering.En: She wanted to face her fear of isolation.Sv: När de närmade sig ön, började himlen att mörkna.En: As they approached the island, the sky began to darken.Sv: Axel såg molnen tjockna och visste att en storm var på väg.En: Axel saw the clouds thicken and knew a storm was on the way.Sv: "Vi borde kanske vända," sade han tveksamt.En: "Perhaps we should turn back," he said hesitantly.Sv: Men Maja, med ett leende, sa: "Jag litar på dig.En: But Maja, with a smile, said, "I trust you.Sv: Vi klarar det här."En: We can handle this."Sv: Axel kände värmen i hennes ord och bestämde sig för att fortsätta.En: Axel felt the warmth in her words and decided to continue.Sv: Snart blev vinden starkare.En: Soon the wind grew stronger.Sv: Snön föll tätt och snabbt, och sikten blev nästan obefintlig.En: Snow fell thick and fast, and visibility became nearly nonexistent.Sv: Båten kämpade mot vågorna, men Axel höll modet uppe.En: The boat battled against the waves, but Axel kept his courage up.Sv: "Det finns en stuga på ön," ropade han över stormens brus.En: "There's a cabin on the island," he shouted over the roar of the storm.Sv: "Vi kan ta skydd där."En: "We can take shelter there."Sv: När de äntligen nådde stranden var de genomfrusna.En: When they finally reached the shore, they were frozen through.Sv: De lämnade båten och skyndade sig till en gammal fiskarstuga.En: They left the boat and hurried to an old fisherman's cabin.Sv: Inuti fann de eldstaden täckt av aska.En: Inside, they found the fireplace covered in ash.Sv: Axel skrapade bort aska, tände en eld, och snart spred sig värmen i rummet.En: Axel scraped off the ash, lit a fire, and soon warmth spread through the room.Sv: Ute rasade stormen vidare.En: Outside, the storm raged on.Sv: Inne i stugan var det lugnt, men Maja kände en stigande oro.En: Inside the cabin, it was calm, but Maja felt rising anxiety.Sv: "Tänk om stormen inte slutar?"En: "What if the storm doesn't stop?"Sv: viskade hon.En: she whispered.Sv: Axel lade en hand på hennes axel och sa lugnt: "Den slutar alltid.En: Axel placed a hand on her shoulder and said calmly, "It always stops.Sv: Jag lovar."En: I promise."Sv: Natten gick långsamt.En: The night passed slowly.Sv: De båda kämpade mot oron och rädsla.En: They both battled against worry and fear.Sv: Men när gryningen bröt igenom, hade stormen avtagit.En: But when dawn broke through, the storm had subsided.Sv: Solen glittrade på den snötäckta landskapet och reflekterades på isiga ytor.En: The sun glittered on the snow-covered landscape and reflected on icy surfaces.Sv: På vägen tillbaka styrde Axel båten med större säkerhet.En: On the way back, Axel steered the boat with greater confidence.Sv: Han hade lärt sig att lita på sina instinkter, sin uthållighet.En: He had learned to trust his instincts, his endurance.Sv: Maja stod bredvid honom och såg ut över det vackra vinterlandskapet, med känslan att hon kunde möta vilken ensamhet som helst, så länge de var tillsammans.En: Maja stood beside him and looked out over the beautiful winter landscape, with the feeling that she could face any loneliness, as long as they were together.Sv: När de kom tillbaka till fastlandet, andades båda djupt.En: When they returned to the mainland, they both took a deep breath.Sv: De hade överlevt stormen, och fann en ny styrka inom sig.En: They had survived the storm and found a new strength within themselves.Sv: De tittade på varandra, fyllda med ett nytt band.En: They looked at each other, filled with a new bond.Sv: Skärgårdens rofyllda skönhet hade gett dem en oförglömlig lektion.En: The archipelago's peaceful beauty had given them an unforgettable lesson.Sv: Trots vinterkylan, kände de hjärtan fyllda av värme och tillförsikt.En: Despite the winter cold, they felt their hearts filled with warmth and confidence.Sv: I skärgårdens tysta omfamning hade de

Most people chase leadership for the title.Few survive it for the truth.David Deane Spread has coached hundreds of CEOs and high performers — but his greatest lessons didn't come from boardrooms. They came from loss, failure, and learning how to rebuild himself from the inside out.In this raw and reflective conversation, we dive into:The emotional cost of true leadershipTurning pain into power when everything falls apartWhy calm under pressure is the most underrated superpowerHow to build authentic influence in a world full of noiseAnd the leadership secret they don't want you to know: It's never about control — it's about character.If you've ever felt like you had to hold it all together while breaking inside, this episode will change the way you see leadership, success, and yourself.

Fear isn't the enemy, it's a messenger. And when we learn how to listen, we reclaim our power. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Vadim Dekhtyar, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and licensed NLP trainer with decades of experience helping individuals and organizations navigate fear, stress, and meaningful transformation. Dr. Vadim is the founder and director of the NLP Academy and has worked internationally, from advising Lithuanian government officials and state television to consulting U.S. companies on personal and organizational wellness. He is the author of several books, including his latest, “Conquering Fear: The Path of Inner Strength”, which weaves together neuroscience, psychology, and holistic practices to offer practical, science-backed tools for overcoming anxiety and reclaiming agency. His work is grounded in a simple but powerful idea: deep emotional change should be both accessible and actionable. Together, Sharlee and Dr. Vadim explore how fear and anxiety affect both the mind and the body, why fear has become a cultural experience in our modern world, and how we can use awareness, physiology, and imagination to transform emotional pain into inner strength, resilience, and healing.   For more information about “Conquering Fear: The Path of Inner Strength” by Dr. Vadim Dekhtyar, please visit: https://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Fear-Path-Inner-Strength/dp/B0D7JR7Q11 For more information about Life Balance Clinic, please visit: https://lifebalanceclinic.com Connect with Academy NLP on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/AcademyNLP/ Connect with Vadim on Linked in at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vadim-dekhtyar-95528037/?profileId=ACoAAAexVVEBZ2ajOIMeCKpmkSLfIKJkzPzZAHA

In this episode, Swamiji continues Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 11, clarifying that when Shree Krishna says, “I am the strength of the strong,” He is not referring to muscular power but to the inner courage that enables us to persevere through difficulties. This divine strength is free from desire and attachment—pure resilience that carries seekers beyond obstacles toward their goal.  Swamiji illustrates this with the astonishing journey of Helen Keller—deaf and blind from infancy—whose inner strength, guided by God's grace and the mentorship of Anne Sullivan, enabled her to learn language, study, graduate, and even deliver lectures by feeling vibrations on the throat and mouth. Her transformation—from tantrums to worldwide philanthropy and public speaking—embodies the Gita's teaching that true strength is an inner force bestowed by the Divine.  He contrasts this with modern challenges, like toddlers developing speech deformities due to early mobile addiction, and highlights the wonder of natural language acquisition—children at around three years forming rapid neural connections (extra axons creating pathways) that allow them to absorb language simply by hearing. This innate ability, too, is a glory of God, revealing how divine strength manifests as human capacity and growth.  Swamiji closes with Sri Aurobindo's insight: you must be more persistent than the difficulty—there is no other way. The path will have challenges, but those with inner strength persevere and reach the goal. This verse invites seekers to purify their strength of selfish motives and align it with dharma, recognizing that the courage to endure is itself a manifestation of God.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

Steffi Ora began having abduction experiences with Gray extraterrestrials at age 2, which involved traumatic genetic experiments. Soon after she began experiencing abductions by Deep State operatives where she was taken to the Black Forest region of Germany where she was held in a cage and subjected to trauma, sexual exploitation, and SRA ceremonies. Steffi also encountered Reptilians and Ciakhar, where she was again physically abused.The negative experiences with Grays, Reptilians and Deep State operatives continued up to 2021 when she finally called upon her Higher Self and Inner Strength to say NO to further abductions. When she did so, she was rescued by her Star Family who then introduced her to an exciting new world of benevolent extraterrestrial contact.Steffi learned about her avatar self existing in a 6th density environment and of her extraterrestrial husband in the Galactic Envoy program. She feels her participation in the Galactic Envoy program has been successful due to the valuable intelligence she gathered in the decades of negative abuse suffered at the hands of the Deep State and their regressive extraterrestrial allies.Steffi was joined by Anita Katzenbach who assisted with translations and shared some of her own experiences and conclusions about the success of the Galactic Envoy program.Steffi can be contacted by email at:  orafromthestars@aol.comAnita Katzenbach can be reached at: linkedin.com/in/anitakatzenbachJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Aftermath of the horrific Sydney massacre What inner strength (netzach and hod) does Chanukah offer us? What are the souls of the kedoshim experiencing now? We still cannot fathom this terrible tragedy. Any words of wisdom? Why would G-d allow it to happen? How can we call G-d kind and compassionate in face of this horror? During the time of the Greeks the Jews would hide their observance due to the danger involved. How is today different? What is the special significance of this day? What comes next? What is the connection between the eighth day of Chanukah and Shemini Atzeres, completing the high holiday season? How will it work after Moshiach comes and we light eight candles on the first night? What is the significance of the new moon? Why was finding pure olive oil so significant? What's the connection between Chanukah and education? What is the significance of it being a rabbinic holiday? Why is chassidus compared to oil? Does Shammai not hold that we have to grow each day in holiness? Why is chapter 67 in Tehillim printed in the shape of a menorah? What should we focus on in the month of Teves? What are we celebrating on Hei Teves? How did the Rebbe instruct us to observe this day? Is there a connection between Chanukah and Hei Teves? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Why did Joseph ask everyone to leave the room when he revealed his identity to his brothers? Why did Joseph not inform his father over the 22 years that he is alive? Zos Chanukah Rosh Chodesh Teves Chanukah Hei Teves Vayigash How should we react to Mamdani's visit to the Ohel?

You do not have to absorb the stress of the people around you.Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we move deeper into the week, social obligations—office parties, family calls, and crowded shops—often increase. For those of us who are sensitive, this contact can feel draining. We often leave these interactions feeling exhausted, not because we did too much, but because we felt too much.In today's episode, Protecting Your Energy Field, we are building a boundary. We are learning the difference between empathy (understanding someone) and absorption (taking on their emotions).In this session, you will experience:The Cleansing Breath: A visualization-based breathwork technique where you inhale clear, restorative light and exhale the grey smoke of other people's tension.The "Glass Wall" Visualization: A powerful mental exercise to construct a transparent shield around you. This allows you to see and hear the world clearly, but ensures that negativity simply bounces off your field rather than sinking in.Affirmations for Boundaries: "I observe stress without absorbing it." "I am the guardian of my own energy."Carry this shield with you into every room you enter today.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for the final session, Day 4, where we will focus on "The Celebration"—finding genuine joy in the season on your own terms.

In this moving episode of Radio Medium Laura Lee, Spirit comes through for Elizabeth from Massachusetts, bringing forward a loving maternal grandmother with guidance for one of the most difficult crossroads of her life. Her grandmother presents a symbolic wedding band, pointing to both the family lineage and the painful marital separation Elizabeth is currently navigating. Spirit validates Elizabeth's experience of feeling like a single mother, even while in the relationship, and acknowledges the emotional exhaustion, confusion, and longing for stability she's been carrying. Through clear and compassionate messages, Spirit reminds Elizabeth that although the ground feels shaky now, she already has solid ground beneath her—in her career, her inner strength, and her ability to make grounded decisions for herself and her son. This episode offers profound validation, healing guidance, and reassurance for anyone facing relationship upheaval or stepping into a new chapter of independence.

Are you carrying burdens that feel too heavy? This episode emphasizes that God's grace will never run out, no matter what! Experience freedom as Carrie explains how to access God's love in your daily life.

Do you ever feel like self-doubt is holding you back from reaching your goals? What could you accomplish if you trusted that you had the inner strength to handle challenges? We often think success will erase self-doubt, but in reality, self-doubt often grows with increased responsibility. But learning how to manage self-doubt could be the key to creating a better life. My guest is Dr. Shadé Zahrai, a renowned expert in leadership, negotiation, and career advancement. She's also the author of a new book called Big Trust. Some of the things we discuss are: The surprising ways self-doubt can actually help you achieve your goals The biggest mistake most of us make in dealing with self-doubt The four key weaknesses that self-doubt attacks—and how to strengthen them Practical strategies to detach from negative thoughts and take decisive action The connection between your thoughts, body, and environment—and how it shapes your mindset Why waiting to feel confident is a myth, and how to embrace the power of self-trust The two mindset tools that will help you conquer any challenge Why trying to be like others will stifle your voice and diminish your worth Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Instead of chasing a spotless image, we walk through how to turn those cracks into visible lines of strength—proof that you've been tested and upgraded.We dig into why scars are receipts, not defects, and how the people we admire earn our respect by showing the rebuild, not erasing it. Devin shares personal examples from launching Strive 11 and navigating a fitness dip that forced better time design. Together we unpack the cultural lie that “untouched” equals valuable, and replace it with a craftsperson's lens: honor the break, highlight the seam, and build a vessel that holds more. You'll get a simple four-step practice to apply today—name the break, extract the lesson, reinforce it with new behaviors, and stop hiding the seam—so resilience becomes a system, not a slogan.By the end, you'll have a challenge to make this mindset stick: write what happened, what it cost, and what gold you gained that you refuse to ignore. Share your seam with someone who needs strength right now. If this message reminded you that you're forged, not fragile, follow the show, leave a review, and send this to a friend who thinks they're disqualified. Your story isn't over—the gold gets added next.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's episode, our host, Allie Brooke, sits down with  amazing Brigette Panetta. Brigette has emerged as a powerful advocate for individuals facing social injustice and adversity. As the partner of James Mawhinney, founder of Media.com, Brigette has personally experienced the profound challenges of fighting against a government body. Over the past four years, she has witnessed the severe impact of Australia's corporate regulator, ASIC's, false allegations on her family's investment business, Mayfair 101. This ordeal has deeply affected Brigette, her young family, and the lives of nearly 600 Australians. Her journey began under extraordinary circumstances—two days after giving birth during the onset of the pandemic, Brigette found herself in the ICU, recovering from a traumatic birthing experience while simultaneously supporting James through 26 legal hearings. The struggle resulted in losing their family home and enduring significant personal and professional setbacks. Despite these hardships, Brigette's resilience has driven her to speak out and assist others in similar predicaments. Brigette is committed to creating a foundation to provide litigation funding and support for individuals battling injustices. She aims to offer a platform for people to share their stories and find solidarity in their experiences. In addition to her advocacy work, Brigette is passionate about holistic healing modalities. She has explored and benefited from practices such as breath work, meditation, kinesiology, and Reiki to overcome trauma and stress. Through her journey, she has discovered the power of internal healing and now wishes to educate others on these methods.Episode TopicsHow did you specifically cultivate mental resilience during such an intense social justice pursuit, when the stakes were so high?Can you share an experience where a mental barrier (like self-doubt, fear, or hopelessness) felt particularly overwhelming, and what immediate, in-the-moment strategies you used to overcome it?How did your experiences with adversity fundamentally shift your perspective on personal strength and the human capacity for endurance?You've leveraged meditation, Reiki, and other holistic healing modalities to transcend adversity. For listeners who might be new to these practices, where would you recommend they start to begin building their inner strength?Can you describe how integrating mind, body, and spirit through these practices creates a different kind of resilience compared to purely mental fortitude?Was there a specific holistic practice that felt most impactful for you during your most challenging times, and what made it so powerful?How do you continue to weave these holistic practices into your daily life now, beyond times of crisis, to maintain your well-being?How To Connect w| BrigetteWebsiteLinkedIn  The Growth METHOD.

Today, I interview John Kippen who spent years hiding after a surgery left half of his face paralyzed. His story is one of deep courage, transformation, and learning what it really means to be seen.As a child, John grew up in a successful family and learned how to perform, achieve, and seek approval. But beneath that confidence was a longing to be understood for who he truly was. When a brain tumor led to facial paralysis, everything he knew about identity and worth was shaken.What followed was a long season of silence and isolation that eventually became a doorway to rediscovery. Through his love for magic and storytelling, John began to connect with others again. The stage became a space where he stopped hiding, shared his truth, and turned what once felt like a limitation into a powerful message of authenticity.Today, John uses his voice to help others find theirs. As a speaker and empowerment coach, he reminds us that real confidence isn't about appearance or perfection. It begins with self-acceptance, compassion, and the courage to show up exactly as we are.__________________John Kippen is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach, and published author.In 2002, he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor that, while successfully removed, left him with permanent facial paralysis. The experience stopped his forward momentum and led him into hiding for more than twelve years.During that time, John rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. What began as a way to cope slowly became his source of healing. With renewed passion and hope, he came to see that his facial difference was not a limitation but his greatest superpower.Today, John lives with joy and purpose, helping others rise above self-doubt and fear. As a resilience and empowerment coach, he teaches people to get out of their own way and step into a life of confidence and connection.His guiding mottos are simple yet profound: Being different is your superpower and Feed your heart with your art.__________________Find John here:https://www.johnkippen.com/https://www.facebook.com/kippen/?_rdrhttps://www.instagram.com/johnkippen/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkippenspeaker/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
