Synopsis- HUD in crisis- The Department of Housing and Urban Development has seen its staff slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, with civil rights cases being abandoned and political appointees allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: About 750,000 people are on unpaid leave as the U.S. government shutdown continues — but some of the most caring parts of the government's work have been shut down for months. Take the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for example. This is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but in a shocking complaint letter submitted to Senator Elizabeth Warren on September 22, 2025, civil rights attorneys Palmer Heenan, Paul Osadebe and two other whistleblowers describe an agency in crisis. Staff has been slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. Every layoff and budget cut by the Trump administration, both within HUD and across federal agencies, is part of a larger plan to create chaos, end civil rights protections, legalize segregation and exert unitary executive power. Heenan and Osadebe, members of the Federal Unionists Network (FUN), are calling on federal employees to uphold their oath to constitution and protect Americans. And they've paid the price: *both Heenan and Osadebe were fired by HUD in what has been called a "stunning act of illegal retaliation.” In this conversation, the two share their story, what it means for civil rights and how unions can fight for government accountability.“No one is asking for a leg up or an extra hand or whatever the case might be. We're just asking to get rid of discrimination. And so I hope the future will tell the story of people doing just that, coming together, going to Congress and saying, ‘These are our rights. You passed them into law decades ago. Fight for the rights that we have now.'” - Palmer Heenan“The thing that will actually get us through this is solidarity, recognizing what potential power we have as federal workers . . . [The administration wants] to create fear, which leads to silence, which lets things be dismantled without anyone standing up and fighting and saying, ‘This is illegal, this is wrong and this is harming people.' It's up to federal workers, the ones in the building, to actually do that.” - Paul OsadebeGuests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Housing discrimination is illegal in the U.S., but every year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives thousands of complaints from individuals who believe they are not being treated fairly because of their race, religion, disability and other protected classes. HUD is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but a shocking new whistleblower complaint letter released on Monday, September 29, 2025 says the agency is in crisis. Staff was slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, some civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. These are just some of the claims in the formal complaint letter, which has now been filed through U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's office and taken to the press. In this conversation, Laura Flanders speaks to two of the four whistleblowers, HUD civil rights fair housing attorneys, to find out what this story means for civil rights and why they're speaking out now. As fair housing hangs in the balance, Palmer Heenan and Paul Osadebe are organizing union members to uphold their oath to defend the constitution and protect Americans.Guests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life From the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin explores what it really means to emotionally thrive in 2025 and beyond. With political, economic, and social chaos all around us, Jim reveals why fear dominates our lives—and how to rise above it through higher awareness and practical mental tools. Instead of being swept up in global anxiety or stuck in polarities of denial and panic, Jim offers both spiritual wisdom and grounded, 3D strategies for managing your mind. From understanding the reptilian brain to practicing attention control, he shows how you can maintain peace of mind even when the world feels unstable. If you've been feeling the weight of uncertainty, this episode will help you step into resilience, align with your higher self, and discover how to truly thrive no matter what happens externally. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why fear drives today's chaos (02:53) How the reptilian brain hijacks clear thinking and keeps us stuck in survival mode. Thriving through emotional balance (05:47) Why managing your thoughts and emotions is the foundation of resilience in uncertain times. Becoming immune to chaos (09:05) Don Javier's wisdom on energetic immunity and why inner frequency matters more than physical location. Attention as the new currency (12:02) How media manipulates fear for profit—and how to reclaim control over where you focus. Shamanic drumming as a tool (14:51) The ancient practice that calms the mind, raises vibration, and creates inner peace. The danger of attachment (21:05) Why clinging to religion, nationality, or ideology fuels division, and how letting go creates freedom. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are here, in this exact moment of humanity's chaos, for a reason. You agreed to incarnate now not to shrink in fear, but to expand in light. Thriving in 2025 and beyond requires emotional mastery—choosing awareness over attachment, peace over panic, and higher consciousness over fear. When you transcend fear, you step into your true purpose as a light worker, ready to grow, evolve, and contribute to the whole.

What separates truly exceptional leaders from the rest? According to Kurt Strovink, it's not just strategy, execution, or decision-making—it's the ability to lead from within. As a senior partner at McKinsey & Company and a global advisor to CEOs, Kurt has spent decades studying the patterns of the most successful executives. In his latest book, The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out, he reveals what the best leaders do differently and why self-awareness is at the core of transformative leadership.In this insightful conversation, Kurt unpacks the critical contradictions every CEO must navigate—balancing short-term and long-term priorities, managing gut instincts with data-driven analysis, and fostering trust while making tough calls. He also explores the human-centric aspects of leadership, showing why the most effective CEOs focus not just on financial performance but on culture, dissent, and psychological safety to drive long-term success.Mahan Tavakoli and Kurt also discuss practical frameworks for leadership development, including how CEOs can create cultures that encourage truth-telling, manage their energy instead of just their time, and make bold decisions that define their legacies. Drawing on insights from 500+ CEO forums and top leaders worldwide, Kurt shares the strategies that help executives avoid common pitfalls and unlock their full leadership potential.Actionable Takeaways from This EpisodeYou'll learn why leading others starts with leading yourself—and how the best CEOs develop self-awareness as a core leadership skill.Hear how top leaders institutionalize truth-telling and dissent within their organizations to avoid blind spots and drive better decision-making.Find out why managing energy is just as important as managing time—and how CEOs structure their schedules for peak performance.Discover how to make bold, differentiating moves early in your leadership tenure to set the tone for lasting impact.Learn why the most effective CEOs challenge their own organizations like an activist investor, forcing teams to rethink assumptions and drive transformation.Explore the power of leadership storytelling—how CEOs use analogies and language to shape culture and inspire action.Uncover strategies for navigating the inevitable contradictions of leadership—short-term vs. long-term, data vs. intuition, and control vs. delegation.Hear how great CEOs build leadership factories, ensuring a pipeline of strong leaders while avoiding the distractions of succession politics.Understand why the best leaders don't just execute strategy—they create the conditions for others to thrive and innovate.Find out when it's time to step away and transition leadership—and how great CEOs prepare for what's next.Connect with Kurt StrovinkKurt Strovink LinkedIn Kurt Strovink McKinsey & Company The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Learn to Lead from the Inside Out Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Vista Rise Collective Joins Tahoe TAP to Discuss Rebrand, Advocacy & Community Impact The Tahoe TAP podcast — hosted by longtime locals and media personalities Mike Peron and Rob Galloway — returns with an intriguing new episode featuring Briana Vallejo of Vista Rise Collective, formerly known as Live Violence Free. After kicking off the show with a quick rundown of the latest Lake Tahoe happenings, the hosts welcomed Vallejo to talk about the organization's recent rebrand and ongoing mission to provide support, resources, and prevention programs for survivors of domestic and relational violence. Vallejo's connection to the work runs deep. She first joined the organization in 2016 as an Alpine Advocate while finishing her Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Nevada, Reno — all while holding the title of Miss Lake Tahoe in the Miss America Organization. Just months earlier, she was named 1st Runner-Up to Miss Nevada 2016. After nearly eight years serving the Alpine County satellite office, Vallejo transitioned to the South Lake Tahoe headquarters as Community Relations Coordinator. Today, she is a driving force behind Vista Rise Collective's outreach, education, and partnerships across the region. A survivor herself, Vallejo has used her story to spark change nationwide. Her TEDx Talk, “Preventing Teen Dating Violence from the Inside Out,” propelled her onto stages across the country as a sought-after keynote speaker. Outside of her advocacy work, she resides in Bear Valley with her husband — a local Fire Captain — and their two children, ages 4 and nearly 2. Listeners can tune in to hear more about Vista Rise Collective's expanded vision, upcoming community events, and how locals can get involved in supporting their mission.
Charming and accessible, "Outside In and the Inside Out" by Emmy Kastner is the biographical picture book about Arnold Lobel, a Schenectady native, the Newberry and Caldecott award-winning author-illustrator behind the beloved Frog and Toad series. Arnold Lobel was many things: a quiet observer, an avid reader, and the kind of man who kept a gorilla suit in his closet, just in case. Above all else, Arnold was an artist and a storyteller. And he infused pieces of himself in the characters he created.Emmy Kastner is an author and illustrator of several books for children, including While You're Asleep and the Nerdy Babies board book series. She will be at the Main Schenectady County Public Library at 6PM tonight.
One of the most common questions I get from betrayed partners: "Todd, do I need to separate from my partner to get clarity? Do I need to separate to have self-dignity?" And I completely understand why people ask this.When you discover infidelity, your nervous system goes into shock. You can't think straight. You're so agitated by your partner's presence that all you want to do is cry or hit or scream. And here's what I know for sure: you cannot go back to business as usual like nothing happened. That would be betraying yourself.In this episode, I talk about the different types of separation that can help you heal - physical, emotional, and sexual - and why most couples I work with don't physically separate but still need space in some form.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why going back to "business as usual" is actually betraying yourself • How infidelity shocks your nervous system and why you need to calm down first • The difference between physical, emotional, and sexual separation • Why most couples don't physically separate but still heal successfully • How to set clear rules if you do decide to separate temporarily • The hyper-attachment and hypersexual response that some people have after betrayal • Why you might need to stop having sex while you heal • How to be your own person instead of acting out of fear of losing them • What healthy separation looks like versus just avoiding your feelingsI share stories from my practice about people who needed different types of space - some went to stay with supportive family, others created emotional boundaries while staying in the same house. The goal is always self-regulation so you can get clarity about what's right for you.And here's something important: if your partner can't handle you taking space to heal - if they threaten to go back to the affair partner because you're not making things nice for them - bye-bye to that person. A truly remorseful partner will support your need to regulate your nervous system.My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

Angela and Kate Muir look at the profound impact of perimenopause on women's mental health, particularly for those with a history of conditions like postpartum depression, who may be more sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. Kate explains the neurological changes during menopause using the analogy of "Inside Out" characters, highlighting how the decline of key hormones like oestrogen (joyful) and progesterone (calming) and the resulting increase in cortisol can lead to symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and brain fog, severely affecting confidence and productivity KEY TAKEAWAYS: Hormonal Sensitivity: Women with a history of mental health issues like postpartum depression are often more sensitive to the hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause The Brain's Hormonal Shift: The decline of oestrogen (linked to serotonin) and progesterone (calming) during menopause leaves hormone receptors empty, leading to increased cortisol Under-Recognised Benefits of Testosterone: Beyond libido, testosterone is crucial for women's mental health, aiding in motivation, drive, and cognitive function Holistic Support for Brain Health: Optimising nutrition (high protein), sleep hygiene (using micro-recoveries and supplements like L-theanine and phosphatidylserine), and specific exercises (compound lifts to increase BDNF) can significantly support brain health TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [0:22] -: Link Between Postpartum Depression and Perimenopause [1:27] -: "Inside Out" Analogy for Hormonal Decline [2:45] -: Mental Health Symptoms and Physical Effects [7:47] -: Testosterone's Role Beyond Libido VALUABLE RESOURCES Join The High Performance Health Community Click here for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Synopsis: As concerns about rolled-back protections grow louder, whistleblowers at HUD have risked it all by going public with allegations that paint a stark picture of systematic regression on equality under the law.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Housing discrimination is illegal in the U.S., but every year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives thousands of complaints from individuals who believe they are not being treated fairly because of their race, religion, disability and other protected classes. HUD is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but a shocking new whistleblower complaint letter released on Monday, September 29, 2025 says the agency is in crisis. Staff was slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, some civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. These are just some of the claims in the formal complaint letter, which has now been filed through U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's office and taken to the press. In this conversation, Laura Flanders speaks to two of the four whistleblowers, HUD civil rights fair housing attorneys, to find out what this story means for civil rights and why they're speaking out now. As fair housing hangs in the balance, Palmer Heenan and Paul Osadebe are organizing union members to uphold their oath to defend the constitution and protect Americans.Guests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Subscribe to Laura Flanders & Friends on YouTube and podcast platforms to receive bonus interviews like these and our full, uncut conversations.

NICKEL BOYS is one of a kind. That's not to say the narrative is brand-new. Two Black teens struggling to keep their sanity while stuck in an abusive institution brings to mind ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, THE GREAT ESCAPE, the millennial cinematic classic HOLES.But where NICKEL BOYS differs, as the great Roger Ebert wrote, is in HOW it's about what it's about. The camera is an extension of the main characters, their first-person perspective. But unlike other films that've adopted this approach, NICKEL BOYS invests its energy into the authenticity of this perspective.Think about yourself reading this. You might glance down, turn your head to see a phone notification. You might reread the last paragraph and conjure a mental image of Jack Nicholson or Nurse Ratched. Is that thought confined by a tiny editor in your head, INSIDE OUT-style, reacting with the timing of someone who wants the smoothest cut? No. It's instant. How can the experience of being human and all its minutia be translated to a cinematic language? That's where NICKEL BOYS shines.Ross, along with cinematographer Jomo Fray, move their cameras patiently, deliberately in a manner that attempts to pull this off, described in interviews as a "sentient experience." As such, the result is immersive, at times feeling like I or you or she or he have possessed Elwood (Ethan Herisse) or Turner (Brandon Wilson) as they navigates their Black body through 1960s Florida.By doing so, Ross reminds us that while we may not be Black, the story of Nickel Academy and its culture of murdering children, contrasted with the promise of new civil rights and space exploration, is not merely a subgenre of history. It's our collective memory. It's our duty and responsibility to accept, from which to learn and rebuke.---Please follow, rate and review The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram, Bluesky and Letterboxd

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin challenges one of the most widely accepted self-help mantras: that belief is the foundation for manifestation. Drawing from ancient wisdom, his own personal breakthroughs, and universal energy principles, Jim explains why belief isn't the source of your power—it's intention. He shares the key reasons why trying to "believe harder" can block your desires and how real manifestation begins with something deeper: clarity, surrender, and trust. For anyone who's exhausted by vision boards, affirmations, and the endless effort of “trying to believe,” this episode offers a radical and liberating truth: you are not the manifestor—the universe is. Jim breaks down how to stop interfering with your desires and start co-creating with universal energy by doing less and trusting more. If you've been asking, “Why isn't this working for me?”, this episode will flip your perspective and give you the clarity you need to finally allow your manifestations to unfold—without all the struggle. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why Belief Is Overrated in Manifestation (00:30) Jim dismantles the "you must believe" myth and explains why belief is a product—not a requirement—of manifestation. The Simple 3-Step Manifestation Formula (09:45) Set the intention. Release it. Let the universe do its job. That's it. How Trying Too Hard Blocks You (13:30) Jim reveals how effort, force, and "working on it" create resistance—and how ease accelerates manifestation. You're Not the Manifestor—You're the Medium (17:50) Learn how manifestation really works: you project, the universe manifests. Why Attachment Destroys Creation (26:30) Jim shares how digging up the seed of intention every day keeps it from growing—and what to do instead. The FedEx Analogy That Changes Everything (33:00) Trust that the universe will deliver, just like you trust a package will arrive after you send it. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway You are not here to manifest through effort—you're here to manifest through clarity and trust. Your only job is to set a crystal-clear intention and know that it's already done. Let the universe take care of the rest. Just like you don't worry after dropping off a FedEx package, you must trust your desires are already on the way. The more you force, the more you delay. So stop trying, start trusting, and remember: manifestation is the universe's job—not yours. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?

What if most of what we call “reality” is just subconscious programming… waiting to be rewritten? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Bruce Lipton — cellular biologist and author of The Biology of Belief — to explore how fear, stress, and early childhood conditioning shape our health, behavior, and destiny. Dr. Lipton breaks down how 95% of our life is run by subconscious beliefs — and how to rewire them. We explore the biology of fear, the illusion of victimhood, and why your consciousness, not your genes, determines your life path. He also shares why the chaos we're seeing in the world isn't the end — but the collapse of an unsustainable system, inviting us into a more awakened evolution. You'll learn simple tools, such as self-hypnosis and repetition, to shift old patterns and reclaim your power—so you can create from love, not fear.
Send us a textAnxiety whispers truths the body longs to tell. In this episode, we open up about how anxiety shows up in the body, why it's really a signal of unmet needs, and how reframing it can shift your entire perspective. Together, we share our own experiences with high-functioning anxiety, the lessons we've seen in movies like Inside Out, and the tools we've used with clients worldwide to help turn anxious energy into growth. This isn't about avoiding anxiety. It's about understanding it, working with it, and reclaiming your power in the process.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#361 | What Happens When You Don't Trust Adults? - https://apple.co/3Io8Mas #408 | The Paradox of Self-Love - https://apple.co/4mqcVZ6Evolve Together Experiences:
This is our final week of the Inside Out series! Pastor Jeff will be sharing how God gives us the soft emotion of trust to overcome the hard emotion of fear. Jesus reminded us that without Him, we are all lost—like the sheep, the coin, or the son. But here's the good news: God never gives up on us! Isaiah 12:2 2 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense[a]; He has become my salvation.
After you discover infidelity, everything changes. The sacred boundary around your couple has been ruptured by secrets, and now you need to rebuild it from the ground up. But what does that actually look like day-to-day?In this episode, I walk you through the specific boundaries that are needed post-discovery so that healing can happen and your relationship can thrive again. And I need to be clear about something right up front: if you're the one who betrayed, you don't get to keep your "privacy rights" anymore. Not now. Maybe later when your partner's nervous system calms down, but right now? Total transparency is the price of rebuilding trust.In this episode, you'll hear:• What boundaries really are and why infidelity violates them so deeply • How secrets rupture the sacred boundary around your couple • Why the betrayer has to go way beyond normal to prove they're safe • The right way to end an affair relationship (hint: your partner needs to witness it) • When changing jobs is necessary for healing • Social media boundaries that actually work after betrayal • Why complete access to phones, computers, and bank accounts is non-negotiable • How to tell real threats from anxiety-driven fears • The difference between being controlled and helping someone feel safeI share a story about a teacher who gave up his job of 25 years at a school where he was highly respected because that's where his affair partner worked. His wife wasn't comfortable with him staying, and he understood. That's the price you sometimes pay to resacralize—make sacred again—the boundary you have with your partner.This isn't about being micromanaged or controlled. It's about helping the person who was betrayed feel safe again. That's what this is all about.My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin reveals a trait that rarely makes the “top 20 lists” of success skills but is, in reality, a game-changer: resourcefulness. Through powerful stories—from Tom Hanks' Castaway to entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Susie Batiz—Jim shows how resourcefulness, not resources, is what separates those who thrive from those who stay stuck. Many people wait for the “perfect time” or for more money, connections, or opportunities to arrive. Jim challenges that mindset by making it clear: your life doesn't change when you get more resources; it changes when you choose to become more resourceful. Fear, excuses, and victimhood hold us back, but resourcefulness makes growth inevitable. If you've ever felt like you don't have what it takes to move forward, this episode will give you the clarity and inspiration to figure it out, break free from resignation, and finally create what you want. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why Resourcefulness Matters More Than Resources (06:17) Jim defines resourcefulness and explains why it is the foundation of real success. Stories of Resourceful Entrepreneurs (08:00) How companies like Apple, Amazon, Subway, and Ring started with almost nothing but became billion-dollar brands. The Role of Fear and Victim Mentality (14:29) Why fear keeps you powerless and why shifting to resourcefulness transforms everything. Settling vs. Creating (18:00) How “agreeing” to your circumstances keeps you stuck—and how to stop settling. The Subconscious Mind as a Tool (21:00) How engaging your subconscious mind can unlock answers and creative solutions. Resourcefulness in Action (22:00) Jim's personal stories of becoming resourceful to create multimillion-dollar outcomes. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Resourcefulness is more important than resources. If you want more in life, you must figure it out, get creative, and choose action over excuses. If you refuse to become resourceful, you are in silent agreement with your current reality. The truth stings, but freedom comes when you own it—and then act.

What if your biggest block to peace was actually trying to protect you? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Gabby Bernstein for a heartfelt conversation on healing, self-trust, and what it really means to surrender. Together, we explore the hidden protectors within us — like perfectionism, control, and overachieving — and how they often block our access to deeper faith and freedom. Gabby shares her personal journey of trauma recovery, spiritual awakening, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her return to her true self. We talk about spiritual bypassing, the difference between doing the work and being in it, and why compassion — not pressure — is the path to lasting transformation. You'll leave with a simple 4-step practice to reconnect with your inner safety, soften your inner critic, and begin manifesting from a grounded sense of self.

This week we dive into a role-played lifestyle coaching session with Lauren Hayes, exploring the rollercoaster of emotions that come with navigating lifestyle choices. From emotional sovereignty to the challenges of lifestyle compromises, Lauren guides us through the complexities of managing feelings like joy, sadness, and jealousy. We discuss the power of “parts work,” drawing parallels to the movie Inside Out, to understand how our inner characters shape our experiences. Lauren's insights on using “I felt when” statements instead of “you made me feel” offer a fresh perspective on emotional communication, while her recommendation to revisit rules and boundaries before dating separately provides practical tools for smoother transitions. Though this session was a blend of real issues we've heard from others, the role-play format kept things light, don't worry, we're not actual role-players!

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin shares one of the biggest missed opportunities of his life—how not acting on advice to buy Bitcoin at ten cents a coin cost him $1.2 billion. Through this story, Jim explores the deeper lessons behind missed chances, fear, and procrastination, showing how hesitation keeps us stuck while action opens the door to growth. This conversation isn't about regret—it's about how fear, uncertainty, and waiting for the “perfect time” sabotage us more than bad decisions ever could. Jim explains why opportunities slip away, how to shift your perspective around risk, and why action—even imperfect action—is the only way forward. If you've ever looked back and thought, “I should have done that,” this episode will change how you see opportunities and give you the mindset shift you need to stop hesitating and start acting. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why Opportunities Slip Away (02:00) Jim explains how fear and uncertainty cause us to ignore the chances right in front of us. The Bitcoin Story That Cost $1.2 Billion (08:00) The now-famous moment when Jim was told to buy Bitcoin at ten cents—and why he didn't. Fear, Uncertainty, and Procrastination (15:00) Why waiting for the “right time” is the surest way to lose opportunity forever. How the Past Sabotages the Present (22:00) Your fears and limitations come from the past—and they keep you from acting now. The Only Time You Have Is Now (25:30) Why opportunities only exist in the present moment, never in the past or future. Action as Salvation (36:00) Jim's biggest transformational takeaway: growth only happens when you take action, no matter the outcome. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Action is your salvation. Every moment presents an opportunity, but waiting, fearing, or second-guessing only guarantees loss. When you choose to act—even if the outcome is uncertain—you grow, evolve, and move forward. Don't wait for tomorrow; it never comes. The time to act is always now.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns in your relationships? In this solo episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, inspired by my recent keynote in Amsterdam, I share personal stories and insights on how love and connection can transform when we heal from within. I discuss how letting go of old beliefs and embracing deeper self-love can change the way we relate to others. In this episode, I explore practical tools like insourcing love, where you learn to be the source of love within yourself. I also share how triggers in relationships are opportunities to heal, and why allowing yourself to fully feel your emotions is key to breaking free from past patterns. By the end of this episode, you'll have the tools to shift old habits, embrace your emotions, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Tune in to discover how transformation can start from within.
"I was quite protective of the parent reader while I was editing this. I feel that so many of the books out there on the shelf have a real kind of finger wagging quality to parents. They kind of tell parents what to do, what not to do, mostly what they're doing wrong. I felt like I wanted to create a resource that empathized with the parents' position, and that protected them, because this is literally the hardest thing in the world. So the protectiveness felt important to me, and it was one of the things that was really quite important that we always held the parent in mind, which is why every letter starts with ‘Dear Parent'.” Episode Description: We begin with acknowledging the 'profound ordinariness' of the parenting experiences that these thirty-nine psychoanalysts share with the reader. They openly reveal their vulnerabilities, childishness, ambivalences and sorrows. They also share their delights, pleasures and feelings of accomplishment. The letters that we read include those on parental protectionism, feelings of being excluded, rivalries and erotic feelings. All the contributors acknowledge the presence of their pasts in their parenting present. Andy speaks of her journey as a mother and how vital her finding psychoanalysis was for both her and her family. She concludes the book "I hope that you close this book with a deep sense of respect for yourself, a healthy curiosity and a few more questions than answers." Our Guest: Andy Cohen is a psychoanalyst with the South African Psychoanalytical Association (SAPA). Her TEDx Talk, "A Mom Can't Always Act Like a Grown-Up – Here's Why", explores the unconscious forces between mother and child. She holds an MA Fine Art and has worked as an Art Counsellor using psychodynamic art-based interventions in at-risk communities. She currently lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa.

What if the key to shaping your reality isn't about controlling the outside world, but about the state of being you choose in each moment? In this episode, I sit down with Darryl Anka, who for over 40 years has been channeling Bashar — a multidimensional being who shares teachings on how our beliefs, emotions, and choices create the reality we experience. We talk about Bashar's “five-step formula” for alignment, centered on following your excitement, trusting synchronicity, and letting go of fixed outcomes.
