Send us Fan MailNobody teaches you what to say when someone cuts you down and smiles while doing it. In this episode, we unpack the psychology behind rude people, sarcasm, and microaggressions, why a dysregulated nervous system sits underneath almost all of it, and the four step formula you can actually reach for in the moment.Emilia breaks down where your real training in this area came from: the family, culture, school, and social systems that quietly taught you what is acceptable to say and what you are allowed to say back. Bianca shares why believing everyone is inherently good can leave you defenseless, and opens up about a recent moment where she did not feel safe enough to use the very skills she teaches her own clients. Together they walk through pause, ask, share and set, and returning to your power, plus the identity beliefs that stop most people from ever using the tools at all. Fair warning, this one is explicit.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #426 | You Don't Need to Be the Boss to Change the Culture - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000721917576Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailThe hardest truth in a relationship is usually the one nobody is willing to say out loud. In this episode, we unpack the taboo reality of growth orientation in intimate partnerships, why a partner who will not grow alongside you eventually becomes the ceiling on your own life, and why denial, delusion, and distancing are the three ways most people avoid seeing it.We get into the narrative that says you are never supposed to judge your partner, and why that belief is quietly costing people decades. Judgment is not the problem. Unfair, harsh, and maladaptive judgment is. From there we look at what a partnership is actually for, whether it exists to reinforce who you already are or to challenge the growth edges of who you are becoming, and then break down the three specific areas where a non growth oriented partner holds you back: emotionally, socially, and psychologically.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #483 | How to Hold Two Truths at the Same Time - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000752414280Learn more about:

The North Carolina State Wolfpack face ACC runner-up Virginia in a Week 0 matchup that catches everyone's eye. Is this is the beginning of a great year for NC State? Quarterback CJ Bailey must lead the way, and the defense must stop the run. Then, it's about the Wolfpack's season goals. Can Dave Doeren's squad finally seize double-digit wins with new weapons like JoJo Trader and Duke Scott in tow? NC State's retooled attack, with explosive speed from its Miami imports and the bruising presence of Popo Aguirre, aims to dominate, while key ACC rivals like Louisville and Virginia pose the first true tests. Brian Smith, Grayson Boone, and Kenton Gibbs assess the Wolfpack's path, highlighting concerns around defensive pass rush and potential trap games against Wake Forest and Syracuse. Insightful stats, depth chart analysis, and the “law of the wolf” curse take center stage as the hosts debate whether this NC State team can buck history and stake its claim as an ACC contender.

Send us Fan MailChasing happiness is the fastest way to miss your life. In this episode, we unpack why so many of us keep entering new jobs, new relationships, and new purchases expecting them to finally fix us, and why that pattern quietly repeats for years without ever getting named. Bianca opens with a client conversation that required real candor, and Emilia takes it back to first principles: what happiness actually is by definition, why we have been sold the idea that it is the best thing to feel, and what it costs us to treat a passing emotion as a permanent state.We get into the if-then narratives running underneath our decisions, the arrival fallacy, and the law of trade-offs. Emilia shares openly about a recent six-figure purchase and the values-based decision making behind it, and Bianca names the baseline sadness she has stopped apologizing for and started building her work on. The takeaway is not that you will never be happy. It is that grit, distress tolerance, and fulfillment are what actually build a life worth living, and happiness shows up as a byproduct along the way.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #428 | How to Create a Joy-Filled Life by Design, Not by Default - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000722917711Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailYour list was never really about them. It was always about you.In this episode, we unpack what dating standards actually reveal: the height requirement, the income bracket, the follower count, and the quiet belief underneath all of it that being chosen by the "right" person will finally make you feel worthy. We get into where these narratives come from, why low self worth gets externalized into requirements other people have to meet, the difference between a value and an insecurity wearing a value's clothing, and why so many people keep landing in the same relationship or no relationship at all. If you have ever pushed away someone good because they were available, this one is for you.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #494 | How To Set Goals In Therapy - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000760417836Learn more about:

If you're like most people, nobody ever taught you how to money. And if you're a store owner, it's even  worse — no 401k, no automatic deductions, no HR department setting things up for you. So you keep telling yourself you'll deal with it "once the business is making more."  Sound familiar? I talked this week with Chloe Daniels, who's a Money Coach. Chloe teaches people like us how to invest for a secure financial future. Listen in and  learn: Why self-employed people have MORE retirement options — not fewer How to treat investing like a bill, not a leftover The numbers to run so that you can make decisions on facts, not feelings   Because here's the truth: it's hard to be the business leader you want to be if your personal finances are a mess.

Send us Fan MailYou are not thinking nearly as much as you think you are. In this episode, we unpack how inaccurate thinking quietly sabotages love, success, and money, and why so many of our "decisions" are really impulses absorbed from the people around us. Emilia and Bianca get into metacognition, cognitive appraisal, and the uncomfortable reality that most of us are running on autopilot while telling ourselves a story about how deliberate we are.Bianca shares a client story that shows how an unexamined childhood pattern was still dictating his sleep two decades later, and Emilia walks through her denial framework, FREE for the four types of denial and HEAL for the antidote, because whatever you are denying you actively cannot improve. The conversation lands on humility as the greatest antidote to ignorance, and on the willingness to say "I don't know" as the entry point to better thinking.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #480 | Everything You Need For Real Self Belief, Part Two - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000750453998Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailTravel does not create the mess. It exposes what was never built.In this episode, we unpack why leaving home your base wrecks sleep, goals, and self-trust for so many people, and what to do about it long before you pack a bag. Emilia breaks down a client who feared a bachelorette party would drag her back into old world, the grief of outgrowing a circle that does not share your values, and the We Travel checklists that turn every bad trip into a lesson instead of a loss. Bianca adds why the ability to advocate for yourself at 11 PM in a hotel lobby is built well before the trip starts, and why travel being your only reprieve deserves a much bigger conversation.

Send us Fan MailWaiting for an apology is its own kind of prison, and they hold the key on purpose.In this episode, we unpack what is actually happening inside you when you cling to an apology that may never come. Bianca opens with a client who cannot let himself heal because getting better feels like letting the people who harmed him off the hook. We get into the bulldozer and the house, why an apology can never rebuild what was demolished, and the difference between reconciliation and repair. Emilia breaks down the unconscious expectations we carry into rupture, why naming the impact feels like admitting the harm was okay, and how the nervous system is really reaching for safety, not words. We land on the hard truth: an apology is a nice to have, not a need to have, and your pain was already real without their acknowledgment.The how to apologize guide mentioned in this episode, from Emilia and Alan on The Conscious Couples podcast:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVsyimNpa2-XBOlWBY52mzp3VsD0ZQLP/view?usp=sharingHere's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#521 | How to Trust Yourself and Eliminate Self-Doubt - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000776557116Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailStrength is not a personality trait, it is a practice, and children learn it by watching.In this episode, we unpack why the mother role is one of the most vital and least supported roles there is. Emilia and Bianca make the case that you cannot be an empowered mother without first being an empowered woman, and that most women are attempting exactly that inside a culture that quietly resists it. They get into leading by example in the gym, in community, and in the language you use about your own child, and why a mother's presence shapes emotional safety, brain development, and a sense of self long before a child has words for any of it.They also name the cost of getting it wrong: the Ferber method and the cry it out generation, the gap between good enough parenting and exceptional parenting, and the ownership mindset that surfaces when a parent believes they get to decide who their child is. Two client stories anchor the conversation, one single mother who describes motherhood as continuously getting to learn who her daughter is, and one woman who could not reach her own emotions until she had to co-regulate her toddler through a terrifying afternoon. This is not mother bashing. It is a call for women to be supported, for men to back them, and for the cycles to stop here.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #527 | How Important the Father Role REALLY Is - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000779642049Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailNobody hands boys a blueprint for fatherhood. In this episode, we unpack why the father role is one of the most under examined forces in psychology, and how it quietly sets a child's self-worth, nervous system and sense of what is safe to allow into their life. We look at the patriarchal scripts fathers inherited and passed down, the myth that dad exists to balance out mom's emotion, and why so many men arrive in their thirties having never once pictured themselves as a parent.This is not a man bashing session. It is a call to the dads, the future dads, the uncles and the men who never had a father figure of their own. We break down the words that actually define the role: encouragement, play, leadership, attunement, reliability and safety. We share stories from the therapy room about direct and indirect harm, the gymnastics dad who got it right, and one gamified daily practice that costs nothing and changes the trajectory of a family.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #459 | What Your Family System Role Says About You - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000740185898Bianca mentions this episode early in the conversation:#507 | Breaking Down Patriarchy, Matriarchy, And Our Role Within It - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000769445396Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailYou can show up every single day for ten years and still be lying to yourself about being disciplined. In this episode, we unpack the story most of us have quietly built into our identity: that consistency in one arena means we have the muscle everywhere. Emilia walks through a conversation with a business owner who had opened his doors seven days a week for a decade and could not get himself to the gym once in three months, and what happened when the difference between self-discipline and survival got named out loud.Bianca recorded this one after calling out sick, which turned into the clearest example we could have asked for. We get into non-negotiables and why you have to choose your arenas before you can expand them, the ping-pong between "I am not disciplined at all" and "I am completely disciplined," the shift from being held accountable by the people around you to doing it when nobody would ever know, and the neuroscience underneath it all. Plus the reframe that changes the whole thing: discipline is not suffering, it is being the butler to your future self. Start where you are.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #458 | How To Connect To Your True Self - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000739645300Learn more about:

Helpful meeting and getting great advice with Elder Holland early in their marriage Eventually couldn't keep being gay on the “back burner”—needed to come out more openly Taking away the shame—living with confidence How he moved from seeing being gay as a “sacrifice” to moving toward “consecration” and using being himself as a gay member to build Zion His powerful Wayfare Article called “Light in a Watery Darkness, Finding a Way with Consecrated Identity” (see show notes).

Welcome to Day 2914 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2914– “Joyful Return, Insightful Response”  based on Luke 10:17-24 Putnam Church Message – 07/19/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Joyful Return, Insightful Response.”   Last time our message was “Practical Talk to Those in Ministry,” where we learned to leave the harvest in the hands of the Lord who is the Lord of the harvest. Today, we continue with our thirtieth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Joyful Return, Insightful Response.” Our core passage today is Luke 10:17-24, on page 1612 of your pew Bibles. The Seventy-Two Return 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with joy and humility. Thank You for calling ordinary people into Your Kingdom work. Thank You that the name of Jesus is greater than every power of darkness, every accusation of the enemy, and every fear that troubles our hearts. Lord Jesus, help us rejoice in the right things. Teach us to celebrate Your victories without becoming proud of our usefulness. Remind us that our greatest joy is not what we accomplish for You, but that we belong to You. Open our eyes to see what prophets and kings longed to see. Give us childlike hearts that receive Your truth with faith and obedience. Holy Spirit, guide us now as we listen to Your Word. Amen. Introduction: A Story - Returning From the Battle In the early nineties, a few years after Desert Storm, General Norman Schwarzkopf wrote an autobiography titled It Doesn't Take a Hero. Near the middle of the book, he describes his thoughts as he headed for his first combat command position in Vietnam. He was a West Point graduate, full of energy and idealism. He went to Vietnam, as he said, for “God, country, and Mom's apple pie.” But later, after a second tour of duty, he returned from a battle-scarred landscape where young men under his command had died or had lost parts of their bodies to landmines. He came home to a divided nation, and he wrote with exhausted realism, “I realized then I was really tired of being a commander… I thought, Thank God it's over. I'd saved as many lives as I could… I wanted to get home to my family.” Same geography. Same war. Same mission. But what a difference between the man who went out and the man who returned. In Luke 10, the seventy-two whom Jesus sent out also return from the battlefield. But the seventy-two return with joy. In our last message, “Practical Talk to Those in Ministry,” we watched Jesus send them out two by two. He told them the harvest was great and the workers were few. He sent them like lambs among wolves. He told them to travel light, offer peace, heal the sick, and announce that the Kingdom of God had come near. They went out as messengers of the King. / Now they return. And they come back like children running through the door after seeing something amazing. “Lord,” they say, “even the demons obey us when we use Your name!” They had gone out to announce peace, but they discovered that the name of Jesus also carried authority over the powers of darkness. Jesus rejoices with them. But He also corrects their perspective. He lifts their eyes above the thrill of ministry success and says, in effect, “Yes, rejoice that evil is retreating. But do not build your joy on power. Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” That is our theme today: The greatest joy of a disciple is not what we do for Jesus, but that we belong to Jesus. Which brings us to our four truths today which are found in your bulletin insert on the side that is titled: Joyful Return, Insightful Response Main Point 1: Kingdom Ministry Pushes Back the Powers of Darkness The seventy-two return with joy and say, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use Your name.” That little word “even” carries their surprise. Jesus had told them to heal the sick and announce the Kingdom. But apparently, as they ministered in His name, demons also submitted. They saw firsthand that the mission of Jesus was not merely moral improvement, social kindness, or religious instruction. It was war against the dominion of evil. Luke has been showing us this from the beginning. Jesus confronted demons in the synagogue. He delivered the man in the region of the Gerasenes. He gave the Twelve authority over demons. He healed the boy whom His disciples could not help. And now the seventy-two discover that the authority of Jesus extends through them as well. This is where we need to understand the Bible's bigger supernatural worldview. The late Dr. Michael S. Heiser often reminded readers that the Bible presents a spiritual world populated by heavenly beings. In the Old Testament, we see scenes of God's heavenly council, sometimes called the Divine Council. God is the Most High, the Creator, the supreme King. But Scripture also shows lesser spiritual beings who serve, rebel, accuse, deceive, or oppose God's purposes. In Job 1 and 2, we meet “The Satan,” or “the adversary,” appearing among the heavenly beings. In that setting, the word functions like a title — the accuser, the challenger, the prosecutor. By the time we reach the New Testament, Satan is clearly presented as the great enemy of God's people, the tempter, the accuser, the ruler of a rebellious kingdom of darkness. So, when Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning,” He is not giving the disciples a small compliment. He is interpreting their ministry as part of a cosmic victory. Every sick person healed, every demon rebuked, every message of Kingdom peace proclaimed — all of it was evidence that the usurper's rule was cracking. The adversary was falling. Object Lesson: The Flashlight in a Dark Room Imagine turning off the lights in a room and then switching on a flashlight. The darkness does not negotiate. / It does not hold a committee meeting. / It simply retreats where the light shines. That is what happens when the Kingdom of God advances. When Jesus walks into a synagogue, demons cry out. When Jesus steps into Gentile territory, a legion of demons loses its captive. When Jesus sends out His followers, evil spirits submit to His name. Not because the disciples are impressive, but because the King is present through them. Ancient Israelite Context For a first-century Jewish listener, this would not sound like a mere private spiritual experience. It would sound like the long-awaited victory of God. Genesis 3:15 promised that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. Psalm 91 spoke of trampling lions and serpents underfoot. Daniel 7 envisioned the Son of Man receiving authority, glory, and sovereign power. The prophets looked forward to the day when God would defeat evil and restore creation. Now Jesus says, “You are seeing the beginning of that victory.” The Kingdom has come near. Modern Illustration We may not always see dramatic confrontations with evil spirits, but we still see the Kingdom push back darkness. When an addict finds freedom in Christ, darkness...

In this episode, we unpack the real cost of day trading, why so many smart, driven people get pulled into the vortex, what the numbers actually say about who wins and who pays, and how the gambler's fallacy and sunk cost bias contort the brain into doubling down on losses again and again.But this conversation goes far beyond the market. Day trading is just one mask among many: gambling, book buying, doom scrolling, antiquing, Netflix binges. Underneath them all is the same root, a lack of purpose, unspoken shame, and a life spent numbing instead of facing.

On this episode of The Aluna Experience Podcast, I talk to Katie Mae, who shares how fleeing from California wildfires and Florida hurricanes—events that could be be perceived as tragedy—were actually Divine guidance that led her to exactly where she was supposed to be.She shares how music, specifically dancing at Grateful Dead concerts, marked the beginning of her spiritual connection through music and dance, and how chronic medical issues and reaching a dead end in the medical system led her to a homeopathic healer who opened the doorway to the Bhagavad Gita, yoga, meditation, and a deepened spiritual practice.Through her journeys with Ayahuasca, Katie Mae came to embody a deeper understanding of her Jewish heritage and organized religion as a whole, finding compassion and empathy for all beings—especially herself. She recognized the illusion of separation, her unbreakable connection to Mother Earth, and a deeply felt truth of belonging within herself regardless of where she was physically in the world.@aluna_healing_centerwww.alunahealingcenter.com@bri.anahatawww.brianahata.com

In this episode, we unpack why fitness feels so intimidating for so many people and why it's one of the most powerful tools for mental health that exists. From Bianca's fitness journey that began in self-hatred, crash diets, and toxic yo-yo cycles before becoming one of the things she's most proud of, to Emilia learning to work with her body instead of against it, this conversation gets honest about the destructive narratives, taboo body relationships, and quiet fears that keep people from ever starting.We also dig into a wake-up call moment at the gym that sparked a deeper conversation about what our bodies reveal about our minds, the vicious cycle of eroding self-trust through maladaptive coping, and why "scary" evolves at every stage of life, from entry-point fear to injury fear to losing muscle mass in your 50s and 60s. Whether your version of fitness is strength training, yoga, hiking, or silent disco, you hold the pen of what fitness means for you, and your mental health will thank you for writing that story.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #474 | Why Poor Decisions Get All the Hype - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000747149581Learn more about:
