In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Christine Reed—an American long-distance backpacker and award-winning author—whose life changed when she took her first steps on the Appalachian Trail in 2015. With no prior backpacking experience, Christine dove headfirst into the unknown, seeking healing, purpose, and a sense of identity. Since then, Christine has hiked thousands of miles, lived out of a van, and carved a creative path through storytelling. Her debut memoir, Alone in Wonderland, captured her raw and powerful journey of self-discovery, while her latest anthology Blood Sweat Tears amplifies the voices of women+ on trail—sharing unfiltered stories about periods, pain, perseverance, and everything in between. We talk about grief, growth, writing through discomfort, and the courage it takes to follow your passions even when they feel far outside your comfort zone. Christine's story reminds us that you don't have to be outdoorsy, athletic, or fearless to start—you just have to begin. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Ever felt like you're working hard but missing the point?In this episode, I break down the surprising difference between intention and attention, and why your entrepreneurial results depend on getting this right.Discover the faith-driven approach that keeps your actions aligned with your true calling and unlocks a deeper, more purposeful impact.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Intention vs. Attention: Your results aren't just about where you focus your energy, but about the intentions guiding your actions. I explain why setting your intention—to serve, to align with God's will—produces the fruit you're truly after, rather than just chasing outcomes.2. Aspirations Over Affirmations: Instead of just declaring what you want, learn to shape your desires as aspirations that seek alignment with God's purpose for your life. This mindset shift keeps your goals from drifting into selfish ambition and grounds your business journey in faith.3. Make Vision Practical: I share how writing your vision and attaching bold, God-aligned aspirations to it will clarify your path and keep you moving forward, even when you don't know every step. Be courageous, declare your aspirations out loud, and watch your intention shape your future.

Elevating Songwriters in Music City… In the heart of Music City, a groundbreaking network of nearly 400 songwriters, known as Livin' The Write Life, is redefining collaboration and success in the music industry. Founded by songwriter Michael "Cef" Cefaratti, this vibrant "tribe" is dedicated to empowering its members and disrupting the traditional music publishing model. A Network Built on Mutual Support and Strength in Numbers Livin' The Write Life operates on the core belief that "your net worth is your network." Songwriter Cody Kelley emphasizes this ethos, stating, "We show up for each other, to prove there's strength in numbers." This collaborative spirit is evident in their consistent support for each other's performances, from showcases and writer's nights to "in-the-rounds." The network leverages the diverse skills and backgrounds of its members to benefit everyone, whether it's bargaining for studio time or securing airplay. Addressing Industry Challenges and Fostering New Talent Cefaratti highlights a critical issue in today's music landscape: the domination of a few major publishing houses. "It's near impossible for an unsigned writer to get a listen – much less a cut, today," he explains, "meaning the industry, not the artist, decides what music you hear." Livin' The Write Life aims to counteract this by building a comprehensive in-house service complement for its members, including publishing, song pitching/placement, a record label, and career management for aspiring artists. The network is uniquely structured around the needs of working songwriters, many of whom balance regular jobs with their passion. This flexibility ensures that "everybody has a chance to be heard and to write with other songwriters in our tribe." They celebrate successes, offer support during challenges, and transform these experiences into relatable, authentic songs. Cultivating Tomorrow's Sound Livin' The Write Life is focused on shaping the future of music. Kelley points out that "the songs on the radio right now were written at least 2 years ago... That songwriting style may not be popular 2 years from now." The tribe encourages its writers to break free from formulas and rules, allowing songs to evolve naturally. This forward-thinking approach is leading to the creation of "genre-less" music that transcends traditional boundaries of country, pop, and rock, preparing for an anticipated shift in the industry. Adysen Malek, a new songwriter in Music City, quickly found her place within Livin' The Write Life. She credits the tribe with helping her improve her craft in a supportive, non-competitive environment, stating, "None of us improves or succeeds, we all benefit and celebrate."

ABOUT LIVIN' THE WRITE LIFE: Nashville's New Model for Songwriting & Publishing Livin' The Write Life is emerging as a groundbreaking force in Nashville's music scene, redefining the landscape for independent songwriters and performers. This innovative network, founded by songwriter and entrepreneur Michael "Cef" Cefaratti, comprises nearly 400 affiliated individuals who collectively form a powerful "tribe." Empowering Independent Songwriters through Community and Opportunity At its core, Livin' The Write Life operates on an "everyone's welcome at the table" philosophy, providing crucial opportunities for aspiring songwriters. Through its limited Open Mic events, the organization offers a platform for new voices to be heard. The most promising talents are invited to join the exclusive "tribe," gaining access to high-profile exposure at renowned Writer's Nights and Showcases throughout Nashville. A Collective Approach to Success in Music City Livin' The Write Life is more than just a network; it's a supportive community where collaboration fuels collective success. By bringing together a large and diverse group of independent creatives, the organization aims to empower its members in an industry often dominated by major labels. This collective strength provides avenues for song pitching, publishing, and career development that might otherwise be out of reach for individual songwriters.

Send us a messagefor those who are operating with Holy Spirit discernment, there is no doubt that we have reached the last prophetic minutes of the Last Hour. The dramatic events that mark God's End-time Calendar are unfolding all around us – with the next major event to take place being the Rapture of God's True Church.And while Scripturally proven, not only is the “Catching Up” of God's redeemed ones before the Tribulation Period of God's Wrath which will fall upon an unbelieving world - being challenged or denied by many in the Church – but even the reality that we are in the last prophetic moments leading to the End of the Age  - and an eternity spent either with the Father in Heaven – or with  the enemy of men's souls in the fires Hell -  either being ignored or not believed, as well. It is an echo of the company of doubters Peter referred to in 2 Peter 3:4, where they cried out: “Where is the promise of His Coming? Forever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”However, we have reached the moment in time when things are most certainly not as they were even a few decades ago. Prophecy is  dramatically unfolding before our very eyes with confirmation that not only are we the last generation – but the only generation that can truly expect – and are even now witnessing - the final events Lord Jesus warned would take place just prior to His Return in the Second Coming – making the Rapture of His True Church even more imminent.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

In this episode of the My DPC Story Podcast, Dr. Naomi Lawrence Reid, founder of DoctoringDifferently.com, joins the show to share her journey from traditional clinical practice to becoming an expert in physician side gigs. Dr. Lawrence-Reid discusses the challenges of working within the insurance-driven healthcare system, including Dr. Reid's eye-opening “diaper chair” experience in an academic pediatric ER (see the blog accompanying this podcast at mydpcstory.com for the picture). Dr. Reid reveals her top five high-yield side gigs for physicians looking for alternatives beyond full-time clinical roles: launching an aesthetics practice, medical writing, per diem and locum tenens work, expert witness services, and veteran disability exams. She also demystifies the business and money side of working independently, touching on health insurance, retirement, malpractice, and business structures like S Corps. Dr. Reid emphasizes that these side gigs can provide financial stability and act as bridges to building a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. Listeners are encouraged to explore her resources, summer series, and Academy for more guidance. Whether you're a current or aspiring DPC doctor, this episode is a powerful resource for diversifying your income and reclaiming physician autonomy.Register for the DPC + Locums Conference: RISE UP!

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 487 - Global Golf Adventures & Rankings with Jason Deegan and Jason Lusk  We welcome two of the most well-traveled and respected voices in golf media: Jason Deegan, Managing Editor at GolfPass.com, and Jason Lusk, Director of Travel and Rankings for Golfweek. Together, they have played, photographed, and reviewed thousands of courses across the globe, bringing an insider's perspective on the world's top golf destinations and what makes each course memorable. In this episode, host Bill Hobson sits down with Deegan and Lusk during a rain delay at Cragun's Resort in Brainerd, Minnesota, where Tom Lehman recently completed a 27-hole redesign. The conversation dives into the stories behind their extensive travels, how golf course rankings are created, and why certain destinations consistently stand out to both casual players and golf purists. Deegan shares how his Michigan roots and early career, including coverage of major events like the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship, propelled him into a global golf career. He opens up about “pinch-me” moments—like standing on a tee box in New Zealand—and the joy of uncovering the artistic elements of golf course design around the world. Lusk, with his deep experience in both editorial design and travel coverage, reveals the behind-the-scenes work that goes into Golfweek's trusted rankings. He also recounts humorous and jaw-dropping travel stories, from playing unexpected pro-ams alongside Fred Funk and Bernhard Langer to battling travel nightmares with lost clubs and endless airport delays. The episode also highlights the importance of authenticity in course rankings. Both guests emphasize that their lists are based on genuine golfer reviews or expert panels, not advertising dollars, and why rankings should be seen as conversation starters rather than absolute truths. Deegan and Lusk reflect on the future of golf travel and share their personal dream destinations. Whether it's the rugged charm of Ireland, the pristine beauty of New Zealand, or iconic American destinations like Bandon Dunes, these experts know where the next great golf adventure awaits. Listeners will come away with: Insights on how golf media has evolved from print to digital. Travel tips and hacks learned from decades on the road. A better understanding of what makes a golf course truly exceptional. Inspiration to explore both local gems and bucket-list destinations. Whether you're a seasoned golfer planning your next trip or simply love the stories that make golf unique, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover the passion, humor, and expertise that Deegan and Lusk bring to every fairway they visit. ---------------- Subscribe to the FGN Podcast Watch FGN videos on YouTube Check out our other sports pod: Church Pew Sports TEXT or CALL (989) 272-2383 to share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions

The Western lifestyle is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity, thanks in part to cultural phenomena like Yellowstone. At the forefront of this movement is the PBR (Professional Bull Riders), an industry leader that revolutionized the sport with its innovative PBR Teams league. This groundbreaking format transforms individual bull riding into a dynamic team competition, featuring five-on-five games. The PBR Teams league's regular season includes each of its 10 teams hosting dedicated homestands, complemented by two neutral site events. The highly anticipated first neutral site event of the 2025 PBR Teams season is set to electrify the greater Atlanta area on July 26-27. Fans can catch all the action as the league bucks into Duluth, Georgia, at the Gas South Arena. Local fans will rally behind the Carolina Cowboys, the region's closest PBR Teams representative. Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, the Cowboys proudly represent the entire Southeastern United States. This formidable team is owned by NASCAR legend Richard Childress, with General Manager Austin Dillon and Head Coach Jerome Davis leading the charge. The Carolina Cowboys roster is stacked with talent, including the formidable 2022 PBR World Champion Daylon Swearingen. As one of the few professional bull riders from New York State, Swearingen has been a consistent force for the team since the league's inception in 2022. Following the start of the season last weekend, the Carolina Cowboys have already established themselves as a contender, boasting a 2-1 game record and ranking No. 3 in the league as they relentlessly pursue the PBR Teams World Championship title this October.

Show #213 of World Awakenings: The Fast Track to Enlightenment is a bit of a departure from our usual chat with spiritual masters, teachers, channels, and authors & experts, as we meet with musical artist, Dylan Meek. Growing up in a small town outside of Austin, Texas, piano master Jimmy Neely took Dylan in as a protege, passing along nearly a century of wisdom and music. Graduating High-school, Dylan moved to Boston, to live with his brother Buck Meek, and play organ and piano in gospel churches. These experiences provided the first inspiration for him to start singing. Since then, Dylan has consistently pushed artistic boundaries. His mastery of the keyboard remains a hallmark of his signature sound. Known for his Grammy-nominated work and a repertoire that spans classic soul, neo-soul, and rock, Dylan's music is a testament to fearless originality and the limitless power of connection. His forthcoming album “Love Languages” exemplifies this journey—a poetic celebration that challenges us all to love more openly and courageously. His mission is to inspire genuine connection in a fragmented world, inviting every listener to confront their truths, celebrate their nuances, and experience the catharsis of heartfelt creativity. Spiritual awakening and growth comes in many forms, and Dylan Meek and his music is a beautiful example of this!To watch World Awakenings on New Reality TV, and find out more about New Reality TV, just click this link.To find out more about Dylan Meek and his music, just go to his website, https://www.dylanmeekmusic.com/Dylan's newest album, "Love Languages" debuts September, 2025 on Liquid Culture RecordsYou can find & listen to Dylan's music on Spotify, Pandora & many more online audio outlets.

Last summer, Grant Fisher made history by becoming the first American man to win Olympic bronze in both the 5000m and 10000m at the Paris Olympic Games. Last month, he dropped down in distance and ran an 11-second personal best at the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic. Now, he's gearing up for the USATF Outdoor Championships, where he's hoping to land a spot on Team USA for this year's World Championships in Tokyo. In this episode, he talks about how his training is going, how he reflects on being an Olympian (never an under-dog again!), and what it was like being Faith Kipyegon's right-hand man during her Breaking 4 attempt.
