Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Sharon Schneider, founder of Integrated Capital Strategies. She works with families and foundations to align all of their activities with their values, expanding from philanthropy and impact investments to advocacy, operating businesses and property management/household operations. She is the author of "Handbook for an Integrated Life: A Practical Guide to Aligning Your Everyday Choices with Your Internal Compass". Previously Sharon served as Executive Director of the Telluray Foundation and was the founding Director of the Walton Personal Philanthropy Group. She was also co-founder and CEO of the for-profit social enterprise Moxie Jean, a Chicago Innovation Award winner in 2013 and a 2012 portfolio company of renowned tech accelerator Excelerate Labs (now TechStars Chicago). Moxie Jean was acquired by Schoola in 2015. Before starting Moxie Jean, Schneider spent 12 years as a staff member and consultant to private foundations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and dozens of small family foundations, working on issues ranging from strategic planning and outcome management to engaging your family in philanthropy. Sharon wrote a highly regarded book about the concept of an “Integrated Life”, and she shares with our audience the meaning of this term and its key takeaways for UHNW families. In her writings, Sharon posits that these is a “3rd Gen Problem” – that by the time G3 steps into the leadership role, the family office structure begins to strain. She describes this problem, and illustrates how it is manifested across families, why it occurs, and most importantly, what to do about it. Through her work with families, Sharon has formulated 8 principles for a values-aligned family office, and she unpacks her thinking and practical insights related to the 8 principles. She then provides some specific practical applications of the principles, and shares some use cases that can help bring the principles to life for our audience. Enjoy this informative conversation with one of the best recognized philanthropy advisors and practitioners in the family wealth space.

As we wrap up our teaching series, A Link in the Chain, Romans 12:1-2 challenges us to consider what it truly means to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This powerful passage urges us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. But what does this look like in our daily lives? It's about shifting our focus from a 'my way' mentality to one that seeks God's will. We're reminded that everyone sacrifices to something - whether it's career, relationships, or comfort. The question is: what are we sacrificing to, and how is it shaping us? By offering ourselves as living sacrifices to Christ, we open the door to true transformation. This isn't about willpower, but about positioning ourselves close to the source of love and life. Like plants growing in the right conditions, we flourish when we create space for God's presence in our lives. This transformation isn't just spiritual - it's meant to be embodied in how we live, work, and interact with others. As we reflect on God's mercies, we find the energy for this transformed life, becoming living testimonies of Christ's love in a world hungry for meaning and purpose.

She also explains the distinction between vision and strategy, emphasizing how a clear vision provides direction while strategy serves as the actionable plan to bring it to life.

In this message, we dive into what it means to be in the world but not of it, exploring Jesus' call not just to have faith in Him, but to live with the faith of Him. We'll unpack how kingdom living doesn't exempt us from pain—but it does give us a way through it.

True Kingdom relationships are not the fruit themselves but the place where we bear fruit. When we isolate Jesus from our relationships, we rely on our own strength, leading to struggle and imbalance. But when we fully integrate Him, our relationships amplify God's voice, reflect His love, and foster true growth. Join Pastor Phillip Brown as he unpacks how to cultivate relationships that glorify God and align with His purpose.

What if your work—no matter what it is—wasn't just a job, but kingdom work? In this message, we dive into Psalm 90:17 and Jesus' parable in Luke 16 to uncover the purpose behind all work and how God establishes the work of our hands. Too often, we separate "secular" work from "ministry" work, but the truth is, anything done with faithfulness and excellence can be kingdom work.

Fear and faith shape how we live—one leads to worry, the other to trust in God's plan. In this message, Pastor Sam Grosso unpacks Jesus' teaching on mustard seed faith, showing how even small faith, when planted in God's will, can grow and move mountains.

I think I speak for millions of Americans who wonder about COVID-19, all the advice we were getting from the federal government and all the pills we were being made to take during COVID-19. It caused many people to wake up and question Western medicine.

We have within us the ability to step out in faith and confidently address those things that seem beyond our limits. Faith shows us the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) Listen to hear how you are a vessel for God's greatness!   Connect with Diana: integratedpurposemanagement.com Like us on Facebook Follow us on LinkedIn   Quick Episode Summary: Diana Romero introduces the podcast and sponsor, IPM Professional Coaching, highlighting their role in helping individuals reach their potential.

Daniel gave all credit to God when revealing the dream to the king, who then rewarded Daniel with a high position in the kingdom.

However, real growth would sometimes mean that you'd have to pause, slow down, and carefully consider what the most meaningful thing in your life truly is and if you're spending your limited time with the people who mean a lot to you. Work-life balance is like walking on a tightrope - you have to keep each side of yourself equal in order to stay upright. However, being in balance in this way is still a stressful picture. Harmony is different, it's about making one side of your life work well with the other, embracing both and discerning which deserves priority in the moment. It's difficult to see past your own hardships and your own pain. However, when dealing with others, it's better to always assume the best in them and recognize that they might be going through something heavy in their life. You can only know so much about a person, even if you see them every day. It is best to give people the benefit of the doubt. Learn to say no. You don't have to say yes to everything and to everyone. Protect your calendar, be mindful of what you're dedicating your schedule to, and make sure that you are always able to keep your work in harmony with your personal life. When you are given a request, take time to really consider if you should say yes or no to it. “[Work-life] balance to me [is] balancing on a tightrope, if you don't have them equal, then you're not going to be balanced. So harmony just feels better. My goal is just that I feel good about both areas. I'm trying to build both [areas] into my life happily.” - Emily RassamConnect with Emily Rassam:Website: https://archerim.com/ , https://archerim.com/team-members/emily-c-rassam/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyjcasey/ Connect with Theresa and Ivana:Websites:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: https://tsc-consultants.com/ Ivana, Courageous Being: https://www.courageousbeing.com/ Instagram:Ivana: https://www.instagram.com/courbeing/ Theresa: https://www.instagram.com/tscconsultants/ LinkedIn: Step into the Pivot: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/step-into-the-pivot/ Theresa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tree-conti/ Ivana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivipol/

In this episode of The Integrated Life podcast, Diana tells of a recent time when praying for a close friend's very ill granddaughter. She had an "Awe Ha" moment to understand that God provides His strength through humility. Many times, we think of humility as being weak, but it is through being humble that we access God's strength. Psalm 149:4 (NLT), For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Listen to learn more.
