Podcasts about Integration

This episode explores how intimacy, desire, and erotic states function as powerful tools for healing, nervous system regulation, and personal transformation. You'll learn why certain forms of conscious erotic play create genuine altered states of consciousness, not through substances or external compounds, but through the body's own internal chemistry. This conversation reframes sexuality as a core aspect of health, performance, and emotional resilience rather than something separate from personal development or spirituality. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Kimi Inch is a somatic therapist and educator with over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of intimacy, conscious kink, trauma healing, and embodied self awareness. Her work centers on helping individuals and couples access deep states of connection and healing through structured, consent based practices that engage breath, sensation, power dynamics, and presence. She is known for creating safe, grounded spaces where people can explore desire in ways that support lasting nervous system regulation and authentic self expression. Together, Dave Asprey and Kimi explore how erotic experiences trigger specific neurochemical responses including oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins, and adrenaline, and why this internal cocktail mirrors the effects of many psychedelic and somatic healing modalities. They discuss surrender, safety, attunement, and aftercare as essential components of integration, and why unexpressed desire often leaks into leadership, relationships, and performance in destructive ways. You'll Learn: • How erotic states create real altered states of consciousness through internal neurochemistry • Why intimacy can function as a powerful form of nervous system regulation and trauma healing • The difference between conscious desire and compulsive behavior • How surrender, safety, and attunement reshape emotional and relational patterns • Why suppressed desire leaks into work, leadership, and relationships • What makes healthy power dynamics healing rather than harmful • The role of aftercare and integration in long term transformation • How erotic intelligence connects to vitality, authenticity, and human performance Thank you to our sponsors! -EMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE for 40% off. -Calroy | Head to https://calroy.com/dave for an exclusive discount. -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.

In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Estefana Johnson, a seasoned mental health clinician and director of clinical training at Arise Alliance Institute, to explore the complex connections between trauma, loss, and the process of healing. Through stories from her own unexpected path into behavioral health and clear explanations, Estefana shares a perspective on trauma that centers on unresolved loss, whether it is the loss of agency, safety, hope, or meaningful relationships.Together, they discuss how trauma manifests when the brain cannot process challenging experiences and how people often find themselves stuck, responding to past pain rather than present reality. Estefana Johnson explains how this can create recurring patterns that shape responses to everyday situations, both at home and at work. She introduces listeners to Critical Memory Integration (CMI), an approach designed to guide individuals beyond managing symptoms toward real resolution by helping them understand the deeper signals their bodies and emotions send, and make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming or inaccessible.The conversation also explores the concept of generational trauma, or as Estefana Johnson prefers, "generational data," and how our bodies can inherit survival adaptations from previous generations. Listeners are encouraged to be compassionate with themselves, seek support when facing discomfort, and realize that the search for clarity and healing begins with honest self-inquiry. Estefana Johnson leaves us with a hopeful message: the power to move forward and heal is within each of us, waiting to be discovered.About the Guest:Estefana Johnson, LCSW, brings over 20 years of experience in trauma and mental health care. She began her career as a Behavioral Health Technician in 2001 and later taught in Japan before moving into roles in residential treatment, medical social work, and clinical leadership. As Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance Institute, she develops and delivers curricula in trauma-focused care and interventions like Critical Memory Integration (CMI™), while also practicing clinically at Lighthouse Psychiatry & TMS in Gilbert, Arizona. Estefana is actively involved in research on therapeutic uses of psychedelics and is passionate about advancing innovative, healing-centered approaches.

In this episode I talk with Ryan from Toroa Group, a New Zealand-based founder building across tokenised funds and vault strategies, title-backed property tokens, and NZD/AUD stablecoins.We cover why stablecoins are still the clearest product-market fit, why non-USD stablecoins matter for smaller countries, how to tokenize title instead of fund units, and how they work with existing funds to offer tokenized fund access to DAOs, foundations and on-chain natives.Ryan also shares his “follow the demand, don't force education” philosophy and how tokenised assets are now able to provide utility over and above the legacy versions which is supercharging mainstream adoption.

In this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle we discuss the latest news, review common infection control and sanitary environment issues in ASCs and in our focus segment, discuss Navigating the Complexities of ASC Billing and Coding with Bob Lathrop from SIS.   This episode is sponsored by Surgical Information Systems,    Notes and Resources from this Episode: Cost pressures that battered ASCs in 2025: https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-transactions-and-valuation-issues/the-cost-pressures-that-battered-ascs-in-2025/?origin=ASCE&utm_source=ASCE&utm_medium=email&utm_content=newsletter&oly_enc_id=5567B4088734C3Z Focus on Sanitary Environment and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) in ASC Surveys Sanitary environment and IPC issues consistently rank among the top deficiencies in ambulatory surgery center (ASC) accreditation and certification surveys, making this a critical "hot issue" for 2025 and beyond. These citations directly impact patient safety by increasing risks of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and they appear frequently across major accreditors like CMS, AAAHC, and ACHC. For context: In AAAHC's 2025 Quality Roadmap (released September 2025), IPC remains a persistent top challenge, with deficiencies cited in nearly 90% of surveys for ASCs and office-based surgery settings. ACHC's November 2025 survey data highlights sanitary environment lapses (e.g., sanitation issues, incomplete policies) as a leading deficiency, often tied to inconsistent implementation of hand hygiene, glove techniques, and environmental cleaning. Historical CMS data shows patterns holding into recent years, with "Sanitary Environment" and "Infection Control Program" among the most cited, stemming from failures in basic practices like cleaning, sterilization, and safe injection protocols. These issues often arise from documentation gaps, staff inconsistencies, or overlooked details during busy operations, even in high-performing centers. Key Regulatory Requirements The foundation for sanitary environment and IPC in ASCs is CMS Conditions for Coverage (CfC) at 42 CFR § 416.51, which applies to Medicare-certified ASCs and influences other accreditors (deemed status via AAAHC, ACHC, etc.). Standard: Sanitary Environment (§ 416.51(a)): The ASC must provide a functional and sanitary environment for surgical services, avoiding sources and transmission of infections by adhering to professionally accepted standards (e.g., CDC, AORN, APIC guidelines). Standard: Infection Control Program (§ 416.51(b)): Maintain an ongoing, coordinated program to prevent, control, and investigate infections/communicable diseases. This includes: Designation of a qualified professional (e.g., infection preventionist) to oversee the program. Annual risk assessment to identify infection risks. Integration of nationally recognized guidelines (CDC core practices are mandatory if no other evidence-based standards apply). Policies for hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, sterilization/high-level disinfection (HLD), safe injection practices, and point-of-care devices.

AHmed Sharawi reports on a "blue-on-green" attack in Syria where an infiltrated security officer killed Americans. He attributes this to the Syrian leadership's reckless integration of jihadist militias into security forces without vetting. Sharawi and Roggio argue this proves terrorists cannot be trusted to police other terrorists. 1931

Have you ever felt that deep longing to step away from your practice—not for a long weekend or a quick vacation, but for a real pause? A stretch of time where you can rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself outside of the constant giving that comes with this work? That's exactly what Maegan Megginson and I explore in today's episode. Why Sabbaticals Matter—Beyond “Time Off” Most of us only hear the word sabbatical in academic circles, but as Maegan reminds us, its root is “Sabbath”—rest. Somewhere along the way, rest became another productivity tool, something to “use well” rather than simply experience. As therapists and practice owners, we need something different. A true sabbatical isn't for catching up on house projects or writing endless to-do lists—it's about completely reimagining your relationship with time, worth, and spaciousness. Transforming Your Relationship with Time: The Power of Sabbaticals for Therapists (00:06:57) The 4 Types of Sabbaticals for Small Business Owners (00:12:12) Healing & Self-Discovery During Time Away (00:17:43) Productivity Culture and Its Roots (00:20:38) Business Challenges to Taking a Sabbatical (00:25:18) Adjusting Business Systems to Integrate a Transformative Experience (00:29:45) Modeling Self-Care for Others (00:35:24) Collective Sabbatical for Conscious Shifts (00:36:45) Sabbatical Journey and Integration (00:40:27) Sabbatical School & Financial Freedom Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important I know the fears that come up, because I've had them too: “My practice will fall apart.” “Clients will leave.” “I can't afford a break.” “People will judge me.” But Maegan and I both believe this wholeheartedly: your business can handle you stepping away for four weeks—and you can handle it too. Preparing your practice for your absence actually builds strength and resilience into your systems. And in truth, four weeks is a tiny blip in your clients' lives. For many of them, it may even model something deeply healing. Sabbaticals as an Act of Rebellion Stepping back isn't indulgent—it's radical. It pushes against the cultural message that your worth depends on your output. It shows your clients, your colleagues, your kids, and the people who look up to you that it's possible to reclaim time, energy, and humanity in a world that constantly asks for more. Your rest creates ripple effects. When you care for yourself, you give others permission to imagine a different way too. This conversation reminded me just how essential meaningful time away is—not only for our health and longevity, but for the stability of our businesses and the well-being of the communities we support. If you're feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, this might be the moment to gently ask: What do I truly need right now? And… What might become possible if I gave myself four full weeks to breathe? Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills? Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

In this deeply transformative episode, Melissa sits down with therapist and integration guide Julian Bermudez, whose voice is so resonant you'll want to press “repeat.” Julian offers a trauma-informed lens that merges somatic awareness, deep presence, psychedelic-assisted healing, and self-inquiry to address survival patterns that are buried in the body and psyche.Together, they explore what trauma really is, how it shapes identity, and the soulful path back to authentic connection. You'll discover how healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about returning to who you are beneath the pain.We explore:• How trauma affects our identity and perception• The ways we adapt to survive—and how those adaptations show up today• How to get curious about our patterns rather than judging them• Tools for rebuilding inner relationships with gentleness and joy• The role of psychedelic integration in healing and awarenessConnect with Julian:Website: https://www.psychedelic-integration.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/psycheintegration/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-bermudez-ma-ccmp/FIND MELISSA:MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticHealingJourneys #TraumaHealing #PsychedelicIntegration #SelfInquiry #SomaticTherapy #InnerLiberation #EmotionalHealing #TransformationalHealing #HealingFromWithin #SomaticHealing #PsychedelicTherapy #TherapistPodcastGuest #JulianBermudez

If you've ever felt pulled apart by old triggers, family dynamics, or the loudest parts of yourself, this episode is for you. We will talk about spiritual integration — the slow, daily work of turning insights into real-life habits so your highest self can actually drive the bus. I share what helped me on a recent trip home: pausing before reacting, checking in with my energy, and using a simple energy-bubble meditation to feel safe and whole. You'll hear about how I noticed shame creeping in like a runaway train, and how small, gentle conversations with those younger, exiled parts of myself changed everything. We also get into parts work — a friendly intro to Internal Family Systems — and how shame, anger, or fear can be signals that a part of you needs to be seen, not punished. The episode is full of real-time tools: name the part that's speaking, ask what story it believes, and invite it back to the table with compassion. Boundaries come up as a huge piece of integration. When you know your core self, your edges become clear: what's yours to carry and what isn't, which conversations you'll engage in and which you won't, and what parts of your life are sacred and just for you. I share specific boundary types to experiment with — physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual — and why protecting those edges helps your creativity and clarity thrive. Integration needs quiet. The episode is a reminder that rest and small rituals such as walks without your phone, journaling, visualization, or engaging in creativity are not luxuries — that's where the real work happens. Try tiny practices: pause and breathe before you answer, journal a micro-conversation with a younger part, or give yourself permission to keep one dream private. This is not one-and-done — integration is lifelong and seasonal. But the small, steady turns toward wholeness really add up.  Thanks for listening and for making space to be whole. Stay curious, stay kind to yourself, and keep returning to where it's quiet.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizWhy do old wounds come back just when we think we've healed them?In this episode, I'm revisiting a familiar emotional reaction that came back after years of quiet. A missing piece of the healing puzzle showed itself when I least expected it… and shadow work pulled up old beliefs about not being enough, and I could suddenly see how often I still traded truth for peace.Triggers return to reveal what's ready to be integrated. Layers only show themselves when we're capable of holding them. Journaling and honest reflection helped me understand what the trigger was trying to teach. You'll hear the exact questions that helped me stop fighting the feeling and start listening to it. Sometimes the next level only appears when the old story knocks again.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:18] Why old triggers return even when you believe the work is done[05:46] What happens when a missing layer of healing finally surfaces[08:33] How shadow work uncovers the deeper story beneath not-enoughness[11:57] The reason familiar dynamics flare when you silence your voice to keep peace[15:42] Why triggers reveal where integration is still needed instead of proving you failed[18:21] How journaling can expose the exact belief running the reaction[21:09] What changes when you ask what lesson is waiting in the discomfort[24:16] How to move forward when you've processed all you can on your ownFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

In this profound conversation, Dr. Daniel Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and bestselling author—shares groundbreaking insights on parenting, brain development, and human flourishing.Dr. Daniel Siegel is one of the world's leading experts on interpersonal neurobiology and author of influential books including "The Developing Mind," "Parenting from the Inside Out," "The Whole-Brain Child," and "Mindsight." His work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice.THE CORE PRINCIPLE: INTEGRATIONDaniel Siegel introduces the foundational concept governing well-being across all scales—from neurons to nations.Integration means honoring differences (differentiation) while creating connections (linkage). When integration is blocked, we experience chaos, rigidity, or both. The revolutionary equation: integrative relationships create integrated brains, which generate resilient minds, meaningful relationships, and flourishing lives.TEMPERAMENT VS. PERSONALITY: THE NEUROSCIENCEDr. Siegel reveals cutting-edge research on how temperament—rooted in brain stem connectivity formed in the womb—differs from personality. Temperament is inborn (not necessarily genetic) and characterised by sensitivity and intensity across three core motivational drives: Agency (embodied empowerment), Bonding (relational connection), and Certainty (predictability and safety). Personality develops as we adapt our temperament through experience, particularly attachment relationships.THE BEST PREDICTOR OF CHILD OUTCOMESThe most powerful finding in attachment research: how parents make sense of their own life history predicts their child's development better than what actually happened to them. PRACTICAL PARENTING WISDOMLearn the "4 S's" framework—how children need to be Seen, Soothed, Safe, and Secure. Discover why humans evolved for "alloparenting" with multiple caregivers. Understand the COAL state of mind (Curious, Open, Accepting, Loving) when navigating challenging behaviors.NINE DOMAINS OF INTEGRATIONDr. Siegel explains practical applications: Left-Right Integration (your infant's right-hemisphere communication), Vertical Integration (accessing body wisdom), Memory Integration (transforming implicit memories), and Consciousness Integration (the "Wheel of Awareness" practice).THE MWE IDENTITYDaniel Siegel offers hope: we can raise the next generation with expanded identity—not just "me" but "MWE" (me + we), recognizing we're part of interconnected systems. This shift could transform humanity's trajectory toward collaboration and thriving.Other References: "Mothers and Others" by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Roger Sperry's Nobel Prize work (1981), Carol Dweck's research, Ed Tronick's "Still Face Experiment," Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang's research(00:00) Introduction (02:59) What is Integration?

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University. She is the author of the poetry collections Psalm and Atlas Hour, and the essay collection The Nail in the Tree: Essays on Art, Violence, and Childhood. A former longtime editor of the literary journal Crazyhorse, she directs Fairfield University's Low-Residency MFA and founded Poetry in Communities, an initiative bringing poetry to communities affected by violence.

Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.” (Hawley School's Principal sends this message to parents, including Carol Ann)Living inside the tension where nothing happened and everything changedWriters allowing mystery, unknowing, and time to remain unresolvedNaming “directly affected families” and later “families of loss”Ethical care for proximity without flattening grief into universalityThe moral value of being useful within an affected communityNarrowing attention as survival, parenting, and poetic disciplineChoosing writing, presence, and community over national policy debatesChildhood formation under the long shadow of gun violence“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree. And I'm the tree.” (Carol Ann quotes her older son, then in 4th grade)Growth as accommodation rather than healing or resolutionIntegration without erasure as a model for living with traumaRefusing happy-ending narratives after mass violence“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”Poetry as dwelling inside experience rather than extracting meaningResisting stories that turn suffering into takeawaysCrucifixion imagery, nails, trees, and the violence of embodiment“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”Violence as elemental, human, animal, and morally unsettlingDistinguishing intellectual mastery from dwelling in lived experienceA poem's turn toward fear: loving children and fearing harm“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”Childhood memory, danger, sweetness, and oceanic smallnessBeing comforted by smallness inside something vast and terrifyingEnding without closure, choosing remembrance over resolution#CarolAnnDavis#PoetryAndViolence#TraumaAndAttention#SandyHook#SandyHookPromise#FaithAndWriting#Poetry#ChildhoodAndMemoryProduction NotesThis podcast featured Carol Ann DavisEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, Zoë Halaban, Kacie Barrett & Emily BrookfieldA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

The hardest part of ascension often shows up after you awaken, when things suddenly feel heavier, quieter, or strangely unclear. I see many people reach this phase and start questioning why life no longer feels the way it did earlier on the path. In this episode, I speak to that uncomfortable in-between space where something has clearly shifted, but hasn't fully come into view yet.

This Week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Rivian's bold vertical integration bet as the EV maker announced plans to build their own chips and lidar sensors, effectively moving away from NVIDIA.Is the introduction of “Autonomy+”, a new software subscription priced to undercut competitors a risky distraction or a necessary move as the company works toward profitability? As Rivian looks inward, Wayve signed a major win, signing a definitive agreement to scale with Nissan in North America and Japan beginning in 2027.Then there is Uber. Who does Uber want to be when autonomy grows up, and who will their partners ultimately be and what those relationships will look like in the long term? Currently, Uber's autonomy narrative faces challenges, as the company appears to be playing defense while getting front-run by partners Waymo in the U.S. and Momenta in Abu Dhabi. Closing out the show, Grayson and Walt discuss the growing world of international autonomy on the weekly Foreign Autonomy Desk segment, covering updates from Bolt, Stellantis, and Caterpillar.Episode Chapters0:00 Rivian's Autonomy Ambitions 13:11 Licensing Autonomous Driving Stacks17:29 Wayve's Approach to Autonomy 21:07 Tesla's Safety Attendant Out in Austin Plans23:35 Waymo's Blitz Scaling 27:37 Waymo's Growing OOH Ad Business 32:32 Uber's Autonomy Narrative 37:57 Serve Robotics 2,000 Robot Delivery Milestone39:30 Tensor Auto / Zero Partnership 42:13 Aurora's Permian Basin Expansion 44:47 Foreign Autonomy Desk 52:16 Next Week Recorded on Friday, December 12, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Get access to The Backroom (80+ EXCLUSIVE episodes): https://www.patreon.com/OneDime⁠Given there is some confusion regarding my positions on immigration, I decided to release the BACKROOM exclusive episode (originally supposed to be for Patrons only) that I did with Benjamin Studebaker (Cambridge, and author of the Chronic Crisis of American Democracy) all on the subject of immigration,—what both the left and right get wrong, and what leftists & liberals don't understand about the rise of the far-right in Europe. This episode is a heavy one! The conversation delves into the complexities of immigration and why the left needs a better response to mass migration and how the far-right captured many working class people across the world. We address topics such as the assimilation, social cohesion, demographic change, brain drain, declining bargaining power, and  the socio-economic impacts of immigration, globalization, and neoliberalism more broadly. The dialogue also touches on the challenges and necessities of having an open discourse on immigration without falling into binary thinking ideological trap.Timestamps: 00:00 How Leftists and and Liberals Often Respond to immigration04:25 Social Cohesion and Integration12:55 Brain Drain and Economic Imperialism 18:46 Assimilation Challenges30:58 Modern Immigration Policies45:21 European Union and Migration55:07 Racism, Xenophobia and tribalism56:05 Trust and Integration in Multi-Ethnic Societies58:27 Leftist and Liberal Perspectives on Immigration01:05:22 Cosmopolitanism vs. Localism01:24:09 The Role of the Professional Managerial Class (PMC)01:34:45 Technocratic Mindset and Immigration01:39:58 Its about more than  "Living Standards"01:41:45 Internationalism and Globalism Critique01:45:39 Managerialism in Progressivism01:52:14 Challenges of Assimilation and Immigration02:27:13 Climate Change and Refugee Crisis02:28:31 Concluding Thoughts on Political DiscourseGUEST:Benjamin Studebaker — political theorist; author of Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies and The Chronic Crisis of Liberal Democracy.• Website: https://benjaminstudebaker.com/about/• Follow Benjamin Studebaker on X: https://x.com/BMStudebakerFOLLOW 1Dime: • Substack (Articles and Essays): https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime • X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial • Instagram: / tonyof1dime• Check out my main channel videos: / @1dimeeCheck out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee.Outro Music by Karl Casey. Leave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

In this heartfelt in‑person conversation from Florida, Tina Paulus‑Krause and her daughter Courtney explore what happens after a transformational retreat or "reset." They share the real integration work required once you return to everyday life—how to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Through their own mother–daughter healing journey, Tina and Courtney unpack key themes like accountability, nervous system regulation, spiritual growth, and the courage it takes to stop trying to "fix" everyone else and start doing your own inner work. They define what it truly means to hold space, why receiving is so hard (especially for leaders, moms, and high achievers), and how retreats, membership support, and spiritual development can create lasting change in relationships and life. If you've ever left a retreat, program, or conference wondering "Now what?", this episode will give you language, perspective, and hope for the next phase of your journey. Timestamps / Chapters [00:00] Welcome & setup In-person podcast in Florida, preparing for end-of-year retreats; today's focus: what happens after the reset. [01:36] The aftermath & integration Courtney on going back home, relationships, and work with new tools—and why integration is ongoing, not instant. [04:27] Real mother–daughter work Tina shares how their relationship was rebuilt through dark nights of the soul, communication, and imperfect attempts to integrate new tools. [07:05] Accountability & not feeling alone Feeling seen and heard at retreat, the "honeymoon phase," and why accountability and community matter when life happens. [10:27] Processes to clean, clear, and come back to self Modern distractions, getting stuck, and why we need repeatable practices to return to ourselves. [11:09] What "holding space" really means Courtney defines holding space emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—without fixing, judging, or gossiping. [13:04] From fixing to listening & self-space Tina's shift from fixer to space-holder; listening to understand; holding space for yourself and creating the retreat center. [15:04] Learning to receive Why receiving feels so uncomfortable, how ego resists it, and how it transformed their relationship. [18:12] Energy exchange & love languages Balancing giving and receiving, honoring different love languages, and finding shared activities that create true connection. [20:15] Generational patterns & mother–child retreats Why change often starts with the mom, generational healing, and inviting mothers and children into new ways of relating. [22:17] Doing the work & why the Reset Retreat exists Daily relationship work, visioning individually and together, and stepping out of "fixing everyone but me." [23:22] Choice, suffering & turning the mirror Suffering as a choice, pausing, introspection, and having hard conversations as the way through. [24:53] From darkness to development Victimhood vs. self-development, family resistance, mirror work, and how their inner work became a life mission. [26:29] Nervous system regulation & why Tina does this work Hurt people vs. transformed people, tools Tina wishes she had when her kids were young, and learning to manage the nervous system. [28:13] Why Courtney does this work Worthiness, consciousness, and supporting people to step through the "gates" into higher awareness and responsibility. [32:03] Lone wolves & being truly held Coaching, being fully honest, not having to do it alone, and creating a structure that can hold even deep trauma. [39:28] Crystal Clear Missions & the membership Courtney explains their organization, weekly check-ins/check-outs, consciousness classes, and channeled spiritual support. [44:53] Different ways to step in From guides to membership to 3-day immersives—meeting people where they are on the journey. [45:30] Going public & calling people in Stepping more into the public eye, co-creation, and an open invitation to those who feel called.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Alex Arguelles—CEO, co-founder, and operator who scaled from a two-man startup in a garage to 9,000+ units across multiple states by his early 30s. We unpack how he started buying distressed debt right out of college in 2007–2008, raised 100% investor capital, vertically integrated management, and navigated all the headaches that come with growing from 3 employees to 175 and working through 15,000 apartments over 13 years.     We talk about raising credibility when you're young and broke, hiring (and firing) your first key people, managing teams in multiple states, and why Alex believes your unfair advantage is your willingness to "just learn" by getting your hands dirty. Then we fast-forward to today and dive into his new national sale-leaseback platform, Sell2Rent, how it helps investors buy cash-flowing homes with prepaid rent, and why he thinks the people willing to take smart risks in this cycle will be the ones ahead in 2–3 years.   If you're trying to go from one or two deals to building something scalable, whether that's a lean portfolio or a full-blown company. This one's a real-world masterclass in cycles, capital, people, and mindset.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:01 Meet Alex Arguelles: From 21-year-old founder to 9,000 units 02:16 Scaling from 3 people to 175 employees before exiting in 2020 03:24 Running toward the fire: distressed debt & vertical integration 05:03 No burn, no money, and desensitized to risk 06:48 The problems with building credibility as a young investor 08:02 Dealing with doubters and how pain tolerance plays into his success 09:06 Learning through Mortgage for Dummies and no YouTube  10:05 Lessons from scaling across states on culture, DNA & hiring remotely 11:20 The importance of hiring better people to avoid big, expensive mistakes 15:04 Where investors can find opportunities in real estate today 16:36 The Florida real estate market: valuations and rents holding (for now) 17:22 The differences between 2008 and 2025 18:30 How data access can help you collaborate with other investors in your area 20:08 The first step to getting involved in multifamily real estate 21:06 How you should navigate the single-family real estate market 22:37 Sell2Rent: A nationwide platform that connects investors with off-market properties 23:49 What makes Sell2Rent different from other similar platforms  25:02 How taking smarter risks today will put you ahead in 2-3 years 27:14 How to get in touch with Alex and his team   Quotables   "We started running towards the fire.

Over 100,000 Ukrainian refugees have come to Estonia at some point since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Of those, tens of thousands remain in the country, building their own communities and integrating with local Estonians. For many, art is an important assertion of Ukrainian identity, but also a bridge to their new neighbors. Scholar and filmmaker Parker Watt set out to document these stories and embarked on an integration journey of his own during a year spent in Estonia, finding meaning at each step, proverbial and literal, along the way.Image: Facebook | Ukrainian song and dance group “Volya”Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Send us a textIn this deeply honest solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer opens up about a triggering moment that forced him to confront the cultural lie of “hustle harder.” After seeing a client publicly champion a work-until-you-break mentality—the very mindset that once led them to burnout—Justin reflects on the destructive pursuit of worth through achievement.He unpacks how striving steals our peace, fractures our identity, and disconnects us from God's rhythms. Drawing from past personal battles with burnout and insights from his recent conversation with worship artist Pat Barrett, Justin explores the life-changing power of contentment: needing nothing, proving nothing, and operating from God-given identity instead of worldly ambition.This episode is a call to pause, evaluate the lies you've believed about success, and realign your life with the rhythms God designed you to thrive in. Whether you're on the brink of burnout or simply tired of the chase, Justin offers a path back to peace, presence, and purpose.TakeawaysThe world's version of success often leads to decay, disconnection, and burnout.Striving for validation costs your health, peace, and relationships.Contentment—not achievement—is what unlocks true creativity, freedom, and capacity.Boundaries are spiritual: they create presence, peace, and protection.Integration doesn't mean constant work—it requires intentional separation and presence.You can't operate in your calling while living in chaos.Your body signals misalignment through anxiety, exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog.God designed rhythms of rest, obedience, and peace so you can thrive.Living by the world's expectations leads to destruction; living by God's design leads to purpose.Healing comes from alignment—not more effort, but more surrender.Sound Bites“The world applauds burnout—but it destroys your soul.”“A content person is dangerous because they need nothing from anyone.”“If you have no boundaries, you have no presence. Without presence, you have no peace.”“Striving steals your health, but obedience restores it.”“Your body is telling you the truth—even when the world is lying to you.”Chapters00:00 — Welcome & Introduction01:30 — The Instagram Post That Triggered Everything03:00 — The Dangerous Lie of Work-Obsessed Culture05:00 — Wisdom from Pat Barrett: The Power of Contentment06:30 — Why Needing Nothing Makes You More Creative07:30 — Integration vs. Disintegration: The Misuse of “Balance”10:00 — When Work Consumes Family, Health, and Identity11:30 — The Real Cost of Hustle Culture12:30 — From Burnout to Breakthrough: A Client's Story14:00 — Worldly Success vs. God-Given Design15:00 — How the Body Reveals Misalignment16:00 — Moving Back Into Alignment With God's Rhythms17:00 — A Call to Self-Awareness, Correction, and Surrender===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

Today we are talking about Drupal for Applications, Types of Applications Drupal can build, and How we change our thinking of Drupal with guests Alexander Varwijk (far-vag) & Jürgen Haas. We'll also cover Drupal Remote Dashboard as our module of the week. For show notes visit: https://www.talkingDrupal.com/531 Topics Drupal as an Application Framework Challenges with Drupal for Real-Time Applications Exciting Prospects with AI and Drupal Showcasing Successful Drupal Implementations Batch Processing and Worker Improvements Orchestration and Integration with External Platforms Future of Drupal as an Application Framework Resources Drupal Advent Calendar Proposal: Restructuring Drupal Internals by Alexander Varwijk Introducing Symfony/Runtime in Drupal Maestro Guests Alexander Varwijk - alexandervarwijk.com/ Kingdutch Jürgen Haas - lakedrops.com jurgenhaas Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Fei Lauren - feilauren MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - mandclu.com mandclu Brief description: Have you ever wanted to manage and monitor a portfolio of Drupal sites from a single interface? There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Drupal Remote Dashboard (DRD) Brief history How old: created in Jan 2010 by Jürgen Haas (jurgenhaas) of LakeDrops Versions available: 4.1.7 which works with Drupal 10 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Full Documentation Guide Number of open issues: 22 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch Usage stats: 126 sites Module features and usage With the module enabled, for each monitored site you'll be able to review information like the version of core, modules, and themes, as well as the status report. Note that the dashboard and monitored sites do NOT need to be on the same major version of core. You can also collect any block from a remote site to include on your dashboard, or access the error logs to review them in the dashboard You can execute maintenance tasks like taking sites in or out of maintenance mode, running cron or update.php, as well as flushing cache The dashboard will also allow you to rebuild job schedulers, update translations from drupal.org, change user credentials, or execute arbitrary PHP code, so you'll definitely want to be selective about who will have access From the collected status information you can show a status widget for each domain to display grouped traffic light status levels for security, health, tuning, seo and others. You can also create aggregate status widgets, for example to show the composite health of all sites in a multisite installation. Internally DRD is built around a number of entities, and the documentation includes an architecture page with an Entity Relationship Diagram, while the glossary page includes a description for each of the entities and what Drupal site information they map to. Obviously security for this kind of setup is paramount, and there's a documentation page that details the encryption and authentication methods that are supported Sites that you want to monitor will need to have the DRD Agent module installed, which provides a simple wrapper to receive, route, handle and respond to requests from authorised Drupal Remote Dashboards. It's worth pointing out that the RDR Agent module is in use by 3,152 sites according to drupal.org, so there may be a small number of sites acting as dashboards, but on average each of them is monitoring 25 sites.

I interviewed Andrew M. Davis about his forthcoming book titled Whitehead's Universe: A Prismatic Introduction on Thursday, December 4, 2025. It's absolutely the best introduction to Alfred North Whitehead's work in Process Philosophy, and I can't recommend it enough. The worst part is that it isn't set to release until sometime next year, but you can get an early look at some drafts if you sign up with some of Davis' upcoming Whitehead's Universe courses that are being offered in January and February 2026. Whitehead's Process Philosophy centers the human experience at the center of it's philosophy, and therefore focuses on the dynamic flux and flow of experience as we inherit past memories, anticipate the future, decide what actions to take moment to moment, and synthesize it all through our feelings which help to solidify our core memories through the peak emotional experiences of our lives. Davis helps us navigate through Whitehead's neologisms, which are attempting to rewire our brain to think about the nature of reality in a completely new and different way. The subject-predicate and noun-emphasized object-oriented structure of the English isn't doing us any favors, but thankfully the immersive experiences that are offered through immersive art and entertainment is very much oriented into the dynamic flux of our experience, through what is theorized as presence theory in virtual reality. I have my own elemental theory of presence, and in this conversation with Davis I discovered that there's a lot of resonance with how Whitehead is reconceptualizing the nature of reality into a more verb-based event ontology. This is my fifth deep dive on Process Philosophy, and so be sure to check out my other conversations here: #965: Primer on Whitehead's Process Philosophy as a Paradigm Shift & Foundation for Experiential Design #1147: Thirteen Philosophers on the Problem of Opposites: Grant Maxwell's Integration & Difference Book & Archetypal Approaches to Character #1183: From Kant to an Organic View of Reality: Scaffolding a Process-Relational Paradigm Shift with Whitehead Scholar Matt Segall #1568: A Process-Relational Philosophy View on AI, Intelligence, & Consciousness with Matt Segall #1708: How Process Philosophy Centers Human Experience.

John Casmon interviews Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of a vertically integrated “Freedom Family” of nine real estate businesses, about how she moved from Ohio turnkey rentals into larger multifamily and fund management. Dani walks through why she brought renovations, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and capital raising in-house, and how that 56-unit “drugs, thugs and bugs” deal became a $2M proof-of-concept for scaling apartments. She shares her hard-won lessons on hiring “Ferrari-level” leaders, structuring roles with profit sharing, and keeping a 100% payout track record by always making investors whole—even on bad deals. Dani also explains why many turnkey buyers don't actually want to be landlords, how she now focuses on truly passive vehicles like funds and syndications, and where she's seeing opportunities in Sun Belt multifamily, senior housing, self-storage, and build-to-rent as bridge loans come due over the next few years.

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH
