If you've ever felt a sudden “voice” telling you to break up, and it came with guilt, fear, or shame, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we're responding to a message that deeply moved us. A man shared that after hearing a sermon, he felt what seemed like conviction telling him he was in the wrong relationship and needed to leave, even though he loves his girlfriend and wants to serve Christ with her.So how do you know if something is truly from God?In this episode, we talk about the difference between conviction and anxiety. We unpack how God actually leads His children. And we share why we do not believe He randomly asks someone to leave a relationship as a test of obedience or trust.If a thought feels urgent, condemning, and heavy, it may not be the Holy Spirit. God's voice brings clarity and peace, even when it challenges us. It does not trap you in shame or constant second-guessing.If you struggle with relationship anxiety or constantly question whether you should stay or go, this episode will help you slow down and discern what is really happening beneath the fear.Links-Podcast EXCLUSIVE 3-Masterclass Bundle:https://stan.store/joyrossignol/p/3masterclass-bundleIf you're ready to finally quiet the noise and feel grounded in your relationship again, now is the perfect time to join.Join Silence the Noise Course:https://joy-dima.mykajabi.com/offers/Te3uYz2J/checkoutWant to dive deeper? 1:1 Relationship Anxiety Intensive:https://stan.store/joyrossignol/p/11-relationship-anxiety-intensivePayment plan for 1:1 Intensive: https://stan.store/joyrossignol/p/11-relationship-anxiety-intensive-payment-planMost intimate way to work with me-1:1 Coaching Mentorship (3-months): https://gz43pjtl2nc.typeform.com/to/nRp3NRTyOther resources: https://stan.store/joyrossignol

Fiber is “a lot of investment up front for that stream of cash flow in the future,” Derek Doyle tells us. At C Spire, that reality defines nearly every strategic decision.The advanced technology and communications company has been reinventing itself for more than 70 years, Doyle tells us. Today, it is the largest privately held wireless carrier in the U.S. and operates 22,000 miles of fiber, placing it among the top 20 fiber internet providers in the country by premise passings, he tells us. The company has invested hundreds of millions of dollars expanding beyond Mississippi into Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida, Doyle tells us—moves that require disciplined capital judgment.For Doyle, capital allocation is not just about near-term profit. It is about equity value. Public companies may emphasize shareholder return metrics, but as a private company, C Spire centers on equity value growth, he tells us. “I'm a big intrinsic value person,” Doyle explains, grounding decisions in discounted cash flow and intrinsic value models, he tells us.That approach requires looking beyond projected profit to the full funding equation—how much must be borrowed, how much capital deployed up front, and what long-term cash flows justify the investment, Doyle tells us.Ultimately, the objective is clear: invest resources in what “drives that needle the most,” he tells us—ensuring that growth in connectivity translates into sustainable enterprise value.

What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it?  This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

The mind isn't naturally cloudy. It's naturally clear and luminous. If you're in the habit of watching a sunset or looking into the faces of children or elders or the mirror, you probably already know: luminosity is right there, right here.But if you look in the mirror and don't see your own luminous mind – and heart - they're all one system – maybe the clouds have rolled in. And in that case, maybe, just for a moment or hour or day or week, clear the sky, and protect your beautiful mind. Take a break from news media and social media. Choose a tall glass of soda water with lime, or a hot cup of tea. Watch that sun set, or watch the sun rise if you're an early bird like me. Watch Ken Burns' American Revolution (not a paid post, but it's so inspiring). There's wisdom not in turning away permanently – we have work to do! – but in taking a break. I'm taking a week off to welcome the 2026 class of the Mindfulness in Law Teacher Training to our first Intensive (!!), so the Wake Up Call will be dark next week. Happy Valentine's Day. While you're out buying chocolates, think about giving yourself a little love, too by giving your luminous mind a break. ♥️♥️

OYSN! Legacy Series – Bonus Replay Episode 116 As part of the OYSN! Legacy Series, I'm sharing this special bonus replay featuring one of my Diamonds, Velvet Flair, whose story reflects what so many midlife women experience—but rarely talk about. When Velvet Flair joined Own Your Sexuality Now!, she was newly post-menopause and feeling stuck in both her life and her marriage. She knew something wasn't working, felt like she was in crisis with her husband, and realized she needed support beyond what she could do on her own. Opening up about sexual intimacy felt uncomfortable at first—but once she did, everything began to shift. In this episode, Velvet Flair shares the beliefs she carried about intimacy before joining OYSN, what finally motivated her to seek help, and how her relationship and sense of self transformed once she allowed herself to be supported.  https://soniawrightmd.com/oysn-intensive/ ✨ Special Invitation If this conversation resonates with you, Own Your Sexuality Now is being offered one final time, starting Saturday, January 31, as a live weekend intensive on Zoom.

In this episode, I share why I created the Therapeutic Yoga Intensive, who it's truly for, and the problem it's designed to solve. I speak to that quiet moment many experienced teachers and health professionals reach—when effort, compassion, and knowledge stop translating into lasting change, and you start to sense there must be another way. I explain how this work shifts the focus from chasing sensation and symptoms to understanding coordination, motor control, and how the body truly adapts. If you've ever felt stuck, confused, or doubtful despite doing "everything right," this episode is an invitation to see movement, healing, and your work with others in a completely new way.

My professorial journey continues.

If you're someone who sets big goals, works hard toward them, and still feels like you're falling short — even when you're doing a lot right — this episode is for you.In today's episode, I'm sharing a personal and vulnerable story from my own life that has nothing to do with weight loss or fitness on the surface, but everything to do with why so many high-achieving women feel like failures despite consistent effort.We're talking about how the way we define and measure success can quietly sabotage progress — in business, in health, and in life — and why chasing a single outcome often leads to frustration, burnout, and self-doubt instead of fulfillment.This episode isn't about lowering your standards or wanting less. It's about understanding why outcome-only metrics distort behavior, make progress feel invisible, and turn the process into something you resent — even when it's working.Why you can be doing a lot right and still feel like you're failingHow externally defined success metrics warp motivation and behaviorThe parallels between chasing income goals and chasing body transformation goalsWhy focusing only on the end goal creates impatience, plan-hopping, and burnoutHow tunnel vision around outcomes leads people away from sustainable, health-promoting behaviorsWhy success is multi-dimensional — and what happens when you start measuring more than just the final resultWhat it actually means to “build foundations” and become the person who can sustain your goalsIf you've ever felt behind, frustrated, or like you're constantly starting over — this episode will help you see your journey more clearly and reframe what real progress looks like.If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to step out of the all-or-nothing cycle, I created a free guide to help you do exactly that:✨ The January Reset That Actually Sticks ✨This isn't a diet, a challenge, or an aggressive overhaul.

What if the most powerful communicators aren't the most polished ones? In this episode, Dia Bondi shares how watching a three-day communication skills class transformed her life. She had no resume to support her desire, but she made the ask that changed everything: "Will you apprentice me?" That mentor said yes, and 25 years later, she's still helping leaders speak powerfully from who they truly are. Dia's work goes beyond messaging to something deeper: helping clients articulate what they have to say before figuring out how to say it. She's coached VC-backed founders past Series B, VP-level executives, and even helped Rio de Janeiro win the right to host the 2016 Olympics (a $7 billion decision) without ever knowing who referred her. Dia reveals the six attributes of the most compelling communicators: they make the choice to be big in big moments, they know how to make strategic asks, they absolutely know their voice, they've got killer setups for their asks, they bridge their voice to the business really well, and they prep on purpose by actually talking through what they'll say.  She shares the story of a founder who created a 40-minute story to invite existing customers to help inform what gets built next. That task drove $10 million of value in the business. Dia also explains why the most powerful moment in her career might have been her first deal that included both cash and shares, because once she did it once, she now had the confidence and understanding to recreate it over and over again.   [00:08:20] The Ask That Changed My Life Watched three-day communication skills class about storytelling in business Had no resume to support desire to do that work Asked if he would apprentice her, and he did 25 years later still finds it compelling because it truly moves the needle for people [00:10:20] What You Have to Say vs. How to Say It Messaging is "how do I say it?" but Dia lives in the step before that "What is it that you have to say?" Until a leader can articulate things that feel innate but aren't obvious, can't create the message First articulate what you have to say, then figure out how best to express it [00:12:00] The 40-Minute Story Worth $10 Million Former client needed to invite existing customers to participate in informing product development Put together compelling story bridging what founder has to say with story of business Set up really killer ask, 40-minute story to set up that ask Client secured participation needed, will drive about $10 million of value in business [00:17:20] The First Deal With Shares Introduction to blockchain company working directly with founders First time setting up deal that included both cash and shares It paid off, and importantly gave confidence and understanding Once you do it first time, now have opportunity to do it over and over because it's in your radar [00:20:00] Helping Rio Win the Olympics bid Got a request over the internet: "We heard you're good, can you give us a call?" Turned out to be production team working on Rio's bid for 2016 Olympics $7 billion decision, got to work in those teeny tiny rooms where stories get crafted Still doesn't know who referred her, but knows what part of work it came from [00:24:40] Six Attributes of Powerful Communicators One: Make choice to be big in big moments (not about being polished or showboat) Two: Know how to make strategic asks and use asking strategically Three: Absolutely know their voice and can give good feedback to creative collaborators Four: Got killer setups for the asks they make of partners [00:27:20] The Last Two Attributes Five: Bridge their own voice to the business really well Six: Prep on purpose by actually talking through it, not just thinking about it One founder's pregame routine: end call, go downstairs, change shirt, wash face, drink water If he did that six times in day, he'd go through six shirts [00:30:00] Kevin's $16.1 Million Conversation 2003, owned cleaning and restoration company with website producing $15,000/month Mentor Joe Polish: "Come speak at event, document what you do into a course" Had never spoken publicly before, invested in Speaker's Bootcamp training Made $35,000 in course sales that day, but that wasn't the big win [00:32:40] The Real Big Win Over next 12 years sold $16.1 million worth of that course All because of one conversation: "Why don't you come down and speak?" Brought energy, joyfulness, willingness to share with generosity When you're invited, say yes   KEY QUOTES "I made the ask that changed my life. That gentleman brought me in and let me watch his class. I asked if he would apprentice me, and he did." - Dia Bondi "The most compelling communicators make the choice to be big in big moments. And that's never about being a showboat." - Dia Bondi CONNECT WITH DIA BONDI 

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul! In this episode, Michael John Cusick and Julianne Cusick dive deep into the world of intensive counseling, unpacking what makes Restoring the Soul's approach unique and transformative. You'll hear about the practical structure of their intensives—meeting with individuals and couples in three-hour blocks over one or two weeks—and what sets this method apart from traditional weekly counseling. They explore the importance of stepping away from daily life to create space for profound healing, the individualized attention each client receives, and the holistic integration of soul care, psychological expertise, and contemplative spiritual practices.Throughout their candid conversation, Michael shares stories of how Restoring the Soul began, while Julianne offers reflections on the power of holding sacred space for clients' stories. If you've ever wondered what intensive counseling really means, or how a focused, custom-tailored process can spark breakthroughs in just two weeks, this episode will give you clarity and inspiration.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Can a relationship really heal after infidelity—or does staying just mean learning how to live with the pain?In this relaunch episode of Choosing To Stay After Infidelity & Betrayal, we're slowing things down and getting honest about what healing actually requires. Whether you're the betrayed partner wondering if you'll ever feel safe again, or the partner who broke trust and wants to repair but doesn't know how, this episode is an invitation to step out of fear-based decisions and into clarity.Healing after infidelity isn't about going back to how things were. That relationship no longer exists. What's possible—if both partners are willing—is building something new with more honesty, awareness, and intention than before.This episode sets the foundation for the year ahead: grounded, trauma-informed conversations about trust repair, emotional regulation, accountability, and discernment—without rushing forgiveness, minimizing pain, or offering false hope.Join me at one of the Upcoming Betrayal Trauma Conferences: The Betrayal Healing Conference on January 26-30, 2026.

>> This series was first released in Nov/Dec 2019. We are re-releasing it now 6 years later as we are digging back in to document the collective impact of the series and to celebrate the work of those continuing to build the new grains movement. As part of this project we are collecting voice notes from anyone who listened, inviting you to share a bit of how Cereal impacted you and whether the series sparked any change or action, big or small - maybe it made you think differently about something, or maybe you completely changed career - we want to hear both and all stories! The voice notes will form part of a new Farmerama episode and digital soundmap. We are collecting these stories now, so if you would like to send your story our way, then you can send us an audio message on: WhatsApp +447466301300, or via our instagram messages. Please let us know who you are, where you are based and then whatever part of your story you would like to share. We are excited to hear from you! >> Intensive chemical (or conventional) farming systems can be incredibly efficient in perfect conditions, but in a global climate emergency this method of farming is out of date. We hear how soil health, biodiversity and regenerative farming are enabling farmers to move to a new system of farming that is nutritious for humans and the land. What is the experience of farmers growing the wheat, that's ground to flour, that makes our bread? We explore why farmers are moving away from intensive chemical systems to more ecological approaches, why farmers are reclaiming their autonomy, detaching themselves from exploitative commodity markets, re-building connections with seed breeders, millers, bakers, and consumers – and once again finding reasons to celebrate diversity and distinctiveness. The radical changes that bread has undergone are revealing of much wider truths about our relationships with food, to farmers, with the land, the environment, and with each other. If you eat food, you have a stake in this story.

#300 This episode is a little different. It's episode 300 of the podcast, and instead of teaching a new framework, I wanted to take a few minutes to explain why we created the Profitable Gym Intensive and who it's actually for. If you're a gym owner who wants more financial clarity, stronger systems, and a clear plan you can implement right away, this episode will help you decide if the event makes sense for you. No hype. No pressure. Just clarity. In this episode, I cover: Why we're keeping the Profitable Gym Intensive intentionally small The power of being in the same room with gym owners moving in the same direction Why there will be no selling from the stage What kind of financial clarity and systems you'll actually walk away with Why leaving with a Monday-ready plan matters more than more information If after listening this feels like a no-brainer, I'd love to have you there. If not, no worries at all — I'll keep putting out free content like always. Event Details: The Profitable Gym Intensive January 24, 2026 Orlando, FL Limited to 20–25 gym owners

This episode takes you inside the heart of an Intensive at Transformation Place and gives you a glimpse of what this unique experience is like. Here people confront the barriers holding them back, encounter God in deeply personal ways, and experience the kind of change they may have sought for years but struggled to find on their own. You'll hear five individuals who courageously share their own "God stories." Each one describes how the Intensive met them right where they were—whether stuck, hurting, confused, or hungry for more—and how God worked in ways they didn't expect. Their stories are honest, hopeful, and full of the kind of change only God can bring. This episode will encourage your heart and invite you to believe again in what God can do. And then you'll hear how you can be a part of the next man or woman's transformation story through your support. We can't do this without you!

5/8. Guano, Tragedy, and the Rise of Intensive Farming — Steven Moss — Moss discusses seabird guano (nutrient-rich droppings), first recognized as a valuable resource by the Incas and subsequently monetized by William Gibbs, who accumulated immense wealth trading guano from arid Peruvian islands. Moss emphasizes that guano harvesting occurred under tragic human conditions, with Chinese indentured laborers frequently dying during extraction operations. Mossnotes that declining guano availability stimulated the invention of synthetic fertilizers by Haber and Bosch, catalyzing the emergence of intensive chemical agriculture. Moss documents that high-intensity chemical farming, despite enabling global food production, precipitated catastrophic declines in bird and insect populations, a phenomenon extensively documented in Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. 1880

Many founders stay stuck in the space between yes and no, not because of timing, money, or strategy, but because of resistance disguised as logic. In this powerful solo episode, Jerome Myers speaks directly to high performers who feel called to their next chapter yet hesitate to move. He breaks down the most common objections founders use to delay meaningful growth and reveals the deeper fears beneath them—from the discomfort of pausing long enough to feel, to the fear of being truly seen without the armor of achievement.  Jerome also opens up about his own experience with the Founder's Exit Paradox and the identity unraveling that happens once success goes quiet. This episode serves as a mirror, a challenge, and an invitation to stop circling the life you want and begin stepping into it with clarity, alignment, and courage. [00:00–02:18] Sitting in the Gray Space Founders hesitate not because of time or money but because of quiet resistance Resistance dresses itself up as logic, busyness, and “reasonable” excuses The episode frames the work ahead: naming the fear so it stops running the show [02:19–04:45] The Five Surface Objections (and Their Real Meaning) “It's not the right time” really means, “I'm scared to slow down and feel” Busyness becomes a shield protecting founders from their inner truth Pretending everything is fine becomes exhausting — and unsustainable [04:46–07:02] The High Performer's Dilemma: “Will This Work for Me?” Strategy solves business problems, but it doesn't heal identity problems Founders fear inner work because it requires vulnerability The Intensive works differently than a playbook — it goes to the root [07:03–09:28] Trust, Fatigue, and the Fear of Hope “I need to talk to my advisor” often signals lack of self-trust “I need a break” reveals survival mode, not true rest The deeper fear is hoping for change and being disappointed again [09:29–12:32] The Founder's Exit Paradox Founders fear being seen without their achievements as armor Jerome shares his own unraveling after leaving his $20M division Success becomes identity — titles, applause, income, roles The question underneath everything: “Who am I without what I built?” [12:33–17:32] Choosing Your Next: The Real Invitation Speaking desires out loud dissolves guilt and activates clarityRemoving the founder mask leads to alignment, wholeness, and freedom Staying stuck is a decision — so is choosing your next chapter The Next Intensive becomes a turning point where founders finally feel alive again Key Quotes: “Vulnerability is not exposure.

AI as a Lifeline for US Energy and Russian Economic Collapse Guest: Michael Bernstein Michael Bernstein describes how artificial intelligence, which is highly electricity intensive, is providing a "lifeline" to US shale energy, especially natural gas production in Texas, by creating substantial new demand for power infrastructure. This new supply is also fundamentally transforming the European energy landscape, where Russian dominance has been eliminated. Simultaneously, sanctions are forcing major Russian companies like Rosneft and Lukoil into "fire sales" of assets outside Russia at steep discounts.
