I've had a version of the same conversation with a friend of mine for three months in a row. She comes to me with a plan. I give feedback. A month later, she comes back with basically the same plan again — and has no idea she's already been here.That's when I went looking for an explanation, and I found a study that stopped me in my tracks. It's about what happens to your brain when you let an AI do too much of your thinking for you — and it's a lot more common than you'd think, even among people who consider themselves "good" at using AI.This episode isn't about whether you should use AI. I use it constantly. It's about the difference between using it to execute and using it to think — and why that difference is quietly becoming the thing that separates businesses that are thriving right now from businesses that are just... busy.I'm sharing the study, the four things I don't think AI will ever be able to replace, and the one habit shift that's made the biggest difference in how I use AI in my own business.

You've probably already made a decision about your epidural. The problem? You made it before anyone walked you through what actually happens.In this episode, I'm breaking down the entire epidural process from the moment you say "I think I want it" to the moment we pull the catheter out after delivery - the timing, the placement, what it actually feels like, the side effects nobody mentions, and the questions I get asked most as a 16+ year L&D nurse. Whether you're planning to get one, planning to go unmedicated, or you're a "let's see how I feel" mama, this episode is for you. Because pain management is part of every birth map, and knowing what's coming means you make the decision from education - not fear.No horror stories. No agenda. Just what really happens in the labor room.In this episode:When you can actually ask for an epidural (and why timing isn't as simple as "too early" or "too late")What has to happen behind the scenes before the anesthesiologist walks inThe step-by-step placement process - and the one moment that actually hurtsCommon epidural side effects and how your nurse manages themWhat "recovery" looks like and why it's not the time for visitorsHow to know you're progressing once your epidural is inMore from this episode:Grab our free Third Trimester Birth Prep Bundle at labornursemama.com/third or comment "THIRD" on any Instagram post @labor.nurse.mama.Listen to episode 245: Epidural or Unmedicated?

Delivered by Vina Kuesal from the Holy Trinity Parish in the Archdiocese of Melbourne, Australia. Hosea 14: 2-10; Rs psalm 51: 3-4.8-9.12-13.14.17; Matthew 10: 16-23.PREPARE FOR THE RISK Our meditation today has the theme: Preparing for theRisk. There were two teenagers, brother and sister, who went shopping for theirschool bags. The sister who is older bought her bag that was cheaper, while heryounger brother bought his that was more expensive. The cheaper bag had pocketsfor keeping the tupperware water or food and other items such as umbrella andobjects for playing.                                        The more expensive bag looked beautiful in shape andcolor but did not have pockets for keeping the tupperware and umbrella. Thebrother realized the importance of the bag as his sister bought, so he returnedto the shop to change it with the same bag as his sister had. We see that thetwo teenagers really foresaw the risks they would face when they returned toschool in the beginning of the new school year. The risk for the Israelites described by the prophetHosea was the trouble they had to face as the consequence of their sins againstthe Lord. If they wished a renewal, a better and a new life, all they had to dowas to abandon their old life that was in the bondage of sins, then returned tosay words of regret and then repent in the face of God. That was a kind of riskwhich was easy to say or teach, but was difficult to put into practice. In today's Gospel, we see Jesus made a list of risksand dangers that already awaited His disciples who were sent on His behalf. Themost serious thing was that they must suffer all forms of persecution likeJesus Christ himself experienced. They were expected to always ready for anygiven situation even to experience the loss of their lives. Actually Jesus isconvincing us that the risk is very useful for our faithfulness in thefollowing of His call for all of us. This is the price of our being called andchosen by Him. So the nature of our motivation is actually spiritual. Prepare for the risk is different from fighting therisk. Prepare for the risk shows that someone is calm, optimistic, confidentand in good will for whatever risk  hewill face. If the risks are severe and unpredictable, he will face withenthusiasm and willingness. If the risk is small, he does not underestimate orrelax with it. Whereas fighting the risk is related to reaction and resistanceto the risks already noticed. It is here when clashes or conflicts can occurbetween the opposing parties. For us, preparation or vigilance is our priority. Thescriptures always advise us to always be alert and attentive to the signs fromGod because in front of us are many risks already awaiting. When we choose tohave faith in Jesus Christ and decide to live out with responsibility ourpersonal vocations, we must prepare for the risks. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, may we always beprepared and be aware of any risks we will face in the path of our mission toheed and fulfill Your call for each of us. Our Father who art in heaven... Inthe name of the Father ...

Every time you drive past a packed 7 Brew or a Raising Cane's with a line around the block, you probably wonder for about 30 seconds what that owner's life looks like. Is it printing money? Is it a nightmare? Is it something a regular person can actually do? Alex Smereczniak has owned franchises, helped hundreds of people buy them, and built a platform specifically to cut through the hype. He joins Joe and OG to answer the question honestly -- including the parts the sales pitch leaves out.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy franchising is not passive income -- especially in year one -- and what you're actually signing up for when you buy inThe single best reason to buy a franchise instead of starting your own business from scratch: you're starting three steps ahead of someone who goes it aloneWhat kind of return franchise owners actually expect -- and why it's two to four times higher than what most people get from index funds or rental real estateThe payback period question: how long should it take to get your money back, and when should that number make you walk awayHow to tell if a franchise is healthy or quietly falling apart -- without reading a 200-page legal documentWhy calling existing franchise owners is one of the most powerful things you can do before committing -- and exactly what to ask themThe Chick-fil-A exception: why the most famous franchise in America only costs $15,000 to buy in -- and why you're essentially purchasing a very well-paying jobThe green flag, yellow flag, red flag quiz: "I can keep my full-time job," "I'll break even in 12 months," "I don't need industry experience," "I can hire a manager and be hands-off"Why the business broker world is almost entirely unregulated -- and what that means for the advice you get from someone helping you pick a franchiseOG on the Bank of Mom and Dad headline: why helping your kids buy a house is a beautiful idea right up until the strings get attached -- and the one thing he says never to do regardless of who's askingWhy This Matters NowMost people who wonder about franchising never get past the wondering stage because the information is either all hype or completely overwhelming. This episode is the honest middle ground -- what it costs, what it pays, what it takes, and how to know if it's right for you.From the BasementAlex Smereczniak joins Joe and OG to pull back the curtain on franchise ownership -- from the weirdest franchise he's ever seen (crime scene cleanup, seven figures a year, great margins, and no, he still wouldn't do it) to why the first year will be harder than any brochure admits. The Wall Street Journal's story on parents buying homes for adult children gives OG a full platform to explain exactly where he draws the line -- and why the four-bedroom house with the pool and the eight-minute bike ride to dad's place raises questions he'd want answered over two bourbons on a back patio.Resources MentionedFranzy -- free franchise research and coaching platform; compare opportunities side by side and get one-on-one coaching at no cost; franzy.comGrind by the creator of Biggby Coffee -- recommended read on what franchise ownership actually requires before you sign anything; available wherever books are soldWall Street Journal -- "These Parents Are Buying Homes for Their Kids, With Strings Attached" by Rachel Wolff; linked at stackingbenjamins.comPower Plate Savers blog -- David's write-up of his first Twin Cities BAD group meetup; powerplatesavers.com; linked at stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins BAD Groups -- meetups in Twin Cities, Seattle, Boston, Tucson, and Southern Minnesota; stackingbenjamins.com/badStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201OG financial planning calendar -- stackingbenjamins.com/ogStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Amos 7: 10-17; Rs psalm 19: 8.9.10.11; Matthew 9: 1-8.TOTAL HEALING Our meditationtoday has the theme: Total Healing. There was a man known as a troublemaker inhis neighborhood. The people there were afraid of him. He was a drunkard and adrug user as well. Then he became a drug dealer whose actions were so brutal,especially towards someone who wanted to say or do something against him. Inshort, his mental state, moral values and faith have been very bad to allaround him. However, thepolice force finally succeeded in putting him down after a violence broke outin the city and he was noticed as the main figure who was the brain of theincident. Both of his legs were badly hit with two bullets sinking into themand he was almost completely paralyzed. In the end he had to spend days, monthsand years in prison. His neighborhood became safe and peaceful without him. Now there was areligious person who came to visit him regularly and that man was able toreceive proper spiritual accompaniment and formation. This man then acquired alot of spiritual experience and moral guidance during his life in prison. Allthese helps have benefitted him to have a new outlook from which he could begina new life. The change gradually occurred in him. When his term in prisonfinished and he was back to his family, he was truly a new person. He lookedfresh and healthy. His words and deeds, his way of understanding and behavingpleased everybody. His thought about life was open and full of wisdom. Hisfaith grew again. That man'sexperience is an example of a total healing. This type of healing is what JesusChrist wants to occur in us, which includes the aspects of physical, mental,social and spiritual growth. At that particular moment of His ministry, Jesusknew that the paralytic man was also a sinner so what He treated first in thatman was to cast out his sins by forgiving him. After that Jesus mended him fromhis physical sickness, then healed also his mind and soul. Many of us wantto be cured only partially, not wanting a total healing. Maybe we are justlooking for a certain physical or mental healing which is already sufficientfor us. A person may have recovered from stress and disappointment, but he orshe still has anger and a plan of revenge to the one who has disappointed himor her. People may feel comfortable after receiving the Sacrament ofReconciliation, but they do not regret their sins, thus they easily fall intothe same sins. All these indicate what we call the half recovery. This meansthat we are still sick. We need to point out certain parts of ourselves that have not yetbeen healed because we have not paid attention to healing. Those parts arelikely to be the barriers for making a total healing in ourselves. We need togive attention to this in order to obtain a complete recovery. Let us pray ... Inthe name of the Father ... O most holy Father, look upon us and heal us,especially the parts within us that have not been healed, because we tend toavoid being healed. Please grant us your grace of healing. Our Father who artin heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

The most powerful man on the planet is eighty, bruised, posting in the dozens at 3 a.m., and nodding off by the afternoon. His Secretary of State looked at a video of him asleep and told Congress he was awake. Thirty-six doctors signed a warning into the Congressional Record and nothing happened.

Delivered by Celine from the Parish of Santo Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 2 Kings 11: 1-4.9-18.20; Rs psalm 132: 11-12.13-14.17-18; Matthew 6: 19-23.HEART'S DIRECTION The theme for our meditation today is: Heart's Direction.Miracles that happen in our lives cannot be separated from our prayers. Webenefit goodness and comfort to our bodies and souls because we have intendedto pray for them. Through prayers and relationship with God, we truly enjoy thedirection or orientation of our hearts to God. A prayer made without beingdirected from the heart, mind, and love of God will surely be a misleading and empty prayer. A prayer needs time, place and situation that constituteits support system. However, the way or direction of heart is a fundamentalelement that signify the quality of our prayer. A direction of heart can goanywhere following each one's desire. We commonly know that our attentioneasily leads our hearts to the wealth of the world. For example, there is ayoung man so obsessed with the Soccer World Cup that is going on this month of June. Whenhe was attending the holy Mass last Sunday, all his attention went to the playof his favorite team which he so expected to win. The Holy Mass was actuallymeaningless to him at that time. This is truly an example of the direction of the heart toGod. Our heart can easily change its direction to events and pleasures of thisworld. Today, the Word of God reminds us that the wealth and things of theworld often become the serious threats to the peace of our minds and hearts. Wewill be easily carried away and consumed by the desire to continue seeking,obtaining and having them. Many of us think that once we have those wealth, wewill be in peace and happinessof life. Jesus always says that this way of life is foolishness andenslavement. Actually, we need possessions, money, and various interests ofthis world, but they should not block our heart's direction to God. All ourpossessions in the world will not accompany us after our death. Whereas, theheavenly richness must attract all our attention and direction. In today'sproclamation of the Word, God wants to open our hearts, minds and wills toacquire as many as possible the heavenly treasures. Our heavenly treasures cannot be put in a bank like moneyand other treasures of the world. Anything can happen to the bank and thosetreasures would be lost. However, the heavenly treasures such as spirituallife, relationship with God, heavenly wisdom, spirit of service and love thatbelong to the Kingdom of God, will not be lost. They are the treasures thatwill accompany us after our death. If you were asked: where is your treasure?Or where is the direction of your heart? As a follower of Christ, your answershould be this one: the heavenly treasures. The event of the destruction ofBaal's power told in the first reading today strengthens our belief that thekingdom of God that stands steadyand strongin the world must be able to maintain our heavenly richness in the world. Let'spray. In the name of the Father... Almighty God, may our hearts always turn toYou and finally rest in You forever and ever. Hail Mary, full of grace... Inthe name of the Father...

Delivered by Ariel from the Parish of Saint Albert the Great in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 2 Kings 2: 1.6-14; Rs psalm 31: 20.21.24; Matthew 6: 1-6.16-18.THE BURDEN OF HYPOCRICY The theme for our meditation today is: The burden ofHypocrisy. There is a boy of grade 3 elementary school named Prima. He has ayounger sister of 5 years old. His mother once asked Prima to look after hersister who was practicing bicycle. Prima said that he loved so much his sisterand was ready to look after her especially when she tried hard with thebicycle. However, after making promiseto his mother Prima did not look after of his sister, he instead went to playwith his friends. His sister was left alone with much difficultypracticing in which she fell several times. Then the mother reprimanded herfirst son Prima: "Prima, if you have promised to take care of your littlesister, but obviously you haven't, that's a hypocrisy. You lied to your mother,your sister, and God." Only at that time Prima for the first timeunderstood the word "hypocrisy". He then promised not anymore doingsuch thing. Today the Lord Jesus gives us a strong warning not tobe like the hypocrites. A hypocrite is a liar. They always look good and sayyes, but their actions are just the opposite. They actually bear a burden thatis not easy. Their main burden is that they always wear masks. They hide theirtrue selves, while what they show to people are their different persons. There are three points we can ponder today about theburden of hypocrisy. When we pray, we must be able to avoid the burden, whichis to receive praise and respect from others that we are prayerful people. LetGod alone know that we truly love Him. We do not need to give attention towhat people say that we pray frequently, we regularly attending the Eucharist,and we always read the scriptures etc. With regards to giving attention and helping others,let God alone know that we practice the love that He teaches us to do. We don'tneed to preach anywhere about this. The focus of our attention is the personbeing helped, because that is where love speaks and acts. The burden ofacknowledgment of others or the news announced about it are not our focus ofattention. In the case of fasting, we must also be able to avoidthe burden, namely recognition and respect from others. Let God alone know thatwe are serving Him through our acts of fasting. There is no point at all for usthat other people come to know about our fasting then making news of it,because they do not experience the meaning of fasting. We ourselves experienceit and benefit from it. If we are to avoid ourselves from the burdens ofhypocrisy, one important advice is that we should be true and sincere believersand the followers of Christ. God knows us one by one better than we ourselves,therefore, hypocrisy is only a useless burden for us.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, help us to always livein sincerity and truth that come from you. Our Father who art in heaven ... Inthe name of the Father ...

What happens when you finally achieve the goals you spent years chasing—only to discover the satisfaction never arrives?In this deeply personal episode, Kellan explores the hidden ache that many high achievers experience after reaching success. The promotion comes. The money arrives. The recognition grows. Yet something still feels missing.Kellan argues that the problem isn't a lack of achievement, strategy, discipline, or optimization. The real issue is spiritual malnourishment. When we spend our lives feeding our bodies, careers, reputations, and bank accounts while neglecting the deepest part of ourselves, success can become nothing more than polishing an empty tomb.If you've ever felt restless after accomplishing something important, this conversation offers a powerful framework for understanding why—and what to do about it.Key Takeaways:Why achievement often fails to create lasting fulfillmentThe difference between material success and spiritual nourishmentThe hidden ache beneath outward accomplishmentWhy high achievers frequently feel something is missingThe danger of living from the outside inThe role of truth, love, forgiveness, and stillnessWhy success cannot answer spiritual questionsThe importance of feeding the spirit before the bodyLeadership, relationships, and purpose through a spiritual lensHow to build a life rooted in peace, purpose, prosperity, and joy

In this episode, I explore the gut–brain connection from a completely different angle than most conversations you've probably heard.Yes, gut health matters. Yes, inflammation, dysbiosis, and digestion are important.But I also want to expand your awareness beyond food alone — because your internal state is influenced by much more than what you eat.1. Your Diet Is More Than FoodWhen I talk about “diet,” I'm not only talking about nutrition.Your diet also includes:What you watchWhat you listen toThe environments you stay inThe conversations you engage inThe people around youAnd the voice in your headAll of this becomes input into your system.So when we talk about gut health, we can't ignore the emotional, mental, and environmental inputs that are constantly shaping your internal state.2. The Gut–Brain Communication LoopYour gut and brain are in constant communication through the nervous system — especially through pathways like the vagus nerve.What I want you to understand is this:Your thoughts are not separate from your physiology.A thought can shift your internal chemistry, and your internal chemistry can reinforce your thoughts.It's a loop.3. Triggers Start the Entire Chain ReactionA trigger is anything picked up through your five senses:What you seeWhat you hearWhat you smellWhat you tasteWhat you physically feelWhen a trigger connects with a stored emotional memory, it creates a thought automatically.Most of the time, this happens without conscious awareness.4. Thought → Emotion → Body ResponseEvery thought creates a chemical response in the brain, which then influences how the body responds.That means:Thoughts of fear can shift the body into protection modeThoughts of safety can support digestion and regulationRepeated thought patterns create repeated body responsesOver time, these patterns become automatic loops.5. Conditioned Eating and Emotional LoopsMany cravings are not just about food — they are learned associations.For example:Certain foods linked to comfort in childhoodEating used as emotional regulationSmells or tastes triggering safety memoriesThese patterns are not random. They are conditioned responses your nervous system has learned over time.6. Digestion Follows State, Not Just FoodOne of the most important things I want you to understand is this:Your digestive system responds to your internal state.When the body is in stress or protection mode, digestion is not prioritized.When the body feels safe and regulated, digestion and metabolic processes function more efficiently.7. The Real Shift: Awareness Over ControlInstead of only asking:“What should I eat?”Start asking:“What is my system responding to right now?”“What triggered this shift in me?”“What pattern am I repeating unconsciously?”This is where real change begins — not in restriction, but in awareness.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Most companies that need an ergonomic assessment don't know they need one. They've bought new chairs. They've done the wellness training. They've put up the stretch posters. And people are still hurting. So they conclude that ergonomics doesn't work, when the real problem is that they've been buying solutions without ever diagnosing the actual problem.In this episode, we break down 5 clear, observable signs that a workplace needs a proper ergonomic assessment and why recognizing these signs is one of the most powerful tools an ergonomics consultant has for starting a real client conversation. We unpack the research behind why comprehensive ergonomic intervention outperforms equipment-only and training-only approaches, what each sign is actually telling you about the underlying problem, and how to use this framework in your marketing, your proposals, and your very first conversation with a prospective client.In this episode:Why buying new equipment without an assessment almost never solves the problem and what the research says about equipment-only interventionsThe 'improvised fixes' signal: why cardboard boxes under monitors are a diagnostic finding, not just a quirky habitWhy cross-departmental complaints are the red flag that changes the conversation from 'individual problem' to 'systemic issue'Why 'we don't know what's causing it' is the single most expensive position a company can be inThe 40% reduction finding  and how to present comprehensive assessment ROI to a client who's already tried 'fixing it' on their ownWhether you're a new ergonomics consultant building your client base or an experienced practitioner looking for sharper language to open doors, this episode gives you a framework you can use in your next sales conversation this week.If you're a healthcare professional and this episode got your wheels turning about office ergonomics - good.

Conflicts in relationship — where your assumptions are the invisible thing running every hard conversation you have.In this episode, Georgianna and Steph walk through the conscious and unconscious assumptions we bring into hard conversations — the ones that decide the outcome before the conversation starts. Georgianna shares the prompt she uses with couples to surface what's actually underneath, and walks through her four-category framework: assumptions about yourself, about your partner, about the situation, and about relationships. Steph names the patterns that show up when desperate attachment runs the room — including her own history of trying to get a therapist to fix her partner instead of getting curious about herself.They also work a live somatic practice on air: noticing an unhelpful assumption, feeling it in the body, then choosing a more helpful one and noticing what shifts. The whole practice takes under two minutes. The point is to grow the muscle before you need it — because the nervous system only reaches for what it's already practiced.What You'll Learn:Why "not actively yelling" and "regulated enough to talk" are not the same — and how to tell the differenceThe four categories of assumptions every conflict conversation carries (and prompts to surface them)How your body knows your assumptions before your mind does, and how to tap inThe difference between claiming you're curious and actually being curious — and the physical anchor that closes the gapHow to assume good intentions with discernmentA two-minute somatic practice you can use before any hard conversationResources Mentioned:Somatic Integration Sessions — twice-monthly live body-based practices, where this work happens in communityConscious Relationship Training (CRT) — our 10-week live cohort training, twice yearly. Where you practice this with real activation and real people.The Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit — for self-paced, self-led practiceIf you're tired of having the same conversation over and over again, this episode is a way through the invisible layer that's causing the problem — plus what to do instead.Keywords: conscious relationship podcast, relational patterns, inner work podcast, somatic shadow work, nervous system regulation, conflict in relationships

There are seasons for steady, daily effort — and then there are moments when incremental progress just makes things worse. This week I'm talking about something that surprised even me: the idea that sometimes, the most useful thing isn't a small step. It's a big one.The Garage, the Trees, and the Difference That MattersI cleaned my garage this weekend. And planted a tree garden. Both projects taught me something different about momentum — and when crossing the threshold into "just finish it" is actually the right call.Gardens vs. Demolition ProjectsNot every challenge in life responds to the same approach. Building a habit, growing a marriage, developing your finances — these are gardens. They need consistent tending over time, not a dramatic push. But cleaning out a neglected room, making a decision you've been sitting on for two years, or finally addressing a health issue? Those are demolition projects. They need force and commitment.Building vs. ClearingAsk yourself: am I building something, or am I clearing something? Building almost always works through small steps — strength, relationships, discipline, creative practice. But clearing often needs a different gear entirely. And when you nibble at a clearing project slowly, you stay emotionally attached to the old system and never fully cross over.The Two Big MistakesThe first: trying to Big Bang something that actually needs consistency. January 1st energy applied to the wrong kind of project exhausts you fast. The second (sneakier): using small steps to avoid transformation altogether. Researching, planning, organizing bins — it feels like motion, but it's avoidance. Ask yourself honestly: am I moving forward, or circling the drain?What Nature Shows UsGrowth in nature is rarely gradual and visible. The trees look dead for weeks in late April — and then overnight, everything is green. Birds migrate in a burst, not a slow fade. A caterpillar doesn't gradually become a butterfly; it dissolves and emerges something completely new. Life contains both slow formation and sudden transformation.Reading the Season You're InThe wisdom isn't in choosing one philosophy and sticking to it forever. It's learning to read the moment. Some seasons call for faithfulness and daily showing up. Others call for a shovel, a weekend, and a decision not to stop. Both approaches are gifts. Small steps help us begin. Big bangs help us cross the threshold.If something on your list has been "in progress" for longer than makes sense — ask yourself if you've been treating a demolition project like a garden. The answer might change your whole Saturday.You can reach me at jill@startwithsmallsteps.com or find everything I do at jillfromthenorthwoods.com.Timestamps0:00 Introduction3:18 Gardens vs. demolition projects6:39 Building vs. clearing — two different workflows9:12 Mistake #1 — Big Banging things that need consistency10:19 Mistake #2 — Using small steps to avoid change14:30 Why the Big Bang creates clarity16:03 What nature teaches us about sudden transformation21:56 Closing thoughtsJill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

In Episode 231 of The Killer Point Of View Podcast with guest Melissa (Slasherqueen66), we step into two completely different vampire worlds with Daybreakers and Underworld. One gives us a dystopian future where vampires dominate society through corporate control and blood dependency, while the other throws us into a gothic war between vampires and Lycans hidden beneath the modern world.This week, we discuss our killer perspectives on both films and break down what makes each vampire universe so memorable. Which film has the stronger vampire mythology? Which world feels more believable? And which movie absolutely nailed the vampire aesthetic, the cold futuristic world of Daybreakers or the dark leather and moonlight gothic style of Underworld?We also discuss:Favorite scenes from each filmWhich vampire society we'd rather live inThe deeper meanings behind both storiesThe evolution of vampires in 2000s horrorOur final ratings for each filmMelissa's IG - https://www.instagram.com/slasherqueen66?igsh=MXBhbzgyNHU4Nzhzbg==The Killer Point Of View Network IG - https://www.instagram.com/thekillerpointofviewnetwork?igsh=YmUwcHl6enBlM3Rl&utm_source=qrJoe's IG - https://www.instagram.com/mr.averagejoe89?igsh=MXR0YXFkNnZyZTBlbw==Blake's IG - https://www.instagram.com/blakenandeggs_horror?igsh=b2tlMGxwMm8yOTRy

We need the fire of God now more than ever!As we gear up for this Convention (starts this week: May 21-24), we are preparing our hearts for Pentecost and to receive what God has planned for us.In the first Pentecost on Mount Sinai and in Acts 2 on the Temple Mount, the Spirit of God showed up as fire! Actually, all throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as an all-consuming fire. The Busses share a powerful sermon Sharon preached last year that will help you understand what the fire of God is all about and why you need to be baptized in it in these last days. Now is the time to invite the Father to send the fire, burn up anything that's not of Him, and set you ablaze so you can help Him set the world on fire with the light of His life.

Todaywe are focusing on verse 2 of Psalm 15, where David is answering the questionhe asked in verse 1: “LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwellin Your holy hill?” In other words, who is able to experience and enjoycontinuous intimate communion and fellowship with the LORD God Almighty? Thenhe answers the question in verse 2: “He who walks uprightly, and worksrighteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.” First,we are walking uprightly, and we are working righteousness. We are doing rightthings. We are thinking about right things. Then David says something sopowerful, and I believe it is literally key to our walk in the Christian life: “Andspeaks the truth in his heart.” To experience true fellowship with theLORD, it is essential that we not only thinks about truth, and not only hastruth in our heart, but that we speaks the truth. We walk and live in thattruth. Thatis why in Second, and Third John—those books where John is writing tobelievers—he says that one of his greatest joys is to hear that his childrenwalk in the truth. Now what does this mean: “speaks the truth in his heart”? Asa matter of fact, in Psalm 51, where David is repenting of his terrible sin ofadultery and murder, he says this in verse 6: “Behold, You desire truth inthe inward parts.” Godwants us to think about the truth, talk about the truth, listen to the truth,and let the truth guide our decisions. You see, I am convinced the battle ofthe ages is the lie versus the truth—the lie versus the truth. I have oftenthought that when people come and say, “Pastor Mike, what should I do aboutthis?” or “I'm having a problem and I don't know how to handle this,” one of mymain objectives as I sit there, listen to them, and begin to share counsel issimply this: I need to tell them the truth—the truth that comes from the Wordof God. The reason they are confused or in trouble is because they have been listeningto, and “speaking” the lie in their mind and heart. RememberGod's Word is Truth. Jesus said in John 17:17: “Sanctify them through Thytruth. Thy word is truth.” Not only that, remember Pilate asked thequestion in John chapter 18:38: “What is truth?” Interestingly, justbefore Pilate asked that question, Jesus had said: “For this cause I wasborn, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witnessto the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Then Pilateasked the question, “What is truth?”—while Truth Himself was standingright in front of him, and he was missing it. Myfriend, Jesus is truth. John 14:6 says: “I am the way, the truth, and thelife. No man comes to the Father but by Me.” On the other hand, the devilis a liar. In John 8:44, Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil, andthe lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, andabode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie,he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Inthe very beginning, Satan lied to Eve. We are either believing the lies of theevil one as we make choices and decisions in life, or we are listening to thetruth of God's Word. That is why we must let mercy and truth come into ourhearts. Proverbs 3:3 tells us: “Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bindthem around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, our hearts.” Becauseas we listen to the truth, speak the truth in our hearts, and make ourdecisions based on truth rather than the lies of the evil one, my friend, itmakes all the difference in the world in our daily walk. That is why John wouldsay to those precious disciples in Second and Third John: “I rejoicedgreatly that I found thy children walking in truth.” We walk uprightly. We workrighteousness. And we speak the truth in our hearts—in our innermost being. Welet that truth live within us. Are you letting that truth live in you today? Itrust you are. 

What happens when a hairstylist gets tired of feeling tied down — and decides to do something about it? Leisha did not just change her schedule. She sold her house, moved into an RV with her husband, two dogs, and a cat, drove to a city where she knew nobody, and started walking into salons with a stack of papers and an idea nobody had ever heard of. That idea? Traveling Hairstylist — a first-of-its-kind service where stylists can hire a professional to come to their space, care for their clients, and cover 100% of their booth rent while they're on maternity leave, medical leave, or any extended time away. Coast to coast, all 50 states, with a team of five (soon to be seven) and a near-perfect client retention rate.In this episode, Misty sits down with Leisha, the founder of Traveling Hairstylist, and they go deep on what it actually looks like to start something that does not exist yet — the fear, the first salon door she walked into, the moment it finally clicked, and why she believes the beauty industry is the most creative space to build something that is entirely your own. In this episode, you will learn:How Leisha combined her love of travel with a real gap she saw in the industry — and why those two things colliding changed everythingWhat it actually looked like to launch with zero clients, zero connections, and one Instagram post in a city she had never lived inThe honest breakdown of how Traveling Hairstylist works financially — what stylists keep, what Leisha's team covers, and why it is structured the way it isWhy suite stylists are especially vulnerable during a leave — and what most salon companies still are not doing to support themHow Leisha thinks about team building, contracts, and what it means to run a business that is also a love letter to the industryWhat happened when she finally got a "yes" after two weeks of walking into salons and getting told noThe mindset that kept her going when the idea was still just hers — and why she believes when something really calls to you, it is embedded in youConnect with Leisha + Traveling Hairstylist:Instagram: @‌thetraveling.hairstylistWebsite: The Traveling Hairstylisthairstylist podcast, salon owner podcast, hairstylist personal development, beauty industry business podcast, hairstylist leave coverage

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering?How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical?

Most people want an extraordinary life… while offering ordinary effort.That's the disconnect.In this episode, Kellan Fluckiger dismantles the illusion that you can receive excellence from life while giving it mediocrity in return. If you're stuck, frustrated, or feeling like life isn't delivering—this is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.This conversation is a powerful continuation of the journey from the swamp to the meadow—a shift from learned helplessness and victim mindset into fierce life ownership, radical excellence, and a deep passion for service.You'll discover why excellence isn't about perfection or performance—but about integrity, coherence, discipline, and the courage to go all in.If you've been playing small, cutting corners, or waiting for the world to change first… this episode will challenge you to become the standard.Key Takeaways:The difference between mediocrity and radical excellenceWhy most people resist going all inThe hidden cost of cutting corners and breaking promises to yourselfWhat true excellence actually means (beyond performance and appearances)The concept of coherence: aligning your words, values, and actionsWhy discipline—not talent—is the price of excellenceHow fear of judgment keeps people stuck in mediocrityThe connection between radical excellence and inner peaceWhy service is a natural result of growth and transformationHow living in the “meadow” creates purpose, prosperity, and joyThe leadership responsibility to embody—not perform—excellence

If you've ever had a homeowner act standoffish or hover over you while you work—it's not about you. By the time you showed up, they already said yes.When that phone rings, it means they've hit an emotional tipping point. To get to that call, they had to overcome social anxiety, invite a stranger into their home, and take a risk. By the time you pull up, they've already been through an emotional journey. Your job isn't to convince them—it's to honor the courage it took for them to call.In this episode, Sam Wakefield breaks down why the first five minutes make or break everything, and how to shift from treating homeowners like transactions to seeing them as people who took a risk by trusting you.In This Episode:Why the appointment starts when they realized they had a problem—not when you walk inThe social anxiety homeowners overcome just to pick up the phoneWhat's going through their mind when you pull up (felons, theft, damage, mess)The first 5 minutes: exact language for phone, walk-up, and in-homeHow to honor the tipping point instead of treating it like just another jobWork with Sam / Join the Close It Now Movement:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netCoaching & Training: https://www.closeitnow.net/coachingFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowEmail: sam@closeitnow.netNew Group Coaching Program:Starting April 2026 - Pods of 5 for 6 months.

Bestie… some agents are losing referrals and don't even realize they messed it up.In this episode, I'm sharing two real stories: • One agent who completely fumbled a listing opportunity • And one blind referral that turned into a six-figure opportunityThe difference? Reputation, follow-up, and client experience.We're talking about:Why your name is already being spoken in rooms you're not inThe prayer I started praying over my businessHow agents quietly lose referrals through silence and poor communicationWhat “fumbling the bag” actually looks like in real estateThe framework that keeps referrals coming on repeatIf you want a referral-based real estate business, you can't rely on luck. You need faith and systems.And yes… we're talking about both.✨ The Prayer: “Lord, let my name be spoken in rooms I'm not in. And give me the courage and discipline to honor that opportunity.”If you're serious about building a business by design instead of by accident, this one is for you.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE
