In this episode, you'll meet the esteemed Dr Susan Payrovi and Dr Teri Jaklin as they invite you to our new podcast collaboration: How Doctors Heal.

Our study of Ephesians continues in chapter four as we explore verses 25-32 and unpack Paul's call to live like we've truly been saved. This isn't a message of shame or a list of impossible obligations; it's an invitation to a higher standard. We discuss what it means to take off the old self, putting away deception, falsehood, and corrupting talk, and actively put on the new self. In this episode, we dive into what it looks like to speak the truth in love, handle anger without giving ground to the enemy, and examine the speech we put on display. We also discuss the freedom found in surrender and biblical forgiveness, exploring how reflecting on how much God has forgiven us frees us from bitterness and shifts our hearts to extend grace to others.EPISODE LINKSDust to Dust, by Jen WilkinWHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

Summary In this episode of Grit, Grace & Glitz, Erika Rothenberger sits down with leadership performance coach and TEDx speaker Angelica Ventrice to explore what she calls The Identity Trap, the invisible beliefs and labels we've carried since childhood that quietly shape our lives, careers, relationships, and success. Angelica shares her deeply personal journey from building a successful seven-figure health coaching business to realizing that success without alignment can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Together, Erika and Angelica discuss people-pleasing, perfectionism, grief, burnout, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and the courage it takes to reinvent yourself. If you've ever felt stuck being the version of yourself everyone expects, this conversation is your reminder that growth isn't about becoming someone new, it's about returning to who you've always been. In This Episode, You'll Learn What the Identity Trap is and how it begins in childhood. Why success can sometimes keep you stuck instead of fulfilled. The four stages of identity transformation: awareness, acceptance, embodiment, and mastery. How people-pleasing and perfectionism become hidden identities. Why reinvention is necessary for living in alignment. How grief transformed Angelica's leadership and coaching. The connection between your nervous system, burnout, and high achievement. Small daily habits that create lasting personal transformation. Why saying "No" is a complete sentence. How to recognize a full-body yes versus an out-of-alignment decision. Episode Timeline 02:14 Defining the identity trap and its origins 04:03 Angelica's personal story and breakthrough moments 06:12 The four phases of identity transformation 08:55 Practical habits for mental and physical well-being 12:01 The importance of vulnerability and authenticity 14:55 Handling setbacks and setbacks as growth opportunities 18:08 The power of self-awareness and body connection 20:50 Invitation to the upcoming summit and community engagement Where to Find Angelica: Website: https://www.angelicaventrice.com/ IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelica-ventrice/ IG: https:https://www.instagram.com/theangelicaventrice/ Connect with your host, Erika: LinkedIn (primary) https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikarothenberger IG https://www.instagram.com/erikalearothenberger?igsh=MmhjeTRhbnB1aXM2 FB https://www.facebook.com/share/69wqEYVzFKKnci9u/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Learn more about your ad choices.

George talks with UK-based voiceover engineer and demo producer Henry Willard about the rise of virtual engineering and why more actors are bringing their own engineers into remote directed sessions. Henry explains how having someone handle recording, playback, timing, and client requests can free the actor to stay where they belong: in the performance. They also explore Henry's approach to creating authentic commercial demos, why overproducing auditions can backfire, the never-ending battle with mouth noise, common home-studio mistakes, and the realities of producing audiobooks by hand in an increasingly automated world. And because two audio engineers can only behave themselves for so long, there's plenty of talk about Pro Tools, headphones, plugins, noise reduction, Macs vs. PCs, and keeping your processing chain simple.

In this message, Pastor Josh explores the joyful invitation to come and feast at the banquet in the kingdom of God. Our excuses reveal what we love and what we prioritize. Following Jesus requires surrendering all other pursuits and priorities. The parable of the great banquet illustrates these key themes, emphasizing the readiness and abundance of the feast, the revealing nature of our excuses, and the sacrificial cost of discipleship.TakeawaysThe Joyful Invitation: Jesus extends a joyful invitation to come and feast at the banquet in the kingdom of God, emphasizing the readiness and abundance of the feast.Excuses Reveal Loves: Our excuses reveal our priorities, loves, and what we believe we cannot live without, exposing the idols in our lives.The Cost of Following Jesus: Following Jesus will cost us everything, and the decision to follow Him requires surrendering all other priorities and pursuits.Recorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.#joshThompson #parable #banquet #invitation #everyone #excuse #idols #loves #expose #priorities

You know the moment. Someone you love says something real, the door cracks open for a deeper conversation, and you can almost feel the opportunity sitting there. You want to point them to God's Word, you want to lead well, and then your mind goes blank because you're not sure where to begin.We talk honestly about that hesitation and why it usually isn't a heart problem. It's a starting point problem. I share why Family Disciple Me was created and how simple, meaningful, intentional Bible conversations can happen without pressure or perfect phrasing. Discipleship doesn't require you to have all the answers. It requires willingness, attention, and a next step.Psalm 32:8 anchors the whole approach with God's promise to instruct, teach, and counsel us personally. When we trust that we're being led, we can lead someone else with humility and confidence. From there we get practical with a repeatable rhythm for Christian discipleship and family discipleship: listen to God through Scripture, linger with Him in prayer and reflection, then lead by inviting someone else into what you're already learning.If you've been looking for a realistic way to disciple your kids, mentor a friend, or grow as a spiritual leader at home, this is a clear place to start.

The eclipse may have passed, but that doesn't mean the experience is complete.This week's invitation is about integration.As we move deeper into Virgo season, we're shifting from what was revealed, released, or disrupted into something much more grounded:What are you tending now?Not fixing.Not forcing.Not rushing to make meaning out of everything.Tending.In this episode, I invite you to notice what is asking for your care, attention, and presence after eclipse season.

In this sermon, Pastor Scott preaches from John 3:16. God's greatest invitation to us is a love, intimate relationship with Him. We take a look at two stories in the Bible where we see this truth played out: the story of Nicodemus and the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Through their stories, we learn that no matter who you are, what you've done, or where you came from, the God of the universe wants a relationship with you! Check out this sermon to learn more!

Send me a Text Message!This is the last message in our Life Refreshed, summer in the Psalms series. It was given for a weekend of celebration. But at it's heart it is an invitation to join the story of God, a God whose greatness goes beyond imagination and whose greatness is matched in abundance by His goodness. And how do we join the story of God? Well that's why you need to listen. :)

Pastor Jacob continues the Invitation to Joy series with a message on Philippians 3 and what it actually means to be a citizen of heaven. Writing from a Roman prison to a Roman colony, Paul told the Philippians to stop living like they belonged somewhere they didn't. That same challenge applies to us, too. Your citizenship isn't a future promise you cash in when you die; it's a present reality that reshapes your appetites, your loyalty, and your Monday morning. Whatever you feed becomes your god, so what are you really hungry for?This message unpacks the "already but not yet" kingdom of God, why escapism theology misses the point of the resurrection, and three practical marks of a heavenly citizen.0:00 Which World Are You a Citizen Of?2:16 Paul, Prison, and the Roman Colony4:38 Following Jesus Should Change You6:18 Enemies of the Cross8:21 Already, Not Yet: The Kingdom Is Here12:07 Whatever You Feed Becomes Your God15:32 Resurrection Is Renewal, Not Escape18:08 Your Appetites Change21:47 Your Loyalty Is Visible23:20 Daily Choosing to Remember26:55 Don't Do It Alone28:34 Closing PrayerPreached by Jacob Gaines on August 30, 2026 at Local Vineyard Church.Watch the video and find more at https://localvineyard.church/messages/an-invitation-to-joy/citizen-of-heaven-or-notSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

What do you want that only God can do?Throughout Scripture, God gives us an extraordinary invitation: "Ask of Me". Think about what that means—the God who possesses all things invites you to bring Him something from your own heart, giving you the opportunity to custom-build a way for Him to love on you. A personal desire. A personal answer. A personal display of His power and favor in your life.What does that invitation reveal about how God sees you? And what could happen if you truly believed that His favor toward you is already there?In this episode, we explore the powerful meaning behind the words “Ask of Me.” Listen and discover how this simple invitation reveals just how personal God's love is—and just how special you are to Him.

What if our obedience is not about earning God's salvation, but extending God's invitation to the world?

The Greatest Invitation You Will Ever Receive (Matthew 11:20-30) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove

A conversation about meeting one another's 'falling apart', the cultural pressure to stay buttoned up, the fertile potential hidden inside our moments of undoing, and what it means to be a person who can welcome and hold space for another's becoming rather than trying to put the lid back on. How genuine care for another might involve staying faithful to the life inside them, which is something deeper than their current circumstances, their current identity, or the version of them we first fell in love with.This week is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

It represents each of us, moving through life searching for happiness, struggling with disappointment, and continually hoping the next experience will finally satisfy us.The other bird simply waits.This is Paramātmā—the Supreme Soul, accompanying us within the heart, patiently waiting for us to turn toward Him.In this fifth talk from The Bhagavad-gita — A Guide for Life, we move beyond the question “Who am I?” to another profound question:“Who is God—and what is my relationship with Him?”The Vedic teachings describe three features of the one Absolute Truth: Brahman, the all-pervading spiritual reality; Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul accompanying every living being; and Bhagavān, the Supreme Person—the ultimate object of love.And at the heart of these teachings is Krishna.The Bhagavad-gita presents Krishna not as a distant God disconnected from our lives, but as the source of both the material and spiritual energies—and the eternal friend of every living being.We may experience loneliness even while surrounded by people. We may continually search for someone or something that will make us feel complete.But perhaps part of that longing comes from having forgotten our deepest relationship.The spiritual journey is therefore not simply about discovering what we are.It is about discovering Whom we belong with.And remembrance of Krishna doesn't have to be confined to meditation, temples or religious rituals.Krishna says: “I am the taste of water.”Even something as simple as drinking a glass of water can become an opportunity to remember the Supreme.The eternal friend we are searching for may have been beside us all along.Chapters 00:00:00 Arjuna's surrender and the foundation of spiritual knowledge ‎ 00:01:53 Krishna consciousness as the highest form of yoga ‎ 00:04:37 The three features of the Absolute Truth: Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan ‎ 00:08:43 Paramatma and the two birds in the tree analogy ‎ 00:12:58 Bhagavan, the soul's servant identity, and divine love ‎ 00:16:30 Krishna's avatar, transcendental form, and liberation ‎ 00:22:02 Free will, perception of Krishna, and divine reciprocation ‎ 00:26:38 Illusion, impersonalism, and Krishna as the basis of Brahman ‎ 00:31:46 Ishvara, Purusha, and Krishna's material and spiritual energies ‎ 00:38:09 Loneliness, eternal relationship, and Krishna as the origin of all ‎ 00:41:06 Vedic creation, material elements, and remembering Krishna in daily life ‎ 00:45:59 Devotion, surrender, chanting, and the accessibility of spiritual life ‎ 00:52:33 Invitation to questions and final encouragement‎#BhagavadGita #GuideForLife #Krishna #Paramatma #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualWisdom #SelfRealization #GodRealization #YogaWisdom

Jesus built His Church on Peter—and He calls each of us to help others discover the beauty of the Catholic faith. In this homily, Fr. John Hollowell: explains the famous "Petros vs. Petra" objection to the papacy, shows why Jesus truly established His Church on Peter, discusses why the Church's interpretation of Scripture matters, and challenges every Catholic to "Walk With One" by inviting one person to explore the Catholic faith. You don't have to know every answer. You simply have to be willing to walk alongside one person and invite them closer to Christ. "Who is the one person God is asking you to walk with?" If this homily encouraged you, please share it with someone who has questions about the Catholic faith.

Begin Again A Gentle Invitation to Live ANEW The WISDOM Podcast with Dorothy Zennuriye Juno   scroll to bottom to listen What if beginning again didn't mean starting over? What if it meant pausing long enough to notice where you are now — what matters, what has changed, what you are ready to choose, and what may quietly be asking to begin within you? In this episode of The WISDOM Podcast, Dorothy invites you into the heart of ANEW — a 30-day journey of gentle new beginnings that begins September 1st inside JUNO. ANEW isn't a challenge. And you don't need to meditate every day, have a journaling practice, or consider yourself particularly self-aware to begin. You simply begin where you are. Throughout September, ANEW offers a gentle daily rhythm for becoming more present to your life: a morning reflection and invitation, space to journal if you choose, an Evening Return, occasional guided audio practices, and weekly live ANEW Gatherings. But beneath all of this is a much simpler invitation: What wants to begin within you now? Perhaps there is something you want to return to. Something you are ready to make room for. A way you want to feel. A choice you have been postponing. Something you've outgrown. Something that matters more than you've been allowing yourself to acknowledge. Or perhaps you don't know yet. ANEW gives you somewhere to begin discovering. ✨ In This Episode Dorothy explores what it really means to begin again — not by discarding the life you've already lived, but by listening more closely to the person you are now. You'll hear about: why September can offer a natural threshold for reflection and renewal the difference between starting over and beginning again how small moments of awareness can begin to change the way you participate in your life why you don't need an established meditation or journaling practice to experience ANEW the gentle daily rhythm of the 30-day journey the journal, Evening Returns, guided audio practices and weekly live Gatherings that accompany you how ANEW can help you notice what you want to carry forward — and what you may be ready to choose differently why this journey is designed to be returned to each year, meeting you differently as your life changes ANEW is ultimately an invitation to spend a month in conscious relationship with your own life. Not fixing yourself. Not becoming someone else. Not getting thirty days “right.” But noticing. Listening. Choosing. And allowing what matters to become a little more visible.

Bryan Murphy, CEO of Smartling, confronts a $40 billion industry stuck in the slow lane—the world of translation. Most companies still handle translations like it's 1999: manual, expensive, and painfully slow. Bryan saw AI as the game changer that could rewrite the rules, but integrating it wasn't a walk in the park. He shares how Smartling harnessed AI to not just cut costs and speed up translation but to finally boost quality close to human-level precision without losing control over brand voice or nuance. Yet, making this leap meant upheaval: reorganizing teams, hiring AI experts, and establishing ruthless R&D discipline to separate winning ideas from distractions. Bryan also shares: - Why a $40 billion translation industry was ripe for disruption - How AI helped Smartling move from faster and cheaper to dramatically better - What it took to bring AI into a traditional business without sacrificing quality or brand voice - Why hiring the right AI talent was critical to making the shift - How ruthless R&D discipline helps separate breakthrough ideas from distractions - Why every AI initiative needs a clear connection to customer outcomes Chapters 00:00 - Introduction to Bryan Murphy and Defining the Translation Challenge 02:30 - The Hidden $40B Translation Market and Its Untapped Potential 06:00 - Early AI in Translation: Faster and Cheaper, But Not Yet Better 09:20 - Human-in-the-Loop AI: Boosting Translator Productivity Tenfold 13:00 - Unlocking Market Expansion Through Improved SEO and Digital Footprint 15:00 - The Moment of Truth: Recognizing GPT's Impact and Rolling Out Rapid Innovation 18:00 - Overcoming Organizational Challenges: From Excitement to Structured Execution 22:00 - The Discipline of "Customer-First" in AI Development and Roadmapping 24:00 - Leadership Lessons: Listening Without Losing Vision Amidst Painful Change 26:00 - Winning Customer Trust: Betting On Proofs of Concept Against Skeptics 28:00 - Personal Insights: Favorite Leadership Books and the Role of Intellectual Curiosity 33:00 - Wrap-up and Invitation to Follow Smartling's AI-Empowered Evolution Try Smartling: smartling.com

Launching my son to college wrecked me a little, and it clarified something too: we get stuck in our growth when we won't align with the season God actually has us in. In this episode, I am sharing three keys to owning yours: 1. See what God is doing. You're chasing your felt needs. He's after your core needs, and those two rarely look the same. Ask: what is God doing in this season, not just what do I want out of it. 2. Notice what it's depositing in you. Like the Sons of Issachar, we're called to discern the times. What's being sown now becomes your harvest later. 3. Maximize where you are. Life moves and changes as we live it. You have to have your finger on the pulse of what God is doing so you can make the most out of it. Let this episode encourage you, challenge you, and help you grow.   TIMESTAMP 00:00:00 - Welcome to Wisdom's Table 00:00:27 - Owning Your Season 00:01:08 - Personal Experience: Launching My Son to College 00:02:10 - Understanding God's Timing 00:03:45 - Key #1: What is God Doing? 00:06:23 - Core Needs vs. Felt Needs 00:07:47 - Key #2: What is This Season Depositing in You? 00:10:25 - The Importance of Past Seasons 00:12:43 - Key #3: Maximizing Your Current Season 00:15:01 - Creating Memories vs. Financial Planning 00:16:14 - The Full Court Press 00:17:17 - Practical Steps to Own Your Season 00:19:02 - Recap of the Three Keys 00:19:54 - Invitation to Connect 00:20:46 - Upcoming Episode Announcement 00:21:07 - Closing Thoughts and Encouragement  

The Invitation | The Word is Joy | Geneve Garcia by Akouo Church

When a broken heart turns into a blueprint, one woman can quietly change the fate of thousands. In this episode, Christine sits down with Sister Lucy Kurien, the visionary founder of Maher (“Mother's Home”), an interfaith, caste-free network of homes for women, children, and men in India. Called to ServeSister Lucy Kurien was born in 1956 in Kolayad, Kannur District, Kerala, India. After several years of formal education, at age 14 she moved to Mumbai, where she was profoundly distressed by the appalling poverty and squalor in the city. Having carried a strong inner desire for justice since childhood, she felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of the poor and famished around her. In 1980, she joined Sisters of the Cross, a religious order. It was a difficult decision that meant giving up the bliss of an independent and free life. After 4 years of training, she was professed to the order.The Birth of MaherSister Lucy started Maher activities in a small home in Vadhu Budruk, near Bhima Koregaon on the Ahmednagar highway. Her tireless efforts and the work of the dedicated staff led to the expansion of Maher activities to nearby areas. These include the villages in Shirur, Haveli and Khed talukas, as well as the city of Ratnagiri, Miraj & Satara in Maharashtra. Beyond Maharashtra, Maher has established homes in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. In 2011, unable to ignore the plight of abandoned men on the streets, Maher opened its first home for destitute, aged, and mentally challenged men. Today Maher reaches the life of the poorest of the poor through as many as 25 different outreach projects, including 672 village self-help groups and 75 interfaith, caste-free homes that currently shelter 996 children and 292 men and over 798 destitute women. Since its founding, Maher has provided care and shelter for more than 6200 children, 6,500 women, and 850 men.In this conversation, you'll hear how Sister Lucy transforms heartbreak into practical compassion—turning love into food, shelter, education, mental health care, and long-term dignity.Press play to hear Sister Lucy's extraordinary story and what it truly means to be “the medicine and refuge” in a hurting world—and if her work moves you, please donate to Maher.

We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better—whether it's more money, social media fame, choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, "narrow" seems negative. Pastor Rich Villodas shares from his book "The Narrow Path: How the Subversive Way of Jesus Satisfies Our Souls."

What happens when Christian parents become so focused on connection, affirmation, and keeping the peace that they stop leading their children? In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett examine the rise of gentle parenting and ask a difficult question: Can an emphasis on connection and emotional safety actually become a form of parental passivity? Steve and Mark explore what biblical leadership looks like in the home—and why loving your children doesn't mean avoiding boundaries, correction, discomfort, or authority. They discuss the difference between invitation and challenge: building deep relationships with your children while still being willing to direct them, correct them, and hold the line when necessary. The conversation connects modern parenting culture to the biblical example of Adam's passivity in the Garden of Eden and Abraham's calling to command his household to follow the way of the Lord. The goal isn't authoritarian parenting or harsh discipline. It's a form of fatherhood that combines warmth with strength and prepares children to become responsible adults, faithful Christians, and future leaders of their own families. Steve and Mark also get practical, discussing screen limits, bedtimes, curfews, sleepovers, technology, financial responsibility, correcting disrespect and dishonesty, allowing children to experience failure, and how a father's unwillingness to lead can affect his marriage. Ultimately, this episode is about more than parenting techniques. It's about family leadership, biblical authority, resilience, and building a multi-generational legacy that can withstand the pressures of modern culture. In this episode: • The rise of gentle parenting • Christian parenting vs. cultural parenting trends • Why connection alone isn't enough • Invitation and challenge in parenting • Biblical leadership in the home • Adam's passivity in Genesis 3 • Abraham's example of leading his household • Setting healthy boundaries with children • Discipline without harshness or authoritarianism • Why children may actually feel more secure when parents lead • Screen time, technology, bedtimes, and curfews • Teaching children financial responsibility • Correcting disrespect, dishonesty, and bad character • Allowing children to fail while still providing leadership • How parental passivity can affect marriage • Building family identity and generational legacy • Raising resilient Christian children • The Parenthood Primer • Growing Kids God's Way Resources mentioned in this episode: The Parenthood Primer View The Parenthood Primer on Amazon Chapters (00:00:01) - What Adam's Passivity in the Home(00:00:54) - Abraham's Wallet: How to Lead Your Home(00:02:07) - Let's Talk Fafo Parenting(00:06:17) - What Is Gentle Parenting?(00:09:44) - Strict Curfews(00:19:17) - How to Prevent Passivity in Parenting(00:24:38) - How Passive Parents Can Be a temptation(00:30:19) - 7 Rules for Parenting in the Teenage Years(00:33:52) - Pre-Parental Counseling Workbook(00:35:06) - Coming soon: Trust God's Design for the FamilyHelp us equip more biblical bosses!: https://abrahamswallet.com/support AW website | YouTube | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn

If you're an introvert, Projector in Human Design, or subscribe to the "if they wanted to, they would" line of thinking, this episode is for you.Agata Serocka comes on the show today as a spokesperson for Projectors, who think reaching out, pitching, and asking for what they want isn't part of their strategy. We get into how to build a signal, BECOME the invitation, and not miss out on life's biggest opportunities by sitting in the passenger seat. We talk about:Reframing "waiting for the invitation" and how to move beyond the LITERAL interpretation to actively create conditions (podcasting, writing, showing up) that invite opportunities.Making outreach and pitching feel warm and not annoying AF. Building genuine rapport, finding connections, and doing research before reaching out vs. cold-pitching someone "hey girl haven't talked since we were 16 but would love for you to join my course! Link in bio!"Reframing labels (Projector, HSP, ADHD, rejection-sensitive) as data points to design a personalized, sustainable approach to visibility and business.Discernment over volume. How to say no to opportunities that don't fit, and trusting what's meant to work out, will! Making pitching fun and creative again. Gamify audacity by using playful approaches  like quests, small asks, and outlandish ideas to build confidence and make outreach sustainable vs. another "ugh, I have to do that?" choreConnect with Agata:The Culture of Unrushing Podcast on Spotify and AppleSubstackWaitlist to Agata's mastermindExperience Audit FreebieConnect with Chelsea:Join the SHOOT YOUR SHOT CHALLENGE Aug 25-27th!Enroll in Audacity for $900 off til Aug 27th!Get on the Ultimate Pitch Kit waitlist

For decades, families have been told that "tough love" is the best way to help someone struggling with addiction. But what if that approach is making things worse? In this episode, Christina talks with Kathleen Cochran, founder of Moms for All Paths to Recovery, about what she learned after walking alongside her daughter through more than 20 years of opioid addiction. They discuss why compassion isn't the same as enabling, how medications for opioid use disorder can save lives, and why every person's path to recovery looks different. Whether you're supporting a loved one or simply want to better understand addiction, this conversation offers practical hope, evidence-based insights, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to help.

What if you stopped building your life around who you think you should be and started building around who you actually are?In this Weekly Invitation, Jessica welcomes Virgo season with a conversation about embodiment, perfectionism, intuition, self-trust, and honoring your individual blueprint.After Gemini invited us to tell the story, Cancer to create safety, and Leo to have the courage to be ourselves, Virgo asks us to tend to that self.Jessica shares how she's learning to build her work around the way she naturally creates, processes, rests, and receives rather than forcing herself into someone else's model of consistency.And in true Virgo fashion, we're talking about perfectionism too.After delaying recordings because of loud construction outside her window, Jessica realized the practice was to record anyway. If you hear some background noise, breathe. Life is happening here too.Because embodiment isn't waiting for perfect conditions before we begin.This week's invitation:What would change if you built around who you actually are?And rather than looking outside yourself for the answer, practice asking:What do I need today?Then see what happens when you honor it.In This Episode​Virgo season + embodiment​Perfectionism and letting things be imperfect​Intuition and self-trust​Honoring your individual blueprint​Astrology + Human Design as tools for awareness​Rest and nervous system awareness​Creating around your natural rhythms​Honoring your emotional needs Intuitive Living: The Foundations of Rooted & Rising Coming soon.A timeless audio experience intentionally created to be revisited again and again.Safety Within — Come back to your body.Remember Who You Are — Come back to yourself.The Body Knows — Trust what you know.This isn't something I created for you to finish.I created it for you to return to.Founding access: $44Standard investment: $88JOIN THE WAITLISTExplore + Work With JessicaBOOK A 1:1 SESSIONINSTAGRAM: @peoplecallmejessWEBSITEIf this episode resonated, follow Jessica Meils the Podcast, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who may need this conversation.About Jessica MeilsJessica Meils is a Spiritual Medium, Intuitive Healer, Shamanic Practitioner, and Womb Healing Guide.Through intuition, intuitive living, mediumship, intuitive healing, shamanic practices, womb healing, ancestral healing, energy healing, nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, intuitive astrology, and spiritual and psychic development, Jessica helps people strengthen self-trust, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and remember who they are.Her work bridges spirituality with grounded embodiment through one-to-one sessions, immersive experiences, and Jessica Meils the Podcast.Keywords: intuition, intuitive healing, self-trust, intuitive astrology, spiritual medium, mediumship, shamanic practitioner, womb healing, ancestral healing, spiritual and psychic development, nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, Virgo season, astrology, Human Design, perfectionism, intuitive living.
