Eric Thompson interviews Ryan Wentworth and Michael Parsiola of Reve Realtors in New Orleans, Louisiana, who experienced a dramatic turnaround after realizing they had been running their business "on accident." After dropping from 20 million in volume to 13 million in a challenging market shaped by rising interest rates and skyrocketing insurance costs, they consciously decided to rebuild their business on purpose. The shift was not about chasing more leads. It was about returning to fundamentals, implementing consistent flow systems, and intentionally structuring their partnership. In 2025, they produced 29 million in volume, a 123% year-over-year Increase, while the market grew only 3%. They share how they streamlined operations, eliminated inefficiencies, and recommitted to consistent client touches including just sold mailers, newsletters, market reports, and highly creative live flow events like Saints football games and architectural cycling tours. They also discuss how they divide responsibilities within their partnership to maximize clarity and efficiency, with one focusing on listings and the other on buyers, while maintaining unified communication. At its core, their breakthrough came from moving from reactive to intentional, from accidental production to systemized flow, and from perfection paralysis to consistent action. Key Takeaways Being "on accident" often means managing incoming business without proactive flow systems Market shifts expose weak systems and force clarity Rebuilding from the ground up creates stronger, more efficient processes Intentional flow beats accidental momentum Mailers and market reports work when consistent and visible Auto flow creates visibility even when you are busy Invitations are as powerful as attendance for generating connection Creative, authentic flow tied to personal interests increases engagement Partnership clarity prevents confusion and builds client trust Clearly defined roles create efficiency and confidence Coaching provides accountability, fresh ideas, and perspective Perfection is the enemy of good and progress beats paralysis Consistency compounds, even if it feels small in the moment Memorable Quotes "We were managing the business that was coming at us, not on purpose." "We need to go back to basics." "We needed to know how the sausage is made." "Just sold cards were all in my head. Clients loved them." "We didn't want them to feel passed off." "Perfection is the enemy of good." "Look at where you were two years ago." "We're not a 10, but we're a 7, and that's way better than a 2."

President Dallin H. Oaks was set apart as the 18th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct. 14, 2025.

In this podcast episode from the sermon on John 1:35-51, titled "Come and See: Being Found by Jesus," the pastor examines the calling of Jesus's first disciples to illustrate how salvation works. The passage shows John the Baptist referring his own disciples to Jesus, which was unheard of in that culture, demonstrating God's initiative in salvation. When Jesus turns and asks the disciples, "What are you seeking?" it reveals that questions are often better than answers and that Jesus is always the initiator in our spiritual journey. The episode emphasizes that salvation is initiated by God, responded to by people, and applied through relationships. The life-changing invitation to "come and see" becomes a model for how believers should invite others into a relationship with Jesus. Pastor Matt explains that we find people using Andrew's immediate response to bring his brother Simon (later called Peter) to Jesus as an example. The message also touches on baptism as an act of obedience that follows salvation, not something that saves us, but rather evidence of our response to God's grace. The sermon concludes with practical applications about how believers can extend four types of invitations: to get to know someone better, to share burdens through prayer, to invite people to church, and ultimately to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.

After the Queen's death in 2022, Charles inherited not only the crown — but his brother's scandal. The new king faced an impossible choice: protect the family or protect the throne. With William's firm backing, Charles moved quietly but decisively to isolate Andrew. Invitations stopped coming. Funding was cut. The doors of Buckingham Palace closed. Behind the scenes, the monarchy was cleansing itself to survive another century.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

I reach the summit.   Not inch by inch—no, I arrive in a flood. Talent spills out of me. Love follows, tidal and unquestioning. Directors orbit me like obedient moons; they cannot imagine a world without my sound. I do not merely compose music—I alter its grammar. I am told I am a miracle. I begin to agree.   This is where it breaks.   Because admiration, once mistaken for destiny, hardens into entitlement. I begin to believe the applause is owed, not earned. That the place I clawed my way to is permanent, immune to time, taste, or doubt. I convince myself I can offer anything—anything at all—and the world must bow and call it genius. If it doesn't, the fault lies with the world. They don't understand music. They don't understand me.   Power arrives quietly. I let it.   I summon directors and leave them waiting in the dark, hours stretching thin, just to feel my own gravity. I choose sacred backdrops for first meetings, mistaking symbolism for sanctity. I give indifferent music to a good film and dismiss its failure as “divisive,” because nothing I touch is allowed to be mediocre—only misunderstood.   Lines I never meant to draw begin to appear everywhere.   Faith, identity, difference—these become instruments too, played without care. When someone enters my home carrying another god, another grammar of devotion, the air tightens. Symbols are stripped, not violently, but casually. As if it is obvious, as if it is necessary. As if genius grants permission.   My arrogance is no longer an accident. It is deliberate. Curated. Non-negotiable.   I do not spare those who built me. The directors who trusted me when I was still a question mark. The collaborators who believed music was a conversation, not a sermon. One by one, they drift away—not in protest, but in fatigue. Projects thin out. Invitations dry up.   And the music—ah, the music.   It stumbles. It repeats itself. It loses hunger. But how would I know? I am sealed inside a fog of my own praise, a mausoleum of old triumphs. Self-awareness was buried years ago, quietly, without ceremony.   So when the world starts turning elsewhere—towards younger, leaner, less reverential talent—I am stunned. Betrayed. How dare they move on from me?   Then comes the mirror I choose because it flatters my wounds. The foreign interviewer. The sympathetic gaze. The easy narrative. I explain my fading relevance with a single, convenient sentence: it isn't decline, it's persecution. Not exhaustion, but exclusion. The industry, I say, is communal. I am being punished for who I am.   I believe this because it costs me nothing. It asks nothing of my craft, my humility, my failures.   And even when someone who has known me—who has admired me—looks at me and says, almost gently, almost in disbelief, “My god, I never even realised you were Muslim,” the truth still does not land. Because by then I am too deep inside my grievance to hear anything else.   I mistake isolation for martyrdom.   I retreat into the smallest room imaginable: the ghetto of my own frustration. Religion, the last refuge of the unimaginative and the cornered, becomes my alibi.   What I do not see—what I may never see—is the scale of the loss.   The hearts that once beat in time with my music and now feel nothing. The silence in concert halls where tickets were bought with devotion and abandoned with disappointment. The audience that did not turn hostile—they simply stopped coming.   That is the true heartbreak.   Not that I fell. But that I never understood why.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on failures & hypocrisies of people  -  Mr Hoskote, have you visited Kashmir recently?

Self-care isn't a luxury — it's your foundation. Today, we explore why self-care can feel so uncomfortable (especially for those of us used to being the strong one), and how to start building your tolerance for pleasure, rest, and receiving. These are the same micro-practices that have transformed my relationship with myself and my energy over time. Here are the truths I keep learning again and again:

In this episode we continue on with Luke 11:37-54 where Jesus goes to a Pharisees house for dinner and subsequently speaks woes to both the Pharisees and the scribes. From this passage we discuss how each of the woes sheds light on the misconceptions and misrepresentations of the Pharisees and scribes while also simultaneously extending an invitation for each of them to abide with God. In the same way, these woes can expose our own misconceptions and misrepresentations and invite us to abide with Him as we seek to live in His kingdom.

The Joe and Charlie Big Book workshops have been popular for many years and it was one of my first posts.  I went looking for the latest version I could find and came across this one from 2013, it has great audio quality and I have combined all the files into one 12 hour workshop.  A little background on the workshops: In 1977, some AA members met in a Tulsa, Oklahoma hotel room for a discussion on The Big Book. One member asked Joe and Charlie to come to his home group to present a program on The Big Book. A taping of that presentation was made and called "The Big Book Study". Through the circulation of these audio tapes throughout the Fellowship, Joe and Charlie received invitations to present the Study at AA conventions, roundups and special events. At the AA International Convention in New Orleans in 1980, Wesley P, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA members from all over the world and gave away 100 Joe & Charlie tape sets as door prizes. Invitations exploded, and within a couple of years Joe & Charlie were presenting about 36 seminars a year worldwide. These seminars struck a deep chord within the AA members.

Today we’re wrapping up our One Word 2026 series with the final two invitations: enthusiastic and trusting. I wanted this whole month to feel unhurried—like space to look back on 2025 with gratitude, and then ask God, “How do You want to grow me in 2026?” And here’s what I’ve realized: enthusiasm isn’t something we manufacture by willpower. Real, lasting enthusiasm comes from being filled with God—and I love that the word itself traces back to that idea. If you’ve felt tired, distracted, discouraged, or even a little apathetic, I’m inviting you to consider what it would look like to be ardently alive, fueled by the Spirit. Then we talk about trust—because so many of us are carrying unknowns, losses, or things we can’t control. Trust is choosing to rely on God’s character when the outcome isn’t clear. We’ll look at Zacchaeus (Luke 19), the centurion (Matthew 8), and we’ll end with a reminder that God’s holiness means He is truly worthy of our trust. What We Cover: Discover what “enthusiastic” originally meant—not just high energy, but being “in God” and Spirit-filled. Identify the real enemy of enthusiasm: indifference and apathy that grows when we’re overwhelmed and disconnected from God’s strength. Learn how spiritual enthusiasm shows up in real life through Zacchaeus: curiosity, bold response, generosity, and immediate heart-change in Jesus’ presence. Understand trust as steady reliance on God’s character, not on what you can control, predict, or prove. Be invited to name your modern “chariots and horses”—the things you’re tempted to rely on for security (money, approval, control, success, relationships, etc.). See what extraordinary faith looks like in the centurion: trusting Jesus’ authority without needing visible proof. Walk away with two simple affirmations to practice daily if either word becomes your focus for 2026.

Embracing Pauses as Invitations for Reflection and Growth In this heartfelt message, Jeremy encourages viewers to see interruptions, such as inclement weather, as opportunities for reflection, rest, and deeper connection with family and faith. He draws parallels to biblical stories where God used moments of stillness to reveal profound truths and offers practical advice on how to use unexpected downtime to re-evaluate life's direction and priorities. Jeremy also emphasizes the importance of being fully present with those around us and embracing the spiritual practice of reflection. The episode concludes with a prayer for safety, community support, and a deeper connection with God during these quiet moments. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:34 Embracing Interruptions as Invitations 02:29 New Beginnings and Slow Starts 04:22 The Importance of Stillness 08:41 Reflection and Honest Assessment 14:03 Practical Steps for Growth 17:00 Building Community and Being Present 19:59 Conclusion and Prayer

SEGMENT 10: GAZA DIPLOMACY AND INVITATIONS TO ADVERSARIES Guest: Mary Kissel Kissel analyzes the peculiar diplomatic landscape surrounding Gaza negotiations, including controversial outreach to bad actors like Putin. Discussion questions the wisdom of engaging hostile powers in Middle East peacemaking, the signals this sends to allies, and how the new administration might reshape these diplomatic approaches going forward.

In Parshat Bo, G-d tells Moses something unexpected: “Come to Pharaoh.” Not go… but come.In this episode Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a profound teaching from the Zohar and Chassidic thought: when we face a “Pharaoh” in our lives… fear, resistance, heartbreak, failure, or a person who seems to block our freedom… we are never sent alone. G-d says: Come with Me.Even more startling, G-d adds: “Because I hardened his heart.” The resistance itself is Divine. Not to stop redemption, but to reveal it.Through Torah, Kabbalah, psychology, and powerful stories (including the donkey in the pit and a letter from the Rebbe), this class reframes life's hardships as portals, not barriers. What feels like opposition is often the very force meant to uncover our deepest strength, courage, and soul-power.This is a class about fear, faith, resilience and discovering that the path forward is often a winding one, but it always leads upward.Key TakeawaysYou never face adversity alone. “Come to Pharaoh” means G-d walks with you into your hardest moments.Resistance is not random. Some of the strongest opposition in life is part of the redemption process itself.Pharaoh is not in control. What looks overwhelming is often a tool, not a tyrant.Obstacles are portals. Life's blockages are invitations to excavate hidden strength.Growth is uncomfortable by design. Muscle only grows by tearing and so does the soul.The dirt can bury you or elevate you. Shake it off. Step up. Rise.Your hardest challenges may reveal your greatest light.

In this episode, Dr. Warren unveils the heartbeat of his work: The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery — a framework rooted in science, anchored in Scripture, and powerfully practical for everyday life. He walks us through why “Feelings are not facts,” why you can’t change your life without changing your mind first, and why choosing joy is not naïve… but neurologically sound. These commandments aren’t rules — they’re invitations. Invitations to step out of self-sabotage, emotional spirals, and “accidental” thinking, and into the healing God always intended for us. This conversation is one of those rare ones that feels like a wake-up call and a warm embrace at the same time. If you’re ready for clarity, courage, and a blueprint for personal healing, this episode will become one you return to again and again.

Have you ever wondered why, in the moments you crave connection the most, you suddenly find yourself pulling back or feeling unworthy of love? It's a confusing cycle—wanting deep intimacy yet stumbling over old shame and protective patterns that keep you at arm's length from those who matter most. The echoes of our early relationships can linger, quietly shaping the way we trust, open up, and even interpret simple gestures of kindness. Left unspoken and unexplored, these internal beliefs can create barriers to the very closeness we long for. In this episode, listeners are invited to take a compassionate look at how shame and childhood experiences impact our sense of self and our present-day relationships. Through real-life examples and insights from trauma and nervous system work, you'll discover why you might struggle with receiving care, how protective behaviors like people-pleasing or withdrawal develop, and, most importantly, how healing and repair are possible within intimate partnerships. The conversation offers practical tools for recognizing these patterns, slowing down your reactions, and using curiosity and acceptance to gently shift toward deeper connection—with yourself and with others. Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a licensed psychologist and a leading voice in the healing of trauma. She is an internationally sought-after teacher and award winning author of eight books including The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook, Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma, and Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga. As the founder of the Center for Resilience Informed Therapy, she offers a mind-body approach to therapy for trauma and informational mental health and wellness updates through her writing, public speaking, social media presence, and blog. She believes that the journey of trauma recovery is an awakening of the spiritual heart.   Episode Highlights 06:17 Uncovering attachment wounds and realizing childhood patterns in adulthood. 08:41 How shame and unworthiness show up in everyday relationship gestures. 10:59 The deep impact of relational trauma on trust and receiving love. 13:44 Cycles of childhood rejection and their lasting influence in relationships. 17:04 Understanding neuroception: Faulty safety cues and couple dynamics. 23:04 Common protective behaviors that mask shame and hinder true connection. 26:02 How longing to be authentically seen often leads to frustration and anger. 27:46 Facing shame: The role of curiosity, acceptance, and turning toward pain. 34:33 How slowing down and identifying underlying feelings in moments of reactivity allows for more vulnerable communication and understanding between partners. 37:03 Accessing and soothing shame through parts work and somatic awareness. 41:04 The power of presence: Attending to shame somatically and non-judgmentally. 42:57 Supporting partners in their activation: Invitations, patience, and repair.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Start noticing moments when you feel unworthy or defensive in relationships, and pause to reflect on what's being activated inside you. Practice slowing down your reactions, even if just for a few seconds, to bring curiosity rather than judgment to your responses. When you notice shame or discomfort, try labeling it as just one part of yourself—remind yourself it doesn't define your entire being. Invite more acceptance for uncomfortable feelings by turning toward them with compassion instead of pushing them away. If you're in a reactive moment with a loved one, communicate with phrases like, "Can I run something by you?" or "The story I'm telling myself is…" to clarify your experience. Focus on building body awareness—notice where you feel tension, contraction, or the urge to hide, and gently stay present with it. When you notice a protective behavior like people-pleasing or withdrawing, ask yourself what underlying need or emotion might be driving it. In heated moments with your partner, offer supportive choices like, "How can I best support you right now?" instead of jumping into problem-solving or fixing.   Mentioned The Polyvagal Theory Workbook for Trauma (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Complex PTSD Workbook (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Post-Traumatic Growth Deck (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Brene Brown (website) Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (*Psychology Today) (link) Polyvagal Theory (website) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dr. Arielle Schwartz Websites: drarielleschwartz.com | resilienceinformedtherapy.com Facebook: facebook.com/drarielleschwartz X: twitter.com/DrAschwartz YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC5LUxnXbReV7I5cEzvb46sQ Instagram: instagram.com/arielleschwartzboulder LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/arielle-schwartz-0756b62a

If you're ready to take control of your FAM strategy, this episode delivers a fresh and empowering perspective.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, explores the practice of giving public invitations in worship services. Drawing from LifeWay Research and his own ministry experience, he discusses the importance of thoughtful invitation planning, the concerns pastors face, and practical ways to invite people to respond meaningfully to the gospel.

What do you do when a new year begins—but the past still speaks loudly?In this message, Seizing the Promises of God, we confront the very first question ever asked in Scripture: “Did God really say?” It's a question the enemy still uses today to challenge God's character, weaken faith, and keep believers stuck in yesterday's disappointments or victories.This teaching calls us to reset our focus, realign our faith, and actively partner with God to see His promises fulfilled. God's promises are not automatic—they are invitations. Invitations to forget what lies behind, fix our gaze on what is ahead, and fight daily with faith, obedience, and responsibility.You'll be reminded that:God's promises are always future-focused, not past-definedNew seasons are God's gift for renewal and hopeChoosing God's future requires intentional decisions and real sacrificeEvery promise will be contested, but faith knows how to fightGod works in us—but we must work it out in partnership with HimThis message is both a challenge and an encouragement for anyone stepping into a new year, a new season, or a fresh start. If you're ready to stop circling yesterday and start laying hold of what God has spoken, this word is for you.Scriptures referenced include: Genesis 3:1, Philippians 3:13, Hebrews 4:1–2, Psalm 2, 1 Timothy 1:18, Philippians 2:12–13, Jeremiah 29:11.

“Knowledge didn't fail you. It just can't carry you where you're going next.” Topics Discussed • Fertility burnout after years of doing everything right • IVF trauma and how it lingers beyond the procedure • Why knowledge alone stops creating change • Subconscious blocks that show up as overdoing and overwhelm • The role of frequency in emotional healing and integration • Letting go of fixing, chasing, and constant optimizing • Becoming the observer instead of the manager of your healing “Your body isn't asking for more effort. It's asking for coherence.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This is not a New Year pep talk. This is not a fresh start fantasy. This is a pause. There comes a moment in the fertility journey when learning more stops helping. When gut health protocols, mindset work, emotional healing, even subconscious healing start stacking up instead of settling in. When fertility burnout isn't loud panic anymore, but quiet exhaustion. The kind where you know what to do, yet nothing feels integrated. This episode is an honest conversation about that moment. The one where information is no longer the issue. Patterns are. Frequency is. The way you relate to your body, your story, your timeline, your expectations. The part where IVF trauma, loss, and pressure quietly shape how safe it feels to slow down. I share why I am shifting this podcast into something simpler, slower, and more uncomfortable in the best way. Short episodes. Less teaching. More space. Invitations to notice how you move, react, strive, and hold control. Not so you fix yourself, but so you stop abandoning yourself in the name of doing it right. If you have done everything and still feel stuck, this episode will meet you there. No rescue. No urgency. Just a truth that might feel sharp at first, then oddly relieving. “Liberation begins when you stop trying to prove you're doing enough.” Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and grounding into the conversation 01:30 Why New Year energy never resonated for me 03:20 When knowledge became accessible, but embodiment didn't follow 05:50 The patterns I see women repeating even with all the tools 07:15 Why this podcast is shifting into shorter, quieter episodes 09:30 Fertility burnout, IVF trauma, and the illusion of control 11:40 What real pattern interruption actually asks of you “Nothing new needs to be added. Something old needs to be released.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-end-of-infertility-overdoing-a-new-frequency-for-fertility-healing Let's Do This Together

Kelli tells a gorgeous story this week, well, to be fair, several gorgeous stories-about how she has ended up in this liminal space of imagination and myth and dream, about how healing can occur when you least expect it, and how one can suddenly find themselves working with the musician Moby, (also when you least expect it!). Her life story is one of synchronicity and magic and great, great love. And guess what? She's taking all of her alchemical skills and going further and deeper into the darkness than ever before, to bring us magic from those depths, and to help us all live more intentional and transformational lives. Her website, Greater Mysteries, holds so much fabulous magic on it's own, and explains the work she is doing in the world and especially, in caves. Check it out here! To do an in depth dive on Kelli, here is her personal website! And her Wiki!  And then, you should absolutely not forget her Insta, because it is full of goodness for all of us! Find her Insta here! I hope, on this Solstice, that you find consolation, magic, music and beauty, and that this day is one full of good friends, walks in nature and reminders that even the Earth at times, stands still.

Today's episode is a little different and really special. I'm finally sharing the story behind my new book, Healing with Somatic Yoga. This book is the heart of everything I've been teaching, practicing, and living — and I can't wait for you to hold it in your hands. If you've ever felt like traditional wellness advice just doesn't reach the deeper layers — like something's missing — you're not alone. We're entering what I'm calling the Decade of the Nervous System. It's time to stop muscling through healing and start listening to the body that's been protecting you all along. You'll hear:
