Some truths arrive as whispers. Some arrive as wounds that teach. Some arrive as a reminder: you were never meant to fit… You were meant to be.In this intimate Q&A episode, I answer your questions on misunderstanding, boundaries, and creative resilience — pulling from the decades I've spent writing my way into my values, my voice, + mySELF.We explore how being misunderstood can become a kind of spiritual armor — not the hard kind, but the sacred kind that forms when you stand rooted in who you are, even when others can't comprehend you yet.I share stories from my 20s + 30s, the seasons where I had to choose between belonging to others or belonging to myself. Journaling became my sanctuary, my mirror, my extraction process — the place I met the real Roxanne.We go into boundary-setting with the people you love, why resentment is a poison, what it means to make a “true move,” + how to keep showing up for passions that feel heavy but holy.This episode is a love note to your inner compass — the one that always knows.TAKE THIS WITH YOU:Understanding your values is the foundation of every boundary you'll ever need.Being misunderstood often signals depth, integrity, + evolution.Boundaries are uncomfortable AND necessary — love doesn't cancel self-respect.When passion feels hard, alignment becomes your stamina.Journaling clears the fog so you can hear yourSELF again.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFREE RESOURCES:

What if the real discomfort zone isn't the big rapid, the waterfall, or the leap into the unknown — but the murky middle between who you've been and who you're becoming? In this powerful, honest conversation, Anna sits down with lifelong adventurer and Color My Outdoors founder Simone Adams to explore what it really takes to navigate fear, identity, and belonging in outdoor spaces. Together they dive into:

Today we have Yeimy. She's 30 years old, from Rhode Island and took her last drink of alcohol on January 19th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by:   Café RE – the social app for sober people Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored   January 1st, 2026 is the official release date for Paul's new book Dolce Vita and he'd love to have you on the launch team. Email info@recoveryelevator.com to join.   Registration for Recovery Elevator's Dry January course Restore is open. We are meeting 13 times live in the month of January to give you the best chance of ditching the booze.   [03:30] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us a concept that he still struggles with but has made progress. It is embracing the world of duality that we live in. Of course, we would all want to be happy all of the time, but living in the world of dualities, we have to have opposites for defining purposes.     Do your best to embrace it all. Square your shoulders to this thing called life and don't get attached to any of it.  When you have a good day, be grateful. When you have a shit day, be grateful, knowing that you need them both equally.   [06:33] Paul introduces Yeimy:   Yeimy is 30 years old and works as a phlebotomist. Yeimy says she is still figuring out what she likes to do for fun but says she enjoys spending time with family and trying new things as in food or places.    Yeimy says she was born into alcoholism as both of her parents were heavy drinkers. She doesn't specifically remember her first drink but was allowed to drink as a teenager when on vacation in the Dominican Republic.   In her early 20s, Yeimy worked in a bar and was able to drink on the job. Paired with other substances, Yeimy says her drinking became limitless.  After COVID happened, she started drinking alone at home. Occasionally Yeimy would question how much she was drinking, but when she mentioned it to friends, they would reassure her that it was fine, and she was just having fun.   Over this time, Yeimy said she had a few small rock bottoms including a two-week hospitalization, crashing her car and waking up in strange places from time to time. She didn't take the hint that she should stop the drinking and substance abuse and was determined to continue until something worse forced her to stop.   In 2022, Yeimy went to rehab. She says she wasn't ready but due to the concern of a friend, she went for 30 days and was able to stay sober for another 30 days but became overwhelmed when she went right back into her life with the same people and places.   Yeimy attempted to moderate from time to time to try and avoid losing jobs and relationships like she had in the past. In 2024 while in the early days of her relationship with a non-drinker, Yeimy says she felt like her drinking was under a microscope. She would try to hide her drinking but that became exhausting. December 2024 found Yeimy having a lot of moments and mishaps that led her to realize she couldn't do this anymore.   Yeimy began to go to AA meetings again but was still drinking. Her last rock bottom was when she fell asleep on the job the day after a blackout at a party. She was embarrassed and finally admitted to her boyfriend that she had a problem, and he said he would support her and she was relieved to have finally told him.   Whenever Yeimy felt the urge to drink, she attended meetings or listened to podcasts, staying focused on recovery for her first two months. With family support, she grew confident in her progress; she now works through AA steps with a sponsor. Physically, Yeimy feels strong, and mentally she is more focused and decisive. Journaling, meetings, and connecting with sober people help her stay on track. She can now spend time around her drinking family, though she limits those interactions.   Yeimy's parting piece of guidance: if you think you have a problem, you most likely do.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

“Journaling is one of the quickest, most readily available tools to tap into your soul.” –Kim MarieToo much hustle and feel like there should be more in this season? December is a potent time to figure out what's next. I'm talking with Kim Marie, creator of the Sacred Nights of Winter journal, about the sacred pause of this season.Winter lends itself to slowing down and going inward, which makes it a powerful time for journaling. What should you write down? For the Sacred Nights: record your dreams, reflect on the year past, envision the year to come, spend time reviewing your day, and consider the cosmic virtues. Each day maps to part of the year.I've done this practice many times and love the insights I get when I revisit my journal throughout the year.We talk about: Committing to journaling for the Sacred Nights of Winter Revisiting the journal — the cards, the insights, the dreams — in the appropriate month Noticing your own seasonal rhythmsSetting intentions for the year instead of resolutions and aligning with the seasons and moonWhy you might want to dialogue journal and how to do itHow journaling gets us out of our heads and helps us act from our soulABOUT KIM MARIEKim Marie is a Holistic Women's Empowerment and Spiritual Coach supporting women in the second half of life to awaken their inner wisdom, heal their Soul-sickness, and live a Soul-fulfilled life.Through her powerful mentoring, publications, programs, courses, and retreats, as well as her group coaching program, Solace, Kim brings a unique, and magical, blend of ancient wisdom, archetypes, Soul-led leadership, and practical spirituality to support visionary women longing to step into the fullness of their authentic expression.Kim is the author of the Sacred Nights of Winter Journal, the Sacred Seasons Journals, and the Soul Planner.

In this episode, I break down a simple, tactical journaling workflow that has completely transformed my self-awareness, clarity, and personal growth. I share exactly how I use Day One, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM to turn my weekly thoughts into a custom podcast I listen to every morning—helping me spot blind spots, track patterns, and accelerate my evolution in real time.Key Highlights:– The journaling habit that finally stuck: I share how I went from inconsistent journaling to writing every single day—and why the tool matters less than the process you design around it.– My full weekly workflow (step-by-step): I walk through the exact system I use: - Journaling daily in Day One - Exporting weekly entries - Feeding them into ChatGPT to identify themes, blind spots, mindset shifts, and quotes - Compiling a month of insights into NotebookLM - Generating a personal podcast made from my own thoughts and growth - Listening to that podcast every morning to reinforce new beliefs– Why this system works so powerfully: I explain how getting thoughts out of my mind creates space, helps me see patterns I'd normally miss, and gives me a new vantage point on my behavior, emotions, and growth.– Reinforcing your evolution: Hearing my own words reflected back to me in audio form strengthens clarity, reinforces direction, and lets me witness how far I've actually come.– A challenge for you: This is the method that works for me, but I encourage you to find the system that helps you digest your thoughts, track your growth, and create new mental space.If this episode brought you value or gave you a new way to think about journaling, send it to a friend who might need it. See you next time.

In this high-impact solo episode, Darin strips away the noise, hacks, and hype to deliver a clear, no-BS roadmap for transforming your body, brain, energy, and direction in life. This is a straight-talk breakdown of the 5 foundational habits that matter most — the habits backed by science, ancient wisdom, and Darin's decades-long experience living this work every day. Expect practical steps, micro-experiments, timing rules, and the mindset needed to reclaim sovereignty in a world full of distraction. If you're ready to build a stronger, clearer, more powerful version of yourself… this is the episode.     What You'll Learn 00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife How this podcast helps you build sovereignty through real habits, real truth, and real practices. 03:07 – Why this episode is different Darin lays out the mission: habits, hacks, hard truths — without dogma or fluff. 03:44 – The 5 foundational moves that change your biology A preview of the metabolic, physical, mental, and behavioral levers that create huge shifts.     1. METABOLIC EDGE — Eat Like You're Building a Future 04:03 – Terrain theory + why your food timing matters How altering the internal environment of your cells changes everything. 05:02 – The two levers that unlock metabolic health Time-restricted eating + plant-forward whole foods. 05:23 – Compressing your eating window Why 8–10 hours is ideal, how it improves glucose, insulin, weight, and inflammation. 06:18 – Practical weekly ramp-up Week 1: 12 hours. Week 2: 8–10 hours. Simple, sustainable, achievable. 07:10 – Darin's personal eating window 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. — and why eating earlier aligns with digestive fire.     2.

SLEEP — The Ultimate Biological Reset 16:26 – The truth everyone ignores You cannot out-supplement or out-biohack poor sleep. 16:40 – The real impact of chronic sleep loss Cognition, memory, hormones, emotional regulation — all decline. 17:37 – The universal rule: consistent timing Same bedtime ± 30 minutes, every night. 17:52 – 60-minute wind-down protocol Screens off, light down, nervous system softening. 18:32 – Using sauna as a down-regulation tool Infrared benefits + why Darin does it twice a day in winter.     4. MINDSET & CONSCIOUSNESS — Your Attention Is Your Power 20:00 – Why optimization fails without attention training You can master food, workouts, and sleep — but scattered attention destroys progress. 20:48 – Darin's morning protocol Water → elixir → infrared pad → meditation → visualization → journaling. Every day. Everywhere. 21:01 – Meta-analysis proof Meditation reduces anxiety, depression, stress — and rewires your brain. 21:23 – The perfect 10-minute breathwork formula 5–5–5–5 or 4–4–4–4 cycles for nervous system reset. 21:56 – Journaling as medicine Stream-of-consciousness to activate clarity and emotional release.     5. WEALTH — Treat Your Time Like Capital 22:36 – Redefining wealth It's not money — it's your magnetism, output, relationships, and purpose. 23:16 – The compounding effect of tiny decisions Time batching, micro-actions, and protecting your attention from the social media attention economy. 24:02 – Mini productivity framework 90 seconds → 3 important calls. Every Friday → 1 paragraph on what scaled this week. 25:14 – Darin's post-meditation rule No scrolling — replace with proactive actions: reading, outreach, Patreon replies.     FINAL TAKEAWAYS 26:02 – The master checklist: • Time-restricted eating • Plant-focused meals • Resistance training • Daily meditation • Consistent sleep • Sauna recovery • Treating time like capital 26:11 – The real danger Chasing hacks before mastering fundamentals leads to burnout, confusion, and stress. 27:58 – Your power is in the basics These are simple, accessible, and life-changing. 28:04 – Closing message "Have your best Super Life Day ever."     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

In part 2 of our Building Better Developers conversation with Mark Struczewski (Mister Productivity), we shift from foundational habits to the modern reality of our digital world. With smartphones, notifications, social media, and AI competing for every second of our attention, managing digital distractions has become one of the most important productivity skills of our time. Mark pulls back the curtain on how our devices keep us hooked—and offers practical, simple steps to regain control of our attention before the noise takes over. About Mark Struczewski Today, we're joined by Mark Struczewski—pronounced STRU-CHESS-KEY—better known as Mister Productivity. This Houston-based coach and host of the Mister Productivity™ Podcast, with over 1,340 episodes and thousands of downloads, equips busy professionals to crush overwhelm and reclaim focus. Drawing on his corporate grit and daily running discipline, Mark shares his proven 'Distraction Detox' framework to turn digital chaos into high-impact action. Please welcome Mark! Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, SnapChat Turning Off the Noise: First Steps in Managing Digital Distractions Mark starts with a surprisingly bold recommendation: turn off vibration mode—permanently. Even if your phone is "muted," vibration keeps your brain on high alert. Removing it creates true silence and removes the physical stimulus that pulls you out of focus. He also stresses the importance of auditing every app notification you have. Most people tap "Allow" without thinking, and developers take full advantage of that. Mark insists you go through each app and ask: Does this notification serve me? Or is it another distraction stealing my focus? In most cases, you'll turn off 90% of them. A Notification Is a Demand for Your Attention: If your phone decides what you do next, you're not in control—your apps are. Advanced Techniques for Managing Digital Distractions Beyond simple notification hygiene, we explore more powerful ways to reinforce boundaries. 1. Use Focus Modes Intentionally Newer smartphones allow you to block almost everything while allowing a short list of apps or people through. It turns your phone into a calmer, quieter version of itself—ideal for deep work. 2. Block Websites at the Router Level Michael shares how he blocks entire sites like Facebook or news apps from his entire home network. This prevents drifting into distraction, no matter which device he picks up. 3. Silence Individual Contacts If someone sends constant memes or random texts, you can mute their message sounds without blocking them. Messages still arrive, but they don't interrupt your work. These tools aren't "nanny features"—they're modern essentials for managing digital distractions in a tech-saturated world. Social Media Boundaries: Build the Muscle, Not the Habit One area where many people struggle is social media consumption. Mark shares that he only spends 3–4 intentional minutes on platforms like X or Instagram before moving on. How? He uses scheduling tools—Meta Business Suite, Buffer, TikTok Studio—to create content in batches and avoid the endless scroll. His rule is simple: Use social media as a tool, Not as a default habit. And if he's with people in person? The phone goes away—no exceptions. If someone picks up their phone mid-conversation, he stops talking or walks away. For Mark, presence is respect. True Focus Requires Presence: Being fully present strengthens your attention—even when you're not working. The AI Overload Problem We also explore a growing concern: the overuse of AI tools as substitutes for real thinking. Mark notes that people are starting to treat AI chatbots like best friends, therapists, or decision-makers. The risks include: Reduced mental engagement Outsourcing problem-solving Losing the ability to think deeply Feeling "validated" by an algorithm programmed to agree with you Studies show that too much AI reliance leads to dramatically lower cognitive activity, essentially putting the brain into a passive state. Managing digital distractions now includes managing AI—and knowing when to step away. Why One-on-One Coaching Works Best Mark explains that when it comes to overcoming distraction and productivity issues, individual coaching surpasses group settings. In groups, people hold back. They don't want coworkers or managers hearing their real struggles—especially when those struggles involve digital habits. One-on-one conversations create a safe space for honesty, clarity, and real change. He even offers a free Productivity Scorecard on his website to help people understand their strengths and weaknesses. But he emphasizes: awareness is only the first step. Improvement requires action. Ending the Day Right: A Shutdown Routine for Fewer Distractions Tomorrow Mark ends with one of his most powerful recommendations: a shutdown routine. This routine creates an intentional gap between screens and sleep—a crucial part of managing digital distractions at night. His routine includes: Turning off screens at a set time Listening to calming music Journaling a few final thoughts Reading a book Going to sleep with a quiet, settled mind A rested brain resists distraction better, thinks more clearly, and starts the next day stronger. Better Sleep = Better Focus: Managing digital distractions starts with how you unplug at night. Managing digital distractions isn't about rejecting technology—it's about using it on your terms. With the right boundaries, tools, and habits, you can reclaim your focus, protect your time, and build a healthier relationship with the digital world around you.

Dani sits down with Lara J. Day, creator of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle, to explore the ritual's Steiner-influenced origins, the homemade deck that became a published offering, and the uncanny clarity that emerges when we track the 13 nights that bridge solstice and the new year. Dani + Lara dig into the real-deal roots of the holiday season — beneath the consumptive chaos — along with the expanded new edition, Lara's courses and meditations, and the synchronicities that show up when we slow down enough to actually listen.

The fitness industry tells women that the more skin they show, the more they'll grow; but what happens when a 24-year-old influencer proves that philosophy wrong? Leana Deeb shares her radical decision to transition from revealing fitness content to becoming GymShark's first modest fitness ambassador. This raw conversation also opens up about chasing external validation and why women don't feel safe in their own bodies, connecting the dots between constant appearance anxiety and physiological stress responses.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg  Download the “Uplift You“ app here: https://bit.ly/4irZ6ZW Connect with Leana Deeb Website: https://bit.ly/48cBchK YouTube: https://bit.ly/4ajGlG4 Instagram: https://bit.ly/48AaO0i TikTok: https://bit.ly/4plsFP Facebook: https://bit.ly/4pM5UnP LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/48HyfWu Thank you to our partners H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP: JOIN AND GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn CARAWAY: “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S RHO NUTRITION: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 03:35 Leana Deeb's Health Journey 08:27 Understanding God's Divine Purpose 14:25 Impact of Faith, Connection, and Community 18:10 Core Pillars of Islam 25:33 Stop Searching for External Validation 31:54 Typical Day for Leana Deeb 36:26 The Uplift You Community 40:59 Material Success Does Not Equate to Actual Success  42:37 Supplementation and Daily Routines 48:56 Intention of Journaling and Practicing Gratitude 53:48 Discipline vs. Motivation 1:05:32 Psychological Cost of Not Living Authentically 1:08:04 What does it mean to you to be an Ultimate Human?

I sat down with Oliver Mann — 30+ years deep in the journaling world, a keeper of stories, a guide for the brave — to explore the REAL reason journaling works.Spoiler: it's not the pen. It's not the page.It's YOU. Your courage. Your SELF-honesty. Your willingness to stop hiding from your own reflection.This conversation is an initiation into radical authenticity — the kind that doesn't perform, doesn't pretend, doesn't negotiate its OWN truth.We go into masculine + feminine energies, the myth of “doing it right,” the lies judgment tells us, + the liberation that comes from writing what you're REALLY thinking.If you're ready to stop performing + start becoming, this episode is your invitation to write yourSELF free. Write your truth. OWN your truth. Become the one who transforms your OWN life — word by word, breath by breath, page by page.SOME WORDS ARE GIFTS:Journaling is a TOOL — but YOU are the transformation.Authenticity requires dropping judgment, masks, + performance.Self-awareness means nothing without action to match it.Masculine + feminine energies are FLUID — not fixed — and learning your inner rhythm creates inner harmony.Your humanity is not a flaw… It's the curriculum.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFIND OLIVER ON:IGWEBOLIVER'S 5-DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: ⁠https://www.shadowjournaling.com/new-story-challenge⁠CHECK OUT: My Beautiful Guided + Illustrated Journal YOU ARE THE PATH: https://www.roxannesaffaie.com/journal My Upcoming Self-Directed Journaling Webinar: https://roxannesaffaie.myflodesk.com/webinarFREE RESOURCES:

You know your expertise inside and out. You've got proven processes that deliver real results. But here's the problem: your business only grows as fast as you can personally deliver. Sound familiar? This week's guest, Ryan Musselman, cracked the code on something most service business owners struggle with—creating systems that scale your expertise without making everything feel automated and soulless. The Custom GPT Framework That Saves 15+ Hours Per Week Ryan didn't just throw ChatGPT at his content problem. He built an interconnected ecosystem of custom GPTs that generate stories, case studies, and sales copy that actually sounds human. Here's what makes his approach different: each GPT knows exactly what it's supposed to do, how it should sound, and what outcomes to deliver. The result? Content that scales without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Why Your AI Content Sounds Like a Robot (And How to Fix It) Most business owners try AI once, hate the generic output, and give up. Ryan shares his process for identifying the telltale phrases that scream "this was written by AI" and systematically eliminating them from his system. This isn't a one-time setup—it's a continuous improvement loop that gets better with each iteration. Sound like someone's approach you know? The Onboarding System That Catches Problems Before They're Expensive Here's where it gets really interesting for service businesses: Ryan built a centralized feedback system that gathers client input from day one. No more wondering if your onboarding process has friction points. No more clients silently struggling with parts of your program. Instead, you get immediate visibility into what's working and what needs adjustment—before small issues become big problems that cost you clients. What Actually Matters When You're Building a Business In a refreshingly honest moment, Ryan pulls back the curtain on his personal systems for maintaining perspective. Daily exercise. Journaling. Prayer. These aren't just nice-to-haves—they're the foundation that keeps him from getting lost in the weeds of running a 7-figure coaching business. Because here's the truth: the best systems in the world won't matter if you burn out trying to implement them. The Most Valuable Insight There's no single "right way" to grow a service business. Ryan's systems work brilliantly for him, but the real lesson isn't about copying his exact approach. It's about finding the systems and processes that align with your personality and strengths. Some coaches thrive on intimate, high-touch relationships with a small group of clients. Others excel at scaling through group programs and automation. Both can build highly successful businesses—they just require different systems. Why This Matters for Your Business If you're running a service-based business and feel stuck at your current revenue ceiling, chances are it's not a strategy problem. It's a systems problem. Ryan's approach shows you how to: Leverage AI without losing the human touch that makes your business special Build feedback loops that help you improve continuously Create operational systems that free up your time instead of consuming it Stay grounded in what actually matters while scaling This episode is packed with practical, implementable ideas you can test in your business this week. No fluff. No theory. Just real systems from someone who's already figured out what works at scale. Listen now to discover how to build magnetic systems that help your business grow without requiring you to clone yourself.Want help designing systems that make your business more effective? Let's talk about creating feedback loops that catch problems early and turn your team into problem solvers.Learn more about working together.

Feeling creatively blocked — like there's a song or idea trying to reach you, but life, doubt, and mental noise keep getting in the way? This week, we're talking about how to quiet the noise so you can finally hear your creative voice again. Whether you're returning to music, beginning a new season, or sensing a shift in your artistry, the whisper is always there… it's just hard to hear when everything else is louder. And I'll be honest — this episode wasn't the one I planned. I tried recording it several times, but nothing flowed. Too much noise, too much pressure, not enough space. So instead, we're talking about exactly that: what dissolves creative blocks and brings you back to clarity. You'll learn three essential practices every singer-songwriter needs when inspiration feels far away: Journaling — clear the clutter and reconnect with your inner voice Vocal Improvisation — play, explore, and find melody without pressure Creative Play / Artist's Date — spark inspiration and reset your creative system Plus, I'll share a simple journaling prompt — “The Song You Haven't Written Yet” — to help you uncover what's been trying to come through. If you're overwhelmed, stuck, or longing to reconnect with your creativity, this episode will help you find the quiet you need to hear yourself again.

Intentional Discipleship – Small Circles, Big Impact | Steve McCoy To view Small Circles Resources visit: https://www.smallcircle.com/  The recipe for a culture of discipleship requires some indispensable ingredients and among the essentials are two primary components: intentional strategy and tools. Without these, a culture is rarely developed and disciple making is left to random chance and this is a predicament that smallcircle aims to resolve by providing tools designed to catalyze a one-to-one disciple-making culture within local churches. Join Bobby Harrington (Discipleship.org Founder and Executive Director) as he interacts with Steve McCoy who is a senior pastor and the visionary behind small circle.

McCoy discusses his journey from church planting to leading a thriving congregation that emphasizes intentional discipleship. Central to this approach is the concept of the '360 Church,' represented by three circles: large weekend worship gatherings, mid-sized small groups, and intimate one-on-one or micro-group discipleship settings. This method aims to replicate Jesus' relational disciple-making style, fostering deeper connections and spiritual growth among church members. McCoy outlines the various levels of discipleship at 360 Church, such as congregational worship, deeper discussions in small groups, and highly personalized one-on-one discipleship relationships. He also introduces a discipleship tool called 'Small Circle,' which is available for free on mobile apps and features a range of resources structured to ease everyday people into disciple-making roles. The tool includes detailed lesson plans, scripture, memory verses, and methods for fostering a strong relational depth. The discussion further goes into the importance of practical tools in empowering individuals like 'truck driver Ted' to become effective disciple-makers. Steve McCoy emphasizes the necessity of providing everyday church members with the confidence and resources to engage in discipleship, thereby creating a movement within the church community. Today's video promotes the logical use of discipleship tools that go beyond mere information transfer to achieve life transformation and relational depth. This video is a must-watch for church leaders, pastors, and anyone interested in practical disciple-making strategies. Tune in to learn how intentional and relational discipleship can transform both individuals and entire church communities. We would be honored if you would share this video, to grow our mission of equipping the church to make disciples.

A quasi-milestone hittin' 160 tonight. Nice round number for which to hang our hats on. Thanksgiving is over & done with & we seamlessly segued right into red & green tinsel with bows, snow & wrapping paper. Christmas lights that twinkle on high. We decorated & we decorated early. This being our 2nd Annual Christmas Recovery Season at Talkin' Trash, we thought we'd get out in front of the Christmas rush & since Thanksgiving's over, we can officially decorate for Christmas. Our topic tonight was "Surviving the Holiday's". We shared different coping mechanisms & safeguards against being an inactive participant in the holiday festivities which quickly leads to isolation. Journaling, gratitude lists, prayer & meditation and maintaining a positive outlook despite whatever pile of shits being dumped on your boots. There's so many anniversary dates for brothers and sisters in recovery, between November-December-January 1st. Many and more got clean during the holiday season. You'll never forget that first rehab, 6 days in detox, completely lost and making bead bracelets into Christmas tree ornaments while contemplating an epic AMA for the ages. But if you stayed strong, took the suggestions, by the time your month-long tenure is complete, you can think clearly, remember things quickly & accurately. You're you again and given some time, you'll wonder where that witty, intelligent, funny person was all that time.

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it’s a lifestyle. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 calls us to “rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances,” showing that gratitude should be our daily posture. From small blessings like a morning cup of coffee to the vast gifts of God’s love, cultivating a heart of thankfulness transforms our perspective, lifts our spirits, and strengthens our relationship with Him. From all of us at Lifeaudio and Salem Media, Happy Thanksgiving. Highlights Gratitude is a daily choice, not a seasonal habit. Starting small—like noting one thing you’re thankful for each morning—can shift your mindset. Counting blessings outweighs burdens and fosters joy and contentment. God’s goodness and provision remain constant, even when circumstances are difficult. Journaling or listing gifts of God can deepen awareness of His work in your life. Practicing gratitude strengthens your heart, aligns your perspective with God’s will, and brings joy. God delights when His children acknowledge His blessings and rely on Him daily.

Full Transcript Below: Giving Thanks Isn’t a Day—It’s a Daily Posture By: Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV Here in the United States of America, the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us.It is a time to practice gratitude and share what we are thankful for in this life. Often during this time of year, people tend to be more appreciative and count their blessings from God. But giving thanks shouldn’t be an occasional event; it should be a daily posture. I’d like to share a story illustration that I heard a little while ago: A husband told his grumpy wife, who was feeling ungrateful every day, that she should give thanks for what she has. He presented a challenge: Every morning when you go to the kitchen to make your coffee, name one thing you are grateful for, then write it on a piece of paper and put that paper into this glass jar before you drink your coffee. His wife was angry at him, but followed his instructions, and for the first few days, all she could write was “coffee,” but a few days later, she realized that she also appreciated the sunlight. So, she put “sunshine” on the paper, and a day after that, she thought of something else and wrote it down. Before long, the jar was filled with notes of what she was grateful for, and her entire mood had lifted. Her mentality improved. As her gratitude grew, so did her positive attitude. My maternal grandma told me many years ago, “Gratitude will change your attitude. Take inventory of your blessings.” Her words ring true for me to this day. She was a wise woman. She was right because I found that when I remember to count my blessings instead of my burdens, I feel better as I realize how my blessings outweigh my burdens. When I focus on what’s going right in my life instead of what went wrong, I naturally start giving thanks to God. The Bible says that God wants us to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This means that no matter what we face, we need to look for the silver lining. I believe that God can restore the most broken places and people in our lives when we put our hope in Him (Romans 8:28). Sometimes, we don’t see the resolution until we go home to Heaven. But no matter what happens here on Earth, the truth is that God is good all the time and He has good plans for our lives. He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). Thanks to God’s Son (Jesus Christ), we have the hope of eternity with our Creator when we put our faith in Him (Romans 10:13). There’s always something or someone to be grateful for, even if you are just happy that your heart is still beating or if you, like the woman in the story illustration above, are only grateful for your daily cup of coffee. Well then, that’s a start! Ann Voskamp wrote a book, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. Toward the end of it is a challenge for the reader to write one thousand things that they are grateful for. I accepted this challenge promptly by going to a Christian bookstore and buying a beautiful journal covered in a purple and pink design, then writing down what I was grateful for several times a week. My first entry in this journal was made on February 28, 2011. I wrote “Rainy days”. My last entry was made on September 23, 2017: “God’s love” being the thousandth thing I was grateful for that day. It most likely won’t take you six years to complete this gratitude challenge but I believe it will be worth it. When we give thanks to God, it strengthens our heart and soul. When we pray to Him and ask Him to meet our every need, He does so in His perfect time. When we thank Him for His provision, I believe it makes His heart smile and perhaps fills God with gratitude for creating humankind. So, as this Thanksgiving season is here, let’s pause at least once a day and think about all we are grateful for, then thank God for all of it and more. Such a practice will fill our hearts with joy and help us remember that our God is good all year round. In closing, I’d like you to listen to these songs: Song of Reflection #1: “Counting My Blessings” by Seph Schlueter. Song of Reflection #2: “Gratitude” by Brandon Lake. Song of Reflection #3: “Thank You” by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. Intersecting Faith & Life: Have you tried giving thanks in all things?

What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

“Can you really be thankful when your heart is breaking?”In this powerful Thanksgiving episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa and LaWayna open up about navigating grief during the holidays and how gratitude can coexist with pain. From personal stories of loss to a helicopter ride filled with fear and prayer, they share authentic perspectives on reframing, community, and starting small gratitude practices that help bring calm to an overwhelmed mind.Whether you're grieving someone you love, struggling financially, or just feeling disconnected heading into the holidays—this conversation will remind you that you're not alone, and you can hold grief and grace at the same time.Quotes worth remembering● “You can absolutely have gratitude and be grieving at the same time—we are complicated human beings.” – LaWayna ● “Sometimes instead of asking ‘What am I grateful for?' ask ‘What do I have?'” – Teresa● “When we slow down and breathe, even for two minutes, the body begins to restore.” – Teresa● “I told the Lord, help your little sad child today.” – LaWayna ● “Maybe start with the ungrateful list before the grateful one.” – LaWayna Topics Covered● Navigating grief during the holiday season● How gratitude affects our brain chemistry and cortisol levels● Different gratitude practices (journaling, prayer, spoken word, connection)● The power of community in healing (AA, friendships, families)● Reframing and slowing down to be present● Adventuring outside comfort zones as an act of livingKey Takeaways● You can hold both grief and gratitude at the same time. Healing doesn't require pretending you're okay.● Starting small helps: Even a 2-minute breathing or gratitude moment can help reduce stress.● There is no one right way to practice gratitude. Journaling, prayer, speaking, community—find what works for you.● Reframing can shift mental state. Sometimes “What do I have?” is easier than “What am I grateful for?”● Getting emotions out (even the negative ones) may help. Try writing an “ungrateful list” before moving into gratitude. Suggested Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Thanksgiving intro02:13 – Acknowledging current struggles (financial, loss, food scarcity)05:04 – Josh's gratitude practice through AA community07:02 – Holding grief and gratitude together11:19 – Scientific impact of gratitude (dopamine, serotonin)14:25 – How grief floods the body with cortisol17:07 – Breathing practice and beginning with 2 minutes22:49 – Helicopter moment: prayer, fear, and reframing27:30 – “What do I have?” as a gratitude entry point28:00 – Ungrateful list exercise29:18 – Tool announcement for listeners30:21 – Thanksgiving photos & family traditions32:21 – Closing remarks & listener engagementMentions & Shoutouts● AA Support Group – demonstrating accountability and morning gratitude list.Episode Extras●

In this episode I talk with Ronda Bonfanti, an IFS client, memoirist, and self-described "IFS cheerleader," who reached out to me earlier this year to share her beautiful memoir, Talk to the Trees: From CPTSD to Loving Me. Ronda has been on a healing journey for more than 25 years. She's done "all the therapies," read over 250 self-help books, and spent years trying to understand why she felt so broken inside, even though her life looked beautiful on the outside. When she found IFS, something finally clicked. We explore: Her early years in therapy and why CBT helped a little but never stuck How discovering IFS gave her a whole new relationship with her inner world Writing her memoir with the support of Frank Anderson and Lissa Rankin The healing power of humor and why she sees it as medicine Journaling as a doorway into parts work What it means to write a letter to shame  Loneliness on the healing path, and her longing to build IFS-aligned community Her dream to combine IFS and pickleball  She also reads one of my favorite chapters from her memoir — a hilarious, moving piece about her early days in therapy, banana splits, and her first meeting with Dr. Frank Anderson.  Ronda is one of those guests who reminds me why we do this work. Her story is tender, courageous, and full of hope. It's a perfect episode for a holiday week. Learn more about Ronda here.

What if one simple rhythm could reshape the way you see your days, your relationships, and even your walk with God? What if gratitude isn’t just a feeling but a flavor that transforms everything it touches? That’s the heart behind my conversation with Jeremy A. Taylor on The Love Offering Podcast this week. Jeremy’s new book, Gratitude Flavors Everything You Do, is a gentle companion designed to help you pause, notice God’s goodness, and cultivate a posture of thankfulness in the middle of real life. In our episode, Jeremy and I talk about how gratitude can soften our attitudes, strengthen our relationships, and anchor us when life feels hurried or heavy. We explore how a thankful heart doesn’t ignore hard things—it finds God in them. I’d love for you to listen and consider beginning your own gratitude rhythm—morning, evening, or whenever you can breathe in God’s goodness. Let’s welcome each day with hearts attuned to God’s presence—and let gratitude flavor everything we do.

Sometimes the things we love most can actually get in the way of connecting with God. In this clip from the Lead Well Conference, I share a personal story about how even journaling—something I teach and cherish—was keeping me from spending time with the Lord the way I really wanted. If you've ever felt like your "good habits" or spiritual routines are keeping you from truly engaging with God, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through a small shift I made that helped me listen to God more authentically throughout my day—and how you can do the same.   >> Book Kari for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 176: My Biggest Tip for Beating Perfectionism in Journaling ·       Episode 144: How to Create Both a Short and Long Journaling Routine ·       Episode 76: Have a Hard Time Sensing God's Presence?
