Before Christmas, I asked you to send me one photograph from 2025. Not necessarily what you consider to be your best, not your most liked, and not something measured against anyone else in either competition or social media terms. Just the picture that said to you, "This was my 2025." The one you kept coming back to. My plan was to invite ten photographers to the first episode of 2026 to talk about their pictures and the why behind them. Over a hundred arrived, each with a story attached, and it quickly became clear that with the compelling stories you sent in, we'd need to spread this across two editions, and so that is where we are. As I spoke to the people behind these pictures, the conversations opened out into how we see, why we photograph, and what was going on in life when the shutter was pressed. This episode is the first half of those conversations. Unrushed, unscripted, and simply photographers talking about images that meant something to them, and by extension, saying a little about themselves.  David Wright reflects on serenity in photography through an image that feels like an emotional time capsule. John Charlton talks about a Northern Lights photograph whose meaning runs far deeper than the light in the sky. Wayne Richards joins me on the path to talk about a rag tied to a railing that all but demanded to be photographed. Kim Cofield shares thoughtful advice drawn from her experience of making animal portraits, and Mark Creamer looks back on a photograph made in the middle of a disaster zone. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

But I didn't want to hurt you."Hi: कुछ वक्त के लिए सब चुप रहे।En: For a moment, everyone was silent.Hi: फिर अनन्या बोली, "भैया, अगर ये तुम्हारा सपना है, तो हमें भी तुम्हारे साथ होना चाहिए।En: Then Ananya said, "Brother, if this is your dream, we should be with you.Hi: खुद को रोको मत।"En: Don't hold yourself back."Hi: प्रिया ने गहरी साँस लेते हुए कहा, "हम जानते हैं कि तुम्हारी अपनी जिंदगी है।En: Taking a deep breath, Priya said, "We know you have your own life.Hi: हमें गर्व है तुम पर।En: We are proud of you.Hi: जाओ, अपना सपना पूरा करो,En: Go, fulfill your dream.Hi: हम मिलकर दुकान संभाल लेंगे।"En: We will manage the shop together."Hi: उसके बाद का नजारा भावुकता से भरा था।En: The scene that followed was full of emotion.Hi: रोहन ने पहली बार महसूस किया कि उसका परिवार उसे पीछे खींच नहीं रहा था, बल्कि उसके पंखों को उड़ान देने की तैयारी में था।En: For the first time, Rohan felt that his family wasn't holding him back but was preparing to let his wings soar.Hi: रोहन रात में आकाश की ओर देखते हुए सोचा, "मेरे सपनों का आकाश अब खुला है।En: Looking at the sky at night, he thought, "The sky of my dreams is now open.Hi: मैं चाहता हूँ कि जब लौटूँ तो मेरे पास नए अनुभव और किस्से हों, जिन्हें मैं अपनी माँ और अनन्या के साथ साझा कर सकूँ।"En: I want to return with new experiences and stories to share with my mother and Ananya."Hi: उसने फैसला किया कि दुनिया देखने का मतलब अपने परिवार से दूरी बनाना नहीं, बल्कि उनके प्यार को साथ ले जाना है।En: He realized that seeing the world didn't mean distancing himself from his family but taking their love along with him.Hi: उस एक क्षण में उसे विश्वास हो गया कि वह अपने जड़ से बंधा रहकर भी अपने सपनों को ऊँचाई दे सकता है।En: In that one moment, he became confident that he could stay rooted while giving flight to his dreams.

Story Transcript:Sr: Светлуцај звезда огледао се у сненом пејзажу Копаоника.En: The twinkle of the stars was reflected in the snowy landscape of Kopaonik.Sr: Ветар је тихо шумио кроз борове, док су новогодишње лампице трепериле на прозорима планинског одмаралишта.En: The wind softly rustled through the pines, while New Year's lights twinkled on the windows of the mountain resort.Sr: Унутра, у топлом загрљају дрвеног ентеријера, породица се полако окупљала око Божићног стола.En: Inside, in the warm embrace of the wooden interior, the family slowly gathered around the Christmas table.Sr: Мирис клинчића и цимета испуњавао је ваздух док су се звукови смеха и разговора мешали са пуцкетањем ватре из камина.En: The scent of cloves and cinnamon filled the air as the sounds of laughter and conversation mixed with the crackling of the fireplace.Sr: Милош је седео у углу, посматрајући вољене особе како су у веселој атмосфери.En: Miloš sat in the corner, watching his loved ones as they enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere.Sr: Иако му је било драго што је са породицом, у оку Милошеве душе лежала је сенка.En: Although he was glad to be with his family, a shadow lay in the depths of Miloš's soul.Sr: Притисак породичних очекивања био је тежак камен који је носио на леђима.En: The pressure of family expectations was a heavy stone he carried on his back.Sr: Увек су га учили да успешна каријера значи сигурност и углед, али Милош је имао другачије снове.En: He had always been taught that a successful career meant security and reputation, but Miloš had different dreams.Sr: Драгана, његова старија сестра, приметила је његову тихост и пришла му је.En: Dragana, his older sister, noticed his silence and approached him.Sr: „Милоше,“ рекла је, „Зашто си тако замишљен?En: "Miloš," she said, "Why are you so thoughtful?"Sr: “Милош је уздахнуо.En: Miloš sighed.Sr: „Нисам сигуран да мој пут води тамо где би желели.En: "I'm not sure my path leads where you would like."Sr: “Ана, њихова мајка, додала је одоздо са стола: „Желимо само да видимо да си срећан и успешан.En: Ana, their mother, added from across the table, "We just want to see you happy and successful."Sr: “Тада је дошло време за Божићну вечеру.En: Then it was time for the Christmas dinner.Sr: Док је хладна зимска ноћ околно врхове планина покрила белим велом, породица се окупила око стола.En: As the cold winter night covered the surrounding mountain peaks with a white veil, the family gathered around the table.Sr: Свеће су трепериле, а стари породични рецепти поделили су загревајући дух пробуђених сећања.En: Candles flickered, and old family recipes shared the warming spirit of awakened memories.Sr: У том трeну Милош је осетио да је време да проговори.En: At that moment, Miloš felt it was time to speak.Sr: Срце му је лупало брзо, али одлучио је да јасно изнесе оно што га мучи.En: His heart was pounding fast, but he decided to clearly express what was troubling him.Sr: „Морам да вам кажем нешто“, почео је, хватајући погледе својих најмилијих.En: "I have to tell you something," he began, catching the eyes of his loved ones.Sr: „Постоји пут, другачији од оног који сте замислили.En: "There is a path different from the one you imagined.Sr: Желим сам да следим свој сан и видим где ће ме он одвести.En: I want to follow my own dream and see where it takes me."Sr: “Настао је тренутак тишине.En: There was a moment of silence.Sr: Унутрашња борба била је очигледна у њиховим очима, али Ана је прва сломила зид мисли.En: The inner struggle was evident in their eyes, but Ana was the first to break the wall of thoughts.Sr: „Шта год да одлучиш, Милоше, ми ћемо увек бити уз тебе.En: "Whatever you decide, Miloš, we will always be with you.Sr: Важно је да си предан ономе што волиš.En: It's important that you are dedicated to what you love."Sr: “После вечере, док је снег и даље тихо падао, Милош је изашао на терасу.En: After dinner, as the snow continued to fall quietly, Miloš stepped out onto the terrace.Sr: Осетио је како са врхова планине долази свежина, али сада је та свежина доносила нову снагу и јасноћу.En: He felt the freshness coming from the mountain peaks, but now that freshness brought new strength and clarity.Sr: По први пут у дуго времена, није био сам.En: For the first time in a long while, he was not alone.Sr: Породица је ипак била уз њега, спремна да га подржи, чак и ако његови кораци крећу другачијим путем.En: His family was indeed with him, ready to support him, even if his steps took a different path.Sr: Звезде су светлуцале над планином, као светлећи путокази ка непознатим могућностима које је Милош једва чекао да истражи.En: Stars twinkled over the mountain, like shining guides to unknown possibilities that Miloš was eager to explore.Sr: Са осмехом на лицу и истином у срцу, он је осетио да је нашao свој пут ка успеху – на начин који је био његов, и само његов.En: With a smile on his face and truth in his heart, he felt he had found his path to success – in a way that was his, and only his.

In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, Sione and Alana sit down with author Darrow Kirkpatrick to explore the life lessons behind his powerful memoir, Two Sticks, One Path: A Journey Beyond Fear on the Colorado Trail. Darrow is an early-retired civil and software engineer with a lifelong passion for outdoor adventure. Over six years, he section-hiked the rugged, almost 500-mile Colorado Trail—one of the highest and most demanding long-distance trails in the United States. And he did it while managing significant physical limitations, hiking on specialized forearm crutches, and working through lifelong anxiety and the lingering effects of past mental health struggles. Darrow's book, Two Stick, One Path, weaves together things like high-stakes climbing stories from Yosemite, the tension between personal goals and family life, spiritual growth through meditation, and the reality of pushing through fear when the mountains and life feel overwhelming. In our conversation, we talk about preparation, mindfulness, and how we sometimes kill our courage worrying about things that could happen, even though they probably won't. We also talk about how choosing to face difficulty on purpose helped him retrain his mind, rebuild confidence, and reshape the way he sees his life and capabilities. And you'll want to stick around until the end where Alana highlights and talks about several powerful takeaways from Darrow's story that can help you navigate and manage your own fears with more confidence, move forward with greater courage, and see your path with more clarity. IN THIS EPISODE: What Darrow Kirkpatrick learned while hiking the almost 500-mile Colorado Trail with forearm crutches How he worked through lifelong anxiety and fear on the trail Why worrying about unlikely dangers can hold us back The difference between healthy and wise preparation and overthinking How meditation and mindfulness supported his journey Practical lessons and success principles for building courage and confidence in everyday life LINKS MENTIONED: Darrow's website: https://trailmemoir.com/ Get Two Sticks, One Path: https://amzn.to/4oClGRg (using this link will support this channel as well as Jamal at no extra cost to you) ------------------------------------------------------------------- For our latest insights and things we don't share with the public, become a Sione and Alana Insider.

Send us a textEpisode 695: From Threesomes to Non-Monogamy: One Man's Journey Beyond Jealousy and Shame with author Adam Darrow about his edgy, honest, and raw memoir "Seek the Risk" (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3KrboVRWhen Adam Darrow met Jane at forty, he thought he was the adventurous one. After all, he'd spent his twenties competing in extreme sports and had explored threesomes—that made him pretty edgy, right? Then Jane, a PhD psychologist who spoke five languages, told him she didn't do boyfriends (and she meant it). Drawing from his background in extreme sports, Darrow spent two and a half years transitioning into non-monogamy, followed by three challenging years of emotional work before finding equilibrium. The journey wasn't easy. When Jane publicly announced their arrangement on Facebook in 2009, Darrow watched his life wildly transform. His best friend called him derogatory names. But over time, he discovered something unexpected: jealousy could be channeled into motivation to become a better partner. What initially felt emasculating became an opportunity to overcome deep-seated insecurities like imposter syndrome and validation-seeking.His memoir chronicles this transformative experience through vulnerable storytelling that includes explicit extreme sexual details and uncomfortable emotional truths, as well as healing and growth. How did keeping emotions bottled up nearly break him? The book explores that question while advocating for moving beyond societal shame around sexuality, relationship conformity, and focusing on personal authenticity rather than rigid beliefs about relationships.Estimated Timeline:  Adam Darrow's Journey Into Non-Monogamy00:03:40 - PhD Psychologist with Unconventional Past00:06:43 - Extreme Sports Skills Applied to Non-Monogamy00:09:13 - Separating Sex from Emotion in Relationships00:19:57 - Managing Jealousy Through Don't Ask, Don't Tell00:22:26 - From Jealousy to Compersion in Open Relationships00:25:11 - Breaking Through Shame and Choosing Each Other00:28:42 - Walking the Beach: Questioning My Limits, book excerpt00:33:17 - Understanding Nesting Couples and Non-Monogamy00:39:43 - Letting Go of Control in Relationships00:46:22 - Vulnerability and Authenticity in Memoir Writing00:51:51 - Writing the Book and Her Reaction00:58:17 - Identity Beyond Sexual Acts, sexuality01:06:44 - Overcoming Jealousy Through Personal Growth01:11:27 - Healthy vs Unhealthy Jealousy in RelationshipsConnect with Adam Darrow: Link to the books website  www.seektherisk.netSubstack seektherisk.substhttps://payhip.com/RuanWillowBooks$0.99 books https://books.ruanwillowauthor.com/ninetyninecentsbookssales Support the showExclusives https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/subscribeNewsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillowhttps://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliates Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow BeeDee dating app https://beedee.app/?r=ohfuckyeahThe Fantasy Box DATE30 for $30 OFF 1st box https://thefantasybox.sjv.io/c/6250602/2141126/26423

In this episode, Ash and Dusty explore the concept of humility as a vital strength for people with ADHD. They discuss how humility differs from shame and self-deprecation and how it can help individuals manage the real impacts of ADHD symptoms, such as impulsivity and missed commitments, without falling into harsh self-judgment. Dusty shares how humility is an essential coaching tool that fosters cognitive flexibility, accountability, and authentic self-awareness, allowing clients to approach challenges with curiosity rather than ego or shame. The conversation also delves into how humility can counteract imposter syndrome and rejection sensitivity, common struggles for those with ADHD. By embracing humility, individuals can let go of perfectionistic standards, accept their imperfections alongside others', and build healthier relationships with themselves and those around them. Ash and Dusty emphasize the importance of modeling humility, owning mistakes honestly without shame, and understanding failure as a natural part of growth on the ADHD journey.

A transformative vision unfolds about the journey with God—a road where many start but few continue when distractions fade. Many seek God for blessings, healing, or prosperity, but once they receive it, they leave. The ones who go far are those who learn to desire Him alone. If your whole heart doesn't continue to seek Jesus, you will never truly find Him. Salvation is just the beginning, but there is depth to Christ that requires intentionality.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Beauty isn't a filter on life; it's a way to understand it, and ourselves. Jack sits down with Artist-photographer and author Erik Stensland to explore how a season of crushing burnout in the Balkans led him toward solitude, quiet attention, and a life reoriented by wonder in Rocky Mountain National Park. Together we unpack why silence feels unbearable at first, why many of us would rather hit the metaphorical shock button than face our inner world, and how a simple practice—ten phone-free minutes in a forest—can begin to settle the mind. Eric explains the difference between loneliness and chosen solitude, and how beauty, understood as goodness rather than glamour, becomes a practical guide for daily decisions. We also dive into desire: not suppressing it, not indulging it, but tracing it to the deeper longing for meaning, belonging, and purpose.If environmental news leaves you frozen, EriK offers a third path beyond doom and denial. Inspired by John Muir, he shows how falling in love with places fuels lasting care and healing... paying attention, telling small stories, buying less.Ready to test it for yourself? Put the phone away, take a quiet walk, and notice one true thing. If this conversation moves you, follow, share with a friend who needs a breath of fresh air, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to beauty.Visit Erik and Purchase "The Journey Beyond, Learning to Live Beautifully in a Troubled World" and the shipping is free:)Read Jack's Latest "Directing Our Passions and Desires to a Love that is Beautiful" Here are the links to Jack's Substack and  X https://x.com/JP2RenewalCheck out the Podcast on YouTubeContact me: info@jp2renew.orgSupport the show

more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-11-12-08-38-20-ca Story Transcript:Ca: El vent suau de la tardor feia ballar les fulles dels arbres, pintant el paisatge de Catalunya de tons d'ambre i escarlata.En: The gentle autumn wind made the leaves of the trees dance, painting the landscape of Catalunya in amber and scarlet tones.Ca: La masia d'Oriol era un refugi tranquil, rodejat de camps daurats que s'estenien fins on arribava la vista.En: La masia of Oriol was a tranquil refuge, surrounded by golden fields that stretched as far as the eye could see.Ca: L'olor de pa acabat de fer omplia l'aire, mentre Laia, la seva germana petita, passava hores preparant àpats saborosos per al seu germà convalescent.En: The smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, while Laia, his little sister, spent hours preparing flavorful meals for her convalescent brother.Ca: Oriol s'asseia a la butaca de la sala d'estar, amb la cama enlaire, mirant per la finestra.En: Oriol sat in the armchair in the living room, with his leg elevated, looking out the window.Ca: La recuperació de la seva cirurgia de genoll era més lenta del que havia esperat.En: The recovery from his knee surgery was slower than he had expected.Ca: Cada matí es despertava amb l'esperança d'una millora significativa, però cada dia l'entenia més clar: la recuperació requeria temps i paciència.En: Each morning he woke up hoping for a significant improvement, but each day he understood more clearly: recovery required time and patience.Ca: —Oriol, ja està a punt el dinar— va dir la Laia, entrant a l'estança amb un somriure radiant.En: "Oriol, lunch is ready," said Laia, entering the room with a radiant smile.Ca: —Gràcies, Laia.En: "Thank you, Laia.Ca: T'estic donant molta feina.En: I'm giving you a lot of work."Ca: La Laia, sempre optimista, li va contestar amb dolçor:—És un plaer cuidar-te.En: Laia, always optimistic, replied sweetly: "It's a pleasure to take care of you.Ca: I veuràs que, amb temps, podràs caminar sense problemes.En: And you'll see that, with time, you'll be able to walk without problems."Ca: Oriol volia creure les paraules de Laia, però la seva impaciència creixia com un gegant invisiblement.En: Oriol wanted to believe Laia's words, but his impatience grew like an invisibly giant.Ca: Un matí, després d'acabar els seus exercicis de rehabilitació, va decidir que havia arribat el moment de posar-se a prova.En: One morning, after finishing his rehabilitation exercises, he decided it was time to put himself to the test.Ca: Amb un esforç considerable, es va aixecar de la butaca, agafant-se a la paret per mantenir l'equilibri.En: With considerable effort, he stood up from the armchair, holding onto the wall to maintain balance.Ca: La Laia el va observar des de la cuina, amb un cor ple de preocupació i esperança.En: Laia watched him from the kitchen, her heart full of concern and hope.Ca: —Oriol!En: "Oriol!Ca: Estàs segur?En: Are you sure?"Ca: La seva veu suau el va fer dubtar un moment, però ell estava decidit a provar.En: Her gentle voice made him hesitate for a moment, but he was determined to try.Ca: Va fer un pas, després un altre.En: He took one step, then another.Ca: El genoll tremolava, i un dolor agut el va ferir.En: His knee trembled, and a sharp pain struck him.Ca: —Deixa'm ajudar-te— va insistir la Laia, acostant-se ràpidament.En: "Let me help you," Laia insisted, approaching swiftly.Ca: Dividit entre l'orgull i la necessitat, Oriol es va deixar caure curosament a la butaca.En: Torn between pride and necessity, Oriol carefully let himself fall back into the armchair.Ca: —Ho puc fer, però potser no avui— va admetre amb una resignació difícil.En: "I can do it, but maybe not today," he admitted with difficult resignation.Ca: La Laia li va somriure, posant una mà sobre la seva espatlla:—Encara tenim temps, Oriol.En: Laia smiled at him, placing a hand on his shoulder: "We still have time, Oriol.Ca: No cal córrer.En: There's no need to rush."Ca: Aquella tarda, mentre el sol es ponia darrere dels camps, Oriol va reflexionar sobre les seves accions i el malestar suau encara persistent al seu genoll.En: That afternoon, as the sun set behind the fields, Oriol reflected on his actions and the still persistent mild discomfort in his knee.Ca: Finalment, va entendre que no estava sol en aquesta travessia.En: Finally, he realized he was not alone on this journey.Ca: La seva germana no només l'ajudava físicament, sinó que li donava el suport emocional que tant necessitava.En: His sister not only helped him physically but also provided the emotional support he so desperately needed.Ca: Amb els dies següents, Oriol va començar a acceptar l'ajuda de Laia amb un cor més obert.En: In the following days, Oriol began to accept Laia's help with a more open heart.Ca: Va aprendre a valorar els àpats que ella preparava, les converses al voltant de la taula i les tardes de jocs i rialles sota el sostre acollidor de la masia.En: He learned to appreciate the meals she prepared, the conversations around the table, and the afternoons of games and laughter under the welcoming roof of la masia.Ca: Finalment, Oriol es va adonar que la paciència no era només una virtut, sinó un camí cap a la veritable força.En: Eventually, Oriol realized that patience was not just a virtue but a path to true strength.Ca: Gràcies a Laia, la seva recuperació es va convertir en una aventura compartida, reforçant el vincle entre germans.En: Thanks to Laia, his recovery became a shared adventure, strengthening the bond between

*Please note, today's guest will remain anonymous to protect her privacy.“We're supposed to be constant caregivers. And we're supposed to do that even when it makes our lives really difficult...this constant caregiving as what a good person, a good nurse, a good doctor, a good woman, a good mother would do is setting expectations that are just not attainable in modern life.”Alongside the upcoming release of her book, Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations, on January 27, 2026, Dr. Reid is creating a space for authentic discussions and stories about the experience of guilt across the various roles women inhabit:* As mothers balancing family needs with personal aspirations* As daughters navigating complex family dynamics* As friends trying to show up meaningfully in others' lives* As partners working to maintain healthy relationships* In careers while striving for work-life harmonyIn this episode, she sits down with an ICU nurse who's been through it all: night shifts, day shifts, burnout, and everything in between. She opens up about what it really feels like when you realize, “oh my gosh, I'm burnt out”—and more importantly, the guilt that comes with it.The Comparison Trap“All day, I would be like, so-and-so is handling this so much better than I do,” she shares. “Or how is it that so-and-so not only has time to get her work done, but to help everybody else and is so generous with that help when I am constantly so overwhelmed by my own work?”Sound familiar? We dig into why comparison becomes such a crushing weight and introduce a key framework from the book Guilt Free: guilt is the mismatch between our expectations of ourselves and how well we believe we're meeting them.Find Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd, LinkedIn, and YouTubeYou can also preorder Dr. Reid's book, Guilt Free!

How powerful is your comfort zone? And what effect does it really have on your life?The very word comfort evokes warmth and security — a sense of being settled. But if you think deeper, you'll discover that comfort zones are one of life's greatest traps. They keep us confined to the familiar — to the status quo, to inertia.Every genuine form of growth — personal, emotional, or spiritual — happens only when we step beyond that zone. Growth doesn't have to come through pain or loss; it simply means moving beyond where you are right now. That's the essence of transformation. That's metamorphosis.Paradoxically, the secret to all growth lies in discomfort — in daring to leave what feels safe.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson as we explore this vital truth about growth and discover how to break free from the limits of the familiar, awaken your true potential, and begin living the life your soul is meant to lead.

When Irene Gomez stepped into her role as director at the J Center for Early Learning in El Paso, Texas, she carried what so many new leaders do: hyper-responsibility, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be the “hero” in every situation.In this episode, Irene shares her journey inside the Schools of Excellence coaching program and the transformation that followed—from chasing fires and working late nights, to leading with clarity, boundaries, and trust.You'll hear how a calendar became her leadership lifeline, how gratitude reshaped her staff culture, and how self-trust shifted her from over-functioning into a confident leader who now builds sustainable rhythms for her team and balance for her family.This isn't just a story of better systems. It's a story of reclaiming identity, building trust, and choosing to lead without sacrificing health or home.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why boundaries start with the leader, not with the staffHow shifting from “hero” to CEO changes your school cultureThe role of one-on-one meetings in building trust and career growth for teachersWhy specific gratitude builds safety and resilience in teamsHow leadership growth impacts marriage, parenting, and personal lifeWhy coaching is never “one more thing”—it's the foundation of sustainable leadershipKey InsightsBoundaries are for you first. Without them, you'll always default to rescuing instead of leading.Culture starts with trust. One-on-ones and specific gratitude create safety for real conversations.You can't hustle your way to sustainability. Systems and rhythms—not over-functioning—are what hold schools together.Personal growth multiplies. When leaders evolve, staff mirror that same growth in respect, empowerment, and culture.Memorable Quotes“The boundaries weren't just for others—they were for me.” – Irene Gomez“True success is having a strong team that wants to stay forever.” – Irene Gomez“Enough isn't about getting ahead. It's about trusting that what you did today was enough.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy This Matters for School LeadersEnds the cycle of firefighting and hyper-responsibilityBuilds cultures of trust where staff thrive and turnover decreasesProtects leaders' health, marriage, and family timeShows how leadership coaching transforms not just schools, but livesResources & Next StepsReflect: Where in your leadership are you holding on to hyper-responsibility?Audit your staff culture: Are you building trust, or chasing harmony?Share this episode with a fellow leader who feels stuck in people-pleasingReady to stop holding everything together alone?

The question of what happens after we die is one as old as time itself. We all wonder about it & are devastated by it at some point. Many fear it. And others feel that they already know or have even experienced it themselves. My guest this week, Ryan McCormick, produced an entire series of interviews based on the topic of the death and the afterlife. And all this within his pioneering podcast, "Outer Limits of Inner Truth," that delves into the profound mysteries of life, liberty, health, and the human spirit. Clearly I had a lot of questions, and accolades, for Ryan. We had a fantastic time chatting about all things other worldly.On this week's guest episode, Ryan shares how he came to embark on this journey of sharing stories of the Outer Limits of Inner Truth with the World. He shares about his early days of working with several mentors including metaphysical visionary Stuart Wilde to creating the "world's only show about Forensic Soul Analysis." Ryan tells us what made him decide to tackle death and the afterlife in such a comprehensive way, how he balances being respectful of different beliefs while exploring such spiritual territory, and what he hopes someone who's never thought about these topics gets from listening. Ryan's remarkable series, Journey Beyond Death, spanning 65 original interviews, including 28 with individuals who have had near-death experiences (NDEs), this series weaves together stories of survival, grief, revelation, and spiritual awakening. It brings together voices rarely heard in one place: grief counselors, psychologists, metaphysical teachers, mediums, and survivors of clinical death—all sharing their deeply human experiences and insights.  The series begins by meeting listeners where they are: in the raw immediacy of grief. The opening episodes feature deeply personal accounts from people who have lost children, spouses, siblings, and close friends. These early stories are not sensational—they're sacred. They're grounded in real-world heartbreak, but also resilience, offering comfort to anyone navigating the silent terrain of mourning. Bio: Ryan McCormick is a public relations professional and the host and executive producer of "Outer Limits of Inner Truth," a pioneering podcast that delves into the profound mysteries of life, liberty, health, and the human spirit. Since its debut in 2014 on BlogTalkRadio, the show has earned its reputation as the "world's only show about Forensic Soul Analysis."McCormick is the co-founder of Goldman McCormick Public Relations and a Florida State University graduate (B.S. '00). He's the recipient of a 2016 Bulldog Reporter Corporate Social Responsibility PR Gold Award for his work on the Nick Hillary campaign, which helped lead to Hillary's exoneration.Born and raised in Long Island, New York, McCormick describes himself as a "perpetual seeker" and "Fringe Dweller" with an insatiable curiosity for science and spirituality. He's had the honor of working with several mentors including metaphysical visionary Stuart Wilde, Howard Stern, Ron Paul, and PR legend Michael Levine.His show has featured high-profile guests including Richard Belzer, George Noory, Dr. Ron Paul, Robert Kiyosaki, Dr. Naomi Wolf, and others.Show Link: https://www.outerlimitsradio.com/journeybeyonddeath/

Dr. Thomas Lodi delivers a transformative perspective on healing that challenges the very foundations of conventional medicine in this eye-opening episode. Instead of using astrological terminology like "cancer," Dr. Lodi refers to these conditions as "Chronically Fermenting Cells" (CFCs) - a term that accurately describes what's happening in the body at a cellular level.From his 21 years of experience at Oasis of Healing in Arizona, Dr. Lodi shares why his approach differs fundamentally from both conventional and many alternative practitioners. While his clinic offers similar modalities to other integrative centers (ozone therapy, vitamin C, etc.), the crucial difference lies in properly implementing these treatments within a comprehensive plan that addresses why the body produces CFCs in the first place. This focus on prevention and sustainable healing sets his methodology apart in a field where recurrence is all too common.The episode takes a serious turn when Dr. Lodi discusses the troubling pattern of truth-tellers in medicine being silenced. Using careful language, he references numerous physicians who practiced integrative medicine and faced severe consequences for challenging mainstream narratives. His passionate call for collective resistance against medical censorship reminds listeners that "we are the elephant" - the 99% who have the power to refuse going where we're led.Dr. Lodi masterfully deconstructs medical terminology around conditions like ulcerative colitis, IBS, and SIBO, revealing how conventional medicine creates complicated classification systems that obscure simple truths about health conditions. These conditions, he explains, fundamentally represent dysbiosis - an imbalance in the microbiome - rather than discrete "diseases" requiring pharmaceutical interventions that merely suppress symptoms wiSend us a text Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

We create tremendous suffering by shrinking our world to the narrow confines of our personal preferences.
