Why does manifestation seem to work so well for some people—and not at all for others? In this solo episode, I explore a question that sits at the intersection of manifestation, psychology, and human behavior. What if manifestation isn't about vision boards, affirmations, or saying the perfect thing at the perfect time? What if it's about the evidence you're collecting every single day? We dive into how your brain filters reality, why two people can experience the same world and walk away with completely different conclusions, and whether manifestation might have more to do with awareness than most people realize. Along the way, I share the evidence game we play inside Manifestation Playground, the role confirmation bias may play in manifestation, and how focusing on possibility can change the opportunities you notice and the actions you take. Whether you believe manifestation is universal law, psychology, coincidence, energy, or some combination of all four, this conversation will challenge the way you think about what's possible. ✨ In this episode: Why manifestation appears to work for some people and not others The evidence game we play inside Manifestation Playground How your brain filters reality Manifestation vs. confirmation bias Why awareness changes what you notice The connection between belief and opportunity How my lake property manifestation unfolded Becoming an evidence collector instead of a skeptic or believer
Most people think Kokoda is just a trek through the jungles of Papua New Guinea. They’re wrong. After more than 100 crossings of the Kokoda Track, Glenn Azar has come to believe there are actually three different Kokodas that every trekker experiences. The first is the history. The incredible story of the 1942 campaign and the courage of the young Australians and Papua New Guineans who fought and served there. The second is the physical challenge. The relentless climbs, steep descents, humidity and exhaustion that test every person who steps onto the Track. But it’s the third Kokoda that surprises almost everyone. The personal journey. The conversations you have with yourself when the distractions of everyday life disappear. The perspective you gain. The confidence you build. The person you become. Whether you’re planning your first trek or simply fascinated by Kokoda’s enduring legacy, this episode explores why the Track changes people in ways they never expect. In This Episode Why there isn’t just one Kokoda Understanding the historical significance of the Kokoda Campaign Why physical preparation is important—but only part of the journey The unexpected personal transformation that happens on the Track How challenge, purpose and simplicity combine to create lasting change Why no two people ever experience Kokoda in the same way Key Takeaway You may come to Kokoda for the history.You’ll prepare for the physical challenge.But you’ll remember the personal journey. Quote from the Episode “Everyone walks the same Track. But everyone walks a different Kokoda.” Thinking About Walking Kokoda? If Kokoda has been on your bucket list, we’d love to help you experience it the right way. For more than 20 years, Adventure Professionals has been leading Australians across the Kokoda Track with experienced Australian leaders, an exceptional Papua New Guinean team, and a commitment to honouring both the history and the people who call the Track home.

In this episode of The Mindset and Manifesting Podcast, LynnaK Teer explores a subtle but critical distortion within NevilleGoddard's teachings that often goes unnoticed: thetendency to use manifestation as a form of self-improvement.As individuals begin applying The Law, it is common toapproach the process as a way to become better, more confident, or more aligned. While this may appear productive, it introduces a hidden assumption that the current self is not enough.Neville Goddard did not teach manifestation as a method offixing or improving the self. He taught that reality changes through identification with states of consciousness. In this episode, we examine how self-improvement reinforces the identity of “not being there yet,” why this creates an ongoing loop, and how the shift from improvement to recognitionchanges everything.This is not a discussion about rejecting growth or ignoringpatterns. It is a precise clarification of how identity operates within consciousness and why attempting to fix yourself often sustains the very state you are trying to move beyond.You will learn:Why manifestation is often mistaken for self-improvementThe hidden assumption behind trying to “fix yourself”How self-improvement reinforces identity-based lackThe difference between recognition and correctionWhy states do not develop over timeHow identity shifts instantly through assumptionThe subtle formation of spiritual identityWhy awareness removes the need for self-fixingThis episode brings clarity to the role of identity within The Law and explains why manifestation is not about becoming a better version of yourself, but recognizing and occupying a different state.If you have found yourself constantly working on yourself, trying to improve your mindset, or feeling like you are never fully “there yet,” this episode will help you understand what is actually happening and return to a more accurate and stable understanding.Key Takeaway: You are not here to fix yourself. Youare here to recognize the state you are identified with. Change occurs through identity, not improvement.Explore More:Study Neville Goddard's teachings in depth: https://NevilleGoddardOfficial.comRead psychological interpretations of Scripture: https://TheBibleYourBiography.comApply for Mentorship: https://LynnaKTeer.com

What happens when you accept an invitation to experience someone else's passion? In this episode of Changing the Rules, Ray and Sandy Loewe climb into the back seat of a beautifully restored 1911 Stevens-Duryea (a $300,000 antique car) and join a caravan of thirty Brass Era automobiles winding through the Pennsylvania countryside. What began as an invitation from friend Jane Grove quickly became much more than a ride in a rare antique automobile. Along the way, they met fascinating people from ten different states, including travelers from California, Oregon, and even Dubai. They learned the history behind these remarkable machines, discovered the dedication required to keep them running, and experienced the unique camaraderie that develops when people gather around a shared passion. Joining the conversation are Jane Grove, who introduced Ray and Sandy to the tour; Pat Gamble, driver, mechanic, tour leader, and antique automobile enthusiast; and co-host Mary Ann Steinhauer. Together they explore how curiosity, friendship, and a willingness to say "yes" can open doors to unexpected adventures. As Jane likes to describe it, the tour was simply a journey from one food stop to the next—just conducted in magnificent antique style. This episode is a reminder that some of life's best experiences begin when we step into someone else's world and allow ourselves to be surprised. Key Takeaway: You don't have to become an expert in someone else's passion to enjoy it. Sometimes the greatest rewards come from being curious enough to take the ride.
What if the best productivity hack isn't another app, AI tool, or social media strategy? What if it's simply walking away? In this episode of Rebel Momma Pod, host Sarah Castañeda sits down with ADHD coach Russ Jones, founder of ADHD Big Brother, for an honest conversation about social media addiction, doomscrolling, entrepreneurship, accountability, and building a life that aligns with your values. Russ shares why he deleted Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, how social media was impacting his mental health, and why he believes many adults with ADHD are trapped in systems that drain their attention and energy. Together, they explore the pressure to constantly scale, hustle, and stay visible online, and what happens when you decide to do things differently. They also dive into the power of accountability, why AI can't replace human support, and how community can be one of the most effective tools for adults with ADHD. This episode is a refreshing reminder that success doesn't have to look like everyone else's version of success.
Sometimes the most powerful lessons in life don't come from our own failures—they come from observing others. In this episode, I share a memorable experience from my college drama competition that taught me the importance of attention to detail, preparation, and learning from the experiences of others. This is a story about vicarious learning—gaining wisdom without having to make the mistake yourself.Join me as I reflect on how one unexpected result changed my perspective and taught me a lesson that has stayed with me ever since.Key Takeaway: You don't have to experience every mistake personally to learn from it. Sometimes, observing others is enough to gain valuable wisdom.

Everything the fitness industry told women about exercise after 40 was wrong — not a little wrong, completely backwards. In this episode, Brian breaks down why the traditional prescription of moderate cardio and light weights is failing women in perimenopause and menopause, what the research is actually showing about how the female body responds to exercise after hormonal shifts, and what you should be doing instead to protect your muscle, your bones, your metabolism, and your energy.If you have been doing everything right and nothing is working, this episode is for you.What You Will Learn:Why moderate exercise stops working the way it used to after 40, what hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause mean for how you should train, why heavier resistance training and sprint intervals outperform steady-state cardio for women in midlife, how excessive moderate cardio can actually work against your results, and why the "just take it easy" advice is one of the most damaging things women in this season of life have been told.Key Takeaway: You are not failing because you are undisciplined. You are failing because you were given the wrong information. Lift heavier. Sprint sometimes. Protect your muscle. Stop being afraid of intensity.Resources & Next Steps: Learn more about the Fit Over 40 Transformation at Applied Fitness — comment RESET or visit 716fatloss.com to take the free metabolic quiz and find out where your metabolism actually stands.Follow Applied Fitness: Facebook | Threads | LinkedIn #StrongAgain #FitOver40 #AgingStrong #AppliedFitness #StrengthIsTheCurrencyOfLife #716Fitness

In this episode, Rhonda sits down with Becky Sampson, founder of Only Subpoenas™, for a grounded conversation about one of the most misunderstood tools in divorce: subpoenas. If you've ever felt like you're making decisions without the full picture, you're not alone. Many women find themselves asking for financial information again and again—only to be met with delays, partial answers, or silence. This conversation explores what happens when you shift from asking… to accessing. Becky shares her personal story of navigating a high-conflict divorce, where she issued 21 subpoenas over the course of her case. What began as a frustrating process became a turning point—helping her uncover critical financial information, build confidence, and ultimately create leverage in her settlement. Together, Rhonda and Becky break down what a subpoena actually is (and what it's not), when it might make sense to consider one, and how it fits into a broader financial strategy during divorce. This isn't about being aggressive. It's about being informed. In This Episode, We Cover: What a subpoena is—and how it differs from a discovery request Why "asking nicely" doesn't always lead to full transparency How subpoenas can help close gaps in financial information The emotional side of gaining access to information (and what to do with it) Why more information isn't always better—and how to stay strategic Real examples of uncovering hidden accounts, income, and spending The role of organization and clarity when reviewing financial records How subpoenas can create leverage in negotiations What to consider before pursuing additional documentation Key Takeaway You don't have to make life-altering financial decisions with incomplete information. And… you don't have to rush the process. But there may come a point where continuing to ask keeps you stuck. That's where understanding your options—and having the right support—can change everything.

Episode 697 - Rae Dumont - In the Shadow of Silence - A Novel of love and joy leading to the descent of untreated depression and unbearable lossIn this episode, author Rae Dumont shares the inspiration behind her novel In the Shadow of Silence, a story drawn from her decades as a pediatrician and family therapist. Living in a New Jersey suburb near Manhattan, Dumont explains how the book demanded to be written, capturing fundamental truths about families facing mental health struggles, particularly depression. Influenced by James Baldwin's commitment to truth, she focuses on relational dynamics rather than specific events, portraying no person as an island.The novel centers on Lyman, a man battling depression, and his family's emotional turmoil—anger, guilt, inadequacy, and confusion among his wife Eva and children. Dumont wrote for those suffering in silence, emphasizing they are not alone; help exists through therapy, medication as an adjunct, couples counseling, exercise, and awareness practices. She highlights how children notice parental moods early, like Lyman's young daughter's tears prompting his initial treatment, and stresses modeling help-seeking as strength, not weakness, to break generational cycles of unspoken trauma and suicide.Family members grapple with mixed feelings, such as frustration when efforts to help fail, and the dangers of stopping treatment impulsively without support. Dumont addresses cultural stigmas, especially for men, urging collaborative monitoring instead of solo battles. Post-tragedy, she advocates space for diverse reactions—fury, grief, or silence—using tools like family mapping to reveal what kids already sense.Key Takeaway: You are not alone in depression or supporting a loved one through it—reach out for help, talk openly, and model vulnerability to foster healing and connection across generations. About Rae Dumont I am a mother, a widow, a friend. As a pediatrician and a family therapist, I have shared in many people's experiences, and tried to help.I hope to bring these lives to the page, and to share what they taught me.This book is for you, if you have struggled with depression. There are people who love you, and reasons to live.If you have tried to help a loved one who does battle with darkness, this book will show that you are not alonehttps://www.raedumontwriting.org/Please read my blog on SUBSTACKhttps://raedumont.substack. comSend us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Book a Discovery Call for Relationship Renovation CoachingWhat actually causes betrayal in relationships?Is it about sex, disconnection, or something deeper?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stan Tatkin, founder of the PACT Institute and one of the leading voices in relationship science, to break down what really happens when trust is broken—and what it actually takes to repair it.Dr. Tatkin challenges many common beliefs about infidelity and introduces a powerful reframe:Betrayal isn't just about what happened. It's about what was hidden.When critical information is withheld, it can completely destabilize a relationship—creating symptoms that often mirror trauma, including anxiety, obsession, and loss of safety.We explore why betrayal impacts the brain so deeply, why many couples struggle to recover, and what separates relationships that survive from those that don't.In this episode, we discuss:• Why betrayal is a trauma response, not just a relationship issue • The real definition of infidelity (beyond cheating) • How withholding information destroys trust and agency • Why “why did this happen?” is often the wrong question • The role of accountability, transparency, and repair • The three phases couples move through after betrayal • Why most relationships fail after infidelity—and what it actually takes to rebuildDr. Tatkin also introduces one of the most important ideas for long-term relationship success:Relationships don't fail because of love. They fail because they were never designed for safety.This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating betrayal, rebuilding trust, or wanting to understand how to create a relationship that can withstand real-life challenges.Key Takeaway: You don't repair trust through words—you repair it through consistent, observable change over time.If you're looking to go deeper into this work, explore more resources at:Order Relationship Renovation at Home Manual from AmazonJoin Our Patreon CommunityAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Most men are chasing success… But very few are asking the real question: What do you actually stand for? In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with entrepreneur and CEO of Volition America, John Sapiente, to unpack the moment that changed everything—a "patriotic awakening" that forced him to rethink his life, his priorities, and the legacy he was building.

It's about identity, responsibility, and the power of choice.

That moment shifted everything. Since then, John has dedicated himself to building Volition America into more than just a company—it's a movement centered around choice, unity, service, and legacy.

Most men don't fall apart overnight… they drift into isolation. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank Rich sits down with Nate Dewberry, Director of The Redeemed, to expose what may be the most overlooked crisis facing men today: the silent epidemic of loneliness and disconnection. From the front lines of men in crisis, Nate shares a sobering truth — many men who look successful on paper have no one they can call when life hits the fan. Together, Frank and Nate unpack why modern male friendships lack depth, how digital life has created the illusion of connection, and why real brotherhood is forged through shared struggle and mission. Nate also opens up about his own deeply personal journey through performance pressure, pornography as a coping mechanism, marriage breakdown, and the crushing shame that followed. What ultimately changed his life was not behavior management… but an identity transformation rooted in being fully known and still accepted. This episode is a wake-up call for the modern man who feels busy, successful — and quietly alone. If you've ever felt disconnected, stuck in secret struggle, or unsure of your purpose, this conversation will hit home. What You'll Learn In This Episode Why loneliness — not lack of success — is the real crisis facing men The difference between acquaintances and true brotherhood How shared suffering creates deep male bonds The hidden danger of performance-based identity Nate's raw story of porn, shame, and marriage collapse Why behavior change fails without identity change How cultural messages may be suppressing vision in young men Why every man needs something worth fighting for The power of men calling other men higher Practical first steps for men who feel isolated today How structured brotherhood accelerates healing and growth Key Takeaway You don't stop destructive behaviors by white-knuckling discipline. You become the man who no longer needs them. Real transformation begins with identity — and it is sustained through brotherhood. About Nate Dewberry Nathan "Nate" Dewberry serves as Director of The Redeemed, a faith-based ministry dedicated to helping men in crisis find connection, healing, and purpose through authentic community and spiritual growth. Nate brings a unique blend of pastoral leadership and real-world experience. He has served in multiple ministry roles including student pastor, associate pastor, and administrative pastor, and previously worked with Global Teen Challenge, a nationwide faith-based addiction recovery network. After walking through his own season of personal failure, divorce, and identity rebuilding, Nate now uses his story to help men who feel stuck, isolated, or disqualified by their past. His passion is simple but urgent: create spaces where men can be fully known and not walk alone. About The Redeemed The Redeemed is a men's ministry and community platform designed to help men pursue authentic brotherhood, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. Their model centers around: Small, facilitator-led men's groups (typically 10 men + 2 leaders) Programs ranging from 6–13 weeks Honest conversations around wins, losses, and real life struggles Leadership and character development Biblical and practical growth resources Ongoing online community support "Starting Point" sessions for new men exploring the community The mission is clear: No man walks alone. The Redeemed is not intended to replace the local church but to complement it by providing male-focused spaces where men can speak openly about struggles they may not yet feel comfortable sharing elsewhere. --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
What if the reason you haven't finished the thing you keep thinking about isn't motivation, discipline, or follow-through — but fit? In this episode, Eric is joined by Katherine Mutti Driscoll, PhD, an AuDHD coach, educator, and author, for a conversation that starts with writing a book and quickly becomes something much bigger: how neurodivergent adults actually get meaningful work done. They explore why so many ADHD and AuDHD adults carry "someday projects" for years, how structure (not willpower) turns intention into action, and why unmasking isn't just about identity — it's about designing systems that work with your nervous system instead of against it. Writing is the case study. Adaptation is the point. In This Episode, We Talk About Why motivation isn't the real problem for ADHD and AuDHD adults How an interest-based nervous system shapes creativity and follow-through The role of structure, deadlines, and external accountability in finishing big projects ADHD, autism, and the balance between novelty and predictability Unmasking your process and letting go of "normal" ways of working Why you don't have to love the process to do meaningful work Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and surviving the one-star review Dictation, movement, printing drafts, and other non-traditional workflows How support, containers, and community make progress possible A Key Takeaway You don't need to become more disciplined. You need a container that fits. When the system works for your brain, the work has a chance to happen. About the Guest Katherine Mutti Driscoll, PhD is an AuDHD coach, educator, and author. She holds a PhD in education, is trained through the International ADHD Coach Training Center and Impact Parents, and is currently studying to become a mental health counselor. Katherine is the author of The ADHD Workbook for Teen Girls and is currently working on her second book focused on Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.
