    Pastor James Powell brings a powerful message from John 10 and Psalm 23, reminding us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads, provides, and corrects out of love—not based on our performance, but on what He has done. This message reframes conviction as kindness, inviting us into deeper trust, humility, and gratitude as we learn to follow the Shepherd's voice and rest in His unchanging care.

    Dumbline is heading back to the early 1920s, a time when kindness, caretaking, and good intentions were taken at face value and no one bothered asking any follow up questions. In this episode, generosity becomes the perfect disguise, letting one person's help quietly unleash chaos wherever it goes. What begins as small, thoughtful gestures soon spirals into illness, confusion, and a truly impressive level of dumb that somehow slips past everyone until it's far, far too late.

    In today's episode, we explore how easy it is to look outside ourselves—especially online—for reminders of love, kindness, and goodness in the world. While social media can sometimes highlight beautiful acts of compassion, it can just as easily pull us into comparison, judgment, and worry. During my meditation, I was gently reminded that I don't need to go online to find kindness at all. It's already here—waiting to be noticed in everyday moments, quiet gestures, and simple human connection. Today's reflection invites you to step out of your worries, soften your judgments, and become more present to the love that's unfolding around you right now. Come listen. Thanks for Listening!

    Episode SummaryIn this transformative episode of the Will Power Podcast, host Will Humphreys sits down with one of his closest mentors and friends, Greg Todd. Greg is a licensed physical therapist turned serial entrepreneur who manages five successful businesses while working only part-time.Greg breaks down the "4 Levels of Value" that determine your income and freedom in the marketplace. If you feel stuck trading your hours for dollars, this conversation provides the blueprint for shifting from "Implementation" (physical labor) to "Imagination" (solving problems with your mind). They also dive deep into the psychology of relationships, specifically the difference between Givers, Takers, and Matchers, and how a spirit of benevolence can unlock doors you didn't even know existed.Key TakeawaysThe 4 Levels of Value: Understand where you currently sit in the marketplace hierarchy and how to move up:Implementation: Trading time for physical tasks (Lowest value).Unification: Managing and overseeing the implementers.Communication: Moving people to action through speech, writing, or performance.Imagination: Using your mind to create solutions and scale businesses (Highest value).Buying Back Your Time: Why the goal of making more money should always be to purchase more options and freedom.The Givers, Takers, and Matchers Framework: Why Greg suggests avoiding "Matchers" (score-keepers) just as much as "Takers," and how being one of the rare 5% of "Givers" builds an elite inner circle.The Power of Acknowledgment: How Greg uses "Random Acts of Kindness" and the "Beach Walk" method to build high-value relationships simply by acknowledging someone's artistry.Leveraging AI in 2026: How clinicians and entrepreneurs can "productize" their knowledge using tech to create assets that work while they sleep.Send us a textVirtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.Learn how a Virtual Rockstar can help scale your physical therapy practice.Subscribe here to our completely free Stress-Free PT Newsletter for your weekly dose of joy.

    Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, known to millions as MrBeast, has been absolutely everywhere in the news cycle recently, and there's a lot to unpack about what's happening in his empire right now.First up, Beast Games Season Two is dropping tomorrow, January 7th, on Prime Video. According to IMDb, the first three episodes will be available immediately, with new episodes rolling out weekly until the season finale on February 25th. The show is bringing back Beast City with what they're calling a "Strong vs. Smart" narrative, and there's apparently a Survivor crossover coming that has fans pretty excited. For context, the first season became Prime Video's most-watched unscripted show ever, racking up 50 million viewers in just 25 days, so expectations are absolutely massive for this second season.Beyond Beast Games, MrBeast is gearing up for a major humanitarian push. The Varkey Foundation announced a partnership with him to launch what they're calling the 1 Billion Acts of Kindness campaign, described as the largest global social movement led by content creators. The campaign officially launched in November, and submissions have been pouring in from creators worldwide showcasing their social impact work. The top ten creators with the most impactful acts will be revealed at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai from January 9th to 11th, just days away. These selected creators will then collaborate with MrBeast and his Beast Industries team to execute documented acts of kindness with global reach. The selection criteria are pretty rigorous, focusing on authenticity, storytelling, creativity, and positive impact.Guinness World Records also recently caught up with MrBeast ahead of the Beast Games Season Two premiere, publishing an interview on January 4th that dives into his record-breaking achievements and what he's got coming next.What's really notable here is that MrBeast isn't just focused on entertainment anymore. The shift toward large-scale philanthropic initiatives, combined with the continued dominance of Beast Games, shows a creator who's building something that extends way beyond YouTube views. He's essentially creating a global infrastructure for content creators to participate in organized kindness movements.Thanks so much for listening to this update.

    Episode Summary As we begin a new year, we're focusing on something every parent longs to see in their children: genuine, Christ-centered kindness. In this episode, we move beyond surface-level “being nice” and talk about the kind of heart-level kindness that flows from biblical love. Kindness doesn't happen by accident. It is cultivated daily through Scripture, discipleship, modeling, prayer, and real conversations in the everyday moments of family life. Join us as we explore how God grows kindness in our children's hearts and how moms can faithfully nurture that fruit at home. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why true kindness starts in the heart, not behavior alone How biblical love from 1 Corinthians 13 forms the foundation of kindness Simple, daily ways to disciple children toward kindness How to use real-life conflicts as heart-shaping discipleship moments The importance of modeling kindness as parents Teaching kindness in school, co-op, and peer settings Encouragement for moms who feel like progress is slow Scripture References 1 Corinthians 13 Galatians 5:22–23 Key Takeaways Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit that God grows as children walk with Him Daily, small moments shape kind hearts more than big events Scripture, prayer, and modeling work together to form lasting character Parents are planting seeds, and God is faithful to bring growth Faithfulness matters more than perfection in the discipleship journey Resources Mentioned What the Bible Says About Love Coloring Book Fruit of the Spirit Activity Book Multi-age Bible studies and family discipleship tools available at TrainingThemWisely.com Encouragement for Moms If kindness doesn't appear overnight, don't lose heart.

    Hello to you listening in Shah Alam, Malaysia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The beginning of a New Year can feel daunting. All those plans to kick start, days to fill, resolutions to keep, and more to do! There's no shame in admitting feeling a wee bit wobbly-legged about going forward in the face of wide open frontiers.  What to do? Gain some courage by reversing your Bucket List. Instead of a list of what is yet to be done, what about a list of what you've accomplished from the littlest things that you felt made a difference to the biggest things you never thought you would achieve. You might begin by asking yourself:What made me proud?What have I learned?How did I transform my thinking about strangers to compassion and kindness?Who revealed the meaning of true love to me?Where did I find the hope and resilience to face whatever came my way?When did I feel most content or fulfilled?What would I do all over again just for the joy of it?What did I long for as a child?  What have I created or, at least, not destroyed?Who have I lifted up?How have I defined my life?  What dreams came true? And, which was I happy to leave by the wayside?  What or whom did I fight for and why?When did I take time to play?  In my experience the Reverse Bucket List invites us to pay attention to what we've done, won, gained, lost, learned and kept on living no matter what. It's proof that over and over again we have stepped outside our comfort zone to strive for something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for! Give it a go. Reverse your Bucket List and shine a light on you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together. Be sure to stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website, check out the Communication Services, email me to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as "Wyzga on Words" on Substack.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicALL content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

    A Little Greek, A Little Sci-Fi 2025 kicked off my goal of reading the great books of Western Civilization. So in typical fashion I read a little Greek, a little sci-fi, and a smattering of everything else. Indiepub still factored into the list with some hits and misses, just like the tradpubs. As always, the goal we should all have isn’t quantity it’s quality. But quality doesn’t just mean classic great books, it means books you enjoy and changes you and allows you to experience escapism and learn more about God’s world as He is the ultimate storyteller.

    n today's Daily Shift, we explore a belief many people carry: that growth requires pressure, self-criticism, or being hard on yourself. For many of us, harsh self-talk became a way to stay motivated or avoid failure. But over time, this approach can leave the nervous system in a constant state of defense, making real change feel exhausting or unsustainable. This episode offers a gentler reframe — that growth rooted in safety and self-compassion is more effective and lasting than growth driven by self-punishment. In this episode, we explore: Why self-criticism often feels productive but isn't How harshness impacts the nervous system The difference between accountability and self-punishment What self-compassion can look like in everyday moments A gentle reminder from today's shift: You don't need to be hard on yourself to grow Kindness creates space for learning Growth supported by safety lasts longer Take a pause and allow this to be a moment of self-compassion.

He argues that true kindness is about creating an environment where workers can succeed—by enforcing safety, cleanliness, and discipline. Drawing on lessons from military leadership and personal experiences, Jason explains how leadership and structure, far from being harsh, are the most respectful and kind ways to support workers on a construction site. What you'll learn in this episode: Why leadership and discipline are forms of respect on the job site. How creating a clean, organized work environment shows true kindness. The importance of clear communication and safety systems in fostering success. Why avoiding zero tolerance or structure is disrespectful to workers. How to establish a stable, predictable environment that helps workers perform at their best.

    Send us a textWhat if kindness isn't about being agreeable, but about choosing love that expands you? We sit down with energy healer and 13-sidereal astrologer Tiffany O'Hearn to unpack the real difference between performative niceness and the kind of kindness that heals trauma, strengthens boundaries, and rebuilds community. From the first moments, Tiffany grounds the conversation in integrity—why intent matters, how language shapes energy, and how a simple thank you can open a closed nervous system.We explore the three P's of people-pleasing—prevent, persuade, please—and how they quietly drain respect for self and others. Tiffany shares practical tools to spot the twist of a fearful yes, listen for the first voice of intuition, and make choices that feel expansive rather than constricted. You'll hear how receiving praise, help, or a paid coffee without instantly “paying it back” restores the giving-and-receiving loop that keeps generosity alive. We dive into the mirror effect of trauma on our narratives, the way we seek evidence to confirm our beliefs, and how curiosity disrupts judgment across political, cultural, and personal lines.The conversation moves from inner work to communal practice: creating low-wall spaces where people can gather without performance, from trail communities to neighborhood rituals. Tiffany's nature metaphors—a flower that doesn't negotiate with the bee, grass that rebounds after a step—offer a blueprint for resilience and grace. Expect candid stories, clear frameworks, and grounded takeaways you can use today: accept the compliment, check your body's signal, set the kind boundary, and ask what you don't yet know.If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs some encouragement, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

    Hi listeners. It's that time of year when we all take a few of those precious moments between the holidays and starting the New Year to look back, plan ahead, and savor those moments before heading back to work. This is the final DiepCJourney® podcast of 2025 and I decided to go solo for the first time since beginning this podcast during the pandemic in January of 2021. Let's take a look back at what we have provided courtesy of my outstanding guests. I always say, a podcast is only as good as its guests, and I am so lucky to have met them via my podcast and many I have met in person. When I had my first podcast with Dr. C in January of 2021, we had been working together in this patient education advocacy space for six years. That number has now rolled over to 11 years working together and he has been a cherished guest on so many topics on the podcast. Since that first podcast in January of 2021, I have interviewed surgeons, both microsurgeons and breasts surgeons from across the world. Thank you to each of you for providing such valuable information to the listeners of the podcast. I set this podcast up originally as a stand-alone platform but now because of changes in social media platforms I am able to share most of the podcast over on the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel. You can find them on the channel listed as Podcasts if you'd like to watch them and actually see my guests. It's a fun alternative and really what some followers like over listening to the podcast. With a niche podcast like this, my priority is creating content that truly serves the community—not chasing numbers. In a space as specific as breast reconstruction, I measure success by connection and education rather than statistics. The beauty of a niche podcast is that it reaches exactly who needs it most, so I focus on value over metrics. Last year in January we kicked off the year with my friend Rory Zura of Foobs and Fitness. Understanding and knowing the research behind the benefits of exercise for breast cancer patients is so important and a topic that is asked about often. Thanks Rory! She is a survivor with her own unique story. Patients stories matter to many, not only other patients, but healthcare professionals who can improve their communication and protocols for patients based on patient stories. One of the most listened to podcast of 2025 was from Margaret Tueller Proffit, a young BRCA genetic mutation carrier who started her reconstruction with implants, transitioned to DIEP flap and then graced us with the conclusion of her reconstruction by sharing one of the best quotes I heard from a patient all year, "Go forth with confidence"! Sensation of the breast always gets a lot of listeners. Our interview with Dr. Lisa Hunsicker was popular. We tackled diastasis recti and why to repair it during DIEP with Dr. Kesley McClure of Southwest Breast and Aesthetics and found out what other procedures are performed in Phoenix at their facility with her colleague, Dr. Arvind Gowda. Dr. Craigie shared a very interesting interview with us on the delay procedure, the SIEA, and the TDAP. These alternative methods of using a patients own tissue are very important for patients who don't always find this information easily. Nipple reconstruction with Dr. Carpenter at PRMA came out of an in-person meeting we had at a microsurgery summit I attended. Thanks Dr. Carpenter for your warm smile and willingness to spend time with me to educate our audience. I invite each of you listening to use the search engine to explore all the topics we have talked about with my guest on the link I'll provide at the end of the episode details. Libsyn has been a great podcast platform for us to use so a shout out to them! As part of the resources we provide at DiepCFoundation, this podcast being one of them, we also have the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel I mentioned earlier and the DiepCJourney® blog. I want to leave you with a message from an end of the year blog I wrote just a couple of days ago. Here is the link to read the entire blog. https://diepcjourney.com/kindness-gratitude-courage-my-compass-for-2026/ Here is what I wrote: As I step into 2026, I find myself returning again and again to three simple words. Those words are kindness, gratitude, and courage. They aren't new concepts. They aren't complicated. But they have become the compass points guiding how I want to show up in the world, how I want to lead, and how I want to serve the breast cancer community that has shaped my life in ways I never could have imagined. These three words have carried me through seasons of uncertainty, moments of profound connection, and the quiet, steady work of advocacy. They have grounded me when the world felt heavy and lifted me when I needed reminding that hope is not naïve. Hope is necessary. And as I look toward the year ahead, they feel more necessary than ever. Here's to a year guided by purpose, connection, and the quiet strength that lives within us all. I cannot wait for you to listen to our guests in 2026, our sixth season. Thank you for listening and being a part of the Journey!

    61. How To Outsmart Your Resolutions With Strategy So That They Stick

    Here is the scene. You swear you will go running tomorrow. Tomorrow arrives. So does rain and a croissant. Suddenly, the morning jog turns into a coffee date with yourself, starring a pastry that insists it is “self-care” on a plate. Acrasia: When Knowing Is Not DoingThe Greeks had a word for this pattern: acrasia, doing the opposite of what you know is good for you. Plato thought that if you truly understood the good, you would automatically follow it, while Aristotle pointed out that desire can simply overrule reason. You see it in everyday life: people genuinely want to stick to their health habits, sleep routines, or exercise plans, yet they quietly slide back into old patterns. It is not stupidity. It is the constant pull between quick comfort and long-term meaning. Why Resolutions Are Bad StrategyManagement thinker Richard Rumelt, in his book “Good Strategy / Bad Strategy,” explains that many “strategies” fail because they are just slogans pretending to be plans. Most New Year's resolutions behave exactly like that: “Be healthier” or “get my life together” sound powerful but say nothing about what you will do on Tuesday at 7 p.m. There is no diagnosis, no honest “this is where I usually fall apart.” Everything rests on willpower, which tends to disappear right around the time the fridge light comes on.Acrasia loves this setup. It lives in the gap between big promises and zero structure. Turn Resolutions Into StrategyLet us take one example and keep it: “I want to exercise regularly.” Here is how strategy changes it. Diagnose the real problem Instead of “I am lazy,” try “I plan evening workouts, but by 7 p.m. I am exhausted, hungry, and my sofa is closer than the gym.” Now the issue is timing and energy, not your moral worth. Create a guiding policy for that problem Based on that diagnosis, a guiding policy could be: “Exercise early, before the day tires me out, and make it as easy as possible to start.” This gives a direction for every future choice about movement. Design tiny, coherent actions that match the policy From that policy, you might decide: lay out workout clothes by the bed every night do a ten-minute walk or short routine right after coffee, not after work on very bad mornings, at least stretch for three minutes so the habit does not break. All of these actions serve the same strategy: make morning movement simple and inevitable. Anchor that same example in your values Finally, you tie this exercise habit to something that matters: “I move in the morning because I want to hit middle age with the energy and body of someone who still gets mistaken for the intern.” It becomes about future freedom, not punishment for past croissants. A Kinder Way To FailAcrasia is not proof that you are broken. It is proof that you are human, stuck between intention and temptation. Writer Susan Sontag once put it this way: “Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New Year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.” This January, instead of promising a completely new you, you could try something closer to that: a little more kindness for yourself, and just enough courage to take the next small step. So this year, if you want to outsmart your resolutions with strategy, do not make them louder. Make them smarter: one clear diagnosis, one simple guiding policy, a few tiny actions you might actually do. And if the croissant wins sometimes, let it, as long as it does not win every round.

    In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life, to unpack a simple but high impact idea. Show up with love and kindness in each now. Nick shares how a pair of knee high pink socks turned into an organic global kindness movement. From healthcare conferences to everyday moments on a bus or in a grocery line, the core message stays the same. Real connection beats nonstop connectivity. You will also hear a practical reset for caregivers and high performers who pour into everyone else. Start with self love. Then use small human moments to build the muscle of compassion, presence, and empathy. About the Guest: Nicholas Adkins is the founder of Pink Socks Life, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of Pink Socks. How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks have been gifted worldwide as a signal for belonging, kindness, and human connection. Key Takeaways: Pink Socks Life started as a simple conference strategy. Gift fun pink socks. Start conversations. Build real relationships that scale into community. The “movement” became organic when strangers in places like the Netherlands and Wales sourced pink socks to support health causes and connection. “Heartspeak” is what happens when you slow down, look someone in the eyes, and make space for their story with empathy and no judgment. Connection is different from connectivity. Phones, apps, and social platforms are tools. Real connection is presence, listening, and shared humanity. Kindness is not soft. It is operational leadership. One sincere conversation can shift a room, a workplace culture, or a hospital hallway. Love and fear show up in every moment. You choose. Love looks like compassion, patience, forgiveness, and cooperation. Fear looks like anger and shame. The real gift is not the socks. The real gift is holding space for another human, especially when they are carrying grief or struggle. If you are great at caring for others but bad at caring for yourself, start with one micro habit. Give yourself grace. Then practice love in low stakes moments. End of day reflection builds self awareness. Where did I choose love today. Where did I miss it. What will I try in the next now.
