Nita Gage, Hoffman teacher and Director of Faculty, worked closely with Dr. Lipsenthal, M.D., for several years before his death. He was an internationally recognized leader, teacher, and author in integrative medicine and physician wellness. And he loved the Hoffman Process. The vision, care, and understanding that Dr. Lipsenthal brought to the world of medicine and medical doctors has changed how doctors care for themselves. Through his own time in the medical profession, Dr. Lipsenthal observed that the health, morale, and work satisfaction of many physicians were often worse than that of their patients. He found a way to support physicians in improving these areas of their lives. Like both Dr. Lipsenthal and Nita, many physicians they worked with eventually came to do the Hoffman Process, which gave them additional tools to change their lives for the better. Listen in as Nita shares her experience of working with Lee, the physician, and Lee the man. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Nita and Drew.

Through his years in the medical profession, Dr. Lipsenthal observed that the health, morale, and work satisfaction of many physicians were often worse than that of their patients. Inspired by his personal and professional experience, he developed the "Finding Balance in a Medical Life" program, which has been adapted by major medical groups and is being delivered at medical schools and residency programs nationwide. Lee was a 2006 graduate of the Hoffman Process. He died in September 2011. His wife, Kathy, also a physician, and his two children live in California. Lee Lipsenthal authored, Enjoy Every Sandwich: Living Each Day as If It Were Your Last. More about Nita Gage: From 1970 to 1980, Nita trained in psychoanalysis with R.D. Laing in London. Upon returning to the United States, she pursued graduate degrees in clinical psychology and a doctorate in shamanic psychology. Nita has been leading transformational healing retreats for over 25 years and the last 10 years recently with the Hoffman Institute. She is now the Director of Faculty for Hoffman Institute.

We just can't get enough of this delicious non-alcoholic sparkling wine from our freinds at Mawby Vineyards.Based on their number one bubbly, which is named the simple and alluring "Sex", Safe Sex embodies all the delcious flavor and celebratory fizz, with none of the buzz.We met up with Michael Laing, co-owner and winemaker for Mawby to get the scoop on this fun offering, just in time for Valentine's Day. Whether you are exploring the NA lifestyle, or just interested to to learn more, non-alcoholic beverage offerings are definitely a trend across the market. Sparkling wines, which are all that Mawby makes, are particularly suited to the NA treatment, according to Laing. Safe Sex uses Chardonnay grapes, who's juice was fermented to wine and the wine was then de-alcoholized. Natural flavors, sugar, grape skin extract (for color) and oak tannins were also added, and this wine has the same blush color as the original version The wine was then carbonated and bottled. The finished wine contains approximately 0.05% ABV. You'll find both versions of Sex out in the marketplace this holiday, and you can visit Mawby's two tasting rooms year-round.

Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our ongoing exploration of the principles that lead to greater certainty in life and business, we focus on one of the most universal and transformative concepts: Light. Light symbolizes hope, guidance, and truth, all essential components of certainty. In this episode, we'll uncover how embracing and sharing light—whether in leadership, personal development, or service—can illuminate our paths and those of others, creating a ripple effect of positivity and assurance. We'll discuss powerful examples of light in action, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' “Light the World” campaign to global figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa, whose lives were beacons of hope. Light's presence in art, science, and faith reveals its profound ability to inspire and guide us through challenges. In business, leaders who radiate clarity and positivity not only attract success but foster environments where trust, collaboration, and innovation thrive. The Law of Attraction teaches that the energy we emit shapes what we receive. By radiating light through kindness, optimism, and service, we create a self-sustaining cycle of growth and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. From daily actions to transformative initiatives, light aligns us with our values and allows us to build certainty not only for ourselves but for everyone around us. In closing, light is more than a metaphor—it's a foundation for purpose and progress. When we share our light, we become agents of clarity and hope, helping ourselves and others move confidently through life's uncertainties.

Since Finding Certainty's host, Patrick Laing's, profit consulting firm, Certainty Management, is headquartered in Henderson, it's a special treat for him to have one of the only four councilmen here in the city on the show.

They discuss backbone, humility, the importance of listening, technology, and more.

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having guests on Finding Certainty to share my personal thoughts on a specific topic. We're making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we're at “J.” I've decided to discuss the topic of Joy … something I think most of us would love to experience more of. Joy, in many respects, an outgrowth of Certainty and of the previous topics we've been discussing. It's also a catalyst for them too, though. Which comes first, right? The chicken or the egg or, in this case, Certainty or Joy? Joy is an experienced and a characteristic that can be elusive if you're not careful, but so much of it depends on us and our minds. What we think of it, how we define it, and how we FIND it are all fair game during today's Certainty discussion. In today's monologue, I'll share why joy is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives (or, can, if we'll let it), and offer a few personal stories and lessons as usual that I've learned along the way. I've experienced some great examples in my life and learned, the hard way at times, how to protect and fortify the joy in my life. During the show, we'll talk about the secrets to finding more joy–how to find it, develop it, maintain it, and retain it. Like all of these topics, joy is something I'm working on daily, striving to improve and grow.

According to Todd Hadley PRD Managing Director, each property market across Australia is currently moving at various speeds and directions regardless of whether an area is located closer to a capital city or is regional. This is pointed out in PRD's latest Australian Economic and Property Report. Todd says…“we are seeing different markets recording varying levels of price growth, while simultaneously, in other areas, prices are declining. A prime example of this can be seen in Brisbane where property prices continue to grow, whereas Hobart prices are shrinking.” Bushy talks to the editor of the report, Dr Asti - PRD's Chief Economist. Then he catches up with Real Estate Institute of Australia President and CEO of the Laing & Simmons Group, Leanne Pilkington who says "there are too many hurdles and egos in property to ever simplify home buying and selling”.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may already know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I've planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with August being the 8th month of the year, we're at “H” is for Humility. It seems a little funny, talking about Humility like I'm an expert or something. I'm not, but I do have a few thoughts I'd like to share. In fact, each of the topics I've addressed this year have been areas I'm personally working on and trying to improve at myself. Just like last month's topic (Giving), Humility is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not. I have some strong opinions on each of these topics, have learned some powerful (sometimes painful) lessons regarding them, and they're each something I'm learning a lot about and trying to master in my life. I believe Humility is one of the most fundamental principles and characteristics we've all got to master if we want to be truly successful in life, not to mention “find” and develop CERTAINTY in our lives. There are a lot of ways that we can learn humility and, in my experience, when we need it, the Lord is happy to provide reminders. Humility is core to any successful relationship, lasting impact, or legacy we hope to leave for our kids, our team, our clients, and more.

Who defines paradise, and who gets to live in its verdant incarnation on Earth? This is the question animating Olivia Laing's new book, The Garden Against Time, which ranges across the history of the English landscape, from John Milton's writing of Paradise Lost to Laing's own restoration of a walled garden. Alighting on the heartbreaking pastorals of 19th-century poet John Clare and the queer visions of 20th-century artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman, Laing pulls strands of history, literature, and resistance from the green blur that, for now, still surrounds us, even as it deceives us. Landscape architects like Capability Brown—so named for his capability to impose his will on any vista—were, as Laing writes, able “to fake nature so insidiously that even now those landscapes and the power relations they embody are mistaken for being just the way things are, natural, eternal, blandly reassuring, though what has actually taken place is the seizure of once common ground.” The author of five books of nonfiction and a novel, Olivia Laing joins Smarty Pants this week to explore both the powers that shaped the garden as we know it, and the power it has to change how we treat the earth, and ourselves.

Off the plot today and into the Suffolk garden of writer, critic and lifelong gardener Olivia Laing. Laing's diverse career began with their involvement in road protests in the 1980s & 1990s where they lived completely off grid: this led to training as a herbalist, before moving into the literary world. As the deputy books editor of The Observer they wrote extensively on arts and culture, before authoring award winning auto-fiction novel Crudo, and several celebrated works of non-fiction - the most recent of which, The Garden Against Time, uses today's Suffolk garden setting as a lens through which to explore the concept of paradise and the varied, surprising stories of gardens. Whilst Flo and Olivia pot up geraniums they discuss the concept of the gardens as a queer haven for artists like Derek Jarman, Cedric Morris, Vita Sackville-West and the ladies of Llangollen. Flo has her first go at worm harvesting and Flo and Olivia reflect on the growing urgency for public gardens that provide a refuge from urban stressors as well as the climate crisis.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may already know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I've already planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with July being the 7th month of the year, we're at “G” is for Giving. Just like last month's topic (Faith), Giving is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it's easy and other times it's not. I have some very strong opinions concerning the topic, have learned some powerful lessons surrounding it, and it's still something I'm learning about and trying to improve at. I believe it's one of the most fundamental principles to “finding” and developing more CERTAINTY in our lives that exists. There are a lot of ways that we can Give vs. Receive. Most fill us up, expand our visions, bring us more joy, satisfaction, and success. It's an eternal principle, one proven many times over. If you're ever struggling … with your health, your emotions, going through an illness, a challenge, a betrayal, or a loss, it's easy to focus inward and feel forlorn and forgotten. It's natural. We all feel that way. I've learned from long experience, though, that the best way to feel better is to look outward vs. inward, to get out and go serve others … to “lose myself in that service” as Jesus liked to say. It's hard to describe but it invariably makes ME feel better, even though I'm not the one “receiving” the service. It's a mystery but it absolutely works. I've seen too many examples of this to deny it in my life. If we can remember this, it can change our lives, our relationships, our very nation and the world as a whole. I hope we can get there. If you'd like to learn more about Finding Certainty, our veteran owned consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our global JV firm, Certainty Global, please go to www.certaintyteam.com or call us at (888) 684-3122. I wish you the best. Thanks for being a fan if you are or thanks for just stopping by if you have. I hope you'll return. I appreciate your patronage and support.

HT1802 - JPGs vs RAW, Again The flexibility of a RAW file has always seemed such a better strategy that I've never given JPEGs out of the camera a second thought. I recently had an chance to see Gordon Laing's book touting the virtues of shooting JPEGs out of the camera. I understand the challenge, and have to admit that Laing's images are terrific. I thought that maybe I need to try this, just for fun. Until, that is, I remembered Adobe's Enhanced DeNoise and Super Sharpen, newly introduced software solutions that only work on RAW files.
We are in February. And February, in the United States in particular, has to do with Valentine's Day and romantic relationships in specifically, but more in general, relationships and friendships. And so I have an interesting conversation with Elizabeth Laing Thompson about her new book, “When a Friendship Falls Apart.” I absolutely fell in love with her! It's a thick volume, especially by modern day standards where it seems like, publishing houses give us shorter and shorter books. This is not the case. Her book is a massive compilation of all the tips, all the advice, everything you need to know if you've ever been in a friendship that ended badly or that is going poorly or that has hurt you in any way, shape, or form. Through this book Elizabeth hopes to minister to those who are experiencing this often undiagnosed, unrecognized grief of friendship loss or friendship breakup, as she calls it. There are difficult emotions that accompany friendship hardship. So, she and I talk about important things, like: - friendship breakups: coping with loss and pain; - healing and forgiveness: overcoming bitterness; - Biblical wisdom: applying Scripture to relationships; - trust and vulnerability: rebuilding connections; - grieving and mourning: processing friendship loss; - finding beauty in brokenness: embracing imperfections; - prayer and guidance: seeking God's direction. Elizabeth acknowledges that the hardest part in navigating a friendship breakup is finding the right people to talk to about it. She acts as this one friend you need. She keeps you company. She points you to Gospel counsel as you navigate the loss of the friendship as it was. And then she offers wisdom for navigating future friendships after a loss because that's absolutely key. How do you even dare to open your heart again after it's been wounded? She is grounded in Scripture. She points to God's views on forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing after hurt. And then she gives us the best practical tools for navigating those conversations. How do you initiate a reconciliation conversation? What words can you use that are going to be most productive without escalating potential conflict? She is blending personal story, biblical examples, faith filled wisdom. I love all of the many, many interactions with Scripture that she gives us. She asks, how do we guard against the poison of bitterness so we can process the hurt and move forward? Elizabeth talks about when and how we can seek this reconciliation and what does look like. And this is anything but cliche. I promise you that. How do we know if the time has come to actually leave a friendship behind? How do we open up again and then trust our freshly wounded hearts to new friendships? Friendship loss is this unique kind of grief. It's a private and confusing kind of grief. And as we struggle to digest the pain and we wonder, how could this happen? What do I do now? Elizabeth is here to help hurting hearts find healing, find lessons to learn from the past, and stay open to new friendships in the future. Again, it's so full of hope. Some of the key advice I will remember from the book are, - Learn to navigate and overcome the pain and challenges of friendship breakups with grace and biblical wisdom. - Cultivate trust in relationships, acknowledging that past hurts can affect future connections but not define them. - 10. Find joy and hold onto positive memories even when some friendships can't be repaired, allowing healing to take place. - Protect your heart in extreme friendship scenarios by seeking comfort in prayer and scripture. - Give oneself permission to grieve and process the loss of friendships - Seek beauty in broken friendships and adopt a more open-minded and accepting approach to making connections despite past hurts. - Bring fears and insecurities to God as a source of courage and guidance in seeking and fostering friendships. - Let God guide and protect in the process of building trust and forming meaningful connections. - Look ahead to the eternal promise of friendships in heaven, where unity and safety abound. - Reflect Jesus in current friendships and strive for unity, echoing His prayer for oneness in John 17. - Categorize friendships and address potential misunderstandings by applying practical tips and Scripture. - Understand and appreciate the concept of mismatched expectations in friendships to prevent conflicts and foster understanding. - Seek divine guidance, wisdom, courage, and the capacity to love and care for others within friendships through prayer. - Engage in the process of repairing broken relationships with humility, grace, and a desire for beauty in brokenness. - Root out bitterness and unforgiveness from friendships, replacing them with prayer and forgiveness to facilitate reconciliation. - Embrace the healing power of forgiveness and prayer, remembering that holding onto bitterness only causes further harm. - Find comfort in God as the perfect friend and reflect His love and forgiveness in all friendships. - Treasure and honor the meaningful memories made within brokenness, seeing them as precious testaments to the resilience of relationships. How would you describe the best leaders you have personally learned from? I think teachability, humility and a deep dependence on Christ would top my list. And therefore, To be a leader is to know how to go to the source to get replenished. To lead well, you need to go to the well yourself. Also, To be an effective Christian leader is to know that you can only lead well when you are led well. And then you go and reproduce in others what Jesus has done in you. In the words of Paul, you are able to say, "… what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2Timothy 2:2 – Paul describes 4 generations of leaders in this passage. Himself, Timothy, who leads others who then will lead others. When you drink from the leading well, you lead well. So, we invite you to join us on The Leading Well, a brand new leadership course by Gospel Spice Ministries. Details at https://www.gospelspice.com/leadership To be a leader is to have a posture of the heart that is always thinking in terms of go, make, do. In the words of Jesus at the great commission, He calls us to GO to all the world, MAKE disciples and Do the things he has called us to do. Go, Make, Do. We see “the well” as a place of refreshing – for yourself but also so that you can bring refreshing through God's Word to others. We want to come alongside you and equip you with a blueprint to lead others well, in the context of your own life and calling – from small groups to one on one mentoring and much larger settings. So, we invite you to join us on The Leading Well. Drink from the well, and lead well. Welcome! Support us on Other, PayPal and Other!

We'll deal with forgiveness, reconciliation, expectations, and how to know if and when it's time to walk away.

There are a lot of conversations about how to have healthy relationships. There are also a lot about how to navigate when a romantic relationship ends. But no one talks about what it looks like when a friendship ends.Our friend and author Elizabeth Laing Thompson knows what it's like to experience the heartbreak of losing friends you used to be so close to. Learn biblical ways to handle those relationship fallouts without personally falling apart. While not all relationships can be mended, we do have a friend in Jesus, who always stays close and has personally felt the sting of betrayal, hurt and rejection.
