This week we sit down with Timmy's sister-in-law, Yara. Yara is a kind soul, who possesses the gift of comfort. At a young age, Yara knew she wanted to be an end-of-life doula, to help people prepare for death.

Yara shares fascinating stories of how she helped clients, and their families feel comfortable during hard times. We also touch on Yara's journey as a medium between the dead and living, and how one random event allowed her to discover a new power. Yara's message is simple; if you lead with love, you can do no wrong. Enjoy!Episode resources:Sponsor:Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

Lead with Love: A Journey of Discovery by Jack Russell Amazon.com Selfsustainingleadership.com Have you always known love?” a dear friend asked Jack as they were driving home on a dark, bitterly cold winter night. It took a mile or so before he responded, “Yes.” He felt the prevalent darkness deep in his being. It was an emotionally turbulent moment in his life. His wife had recently died after a short illness. But he also experienced Love in the deepest moments of his despair bringing rays of light and hope to the darkness. Yes, he could truly say that he had experienced Love's comfort, guidance, healing, and protection in many, many ways throughout his life. His friend continued, “What is this Love that you've known?” Her question was the beginning of a focused journey of exploration and discovery lasting well over a decade. In 1997, Jack created a cutting edge, quantum leadership model for the 21st century—Self-Sustaining Leadership. At its core, it says we are all connected, entangled together in a web-of-life. Leadership is about relationships; how we connect with others and ourselves in ways that contribute to our collective well-being, productivity, health, and peace. It is Love, a universal principle that sustains this connection; that connects us heart-to-heart. But how do we live this connection with ourselves and others in our daily lives? How does Love guide us to know what is the morally right thing to do in different situations? How do we practice loving ourselves so we can love others more deeply? How does fear and love motivate us in everything we do? What does Love have to do with leadership? Jack takes us on a journey of discovery in answering these questions and more. In doing so, he shows us how to lead with Love! As I read Jack's work,” one reader offers, “it feels like he's sharing with me, like we're having a conversation. He speaks to my heart.” This book is about connecting heart-to-heart.About the author Jack is a proven leader, author, executive coach-mentor, organization trainer-instructor, and entrepreneur. He is a leadership visionary who, in 1997, created a cutting-edge Self-Sustaining Leadership model based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It was the fulfillment of a life-long quest to discover a 21st-century model to meet the universal need for holistic, multi-dimensional, skillful, and morally courageous leaders in real-world settings. Describing his work, people comment on Jack's visionary insights along with his integrity, trustworthiness, engagement, deep listening, and selfless heart character traits. He has a diverse coaching, teaching and training background ranging from the U.S. Army to early child care, secondary and higher education to businesses and non-profits. Having lived and served in several countries, he brings a global perspective and a deep respect for diverse cultures to his work. He lives among the Green Mountains of Vermont with his wife, Glenda, who partners with him in the leadership work.

What if your season of waiting isn't a setback, but a setup for something greater? In the final installment of The Book of James series, Pastor Travis delivers a powerful and hope-filled message: waiting time is not wasted time. When we're waiting—on healing, breakthrough, purpose, or a promise—we often feel like nothing is happening. But the truth is, God is working behind the scenes, refining us, strengthening our faith, and preparing us for what's next. Just like a farmer patiently waits for the harvest, trusting the unseen process, we too must trust that God's timing is perfect. Through the stories of Joseph, Habakkuk, and Hannah, Pastor Travis reminds us that every great move of God is preceded by a season of waiting. And just like lifting heavy weights builds strength, the weight of trials is actually building us up, not breaking us down. Jesus Himself carried the ultimate weight—the cross—showing us that even our heaviest burdens have purpose. You don't have to carry them alone. There is power in trusting God, in community, and in prayer. If you're in a season of waiting, don't lose hope—your miracle, your breakthrough, your harvest is coming. Don't miss this message. It might just change the way you see waiting forever.

Whether you're navigating family dynamics, friendships, or community spaces, this conversation offers heart-centred strategies to cultivate connection, even amidst differences.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

In this powerful conversation, Jeff Perera, founder of Higher Unlearning, joins Boysen Hodgson to discuss modern masculinity, societal division, and how men can navigate these complexities with accountability, compassion, and integrity.Key Ideas:The Era of Surfacing: Over the past decade, hard truths about race, gender, and accountability have emerged, forcing people to either lean in or push back.The Trust Famine & Empathy Deficit: Deep distrust in institutions has led to defensive behaviors and a lack of empathy in public discourse.The Gardening Metaphor: Change requires patience—nurturing relationships, growing understanding, and allowing transformation rather than discarding people.The Accountability Challenge: True accountability must be invited, not imposed. Without agreements, we can't demand accountability from others.The Inner Compass for Men: A four-step framework for growth: Determine who you are – Define your values.Be what you believe – Align actions with values.Show up for the consequences – Own your impact.Do better than yesterday – Commit to growth.On-Ramps vs. Backflips: Creating accessible entry points for change is more effective than demanding instant transformation.Reframing Masculinity: Instead of just telling men to "do better," we must emphasize healing, self-awareness, and personal growth.The Role of Love & Compassion: Engaging men in change requires making them feel seen, valued, and invited—not shamed or discarded.Jeff and Boysen explore the paradox of isolation vs. connection, the power of self-awareness, and how men can build a healthier masculinity in uncertain times.Learn more about Jeff: https://higherunlearning.com/Text Us Your Feedback!

On this Valentine's Day episode, which emphasizes love and connection, I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of leading with love. This episode is inspired by my late mother-in-law, who played a significant role in my life for nearly 40 years. Her recent passing has prompted me to reflect on the themes of vulnerability and the necessity of dropping our emotional armour. I share the concept of vulnerability, discussing how many of us have been conditioned to be strong and stoic, often at the expense of our emotional well-being. I recount my struggles with this armour, which I believed was my strength, and how it ultimately led to a disconnection from myself and others. Through subconscious reprogramming and a commitment to change, I learned to create a sense of safety from within, allowing me to be seen and to connect more deeply with those around me.

Good or bad, our choices tend to be impacted by messages from society, culture, family, and friends. These messages, sometimes referred to as social pressure, or “peer pressure,” can push us to behave in certain ways or make specific decisions. Although social pressure can be a factor in our lives, it is not the only thing that influences our decisions.

Song: One Foot/Lead with Love Music by: Melanie DeMore Notes: Melanie DeMore both entrances and intimidates people -- she is direct, funny, a fabulous story-teller, and fierce and broad in her love. I have to apologize to listeners for the sound quality of this interview -- we had some microphone glitches on both sides that means despite the best sound studio wizardry I could come up with, there's some distortion, and it's not the usual quality of sound. But the quality of content -- where it counts -- is top-notch. Melanie shares One Foot/Lead with Love, including the story of what sparked its creation. She talks about her family, and how the wisdom and experiences of her parents shaped the way she approaches people who hold different world views. We talk about coyotes, kids, accolades, how she takes care of herself on tour as a "4-star, card-carrying introvert". She sends us out with a charge: “Here's what you need to do, people out there: keep your head up. Keep your heart wide open. Remember to breathe, and keep doing the work. Sing on.”   Songwriter Info: Melanie DeMore is a 3 time Grammy nominated singer/composer, choral conductor, music director, and vocal activist who believes in the power of voices raised together.

This Christmas Eve, join us for a heartwarming episode that dives into the power of leading with love in a world that desperately needs it. We'll explore how acts of kindness, compassion, and selflessness can transform our relationships and communities.

Joy looks different to each person and can be found in everyday situations. Some people find joy in caring for others, spiritual connections, being creative, having alone time... The materialistic society we live in has led many to believe that happiness is something to be chased, to obtain. The ultimate end goal that leads to everlasting joy, bliss and contentment.True, lasting happiness or joy is a state of mind. It comes from within. A deliberate, learned response to life that can be consciously and proactively cultivated, regardless of the forces outside of ourselves... Our intent is to help you soften into this style of mindset based on YOUR unique way.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

Want to learn how to lead with love instead of fear? In his interview with Adam Hill, former Air Force officer and speaker Patrick Yanke shares how focusing on virtues like forgiveness, gratitude, and humility can help you overcome struggles and lead others effectively.  Patrick draws on his experience in the military and faith to discuss how we can all practice "sacrificial leadership" by putting others first - even in difficult times. Don't miss this insightful conversation on rising above challenges through a servant's heart.  Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Where leadership begins and why we always have poor people How the question on authority brought him back to faith Why shame is a gift Understanding Christ-like leadership Our job is forgiveness. The servant leader CARES Episode Highlights: [08:53] Where leadership begins Patrick quotes William Penn saying "No man is fit to command another who could not command himself." Where true leadership begins is being able to follow others doing things the right way. [10:34] Why we will always have poor people We will always have poor people so that we have opportunities to practice love. The poor give us a chance to choose to love others through helping and serving those in need. [11:49] It was the question on authority that brought him back to faith. Patrick nearly lost his faith during a family crisis but later found his way back to rebuilding his Catholic faith from the ground up, taking on the zealousness of a religious convert or "revert". [17:46] Shame is a gift. Patrick viewed the feeling of shame over sin as a gift because it helps one recognize their sin and turn back to God in repentance. When we turn around, there is no place where God is not with us.  [23:53] Our job is forgiveness. Patrick discusses how anger turns bad as wrath, explaining God says vengeance is His, not ours to carry - our job is forgiveness. [26:39] Love vs. fear: The heart of servant leadership Patrick contrasts fear, which is selfish, and love, which is unselfish and about helping others complete the mission as a servant leader through ensuring the work gets done while also showing love to the people doing it. [29:02] The servant leader CARES. Patrick shares that his acronym for servant leadership is CARES, standing for Communication, Commitment, Responsibility, Evolution, and Service. [33:00] Does love require sacrifice?  Yes, it does. Because in true love, you're giving up something of yourself for someone else.  [42:04] Without free will, there's no love. Patrick explains that without free will, there could be no love, because for there to be true love requires the ability to freely choose to love others. [43:06] How to lead ourselves Recognize emotions and associated virtues/vices. Discipline negative emotions through virtues. Pray daily prayers incorporating virtues. And humbly seek God's will over personal wants.
