Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageIn the Stay Spiritual interview, I talk about the quiet flip from seeking to seeing — the moment when the pressure dissolves and looking into your own present experience becomes the first real step toward peace.So many seekers carry a private heaviness that is difficult to name. It isn't just the desire for awakening; it's the subtle tension of feeling behind, of trying to catch up, of believing that others are closer to something you can't quite touch. The desperation grows quietly, and often nobody sees it. In this conversation, I speak about how that weight begins to fall away when the attention turns from ideas of awakening toward the simplicity of what is here now. When the grasping relaxes, even just a little, something softer begins to open.I also share the beginning of my own journey — the moment a single question revealed that nobody is running the show. It didn't arrive with fireworks or certainty. It came as a simple seeing, unmistakable and ordinary, like noticing something in plain sight that had been missed for years. Nothing dramatic changed, yet everything shifted. I felt more like coming home than discovering something new.If you've been seeking for a long time, if glimpses rise and fade, or if part of you quietly fears that you're missing something essential, I hope this meets you with gentleness. You don't need to push yourself any further. You don't need to earn clarity. You don't need to become someone different. The doorway is not in the future. It's right here in whatever you're experiencing in this moment.Beneath the movement of seeking, there is a natural ease that never leaves. It becomes visible when the fight to get somewhere rests for a moment. When you turn toward your immediate experience — without pressure, without comparison, without trying to fix anything — you begin to feel the ground under your own feet again. And often, that is where the real shift begins.Find James & Justin here:  @stayspiritual  Join my newsletter for updates: https://ilonaciunaite.com/subscribe/Support the showWebsiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com

Aging with ADHD often hides in the background of our conversations, even though so many of us feel its effects every day. In this episode, we bring it forward with help from Jami Shapiro, whose work sits right at the intersection of ADHD, transitions, and later-life planning. She's a senior move manager, ADHD coach, and the voice behind Grandma Has ADHD. Her mix of humor, candor, and lived experience sets the tone for a conversation that feels both comforting and disarming.Jami's ADHD diagnosis arrived in her mid-40s, long after she had built a career, raised children, and weathered major life changes. The bigger surprise came later: realizing her mother had been living with ADHD as well, completely undiagnosed into her seventies. That discovery reshaped not only Jami's understanding of her family history but also the emotional patterns she had carried for decades. It softened old misunderstandings and gave her and her mother a way to talk to each other that hadn't existed before.From there, the conversation widens into the many transitions that come with midlife and beyond—downsizing, empty rooms once filled by children, changing routines, and the simple pressure of making decisions when every choice feels weighty. Jami explains how emotional intensity, uncertainty, and decision fatigue show up more sharply for ADHD adults, especially as responsibilities shift and long-established structures fall away. She walks us through what makes these transitions overwhelming and what actually helps when “just start somewhere” doesn't land.We also spend time on the parent–child dynamic that emerges when adult children try to help their aging parents with organizing or downsizing. Jami gives a clear look at why these roles easily tangle, how shame gets triggered on both sides, and why a neutral guide often makes the work calmer for everyone involved. Her stories from years of senior move management reveal patterns that many families will recognize instantly.There's also a practical side to this conversation: how to create a floor plan before a move, how to sort sentimental objects without spiraling, how to use photos and “family show-and-tell” conversations to preserve memories, and how to stay grounded when technology becomes a barrier. Jami talks openly about scams, tech overwhelm, and the very real worries older adults carry about cognitive decline—topics that are easier to avoid than to name, but essential for keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe.The heart of this episode is simple: learning about ADHD later in life doesn't erase the years behind you, but it can change how you interpret them. It can ease old guilt, untangle family stories, and give you permission to approach the next chapter with more clarity and less self-blame. Jami's work is full of that spirit, and her guidance makes the process of aging with ADHD feel less isolating and more like something we can navigate together.Links & NotesJami ShapiroSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:02) - Support the Show on Patreon (01:48) - Introducing Jami Shapiro • Aging with ADHD (11:04) - Transitions (21:21) - Scams and Cognitive Decline (25:48) - Giving Up vs Letting Go (30:54) - Where to Start?

What if death wasn't something to fear — but a doorway to freedom? In Bali, I witnessed something that completely shifted how I see loss, grief, and letting go.There was no sorrow, no heaviness — only color, laughter, and music. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen, and it made me question everything I thought I knew about death.Maybe letting go isn't an ending after all… maybe it's something more.If this message speaks to you, please share it with a friend or someone navigating grief — it might bring them peace. You can also join the conversation on YouTube or Substack; I'd love to hear your reflections.Related episodes:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 159: When Plans Fail: Divine Redirection in Bali - https://youtu.be/oGZgYhtd89w• 133: Holding On While Letting Go - https://youtu.be/cLtx8986-Hw

This week, the new moon in Scorpio is asking us to release the things that are holding us back, to let go of the old so that the new can be planted in fertile soil. In this week's episode, I'm asking: how do we know what is weighing us down? How do we know what we are supposed to release? And then: how do we step into our life's purpose?

Trying to keep you all on your toes with the format.A sermon on letting go.Preached in the Quiet Room, November 16, 2025.

Culture has changed. Technology has changed. Work has changed. Politics have changed. The environment has changed. You think these changes could have been prevented. Yet what you're forgetting is that this is how it's always been.

Join my Black Friday 5 Days 5 Deals Waitlist --> https://simplysquaredaway.com/bf I'm sharing the belief that's been holding me back. This one's personal. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a belief I've carried with me for decades: “I don't do things I'm not good at.” Oof. It's shaped my business, my confidence, and even how I approach organizing. But recently, something powerful shifted, and I'm sharing exactly what helped me change that belief and what it opened up for me. I want you to think about the identity statements you might be carrying around and how they're showing up in your life and business. Whether it's “I'm bad at tech,” “I've never been organized,” or “I'm not a morning person,” it's time to gently challenge those beliefs and unlock new possibilities. This episode is a heart-to-heart and a pep talk rolled into one. Let's go there together. What you'll learn: How a volleyball memory from high school shaped my identity for decades What a failed launch taught me about self-worth The difference between ability and aptitude—and why it matters so much Three real-life examples where I did things I wasn't good at (and succeeded) How to rewrite your identity statement so you can organize and grow Why coaching matters when you're stuck in your own beliefs A simple exercise to challenge limiting beliefs and create new ones For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/138

Have you ever struggled with unforgiveness? If we're honest I believe we all have. But that's not how God wants us to live. Even though He commands us to forgive, it's not  just to let the other person off the hook. He wants us to forgive because He knows how holding onto resentment can cause a cancer to grow in our hearts, hurting us so much more than the person who caused the hurt. In this episode I'll share several instances where God convicted me of my unforgiving heart as well as a parable where Jesus shows us how ungrateful we are when we don't forgive.

If you've ever looked at someone else's pace…their ideas…their methods… and thought, "I should be more like that,"this episode is going to hit home. Because what if you aren't supposed to be like them?  In this episode, I pull back the curtain on something I've wrestled with: How do you trust your own rhythm, your own path when everyone around you seems to be going faster or doing it differently?  I cover: How your energy teaches, even when you don't realize it What if someone needs to see the way you live? What if honoring your way is the work? Tune in if you've ever felt "too slow," "too sensitive," or like your way of operating doesn't fit the world.

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph opens up about one of the hardest—and most rewarding—parts of scaling a business: building a high-performing team. Drawing from her experience growing multiple businesses and leading The Wealthy Practitioner to new levels, Steph gets raw about what it really takes to lead at a championship level. From firing team members you love to setting "Netflix-level" standards of excellence, she shares the mindset, structure, and culture shifts required to build a team that truly wins. Steph walks through the evolution of her leadership over the last three years, the lessons learned from building teams across multiple companies, and how she's now creating her own TWP Culture Memo inspired by Netflix's Dream Team philosophy. You'll learn how to recognize when someone isn't the right fit, how to elevate your expectations without guilt, and how to attract A-players who thrive under high standards. Whether you're managing your first hire or running a full operation, this episode will challenge you to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction. Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction: Why Team Is the Key to Freedom 02:12 – The Realities of Leadership: Gray Hair, Growth, and Hard Decisions 04:01 – Building the Early TWP Team and What Changed in 2024 06:14 – Setting Championship-Level Standards Before "Full Send" 09:20 – Letting Go of a Team Member and the Pain of Tough Calls 11:43 – The Netflix Culture Memo: The Dream Team vs. the Family Model 16:02 – The Core Values That Create A-Player Teams 20:34 – What Happens When You Raise the Bar (and People Step Up) 24:18 – Avoiding Complacency: How to Keep a Team Hungry and Driven 27:40 – Leading Without Permission: Developing Independent Thinkers 31:56 – Why Your Team Mirrors Your Energy 35:22 – The Hard Truth: Not Everyone Grows with You 38:04 – How Firing Someone Opens Space for Alignment 41:10 – Final Thoughts: The Stranded Island Test for Building Your Dream Team Key Takeaways - Your team determines your freedom. You can't scale or lead without people who are fully bought into your mission. - Set standards that feel uncomfortable. Leadership means making decisions most people won't. - You attract what you embody. If you want A-players, show up like an A-player. - Culture isn't perks—it's performance. Build a professional sports team, not a family. - Letting go isn't cruel—it's kind. Releasing the wrong person creates alignment for everyone involved.

Resentment can feel heavy - like carrying around invisible baggage that weighs you down, day after day. Maybe it's anger towards an ex, frustration with family, or disappointment about how life turned out. Whatever form it takes, resentment steals your energy and blocks your joy. In this episode, we're unpacking what resentment really is, why it lingers, and how to begin releasing it - gently and intentionally. I'll guide you through a simple self-assessment to recognise where resentment might be showing up in your body, mind, or relationships, and share practical tools to help you move from frustration to freedom.

Boundaries aren't just about saying no - they're about finally seeing clearly. In this episode, I break down how boundary work forces us out of fantasy and into reality, and why this shift brings up grief, sadness, and confusion before it brings peace. We explore what detachment actually means (loving without carrying), why acceptance always asks us to grieve the illusions we've held onto, and how seeing the truth opens the path to emotional freedom, self-respect, and grounded decision-making. Three Things to Think About: 1. Why clarity feels uncomfortable before it feels freeing — and how boundaries shift you from potential to reality in ways you may not expect. 2. What healthy detachment really looks like — and why it's not distance, coldness, or giving up, but something far more grounded and compassionate. 3. How grief and acceptance quietly shape boundary work — and how these emotions help you stop carrying what was never yours to hold.   Sometimes the hardest goodbye  is to the version of someone you hoped  they'd be.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this week's episode, we're diving into the truth that change isn't always something to fear—sometimes it's exactly what we need. Inspired by the famous fig tree analogy from The Bell Jar, we chat about how overwhelming it can feel to choose a path… and how empowering it is to finally pick a fig and trust yourself.We also get real about why we assume everyone is “going through something,” and how freeing it can be to release that narrative and give people (and ourselves) a little more grace. Traci shares her own recent perspective shifts and the ways she's learning to welcome change instead of resisting it.Plus, our pop culture moment is stacked: we break down our current show recs, all the Dancing With the Stars drama, and of course—Traci's sports corner makes a triumphant return.A cozy, reflective, and surprisingly uplifting episode about choosing your life, trusting the timing, and remembering that not every change is a crisis.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer guides listeners through one of the most transformative practices in mindfulness and recovery: letting go. Whether it's old fears, expectations, resentments, or the emotional weight we've carried for years, Jim explains how release is not weakness—it's liberation. Through grounded insight, 12-step philosophy, and real-world examples, Jim explores: • Why letting go feels so difficult • How control and fear keep us stuck • The connection between surrender and mindfulness • How to recognize what you're still carrying • Practical ways to soften your grip and reclaim peace This episode invites you to step out of old patterns and into a more open, honest, intentional life. If you're ready to grow, breathe, and move forward—this conversation is for you.

Do you ever feel like you're behind—as a writer, as a Christian, or just in life? Maybe you've caught yourself thinking, “Shouldn't I be more spiritually mature by now?” or “Is it too late to write my book?” This mindset of being “behind” is one that many of us carry, but it's built on ideas that don't line up with truth.In this episode, I unpack three root issues behind the “I'm behind” soundtrack that plays in our heads—our identity, our value system, and our tendency to compare. You'll be reminded that God doesn't measure progress by speed or visible success but by faithfulness. Whether you're just starting out or have been on this journey for years, you are not behind—you are right where God has you. In This Episode:* How our mental image of “what a real writer (or Christian) looks like” feeds feelings of being behind* The difference between cultural timelines and God's process of growth* Why God values faithfulness over speed or output* How comparison distorts our sense of progress—and how to realign with God's truth* Encouragement for writers who feel “late to the game”If you'd like to dive deeper into the unbiblical mindsets that get in our way as writers, download the “Christian Writer's Mindset Makeover”.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset episode dives into the real meaning of forgiveness… and why it's something we do for ourselves, not for the other person. Our inspiration comes from Maya Angelou's quote, “Forgiveness is not something we do for others. We do it for ourselves, to get well and move on.”

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening: You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you. Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn't actually as fragile as you think...it's just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability. This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest. What You'll LearnWhy insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everythingHow your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms themA practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sidewaysHow triggers point to deeper inner work you've been avoidingWhy protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven't mastered yeWill digs into:How this same lesson plays out with his daughterWhen “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassingWhy understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle itHow to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numbWhy This Matters If you're on a spiritual path, you're going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people's emotional chaos. It's not about perfection. It's about awareness. Control. Choice. Perfect For You If:You're tired of absorbing other people's crapYou react too quickly and regret itYou're working on boundaries or emotional intelligenceYou're ready to level up your spiritual resilienceWant to Support the Show?

Episode 2802: Colin Wright explores an unconventional but powerful way to reframe the end of a relationship, by throwing a breakup party. Rather than mourning or denying the loss, celebrating it helps shift focus to growth, closure, and the positive aspects of change, turning an emotional ending into an intentional new beginning. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/throw-breakup-party/ Quotes to ponder: "Instead of wallowing or bottling things up or pretending everything is okay when it isn't, you treat the end of a relationship like a significant, emotional event." "You don't pretend nothing's changed, you embrace the change and make something of it." "A breakup party can be a way to reflect, to show appreciation, and to reframe what's happened as a net-positive, or at the very least, a meaningful experience."

Designing a Sustainable Therapy Career: Reflections on Burnout, Legacy, and Letting Go Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy reflect on what it takes to build and sustain a meaningful therapy career and how to leave the profession well. They explore professional identity, burnout, and how to stay connected to the work without losing yourself in it. Drawing from recent interviews with Lynn Grodzki, Margaret Wehrenberg, and Ofra Obejas, they share insights on sustainability, capacity, and creating a “good finish” for your therapy career. Key Takeaways for Therapists: Therapists need intentional career design. Sustainability doesn't happen by accident. Burnout can distort your love for the work and your professional identity. Regular reflection helps ensure your career still aligns with your values and capacity. Building community and connection is essential to avoiding isolation in private practice. Planning early for closure allows for a more graceful and fulfilling finish.

High performers often build from pressure instead of peace. In this episode, discover how faith reshapes ambition — and how to move from striving for success to building with divine partnership, just like Nehemiah.When high performance becomes the only way you know how to feel safe, surrender feels foreign. But the moment you stop striving to build something for God and begin building with Him — peace replaces pressure, and purpose finds its true form.In this Sunday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores what it means to trade ambition for alignment through the story of Nehemiah, who rebuilt Jerusalem not through hustle but through holy partnership. His leadership shows us the difference between the Tower — built to make a name — and the Temple — built to host Presence.This conversation speaks directly to high-capacity humans navigating success fatigue, spiritual exhaustion, and identity drift. It's a grounded, faith-forward invitation to trust that obedience is strategy — and that divine partnership isn't weakness, it's wisdom.You'll learn how to discern whether you're building from pressure or Presence, and what it looks like to lead from sufficiency rather than scarcity. Because the Sovereign never asked you to hold it all together — only to stay aligned with truth.The Recalibration isn't another mindset hack or leadership tactic. It's the root-level identity alignment that makes every other tool effective again — the small internal shift that changes how you build, lead, and live.Today's Micro Recalibration: In prayer or reflection, ask: “Am I building this for recognition or for relationship?” Let the answer come gently. Peace will always reveal what's pure.Semantic keyword clusters: burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, faith and performance, leadership burnout, identity drift, high performer faith, divine partnership, surrender and success, rebuilding with God, purpose realignment, presence over performance.Named entities: Nehemiah, Tower of Babel, Temple of GodIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
