We call out the moment self-development turns into a performance and why “doing the work” can keep you stuck. We push for embodiment, nervous system change, and real integrity so your growth shows up in how you live, not what you post. • performative healing and the trap of “doing the most” • why trying to measure healing creates more suffering • embodiment over information and the nervous system as the real driver • why confidence and peace must be lived before they “show up” • being it when nobody is watching and refusing social media optics • the in between identity phase and why feeling lost is normal • stopping the endless hunt to find yourself and letting identity be revealed • simplicity as the scaleable path and dropping the excuse of “I'm trying” This is an invitation to you to join the DG Mindset Academy because guess what?

Is it time to let it go?Whether it's a grudge, resentment, disappointment, or a story you've been telling yourself for years, holding on can take a tremendous amount of energy. It can impact your relationships, your peace of mind, and your ability to move forward.In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the idea of forgiveness, letting go, and the expectations we place on both ourselves and others. We discuss why people hold on to old hurts, how our stories become reinforced over time, and why seeing our own blind spots can be one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of personal growth.This isn't a conversation about excusing bad behavior or pretending difficult experiences didn't happen. It's a conversation about the freedom that can come from releasing what no longer serves you and deciding what kind of life you want to carry forward.Topics Covered:• Is it time to let go?• The emotional cost of holding grudges• Why forgiveness can be difficult• The stories we tell ourselves• Expectations and disappointment• Seeing your own blind spots• Extending an olive branch• Taking responsibility for your part• Letting go without reconciliation• Social media and reinforced beliefs• Choosing peace over being right• The value of self-reflectionThank you for listening to The Almost Daily Podcast.Sometimes the heaviest things we carry are the stories, resentments, and disappointments we've held onto for years. Letting go doesn't change the past, but it can change what you carry into the future.
Indigenous artist Dr. Lyla June Johnston leads a 5-minute freewriting exercise about our personal journeys. Autobiographical writing has been shown to help do better in relationships and feel more satisfied in life.How to Do This Practice: Ground yourself: Sit in a comfortable position and take a few slow breaths. Notice the inhale and exhale without trying to change anything. Let your attention settle into your body and the present moment. Set a simple intention: Bring to mind the idea of observing your story with curiosity rather than judgment. You're not trying to write something “good,” just something honest. Write the sentence: “I come from a place where…” and pause briefly before continuing. Let the words that follow come from memory, feeling, or imagery—whatever shows up first. Free-write without stopping: Keep your pen moving for several minutes (around 3–5 minutes, or longer if you like). Don't edit, filter, or worry about grammar or meaning. If you get stuck, repeat the prompt and continue. Notice what emerged: When time is up, read what you wrote slowly. Notice any themes, emotions, memories, or insights that stand out—without trying to fix or interpret them immediately. Reflect and return: Take a moment to acknowledge your experience of the exercise. You might ask: What surprised me? What feels important? Revisit this practice every few weeks or months to notice how your sense of origin and story evolves Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Happiness Break Guide:DR.

Friendship was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be transformative. And often, the transformation doesn't come from finding better people—it comes from learning how to forgive the imperfect ones already in your life. In this month's episode, we explored a topic most of us would rather avoid: forgiveness. Through one deeply personal story, we were reminded: forgiveness isn't optional—it's the doorway to the kind of relationships that actually last. Show Notes: In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss chapter four of the book Made for People by Justin Whitmel Earley. The Psalms give us an example of what honest, unfiltered prayer looks like.

Peace isn't found in gripping tighter.

Yesterday my heart broke a little — and then my son handed me a piece of wisdom I'm still carrying. He'd worked so hard for a spot on a travel baseball team. He was sure he had it. And then the no came, and I watched my 12-year old question his worth in a way I know all too well. But after all the tears and the what-ifs were out, he looked at me and said something I'll never forget. This episode is about the two choices life hands every one of us, every single day: to see problems, or to see possibilities. Because the difference between a heavy heart and a peaceful one is almost never the circumstance. It's the looking glass. If you've ever stood in front of a closed door and heard maybe I'm just not enough — this one's for you. What this episode is really about The moment my son felt "not good enough" — and the surprising thing he understood Why feeling your hard feelings first is part of the healing, not a detour around it The two looking glasses: problems or possibilities, fear or faith, complaining or gratitude How the same closed door can mean "something's wrong with me" or "something's being protected in me" Why your worth was never up for the team, the number, or anyone's yes A few lines from the episode "You are chosen. You are loved. And I know this is hard." "Mom… God must have been protecting me from something He knows that I don't." "The difference between a heavy heart and a peaceful one is perspective." "Same event. Two completely different lives lived from it." "The closed door doesn't always mean something is wrong with you. Sometimes it means something is being protected for you." A gentle invitation If you're in a season where every looking glass seems to show you a problem — where you can't quite find the possibility on your own — you don't have to find it alone. That's what walking with someone is for. You can find me and the ways we can work together at www.herbestself.co, and come be held by the women in our community at www.herbestselfsociety.com.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "If I can't do it perfectly, why even bother?" — this one's for you, friend. Welcome to the very first episode of a brand-new summer series, where I'm sharing shorter, more unfiltered, off-the-cuff thoughts on the mindset of success — the gaps I'm watching come up again and again for the overachieving women I coach every single week. We're kicking it off with the barrier I see derail more smart women than almost any other, especially this time of year: all-or-nothing thinking. It's the pattern that quietly convinces you to take your foot all the way off the gas the moment your calendar isn't perfect. And here's the part most overachievers never calculate — it's costing you the wins you could be having right now. In this episode, I'll walk you through where this pattern actually comes from, why it feels so convincing, and the one question that can change everything (without requiring A++ effort).

I’ll walk you through practical ways to uncover the gifts you’ve been taking for granted, and I close with a live light language transmission to help release what’s been keeping your true voice quiet. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer picture of who you are, what you bring, and how to let that be the foundation of your next chapter. In this episode, you'll discover: Why so many women learn to hide their light long before midlife — and how that pattern quietly follows you into your 50s and 60s The real cost of not valuing your own talents, told through a four-year story about underpricing my copywriting services A simple but powerful exercise for uncovering the gifts you've been taking for granted How journaling, testimonials, and honest feedback from people who know you can reveal your unique value A live light language transmission to help release old blocks around worthiness Resources & links mentioned: Download your free L.O.V.E.

This week's episode is a different kind of one: a very open and honest letter to my postpartum self. I've been sitting on this episode for months, pulling back the curtain on the lowest-revenue year of my business (around $100K less in 2025 than the year before), the identity crisis nobody warned me about, and how I rebuilt my business to be *even better* than it was pre baby. But this episode isn't just for moms. It's about what happens to your motivation, your confidence, and your sense of self when life rips your old schedule out of your hands and what it actually takes to rebuild, on your own terms, without forcing yourself back into who you used to be.In this episode, we talk about:Why "drop the timelines" is the first thing I'd tell my past self, and why healing, rebuilding, or finding your footing again has no deadline, no matter what month 3, 6, or 12 says you should feel likeThe sneaky way shame shows up for high achievers and how it's different from guilt, told through a Brené Brown lesson that changed how I saw my entire postpartum yearWhy comparing yourself to people who aren't in the same season as you (different support, different circumstances, different everything) is setting yourself up to feel like you're failing on purposeThe real difference between losing your motivation and having it redirected, and why "I have no ideas anymore" might actually mean your bandwidth went somewhere else entirelyWhy having a personal-growth heavy brand doesn't mean you're not allowed to struggle, and the imposter syndrome that comes with teaching mindset work while losing your ownThe capability vs. character framework from therapy that explains why even the most confident people can feel like they've lost themselves completelyWhy I stopped asking "what's realistic" and started asking "what do I actually want," and how that shift is what got my business having solid recurring revenue through 2027The belief I didn't even know I had and what it took to unlearn itWhy "the story you need to be on camera and posting constantly to sell" is a story I made up, and how I built a business that doesn't run on that anymorePop this episode on when you're in a season that feels too permanent to get out of: postpartum, burnout, or just feeling like a stranger in your own life. This one's proof: it's temporary, and you already know how to build.Listen to similar episodes:227. Redefining Success After Motherhood: Pivots, Identity & Letting Go of Comparison Ft.

Craving childhood comfort foods? You're not alone—and there's a fascinating reason why certain tastes and memories hit us harder than others.Discover how food nostalgia and emotional anchors shape what we crave, what we remember, and what we mourn when we change our diets. From Swiss rolls that lit up lunchtime to the magic of childhood candies, explore how our food memories aren't just about taste, they're about safety, routine, and identity. We break down the science behind the Proust effect, revealing how smells and flavors trigger emotional memories that can influence your food choices today.

Plus, learn why your palate evolution, and the changing ingredients in beloved treats, make some foods taste completely different now.This episode is perfect for anyone navigating dietary changes, battling food cravings, or curious about the deep connection between food and emotion. Whether you miss the thrill of a childhood treat or want to understand your ongoing food rituals, you'll leave with a new perspective on the grief, and joy, of eating.Why do we grieve our favorite foods? How do memories shape your current cravings? And what does your food nostalgia say about who you are today? Tune in to explore these questions—and maybe even find the courage to indulge in that nostalgic snack guilt-free.Warning: listening may inspire you to revisit some old favorites, but beware—you might just start craving a Swiss roll or a big bag of Doritos all over again.

On today's episode, Andy answers your questions on how to know when to give advice and when to let people learn through experience, how to lead effectively without micro-managing your team, and how to deal with feeling behind even when you're making good money.
Motherhood has never come with more information, advice, and expectations than it does today. Every scroll through social media offers another parenting expert, another strategy, and another reminder of what we "should" be doing. While access to information can be helpful, it can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and wondering if we're ever doing enough.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Morgan Cutlip explores the invisible mental and emotional load that so many moms carry. From managing household responsibilities to regulating emotions, coordinating schedules, and trying to create the perfect childhood, the pressure can feel relentless.We discuss why comparison is a natural human tendency, how expectations formed throughout our lives can quietly shape our parenting, and why unmet expectations often become the roots of resentment. Dr. Morgan shares practical ways to have honest conversations with your partner about parenting pressures and the frustrations that keep surfacing.One of the most meaningful parts of this conversation is the idea of choosing a parenting anchor. Instead of trying to excel in every area, what if you focused on one thing that matters most in this season? Having an anchor gives us something steady to return to when the noise and expectations start pulling us in every direction.Most importantly, this episode is an invitation for moms to share their real stories. When we talk honestly about the challenges, frustrations, and growing pains of motherhood, we help other women realize they are not alone. The more we pull back the curtain on the realities of parenting, the less power shame, guilt, and comparison have over us.If you've ever felt weighed down by the mental load of motherhood, struggled with unrealistic expectations, or wondered if everyone else has it figured out, this conversation is for you. In This Episode We Discuss: The three zones of energy: physical, mental, and emotional Why emotional labor is often the most draining part of motherhood How information overload is making parenting feel harder Expectations, resentment, and relationship challenges after becoming parents Practical conversations couples can have about parenting pressures Choosing a parenting anchor for your current season The concept of intensive mothering and the guilt it creates Raising resilient kids without burning yourself out The power of sharing authentic stories and supporting one another Connect with Dr. Morgan Cutlip: Website: Dr. Morgan Cutlip Instagram: Dr. Morgan Cutlip | Mental Load, Marriage and Motherhood (@drmorgancutlip) Links Mentioned: A Better Share: By Morgan Cutlip [book] Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself [book] The MomCo [mom ministry] Better Share [quiz] Motherhood Reflection Guide [pdf] Related Episodes: Unpacking Moms' Mental Load :: Dr. Morgan Cutlip [Ep 503] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Organize Your Mental Load :: Laurel Denise [Ep 444] Featured Sponsors: LifePro: For a limited time, our listeners can get $20 OFF the Waver Vibration Plate plus Free Shipping with code [DMA] at lifeprofitness.com Square: If you're starting a business, or running one that deserves better tools, Square helps you sell, manage, and grow without slowing down.

In this episode of Translating ADHD, Asher and Dusty explore the complex relationship between ADHD, perfectionism, and the pursuit of mastery. They discuss how perfectionism often blocks people with ADHD from starting new tasks or hobbies because of unrealistic expectations of immediate perfection. The hosts emphasize the challenge of appreciating incremental progress, noting that the ADHD brain craves instant results, which can lead to frustration and loss of interest before meaningful skill development occurs. They highlight the importance of intentionally practicing skills in small, manageable increments, using strategies like gamification, setting deadlines, and breaking tasks into smaller chunks to maintain motivation and follow-through. Asher shares his personal journey of learning to cook by shifting his mindset from seeing cooking as a chore to treating it as a skill to be developed deliberately. Dusty adds that mastering the skill of practicing itself is crucial for people with ADHD, especially when juggling multiple interests. They also discuss the value of recognizing when to let go of the pressure to excel and instead accept being “good enough” at some skills, which can be liberating. Both hosts agree that understanding how to build skills and knowing when to release expectations can help people with ADHD engage more meaningfully with their passions and daily activities.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Letting Go of Being Right: How to Take Your Power Back and Choose Inner PeaceAs recovering people pleasers and codependents, many of us learned that if we could just explain ourselves better, convince someone of our point of view, or get them to see things our way, everything would finally feel okay.The problem is that living this way keeps us on an emotional battlefield.We become exhausted trying to manage, control, fix, defend, and prove. We fight for approval. We fight to be understood. We fight to be right. And underneath all of that fighting is often something much more tender: a desire to feel safe, valued, heard, and enough.In this episode, I share a very personal story from my own marriage that reminded me how quickly old patterns can surface, even after years of healing. What started as an innocent comment from my husband unexpectedly activated a deep fear inside me, creating an opportunity to witness an old protective system that still occasionally shows up.The beautiful thing about this work is that awareness changes everything.As we heal, we begin to recognize that letting go of being right does not mean giving up our voice. It doesn't mean abandoning our needs, our boundaries, or our truth. Instead, it means releasing the belief that our peace depends on someone else agreeing with us.When we stop fighting every battle, we discover something powerful: we can stand in our truth without needing to control anyone else's.When we release the need to prove, convince, defend, and manage, we create space for something much deeper: compassion, connection, and inner freedom.Your voice matters.Your feelings matter.Your perspective matters.And you don't need anyone else's permission for that to be true.Until next time, namaste.
Do you ever look at another family and wonder why parenting isn't seems so much easier for them?If you're raising a neurodivergent child, it's easy to fall into the comparison trap. You see the child sitting quietly at a performance, the family whose house always seems organized, or the parent who appears calm and confident. Suddenly, you're questioning yourself, your parenting, and even your child.In this episode, co-host, friend, and fellow neurodivergent mom Ashley Schultz is back to talk about the hidden cost of comparison, why feeling judged often leads to isolation, and how parents can break free from the cycle of self-doubt, shame, and discouragement.Together, they share personal stories, practical mindset shifts, and simple ways to start noticing the good in yourself and your child again.Key Takeaways:• The ways comparison makes us focus on our struggles and other people's strengths.• Why feeling judged often leads to isolation and disconnection.• How compassion helps us see both the challenges and the strengths in ourselves and our children.• Looking for the good can retrain your brain and strengthen connection.If you're feeling alone, overwhelmed, or like everyone else has parenting figured out except you, this conversation will remind you that you're not failing and you're not the only one.Join the FREE class: Emotional Regulation for Neurodivergent Kids: https://emily-hamblin.com/class
EPISODE 459 | INNER VOICE – A HEARTFELT CHAT WITH DR. FOOJAN What if anger isn't something to suppress, avoid, or fear—but a powerful emotion that can be understood, managed, and transformed into a force for growth? In this compelling episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zeine welcomes renowned psychologist, author, and anger management expert Dr. Mitch Abrams for a deep conversation about the psychology of anger, emotional regulation, trauma, resilience, relationships, and personal transformation. Drawing from more than two decades of experience in sport psychology, clinical psychology, forensic psychology, and correctional mental health, Dr. Abrams challenges the common belief that anger is a "negative emotion." Instead, he explains how anger can become a valuable ally when recognized early, understood properly, and channeled effectively. As Chief Psychologist overseeing psychological services for seven New Jersey state prisons and Founder of Learned Excellence for Athletes, Dr. Abrams offers unique insights into how anger impacts athletes, executives, families, couples, and society at large. Together, Dr. Foojan and Dr. Abrams explore the emotional, cognitive, and physiological aspects of anger, providing practical tools for emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and lasting personal growth. Based on his groundbreaking book, "I'm Not F***ing Angry!!! Adjust the Flames to Get What You Want and Need," this episode reveals how to move beyond emotional reactivity and cultivate greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
On today's episode of The Last Days Podcast we hear from Pastor Todd about how focusing on the past will prevent you from fulfilling God's call for your life.

Letting Go of Loopholes | Have you ever looked for a loophole? A way to justify what you want, avoid what's hard, or explain away what you know is right? We all do it—and it impacts our relationships, our choices, and even our faith.In this message from our Losing Religion series, we explore the powerful new command Jesus gave His followers: “Love one another as I have loved you.” And when you really understand what Jesus meant, it changes everything.Jesus didn't come to pile on more religious rules. He came to replace loophole living with a love that's personal, sacrificial, honest, and transformational.In this message, you'll discover:• Why loopholes slowly damage your faith• What Jesus meant by “a new command”• Why love is more demanding than religion• How loopholes affect honesty, gossip, generosity, and relationships• Why Jesus followers should be known for love—not religious behavior• The one question that can guide every decision you makeIf you've ever tried to justify unhealthy choices…If faith has felt more about rules than relationships…If you've wondered what Jesus actually wants from you……this message will challenge and encourage you.Jesus reduced all the religious complexity down to one command: love people the way He has loved you. No loopholes. No excuses. Just a better way to live.Because nobody regrets choosing love the way Jesus defines it.
We live in a world obsessed with self-improvement and optimization, but growth isn't always about adding more. Sometimes the most meaningful transformation comes from letting go of the beliefs, patterns, and survival strategies that no longer serve us. In this episode, we explore why healing is often less about leveling up and more about releasing what's been holding us back. Ready to do the work and go deeper in your own healing?

What if the greatest adventure isn't traveling somewhere new—but learning to trust the present moment?In this solo episode of Intuitive Wisdom, K. Margaret explores a question many of us wrestle with: If we believe we are supported by intuition, spirit, and divine guidance, why does letting go of worry feel so risky?Worry often disguises itself as preparation, responsibility, or protection.

What if time wasn't something working against you, but something you could consciously co-create with? In this episode, we explore how the words we use shape our relationship with time. Instead of reinforcing pressure with phrases like “I don't have enough time,” we invite gentler, more empowering perspectives such as “all in good time” or “I will get there at the perfect time.” We also talk about the importance of self-care, setting intentional priorities, and creating space each day for what truly lights up your heart. Through curiosity, trust, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself, this conversation encourages you to move out of urgency and into a more aligned, grounded rhythm of living.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the year. In this Mini Monday episode, Tanya shares three mid-year reflections shaped by real life changes, from downsizing and decluttering to intentionally running a small but powerful real estate team.

A grounded, honest reset for anyone looking to simplify, refocus, and move forward with intention.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Shining the Grid, Moving Timelines, and Remembering You Are the Gift Lighting Up the Grid Together In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, hosts Julia Cannon, Tracie Mahan, and Tiffany welcome viewers into a lively, intuitive, and highly interactive broadcast. Julia opens by inviting listeners to “shine your light,” and the hosts describe a visual of individual beams rising from each person, expanding outward, overlapping, and strengthening the energetic grid around the planet. This becomes the spiritual foundation of the episode: each person's light matters, and when people gather with intention, their energy expands beyond themselves. Questions, Community, and Tiffany the Question Goddess The hosts explain how listeners can submit questions, especially by addressing them clearly to Tiffany so she can find them in the comment stream. The show has a playful rhythm from the start, with Julia, Tracie, and Tiffany joking about titles such as “Goddess Tiffany,” “Princess Tiffany,” and “Question Master Tiffany.” Beneath the humor, the structure is practical: the episode relies on audience participation, live questions, and intuitive responses from the hosts. Energy Is Moving Forward Julia and Tracie discuss the current energy, describing it as something that had felt stuck but now seems to be moving forward. Tracie connects this to her own life, sharing that an offer she made on a house was accepted after a long period of waiting. She reflects that delays are often tied to lessons, and that life may not move until a person has received the realization or growth needed to move with it. The hosts frame this as a broader message for listeners: when something finally opens, it may be because the soul has reached the readiness point. Tracie's House, Manifestation, and Letting Go of an Old Self Tracie's house story becomes a personal teaching about manifestation, timing, and self-worth. She explains that she had to put in the offer and “go for it,” rather than holding back. She also sees the move as symbolic of releasing an old version of herself: the version that always lets other people go first. The new house is smaller, so the move will also require physical letting go. Julia and Tiffany help frame the experience as a manifestation process, encouraging ease, trust, and the belief that everything can come together smoothly. Words, Memory, and the Tools That Change How We Think The hosts briefly joke about spelling, autocorrect, old phone numbers, and the way modern tools can change memory habits. They compare the past, when people memorized many phone numbers, to the present, when devices remember for us. The conversation is humorous, but it also reflects one of the episode's underlying themes: technology may assist us, but it can also change how we use our own minds. The hosts keep the tone light, even singing part of the old “867-5309” number from the Tommy Tutone song. Many Truths, One Love A major philosophical theme emerges when the hosts discuss truth. Julia says people have often fought wars and religious battles because they believed there was only one truth. Now, she says, people are waking up to the idea that each person has their own truth, timeline, perception, and experience. Tracie adds that multiple people can be right at the same time. The one unifying truth they suggest may be love, because love is the fabric connecting everything. This becomes one of the episode's clearest spiritual teachings: personal truth can differ, but love can hold it all together. A Spider, a Web, and Creating Reality During the broadcast, a spider crawls across Julia's monitor, and the hosts immediately interpret it symbolically. They connect the spider to weaving webs and creating reality. The timing is treated as meaningful because it appears just as they are talking about personal truth and manifestation. The spider becomes a small living metaphor for the way each person creates their own web of experience through thoughts, choices, beliefs, and perception. Disclosure Day, Hidden Symbols, and Awakening A listener asks about the film Disclosure Day. Julia has not seen it yet and does not want spoilers, so Tracie and Tiffany discuss it carefully. Tracie says she received a message from the Arcturians that the movie contains hidden symbols, subliminal messages, and activation points designed to support awakening and prepare people for deeper disclosure. Tiffany shares that after seeing the film, she slept heavily the next day, which the hosts interpret as a possible sign of processing the energies or activations embedded in the movie. The Dream of the Christmas Party and Receiving Your Gifts A listener describes a dream about being angry at a Christmas party because she was not kept in the loop and had nothing to give in the gift exchange. Julia and Tracie interpret the dream from several angles. At first, it appears to involve control, missing out, or feeling unprepared. Then the interpretation deepens: the dream may be about spiritual gifts. Everyone else has gifts to exchange, while the dreamer feels she has none, even though someone is trying to hand her an envelope. The hosts encourage her to stop resisting and recognize that she herself is the gift. Deja Vu, Timelines, and Soul Rehearsals Another listener asks about having more déjà vu than usual. Julia explains that déjà vu may happen because the soul rehearses upcoming events in the dream state, testing different timelines and choosing the one that best supports the desired outcome. Tracie adds that déjà vu can mean the person is “in the groove” and moving into a timeline they have already prepared for. Rather than treating déjà vu as random, the hosts frame it as evidence of soul planning, timeline movement, and readiness. Free Will, Agreements, and the Power of Words A listener asks whether free will can change soul contracts and why people would be “slaves” to contracts. Julia immediately reframes the language, saying she prefers agreements rather than contracts, because “slave” and “contract” carry heavy energy. She explains that souls make agreements before incarnating to help each other accomplish certain lessons or experiences, but free will still operates through how a person reacts, thinks, speaks, and chooses. The hosts emphasize that words are powerful, and that people create their personal realities through the energy of their language, beliefs, and reactions. Not My World: Choosing What Reality to Feed Julia and Tracie discuss the importance of not absorbing every fearful narrative from the outside world. Tracie tells a story about someone who felt terrified after political events, even though nothing unsafe was actually happening in her own neighborhood. The hosts explain that people often create fear by focusing on realities that are not directly theirs. Julia's repeated phrase “not my world” becomes a spiritual practice: choosing not to feed fear-based realities that do not belong to one's own lived experience. Pets, Illness, and What They Reflect A listener asks whether “Soul Speak” can be used with pets, especially elderly or ill animals. Julia explains that pets can reflect what is going on in the home or in their human companions. Rather than simply trying to fix the pet, she says people should ask what the animal's illness may be showing them. Tiffany shares that her cat has diabetes, and Julia interprets diabetes as connected to joy, sweetness, balance, and the need to remember fun and life beyond drudgery. When the human begins shifting, the pet may also respond. Summer Solstice, Subtle Signs, and Contact Preparation Near the end, the hosts respond to a question about the summer solstice. Tracie senses a shift, describing it as a kind of yin-yang movement. Julia says subtle things may happen in the background that later become much bigger, so listeners should pay attention. She encourages people to focus on joy, rest, saying no when needed, walking, and doing things that make them happy. The conversation also connects to future contact, with the hosts encouraging listeners to notice subtle dreams, sky experiences, ship visits, and moments that may prepare the mind to perceive more. Closing With Joy, Contact, and Expansion The episode ends abruptly as the hosts are being kicked off the stream, but not before Julia emphasizes that the mind is like a filter: it only lets people see what they are ready to see. As listeners expand, the filter expands, allowing them to notice more of what has always been present. The closing message is one of trust, joy, subtle awareness, and readiness for more: more contact, more movement, more truth, and “much, much more.”
Do you ever feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's needs while your own go unseen? If you're a mom navigating parenting teens or the empty nest, resentment can become part of daily life...showing up as frustration, exhaustion, disconnection, and the feeling that no matter how much you do, it's never enough. In this episode, I'm exploring why resentment is so common in motherhood, what keeps it simmering beneath the surface, and why it can have such a powerful impact on your relationships, confidence, and emotional well-being. Letting go of resentment isn't about caring less. It's about creating more peace, freedom, and connection for yourself and the people you love.
We challenge the idea that you need to learn more to create a better life, and we argue that the real work is letting go of who you used to be. We share a clear framework for identity change, plus practical examples of how old roles like people-pleasing and survival mode quietly block growth. • why many people do not have a manifestation problem but a letting go problem • the “new chapter requires a funeral” idea and how to honor the old self without clinging to it • a truck purchase story that shows how pressure can force an identity upgrade • why manifestation and personal growth often work through subtraction, not addition • the “old car vs new car” metaphor for choosing your identity moment to moment • common identities to release, including people pleaser, rescuer, perfectionist, victim, overachiever, grinder • the four-stage framework: awareness, death, void, rebirth • why the void feels uncomfortable and why it is still part of alignment Get yourself signed up.

On today's episode of The Last Days Podcast we hear from Pastor Todd about how focusing on the past will prevent you from fulfilling God's call for your life. The enemy will always remind you of your past and try to use it to keep you from moving forward.

A volunteer on stage. A backpack filled with rocks. Labels reading grief, loss, regret, shame, worry, disappointment, unforgiveness. And the visible, undeniable picture of what it looks like when we carry those things. The weight slowing every step, changing our posture, bending us forward under a load we were never meant to bear. Heidi Vegh draws from a moment at a grief retreat that stopped the room, and invites us to ask an honest question: what are we choosing to put in our backpack each morning? Because that is the truth Isaiah 43:18-19 points us toward. God is doing a new thing — but we have to give Him space to do it. Joseph chose to release the weight of betrayal, slavery, and suffering, declaring that what others intended for harm, God had intended for good. That same God of restoration is available to us today. When we lay down the rocks at the foot of the cross, the grief, the shame, and the regret, we don't walk away empty. We walk away lighter, freer, and ready to be filled with His peace, love, and purpose. Our pain is not wasted. But we do have to let it go. Bible Verse "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"— Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV Ponder Today What we carry is a daily choice. Every morning we decide what goes into our backpack. Shame, regret, grief, and unforgiveness don't stay there on their own — we put them back in, often without realizing it. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. When we choose to dwell on past mistakes and carry shame, we are picking up a rock that the cross already broke. You have been forgiven. You do not have to carry what Christ has already taken (Romans 8:1). God can use everything you have walked through for good — but you have to give Him space. Joseph's story is proof that even the deepest betrayal and suffering can be redeemed. Surrender is what opens the door to that redemption in your own life. Laying down your rocks is a process, not a single moment. Heidi's prayer acknowledges this honestly — letting go requires endurance and trust, not just a one-time decision. Give yourself grace for the ongoing nature of surrender. A lighter backpack doesn't mean an empty life — it means room for peace, love, and purpose. When you stop filling your days with what hurts, God fills that space with something far better. You were made to walk with a lighter step and a more purposeful posture. A Prayer for You Today Lord, my backpack is heavy, sometimes too heavy to bear. I long to walk in freedom from my past, from difficult circumstances, and from the weight I carry every day. Remind me to leave these rocks at the foot of the cross instead of placing them back in each morning. I choose to believe You are a God of restoration and peace, that You can take the ugly and regretful parts of my story and make them into something beautiful. I open my heart to You, inviting You into the deepest places that hold bitterness, resentment, regret, and grief, and I ask that You replace them with Your peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Give me the endurance and trust to fully surrender, and to walk in the freedom that only You can give. In Your precious name, Amen.

In this spirited episode, the challenges and paradoxes of modern leadership are brought to the forefront, grounded in the world of philanthropy. My guest this week, Glen Galaich, author of the provocative book Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short and CEO of the Stupski Foundation, invites listeners to reconsider the myths surrounding control, generosity, and decision-making. He makes the compelling case about how organizational norms, incentives, and personal ego can unintentionally limit positive impact, even in the most purpose-driven organizations.During out discussion, we reflect on tough questions: What's the real difference between intentions and measurable outcomes? How do process, relationships, and results shape lasting change? Through first-hand stories and data, this episode reveals how well-meaning leaders too often mistake intention for impact and how letting go of control, building clear processes, and inviting feedback can dramatically enhance outcomes.For executives, nonprofit leaders, and anyone invested in meaningful change, this episode offers actionable advice: embrace self-awareness, question inherited processes, and trust the people closest to the work. It's a call to action for listeners to examine their own patterns and to move beyond good intentions to do good by leading well.What You'll Learn- The importance of letting go of control for greater impact.- Rethinking thoughtful giving.- Process, results, relationships: The leadership triad.- The temptation of control when doing good.- The power of systems, incentives, and leadership norms.- Lead with empathy across difference.- The critical role of self-awareness: Feedback as a gift.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Show and Guest Introduction(00:03:13) - The Motivation Behind "Control"(00:10:00) - Control, Psychological Safety, and Power in Leadership(00:14:29) - Process, Results, Relationships: The Leadership Triad(00:17:38) - Misconceptions and Accountability in Leadership(00:22:04) - The Temptation of Control When Doing Good(00:30:02) - Leading with Empathy Across Differences(00:34:14) - Systems, Incentives, and Leadership Norms(00:38:16) - The Critical Role of Self-Awareness(00:42:59) - Leading Through Uncertainty(00:47:33) - Key Mindset Shifts: Moving from Intention to ImpactKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Philanthropy, Thoughtful Giving, Community Engagement, Control Mindset, Process in Organizations, Psychological Safety, Accountability, Feedback, Ego in Leadership, Power Dynamics, Self Awareness, Organizational Culture, Social Impact, Norms and Incentives, Empathy, Letting Go, Impact versus Intention, CEO Success

Are you living by your body's wisdom or by your data? In today's wellness culture, we're encouraged to track, measure, monitor, and optimize almost every aspect of our lives. Sleep scores, step counts, fasting windows, heart rate variability, recovery metrics, calorie burn, protein intake, the list seems endless. While technology can offer valuable insights, many people are finding themselves increasingly disconnected from the very thing that matters most, their relationship with their own body. In this episode, Colette explores the growing culture of self-optimization through the lens of Ayurveda and nervous system health. Drawing on her own experience as a former triathlete whose pursuit of performance ultimately led to burnout, she shares how Ayurveda helped her move from rigid self-monitoring to embodied self-awareness. This conversation is not about rejecting technology. It's about remembering that health is not a collection of numbers. Ayurveda teaches us that true wellbeing is dynamic, individual, seasonal, and deeply connected to our ability to listen to our body's changing needs. Colette explores how constant tracking can sometimes shift from awareness into hypervigilance, why optimization culture particularly impacts Vata and Pitta types, and how external metrics can unintentionally override intuition, self-trust, and nervous system regulation. In this episode, you'll learn: How optimization culture can disconnect us from our body's innate wisdom The difference between self-awareness and self-surveillance Why wearables and health metrics don't tell the full story How Vata and Pitta tendencies can become amplified through chronic self-monitoring Why Ayurveda views health as contextual, seasonal, and individualized The connection between nervous system safety and healing How to rebuild trust in your body's internal feedback systems Why balance is responsive rather than rigid The importance of pleasure, flexibility, and humanity in long-term wellbeing Gentle ways to reconnect with your intuition and embodied awareness This episode is an invitation to step away from the pressure to constantly improve yourself and instead cultivate a deeper relationship with your body. Because some of the most important aspects of health, joy, connection, peace, ease, and presence, can never be fully measured, but they can be deeply felt.

You've been told that if you just love him hard enough, he'll change. I need you to hear what my guest says about that.Y'all, this one is different. I sat down in studio in NYC with Zac Clark, founder and CEO of Release Recovery, host of The Zac Clark Show, and a man who's 14+ years sober after losing nearly everything to addiction. But here's why I brought this conversation to you: so many of us have poured ourselves into someone we were trying to save. We've abandoned ourselves believing that if we could just get them to show up differently, then we'd finally be enough. Zac says the quiet part out loud, you're not that powerful. And somehow, that truth is the most freeing thing in the world.Inside the Episode:The real difference between loving someone and enabling them How to decide what you're actually willing to tolerate (and why leaving doesn't make you a bad person)Why detaching from the outcome and doing your own work is the only thing that's ever in your controlThis is an episode about addiction, but really, it's about self-worth, boundaries, and refusing to disappear inside someone else's chaos.

What if your words carry more power than you realize?In Part 2 of this powerful message from the CIM Conference, Bill Vanderbush explores a fascinating theme that runs throughout Scripture: the "sound of your blood." Beginning with Abel's blood crying out from the ground and culminating with Jesus' blood speaking a better word, Bill unpacks how creation responds to the words, beliefs, and declarations of those made in the image of God.This conversation challenges us to rethink the power of our speech, the responsibility of stewarding our words, and the impact our perspective has on the world around us. Along the way, Bill explores Romans 8, the glory of God, our identity as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, and the radical revelation that God is not distant but intimately present as Father.You'll hear inspiring stories, thought-provoking insights, and a fresh invitation to embrace the goodness of God, walk in your true identity, and release life rather than judgment into the world around you.00:00 - Introduction & Bill Vanderbush Conference Series02:20 - The Voice of Abel's Blood03:06 - Adam's Authority Still Exists Today04:06 - What Is the Sound of Your Blood?06:18 - Romans 8 and Creation's Response08:23 - Why Human Beings Are So Powerful10:07 - The Atmosphere We Create With Our Words11:30 - Creation Awaits the Glory of God's Children12:20 - The Glory of God Is His Goodness on Display13:26 - Challenging Religious Views of God's Goodness14:06 - You Are the Temple of the Holy Spirit15:10 - Letting Go of Separation and Depravity16:09 - If Paul Visited the Modern Church17:36 - Jesus' Blood Speaks a Better Word18:35 - Abel, Judgment, and the Earth's Response22:34 - Learning to Speak What Heaven Is Saying23:20 - Testimonies of Blessing the Land26:32 - Deleting Negativity and Seeing Change28:08 - A Child Raised From Death30:06 - Jesus' Better Word: “Father, Forgive Them”32:20 - The Greatest Revelation: God as Father35:28 - The Gospel Is About a Person, Not a Place35:43 - A Good Father Wants His Children Home37:01 - Religion's Lie About the Father38:19 - Remembering What We've Forgotten39:18 - The New Commandment: Love Like Jesus39:57 - Closing Prayer & Final Thoughts
Summer brings more than sunshine and vacations—it brings change. Whether your child is heading to camp, navigating more freedom with friends, learning new responsibilities, or preparing for college, summer often reminds us of a truth that's easy to avoid during the busy school year: our children are growing up. In this special summer conversation, Hunter Clarke-Fields and Chris Willard explore how mindfulness can help parents navigate transitions with greater ease, courage, and trust. They discuss why letting go can feel so difficult, how overprotection can unintentionally undermine children's confidence, and what research says about raising capable, resilient kids. Together, they dive into the parenting paradox: our job is to build strong attachment, but our goal is eventual independence. In this episode you'll learn: Why transitions feel difficult for both children and parents How mindfulness helps us navigate uncertainty and change The surprising science behind autonomy, competence, and connection How to support independence without sacrificing safety Why boredom is often the gateway to creativity and resilience Practical ways kids can become contributors at home How to handle homesickness, separation, and mixed emotions Why summer is the perfect season to practice flexibility The difference between healthy guidance and controlling behavior How simple family rhythms can create calm during less structured months Plus, Hunter and Chris discuss summer routines, family vacations, camp jitters, teenage freedom, and the often-unspoken grief parents experience as children grow more independent. Because raising confident kids isn't about holding on tighter—it's about learning when and how to let go.

Episode 4050: Anthony Ongaro reflects on selling a beloved home and discovers that what we often grieve is not the object itself, but the feeling of having access to the life and memories connected to it. His perspective on letting go offers a powerful way to embrace change, make room for growth, and appreciate that our most meaningful experiences stay with us long after possessions are gone. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/let-go/ Quotes to ponder: "Instead of viewing things as a fortress we build upon throughout our lives, we can see them as vines we swing from as we make our way through." "When you let go, it not only allows you to move forward but often offers more." "If we never let go of anything, our efforts are rendered useless by multiple anchor points."
