Send us Fan MailThere may be a need right in front of you that you have not noticed yet.A child who needs to be seen.A family carrying more than anyone realizes.A moment that feels small, but could become something much bigger if you choose to act on it.In this episode of Alison Answers, Alison sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about the moment that changed the direction of his life.Luke had reached success. He had built a good life. But something still felt missing. Then one child's story opened his eyes to a hidden need in his own community and what began as one simple act of service became a movement that has impacted hundreds of thousands of children and families.This conversation is about so much more than beds.It is about purpose.It is about identity.It is about the children and families we may not see until we are willing to look closer.And it is about how serving someone else can sometimes bring us back to the part of ourselves that has felt lost.You'll hear:* How one child's need became the beginning of a global mission* Why success does not always create fulfillment* How service can shift your perspective when you feel stuck or disconnected* Why children cannot carry adult-sized problems alone* How small moments of compassion can become life-changing* What happens when your purpose grows bigger than you* How founders, parents, helpers, and leaders can struggle when their identity begins to shift* Why helping others can awaken healing, meaning, and purpose in your own lifeIf you have ever felt like you should be happy, but still feel like something is missing, this conversation is a reminder that purpose is not always found by searching harder.Sometimes, purpose begins when you notice someone else's need and decide, “Not on my watch.”Watch the full episode of Alison Answers now.In this episode:00:00 Success does not always mean fulfillment02:21 Luke Mickelson and the mission of Sleep in Heavenly Peace05:41 How Luke's story began13:57 The moment he heard children were sleeping without beds16:05 Why service changes your perspective23:43 Meeting Haley, the child who changed everything27:17 Why this became more than just a bed31:24 How the mission began to grow37:39 From local project to hundreds of chapters38:08 Reaching hundreds of thousands of children39:46 Founder syndrome and losing your identity in the mission49:33 Why being needed is not the same as being valued52:47 Redefining your role when your purpose evolves01:17:28 What to say to someone who feels hopeless01:19:19 Why service can lead to true happiness01:20:15 The power of tiny moments01:25:56 How to get involved01:29:25 Why your life and your actions matterConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison's book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE⚠️ Crisis Resources:Lager Counseling ServicesCall: 516-221-2123Text: (914) 363-0381Wantagh: 3408 Park Ave. Wantagh, NY 11793988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7, free, confidential)Call or text 988 | Visit 988lifeline.org

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this solo episode, I'm diving deeper into the cortisol bank account framework and introducing the Cortisol Debt Assessment, a quiz I created to help you understand how much energy your body is spending versus how much it is earning.We often know our financial credit score, how much money is coming in, and how much is going out, but most of us do not have that same awareness when it comes to our cortisol, energy, and stress load. This episode breaks down how external stressors, like work, relationships, parenting, and responsibilities, combine with internal stressors, like nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, blood sugar dips, hormone imbalances, or stealth infections, to impact your body's ability to function and heal.In this episode, I discuss:• What the Cortisol Debt Assessment is and why I created it• How your cortisol bank account works• Why cortisol is the hormone that helps you handle stress, wake up, reduce inflammation, and get things done• The difference between external stressors and internal stressors• Why stress is not always bad, but it is always an energy spend• How good things, like a dream job, a wedding, kids, or work you love, can still drain your energy• What your external life load score can tell you about boundaries, sleep, and energy protection• What your internal hidden load score can reveal about what may be happening inside your body• Why a high internal score may be a sign to talk with a trusted provider and get lab work done• The four cortisol debt profiles: balanced, overspending, moderate cortisol debt, and deeply depleted• Why pushing harder with exercise, dieting, or doing more can backfire when your cortisol account is low• How resting heart rate can help you understand whether your workouts are supporting or draining you• Why support, boundaries, sleep, protein, hydration, and nervous system regulation are essential for rebuilding your energy• How to use the assessment as a check-in tool throughout different seasons of lifeIf you've been feeling tired, wired, depleted, inflamed, or like your body is trying to get your attention, this episode will help you look at stress in a more practical way. Your score is not a diagnosis and it is not a grade. It is information that can help you better understand where your energy is going, where your body may need support, and what changes can help you start rebuilding your cortisol bank account.Connect with me:Visit https://www.drerinkinney.com/the-cortisol-cure to take the Cortisol Debt Assessment, preorder The Cortisol Cure, and learn more about the Cortisol Cure Community.

Does Isaiah 53 promise physical healing for every believer? What do we do when God doesn't heal the people we love?In this deeply personal episode of The Father's Business Podcast, Kimberly shares her own journey through losing her father to cancer while wrestling with some of Christianity's hardest questions:If God is good... why doesn't He always heal? Have you ever prayed with everything you had... and still watched the outcome unfold differently than you hoped?Together we explore:• What "By His Stripes We Are Healed" actually means• Isaiah 53 in its biblical context• How Matthew and Peter interpret Isaiah's prophecy• Three major Christian views on healing• Why we should continue praying for healing• How to trust God's goodness when prayers seem unanswered• Finding hope in the resurrection—not just this lifeIf you've ever prayed for healing and wondered why the answer wasn't what you hoped, this conversation is for you.My prayer is that this episode doesn't simply answer questions about healing.I pray it helps you trust God's heart more deeply.#Prayer #Healing #Faith #Isaiah53 #ChristianPodcast #TheFathersBusiness #UnfilteredPrayer

In this episode, I share the bigger vision behind Your Level Fitness and why I believe it's time to change the conversation around health, fitness, and body image.The message is simple: Love the body you have.Everything else grows from there.I talk about why the fitness industry has spent decades convincing us we're never enough, and how I want Your Level Fitness to become part of a different movement, one that encourages appreciation instead of criticism and confidence instead of shame.I also pull back the curtain on the Your Level Fitness shop and explain why every design, every product, and every quality decision reflects that mission. When you wear one of these designs, you're not simply wearing a shirt or hoodie. You're helping spread a message that encourages people to appreciate who and what they see in the mirror.Along the way, I share my thoughts on coaching, why information should be freely available, the difference between information and context, and why my focus is helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves that lasts long after the weight loss journey.In this episode:Why "Love the Body You Have" is bigger than a taglineHow the fitness industry profits from insecurityWhy appreciation creates a stronger foundation than self-criticismThe difference between free information and personalized contextHow Your Level Fitness products support a larger missionWhy quality matters just as much as the messageBuilding a movement that helps people appreciate themselves for lifeIf you've ever felt like fitness left you chasing a finish line that never seemed to bring lasting confidence, I hope this episode offers a different perspective. My goal isn't just to help you improve your health. It's to help you build a relationship with yourself that you actually want to carry through the rest of your life.Continue the conversation:Sign up for the Your Level Fitness live streams and join me live at:https://yourlevelfitness.com/stream

In this episode, we're talking about something that might feel a little uncomfortable for advisors who love spreadsheets, checklists, and action plans—but it may be one of the most important conversations you'll have all year. Libby sits down with author, speaker, and former financial advisor Ellen Rogin to explore what abundance really looks like inside an advisory practice. From the way you think about money to the energy you bring into client meetings, Ellen shares how shifting from scarcity to service transformed her career and helped her build a thriving practice rooted in generosity, gratitude, and genuine connection.In this episode you'll learn: Why abundance isn't just a mindset buzzword—and how it directly impacts referrals, growth, client trust, and business successHow to identify scarcity thinking in your practice (even when you don't realize it's there) and replace it with more empowering beliefsThe role your own money story plays in how you advise clients, lead your team, and make decisions as a business ownerSimple daily habits that can help you create more space, clarity, generosity, and abundance in both your business and personal lifeIf you've ever found yourself chasing the next strategy, comparing yourself to other advisors, or feeling like success is always just out of reach, this episode is your invitation to pause and look inward. Because sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't another tactic—it's learning how to operate from a place of abundance instead of scarcity.

Free training:  simplyconvivial.com/organized - The problem isn't that you're inconsistent — it's that your definition of consistency is wrong.We've been taught to think of consistency like a machine: evenly-spaced, identical results every single day. But you're not a machine — you're a human being who fluctuates, cares for unpredictable people, and lives in real, messy circumstances. Trying to force machine-like sameness into your homemaking is actually what's preventing real consistency.In this episode, I walk through a better model: consistency like a tree, not a machine. Rooted and steadfast in your mission, but flexible enough to sway with the wind — adapting, adjusting, and giving each person what they need while still coming back to the things that matter most.You'll learn:

Blessed Are the Peacemakers | The Beatitudes Series | Journey ChurchWhat does it really mean to be a peacemaker?In this episode, we continue our Beatitudes series by exploring one of Jesus' most challenging teachings: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." While our culture often defines peace as simply avoiding conflict, Jesus points us toward something much deeper—shalom: wholeness, reconciliation, healing, and restoration.You'll discover why biblical peacemaking isn't about keeping everyone comfortable, but about courageously pursuing truth, mercy, and reconciliation. Whether you're navigating conflict in your family, workplace, church, or friendships, this practical message will help you become the kind of person who reflects the heart of Christ.In this episode you'll learn:The difference between peacekeeping and peacemakingWhy avoiding conflict isn't the same as biblical peaceThe meaning of shalom in ScriptureHow Jesus modeled truth and grace togetherFive practical ways to become a peacemaker in everyday lifeIf this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a little more peace today.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to the Beatitude of the Peacemaker02:00 – What Jesus meant by "Blessed are the peacemakers"04:30 – Why our culture misunderstands peace09:00 – The danger of labels, outrage, and division15:00 – The Christmas Truce of World War I19:00 – The biblical meaning of Shalom25:00 – Peace, justice, and truth30:30 – Peacekeepers vs. peacemakers35:15 – "As far as it depends on you…" (Romans 12)39:45 – Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus: A picture of reconciliation46:00 – Jesus is our peace50:00 – Three habits peacemakers refuse to carry54:15 – Five practical steps to becoming a peacemaker01:04:00 – The promise for peacemakers and closing prayer

How do you trust God when everything in your life seems to be changing?This episode is a little different than my usual teaching episodes. Instead of continuing a series, I wanted to invite you into my own quiet time and share what the Lord has been teaching me in real time.As I was journaling through a season of transition and reading 2 Corinthians 8:1–15, one phrase kept coming back to me: “They gave themselves first to the Lord.” While Paul is writing about generosity, I realized God was using this passage to challenge the way I was holding onto familiar seasons, relationships, and expectations.If you've ever found yourself grieving a season you loved, wondering what's next, or learning to trust God in the unknown, I hope this conversation encourages you to loosen your grip and place yourself—and your future—back into God's hands.In This EpisodeWhy unexpected grief often accompanies healthy life transitionsWhat 2 Corinthians 8 taught me beyond financial generosityThe difference between holding on and trusting GodWhy familiar seasons can be difficult to releaseHow God often prepares us for what's next before He reveals what's nextOne question I've been asking myself during this seasonKey TakeawaysGrace changes more than what we give—it changes how we hold our lives.Surrender often comes before clarity.It's possible to grieve a season while still trusting God with the future.God often prepares our hearts before He changes our circumstances.Every season is an invitation to give ourselves to the Lord again.Series NoteThis is a special bonus episode outside of our regular monthly series—a personal reflection on what God has been teaching me during my own time in Scripture.KeywordsChristian podcastTrusting God in transitionChristian encouragement2 Corinthians 8Letting go and trusting GodSeasons of lifeIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this episode of Trauma Interrupted, Jan Broberg sits down with Dr. Kate Lund, licensed clinical psychologist, resilience expert, author of Bounce and her new release Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting, for a conversation about what it actually takes to build resilience, in ourselves and in the kids we're raising.  Dr. Kate traces her path into psychology back to a childhood diagnosis of hydrocephalus and decades of managing a chronic medical condition, and the two explore how early struggle can shape a life's calling. They talk candidly about how trauma doesn't always surface right away, sometimes it takes decades, and why healing as an adult is one of the most powerful things a parent can model for their children. The conversation moves through practical, usable tools: a simple breathing technique called the relaxation response, the power of daily gratitude journaling, a self-compassion exercise that sparked real breakthroughs in Jan's own survivor community, and honest talk about comparison culture, social media, and letting go of perfectionism. Above all, this episode keeps circling back to one idea: there is always possibility on the other side of a challenge.

You can have the best product in the world — and still never reach the people who need it. The missing piece? Your money beliefs.This is Part 2 of Your Money Mirror. I'm walking through the final three keys to breaking the financial patterns keeping you stuck — and the biblical model that reframes what large sums of money are actually for.In Matthew 28, the chief priests didn't scramble to pay the guards. They had large sums ready — immediately. That's not hoarding. That's kingdom-level positioning. When you understand that wealth is an amplifier of the truth you've been assigned to carry, your entire wealth mindset shifts.In this episode you'll learn:✔ Why your finances are directly tied to the transformation of everyone around you — and why you need both a growth plan AND a delivery plan✔ Why your finances are a mirror of who you're becoming, and why what you SPEAK matters more than what you do✔ Why you only need to confront ONE belief about money to permanently anchor your financial lifeIf you've been stuck at the same income level year after year, this episode was built for you. Your breakthrough might be one belief away.

What happens when everything you've built disappears overnight?Dr. David Hausmann spent years building a successful business, providing for his family, and chasing what he believed success was supposed to look like. Then one ordinary day changed everything. After a devastating accident, David lost his leg, watched his identity unravel, and was forced to confront a question that so many people silently wrestle with:Who am I when everything I built is gone?In this conversation, we explore suffering, identity, purpose, ego, resilience, faith, awareness, and what it truly means to become integrated.This isn't just a story about surviving trauma. It's about rebuilding yourself from the inside out.If you've ever felt lost, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to move forward after life knocks you down, this conversation is for you.In This Episode• The accident that changed everything• Losing far more than a leg• Identity beyond success• The emotional moment with his daughter on the stairs• Why suffering can become your greatest teacher• Awareness as the currency of transformation• Integrating the parts of yourself you've tried to hide• Rebuilding a meaningful lifeIf this episode impacted you, please consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who needs it, and leaving a comment with your biggest takeaway.Follow The Relentless Pursuit Podcast for weekly conversations that challenge, inspire, and equip people to pursue purpose through adversity.00:00 Stairs and resilience01:24 Podcast welcome and guest intro02:18 Spider bite detour03:09 Life today and the leg loss05:25 Flesh eating bacteria ordeal07:06 Perspective after near death08:08 Presence and gratitude mindset15:15 Protecting authenticity20:20 Faith, free will, and dogma22:49 Childhood roots and success drive30:35 Masks, ego, and boundaries38:54 Rebelling and building the clinic42:45 Ego Behind Service43:57 Chiropractic Origin Story46:23 Validation and Identity Trap47:54 Tethered by Success50:14 Losing It All52:44 Authenticity and Presence59:48 Day the Infection Hit01:04:02 Waking Up to Reality01:06:56 Choosing Amputation01:10:49 Regret and Time Illusion01:13:13 Meaning After Trauma01:19:33 DMT and Shadow Integration01:26:24 Integrated Man Framework01:29:46 You Don't Have More Time01:31:29 Heaven and Tolkien01:32:11 Hope Versus Tomorrow01:34:49 Did You See It01:40:10 Suffering And Balance01:45:18 Awareness As Currency01:48:15 Limits And Leverage01:51:44 AmpuHealth Mission01:58:11 Stairs And Presence02:03:54 Lessons For The Kids02:06:56 Identity Collapse02:12:44 Relentless Pursuit02:14:28 Where To Find Him02:16:27 Final Reflection#RelentlessPursuit #DavidHausmann #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #Resilience#Purpose #Identity #MentalHealth #SelfDevelopment #Transformation #Podcast#Inspiration #Leadership #OvercomingAdversity #GrowthMindset

What if your horse is responding less to what you say and more to who you are being?In this thoughtful conversation, I sit down with Julia Carpenter, founder of The Two Step Way, to explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to truly see the being in front of us.Julia shares how horses reflect our nervous systems, why presence matters more than performance, and how healing often begins not with fixing, but with noticing. We talk about somatic healing, trauma stored in the body, the relationship between science and spirituality, and the quiet intelligence animals offer when we create enough space to listen.This conversation moved far beyond horsemanship. It became an invitation to reconnect with ourselves, soften our need to control, and remember that wonder still belongs in our lives.We also explore: What “See the Being™” really meansHow horses read our nervous systemsTrauma, freeze states, and healing through safetyWhy slowing down can transform connectionThe overlap between science, intuition, and somatic awarenessHow technology may be disconnecting us from presenceJulia's powerful story of Magneto and the horse who changed her lifeIf you've ever felt like your horse was trying to tell you something… or like life itself keeps offering lessons you're meant to notice… this episode is for you.Connect with Julia:Website: https://twostepway.com/Website: https://www.consideringanimals.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/julia.carpenter.12If this episode speaks to you, share it with a friend and tell us: Who has been your wise horse?Adventure on!Send us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

Everybody thinks 10X takes 10 times the work. It doesn't. 2X is the grind. You just do more reps, more hours, more volume until it works. But you can't out-hour your way to 10X. There aren't enough hours in the week. 10X isn't a math problem you solve with effort. It's a different game entirely, and almost nobody plays it right.In this episode I break down why 10X is actually easier than 2X, and why the reps and leaders who get it stop adding and start cutting.What we cover:    •    Why 2X is linear and 10X is exponential (and why that changes everything)    •    The 80/20 rule most people quote but nobody actually applies    •    Why 10X is a subtraction game disguised as a growth game    •    The 3 things every 10X move comes down to: identity, time, and leadership    •    How to spot the 20% of activities driving your results, and kill the rest    •    The team application: stop spreading your time evenly across reps    •    The individual application: what to delegate and what to guard with your lifeIf you run a sales team or you're trying to break your own ceiling, this one will change how you spend every hour of your week.Drop a comment with the one thing you're cutting this week.New episodes of the Rainmaker Podcast every week.

Send us Fan MailThe Lucid Dream Where I Woke Up Homeless… But It Didn't MatterIn this powerful episode, I share one of the most transformative lucid dreams from my awakening journey — the one I wrote about in my book Waking Up from the Dream.I found myself sitting on the floor of a busy mall over a train station, covered with a sleeping bag, while the world rushed past in panic.

This dream taught me how to find deep stillness and aliveness even in the middle of chaos.Join me as I unpack:•  Why lucid dreams are such powerful catalysts for spiritual awakening•  How our nervous system limits what we can embody in waking life•  The contrast between the rushing crowd and inner peace•  Simple ways you can bring this awake presence into your daily lifeIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pace of modern life, this episode will remind you that true richness has nothing to do with circumstances.✨ What's the most powerful dream you've ever had?

What actually makes a life meaningful?In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann Watkin sits down with psychiatrist and author Anna Yusim to explore the difference between happiness and fulfillment — and why so many people still feel empty even after achieving success.Together, they unpack the hidden cost of achievement culture, the role of authenticity in mental health, and why intuition may be one of the most overlooked guides to a meaningful life.Dr. Yusim also shares her biopsychosocial-spiritual framework for wellbeing, explaining how our biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health all shape our sense of purpose and fulfillment. This conversation explores:• The difference between happiness and fulfillment• Why achievement alone doesn't create meaning• The “still quiet voice” of intuition• Authenticity and the masks we wear• Gratitude vs entitlement• Dark nights of the soul and personal transformation• How to feel more aligned with yourself and your lifeIf you've ever found yourself wondering, “Why doesn't this life I worked so hard for feel the way I thought it would?” — this episode is for you.

"I always think, 'Jesus, this person could be reading War and Peace, and they picked up this dopey little book.' You know what I mean? So the best thing I could do is be interesting or helpful. I can't be boring, and I've got to try to be helpful," says Austin Kleon, author of Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again.What a pleasure to welcome back Austin Kleon to the show to chat up his new book, his first in seven years, Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again. It's published by Tarcher. Like Austin's previous books in Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, and Keep Going, this pink wonder is the size of those old double-album CD cases you'd get in the 90s and it's packed with insights and inspiration Austin learned from his two young boys about being an artist and how to be a creative person in times where creativity is needed more than ever. Fun stuff.So Austin is a funny, irreverent, sometimes cranky, but almost always inspiring based on his posture in the creative world. The stuff he curates and his generosity in sharing it is a big reason his Substack audience is 309,000 people strong and as of this taping, #5 in art & illustration on the stack. You can also learn more about him at austinkleon.com where he frequently blogs, though he's turned the dial down on that a bit in favor of the paid audience of his Tuesday newsletters. I've been plugged into the Kleon-verse since about 2014 right when Show Your Work came out and he made appearances on Creative Live with Chase Jarvis, so it's been cool to see the arc of his career to date.In this episode, we talk about: Place and his Ohio roots The farmer approach The idea of uncertainty Knowing less Getting back to that thing The most punk thing Metallica did What if Austin is the apprentice now? A revelation from Fiona Apple How his paid newsletter audience helped cook the book Researching in the open Knowing what weight class he's in Being interesting and helpful Going full-on Beast Mode The coveting of creative people How jealousy shows what's broken in you And how his kids brought punk back into his lifeIf you're going to pair this episode with anything, check out: Episode 146: Austin Kleon Episodes 169 and 433 with Chase Jarvis Episode 266 with Kristen Radtke Episode 369 with Akeem S.

Are you living from your true identity or from beliefs you've absorbed from others?In this thought-provoking episode of A Little Less Fear, I sit down with Dr. Jeremy Thompson, physician, therapist, and author of Understand Your True Identity, to explore one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves: Who am I, really?Dr. Thompson challenges the growing tendency to define ourselves by our struggles, diagnoses, limitations, or negative self-talk. Instead, he encourages us to discover our authentic identity by recognizing our natural strengths, talents, passions, and the qualities that consistently bring us joy, meaning, and fulfillment.We discuss how many of our self-limiting beliefs originate from external sources—family, culture, criticism, past experiences, and societal expectations rather than from our true nature. Dr. Thompson shares practical strategies for identifying these beliefs, questioning them, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that feel most genuine and alive.You'll also learn about the Happiness Scale, a simple yet powerful tool for identifying moments of inspiration, enthusiasm, and purpose. By paying attention to the experiences that elevate us to an 8, 9, or 10 on the happiness scale, we gain valuable clues about our authentic selves and the direction our lives may be calling us toward.In This Episode:- What it means to discover your true identity- How to separate yourself from negative self-talk and limiting beliefs- Why your strengths and natural abilities reveal who you really are- The connection between happiness, purpose, and authenticity- Questions to ask yourself when self-doubt appears- How to recognize beliefs that were inherited rather than chosen- Practical ways to build momentum toward a more authentic lifeIf you've ever struggled with self-doubt, questioned your purpose, or wondered whether you're living according to your authentic self, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical tools for personal growth. #TrueIdentity #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery #MindsetShift #AuthenticSelf #MentalHealth #SelfAwareness #PositivePsychology #OvercomingSelfDoubt #PurposeDrivenLife #Motivation #PersonalDevelopment #Happiness #Mindset #ALittleLessFear This is Dr. Lino Martinez the host for A Little Less Fear Podcast.
