The Lord's Prayer may be the most familiar prayer in Christianity—and the most overlooked. In this episode of InContext, Michael Easley sits down with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson of Walking the Text to uncover the depth, power, and biblical context behind the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. Drawing from years of study in Israel, pastoral ministry, and personal experiences of grief and suffering, Brad and Nelson show how the Lord's Prayer is not just something Jesus taught—it's the prayer He lived. From Exodus imagery and the “heavens” language to forgiveness, grief, and the kingdom of God, this conversation reframes the prayer as a daily blueprint for discipleship. Whether you've prayed the Lord's Prayer for decades or rarely stop to think about its meaning, this episode invites you to hear it with fresh ears—and to rediscover how it shapes our understanding of God, ourselves, and our purpose in the world.

Cameo introduced us to the concept of "liminal space"—the threshold between what was and what is next. Whether it's a career change, a health crisis, or the "Already, but Not Yet" of the Christian life, these in-between seasons are often uncomfortable. However, Lent reminds us that the wilderness is not a place of punishment, but a "workshop of character." Through the stories of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, we see that God uses the quiet and pressure of the wilderness to establish our identity as his beloved children, calm our fears with his presence, and nourish us for the spiritual battles ahead. Rather than rushing to Easter, we are invited to sit honestly in our hunger and grief, allowing God to meet us in the gentle whisper of the wilderness.Support the show

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded a live episode, and here I am. Now, I don’t have any particular Gnostic insights for you today. However, I do have some interesting news to share and a very strange experience I had a couple of days ago. So, let’s start with the news. One of the reasons I don’t have a new episode for you this week, in particular a philosophical episode, is because I’ve been working on a stage play called A Midwife’s Trial. I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.

We talk a lot about slowing down and how it's really good for us, but we talk much less about what it means to stay.  Like really stay.... without doing it for productivity gains.  This episode explores holding space for yourself,  not as a technique, but as a way of inhabiting yourself, experiencing yourself without the need to learn from it yet (and why that's really good for your HPA axis!)Join me for this short but profound episode. ******************‘Becoming' is the new membership I've created for this phaseBecoming is a space for women in this in-between phase where old identities no longer fit, and new ones haven't fully arrived yet.The waitlist is now open.

Have you ever felt like you're floating between two versions of your life — no longer who you were, but not quite who you're becoming either? That in-between season has a name: the liminal space. And while it can feel disorienting, lonely, and unsettling… it's also where some of your deepest transformation begins. In this solo reflection, I'm sharing what I've been learning in real time as I move through a liminal season of my own — and how to stay grounded when life feels uncertain, unstructured, or emotionally unfamiliar. If you're in a chapter where nothing feels fully stable yet… I hope this episode helps you feel less alone, and more held.

In times of uncertainty, many of us feel disoriented — unsure of our roles, our medicine, or even what to call ourselves anymore. In this heartfelt, unscripted conversation, HeatherAsh sits down with longtime friend and teacher, Sarah Marshank, to explore what it means to live, lead, and practice in truly liminal times.Together, they reflect on devotion and boredom, grief and meditation, and the courage it takes to stay present in the unknown. Rather than trying to fix what's broken, they invite us into a deeper relationship with prayer, presence, and the timeless web of life that connects us all.This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that real transformation doesn't come from control or certainty — it comes from listening, slowing down, and remembering who we are beneath our strategies. If you're feeling exhausted or unsure, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate place to rest and re-orient.Episode Highlights:Why so many helping professionals are in an identity crisis right nowThe difference between fixing and listeningLiminal times as an invitation, not a problem to solveHow boredom, grief, and stillness restore inner energyDevotion as conversation, not obligationWhy practice is a long-haul path, not a quick fixLetting go of specialness and discovering true uniquenessLearning to walk in the dark together without needing answersResources & Links:Learn more about Sarah:https://selfistry.com/meet-sarah/Michael Meade's Podcast Episode: Bringing Back the LightJoanna Macy— Referenced for her teachings onThe Great Turning/ the “fourth turning,” which frame collapse and emergence as simultaneous processes within both individuals and collective systems.Meet SarahSarah Marshank is a spiritual cartographer for the modern human — a mystic with a map.Rooted in ancient wisdom and sharpened by lived experience, she weaves the sacred and the practical into a system (Selfistry) that helps humans not just wake up — but show up.

In today's episode, I share two intuitive writings with you—both in the form of poetry—and both on the topic of the in-between or liminal space of transformation. These poems speak to the discomfort that comes with shedding old, outworn ways and layers and coming to find ourselves anew and renewed. The transitory phase or liminal space can be incredibly uncomfortable. We're not quite that "new" version of us and yet we're no longer the "old" version either. During this phase of transition and rebirth, it can feel as if we've been left out in the cold. We find ourselves reaching for old ways of comforting and soothing yet more and more we're coming to realize that the old balms no longer soothe. Yet, that surrendered leap forward into the great unknown continues to terrify us. And so at this phase of change, we find ourselves lingering at the precipice... like an onion, the top layer of who we are is falling away, revealing a deeper, more whole version of our depth.

The Crystal Library: Celestite & the Art of Inhabiting Liminal Space In this intimate episode of The Crystal Library, Ashleigh shares the story of celestite, the crystal that quietly sparked her spiritual awakening.Rather than focusing on textbook meanings, this episode explores celestite as a touchstone—a stone of grounding, remembrance, and return. Ashleigh reflects on postpartum struggle, rediscovering her mystical identity, and learning that science and spirituality don't have to be opposites.Celestite becomes a guide through liminal space—the in-between—revealing that we don't always need to cross thresholds… sometimes we are meant to live within them.In this episode:Ashleigh's first encounter with celestite during a pivotal tripHow the stone became an anchor during spiritual reawakeningNavigating identity, intuition, and suppressed magicLiving between science and mysticismWhy personal crystal connections matter more than traditional meaningsReflection:What threshold are you trying to cross that you might actually be meant to live in?What becomes possible when the in-between becomes home?

Workshop "Menuju IKN Impian 2045" yang melibatkan 120 ASN Muda Kedeputian Lingkungan Hidup dan Sumber Daya Alam (LHSDA) OIKN merupakan langkah transformatif dalam membangun landasan  kepemimpinan yang tangguh. Melalui pendekatan Asset-Based Thinking pada hari pertama, para peserta diajak untuk tidak hanya memahami visi makro IKN sebagai kota dunia, tetapi juga mengenali kekuatan internal mereka sebagai Ecosystem Builder. Penemuan karakter unik seperti Adventure hingga Adaptive Servant Leader yang dipadukan dengan ekspresi kreatif Slam Poetry berhasil meruntuhkan sekat-sekat birokrasi, menciptakan keintiman tim, dan menyatukan impian pribadi peserta dengan visi besar pembangunan ibu kota yang hijau dan berkelanjutan. Memasuki fase kritis di hari kedua, dinamika pembelajaran bergeser pada ketajaman analisis risiko melalui metode Reverse Thinking atau Pre-Mortem. Peserta ditantang untuk membayangkan skenario kegagalan IKN di tahun 2045 guna mengidentifikasi "bom waktu" berupa kekhawatiran sosial-lingkungan, data yang mengganggu, serta ide-ide kebijakan yang masih kabur. Proses berpikir terbalik ini terbukti efektif dalam memicu lahirnya inovasi konkret yang responsif terhadap tantangan zaman. Keberhasilan kolaborasi peserta menghasilkan tiga inisiatif strategis—StunZero, Naik Kelas Bersama, dan Kaizen Workshop—yang secara resmi diadopsi oleh pimpinan untuk diimplementasikan pada tahun 2026 sebagai solusi nyata atas kompleksitas pembangunan di lapangan. Pada akhirnya, keberhasilan workshop ini memberikan pesan kuat bahwa kebahagiaan dan antusiasme peserta adalah energi utama dalam menghadapi ketidakpastian birokrasi yang kompleks. Meskipun terdapat tantangan dalam efisiensi tata waktu, hasil nyata berupa adopsi inovasi menunjukkan bahwa ASN Muda LHSDA memiliki kapasitas untuk menjadi penggerak perubahan yang lincah. Rekomendasi strategis untuk membudayakan autonomous learning dan peran pimpinan sebagai pelatih menjadi kunci agar semangat inovasi ini tidak berhenti di ruang workshop, melainkan menjadi nafas baru dalam keseharian kerja menuju tahun 2025 dan seterusnya, demi memastikan IKN tetap menjadi superhub ekonomi yang resilien dan inklusif.

In this New Year's Eve episode of Back on the Broomstick, the witches gather in the space between the year that has been and the year that is about to be. This is a liminal space between the old and the new. Laylla and Chelle talk about why setting intentions often feels more powerful and sustainable than making resolutions, and how choosing a single power word for the year ahead can act as a magical anchor when the road gets twisty.The witches also touch on the currently popular 13 Wishes spell (sometimes called or Rauhnächte) and how it fits into New Year and liminal space magic. Laylla offers a slightly revised version of the working, thoughtfully adapted to better suit Chelle's limited attention span and real-world witchcraft needs, proving once again that magic works best when it's practical, flexible, and personal.They also share a reflective tarot spread designed to look back at the year that's ending, helping you name what you're ready to leave behind, what still needs tending, and what lessons are coming with you into the new cycle. It's a gentle, honest way to close the year without rushing or forcing transformation before it's ready.As the clock ticks toward midnight, the witches take time to thank their listeners and benefactors for another deeply witchy year of community, curiosity, laughter, and shared magic. Light a candle, pull a card, and step with intention into the threshold of the new year.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

What if the uncertainty you're feeling isn't a problem to fix—but a threshold you're meant to cross?In this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Boyde, a Registered Master Hypnotist and creator of The Alchemy Sequence™, to explore what it really means to be in the liminal space—that disorienting, electric in-between where your old identity no longer fits, but the next version of you hasn't fully landed yet.We talk about:5 clear signs you're in the liminal spaceWhy leaving security often precedes deep alignmentHow the subconscious mind holds onto outdated identitiesThe difference between fear and intuitionWhy this phase is actually a gateway to self-mastery, not a detourHow to stop recreating old success patterns in “prettier packaging”What it looks like to build a life and work that are deeply yoursIf you've done everything “right” but feel called toward something truer…If the old metrics of success no longer motivate you…If you sense you're standing on the edge of something meaningful but can't quite name it yet…This conversation will help you understand where you are, why you're here, and how to move forward with clarity, trust, and inner authority.✨ This episode is for the woman who knows deep down that she's becoming someone new.Michelle Boyde is a Registered Master Hypnotist and Subconscious Wizard for visionaries who've left behind exceptional careers to build something on their own terms.After exiting her consulting career seven years ago, Michelle has hypnotised over 1,000 people and created The Alchemy Sequence™ — a precision process that doesn't just quiet the noise, but dissolves the outdated identity beneath it. In its place, the truest version of you emerges — the one capable of becoming everything you already sense you're here to be.Michelle's work is devoted to the Liminal Space — that disorienting, electric terrain between who you were and who you're becoming. She works with women who are done trying to recreate corporate success in prettier packaging — they're here to build what's real, sustainable, and deeply theirs. Her work fuses deep subconscious transformation with catalytic perspective shifts — revealing a new vision of what's possible, and clearing the way to build it.Access the Energy Time Calibration Matrix Now:From Ordinary to Your Full Potential. Reconfigure Your Energy, without Adding Hours, so You Can Build the Business Only You Can.https://www.michelleboyde.com/matrixSelf-Respect Reset is a guided, body-based experience for women who struggle to set boundaries—not because they don't know what they need, but because it hasn't felt safe to honor it.Inside, you'll learn how to rebuild inner safety, strengthen self-trust, and create boundaries that actually protect your peace—without guilt, over-explaining, or self-abandonment.

Today on Wine After Work, I'm sitting down with someone whose work is unlike anything you've ever heard before — and exactly what so many women need: Michelle Boyde, Registered Master Hypnotist, subconscious expert, and the creator of The Alchemy Sequence™. Michelle specializes in helping visionary women who've walked away from "successful" careers — only to realize they're still operating from outdated identities and old rules that no longer fit. Through her transformational hypnotic work, she guides women through The Liminal Space — that electric, uncomfortable, deeply powerful territory between who you were and who you're becoming. In this conversation we dig into: ✨ What really happens in the liminal space (and why so many women get stuck there) ✨ Why your subconscious identity is the real bottleneck to stepping into your next-level life or business ✨ The truth about trying to recreate corporate success in "prettier packaging." ✨ How hypnosis dissolves old identities and clears the way for the truest version of you ✨ The moment Michelle knew she could never go back to her former career ✨ The surprising ways your body and mind sabotage expansion — and how to overcome it ✨ How The Alchemy Sequence™ works (and who it's for) ✨ Why your next evolution requires more than strategy — it requires a new identity Michelle has hypnotized over 1,000 people and brings a depth, clarity, and electric honesty that I know will land for so many of you. If you've ever felt like you left the job, but the job is still inside you — this episode is your invitation to shed the version of you that no longer fits. Connect with Michelle:

In this Thanksgiving reflection, Michael invites you into the liminal space—the quiet between the notes where meaning, magic, and clarity live.Drawing on a powerful future-self meditation and a week-long vision fast on California's Lost Coast, he shares how deep listening changes the way we perceive the world—and ourselves. From native traditions of fasting for vision to the way nature sharpens our senses when we strip away noise, Michael explores how true gratitude arises when we become receptive rather than directive.You'll hear:Why gratitude is more than a practice—it's a signal-clearingHow the “space between the notes” (Debussy/Miles Davis) reveals the essence of lifeWhat a future-self meditation can teach us about legacyHow nature attunes the nervous system to clarityThe magic that arrives when we enter the world with reverence and listeningWhy real wealth is time, health, sunlight, breath, and presenceFrom Ubud's morning rain to bathing in the Lost Coast waterfalls, Michael recounts the moments where the world speaks—if we are quiet enough to listen.On this day of thanks, this episode is an invitation to:Put your feet on the earthLet your breath slowListen for what your life is asking of youAnd remember that gratitude is the root of a life well-livedSending you presence, warmth, and deep gratitude.Happy Thanksgiving.

I used to think values were something you discovered once and then lived by forever, like a moral compass that stayed fixed. But I'm starting to wonder if they're more like constellations. They shift a little as you move through different seasons of life. For a long time, I treated my values like a checklist: family, creativity, freedom. Those were the things that mattered. But when they stopped feeling aligned, I felt completely disoriented.  Connect with Abagail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠⁠ It wasn't that my morals changed. Rather, it was that my priorities matured. And while that process can feel confusing and uncomfortable, it can also make space for who you're becoming. Sometimes the same value takes a new shape. For instance, freedom might look less like flexibility and more like emotional peace. Today, I'm sharing what it felt like to go through that shift, what helped me slow down and listen, and how I began to see my values in a new light.

Liminal space is that strange and often uncomfortable place we find ourselves when the old has ended but the new has not yet begun. It can be a time marked by confusion, uncertainty, and even anxiety. Though we may be tempted to avoid it or rush our way through, liminal space plays a vital role in our growth and transformation. It is also said to be the place where we most profoundly encounter God. In this message, Oran explores the meaning of liminal space, examines its presence throughout Scripture, and considers how we might learn to wait well in these shadowy in-between places.

6. Kerið Cave: Offerings to the Fire Giant in Iceland's Liminal Space Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age A recent discovery in Iceland is Kerið cave, a lava tube associated with the fire giant Surtr, formed by a volcanic eruption around 900 AD. Deep inside, archaeologists found a massive built wall, unburned animal bones, and stones arranged in the outline of a boat. Within the boat, offerings related to fire—ornaments, jasper, and burned bones—were left, likely intended to placate the fire being dwelling further within, possibly responsible for the volcanic activity. This site represents a liminal space, a meeting point between the physical world and the mythological worlds of fire and ice. After Iceland's official Christian conversion around 1000 AD, a metal cross was left as the final offering, seemingly closing off the pagan practice

(Episode #296)  What if the chaos in your life was not a sign of failure, but proof that something new is ready to take shape?   In this month's Let Me Ask My Psychic, I answer two listener questions about the messy middle of transition, that place where the old has fallen away but the new has not fully arrived. The liminal space can feel deeply uncomfortable, like everything is unraveling at once. But inside that discomfort is where we begin to hear our own voice and discover who we are becoming. I share what this process has been teaching me and how you can lean into self-trust, belonging, and the unknown with more confidence.   I also share the October numerology forecast; a collective month one inside a collective year nine is a rare threshold where endings and beginnings overlap. It reminds us that while old chapters are still closing, this is also the moment to set intentions for what we want to grow next.  If you have been in a chapter that feels uncertain or in-between, I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not doing it wrong. The liminal space is where clarity, courage, and your truest self begin to emerge. October and November client sessions are now open.

Director Frances Lawrence and screenwriter J.T. Mollner's adaptation of Stephen King's "The Long Walk" has been Scotty's most anticipated movie of 2025. So he invited his buddy Amelia Ampuero--the co-host of his other podcast, The Weirdest Thing--back onto the show to talk about it. Scotty gives a quick rundown of the book's history (along with the lore behind the Richard Bachman pen name) before the two dive into their respective reactions to the film. How did Scotty think it held up to King's nihilistic teenage first novel? How did Amelia--a newcomer to the story--respond to this dark mirror of America? Listen and find out! WARNING: This is a SPOILER HEAVY episode for both the book and the movie. Scotty also drops a big spoiler for Frank Darabont's 2007 adaptation of King's "The Mist." So be warned.

This month on the Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we sit down with a dear friend Beth Carestia. Living in the Hudson Valley for almost two decades Beth has come to love our vibrant and diverse community. Local Tarot Reader, proud O+ Alum performer with The Goddess Party and soon to be the MC for the O+ Festival Comedy Show second year running.Playing faithfully with the Rosendale Ukulele group for some time now has brought Beth joy beyond measure. Also being Beth's fifth time contributing her voice to a Radio Kingston show, all have become sparkling personal highlights.We chat with Beth about recently leaving her 9-5 and stepping into what's next. How the yearning to do something more aligned with her passion and purpose started brewing long before the leap, how the loss of the structure has nudged her to look more deeply inward and importantly, how she values and cares for herself. We talk about how she's approaching life with less structure, more joy and a lot of compassion for self.

Do you ever feel stuck in the "messy middle" that difficult space between where you were and where you want to be? This is what we call a liminal space, and it can be one of the toughest environments to navigate. But what if I told you that being in this in-between place is not a punishment, but an opportunity for immense growth? In this episode, we're diving deep into "liminal structures," a powerful concept inspired by an architect who built a home on an impenetrable quarry. ----more---- In this video, you will discover: -Why your instinct to rush out of the "in-between" might be holding you back. -The surprising reasons why suffering doesn't always lead to growth. -How to find joy and your truest self in unexpected places. -The simple steps you can take to not just survive, but thrive in any liminal space. This isn't about ignoring the pain; it's about seeing the possibilities and building a foundation for your truest self, right where you are. If you're a woman who shapes her life by design, this episode will give you the tools you've been searching for. By the end, you'll feel a sense of peace, and perhaps even surrender, to the beautiful journey of the in-between. ----more---- Resources & Community New episodes every Sunday. Let's make it real.

In Episode 224, Dr. Chris Fuzie joins Darrin for a fascinating conversation on behavior-based leadership and the concept of “liminal space”—the space where individuals lead and follow simultaneously. Drawing from his 28 years in law enforcement and extensive leadership consulting experience, Chris breaks down how leadership is not a position but a behavior, and how great leaders also embrace the role of the follower. This episode explores what gets in the way of effective leadership, why behavior matters more than titles, and how reshaping the leadership-followership dynamic is the next evolution in the field.Guest Bio: Dr. Chris Fuzie is the owner of CMF Leadership Consulting and currently serves as the Business/HR Manager for a District Attorney's office in California.

Performance Counseling: Save the Relationship, Change the Behavior, and his latest book, Liminal Space: Reshaping Leadership and Followership.Chris is honorably retired from the Modesto Police Department after 28 years of service, having led teams including the Homicide Team, Hostage Negotiations Team, Street-Level Drug Team, School Police Officer Team, and the Traffic Motor Unit.Dr. Fuzie on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-chris-fuzie-ed-d-m-a-ol-vl2-37587934/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090255232861https://www.facebook.com/chris.fuzie/https://x.com/CMFLeadershipWEBSITE:https://www.cmfleadership.com/https://www.scoreperformancecounseling.com/

Author and musician Jeremy Wagner comes onto the podcast to talk to Scotty about his years as guitarist and lyricist for the seminal death-metal band Broken Hope (also known as the band that broke Scotty's body back in '97), as well as his career as a horror writer with the popular novels "The Armageddon Chord," "Rabid Heart," and the upcoming "Wretch" (look for it in October from Dead Sky Publishing). Jeremy talks about influences as disparate as Peter Benchley's original "Jaws" (1974) and the songwriting of Slayer's Jeff Hanneman, and how they--along with his interest in history, mythology, and the brutality of death metal--helped form his unique sensibility. He and Scotty discuss the development of his own conversational writing style, the importance of specific teachers and mentors throughout his career, and more. Jeremy also talks about his relationship with chef Curtis Duffy of famed Chicago restaurants Grace and Ever and how that friendship led to their upcoming collaboration "Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef," which will arrive in August from Dead Sky Publishing.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? Angela Williams Gorrell joins Mark Labberton to discuss her latest book, Braving Difficult Decisions. With poignant storytelling and theological depth, Gorrell shares how this book was born out of personal crucibles and a yearning to make sense of liminal, paralyzing spaces we all encounter—individually and communally. Together they explore how discernment is not just about decision-making but also about cultivating a life of wisdom, attentiveness, and spiritual depth. Rooted in Christian tradition yet capacious across communities and contexts, Gorrell invites listeners to slow down, ask deeper questions, and consider the spiritual, emotional, and communal terrain that shapes every meaningful decision. Episode Highlights “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “This journey is about an inward journey that says, how do I look at the state of my own soul?” “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good.” “What if the best idea isn't the good idea? And what if the data can't tell us that?” “Lady Wisdom invites us to dine—to sit at a table with God and others, and not rush the meal.” Helpful Links and Resources Braving Difficult Decisions, by Angela Williams Gorrell The Gravity of Joy, by Angela Williams Gorrell Life Worth Living course at Yale www.angelagorrell.com @angelagorrell on Instagram Show Notes The “liminal space” of facing a difficult decision, arriving at a crossroads Defining discernment as “a practice, not a single moment of choice” The book stems from her decision to leave a tenured-track faculty position, and a painful personal choice about marriage Perpetua and Felicity—early Christian martyrs Individual discernment and soul work Life Worth Living at Yale “Can I be suffering and my life still be good?” The deeply heartbreaking experience of grappling with the question of divorce “I really struggled to find a book that was like, you can be deeply Christian, deeply spiritual, and make this very difficult choice.” “You have to put them in your own heart and soul. You have to grapple with these ideas, and then you write them.” Should we avoid difficult decisions? Discerning, then acting “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “I wanted to write a book that spoke to that liminal space where we feel paralyzed.” “Good decisions don't always feel good—they might still break your heart” Discusses difference between chronic pain and acute pain in decision-making Discernment helps identify not just what is “right,” but what leads toward peace Michaela O'Donnell and chronic pain Discernment is about “looking at the state of your own soul and becoming a steward of it” “This story that God is nurturing in the world—that story doesn't hinge on like this decision in your life.” Self-examination, and feeling alone in the decision Community-based decision-making “There are all these false binaries.” “What baggage do you have from the past? And how do you make sure that you're not seeing the present moment through the past?” Being as gracious as possible “ What is a way that we can create space to really hear from God?—to hear from each other, and to move forward in a way that we're doing change together and not to each other.” “They need to figure out something together that matters deeply.” The book offers a pathway for congregations and organizations discerning together “How do we do change with people?” Encourages communities to take time, name past wounds, and define who makes decisions Identifies the importance of setting clear expectations, timelines, and spiritual framing “Listening to everyone takes time, but it leads to deeper collective ownership.” Invites communities to ask: What values do we want to embody in this moment? “Sometimes the most valuable part of the process is the slowness.” Wisdom, complexity, and culture Decision-making in our polarized society must account for nuance, empathy, and complexity “What if the data tells us one thing, but the Spirit tells us something else?” Resist “data-driven” decisions as totalizing; discernment includes emotion, history, and spirituality. “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good, you know? Sometimes a life worth living is not about pursuing happiness.” “Lady Wisdom invites us to come and to dine at her house and to sit at a table together.” Names systemic fatigue: “Organizations optimize while their people starve.” Decision-making is affected by race, gender, trauma, context—“there is no one-size-fits-all path” Discernment as a practice, not a moment Braving Difficult Decisions includes exercises and frameworks, such as the “iceberg model” “Most big questions are like an iceberg. There's all this ice beneath the surface that you don't see. That's really the stuff that people are grappling with.” Encourages ongoing wisdom practices: surrender, self-reflection, value-alignment The book is not just a guide for one hard moment, but a long-term companion Ideal for pastors, therapists, educators, spiritual directors, and leaders About Angela Williams Gorrell Rev.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 732, to share how to stop living someone else's life by removing unconscious scripts, the key to living an authentic life, and how embracing liminal spaces, questioning societal scripts, and running tiny experiments can free us from the pressure of finding our purpose. "We always think that we're following our own definition of success, but it's just amazing how many of our scripts are copy-pasted from other people. And not wanting to disappoint your parents is actually a really strong driving force." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff
