Sometimes the biggest reset doesn't come from doing more, but from zooming out far enough to see what really matters.That's exactly what productivity expert Ali Abdaal does every year, with a practice that at first sounds unusual, he writes his own obituary. Not to dwell on the end, but to remind himself how he wants to live.Ali's story is a powerful reminder that alignment beats hustle. A former doctor turned one of the world's most-followed productivity voices, he's learned that the real danger isn't burnout from overwork, but “misalignment fatigue”, the exhaustion that comes when your daily actions don't reflect the life you actually want.In this episode, I share what I've taken from Ali's approach and how you can use it as a compass too. We explore:Why writing your obituary is really about living, not dyingHow to spot “misalignment fatigue” before it derails youThe science of mortality awareness and why it makes us kinderSmall steps to bring your daily choices closer to your true storyIf you've ever felt stuck, drifting, or unsure where your energy should go, this episode is a reminder that high performance isn't about squeezing more into the day.Here is more information on the studies referenced: The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life (Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski, 2015) Evidence That Reminders of Mortality Increase Generosity ( Ilan Dar-Nimrod, Tom Pyszczynski, Jamie Arndt, et al. 2008) Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want, (Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy 2016)Listen to the full episode with Ali Abdaal: https://pod.fo/e/213471 Hosted on Acast.

She has been called the internet’s most compassionate truth-teller on death and dying. As a hospice nurse, bestselling author, and storyteller, Julie McFadden has opened conversations that most of us avoid, reminding us that in looking closely at the end of life, we discover what it really means to live. In this tender and eye-opening episode, Hospice Nurse Julie joins Sarah Grynberg to demystify what happens at the bedside of the dying, from deathbed visions and the mysterious “death stare,” to why hearing is often the last sense to go. With honesty, grace, and even humour, she shows how death is not just a biological process, but a deeply human one, filled with love, connection, and even beauty. You’ll learn: *Why talking openly about death is the key to living more fully. *The science and spirituality of deathbed visions. *How showing children death can actually teach them about life. This episode is a poignant reminder that death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it and that in embracing it, we may just find the courage to live more deeply, truthfully, and lovingly.

Send us a textGreg Kimble's story defies the ordinary arc of success. From a Capitol Records artist at 15 to a Vegas headliner at 21 making $25,000 weekly, his early trajectory seemed glamorous—until it nearly destroyed him. When his father showed up unannounced to save him from self-destruction, Greg experienced the first of many spiritual nudges that would ultimately redirect his life toward purpose and impact."Everyone has something inside that is needed and necessary in this world," Greg shares with electric conviction. This belief fuels his work through The Final Percent, a company named after witnessing a total solar eclipse in Wyoming. The metaphor is powerful—at 99% coverage, daylight remains equivalent to 10,000 full moons, but that final 1% creates total transformation. This philosophy now drives his approach to personal development and the 15 international masterminds he leads.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Greg's raw honesty about family trauma and forgiveness. Rather than perpetuating cycles of violence with his abusive brother, he chose a different path—"Conflict is inevitable. Combat is a choice." This distinction offers listeners a framework for handling their own difficult relationships without compromising their values or peace.Most striking is Greg's challenge about imagination itself. "Both faith and fear are completely made up," he explains, suggesting we have the power to choose which stories we tell ourselves. Why invent worst-case scenarios when we could just as easily imagine positive outcomes? His practical approach to spirituality frames God not as a "genie" but as a partner who provides opportunities that require our action.Are you living a life worth dying for? As Greg points out, no one knows when their time will end—"life hides the game clock." This sobering reality isn't meant to frighten but to galvanize. Stop waiting for perfect conditions, take massive action on your ideas, and show the world who you truly are. Your journey toward purpose begins with a single, courageous step.To Book a FREE DISCOVERY CALL with Dr. Harte, click the link below!https://calendly.com/drharte/free-discovery-call-w-dr-harteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Men, are you ready to transform your life by embracing the virtue that unlocks God's grace? From the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom delivers a powerful homily on humility, the foundational virtue that keeps us grounded as sons of God. Drawing from the Book of Sirach and the Eucharistic liturgy, Fr. Dom unpacks how humility shapes every aspect of our lives; work, family, and faith. He challenges you to pray daily, “Lord, humble me today,” to see reality through God's eyes and break free from the grip of pride. Tailored for men striving to live authentically Catholic lives, this homily explores how humility in the Mass, from kneeling in prayer to offering your struggles at the altar, leads to a deeper relationship with Christ. Whether you're battling pride or seeking spiritual strength, hit play to discover how to live humbly and find favor with God.Resources:- Book of Sirach (Scripture reference).- Matthew 5:8 (Beatitudes, Scripture reference).- Psalm 69:32 (Scripture reference).- James 4:6 (Scripture reference).- Diary of St. Faustina (source of “I Will Not Retreat” prayer).- Revelation Chapter 8 (Scripture reference to incense and prayers rising to heaven).Powerful Quotes1. “My child, conduct your affairs with humility and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.”2. “Humility is necessary for climbing the spiritual mountain. Humility is necessary to have a relationship with the Lord, to be filled with spiritual richness, and to be guided by God.”3. “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter unto my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.”Key Takeaway to Adapt Immediately:Pray daily, “Lord, humble me today,” to view your life through God's eyes, rooting out pride and aligning your heart with His will.#CatholicFaith#HumilityInFaith#CatholicMen#SpiritualGrowth#EucharisticLiturgy#LiveCatholic#FaithAndHumility#CatholicPodcast#ChristianMen#MassExplainedSend us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Ever grown up believing you need to “find your person” to live a full life? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg questions the story we’ve all been told, that romantic love is the ultimate goal and explores what it means to see yourself as already whole. You’ll learn:*Why the belief that single life is just a waiting room keeps so many of us feeling incomplete.*How choosing yourself can open the door to deeper forms of connection and purpose.*Why love isn’t limited to romance, it shows up in friendships, creativity, community, and the quiet ways we care for ourselves. This isn’t an episode about giving up on love. It’s about releasing the myth that you need someone else to complete you and discovering the freedom, richness, and wholeness of a life that’s already yours.

Ever noticed how quickly the word “pseudoscience” gets thrown around?

497-Living a Life of No Regrets in Marriage and Faith [Re-Release] (Previously Titled: Changing OURSELVES in Light of Eternity) Hello, listeners! As we continue to work on our recording our very first in-person trainings, we hope you will enjoy some of the re-releases from the past few years of the Delight Your Marriage podcast (It has certainly been sweet to us to re-listen and share some of our favorites with you!) For this week, we hope you will enjoy a little bit of Christmas in the summertime as we talk about living life in light of eternity. Christmas is certainly a wonderful time to remember who Jesus is and why he is worthy of our lives, but we think a balmy day in August is a good time to remember that also. Enjoy this re-release and we look forward to sharing some other favorite episodes with you soon! God bless! Marriage as Your First Assignment Before God When we think about standing before Jesus one day, many of us imagine wanting to hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” But how often do we connect that vision with our marriages? The truth is, God has entrusted you with a spouse—not by accident, not as an afterthought, but as a sacred assignment. Your husband or wife is your first ministry. Loving God by Loving Your Spouse Jesus told us the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—and the second is like it: to love our neighbor as ourselves. And who is your closest neighbor? Your spouse. No one else can encourage your spouse like you can. No one else can pray for them, serve them, or provide safety and intimacy in the same way. Your marriage is one of the clearest ways to live out your love for God. When you choose to love your husband or wife with gentleness, patience, and sacrificial love, you are actually loving Jesus. Integrity, Intimacy, and Safety Loving your spouse well isn't just about words—it's about integrity. It's about creating true safety by guarding your heart, your eyes, and your thoughts. It's about saying no to distractions that cheapen your focus—whether that's pornography, busyness, or pouring your energy into hobbies instead of your home. When you choose discipline, integrity, and faithfulness, your spouse experiences the safety God designed marriage to provide. And intimacy—emotional, spiritual, and physical—flows from that foundation. A Life with No Regrets This life is short. One day, you and I will stand before Jesus. What will we be able to say about how we loved? Did we prioritize our marriages? Did we love our spouses as Christ asked us to? Did we make sacrifices to ensure our marriages reflected His heart? The good news is—it's not too late. Today, you can choose to love your spouse as your first assignment before God. You can choose to realign your priorities and live with no regrets. Your Invitation Your marriage is not just about you and your spouse—it's about reflecting Jesus to the world. When you love your spouse well, you glorify God. Take some time today to ask: What does it mean for me to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength? How can I show that love to my spouse in practical, tangible ways? What do I want to be true of me when I stand before Jesus? Friend, don't waste the life God has entrusted to you. Start with the person He's placed right by your side. Your first neighbor. You can do this. God bless you, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you are ready to join our Coaching Programs, we would love to chat with you! Schedule a free Clarity Call with one of our Clarity Call advisors and discover what your marriage needs to fully connected once again. PPS - We are doing a pilot launch in churches this Fall! The Masculinity Reclaimed & Delighted Wife programs that you know and love are being adapted for in-person groups and we cannot wait to show them to you. If you'd like your church to be a part of our pilot program, please check out https://delightyourmarriage.com/church/ PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "We were both resentful of how we treated each other. My expectations were rarely met and I could be quite cold. My moods would overflow into my parenting and even work. After 20+ years of this I had very little hope that things could change. I was not going to leave my family, but I did seek to escape through alcohol and pornography at times... [Now,] My wife has told me she feels safe. She has begun to trust that my change is not a passing fad. I have gained understanding in how to love her well. I look forward to being around her, and to pampering her and loving her well. This has overflowed into intimacy emotionally, spiritually, and physically...I didn't realize how much pain I was causing her, or how self focused I was. I was trying to get her to change and should have been working on me."

Ever found yourself asking ChatGPT something you’d normally only whisper to a friend or a therapist? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores why AI feels like such a safe place to share our questions and fears, and what gets lost when we start turning to machines instead of people. You’ll learn:*Why the appeal of AI isn’t just about answers, but the absence of judgment.*What technology can give us in moments of uncertainty and what it never can.*Why real connection still requires presence, silence, and the irreplaceable weight of being witnessed. This isn’t an episode about technology. It’s about what it means to be human in an age of instant responses, and why we still need the pause, the eye contact, and the quiet reassurance that says, “You are not alone.” Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

"Living a Life of Faith," Ordinary Time; Hebrews 12:1-14; Rev. Dcn. JD Meeder.

Abiding in God's Love by Living a Life of Surrender (Formerly Titled: Real Love Takes Sacrifice) We know the Bible says “God is love” (1 John 4:8) and that He loved us first. But if we're honest, many of us spend more time wondering, “Does God really love me?” than asking the deeper, more revealing question: “Do I truly love Him?” That's the heart of today's message. God's love for you is unshakable, unchanging, and eternal. The real question is whether your love for Him is genuine—and if it's showing up in your life the way true love always does: through sacrifice. When You Don't Feel God's Love Maybe you've been a Christian for years but can't remember the last time you felt God's love. You've read the verses. You've prayed the prayers. But it's like you're in a spiritual drought. The truth? Feelings aren't the measure of His love. But there's often a missing link when we feel disconnected from God—and it's not that He's holding back. It's that our love for Him hasn't moved from words to action. Abiding in God's Love Requires Sacrifice Jesus said plainly, “If you love Me, keep My commands” (John 14:15). Love isn't just warm feelings or goosebumps in worship—it's obedience. And obedience requires sacrifice. That sacrifice may look like: Giving up your comfort Laying down your need for control Surrendering your demand to understand everything before trusting Releasing opinions that don't align with His Word It's the same principle in marriage—love grows deeper when it's willing to lay self aside for the other's good. Our relationship with Jesus is no different. The Pearl of Great Price and God's Love In Matthew 13:45–46, Jesus tells of a merchant who sold all he had to buy one pearl of great value. That's what loving God looks like—letting go of everything else so you can fully hold onto Him. You don't get the pearl without selling all. You don't experience the fullness of God's love without the surrender that real love demands. Beyond the Honeymoon: Abiding in God's Love Daily Some of us have had that powerful, early experience with God—a “honeymoon” season where His presence felt constant and overwhelming. But just like in marriage, the relationship matures. The emotions may not always be intense, but the love grows deeper as it's proven through daily, intentional sacrifice. Surrender: The Path to Experiencing God's Love If you want a fresh revelation of God's love, start here: Ask Him to show you where He's calling you to surrender. Choose obedience in that area—even when it costs you. Trust Him with the outcome. When you give Him your heart in this way, you'll discover what you can't manufacture through feelings alone: the deep, abiding joy of walking in step with His love.

During this week's episode, Matthew and Anthony focused on the power of surrender, the dangers of living for status updates, and the call to walk in true legacy and accountability. In a world where every action is documented and broadcasted, we must be mindful of the legacy we're building, not just for ourselves but for those who come after us. When we surrender our will, embrace accountability, and live for legacy, God elevates us and uses us to change the game in our spheres of influence.

Change doesn't always come with a breakthrough—it often begins with a single small step taken with intention. Brianna Wiest shares her wisdom on how micro shifts, emotional awareness, and self-compassion can transform not only your habits but your entire life. With clarity and heart, she explores the power of slowing down, embracing seasons of transition, and building emotional architecture that supports lasting growth. Her perspective reminds us that the life we're waiting for is already unfolding—one small, consistent choice at a time. Key Takeaways: Small, intentional actions create momentum for long-term transformation without overwhelming your nervous system. Emotional architecture helps you process feelings as teachers, not obstacles. Self-sabotage often masks a deeper need for safety or care—identifying those needs can break the cycle. Consistent routines and community connections are essential to staying grounded during life's in-between seasons. Trusting your journey means surrendering to the present and aligning with your own pace of growth.   About Brianna Wiest: Brianna is the bestselling author of the books 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, The Mountain Is You, The Pivot Year, and more. Her books have sold millions of copies, regularly appear on global bestseller lists, and are currently being translated into 40+ languages. She has a B.A. in English and an Honorary Doctorate in Literature, both from Elizabethtown College. briannawiest.com    Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!
