What is staying comfortable costing you?In this final episode of our summer series on joy, we are talking about the hidden cost of staying inside your comfort zone. Familiar routines may feel safe, but they can also keep you stuck, disconnected, and missing the experiences that make you feel fully alive.You will discover why joy often requires courage, how new experiences can bring fresh energy and meaning to your life, and what can happen when you stop letting fear make your decisions. You do not need to make a dramatic change. Sometimes one small step, one new connection, or one brave yes can open the door to more joy.We will also explore how partnering with God can help you move beyond fear, recognize the opportunities in front of you, and live with greater purpose. If life has started to feel predictable or flat, this episode will encourage you to take one simple step beyond what feels familiar.Staying comfortable may feel safe, but it can quietly cost you joy, growth, and meaningful experiences.You do not need to completely change your life to feel more alive.Small, courageous choices can interrupt routine and create new energy.Fear often keeps us from opportunities God may be placing in front of us.Joy is frequently found in simple experiences, meaningful relationships, and being fully present.Partnering with God gives us courage to move forward even when the outcome is uncertain.Stepping outside your comfort zone can help you reconnect with your purpose and with parts of yourself you may have forgotten.Join us for Joy Camp Summer here - https://kristinfitch.com/joyGrab the Rewire Your Mind: From Negativity to Joy- download here.Grab the Joy Rising- Daily Gratitude & Joy Journal here.Download My Free Joyful Living Devotional: https://kristinfitch.com/devotionalReady to take your first step towards a more joyful, faith-filled life?

What can a 1600s Dutch painting featuring a skull, a fading flower, and a ticking clock teach us about our daily choices? In this episode we explore the art genre of vanitas and the powerful concept of memento mori—the intentional reminder that our time on earth is finite.We break down the meaning behind these symbols and why they still matter today. Rather than inspiring fear, these classical masterpieces were designed to offer clarity. By placing beauty, wealth, and pleasure directly alongside mortality, vanitas art challenges us to stop delaying conversations, focus on what truly matters, and live with intention. https://bit.ly/4bDdZ9FIn this Episode:Charlie shares a retro 1930s recipe for Judy Garland's favorite vegetable salad (complete with her secret dressing tip!) and reflects on her life and legacy. Marianne breaks down the hidden symbolism behind vanitas genre art—from musical instruments and rotting fruit to hourglasses and silver skull pocket watches. Listen to a poem that reflects on anticipatory grief, legacy, and honoring loved ones in thought and memory Time is moving, but awareness brings purpose.

Heather Butchen is a care partner for her husband Jeff, who was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease at 51 years old. Over the past decade-plus, Heather has navigated the evolving challenges that come with a progressive disease — and a few years ago, she and Jeff reached a major milestone when he underwent Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, known as DBS. In this episode, Heather shares practical wisdom from her caregiving journey. We talk about how she keeps a dedicated medical journal to stay organized across doctor's appointments and support group meetings, and how those notes proved invaluable when they were ready to explore DBS surgery. Heather also shares how she and Jeff co-founded a Parkinson's support group back in 2014 that is still going strong today. She shares her "do it now" philosophy when it comes to travel, including smart tips for navigating airports with a hidden disability using the Sunflower Lanyard program. She talks candidly about the creativity it takes to keep a care partner engaged in physical activity — and why boxing has been an ideal activity for Jeff. We also get into the tender aspects of their partnership — how they've simplified family gatherings to reduce stress, how they use conversation cards at dinner to reconnect and go deeper after 31 years of marriage, and what it has looked like to rediscover each other as their kids have grown and moved out. And we absolutely talk about Heather's own self-care routines, which include walking catch-ups with friends, Pilates, Mahjong, and her favorite snacks.

Today is my dog Bear's third birthday, and sitting here scrolling through photos made me realize how much a three-year-old Australian shepherd has taught me about living at full capacity. The lessons he models every single day, without thinking about it, are things most of us struggle to apply even when we know better. I break down four specific behaviors Bear lives by that, if you adopted them, would change how you start your mornings, how you focus your energy, and how you show up for the people who matter most. This one is personal, but the lessons hit hard. Key Takeaways Every morning is a genuinely new day. Waking up with the expectation that today is your day attracts opportunity and conditions your mind to spot what is going right. You have to hit the ground running. Decision-making energy is finite, and the early part of your day is when you are at your sharpest. Protect that window. Full immersion beats multitasking every time. Pouring everything into the task in front of you produces higher quality results and fewer regrets. Presence is a form of love. Whether you are in a meeting, on a hike, or at dinner, being completely there is one of the most powerful things you can offer. Show genuine excitement for the people you care about. Letting someone know their presence lights you up costs nothing and means everything. Action Steps Set a morning intention before you look at your phone. Say out loud that today is your day and identify one thing you will accomplish before 8 a.m. For the next seven days, pick one task or one conversation per day and commit to zero distractions until it is finished. No switching, no half-effort. The next time someone you care about walks through the door, greet them like it matters. Put the phone down, make eye contact, and let them feel it. Notable Quote You gotta be great by eight. Because after 8 a.m., there's no telling where the day's gonna go, but that time before is for me.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Marilyn Sherman, Hall of Fame speaker, Certified Speaking Professional, five-time author, and founder of UpFront Presentations, to explore how to stop settling and create your own version of Front Row Success. For more than two decades, Marilyn has helped leaders strengthen their resilience, improve communication, and lead with greater confidence. She shares practical strategies to get unstuck, overcome self-doubt, and intentionally choose the seat you want in life. Episode Description Where are you sitting in the venue of your life? Marilyn explains that we all have three choices: the balcony, general admission, or the front row. The balcony is where we feel stuck and disconnected. General admission is our comfort zone, where life may not feel bad, but we're operating mostly by habit. The front row is where we feel alive, energized, valued, and fully engaged in the life we're creating. In this conversation, Marilyn shares her SEAT of Success framework: See the outcome you desire, manage your Energy, strengthen your Attitude, and build Tenacity. She and Dr. Cindra explore how fear of failure, limiting beliefs, and negative self-talk can keep us from moving forward. Marilyn also shares why taking action matters more than simply studying successful people and how starting a Win List can train your brain to notice evidence of progress and possibility. You don't have to settle for the seat you're in. You can change your choices, shift your perspective, and intentionally move toward your own front row. You'll Learn: Why fear of failure keeps more people stuck than failure itself. What it means to live in the balcony, general admission, or front row of your life. How to define what Front Row Success looks like for you. Discover the SEAT of Success framework and how to apply it to your goals. Learn how your self-talk and limiting beliefs influence the actions you take. Build greater confidence by creating a Win List and collecting evidence of your progress. Strengthen your energy, attitude, and tenacity when obstacles appear. Take intentional action to stop settling and move toward the life you truly want.

Send me a messageWe are all going to die. While that sounds scary, it's actually the most freeing realization you can ever have.In this podcast, I explore why the pressure we put on ourselves—to be perfect, to fulfill a grand scheme, or to live forever—is the root of all stress. When we finally accept our inevitable demise, we loosen the bonds of attachment and free ourselves to "live big," take risks, and cherish every single moment.What you'll learn:- Why "dying before you die" is the ultimate practice for peace.- How to transition from worrying about dying to getting busy living.- The nature of consciousness: why the essence of who you are is eternal and changeless.- Practical ways to use the reminder of impermanence to love more deeply.Don't spend "recess" sitting on the sidelines because it's short. Get out there, hit the swings, and enjoy the dance of life.#mindfulness #spiritualawakening #innerpeace #meditation #perelsofwisdom #livingfully #philosophy Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Waiting to feel worthy before you fully show up for your life is one of the most common and most costly patterns Celeste sees. Because the feeling of worthiness doesn't arrive before the living — it arrives because of it. In today's episode, Celeste challenges the idea that you need to feel ready, healed, or worthy enough before you deserve to inhabit your own life completely. The life you've been waiting to live is available right now. Not later. Now. If you've been living at half capacity waiting for the green light, this one is it. Today's shift: Do one thing today that the worthy version of you would do — before you feel worthy enough to do it.

The author of the book Eating Adverbs: A Recipe for Living Fully, Boldly and Unapologetically and a seasoned performing arts administrator. 

Join Charlotte and guest author Roland Heersink as they talk about how retirement is a turning point that exposes what truly shapes our faith, purpose, and priorities. Many Christians enter the retirement season expecting rest and freedom, only to face unexpected questions about identity, meaning, and how to finish well. Retirement Truths was written by Heersink and contributing theologian Dr. Szaszi Bene from Tyndale Seminary in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The book offers a clear, deeply biblical vision for navigating this decisive stage of life with faith and wisdom.Grounded in more than 150 Bible passages, this book brings rare clarity to a topic Scripture addresses often, but Christian literature rarely explores with depth. Rather than offering lifestyle advice or encouragement to stay busy, his book speaks honestly about the real spiritual challenges of retirement – loss of role, fear, complacency, suffering, declining health, and the approach of death – and shows how the Bible speaks directly to each one.This insightful podcast conversation will help you view retirement not as a problem to manage or a reward to enjoy, but as a distinct calling. In this special season of life, you can: Rethink successRedefine productivity,And live your later years with purpose, surrender, and lasting fruitfulnessRetirement also is a time for having: A biblically grounded framework for understanding retirement, rooted wholly in ScriptureClear insight into the hidden spiritual challenges many retirees experience but rarely nameGuidance for finishing well, even amid limitation, illness, or uncertaintyA perspective on retirement that goes far beyond activity, leisure, or self-fulfillment Whether you are approaching or living in retirement, or are preparing ahead of that time, this podcast offers clarity, depth, and encouragement for one of life's most important seasons.Retirement is not about doing more. It's about finishing well.As Roland says, “Do your best, let Jesus do the rest (and don't be stressed.) "Listen in to this conversation and order Heersink's book to learn how. Thanks for joining us! Roland Heersink is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur with decades of leadership experience across small, medium, and large organizations. He is the Founder and Chairman of God & Work and Christian Business Angels and has written more than 85 Bible reading plans followed by over half a million subscribers, helping people integrate faith into everyday life.To order Roland's book, Retirement Truths – What the Bible Says Compared to Popular Narratives,  click here. To read one of Roland's Bible plans, click here. Click here to receive a free PDF from Roland about numbering your days. To learn more about God & Work and Christian Business Angels, click here.  Charlotte has published YouVersion Bible plans on various subjects, including Living Fully in the Empty Nest.

You love Jesus—but if you're honest, it can be easy to coast. Maybe you've got the intention but not the follow-through. Maybe you're following through, but your heart's off: it's for the checklist, the self-promotion, the feeling instead of for Him. In this episode, we're sitting in 1 Corinthians and asking the uncomfortable-but-good question: Am I running this race to obtain the prize, or just living the Christian life aimlessly? Paul says runners run to get the prize, so run in a way that wins it and a couple chapters later, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.  I share the simple rhythm my husband and I started and the honest self-examination that followed: Am I running with intention, discipline, and determination —or lackadaisically, only when it's convenient, or worse, for myself? We talk about where "running to win" actually shows up in ordinary life. 15% off Hosanna Revival Code ‘shelivespurposefully': https://hosannarevival.com/shelivespurposefully  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we're discussing From Numbing Out to Living Fully. The end of the day hits differently when you are parenting alone. The kids are down, the house is finally quiet, and instead of feeling relief, there is this hollow weight that settles in. So you reach for something, anything, to take the edge off. A drink, a show, a scroll, something sweet. It does not feel like a problem. It feels like survival. But over time, the things you are leaning on to get through the day start quietly working against you, leaving you more exhausted, more disconnected, and further from the version of yourself you actually want to be. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, sit down with Katrina Morriss, a licensed mental health nurse practitioner and single mom who has been part of the Solo Parent community since 2020. Katrina's story is not a tidy before-and-after. It is raw, honest, and the kind of account that makes you feel less alone in your own struggle. Together they walk through what it looks like to recognize the cycle, face the fear of what is on the other side of it, and find your way back to the moments that matter most. Key Insights from This Episode: Numbing and restoring are not the same thing. What feels like relief at the end of a hard day may actually be the thing keeping you stuck in exhaustion. The known hell feels safer than the unknown heaven. Fear of what healing requires keeps more solo parents in the cycle than the pain of staying in it. Presence for your kids is the fuel, not just the goal. The unregrettable moments with your children are what make the hard work of recovery worth sustaining.

"What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you desire isn't a lack of talent, confidence, or opportunity but a fear of being truly seen?" In this deeply powerful episode, Kute Blackson explores one of the most hidden fears we all carry: the fear of visibility. Beneath perfectionism, procrastination, self-doubt, and the endless search for the "right time" often lies something much deeper: The fear of judgment, rejection, misunderstanding, and even the fear of stepping into our own power. Kute reveals how childhood experiences and old survival patterns shape our relationship with self-expression, why the masks that once protected us can eventually become prisons, and how many of us unknowingly reject ourselves before the world ever has the chance. He unpacks the five hidden fears that keep us playing small and the subtle ways fear disguises itself as preparation, humility, and perfectionism. If you've ever felt called to share more of yourself, pursue a bigger vision, speak your truth, or step into a greater purpose, but found yourself hesitating, this episode will help you understand why. More importantly, it will show you how to move beyond fear with greater courage, authenticity, and self-trust. Because the world doesn't need a perfect version of you. It needs the real you. TIMESTAMPS (00:04:20) – What are you hiding from the world? (00:07:08) – Why your purpose requires visibility. (00:11:06) – How childhood experiences create the fear of being seen. (00:14:35) – The five fears that keep people playing small. (00:20:55) – How perfectionism and procrastination disguise fear. (00:22:33) – Practical steps to overcome visibility fears and share your gifts. QUESTIONS THAT MAY CHANGE HOW YOU SEE YOUR LIFE • What am I hiding from the world and why? • When did I first learn that it wasn't safe to be fully seen? • Am I truly preparing or am I using preparation to avoid exposure? • What would become possible if I stopped worrying about being judged? • How much of my life is still being shaped by old survival patterns? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER • Why the fear of being seen, not a lack of confidence, is often what keeps you stuck. • The five hidden fears that prevent people from fully expressing their gifts. • How childhood experiences silently shape your relationship with visibility and self-expression. • The surprising ways fear disguises itself as perfectionism, procrastination, and "waiting for the right time." • Why judgment, rejection, and even success can feel threatening to your nervous system.   Create a life that is a masterpiece.

Listen in as Charlotte welcomes guests Heather Creekmore and Doris Swift.  Heather and Doris are authors, speakers, podcast hosts and more. And they are aging gratefully with us! Heather wrote Aging Gratefully, Compared to Who? and The Comparison Free Life. Doris wrote Surrender the Joy Stealers. All books are available on Amazon. Friends, these books are so helpful, and we need them.  In this podcast episode, we talk about struggles many women face but rarely speak about openly: body image, midlife, how to age gratefully and what comes to steal our joy as we juggle so much in our encore years. Heather shares a bit about her own journey, one that many of us women have struggled with - years of dieting, disordered eating, and the belief that changing our body would finally bring happiness. Marriage and motherhood don't resolve these struggles. For Heather, a message about modern-day idolatry led to a powerful awakening in her heart. Charlotte and Doris have their own body image journeys and share from the heart as well. Cultural messages fuel our obsession with appearance, how comparison robs us of our joy, and why true freedom comes from understanding our God-given identity—not from pursuing the latest health trend or fitting into a certain pair of jeans.  Doris shares about what led her to write her power Bible study, Surrender the Joy Stealers, and how we can stand firm and stand against what threatens our joy. It's a task that requires daily surrender and intentionality.  Whether you've battled body image insecurities, comparison in any area of your life, or the pressures of aging in a looks-obsessed world, this honest and hope-filled conversation will inspire you to pursue joy, purpose, and your fierce calling right where you are. Speaking of Fierce Calling, that is the name of Doris's podcast. Heather's is called Compared to Who? You'll want to tune in to both. Get ready for truths, laughter, encouragement, and the reminder that you are so much more than a number on a scale, a face in the mirror or a person juggling much in the empty nest. Together, and with Christ at the center of it all, we can have a full and joy-filled life.  To reach Heather Creekmore, click here.  To purchase her books, click below:  Aging Gratefully Compared to Who? The Burden of Better  To reach Doris Swift, click here:  To purchase Doris's book, click below:  Surrender the Joy Stealers  To reach Charlotte, click here.  To subscribe to Charlotte's Bible Plan, Living Fully in the Empty Nest, click here.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAW #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation with keynote speaker, leadership trainer, and singer-songwriter, Rachel Druckenmiller. Essential listening for anyone ready to stop holding the best parts of themselves back. Some people find their way to a courageous pivot through careful planning. Others get there because life makes the decision for them. And then there's the kind of wisdom that only comes from having done both, and arriving somewhere you never could have mapped. Rachel Druckenmiller is the kind of guest who says things you'll be repeating to yourself for weeks. About what it means to say yes before you feel ready. About the difference between a life that looks successful and one that actually feels alive. About speaking your desires out loud, even the ones that seem too big, too unlikely, too far away. About how the things that fall apart are often quietly clearing the path to what's next. There is a particular kind of courage in letting yourself be seen doing the thing you love most. Rachel has had to find that courage more than once, in more than one arena. What she's discovered on the other side is nothing short of a blueprint for coming home to yourself.

David Ferrugio has been hosting Dead Talks Podcast for six years, built on a simple but radical premise: death is the one experience every single one of us shares, so why aren't we talking about it? What started as a way to process losing his father in the North Tower on September 11th, 2001 when David was twelve years old, has grown into one of the more remarkable shows in the grief space. Eclectic guests, real conversations, zero pretense. Sarah and Jane are big fans, and this episode felt like meeting an old friend. David talks about what compelled him to start the show, what hundreds of conversations about grief and loss have taught him, and why death remains so taboo when it's the most universal thing we've got. David, Jane and Sarah dig into the strange duality of grief: how 9/11 was simultaneously the most public and the most isolating event of his life, and how that contradiction is actually at the heart of what grief feels like for all of us. They also get into intuition, energy sovereignty, why men are so underrepresented in this space, and how Dead Talks has become a place where people feel safe. Key Takeaways: Grief is simultaneously the most universal human experience and the most isolating one. Building community around it,  even just a comments section, gives people permission to speak their truth. Men showing up to talk openly about grief is significant. It lets other men know that vulnerability is safe and it shifts the cultural conversation in a way that benefits all. Fear of death often comes down to fear of the unknown.  Trying to control the uncontrollable is exhausting and ultimately impossible. The better plan is learning to go for the ride. Direct Quotes: "It's the most universal experience, yet the most isolating experience at the same time. Just like life, it's a double-edged sword." — David Ferrugio "All people want is to be heard and validated. And if they're saying it here, they might feel somewhat safe in saying it — because this is what we're doing here." — David Ferrugio "My dream is for everybody who wants to, to just delight in the fact that they have access to energy, to spirit, to their intuition. It's not some weird, freaky thing." — Sarah   Dead Talks  – https://www.deadtalks.net/ Dead Talks YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB_jnuH15XMk2Vx_7_-aIAw David's Book: You're Not Dead Yet - Pre-Order and Download Ch 1 Pre-Order on Bookshop Pre-Order on Barnes and Noble   Medium Curious –  https://www.mediumcurious.com Book a reading with Jane Morgan https://www.janemorganmedium.com/ Book a reading with Sarah Rathke https://www.sarahrathke.com/ Jane's Substack – https://janemorgan.substack.com Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mediumcuriouspod/

Living Fully with CF: Christopher Cornejo's Journey from Diagnosis to Avatar This fast-moving and deeply engaging conversation features Christopher Cornejo, who brings a fresh and powerful voice to the cystic fibrosis community. Diagnosed with CF as an adult just three years ago, Christopher has quickly become an advocate, sharing his story on stage at a UCLA CF symposium and being honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Southern California's Finest. What makes Christopher's story especially compelling is his perspective, shaped not only by his diagnosis, but by his career in film, including his work as a technical director on Avatar 2 and 3. In this heartfelt interview, Christopher opens up about his late diagnosis, navigating medical challenges, and how openness, community, and resilience have shaped his journey. We talk about his later diagnosis, balancing his health and his demanding film career, the importance of community and support along with his mental health and resilience.    Like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredNew: Shop our merchandise! https://thebonnellfoundation.org/product-shop/Thanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/enRead us on Substack: https://substack.com/@lstb?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageWatch our trailer of Embracing Egypt: https://youtu.be/RYjlB25Cr9Y

What happens when you realize the life you built no longer feels aligned with who you truly are?In this inspiring episode of Reclaim Your Life, communication coach, keynote speaker, actress, and author Sabine Kvenberg shares how she stopped playing small, overcame fear and self-doubt, and completely transformed her life through courage, confidence, storytelling, and personal growth.After recognizing she could not spend decades living an unfulfilling life, Sabine left behind a corporate career in Germany and began a journey of reinvention — becoming a performer, entrepreneur, speaker, and mentor helping others reclaim their voice and step into their full potential.Together, we explore:• How to stop playing small• Building confidence and self-worth• Overcoming fear and self-doubt• Authentic communication and storytelling• The “Invisible Stage” behind confidence• Finding purpose after life transitions• Why preparation creates confidence• Personal growth, reinvention, and mindset shifts• The FEAR Flip Method for moving through fearOne of the most powerful insights from this conversation:Confidence is built long before anyone sees the result.This episode is especially meaningful for women navigating burnout, identity loss, emotional healing, divorce, career changes, or major life transitions.If you've ever wondered:“Is this really my life?”“What's next for me?”“How do I become more confident?”“How do I stop holding myself back?”…this conversation is for you.

What does it mean to truly live with intention? In this deeply moving episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, I sit down with Diana von Welanetz Wentworth—New York Times bestselling author, speaker, life coach, media personality, former celebrity chef, and co-founder of The Inside Edge, a transformational community that hosted voices like Louise Hay, Ram Dass, Jack Canfield, and Mark Victor Hansen. At 85 years old, Diana radiates wisdom, presence, creativity, and joy in a way that feels both grounding and expansive. She describes herself as someone who is not winding down, but "composing the most luminous chapter of all." And after this conversation… I believe you'll feel that too. Together, we talk about: ✨ Why listening may be one of the greatest forms of love ✨ Meditation, attention, and learning to quiet the noise ✨ Grief, resilience, and walking back into the light after loss ✨ Creativity, curiosity, and expecting magic always ✨ How to live a meaningful life at every age ✨ Trusting your inner voice and absorbing the beauty around you Diana also shares her newest endeavor, Your Life as a Work of Art, a beautiful Substack series exploring how we compose our days, curate meaning, and leave something lasting behind. This conversation is gentle, profound, and deeply nourishing for the soul. If you've been craving wisdom, peace, encouragement, or simply a reminder to slow down and truly live—this episode is for you.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What happens when suffering enters a new season of life? How do we face aging, grief, limitation, and uncertainty without surrendering our sense of purpose?In the latest Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, the married philosophers return for another stimulating dialogue exploring suffering, aging, calling, and the search for meaning. Beginning with the Serenity Prayer and the Stoic distinction between what we can and cannot control, the conversation moves into deeper questions about suffering as a source of growth, the temptation to “give up” too early in life, and the challenge of remaining fully engaged with one's purpose.Abigail reflects on resisting cultural narratives of decline, particularly those imposed on women, while sharing her thoughts on aging, neuropathy, resilience, and refusing to “die before you're dead.” Jerry connects these reflections to themes from God: An Autobiography, including the idea that “suffering is the law of growth in the universe.”The discussion also explores antisemitism, historical responsibility, Aristotle's vision of human flourishing, the story of David and Goliath, and the question of what it means to live in alignment with one's deepest calling.This is a rich and personal conversation about suffering, purpose, spiritual courage, and remaining fully alive on the timeline of human history.Whether you are navigating grief, searching for meaning, or trying to discern what still has your name on it, Episode 284 offers a thoughtful and deeply human exploration of the courage required to keep living fully. Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Natalie Miller, writer, creator of Eat, Stay, Wheel, and disability advocate, joins Radio Maine to share how she is redefining what it means to live fully and visibly. With a background in corporate leadership and more than two decades in Maine, Miller reflects on how a breast cancer diagnosis and lifelong mobility challenges reshaped her perspective—leading her to create a platform that celebrates accessibility, adventure, and everyday joy. Through adaptive sports, storytelling, and creative expression—from painting on cardboard to documenting life's “soundtracks”—she invites others to expand how they see possibility. Rooted in coastal Maine and inspired by community, Miller's work encourages small shifts in perspective that can open the door to meaningful experiences—whether on a mountain, in the ocean, or just outside your door.

Send us Fan Mail There is a particular kind of exhaustion that has nothing to do with how many hours you worked this week. It is the exhaustion of performing a version of yourself that is not quite true. Of leading well on the outside while something quieter inside wonders how long you can keep it up. Kurt Bush has been there. A decade in manufacturing, seven years in pastoral ministry, his own very real experience of imposter syndrome throughout, and then a moment with a coach that changed everything. Today he is a certified Internal Family Systems practitioner, trauma-informed coach, co-founder of Brimstone Coaching Group, and co-author of Live Fully, Lead Authentically: The Surprising Link Between Self-Awareness and Your Impact. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Kurt and host Avik Chakraborty go deep on what it actually costs to keep performing a false self, why imposter syndrome is never really about competence, and what self-reflection as a daily practice can do for leaders who are tired of white-knuckling their lives. About the Guest: Kurt Bush is a certified Internal Family Systems practitioner, trauma-informed leadership coach, and co-founder of Brimstone Coaching Group. With a career spanning corporate manufacturing, pastoral ministry, and leadership coaching, Kurt helps leaders remove the interior barriers that keep them from showing up as who they actually are. He is co-author of the book Live Fully, Lead Authentically: The Surprising Link Between Self-Awareness and Your Impact, and co-host of the Brimstone Coaching Podcast alongside his partner Chris Godfredsen. Brimstone Coaching Group works with individual leaders, teams, and organizations using the framework: Encounter + Reflection = Transformation. Key Takeaways: Most leaders are surviving, not thriving. And the culture around them actively rewards that. Learning to distinguish between the two is the beginning of real change. Slowing down is not weakness. It is the secret sauce. The myth that reflection means falling behind is one of the costliest things leaders carry, and they often do not even realize they believe it. Imposter syndrome is never really about competence. It is an identity conversation. Kurt draws a crucial distinction between the fear of being found out, where you are still in the driver's seat, and the deeper fear of not belonging, where you feel like an accidental passenger in your own life. Results alone will not fix imposter syndrome. The most successful leaders still carry it. Until the identity underneath shifts, external achievement cannot touch it. Living and leading cannot be compartmentalized. We each have one self. The work we do on who we are in life shows up in how we lead, and the way we lead shapes who we become. They cannot be split. Self-compassion is not optional in transformation. Growth is not linear. Old patterns return under pressure. What keeps people in the work is not willpower but a gentleness toward themselves when they slip. Ten to fifteen minutes of honest daily reflection can change everything. Start with what you regret from today. Those moments of regret are indicators of something in you that is asking for attention.

Bill Perkins is a hedge fund manager, film producer, high-stakes poker player, and bestselling author of Die With Zero. Known for his unconventional philosophy on money and life, Bill challenges the traditional approach to saving and wealth-building by emphasizing fulfillment, intentional living, and maximizing life experiences. His perspective blends financial acumen with a deep focus on living a rich, meaningful life—not just accumulating wealth. On this episode we talk about: Bill's early journey from a struggling clerk to hedge fund manager The mindset shift that helped him believe wealth was possible Why money is a tool—not the end goal The concept of “memory dividends” and maximizing life experiences How to balance saving, investing, and actually enjoying your life Top 3 Takeaways Money is only valuable when it's used to create meaningful life experiences—don't confuse wealth accumulation with fulfillment. “Memory dividends” compound over time, making experiences often more valuable than delayed consumption. You should align your spending and saving with different life stages—what you value (and can physically enjoy) changes over time. Notable Quotes "The money is just a tool for the life that you want." "If you're not in the arena, you have no chance." "When's the party? What are you saving all this money for?"

"Living Fully Through Understanding Life and Death," Dharma Talk by Rev. Jieun

After losing his mother just seven months ago, Jermaine Ee turned grief into purpose by building HeirLight, a modern estate‑planning app designed to help families navigate wills, directives, and end‑of‑life clarity without fear or confusion. In this powerful conversation, John and Jermaine explore how loss can sharpen our sense of meaning, reshape our priorities, and inspire us to live more intentionally. Jermaine shares the deeply personal story behind AirLight, his experience running his mother's shipping container business, and the cultural and generational barriers that keep families from planning ahead. The conversation dives into legacy, money habits, meditation, travel, and the emotional work of becoming the person you want to be remembered as. In this episode we discuss: How grief can become a catalyst for clarity and purpose Why estate planning is really about living, not dying Breaking generational money patterns and "autopilot saving" Writing your own eulogy as a compass for intentional living Meditation, presence, and staying grounded while building a company Travel, relationships, and choosing a life you don't want to escape The tension between ambition, caregiving, and contentment What it means to live fully for the people who can't anymore If you're navigating loss, rethinking your priorities, or trying to build a life aligned with your values, this episode will stay with you.  The ful video veriuso is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GKSnGLefEY

Today as we cover chapter 9 of my book The Sober Shift I want to shift this fear for you and ask you to ask yourself the question: what is alcohol making me miss out on? For me and so many women, the realities of what we lost to alcohol only became clear in sobriety. Trust me, there are incredible experiences on the other side. Community makes all the difference.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
