If you ask someone with aphantasia to visualize an apple, a tree, or the house they grew up in, their mind draws a blank. Literally. The inability to conjure up mental images was discovered in the 1880s but only recently has been given a name and become the subject of more serious study. Aphantasia is found in approximately one percent of the population and can also affect the ability to recall sounds, touch and the sensation of movement. Some aphantasics experience their condition as a loss, while others say the freedom from being bound by visual memory allows them to live fully in the present. We talk about aphantasia and what it tells us about how our brains perceive and remember. Guests: Larissa MacFarquhar, staff writer for The New Yorker, her most recent article is titled "Some People Can't See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound" Tom Ebeyer, founder, Aphantasia Network Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Learning to release the pressure of the "shoulds" and leaning into authentic desires is not easy feat. This episode explores the courageous decision of releasing the rules and making the decision to embrace a life worth living. 

After six weeks off the air and nearly a year of wrestling with her identity, Krysta returns with a new name, new energy, and the same unfiltered truth: you don't have to fit into one clean little box. What started as a simple rebrand turned into a complete reckoning with the lie we've all been sold about who we're supposed to be. In this episode we dive into:• Why trying to separate your "professional self" from your "real self" is exhausting (and unnecessary)• The actual process of building two businesses while refusing to choose between them• How planning your minimums instead of your maximums changes everything about your week• What it really means to live in the gray area instead of chasing absolutesThe Identity Crisis Nobody Talks About• You're scrolling on Sunday evening, already feeling the scaries creep in, wondering why loving what you do doesn't make the anxiety disappear• You've built something successful but you're holding back parts of yourself because they don't fit the brand you created three years ago• The coaching skills that help your clients show up consistently are the exact ones you use to build systems for your business (but you've convinced yourself those are two separate worlds)• Hiring help for your creative work feels like admitting you're not actually creative—even though you'd never tell a client they shouldn't hire a nutrition coachThe Work of Becoming Multi-Dimensional• Spending months in ChatGPT, asking friends, hiring a strategist, and still judging yourself for not having the answer (spoiler: the judgment was the real block)• Realizing your life would be "pretty fucking boring" if you were just one person all the time• Writing down your actual vision instead of the one you think you should have• Moving the podcast to Sundays because that's when you're meal prepping, client planning, and doing the reset work anyway—why not have this conversation be part of that ritual?Living Without the Boxes• Three non-negotiables that keep you grounded (not three ambitious goals that make you feel behind by Tuesday)• The shift from "fresh start" to "continuation with more information"—you're not starting over, you're building on everything you've already learned• Your 18-year-old self who walked onto campus declaring she'd be a news broadcaster is still here, just doing it differently (and arguably better)• Making room for the version of you who coaches clients on habit-building AND helps founders with marketing strategy AND still gets the Sunday scariesThis conversation reminds us that growth isn't about picking one identity and perfecting it—it's about giving yourself permission to be all the versions of you that already exist. Whether you're trying to figure out how to wear multiple hats without dropping them all or you're six months into building something new while maintaining what you've already built, this episode offers the reminder that none of us are doing it perfectly. We're just learning to do it with purpose.Looking for your weekly reset moment?

  In this episode, I'm joined by Claire Buckley, who opens up about her lifelong struggle with food, emotional eating, and the constant “food noise” that shaped so much of her life. Claire talks about how she first realised her relationship with food felt different from those around her, the frustration of seeking help through traditional weight loss groups, and the deeper emotional cycle that kept her feeling stuck. She shares honestly about panic attacks, shame, and the sense of failure that came with every new attempt — and how finding the right support, along with her experience using Mounjaro, has helped her quiet the noise and begin to rebuild trust with herself. It's a powerful, relatable conversation about self-awareness, compassion, and what it really means to find peace with food.

We've all wondered it at some point — why don't some people like me? In this message from Pastor John, part of the RELATE series, we uncover a powerful truth: the reason we don't like some people — and the reason some people don't like us — is often because we threaten them in some way. God calls us to remove the threats we pose to others so we can live in peace. The Ten Commandments show us how to stop being a danger to our relationships and start being a blessing. Through the example of Jesus in Isaiah 53, we learn how He removed every threat between us and God — and how we can follow His example in our relationships today. No, we can't control other people — but with God's help, we can control ourselves. When we let Him deal with our pride, anger, rebellion, and selfishness, we become people who bring peace instead of pain. This message will help you: ✅ Identify the threats you bring into relationships ✅ Understand why others may feel threatened by you ✅ Learn to respond with humility instead of offense ✅ Build lasting, God-centered relationships

Summer Jean describes how growing up unschooled shaped her ideas of work, freedom, and value. She explains how her mother's focus on connection over control helped her develop confidence in her own sense of rightness. The episode contrasts inner conviction with productivity as a measure of worth.

As an intuitive stylist + home editor, I spend A LOT of time in people's homes and closets. This week, because of the nomadic life, I chat all about how someone like me lived over 2.5 years without my full wardrobe and the lessons gained from that. I became my own best client by editing and asking:What pieces serve me in this life and the life I'm building?What pieces no longer resonate anymore? How can I curb my own consumerism and shopping habits?How have my style preferences changed?How can I carry these lessons forward as my wardrobe evolves alongside me?To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.

Spiritual freedom is not freedom for yourself, but freedom from yourself.  As you gradually cease to strive to get what you want and avoid what you don't want, life transforms into a harmonious unfolding of the Tao, where peace and joy arise naturally from being in alignment with reality. As you cease to be bound by the personal, —you come to realize the true beauty of who you really are. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

This message will bring victory and hope. It will plant seeds of victory in your heart that will growing into glorious freedom! The post Living Without Addiction appeared first on Ryan Rufus.

Episode Introduction: In this episode, we explore how grief—often avoided, misunderstood, and pushed down—can actually become the catalyst for living fully and authentically. Dr. Michelle Petticola shares powerful insights on transforming complex grief into fuel for life's purpose. You'll discover why facing your emotions is essential, how reframing loss can shift your experience, and the hidden costs of suppressing what your heart needs to feel.     3 Main Takeaways: Surrender is the first step to transformation — Allowing emotions to flow opens the door to healing and self-discovery. Reframe grief as a measure of love — Shifting perspective transforms pain into a lasting, meaningful connection. Unprocessed grief impacts every area of life — Avoidance drains energy, creates emotional blocks, and can keep you from living true to yourself.     3 Main Topics with Timestamps, Citations, and Explanations: 1. The Power of Surrender (14:01) "You have to surrender to the experience... There's no magic pill. There is no quick formula. You have to go through the process. And it's good because when you go through the process, you transform." Explanation: Accepting and fully feeling emotions instead of resisting them prevents them from becoming trapped in the body. This openness can lead to personal breakthroughs and deeper self-awareness.     2. Reframing Loss as Love (22:32) "What if instead of looking at it that way, you look at it as your grief is a measurement of your love for this woman." Explanation: Changing the meaning you give to grief shifts the emotional experience. Viewing grief as evidence of deep love creates an empowering connection rather than a debilitating wound.     3. The Hidden Impact of Unprocessed Grief (20:24) "If you don't grieve, the emotions get stuck in your body… As soon as they start to get that relief… suddenly they have all this energy that they didn't have because… you're exhausted." Explanation: Suppressing emotions requires constant effort, which drains vitality and can manifest as physical or mental health challenges. Releasing them restores energy and emotional clarity.

Offense is inevitable, but how we respond makes all the difference. In Part 10 of Living Without Offense, Pastor Keith Battle reminds us that living offense-free isn't about pretending things don't bother us, but about learning to forgive, put up with, and pardon others with the same grace God extends to us. Discover how to walk in love that's patient, powerful, and freeing — because forgiveness isn't weakness… it's freedom.

In this powerful message, Pastor Battle challenges us to live free from offense by embracing humility, obedience, and biblical reconciliation. Drawing from God's Word, we learn that handling offense requires intentionality— whether by letting go of minor issues or addressing deeper wounds with grace and clarity. Pastor Battle unpacks practical tools like the SBI method and emphasizes the importance of forgiveness as a continual posture, not a one-time event. When private efforts fail, God calls us to seek accountability, not alliances, through spiritually mature mediators who promote healing and unity. This message is a call to maturity, urging us to stop rehearsing pain and start pursuing peace — because unresolved offense not only hurts our relationships, it hinders our spiritual growth. Now is the time to be spiritually ready and relationally restored.

Can you imagine living without money? Humans lived without money for 250,000 years, so it's not necessary for life. Money seems like an invention on par with the big ones, like fire, the wheel, writing, and language.Right off the bat, Jo shares how her life before choosing to live without money was stressful, with less freedom or free time. If you thought having more money would give you more freedom, more free time, and less stress, her experiencing the opposite may prompt you to consider the basics of human interaction. What does it mean about our lifestyles, values, and beliefs that having zero of our culture promotes having more of actually giving us what we want?In earning a doctorate in experimental science, maybe the most fundamental thing I learned is that no matter what I expect or want, nature is always right. If my theory predicts one thing but nature does something different, nature is right and my theory is wrong. Jo's experience suggests something wrong at the heart of economic theory.Anyway, you'll hear how she learned of the possibility of living without money and acted on it. You'll also hear our mutual appreciation and admiration of our living without things society teaches us we can't live without. We're not extreme. More like we're conservative and loving.Jo's page: Jolowimpact Moneyless Low Impact Living Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's a kind of ache that words don't always touch. The ache of knowing you're meant to lead… but feeling just outside the edge of your own clarity. Of rewriting the bio. Rebranding the offer. Rethinking your purpose… again… because something still doesn't feel quite right. You're not scattered or lazy or inconsistent. You're being led by a part of yourself you haven't named yet. In this first episode of The Archetypes of the Intuitive Healer series, we open a mirror into 4 soul-patterns I've witnessed again and again in gifted, sensitive, spiritually-connected women… long before they could name what they carried. These aren't trendy titles, personality traits, or aspirational identities. These are archetypal frequencies… subtle, powerful forces already shaping your voice, your choices, your resistance, your burnout, and your sacred call to lead. In this episode, we go deep into: Why “not being clear” isn't your problem and what actually is The 2AM spiral of “Why doesn't this work?”, and the soul-code underneath it 4 intuitive healer archetypes you may already be living without realizing it What happens when your medicine goes unnamed for too long How to start creating from your true frequency, not your training If you've ever said, “I just want to feel like myself in my work…”, this episode is your mirror.

May the God of Wonders Bless You!

Meet Eleanor, a mom on a mission. When her son was diagnosed with severe food allergies in 2004, Eleanor was launched into a whirlwind of support and advocacy for the food allergy community, eventually leading her to found and lead the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT). Alongside the FAACT leadership team, she provides the education, advocacy, awareness, and grassroots outreach needed for the food allergy community through programming available to all. Tune in to hear the story behind Eleanor's incredible efforts and successes and her commitment to inclusivity that drives everything she does.To learn more about FAACT, their amazing resources, and Camp TAG visit: https://www.foodallergyawareness.org/Follow on social media @faactnewsEleanor Garrow-Holding has worked, educated, and advocated in the food allergy community since 2004. She was inspired to start this work after her son, Thomas, was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies to tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and sesame; eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) triggered by milk and wheat; asthma; and environmental allergies. In December 2015, Thomas had a food challenge with wheat and was no longer IgE-allergic to wheat. After a 3-month trial with wheat and another 3-month trial with milk (post wheat) in his diet and upper endoscopies, he has also outgrown the wheat and milk triggers for EoE and is in remission from EoE as of July 2016. Thomas outgrew his peanut allergy in 2016 at age thirteen. In October 2019, at age sixteen, Thomas outgrew almond, sesame, and brazil nut and continues to avoid walnut, cashew, pecan, hazelnut, and pistachio.As CEO of the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT), Eleanor provides leadership, development, and implementation for all of FAACT's initiatives and programs, including Camp TAG (The Allergy Gang) – a summer camp for children with food allergies and their siblings that Eleanor founded in 2009. Eleanor has a Bachelor of Healthcare Administration degree from Lewis University in Romeoville, IL, and worked in hospital management for 15 years in Chicago and suburban Chicago prior to working in the nonprofit sector.After Thomas was diagnosed in 2004, Eleanor established a food allergy support group in a southwest Chicago suburb, Parents of Children Having Allergies (POCHA) of Will County, focusing on education and advocacy; chaired the FAAN Walk for Food Allergy in Chicago in 2007 and 2008; was awarded the FAAN Muriel C. Furlong Award for Community Service in 2008; and advocated in the Illinois state legislature on food allergy and Eosinophilic Disorders (EGID, EoE) issues. Thanks to the efforts of Eleanor and other patient advocates, legislation to ensure insurance coverage for elemental formulas was signed into law in 2007 and legislation establishing food allergy management guidelines for Illinois schools was signed into law in 2009.Eleanor joined the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network™ (FAAN) in 2009 as Vice President of Education and Outreach, where she oversaw educational initiatives, all food allergy conferences, the Teen Summit, Camp TAG (The Allergy Gang) now under FAACT's umbrella, a Teen Advisory Group, support group development, and more. She advocated for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Management Act (FAAMA) in Washington, DC, with her son Thomas as part of FAAN's Kids Congress on Capitol Hill and also advocated on Capitol Hill for the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act.

Offense is a trap designed to steal your peace, joy, and purpose — but you don't have to live stuck in the “rage cage” of hurt and disappointment. In this powerful message, Pastor Keith Battle reminds us that living without offense isn't weakness — it's spiritual strength and freedom. Learn how to slow down anger, manage your emotions with wisdom, and avoid making impulsive decisions that create lasting damage. Through practical and biblical insight, discover how to break free from offense by practicing three spiritual disciplines: looking ahead to God's promises, looking up for divine strength, and looking around to recognize the blessings still present in your life. Don't let the enemy's bait keep you rehearsing pain — choose peace, healing, and the abundant life Jesus died to give you.

In today's episode, I unpack how releasing attachment to outcomes, validation, and status can clear the path to lasting fulfillment. I share why simplicity isn't about doing less, but about doing what matters with clarity and intention. When we let go of the need to impress, we reclaim energy to innovate, connect, and serve at a higher level. I explore how to reframe goals through the lens of purpose, apply the AAA strategy of alignment, action, and adjustment, and shift from chasing to attracting. Success becomes a byproduct of gratitude, humility, and consistent practice, not a reward for striving or comparison. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com

Would you sell your car, live without plumbing and electricity, and shower at the gym daily to build a rental portfolio? Now, would you do it while having one of the most prestigious jobs on the planet? If you said yes to both, you might as well be Gary Striewski, rental property investor, DIY home renovator, and, yes, host of SportsCenter. Wait… the host of SportsCenter used a bucket as a bathroom while renovating? Yep, but he's got a good reason for going through the struggle. Working at SportsCenter has always been Gary's dream job, but when 2020 hit, he knew he needed an alternative income stream. Real estate seemed like the obvious answer, but without much savings and only a car to his name he didn't have many options to invest. So what did he do? Sold his car, downgraded significantly, and picked up a condo for $20,000 down. Fast forward a few years—Gary has turned that first condo into a full real estate portfolio, including a private ski house that's soon to be a short-term rental. He's had evictions, DIY renovations where he lived without plumbing for months, and closings that didn't go as planned, but with persistence and grit, he's become an expert investor. Follow Gary's tenacity, and you can, too! In This Episode We Cover: How Gary turned a $20,000 down payment into ten rental units and a real estate portfolio Gary's “value-add” renovation that 99% of people would never do themselves A huge tenant mistake Gary made that will cost you if you repeat it Why you should constantly evaluate selling your rentals, even if they're performing well Whether or not condos are worth it as starter real estate investments  Sports stars who (unsurprisingly) love real estate investing And So Much More!
