Romans 12:9 calls believers to “let love be without hypocrisy.” This message explored how genuine Christian love is more than kindness, emotion, or outward action - it is sacrificial, sincere, and rooted in the example of Jesus Christ. We're called examine our motives, move beyond convenient or performative love, and reflect the selfless love of Christ in genuine ways.

In this section of scripture, Paul introduces the action of love without hypocrisy.  Without God's law defining law and its application, love has no meaning.

Today, Jay Shetty welcomes back Esther Perel to unpack a growing tension in modern relationships: in a world more connected than ever, why so many people feel deeply disconnected. Esther reframes dating struggles as something deeper than love itself, pointing to a broader loss of real-life social practice. Without the everyday interactions that once taught us how to approach, connect, and handle rejection, dating now feels like a high-stakes performance instead of a natural progression. What was once built through play, curiosity, and gradual connection has been compressed into a single moment of pressure, turning love into something overwhelming rather than something we can explore. Jay and Esther explore the illusion of connection in the digital age, where texting replaces talking and screens replace presence. Esther explains how this disembodied way of relating strips away the elements that create real intimacy, like eye contact, tone of voice, touch, and shared energy. While it can feel like we are communicating more, we are often losing depth, nuance, and emotional resonance. This shift has shaped a culture that avoids friction and discomfort, yet still feels more anxious, lonely, and exhausted. In trying to make relationships easier and more efficient, we may be losing the very experiences that give them meaning. In this episode you'll learn: How to Build Real Connection Offline How to Turn Dating Into Discovery, Not Pressure How to Be More Curious Instead of Judgmental How to Create Attraction Through Presence Not Perfection How to Ask for What You Truly Need How to Build Trust in Small, Consistent Moments How to Balance Independence and Interdependence How to Stay Open to Love Without a Checklist If there’s one thing to hold onto, it’s this: nothing about love is broken, you’re just being asked to approach it differently. The world may have made connection feel more complicated, but at its core, it still comes back to showing up, being present, and allowing yourself to be seen without needing to get everything right.

Most of us desire to be loved. To give love. To connect. But is love something even greater than what we've read about, seen in movies, and think it should be? Is it something that we can become? My name is Karen Cheong, and in this episode of Mastering Your World Through Frequencies, we're discussing what love is, how the true emanation of love is so different from what we think we know, and how we can embody love without all the human distortions of power, control and neediness, and shift into the joyfulness of who we truly can be. The Group Frequency Calibration® (GFC) I created specifically to accompany this episode will help you begin to release the distortions that keep you separated from that expansive Source love. Without releasing these distortions, love can stay in the realm of need, scarcity, yearning and feeling like you're not enough.

Step into a raw, courageous, and heart-opening conversation with Sean Clayton and Sophia Powe, partners in life, love, and deep inner work, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Together, they share a lived journey of trauma, healing, accountability, and the sacred devotion required to move from soulmates shaped by wounds into a wholemate partnership rooted in truth. Sophia, an award-winning Storyteller and former CMO, and Sean, a Miracle Code Abundance Architect, open the conversation vulnerably about their nonlinear love story, including betrayal, separation, profound personal reckoning, and the choice to stop bypassing pain and finally feel what had been avoided for decades. Their relationship became the crucible that forced each of them to confront inner child wounds, people-pleasing, shame, guilt, and the survival strategies that once kept them safe, but no longer served. We explore how real intimacy is built not through chemistry or spiritual language, but through nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and the willingness to stay with discomfort rather than manipulate outcomes. Sean shares how learning to feel sadness, anger, and fear in his body freed him from performance and strategy. Sophia reflects on reclaiming self-worth, being willing to be seen, and choosing herself without abandoning love. We also talk about: -Moving from rolemate and soulmate patterns into wholemate partnership -Trauma bonding versus conscious, embodied intimacy -Inner child healing and staying present with difficult emotions -Ending spiritual bypassing and integrating shadows -Boundaries, self-responsibility, and asking for help -Nervous system regulation in relationship conflict -Choosing love without abandoning the self -Marriage as a sacred container for growth, not avoidance This episode is an extraordinarily powerful reminder that the work works. That love deepens when we stop running from ourselves. And that wholeness within is what makes true intimacy possible with another.

Series - Romans: Guilt Grace & Gratitude pt. 89 Text - 12:9 by Nick Neves, pastor | Lord's Day Morning | 4.5.26

What happens when a plane crash gives you a second chance at life — and you decide to spend it helping lawyers build careers they actually love?In this episode of The Free Lawyer®, Gary Miles sits down with Steve Fretzin, one of the most respected business development coaches in the legal profession. Over nearly two decades, Steve has helped hundreds of attorneys master the art of growing their practices without ever feeling like salespeople — through his signature Sales-Free Selling methodology and his Be That Lawyer brand.Gary and Steve dive deep into why most lawyers struggle with business development, how the legal industry is shifting in the age of AI and remote work, and why building your own personal brand isn't optional anymore — it's survival. They also explore the power of coaching, the difference between lawyers who invest in their growth and those who try to go it alone, and what it really means to have both a successful practice and a life you enjoy.If you've ever felt stuck waiting for referrals, uncomfortable with the idea of "selling," or trapped by the very success you've built, this conversation is for you.KEY TAKEAWAYSLife is too short to wait for a wake-up call. Steve's plane crash survival story is a powerful reminder — don't wait for a crisis to start building the career and life you want.Business development doesn't have to feel like selling. Steve's Sales-Free Selling system helps lawyers build business through trust, relationships, and a consultative approach — not chest-thumping or pitching."Enjoy the swing." Borrowing a lesson from his golf pro, Steve reframes business development as something lawyers can actually enjoy — building genuine connections and earning trust — rather than dreading it.You are "You, Inc." Every lawyer is an independent business. Building your own personal brand protects your career, attracts better clients, and gives you leverage no matter what changes around you.Ask your best clients what makes you different. Go to 3-4 long-term clients and simply ask them why they've stayed. Their answers may reveal your true differentiator.ABOUT STEVE FRETZINSteve Fretzin is a plane crash survivor, five-time bestselling author, and premier business development coach for attorneys. His Sales-Free Selling methodology has helped hundreds of lawyers build sustainable books of business.

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.I Love My Wife… But I Struggle to Show It. Why?Chris has been married 26 years. He works on the road. He says he loves his wife… but she doesn't feel it. She's doing the self-growth, learning attachment styles, sending him resources — and he's stuck in the same pattern: avoid conflict, avoid hard conversations, “I'll get to it,” then never gets to it.Cass calls it out: you're not “dismissive avoidant.”You're afraid of conflict. You're afraid of not being good enough. And you're using labels as an excuse to keep avoiding the work.This episode breaks down:Why “dismissive avoidant” is often a symptom, not your identityThe real label: conflict-avoidant (learned avoidance)Why your wife researching you is a GOOD sign (she still wants you)Why “I love you” doesn't matter if she can't FEEL itHow to rebuild connection while you're on the road: call for the good stuff, then learn to hold the hard stuffWhy over-explaining turns into defensiveness (and kills intimacy)The difference between wanting change and FOLLOWING THROUGHIf your wife still wants you… stop acting like you've got time.Go love her like a man who's about to lose her.

Love without layers looks like Jesus knowing us fully, yet holding nothing back and still choosing to lay down his life for us. That's the kind of love he invites us into.

"The universe is impartial. The space inside you is infinite. The more you use it, the more it produces."In this episode of The Coffee Buzz, we sit with Verse Five of the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell translation). We explore the unsettling but ultimately freeing image of the "straw dog"—a ritual object that is revered when needed and released when its purpose is served.If you've ever felt exhausted by the project of trying to "earn" the universe's favor, or if you've felt trapped by a love that comes with too many conditions, this verse offers a different way forward.The Ritual of the Straw Dog: Why an impartial universe is actually a gift.Love Without a Cage: How the Master's impartiality is the fullest expression of love.The Bellows: Learning to breathe out so that you can receive again.The Danger of Talking: Why the conversation is never the silence on the other side of it.Holding the Center: Finding the stillness inside the turning wheel."The space between heaven and earth is like a bellows. It is empty and yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces; the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center."

Love Without HypocrisyLoving Upward and OutwardYT: https://youtu.be/XrbbhuIe8OQ?si=UnVlSIwNC-3BDwwt

Romans 12:9-13

A pastor, a drug dealer, a dark alley—and a moment that proved no one is beyond the reach of God's love.

At nine years old, Sanya Bari made a promise that would shape her life: she would figure out how to love without getting hurt. After a painful childhood rejection, she began reshaping herself to meet everyone else's needs, becoming what she calls a “chameleon” while losing connection with her own identity. Though she later built a life that looked successful on the outside, unresolved trauma left her feeling empty and emotionally frozen. In this episode, the relationship trauma therapist shares how hitting a breaking point led her to develop the “Love Clarity Method,” helping high-achieving individuals untangle past wounds, understand the difference between love that harms and love that heals, and return to a grounded, conscious connection with themselves and others.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, we're talking about a shift so many ambitious women are feeling right now: leaving traditional corporate paths and building careers that actually feel good to live. My guest is Brianna Doe, CEO of Verbatim and a creator economy strategist who has seen both sides up close, from corporate marketing rooms to creators building real businesses online. We unpack what modern professionalism really looks like today, why so many women are rewriting success, and how to build a career that aligns with your life instead of draining it. Brianna shares the mindset shifts behind a corporate exit, how to avoid burnout while staying ambitious, and what it takes to build sustainable success as a creator or entrepreneur. We also dive into creator economy strategy, what makes a creator attractive to brands, the biggest mistakes creators make when pitching partnerships, and how to start building multiple income streams before you make the leap.

Is love with rules really love? Probably not. And yet so many of us have only felt conditional love. Having her first daughter taught adoptee Jenn love without rules. Unconditional love as a felt experience. Not an idea. Listen in as we go deep on feeling loved and whole... Jenn works in adoption. Here's a bit about her from her agency's website: Jenn has been working with children and their families for almost thirty years, with eighteen of those years spent focusing on the needs of children in the foster care system and on providing adoption-related services. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Jenn spent several years as a foster parent and worked in a residential program for adolescent girls. Jenn then returned to school, earned a Master's degree in Counseling, and spent fourteen years working for Deschutes County Behavioral Health as a therapist on the school-based health clinics team. A few months ago, Jenn transitioned to a school counselor position so she can spend summers working at her favorite camp. As an adult adoptee herself, Jenn believes that every child deserves a loving, stable, forever home and she works diligently to ensure that the families who adopt through Choice Adoptions understand this responsibility. Her superpower is the “ability to micro-edit written work,” and she uses this skill to ensure that the home studies, post-placement reports, and adoption profile books that represent Choice families are of the highest quality possible. She loves meeting new families when she writes their home studies and visiting them once their adopted child arrives home. When she is not working, Jenn enjoys caring for indoor and outdoor plants, hiking, searching for waterfalls, playing tennis, riding her bike, listening to Sea Shanties, browsing antique stores, and spending time with her husband and five (mostly grown) children. https://www.choiceadoptions.org/ https://www.facebook.com/choiceadoptions/ https://www.instagram.com/choiceadoptions/ Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.

Nique and Ress discuss long-distance relationships, sharing personal experiences and arguing they can be a “cheat code” for people who feel boxed in by their local dating pool, but are not for the weak, avoidant, or “chronically unserious.” They address the bad reputation of long-distance dating (loneliness, cost, feeling like an “emotional pen pal”) and emphasize dating for compatibility over proximity.

This week, we look at a parable where Jesus shows what true love looks like. It's a conscious decision to step toward someone in need and place dignity and compassion at the center. Together, we'll see how love never walks past human suffering.

Romans 12:9–10 reminds us that true worship is expressed through sincere, selfless love. This week, we'll discover how genuine love—free from hypocrisy—reflects Christ and transforms relationships within the church and beyond.Main Idea:Worship is expressed in sincere, selfless love for others.Application:Let love be genuine—honor one another above yourself.Speaker: Lead Pastor Antonio Thomas | Romans 12:9–10Give Online:https://thebridgechurch.org/give/

If you have anxious attachment, this episode is for you..You might not be double-texting.You might not be chasing in obvious ways. You might even look secure on the outside..And yet… you're still not being chosen..In this episode, I'm breaking down the subtle, unconscious ways people with anxious attachment are still chasing love without realising it - and why simply “acting secure” doesn't change your relationship outcomes..I share my own personal stories, client patterns, and the six chasing archetypes I see over and over again in people who want love, stability, and commitment - but keep recreating the same painful dynamics..We cover: • The difference between secure behaviour and anxious survival strategies • How anxious attachment shows up as fixing, proving, pleasing, performing, waiting, or hyper-independence • Why you can stop chasing on the surface and still sabotage love underneath • How self-concept and subconscious beliefs determine who chooses you • Why being “low maintenance”, overly understanding, or hyper-independent is still chasing• How these patterns keep recreating partners who don't fully choose you.If you've ever thought: “Why am I still not chosen even though I'm doing everything right?”.This episode will help you see exactly what's happening - clearly, honestly, and without blame..Find out your dominant chasing archetypeMost people don't just have one - but there is usually one that runs the show underneath..

We're always looking for ways to save you all money, and with Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's so easy to go over budget, that is, if you even had one anyway. For those trying to dial back a little on spending this year, we're sharing a few ways to celebrate Valentine's Day without having to take out that credit card.    Links: Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.  Valentine's Day often comes with a lot of pressure—lavish dinners, expensive gifts, and grand gestures that can leave your wallet feeling less than romantic. But here's the truth: love doesn't have to come with a price tag. In fact, some of the most meaningful ways to show you care cost absolutely nothing. If you're looking to celebrate without swiping your credit card or maybe minimizing its use, here are five heartfelt ideas that prove thoughtfulness beats extravagance every time.   The Power of Personal Touch  Nothing says “I love you” quite like words straight from the heart. Instead of buying a pricey card, write a heartfelt letter or even a poem. Share your favorite memories, what you appreciate most about your partner, and your hopes for the future. Often it's easy to splurge on candies or flowers, but if you're cutting back on buying things this year, making something from the heart can be just as nice.    Trying something like a handwritten note feels personal and timeless—something they can treasure for years. Besides a handwritten letter or note, crafting something unique from scratch can be just as meaningful. For the creative folks, browse through ideas online from a site like Pinterest where you'll find plenty of thoughtful homemade Valentine's crafts and gifts for your special someone.   Quality Time Over Price Tags  Sometimes, the best gift is your undivided attention. Plan a tech-free evening where you both disconnect from screens and focus on each other. Screens are often distractions from the present moment, robbing us of the true value that comes with being together.   Make the holiday more special by offering your undivided attention and just spending time together. If you're unsure what to do, try an idea like cooking a meal together using what you already have in the pantry. You could also take a walk under the stars and talk about your dreams, or you might enjoy dusting off a board game or card deck for some friendly competition. Quality time strengthens emotional bonds and creates lasting memories—no receipt required.   Acts of Service Speak Volumes Love isn't just about words; it's about actions. Doing something that makes your partner's life easier can be incredibly romantic.   There are many times in life when acts of service are the perfect gift. For those who are busy and don't have time to tackle common daily tasks, they can build up and cause much uneasiness or stress. For many loved ones this Valentine's Day, something simple like an act of service might just be the perfect gift they'd been hoping for.     One idea could be to make your significant other breakfast in bed. You could tackle a chore they've been dreading or even organize a space they use often, like their desk or closet. To up the stakes and gain points, pick one task the night before and surprise them by morning.   Acts of service are beautiful gifts because they show thoughtfulness and effort, which often means more than any store-bought gift.   Create Something Together  Shared creativity can be a powerful bonding experience. Instead of buying something, make something together. If you know your significant other is crafty and values building or creating, this may be the perfect Valentine's Day gift.    You could curate a playlist of songs that remind you of each other. You might enjoy baking cookies or trying a new recipe together or you could even start a photo album or scrapbook of your favorite moments. Collaborative projects create fun, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment—plus, you'll have a keepsake to look back on.   Memory-Making Experiences Experiences often outshine material gifts. Plan a free adventure that gets you out of your routine. Depending on where you live, this option might be teeming with possibilities.    If the weather is good, go for a nature walk or hike in a local park. Check out free museum days or community events going on in the area. If you'd prefer not to leave the house, have a picnic at home or in your backyard with homemade snacks. Shared experiences deepen your connection, give you stories to tell for years to come, and will be worth their weight in memories.    Love isn't measured in dollars—it's measured in effort, thoughtfulness, and time. This Valentine's Day, skip the stress of overspending and focus on what really matters: making your partner feel valued and appreciated. Try one (or all) of these ideas and see how meaningful a no-cost celebration can be.   Have a budget-friendly Valentine's idea not mentioned in this tip? Go ahead and share it with your family, friends, or on social media—you might inspire someone else to celebrate love without breaking the bank.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Self-love isn't about becoming selfish. And it's not about disappearing for everyone else either. It's about staying with yourself in the moments where you usually override, explain, or push through. In this episode of Elevate Your Mind, Rebecca talks about self-love as it actually shows up in real life. In your body. In your decisions. In your relationships. If you're good at loving others and ready to include yourself in that equation, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore one of the Course's most challenging and liberating teachings: love without sacrifice. Drawing especially from Chapter 15 of the Text, this conversation looks at how many of our relationships are quietly shaped by what the Course calls demands for sacrifice. We often believe that love means giving things up for one another—but according to the Course, this pattern can lead to resentment, guilt, hidden anger, and a cycle that keeps both people trapped. Together, Emily and Robert unpack: How we unconsciously equate love with sacrifice Why sacrifice inevitably breeds resentment and guilt How guilt becomes the hidden currency in our relationships Why we demand that others not leave us—and what that costs us How this dynamic shows up in real relationships, including a moving story from the Circle community The Course's radical alternative: releasing others from our demands so that both can be free The episode closes with a powerful practice from A Course in Miracles for releasing loved ones from our demands and stepping into relationships grounded in forgiveness rather than control. If you've ever felt burdened by your relationships—or sensed that something called "love" didn't actually feel very loving—this conversation offers a deeply hopeful way forward. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

People are not just seeking better relationships; they're seeking new possibilities of relating. Spiritual Life Coaching assists people to create relationships rooted in self-trust and motional safety, starting with the relationship they have with themselves. Safe Space. Small steps. Not alone

In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Linda Li for a raw, honest conversation about love, dating, and why so many people keep repeating the same relationship patterns. We explore why the very traits that attract us to someone often become the things that trigger us later, how unrealistic expectations sabotage long-term love, and why choosing a partner is less about finding “the one” and more about becoming the person who can sustain a healthy relationship. Linda shares insights from her experience going on 150 first dates, what dating apps really are (and aren't), and how desperation, timelines, and romantic fantasies quietly push love away. We also talk about embodiment, boundaries, masculine and feminine energy, and why building a full life first is the fastest way to attract the right partner. This episode is for anyone who: Feels stuck repeating the same dating patterns Is tired of chasing love or settling out of fear Wants a grounded, mature perspective on modern dating Is ready to choose love from wholeness, not lack If you've ever thought, “Why does this keep happening to me?” — this conversation will change how you see relationships forever.

Being independent in a relationship doesn't mean being distant, cold, or emotionally unavailable. It means knowing who you are, honoring your own needs, and choosing your partner from a place of fullness—not fear.In this episode, I'm talking about what independence in a relationship actually looks like, the difference between healthy independence and emotional walls, why having your own life makes love stronger, and how to stay grounded in yourself while still building a future with someone else.If you've ever worried that being independent would make you “too much” or “too distant,” this episode is your reminder that the healthiest relationships are built by two whole people—choosing each other every day.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: https://instagram.com/oliviaeveshaboTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@oliviaeveshaboPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-you-from-eve/id1544519585YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oliviaeveshaboSPONSORS ✨Mint MobileQuit overspending on wireless with 50% off Unlimited Premium wireless.Plans start at $15/month at https://mintmobile.com/fromeveAirDoctorGet cleaner air in your home with up to $300 off.Visit https://airdoctorpro.com and use code FROMEVERulaAffordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance.Get started at https://www.rula.com/fromeveRellaSupport your cycle and hormones naturally.Shop at https://getrella.com and use code FROMEVEOlive & JuneSalon-quality nails at home.Get 20% off your first system at https://oliveandjune.com/FROMEVEFableticsActivewear you'll actually want to live in.Shop at https://fabletics.com/fromeveFÜMA natural way to reduce cravings and support better habits.Try it at https://tryfum.com/FROMEVECowboy ColostrumDaily gut + immune support.Shop at https://cowboycolostrum.com with code FROMEVESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marvin Wickware came on to talk about his lecture from the Democracy in Tension summit and his book Loving Through Enmity, and we got into some really beautiful and difficult territory. Marvin's story is powerful - raised by an interracial couple in 1980s Indiana who were treated terribly by churches, converted through evangelical campus ministry, ended up at Union studying with James Cone, and that's where his faith, his values, and his intellectual work all clicked together. We talked about need-based love as an ethical framework, how both democracy and Christianity are aspirational projects that we're always falling short of, and how to navigate the gap between ideals and reality without either abandoning the dream or using it to mask our failures. Marvin shared about being a black theologian in predominantly white mainline spaces, the importance of having people on your side who can tell you you're not crazy, and how to practice love toward enemies without being naive about power and harm. It's the kind of conversation that makes you think differently about what love actually requires of us in this political moment. ⁠You can get access to Dr. Wickware's lecture and the entire Democracy in Tension series here.

"Your feelings aren't the problem. They're the guidance." What if the real reason relationships hurt so much isn't who you're with, but how you relate to yourself? In this profound and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Margaret Paul, bestselling author and creator of Inner Bonding, joins Kute Blackson to dismantle some of the most common  and damaging myths about love, relationships, self-worth, and responsibility. This episode goes far beyond romantic relationships. It dives into the invisible emotional systems we carry into marriage, parenting, friendships, spirituality, and even our sense of purpose. You'll discover why chemistry is often confused with love, why "being nice" can actually be self-betrayal, and how many of us unknowingly abandon ourselves; then, wonder why relationships feel exhausting, painful, or empty. Timestamps (00:02:30) - What a healthy relationship really is (getting love vs. sharing love) (00:05:18) - Why we're attracted to the wrong people (00:08:26) - Emotional responsibility in relationships (00:11:56) - Self-care vs. true self-love (00:14:59) - What the inner child actually is (00:19:54) - How to work with anger, desire, and intense emotions (00:28:49) - Perfectionism, control, and false beliefs (00:37:29) - Relationship systems that sabotage love (pull,resist, compliance) (00:40:35) - How self-betrayal affects health and vitality (00:42:11) - Discovering if relationships heal after infidelity (00:45:07) - "I did nothing wrong" and hidden dynamics (00:46:32) - Why compliance is not love Questions I Ask What actually defines a healthy relationship? Why do we keep choosing the same kind of partner even when it hurts? If no one is responsible for our happiness, what is our responsibility to each other in love? Can relationships truly recover from infidelity? And how?  How do parents raise emotionally healthy children without creating dependence? Is compliance really a form of control? What advice would you give your younger self if you could start again? In This Episode, You'll Learn… Why love alone isn't enough to make a relationship work The difference between sharing love and needing it Why chemistry can feel powerful and still be destructive How self-abandonment silently sabotages intimacy Why being "nice" and compliant kills desire What emotional responsibility really means (and what it doesn't) Whether trust can be rebuilt after betrayal How learning to love yourself changes every relationship Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.com Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com   Resources with Kute Blackson: Purpose Summit: www.purposesummit2026.com Register now!   Kute's Life changing Path to Abundance & Miracles : https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com   Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.
