Be Still & Be Loved is a guided Scripture meditation designed to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and rest in God's presence. Whether you're beginning your day, taking a midday pause, or preparing for sleep, this space invites you to breathe deeply and receive His peace. Take a few moments to settle into a comfortable position. If you're able, lie down. If not, find a seat where you can rest without distraction. As you begin to notice your breath, pay attention to how your state of being starts to shift. Every inhale and exhale is a reminder that God is near, holding you with His steady love. In this guided meditation, you'll reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:7: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." Though our bodies are fragile, they carry something infinitely valuable—God's presence. He is our greatest treasure, and He treasures every part of us, including our minds. Together we'll quiet the noise, fix our thoughts on what is excellent, noble, and true, and rest in the One who is making us new—body, mind, and spirit. Breathe deeply. You are held. You are loved. You are His treasure. Ready to Go Deeper?

Weekly? Monthly?Is it possible to say someone matters, and consider them always a part of your life, but marginalize and overlook them along the way? I believe it is. I know it.God deserves so much better. And so does my wife. Join me as we explore the kind of daily planning and focus that can put first things (first People), first, and that can actually bring stronger relationships and greater potential into every other endeavor of your day, week, and life.
We need to talk about what you actually believe about love. Not what you think you believe, what's quietly running the show underneath all of it. Because I've watched so many women do the work, read the books, listen to all the podcasts (maybe even this one), and still stay stuck. And a lot of the time? It comes down to the beliefs they've never once questioned.After a decade of doing this work, coaching hundreds of women, and being in my own healthy marriage, I'm sharing the five relationship beliefs I'm doubling down on, even the ones that are going to make some of you want to unfollow me. I'm okay with that.Inside this episode:Why your soulmate doesn't exist yet and why that's actually the best news you've ever heardThe real reason codependency is repelling the love you want (and what's magnetic instead)Why closure is a lie you've been telling yourself and how to finally give it to yourselfWhat monogamy and the spark actually have in common — and why you're probably blaming the wrong thingThe cultural narrative about men that I think is quietly working against your healingSome of these will land. Some might sting a little. All of them are things I wish someone had said to me years ago, before I spent way too long holding onto beliefs that were keeping me stuck in the same painful patterns.Come with an open mind and let's get into it.
Ronaldo just answered his critics with a brace in Portugal's 5–0 win over Uzbekistan, while Messi has five goals and Mbappé and Haaland have four each in the early World Cup golden‑boot race, setting up a tournament that could reignite every GOAT debate at once. With Portugal among the contenders and Argentina also near the top of the odds boards, the crew points out there's a real chance we get a Ronaldo‑vs‑Messi World Cup knockout clash, where one legend sends the other home and the internet melts down.
Have you seen videos of people experiencing a dramatic emotional release and wondered, "Do I need that to heal?" The conversation around trauma, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation has exploded in recent years. Many point to the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score and the idea that trauma is stored in the body. Others argue that trauma isn't stored in the body at all, but rather in the brain's predictive patterns and responses. So what's true? In this episode, Alisa explores this important conversation through both science and Scripture, examining where biology and theology meet. Together we'll consider what trauma does to the brain and body, why healing requires more than information alone, and how God's design for our minds and bodies points us toward lasting freedom. You'll discover: What somatic release is The difference between trauma being "stored" in the body versus encoded in the brain How trauma can impact our ability to shift from fear, anxiety, and hypervigilance into peace and safety Why tending to the body can help us tend to the mind What Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 teach us about renewing our minds Why healing happens in connection, not isolation How the compassion of Christ invites us into true restoration Alisa also unpacks Jesus' encounter with the man at the pool in John 5, asking a powerful question: Do we truly want to be healed, even when healing requires discomfort, surrender, and change? Practical Ways to Participate in Healing Get close to Jesus Spend time in God's Word until your heart is awakened to His truth and love. Stay connected to God's people Healing happens in relationships with people who embody the love and truth of Christ. Practice daily sacrifice Learn to become comfortable with healthy discomfort. These practices are more than spiritual disciplines—they are psycho-neuro-biological pathways that help align our minds, bodies, and spirits with God's design for wholeness.

Are we really “overteaching” phonics, or should there be a hard stopping point where it's not taught past a certain grade?Are current stories trending on popular news outlets aligned with best practices for supporting dyslexic learners?Is the public becoming more educated on how we learn to read, write, and spell?I invited my colleague, Lori Josephson, an author, consultant, and former teacher to discuss these questions. In this episode, we discuss:✅ Common literacy “urban legends”, including “Dyslexia is seeing words backwards” and “look at the picture and guess the word”✅ Why phonics gets a bad wrap and where the Science of Reading is often misunderstood✅ Handwriting, keyboarding, and how they relate to neural connections✅Making instruction more effective by integrating language, print, spelling, and executive functioning instead of siloing.Lori Josephson is an Author, Dyslexia Specialist, and Educational Consultant who is a Fellow of the Orton-Gillingham Academy, a retired Wilson Language Trainer, and holds a Master's Degree in Special Education-Learning Disabilities. She has had the privilege of teaching hundreds of struggling students how to make sense of print and text, as well as the honor of working with thousands of teachers training them how to teach and reach their students using methods based upon the complex brain processes involved in attaining literacy, the body of knowledge referred to as the Science of Reading. Her recently published book, “Calling All Neurons! How Reading and Spelling Happen”, explains how the human brain attains literacy in a fun, easy to understand manner where specialized neurons take the stage to provide this explanation. Lori serves as a Moderator of the wildly popular Facebook Group, Science of Reading-What I Should Have Learned in College, and is on the Advisory Council of The Northern Ohio Branch of The Dyslexia Association.You can connect with Lori in the following places:o Website: lorijosephson.com o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-josephson/o X: @lorijosephson2o Facebook: Lori Josephsono Instagram: @calling_all_neuronso Medium: https://lorijosephson.medium.com/o Substack: @lorijosephson686067We mentioned the following resources in this episode:Lori's book, “Calling All Neurons!

We lost a good friend a few days ago. A friend of the owls, and a man who made a real difference for them. I was very lucky to spend time with David Johnson for an episode we did about his delightful burrowing owls a few years ago - an experience that’ll always stay with me. David was a kind and inspiring man. He looked like an owl - inquisitive, wide-eyed, and full of magic, and possibilities. David Johnson passed away on June 15th from cancer. So in his honor, we’d like to share the episode we did that featured his work with burrowing owls. David’s owl work continues through the Global Owl Project and the people all over the planet that he brought into the world of these magical creatures that he loved with all his heart. Including the hundreds of young people he inspired to DO something for owls - so many of them are professional experts in the field now.

In this episode of The Principal's Handbook, we explore the challenges of being a people-pleasing principal and how the need for approval can impact leadership decisions. You'll learn how people-pleasing shows up through avoiding difficult conversations, watering down feedback, delaying decisions, and taking responsibility for other people's emotions. Through the TEA Cycle, we examine how thoughts about disappointing others create anxiety and lead to actions that weaken leadership effectiveness. The episode offers practical strategies for leading with clarity, confidence, and values instead of seeking approval. If you've ever worried about upsetting staff, parents, or teachers, this episode will help you lead with greater courage and authenticity.Get free resources at PrincipalFreebies.com.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next level isn't a lack of talent, strategy, or opportunity...But your willingness to invest in yourself?In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about how my dad taught me the principles of investing from a young age, helping me build an investment portfolio long before I ever became an entrepreneur.

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? The alarm doesn't go off. Someone says something that rubs you the wrong way. Work feels overwhelming. Your confidence takes a hit. And before you know it, one bad day starts feeling like a bad week, a bad month, or even a bad life. In this episode of It's a Mindset, Emma sits down with Learning and Organisational Development specialist, speaker and author Dr Gayle Smerdon to explore why bad days happen, how we can recognise them early, and most importantly, what we can do to stop them spiralling. Gayle is the author of The Bad Day Playbook and founder of the "Make Work Less Sh*t" philosophy. Drawing on decades of experience working with leaders, teams and organisations, she shares practical and compassionate strategies for navigating life's inevitable difficult moments. Who hasn't had a bad day? I know I've experienced a few recently, and this conversation really landed for me. One of the things I loved most about speaking with Gayle was her reminder that while bad days are inevitable, staying stuck in them isn't. This episode is filled with practical wisdom, self-awareness and gentle reminders that we have more agency than we often realise when we're struggling. Key Episode Takeaways: How a bad day can slowly turn into a bad week, a bad month or even depression if left unchecked The early warning signs that you're having a bad day Why recognising what's happening is often the first step towards changing it The powerful questions you can ask yourself when you're struggling How to identify what is within your control and what isn't The role of self-awareness in navigating difficult emotions Why connection can be one of the most important tools during a bad day How to know whether you need support, space or something else entirely Why bad days are part of being human and don't define who you are One of the most powerful messages from this conversation is that while we can't always control what happens to us, we can influence what happens next. Bad days may be inevitable. Staying stuck in them isn't. About the Guest Dr Gayle Smerdon is a Learning and Organisational Development specialist, speaker and author who helps people make work less exhausting and more meaningful. For more than two decades, she has worked across universities, government and not-for-profits, helping leaders and teams navigate change, build capability and create healthy workplace cultures. With a PhD in Sociology and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, Gayle studies how organisations function (and malfunction), exploring the interplay between systems, culture and behaviour. She is the author of The Bad Day Playbook and founder of the "Make Work Less Sh*t" philosophy - a practical, funny and deeply human approach to improving work without pretending everything is fine.

Join Alisa Keeton for a light interval workout and contemplative prayer practice rooted in Romans 8:28. Drawing from the teachings of Thomas Keating, Alisa explores surrender as an active posture of trust—not apathy, but courage. As you move, you'll consider what it means to welcome God into every part of your life, especially the places where you're striving, overfunctioning, worrying, or trying to stay in control. Through gentle intervals and reflective questions, you'll be invited to notice where your fists are closed and practice opening your hands to God's presence. Together, you'll explore the difference between groaning and grumbling, how suffering can become a pathway to deeper trust, and why surrender is often the beginning of coming home to God. This workout will help you shift from frustration to fascination, from anxiety to adventure, as you remember that God is working all things toward good. Come ready to move, reflect, and strengthen your surrender. Playlist for This Workout
Girl, your vision board isn't broken, your identity is.This week I'm getting real with you about the one thing that actually changes everything when it comes to attracting secure, healthy love: who you're becoming. Because here's the truth, a goal without an identity change is just torture. You can want that loving partnership more than anything (the kind of want that makes you tear up out of nowhere), but if your nervous system still believes you're not enough, you're pressing the gas in a car with no wheels. In this short-but-powerful solo episode, I'm walking you through the identity shifts that have to be true, not logically, but on a nervous system level, to become the securely attached woman who attracts the relationship she actually deserves.Inside the Episode:Why goals and vision boards keep falling flat and the identity work that actually rewires your attachment patternsThe three things your nervous system has to know are true: your worth isn't defined by a relationship, intimacy is safe, and you can trust yourselfHow interdependence (not codependence, not hyper-independence) lets you finally date with an open palm, wanting your person instead of desperately needing themReady to actually do this work?

When life brings unexpected trials, it can feel like our strength, hope, and even our faith are beginning to fail. Psalm 73 reminds us that even when our flesh and hearts grow weak, God remains the strength that sustains us. He does not promise a life free from hardship, but He promises His presence through every valley we walk.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever… it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” Ps. 73:22-28 (NIV) Have you ever been through an unexpected trial and felt as if your heart and your flesh are failing? Where do you turn when the circumstances are so overwhelming, so oppressive, that it feels as if any and all physical strength has been drained out? Normal stamina and rigor seem to be completely absent, leaving you utterly exhausted from the simplest daily tasks. And if that isn’t challenging enough, your heart follows suit and struggles to carry the weight of your unwelcome burdens. Unfortunately, we all face hardships, disappointments, and at times even devastation. While the Bible is full of God’s promises, unending love, and hope for the future, it is also clear that sin and suffering are ever-present realities in this world. The consequences of these can wreak havoc on our hearts and minds. Our Heavenly Father understood this from the moment sin entered the world and forever changed the landscape of all of our lives. He made provision through His only Son to pay the penalty for sin, but that payment does not shield us from encountering heartbreak. While we cannot evade challenging and hurtful circumstances, God promises to walk side-by-side with us as we take every step through the valley. I don’t know where you find yourself today. Perhaps you are in a sweet season of joy and abundance. If so, I celebrate with you. Treasure the good gifts God has bestowed upon you during this time. But if you are facing a season of struggle, then I empathize and offer my deepest condolences. Today, I find myself wandering through yet another desert, confused, conflicted, and in desperate need of holy consolation. Yet even in this, I know God is still granting me “good” gifts, even if nothing about it feels “good.” There really are times when there is nothing here on earth that can satisfy or bring true comfort. Loved ones can be present, be a listening ear, and provide some measure of relief, but only the Lord can reach those dark caverns of our souls when the heart fails. He assures us that He is always with us, no matter how crushed and lost we feel. When we feel like we cannot possibly take one more step, He guides us with His counsel. He provides supernatural wisdom for the hard decisions we may have to make and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Though the wind and the waves may buffet our sails, the Lord declares, “Peace, be still.” As the Lord fulfills every one of these promises, He is granting us good gifts. He is demonstrating His unfailing love as He draws us closer to Him. God reveals Himself to us as we seek refuge in Him and in Him alone. We can trust Him. On the other side of the cross is resurrection. On the other side of whatever hardships and hurts you are facing today, there is glory. Will you join me today, as we remind ourselves of God’s goodness and promises shared in Psalm 73:22-28? “…I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever… it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” (NIV) Intersecting Faith & Life: Are there circumstances in your life right now that have threatened to overtake your faith and peace? Do you feel as if your heart has failed? If so, how does today’s scripture offer you hope? Even if the pain and disappointment feel unbearable, can you sense God’s presence in the midst of all you are going through? Regardless of where you find yourself today, I pray that God’s faithfulness is evident in your life, and you can declare with me, “It is good to be near God.” Further Reading:Hebrews 13:5John 16:33 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Andrew Sean Greer is one of those writers who wrote a book that is so uncommonly GOOD that everything after it pales in comparison. Less--with its propulsive plot, its sneaky narrator and its incredible twist--continues to be an enormous favorite of mine. VILLA COCO might stand in the shadow of that earlier work, but so much is working well here. Especially if you're someone who starts it and feels it lag, this lecture is for you. It picks up! And if you have the real strangths of the novel in mind, it'll be all the more CHARMING. NO SPOILERS! A GOOD PRE-READING lecture!
With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ Episode Overview Fresh off my Level Up Mastermind retreat with retailers from around the world, I'm reflecting on something that feels increasingly important in retail right now: experiences. Your customers are looking for connection, meaning, and events they can remember. In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on some of the findings from a research report from the Portas Agency titled "The Momento Generation". The concept explores how many younger consumers are placing greater value on memories, shared experiences, and stories over simply acquiring more stuff/consumerism. As independent retailers, this gives us an opportunity to think differently about how we serve our customers. I explore why creating memorable moments may matter more than ever and what that could look like inside our shops and communities. Our Key Topics What the "Memento Generation" is and why it matters for understanding changing consumer behavior. Why younger consumers are prioritizing experiences, memories, and meaning over simply acquiring more products. How independent retailers can create memorable customer experiences that go beyond convenience and transactions. What belonging, community, and shared moments mean for brick-and-mortar businesses today. Why the experience surrounding a product can influence purchasing decisions as much as the product itself. Key Takeaways For Shop Owners on Meaningful Buying Customers are seeking meaning as much as merchandise. The research from the Portas Agency suggests that many consumers are asking questions beyond "What can I buy?" They're considering how purchases make them feel, what memories they create, and who they can share those experiences with. Independent retailers are uniquely positioned to create memorable experiences. Fast, cheap, and convenient options are widely available. What independent retailers can offer is something more personal, memorable, and difficult to replicate. The focus shifts from selling products to creating moments. Rather than asking how to sell more items, consider how they can create experiences customers remember and talk about long after a purchase. Community and connection continue to matter. Whether through gatherings, events, conversations, or shared experiences, creating opportunities for people to connect can strengthen the role your business plays in their lives. The product still matters, but the experience around it matters too. The research isn't suggesting products are unimportant. Instead, it highlights how the surrounding experience, presentation, and emotional connection can increasingly influence purchasing decisions. "The future belongs to businesses that are creating memories, not just transactions." What moments are your customers taking home with them beyond the products they purchase?

What if your marketing isn't actually the problem?What if people are finding you, checking out your content, clicking through to your website... and then leaving?After analysing close to 70,000 websites, Irwin Hau (our guest on the podcast for ep 331) has come to one conclusion.Most businesses don't have a traffic problem.They have a conversion problem.In this episode, we dive into the role your website plays in your marketing strategy, why getting more traffic won't fix a website that isn't converting, and the four questions every visitor is subconsciously asking when they land on your site. We also talk about trust, testimonials, proof, why most websites overcomplicate their messaging, and the simple website mistakes that could be costing you leads without you even realising it.If you LOVED this episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @contentqueenmariah.LEARN THE DETAILS OF A CONTENT STRATEGY WITH MY FREE AUDIO GUIDEKEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS

Join Alisa Keeton for a light interval workout and contemplative prayer practice rooted in Romans 8:28. Drawing from the teachings of Thomas Keating, Alisa explores surrender as an active posture of trust—not apathy, but courage. As you move, you'll consider what it means to welcome God into every part of your life, especially the places where you're striving, overfunctioning, worrying, or trying to stay in control. Through gentle intervals and reflective questions, you'll be invited to notice where your fists are closed and practice opening your hands to God's presence. Together, you'll explore the difference between groaning and grumbling, how suffering can become a pathway to deeper trust, and why surrender is often the beginning of coming home to God. This workout will help you shift from frustration to fascination, from anxiety to adventure, as you remember that God is working all things toward good. Come ready to move, reflect, and strengthen your surrender. Playlist for This Workout

This is one of the most memorable cases I've encountered in my career as a dog behaviorist.It's a true story about a kind, intelligent man named Tim and his rescue dog Buddy. Despite loving his dog deeply, Tim found himself repeatedly bitten by the very dog he adored. The mystery wasn't why Buddy was biting. The mystery was why Tim couldn't see the warnings that came before the bites.In this episode, I share the surprising discovery that changed everything and the lesson every dog owner can learn from it.

What happens when a doctor becomes the patient?This week, Zoe sits down with GP, broadcaster and author Dr Punam Krishan for a powerful conversation about motherhood, health and what happens when we put ourselves last.Following her recent breast cancer diagnosis, Punam reflects on recovery, the traumatic birth of her first child, severe postnatal depression, and the moment she realised that while everyone was focused on the baby, nobody was asking how she was.Together, Zoe and Punam explore the "maternal health penalty" - why so many mothers normalise exhaustion, pain and overwhelm - and what needs to change so mothers receive the care and support they deserve.
Everyone is talking about GLP-1s right now. Some women swear they've changed their lives. Others are side eyeing them from across the internet. And most are somewhere in the middle at 11pm Googling "should I just get the shot" or just diet harder. No judgment. That's why we're here. I brought on Shenelle Green, bariatric coach, surgery patient and honestly one of the most no-BS guests I've ever had on this show. Before she recommends anything to anyone, she asks one question: "Tell me everything you ate yesterday." Because that answer tells her more than any bloodwork ever could. We went everywhere in this one. GLP-1s, bariatric surgery, food addiction, the scale holding your entire mood hostage, and the moment Shenelle hit her goal weight and realized, wait, that's it? No confetti? Just another Tuesday? Yeah. We talked about that. Because nobody warns you that the weight coming off doesn't fix the shitty job, the shitty relationship, or the 30 years of all-or-nothing thinking that got you here. And if you don't deal with that stuff, the weight is just the first thing on a very long list. This Fit Girl Magic episode is for the woman who's GLP curious, the one who's already on them and wondering why it's not going the way she expected, and the one who's just tired of doing everything right and still feeling stuck.

You've been told that if you just love him hard enough, he'll change. I need you to hear what my guest says about that.Y'all, this one is different. I sat down in studio in NYC with Zac Clark, founder and CEO of Release Recovery, host of The Zac Clark Show, and a man who's 14+ years sober after losing nearly everything to addiction. But here's why I brought this conversation to you: so many of us have poured ourselves into someone we were trying to save. We've abandoned ourselves believing that if we could just get them to show up differently, then we'd finally be enough. Zac says the quiet part out loud, you're not that powerful. And somehow, that truth is the most freeing thing in the world.Inside the Episode:The real difference between loving someone and enabling them How to decide what you're actually willing to tolerate (and why leaving doesn't make you a bad person)Why detaching from the outcome and doing your own work is the only thing that's ever in your controlThis is an episode about addiction, but really, it's about self-worth, boundaries, and refusing to disappear inside someone else's chaos.

In this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns take aim at some of the most praised movies of the last several decades with their list of Movies Critics Loved… But We Hated.

You can know everything about attachment theory and still keep ending up in the same painful patterns, so what's actually different about the women who break free?Girl, this one's for you if you've read all the books, listened to all the episodes, and you still feel stuck. In this solo episode, I'm getting a little nerdy with you (let's get nerdy together) about the real difference between people who intellectually understand secure attachment and people who actually go build the healthy, loving relationship.

It's about going internal and doing the deep work — and I'm walking you through exactly what that looks like, story and all.Inside the episode:Why you are the common denominator in your relationships and why that's the most empowering truth, not the harshest oneHow to finally set down the "invisible backpack" of relational trauma you've been carrying without even realizing itThe neuroplasticity piece: how to stop merging onto the old superhighway and start paving your new, securely attached gravel road (plus the sock-stealing story that taught me what a corrective emotional experience really feels like)If you're ready to stop collecting awareness and start embodying secure attachment, the Empowered.
