So many of us think we're following our desires - but what we're often following… is fantasy or someone else's idea of what our life "should" be.The fantasy of the perfect relationship.The perfect career.Life that looks good on paper.The perfect body - the ageless face.The version of success or love we were taught should make us happy.And while fantasy can feel exciting or intoxicating at first, it often comes with pressure, anxiety, urgency, and attachment to “potential.”True desire feels very different. It's grounded, quiet & clear.In this episode, Kate explores the subtle - but life-changing - difference between fantasy and true desire, and how learning to recognize it can transform not only your relationships, but the way you make every major decision in your life.Because this isn't just about dating.It's about:Who you choose to loveThe work you say yes toThe dreams you pursueAnd whether you're building a life that actually feels aligned… or just looks good from the outside.Inside this conversation, Kate shares:how conditioning and old wounds shape what we think we wantthe ways we chase potential instead of reality what true desire actually feels like in the body and nervous systemhow to slow down and make choices from self-trust instead of fear or provingthe shift from Saboteur patterns into your grounded, self-led HeroineThis episode is an invitation to stop performing a life and start choosing one that genuinely feels like you.If you've ever reached something you thought you wanted. only to feel empty once you got there - this conversation will offer clarity, language, and a new way forward.About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

Welcome to the Newbreed Christian Community Podcast.Today's teaching is titled “LOVE READY”, ministered by Pastor David Oghenerobor.Love is not an emotion you stumble into — it is a posture you prepare for. Many desire to give love and receive love, yet few understand that love requires readiness. Before love manifests outwardly, the heart must be aligned inwardly. Readiness in love is a work of growth, healing, maturity, and surrender.In this transformative message, Pastor David unveils what it truly means to be love-ready — positioned, prepared, and purified to walk in the love of God and express it rightly to others.In this teaching, you will discover:Why love readiness begins with receiving God's love fullyHow emotional wounds can distort your expression of loveThe difference between affection and covenant commitmentWhy maturity is the backbone of sustainable loveHow God prepares a man internally before releasing him relationally❤️ Love is not rushed — it is cultivated.❤️ Love is not selfish — it is sacrificial.❤️ Love is not fragile when it is built on truth.To be love-ready is to have a heart that is secure, healed, and anchored in Christ. It is to love without fear, to serve without manipulation, and to commit without instability. When God prepares your heart, your relationships become an extension of His nature.This message calls you to examine your foundation — not just your desires. Are you prepared to love the way Christ loves? Are you ready to carry responsibility, patience, forgiveness, and endurance?

Hey friends,Have you ever felt like you're trying to pass on faith to your kids while quietly wrestling with your own? If so, this episode is for you.This week I'm joined by Kristin LaValley, writer, retreat host, and mom of five, who brings so much vulnerability and hope to the table. Kristin's story is one many of us can relate to: growing up in the church, facing seasons of doubt and deconstruction, and learning how to build a gentler, deeper faith in the aftermath. Her wisdom is rooted in real experience, and she reminds us that asking questions doesn't disqualify us, it invites us to know God more fully.Here are just a few of the things we unpack in today's conversation:Why fear-based faith doesn't last, and how to replace it with something more rooted in loveThe difference between shame and conviction, especially when helping our kids process emotionsHow to give our children spiritual agency without disengaging from their discipleshipWhat it means to be a non-anxious presence in the midst of theological tensionThis one is tender, thoughtful, and full of grace. I hope it reminds you that God can hold both your faith and your questions.Kristin LaValley is a writer, retreat leader, and mother of five living in New England. She helps women process faith, trauma, and spiritual transformation with honesty and hope. Her latest book, Growing Up Saved, is a heartfelt reflection on evangelical culture, mental health, and rebuilding faith after deconstruction.(01:28) Transitioning from Homeschooling to Public School(02:41) The Power of Writing in Healing(05:19) Navigating Church Hurt and Parenting(10:36) Giving Kids Agency in Their Faith(20:38) Understanding Shame and Its Impact on Faith(28:38) Kristen's Book and Closing ThoughtsConnect with KristenWebsiteInstagramFacebookGrowing Up Saved bookResources MentionedChristian Parenting resourcesSign up for Morning MinuteI Can Only Imagine 2 movieOpen a LearningRX centerDisciplines of Devotion seriesPrefer video?

n this deeply moving episode of Prayer on the Air, we enter sacred territory: motherhood, mental health, shame, boundaries, and surrender.Two courageous mothers open their hearts and speak vulnerably about walking alongside sons who are struggling. They name what so many carry silently — the embarrassment, the fear, the self-blame, the exhaustion of codependency, and the crushing weight of “personal responsibility.”Together, we explore:The cultural burden placed on mothersThe difference between codependency and interdependenceWhy suffering is not failureWhat it means to trust that “the way knows the way”How letting go may actually be loveThe courage to follow your bliss, even in hard seasonsWe reflect on the Year of the Fire Horse — a symbol of momentum, courage, and new beginnings — and what it means to move forward not from fear, but from surrender.This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to:Release the belief that you are your child's sourceLet yourself off the hookAllow sadness without resistanceTrust the deeper wisdom unfolding beneath what appears broken“Put God on the hook. Let yourself off the hook.”If you are a mother navigating boundaries, a parent walking through mental health challenges, or anyone carrying shame about something you cannot fix — this prayer circle is for you.You are not alone.There are no winners and losers in prayer.And what appears as a fall from grace may actually be a falling into grace.Amen.

What does it take to be happy? And why does happiness so often slip away?In this episode of What Is a Good Life?, Mark McCartney is joined by Rasmus Hougaard for a conversation that moves from childhood questions about happiness, to monasteries in Nepal, to the boardrooms where he now works to transform leadership. Rasmus is the Founder and Chairman of Potential Project and was nominated by Thinkers 50 as one of the eight most important leadership thinkers in the world today. He's the author of The Mind of the Leader, Compassionate Leadership, and More Human: How the Power of AI Can Transform the Way You Lead.Together, they explore:Why an eight-year-old's question about happiness became a life's workThe cultural wisdom Rasmus found in Nepal that the West is missingHow his brother's death inspired his life's purposeA profound encounter with an unknown monk that transmitted unconditional loveThe difficulty of being human, even with deep practice and good intentionsThe innate goodness we all carry (and why many of us have forgotten it)What changes when leaders ask "how are you?" before "what do we need to do?"This conversation sits with both the challenge of being human and the incredible capacity we have for loving kindness. It's about the practice of returning to what matters again and again.This episode is for anyone wondering if there's more to leadership, happiness, and being human than what we've been taught.For more of Rasmus' work:Potential Project: https://www.potentialproject.com/Books: https://www.potentialproject.com/resources#01-books LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rasmushougaard/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney00:00  Why Aren't We Happy?05:30  Finding a Practice at Seventeen11:45  Wisdom in Himalayan Culture17:20  Life's Purpose from Tragedy24:30  Meeting Bodhisattva Charles31:15  Our Innate Human Goodness37:40  The Difficulty of Being Human43:10  Forced Surrender and Self-Compassion48:25  Transformation in Corporate Spaces52:15  Multiple Lives, Less Pressure54:30  What is a Good Life for Rasmus?

Can you honestly say you love your spouse the way Christ loves the church? For most of us, the answer is no—because in our own strength, it's impossible.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster reveals the truth most Christians miss: God didn't command sacrificial love and then leave you to figure it out alone. Romans 5:5 says He already put His love in your heart by the Holy Spirit.The world's love is conditional—based on attractiveness, success, personality. When those fade, the love dies. But God's love is different. He loves because it's His nature, and because you need to be loved—not because you deserve it.Pastor Webster opens Ephesians 5 and Romans 5 to show God's supernatural provision: the capacity to love sacrificially is already in you. Now you just have to choose it.✓ How can I love my spouse when I don't feel it anymore?✓ What's the difference between the world's love and God's love?✓ Can God really change my capacity to love?✓ Is sacrificial love actually possible for ordinary Christians?✓ Why are Christian marriages failing at the same rate as the world?

We've all been there… they say all the right things, they sound so sure, and you let yourself believe this time will be different… until months (or years) later, it falls apart. In today's episode, I'm walking you through what actually needs to be true for someone to be genuinely ready for secure, healthy love and this applies not only to the person you're dating, but to you, too. This is about protecting your time, your energy, and your heart, and learning how to spot readiness early instead of realizing it far too late.Inside the episode:How to tell the difference between someone who wants a relationship and someone who actually has the capacity for secure loveThe five non-negotiables that must be present for a relationship to grow instead of slowly draining youWhy emotional availability, healed attachment wounds, and feeling safe in closeness matter more than chemistry ever willThis is one of those episodes I wish I could send back in time to my younger self and one you might want to share with someone you love.

In this final episode of our Parent Wound & Your Attachment Style series, we're talking about what inner child healing really is and why insight alone isn't enough to create secure attachment. If you've done the self-work, listened to the podcasts, and still feel stuck in the same relationship patterns, this episode will help you understand what's actually missing. True healing happens when we teach the nervous system that it's safe now, and today I'm walking you through how inner child work, mother wounds, father wounds, and secure attachment all connect.Inside the episode:What inner child healing truly involves - nervous system rewiring, emotional regulation, re-parenting yourself, and building earned secure attachmentHow mother wounds and father wounds show up in adulthood, shaping your relationship with emotions, self-worth, feedback, and loveThe three requirements for becoming securely attached, including creating safety in your body, developing self-trust through re-parenting, and choosing emotionally available relationshipsThis episode is about moving out of survival mode and into safety, not just in your thoughts, but in your body. When you heal your inner child at a nervous system level, your patterns begin to change, your standards rise, and secure relationships stop feeling unfamiliar and start feeling natural.Ready for deeper support? Work with Dr. Morgan

Most of us think relationship problems are about communication.But what if the real issue is what's happening beneath the surface?In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, I'm joined by Dr. Gino Collura; behavioral scientist, executive advisor, and neuroanthropology expert, to unpack the hidden language of trauma and why it shows up in how we relate, react, attach, and interpret people.Trauma doesn't always show up as a memory.More often, it shows up as overreaction, withdrawal, control, or shutdown, and we don't even realize we're doing it.We talk about:How early experiences shape the “cost of love” we believe inWhy so many high-achievers chase success as a proxy for loveThe patterns trauma produces (people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, emotional withdrawal)Boundaries, self-respect, and why loving people doesn't mean protecting everyoneWhy healing is possible: the brain can rewire and the heart can healThis conversation is faith-forward, emotionally honest, and deeply practical, especially if you're a high-capacity woman who leads well outwardly but feels tired, reactive, or stuck internally.  

In today's episode, I'm opening up a brand-new series that I felt deeply called to create, Healing the Roots of Attachment. We're starting with the mother wound and how early caregiving experiences shape your attachment style, your nervous system, and the way you show up in romantic relationships. If you've ever noticed yourself spiraling in dating, pulling away when things get close, or repeating painful relationship cycles, this conversation will help you understand why and more importantly, remind you that these patterns are not permanent. This episode is about awareness, compassion, and reconnecting to the part of you that deserves safety, attunement, and secure love.Inside the EpisodeHow the mother wound forms and how emotional attunement, comfort, delight, and repair shape your internal working model of loveThe connection between the mother wound and anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles in adult relationshipsWhy self-soothing, self-compassion, and emotional regulation are learned and how these patterns can be rewired through healing and supportThis episode is Part 1 of a 3-part series. In the next episode, we'll explore the Father wound and how it influences attraction, safety, and self-worth. In Part 3, we'll bring it all together with inner child healing and the path to becoming securely attached.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This podcast explores how God uses the baptism of fire to transform believers from merely human reactions into the expression of His divine nature. Through trials, discipline, and surrender, the Lord burns away dross, purifies the heart, and brings His people into deeper realms of peace, joy, and freedom. As we submit to His dealings, Christ Himself perfects us, creating a pure bride who responds to every situation out of His nature rather than the soul. This process leads us level by level into maturity, oneness, and fruitful participation in the life of God. Show Notes God's fire finishes the work by burning away dross, chaff, and hidden attachmentsThe baptism of fire produces peace, freedom, and deeper release in GodVictory comes through submission, not self-preservationGod is preparing a clean bride to stand in His presence without reservationTransformation comes through yielding, not human effortDiscipline is evidence of sonship and loveThe fire produces divine responses instead of human reactionsGod is forming His own nature within usEach level of fire produces greater fruitfulnessFellowship strengthens us through God's dealingsThe goal is participation in the divine nature Key Quotes “The fire finishes the work because it burns away everything that doesn't belong in our spirits.”“We're not going forward by our humanity, but by the grace of God and His anointing.”“The only thing we have to do is submit—Christ is the One perfecting us.”“

In this inspiring conversation, Gill Tiney and Nicholas Adkins, founder of the Pink Socks Movement, explore the transformative power of authentic human connection in a digitally connected yet emotionally disconnected world. They unpack the difference between connectivity and true connection, reminding us that genuine relationships are built through presence, openness, and self-expression, not algorithms or screens.From everyday moments on trains and in grocery stores to global movements rooted in kindness, this episode invites listeners to reconnect with what it means to be human. Nicholas shares the origin story of the Pink Socks Movement, a simple act of gifting pink socks that sparked over 300,000 meaningful connections worldwide. Each pair serves as a reminder to see the good in others, spark conversations, and lead with love.Gill and Nicholas also dive into how fear, social conditioning, and polarization limit our ability to connect, and how choosing love, curiosity, and diversity can radically expand our world. The conversation also introduces Nicholas's book, “The Pink Socks,” a heartfelt collection of real stories designed to be gifted and shared, with all proceeds supporting the Pink Socks Life nonprofit.

We're diving deep into parts work (also known as Internal Family Systems or IFS) - the modality that has completely changed how I move through triggers, make decisions, show up as a mother, and lead inside my business.

When Lauren Hayes became a mother in her mid-30s, her fierce independence and lifelong people-pleasing suddenly collided. Parenthood cracked open old patterns she didn't know were running the show, like the “funny” family story about her as a child that led to the belief that she had to earn love to be worthy of it. Through therapy, self-inquiry, and later, an unexpected exploration of ethical non-monogamy with her husband, Lauren began to uncover what authentic love and connection actually feel like. In this candid, funny, and deeply human conversation, she shares how healing her “little-t” trauma helped her trust her own voice, redefine intimacy, and finally stop hustling for approval.Guest Bio Lauren Hayes is speaker, author and relationship coach specializing in supporting ethically non-monogamous (ENM) couples, including swingers and the ENM-curious. She helps couples navigate and engage the swinging and non-monogamous community in the healthiest of ways. She holds the perspective that non-monogamous relationships share the same foundations of any healthy relationship, however, they need to operate at a higher level of health to accommodate the additional complexities. Her approach aims to help couples build their ideal relationship, regardless of whether or how many others it includes. She also brings personal experience to her coaching having been married for 20+ years and ENM (swingers) for the last 6+ years.Turning 40 and Rewriting the Rules of LoveLauren Hayes shares a story of courage, curiosity, and radical honesty. From an early childhood experience that left her believing she had to earn love, Lauren built a life of high achievement and independence. But when motherhood stripped away her identity and marriage revealed deep emotional patterns, she began the hard work of healing. That healing eventually led her, and her husband, to explore non-monogamy, a journey that brought her closer to self-acceptance, intimacy, and personal freedom than she'd ever known. Now a relationship coach and author, Lauren shares how learning to trust her own voice and desires transformed not just her marriage but her sense of self.In this episode, you'll hear:How a “funny” childhood story revealed the root of a lifelong belief that she had to earn loveThe surprising ways people-pleasing shows up even in adulthood and marriageWhat happens when independence becomes a trauma response instead of a strengthHow becoming a mother cracked open her identity and forced her to redefine “being enough”What ethical non-monogamy is, and what it isn'tHow exploring non-traditional relationships can become a path to deep personal growthThe empowerment that comes from embracing your sexuality and using your voiceLauren's midlife transformation story is an invitation to examine the stories we tell ourselves about love, worth, and belonging.

1. Inspiration Beyond the BrainThe book challenges the materialist view that creativity is a left-brain, analytical function. Instead, it presents music as a right-brain, paranormal process. Many iconic songs are received through instantaneous “downloads” or vivid dreams. Keith Richards famously dreamt the riff for “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,” even recording his snoring afterward. These dream-sourced compositions often arrive fully formed, with clarity unlike typical dream content.2. Musicians as ChannelsMany legendary artists describe themselves as vessels rather than creators. John Lennon said he was “just the channel” for the “music of the spheres.” Michael Jackson believed his best songs were “works of God” that dropped into his lap. Notably, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't read or write music—suggesting that genius may bypass formal training and arise from external sources.3. A Historical PatternThis phenomenon isn't limited to rock and pop. Classical composers also reported receiving music from beyond. Mozart described his compositions as arriving “almost complete” in dreams. Brahms spoke of entering a trance-like state where ideas flowed “directly from God.” Such accounts suggest a long-standing tradition of non-local inspiration.4. UFOs and MusiciansThe book documents a striking number of UFO encounters among musicians. If cataloged, the list would include hundreds of high-profile names. John Lennon had a daylight sighting in 1974; Mick Jagger saw a UFO over the crowd at the 1969 Altamont concert. 5. Alien OriginsSome musicians believe they are extraterrestrial in origin. John Denver referenced the constellation Lyra as his home. Elvis Presley claimed he came from Orion, saying, “I am not of this world.” Lee Scratch Perry declared, “I am an alien from outer space… from Krypton.” Kurt Cobain expressed a lifelong feeling of being “homesick,” imagining himself as an alien baby found in a spaceship.6. Messages of Oneness and LoveThe themes expressed in music often mirror those reported by UFO experiencers. The central message is Oneness—the idea that all existence is interconnected. Lennon's lyric “I am he as you are he as you are me…” reflects this unity. His slogan “Love is the Answer. What was the Question?” and the anthem “All You Need is Love” serve as spiritual propaganda for this shift from fear to love.7. Environmental and Nuclear WarningsA recurring theme is planetary survival. Musicians often channel messages warning of ecological collapse and nuclear danger. Neil Young's “After the Gold Rush” describes “silver spaceships” rescuing the chosen ones.8. Targeting YouthMusicians are seen as strategic messengers to reach younger generations—the “ultimate swing voters.” Youth are more open to ideas that transcend traditional structures like religion and politics. Carlos Santana reported that the entity Metatron told him he'd be tuned into a “radio airwave frequency” to deliver a “new menu” of existence, helping students realize they are “multi-dimensional spirits.”9. Dreams and Altered StatesSongs often arrive during altered states—dreams, meditation, or automatic writing. Sting received “Every Breath You Take” in 15 minutes through automatic writing. Billy Joel dreamt many of his songs fully formed. Music heard during near-death experiences is described as “floating,” ethereal, and profoundly beautiful—often called the “music of the spheres.”10. Music and Quantum ConsciousnessThe book concludes by challenging the materialist worldview. It suggests that the universe operates through a quantum reality where consciousness is primary. Musicians report accessing a non-local field of awareness, consistent with quantum experiments showing that consciousness precedes matter. In this view, the brain doesn't create consciousness—consciousness creates the brain. Music becomes a delivery system for awakening, love, and planetary stewardship.
