Happy Monday girlies! In this episode, we're exploring how the rise of “main character energy” in culture can lead us to idolize ourselves more than we realize. From the subtle ways we prioritize our own desires to the ways we remove ourselves from other people's stories, this conversation is a reminder to re-center your life on Christ.We'll talk about Jesus' example of self-denial, the difference between self-love and self-worship, and what it really looks like to die to self. Because true freedom doesn't come from being the star. It comes from surrender.Follow us: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating!

What makes someone truly great in God's Kingdom? It's not status, platform, or self-confidence—it's transformation and humility. In this message, we unpack Jesus' answer to the disciples' question: “Who is the greatest?” His response wasn't a success story—it was a child. We look at how becoming great for God starts with heart transformation, grows through humility, and is displayed in how we care for others. If you've been chasing recognition or performance, this message will reset your vision for what true greatness really looks like.

In this chapter of Soul Of The Fire we finally learn Wizard's 5th Rule. "Mind what people do, not only what they say, for their deeds will betray a lie." And we know this is a useful rule because up until this point in the story our MAIN CHARACTERS have barely said anything to each other. Oh they've been tallking, but have they been saying anything? Hmm... Well, Richard is ready to say something, and he's going to say it to Kahlan, and he's going to say it right n- in the next chapter....

In Episode 84 of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey dive into a trending concept from Gen Z culture: “Main Character Energy.” Bryon kicks off the conversation by sharing how he came across the term and what it means—seeing yourself as the central figure in every situation. Jen offers insight into how this mindset can subtly affect relationships, especially in the context of marriage. In marriage, “main character energy” often shows up as self-centered responses to your spouse's honest communication. For example, one spouse might express a want or need, only for the other spouse to spiral into self-doubt, guilt, or defensiveness. Instead of hearing the concern for what it is, the response becomes about personal failure—how they aren't measuring up. Bryon shares how he used to feel inadequate when Jen needed to talk to her friends, misinterpreting her need for community as a sign he wasn't enough. But the truth is: It's not always about you. Sometimes your spouse just needs to express themselves, and it's not a reflection on your performance as a husband or wife. Bryon and Jen discuss how even negative self-focus is still a form of pride—it centers the conversation on you, rather than your partner. Jen highlights Philippians 2:3 (NET): “Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.” They also quote Rick Warren's famous line: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It's thinking about yourself less.” This mindset shift is essential for healthy, God-honoring communication. When your spouse shares a concern, the most loving response is to listen without reacting defensively. Practice active listening without trying to fix the problem right away. In many cases, your spouse may just need a listening ear. And when your spouse is asking for a change in attitude or action, view it as a gift—not a criticism. They're giving you a clear way to love them better. It's also important not to spiral into insecurity. Remind yourself: your spouse loves you, chose you, and continues to say yes to you daily. Trust that if they need something specific from you, they'll communicate it directly. And for the spouse who's expressing a concern—don't drop hints. Be clear and direct. Marriage isn't a guessing game; it's a safe, sacred space to speak openly and specifically. The episode wraps up with this truth: Main character energy destroys many relationships. Yes, you are vitally important to your spouse. But not everything is about you. When your spouse shares a concern, let it be their concern. Support them, listen, and trust that love grows when we stop making ourselves the center of every story. Operation: Thriving Marriage continues to help couples build stronger, Christ-centered relationships—together. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it!

As we head into Mother's Day weekend (there's still time to get to the florist if you hurry!), we dive into “motherhood in the moment”—where “pro-natalism”, the rising cost of childcare, and, um, Chapelle Roan are making the “Tiger Mom” era of a decade ago seem quaint.  Guest: Jenée Desmond-Harris, staff writer for Slate and host of Dear Prudence.

Bill Belichick has always been a master of control—on the field, in the press, and with his own narrative. But this episode examines how that carefully crafted reputation is unraveling, not because of a fumbled statement, but due to the outsize influence of his much-younger girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. A viral CBS interview, public statements blaming the media, and confusion about her expanding “professional” role—all illustrate a pattern where the desire to squash uncomfortable questions only fuels more curiosity and suspicion for the current UNC football coach. Using the latest PR missteps as a case study, the episode spotlights the danger of losing control over the story to someone whose only real credential is main character energy. When boundary issues and amateur crisis management collide, even New England legends risk getting steamrolled by bad optics. The tension between protecting privacy and inviting chaos gets put under the spotlight, challenging listeners to recognize when a message stops being strategy and starts becoming farce.In this episode:The real cost of outsourcing reputation management to someone with minimal experience and maximum influenceWhy blaming the media—and the audience—always backfires, no matter how famous you areHow losing internal boundaries blurs personal and professional roles, turning even legacy brands into tabloid fodderWant More Behind the Breakdown?

“Funny how?” 1990s Goodfellas set a new high watermark for the gangster movie. The Martin Scorsese classic starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta (along with, like, half the cast of The Sopranos) portrayed a world in which the mafia life itself was the main character. Clint, Cal and Nick talk about the origins of the famous Copacabana shot, the most brilliant insert shots in the history of film, and how over Christmas that year you could see Joe Pesci in both Home Alone and Goodfellas in theaters.

This powerful clip is from episode 303– one of my favorite episodes. This episode is an invitation to stand with your authorship, honor your values, + begin narrating your life from your truth instead of by default. Because real main character energy isn't about being seen—it's about seeing yourSELF clearly + standing with your most authentic Self. Through the lens of Self-awareness and intentional storytelling, I talk about the emotional + psychological power of owning your narrative + creating a Self-directed life from it.WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS EPISODE: Learn how journaling becomes a mirror for self-clarity, healing, + empowered authorship.Reframe “main character energy” into something soulful, sustainable, and self-honoring.Understand why your values are the true compass for authentic decision-making.Explore how self-authored narratives can help you navigate conflict with grace + power.Get a grounded practice for developing intrinsic motivation rooted in self-respect, not performance.Feel inspired to write yourSELF back into your story—with sovereignty + softness.

In this episode, we're diving deep into Main Character Energy — what it is, why it matters, and how to start building it (even if you're shy, introverted, or feeling wildly behind). You'll learn: - Why Main Character Energy is even more important in unstable times - The three essential skills at the heart of a Main Character Life - The truth about people-pleasing, perfectionism, and "best friend identity" - Why healing burnout isn't just for you — it's for your community, too - How to take powerful action using the "10 Seconds of Courage" method Real stories from Lily and her clients on what happens when you stop shrinking and start taking up space This is your invitation to stop settling for “good enough” and start creating a life that's audaciously joyful, deeply aligned, and unapologetically yours.

Tiffany Knighten, creatorpreneur and host of Main Character Energy​, believes in choosing self-worth over burnout and rewriting the script on success. After climbing the corporate media ladder and facing constant microaggressions and exhaustion, Knighten made a bold decision to quit her job—and her viral ‘QuitTok' became a rallying cry for the Great Resignation. She shares how that leap led her to build an agency amplifying the voices of BIPOC creatives and women of color, and how embracing anti-hustle culture helped her reclaim her mental health, confidence, and purpose. About Tiffany Knighten: Tiffany's journey began by quitting her 9-to-5 to prioritize her mental health and starting a business that amplified the voices of BIPOC creatives and women of color. Today, she helps her network build their brand, confidence, and community effortlessly. As the host of Main Character Energy with Tiff Knighten, Tiffany delves into the journeys of entrepreneurs and creatives who have successfully navigated rewriting their scripts and channeling audacious self-belief.
