Every choice we make moves us either toward God or away from Him—there is no neutral ground. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the dangerous illusion of moral neutrality in our personal lives, marriages, and national institutions.When facing overwhelming challenges, a Navy SEAL instructor's wisdom offers surprising spiritual insight: don't focus on the entire journey—just make it to the next milestone. This powerful mindset can transform how we approach seemingly insurmountable obstacles in our faith journey.Diving into Titus 1, we examine God's requirements for church leadership and discover universal principles that apply to all believers: living blamelessly, loving what is good, and maintaining spiritual discipline. Just as athletes understand the necessity of consistent training even when they don't feel like it, our spiritual lives demand the same commitment and dedication.Churchill's fateful decision to ally with Stalin's Soviet Union serves as a sobering historical lesson about compromising with evil. This parallel illuminates our current cultural crossroads in America and Western civilization. Are we willing to sacrifice our principles for temporary peace?Reagan's timeless "Time for Choosing" speech delivers the powerful conclusion that appeasement only leads to greater demands from those who oppose freedom. "If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin? Should Christ have refused the cross?" The choice is never between peace and war but between fighting for what's right or surrendering to what's wrong.Ready to strengthen your spiritual resilience?

"Fear is actually a beautiful, wonderful emotion that we have; it's so important to have fear.” - Sherry ShabanIn this episode of Make Peace with Food, I take you on a deep dive into the unconscious beliefs that shape our health, habits, and relationship with food. Together, we explore how emotional eating, subconscious programming, and even childhood experiences influence the way we show up for ourselves.I also share powerful insights on shifting from scarcity to abundance thinking—because the words we use and the stories we tell ourselves have a direct impact on our health and self-acceptance. Plus, you'll hear from participants who courageously open up about their own struggles and breakthroughs.Topics Covered:Exploring New Perspectives on Health and Unwanted BehaviorsChallenging Unconscious Beliefs for Personal Growth and ChangeMindset Shifts in Overcoming AddictionsTransforming Self-Perception and Overcoming Emotional EatingExploring Worthiness and Self-Love in Personal GrowthParentification and Childhood Responsibilities on the FarmOvercoming Emotional Challenges and Embracing Self-AcceptanceUnderstanding Fear's Role in Eating Behaviors and MindsetsUnderstanding Body Image and Overcoming Mental BlocksIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.Join my 3-Day Break The Cycle Masterclass on April 7-9, 2025.Register here: https://www.sherryshaban.com/breakthecycleYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Download FREE E-Book: https://www.sherryshaban.com/calmBook a Food Freedom Strategy Call with me www.calendly.com/sherryshaban/makepeacewithfoodJoin my Facebook CommunitySubscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode!

Have you ever felt disconnected from your body—or grieved the version of it you used to know? I have. And in this episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I'm talking with disability advocate and author Jayne Mattingly about something we don't hear enough about: body grief, and how it can quietly block our creativity and self-love.Here's what I've come to realize: when we lose trust in our bodies, we often lose connection to ourselves and therefore our creative voice. But when we start rebuilding that trust—even slowly—we open the door to healing, peace, and creative freedom.Jayne created a powerful framework to help us understand and move through body grief, and in this episode, she shares her story, how it applies to you, and how getting into a relationship with your body can shift everything—from how you heal to how you create.From this episode, you'll learn:-What body grief is and how to recognize it in your own life-The 7 stages of body grief and how to move through them-How to begin rebuilding trust with your body—at any stage-Why healing your relationship with your body can unlock your creativityTW: Eating Disorders and Mental Health More on JayneUnleash is Nominated for a Webby Award and we need your help to win!

This weekend, we'll look at conflict through the lens of an Old Testament story that often goes unnoticed. In 1 Samuel 25, we'll see a tense situation that involves three people. Each of them will contribute to the conflict in radically different ways. We'll see an offender, one who is offended, and a peacemaker. Each of them have something to teach all of us as we seek to be disciples of Jesus who, like Him, are peacemakers. NOTE - This is Part 3 of a series of message.

If there's anything our culture likes to collectively ignore, resist and hide, it's aging. And yet, aging happens to every single one of us - whether it's aging parents, aging partners or aging selves, we all have an experience with it.  With age comes the opportunity for nourishment and deeper learning, but aging also comes with some unpleasant emotions and experiences.  Cognitive and physical decline and even loss are all parts of the process of getting older. How do we learn to treat these things as a learning adventure? How do we deal with loved ones becoming shadows of their former selves?  Instead of resisting the things that come with aging, embracing them makes life richer. The skill of learning to be with unpleasant experiences and emotions is one we can learn at any point in our lives, and it certainly comes in handy when we're getting older.  How do we build this skill? What are the gifts of aging? In this episode, we're joined by couples therapist, relationship coach, author, speaker, college professor, trainer, and founding teacher of the Getting Real work, Dr. Susan Campbell. She shares how we can be more prepared for unwanted changes and why that can be an enriching experience.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Use everything that happens for learning When it comes to aging, most people want to resist or ignore what happens. Why do we need to allow what is to be there? -The loop of awareness Unpleasant interactions don't just throw you out of connection with your loved one, they also affect your connection with yourself. How do you find yourself again? -Embrace, don't erase How do we approach the aging population? How do we avoid making assumptions about their reality? Guest Bio Dr. Susan Campbell is a couples therapist, relationship coach, author, speaker, workshop leader, trainer, college professor, certified Radical Honesty trainer, and founding teacher of the Getting Real work. The Getting Real work is a body of communication and awareness practices that foster personal healing and social evolution.

A faculty member at the San Francisco Gestalt Institute and an Adjunct Faculty at Saybrook Graduate School, Susan trains coaches and therapists throughout the U.S and Europe to integrate the tools in this book into their professional practices. In her own practice, she works with singles, couples, co-workers, and work teams helping them communicate respectfully and responsibly when conflicts arise.

“Your transformation, your healing, your journey actually begins in the mind, which means it begins with something as simple as your thoughts." - Sherry ShabanWelcome back to the Make Peace with Food podcast! In this episode, we'll uncover the two most important hormones responsible for fat storage — and trust me, understanding these two is a game-changer. Managing them is key to influencing all other hormones, even if you're navigating menopause, perimenopause, or PCOS. Once you know how these hormones work, you'll have the knowledge to take back control of your health.I also break down how the nervous system, designed to keep us safe, can unknowingly push our bodies into "Protection Mode" — a state that encourages fat storage. You'll learn how this response is often triggered by stress, fear, and a scarcity mindset, leading to cravings, emotional eating, and the exhausting cycle of dieting.But there's a way out. Together, we explore how shifting from restriction and control to regulating your nervous system can create lasting change. Plus, I guide you through a practical hypnotherapy session designed to release fear-based patterns around food and unlock a healthier, more intuitive relationship with your body.If you're ready to stop fighting against your body and start working with it, this episode is for you. Let's take the first step toward true food freedom and lasting well-being.Topics Covered:Understanding the Nervous System's Role in Fat Storage and ReleaseHoarding Behavior During Crises and Its Biological ParallelUnderstanding Emotional Eating and Nervous System RegulationUnderstanding Anxiety, Stress, and the Scarcity MindsetHealing Trauma and Achieving Food and Body FreedomUnderstanding Stress, Hormones, and the Nervous System's ImpactThe Impact of Cortisol and Insulin on MetabolismIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

In this minisode, I'm sharing something that completely changed the way I approach transformation—real, lasting change isn't just about hitting a goal, like losing weight. It's about becoming the version of you who can sustain that success.For years, I secretly struggled with self-sabotaging patterns around food, and the more I restricted my diet or plan, the more I would spiral. It wasn't until I dug into nervous system work, and inner child healing, and uncovered the unconscious beliefs driving my behaviors that everything shifted. Now, through my Make Peace with Food program, I help others break free by addressing nervous system regulation and healing past traumas.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in safety mode.

In this episode, we're breaking down why listening to your body isn't always enough (and why you're not failing if it hasn't worked for you). From sleep deprivation and stress to hormonal fluctuations and hyper-palatable foods, there are multiple factors that can make it easy to overeat when trying to lose fat and difficult to eat enough when trying to build muscle.What I Cover in This Episode:Why hunger and fullness cues can be unreliable when you're stressed, sleep-deprived, or dieting.How appetite hormones (ghrelin & leptin) respond to sleep, stress, and dieting—and why they might be making fat loss harder.Why eating past a calorie deficit is so easy (just 200 extra calories a day can stall fat loss).The reality of muscle gain—why eating intuitively might not get you enough calories to build muscle.PMS, hormones & cravings: why your body actually needs more energy during this time.Thyroid medications (hyper & hypothyroidism) and how they impact hunger, cravings & metabolism.Intuitive Eating Principles I'm Challenging (and What to Do Instead):1️⃣ “Honour Your Hunger”2️⃣ “Make Peace with Food”3️⃣ “Feel Your Fullness”4️⃣ “Cope with Emotions Without Using Food” 5️⃣ “Reject the Diet Mentality” At the end of the day, listening to your body is part of the equation—but if you're struggling to see results, there are deeper factors at play. Tune in for a conversation that's honest, science-backed, and helps you move forward with clarity.Health Coaching Application: Work with me!

Brain Drain Episode 50 with Toby Batchelor & Forde Brookfield

It's a volatile world these days. While Europe wonders if it's just lost its US security umbrella, while a Gaza ceasefire hangs by a thread, while Syria figures out how to hold it together after the fall of Assad, major regional player Turkey looks to get its own house in order with the announced dissolution of a 40-year-old Kurdish insurgency. Why did Recep Tayyip Erdogan and imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan agree to open a path to peace? And why now?  Will it work this time? The pair have tried and failed before to bury the hatchet.We discuss the cross-border consequences in Iraq, where many guerrillas have their base, and in Syria, where Ankara-backed militias are openly fighting Syrian YPG Kurdish fighters, the secular Syrian Kurds who as part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have the backing of US troops as they take on the remnants of the Islamic State group.On that score, will that support from Washington continue? With Iran in retreat and Russia elsewhere occupied, how does the Trump administration see its role?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Ilayda Habib and Aurore Laborie.

On the surface, you'd think that “selling” and “asking” go hand in hand. In reality, salespeople at all experience levels often hesitate, tiptoe around, or dodge direct closes because they're afraid of rejection, worried about coming across as pushy, or insecure about asking. On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount explores why salespeople fear asking for the sale and what to do about it with author and Sales Gravy University instructor, Tony Morris  Every salesperson starts somewhere. Tony Morris started turning a profit buying 10 pounds of sweets from a shop and selling them for 20 pounds. Before that, he sold car washing door to door. But before all that, he spent hours watching his father prep for sales calls in the mirror, honing his language and mastering his message. It drove home one idea for a young Tony: To be a sales success, you have to practice, practice, practice learning how to ask for the sale.  The Fear Factor That Holds Salespeople Back From Asking for the Sale There's an underlying, deeply human factor that derails many capable sales professionals: The fear of asking for the sale. Rejection stings, whether it's a “no” from a potential client or crickets after your presented a proposal you believed was bulletproof.  We fear hearing “no” because we interpret it, consciously or not, as a sign that our competence or worth is lacking. Ironically, the more empathetic and relationship-focused a salesperson is, the more they tend to shy away from scenarios that might lead to an uncomfortable refusal. When you allow the fear of rejection for creep in when attempting to close the sales it often leads to: Hesitation: You wait for the buyer to “signal” readiness, rather than proactively closing. Defensiveness: If a conversation veers toward potential objections, you steer away or gloss over critical next steps. Over-Explaining: To avoid a direct ask, you bury the buyer in details, hoping they'll volunteer a “yes.” Practice Is the Key to Asking Confidently for the Sale Watch any top performer in any field—a pro golfer, a concert pianist, or an elite salesperson—and they often make it look effortless. People assume they were simply “born with it.” In truth, consistent practice is usually the reason they're able to operate at such a high level without appearing scripted or nervous. One reason salespeople hesitate to ask for the sale is that they don't feel comfortable with what to say—or how to say it—when the conversation reaches its critical moment. Practice, especially under realistic conditions, engrains talk tracks, responses to objections, and emotional composure. Practice allows you to lean on muscle memory rather than fumbling for words or panicking at a curveball question or objection. The more you prepare, the more comfortable you are in the moment. When you are well-prepared you come across as “unscripted” and fluid because you're not scrambling to find the right words. You've internalized the dialogue, so it sounds like a calm, authentic conversation rather than a memorized monologue. Make Peace with the Word “No” Time and again, top sales performers cite a simple truth: a fast “no” can be better than a lingering “maybe.” It allows you to save time, refocus energy, and cultivate a pipeline of engaged prospects. Learning to handle “no” as a data point—rather than personal rejection—keeps you in motion. Categorize the “Nos”: Some are “not now,” others are “not a fit,” and a few are “never.” Understanding which type of no you're dealing with can shape follow-up strategies. Seek Feedback: If appropriate, ask, “I respect your decision. May I ask what caused you to decline?” That insight can sharpen future presentations. Stay Professional: Burn no bridges. A gracious exit can leave the door cracked open; circumstances often change. Shift Your Mindset About What Asking for the Sale Really Means Whether you're selling software,

But what if God is calling us into the freedom of life-giving relationships, even by pursuing peace with people we don't really like? If you're dealing with challenging relationships, tune in for this!

"Health is the biggest asset we have."-Hannah Went In this engaging episode of Make Peace with Food podcast, I welcome Hannah, an expert in the field of epigenetics, to discuss the revolutionary impact of epigenetics on health and aging. With both a personal and professional connection to the world of medicine, Hannah shares her insights into how understanding epigenetic markers can empower individuals to take control of their health outcomes. This episode explores how lifestyle factors such as stress management, diet, sleep, and physical activity can influence gene expression and, consequently, biological aging. The conversation delves into the nuances of epigenetic testing, highlighting its role as a powerful tool for personalized healthcare. Hannah explains the significance of DNA methylation in regulating gene expression and discusses how True Diagnostics is at the forefront of offering precise biological age assessments. The episode also emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health, including the impact of mindset and mental health on physical well-being. Tune in to learn how you can utilize the insights from epigenetic testing to make informed lifestyle changes and enhance your longevity.

Biological age, determined through epigenetic testing, can provide more accurate health insights than chronological age. Key lifestyle factors influencing gene expression include sleep quality, physical activity, nutrition, and stress management. The mind's power plays a crucial role in health, with positive thoughts and emotions promoting better epigenetic outcomes.

This was a fun and deep and meaningful conversation with my good friend Jennifer McDaniel. Jennifer is a nutritionist and author, and is the founder and director of McDaniel Nutrition Therapy. I first met Jennifer in early 2022 when I was preparing to run the 106 mile UTMB trail race and she was my assigned nutritionist.  In this conversation we explore a trend that we have been noticing in our culture for many people to move away from social media as well as figuring out other avenues to quiet all the technological noise. We have noticed this move in our work with clients, as well as experiencing a personal shift within us. Ultimately, the conversation gets down to the concept of self-worth and how much of it is often built upon notions of one's producitivty and ability to perform tasks. And how it can be difficult to move out of arenas (such as social media, email, hustle culture/work, etc.) when one's self-worth is often maintained by engagement and productivity in those areas.  Below is a list of authors and books and resources mentioned in the podcast.  Jennifer McDaniel Substack  Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind by Amy Johnson In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership by Henri Nouwen  Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr

Matthew 5:9   For a lot of us, it's much easier and much more common for us to be troublemakers rather than peacemakers. But if we want to follow Jesus, we have to go against that temptation.  There are four ways we can endeavor to be peacemakers:   Make peace with people Make peace between people Make peace with your circumstances Make peace with God   Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.

"The number on that scale does not determine our self-worth." - Lisa Dahl Welcome to the Make Peace with Food show! Today, we are going to deep dive into some common misconceptions and misunderstandings around what it means to be an intuitive eater and what it means to be comfortable at every size. I am joined by Lisa Dahl, an intuitive eating and body image health coach, who has dedicated her life to helping others break free from the diet mentality and find true acceptance and well-being. The diet industry has led us to believe that our self-worth is determined by the number on the scale. We have been conditioned to think that smaller bodies are better, happier, and healthier bodies. But this dangerous misconception has caused immense harm to our mental and physical well-being. Lisa points out that the scale is not a measure of our self-worth or our health. It is simply a tool that has been used to perpetuate the diet culture and keep us disconnected from our bodies. In fact, she encourages her clients to consider getting rid of the scale altogether. She believes that as long as we are attached to that number, we will remain disconnected from our mind and body. Intuitive eating is about reconnecting with our body's natural hunger and fullness cues, and the scale only serves to disrupt that connection. It takes time to learn the language of our body and understand what it needs. It is a process of experimentation and self-discovery. But the rewards are immeasurable. As we continue to spread awareness and challenge the diet culture, together we can create a future where body acceptance and intuitive eating are the norm. So, let's embark on this journey together, supporting and uplifting one another as we navigate the path to intuitive eating and acceptance at every size. Topics Covered: 0:00:02 - Introduction to the conversation and the importance of intuitive eating 0:02:16 - Lisa's personal journey and why she became an intuitive eating coach 0:08:26 - The power of the scale and the importance of disconnecting from it 0:11:06 - The process of becoming an intuitive eater and the importance of self-compassion 0:19:25 - The root causes of using food as a coping mechanism 0:22:32 - Understanding the concept of health at every size 0:25:41 - The limitations of the BMI as a measure of health 0:30:19 - The importance of acceptance and curiosity in starting the intuitive eating journey 0:34:13 - Embracing imperfection and building self-efficacy 0:35:40 - Where to find more information and connect with Lisa Key Takeaways: Intuitive eating is a practice, not a diet, that involves listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues. The number on the scale does not determine your self-worth or your health. Food is the messenger of unmet needs, and emotional eating can be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed. Health at every size means focusing on actions and behaviors that support well-being, rather than striving for a specific body size or weight. Health is a multifaceted concept that includes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.

In this Minisode of Make Peace with Food. I discuss the topic of binge eating and explore new perspectives on understanding and overcoming it. You'll learn the true definition of binge eating and more importantly, understand that it's actually a nervous system issue. During today's conversation, I'll also give you practical insights into how the nervous system influences your relationship with food. By identifying different patterns like emotional eating, nighttime snacking, and the cycle of extreme dieting, we'll look at how these behaviors manifest and how they can be overcome Remember that the first step towards healing is to release self-judgement.  I'm always a resource for you.  We're in this together! Key Takeaways: Binge Eating Defined: Binge eating isn't strictly about consuming large amounts of food; it includes any behavior where you feel out of control with your eating habits. Nervous System Connection: Many eating behaviors, including binge eating, can be traced back to nervous system issues, rooted in our body's response to stress and emotions. Breaking the Cycle: Addressing binge eating requires understanding and adjusting the nervous system states that lead to unwanted eating behaviors. The Role of Emotions: Emotional eating is a form of binge eating, often triggered by discomfort or intense emotions, ranging from anxiety to boredom. Sustainable Change: Real progress with eating habits involves working on the nervous system first, to then comfortably manage and enjoy food choices without excessive restriction.

In this Make Peace with Food Minisode, we're exploring the concept of scarcity mindset and how it impacts your relationship with food. I'm sharing with you my personal struggles with binge eating and how diving deep into nutritional sciences actually is what led to my disordered eating pattern, and how I got out of it by working on my nervous system. I'm also talking about why restricting creates a food scarcity mindset and is the reason behind your binge eating, emotional eating and even night time snacking behaviour that you just can't seem to kick.  If you've been battling with eating habits, feeling out of control or disconnected, you're not alone—and this episode is for you!

There is a time to wage wars, Rabbi Michael Melchior says, and there is a time to make peace.An internationally renowned Jewish leader, thinker, and activist, he has long dedicated his life to fighting for human rights and peace—whether for Soviet Jews in the 1960s or Palestinians and Israelis in 2024. In the past, he was a representative of the Meimad Knesset Party, International Director of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, and founder with the late Sheikh Abdullah Nimer Darwish of the Religious Peace Initiative, where he is still active today. The list of his accolades and accomplishments are long.Now, he joins us to answer 18 questions on Israel, including the Israel-Hamas War, prayer after October 7, and why peace is still possible. This interview was held on Dec. 25.Here are our 18 questions:As an Israeli, and as a Jew, how are you feeling at this moment in Israeli history?What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in its war against Hamas?How have your religious views changed since Oct. 7? What do you look for in deciding which Knesset party to vote for?Which is more important for Israel: Judaism or democracy?Should Israel treat its Jewish and non-Jewish citizens the same?Now that Israel already exists, what is the purpose of Zionism?Is opposing Zionism inherently antisemitic?Should Israel be a religious state?If you were making the case for Israel, where would you begin?Should all Israelis serve in the army?Can questioning the actions of Israel's government and army — even in the context of this war — be a valid form of love and patriotism?What do you think is the most legitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?Do you think the State of Israel is part of the final redemption?Is Messianism helpful or harmful to Israel?Do you think peace between Israelis and Palestinians will happen within your lifetime?Where do you identify on Israel's political and religious spectrum, and do you have friends on the “other side”?Do you have more hope or fear for Israel and the Jewish People?

You're here today, doing the work, living from your Adult Chair, becoming who you want to become.  It feels really good. But as we live and grow and transform, it can sometimes bring up negative feelings about our past. Whether we made mistakes, missed opportunities, were hurt by someone or experienced a life-altering loss, every one of us has something about our past we wish we could change. Regret can cut deep – into our very souls – and bring a lot of pain, shame and blame with it.  But whenever we live in regret, it causes us to miss another opportunity: the chance to make the most of the moment we have right now.  In this show, I'm giving you three common reasons we get stuck in the past and six ways to make peace with your past and start living in the present moment.  You will gain a new perspective on your past and learn to reframe it so you can rewire your brain to live without regret. Listen to discover: 3 reasons we get stuck in the past (and what to do about them) Why living in present reality is so much better than past reality How to reframe how you think about your past 6 ways to make peace with your past Remember, today will soon become your past. Will you look back and wish you hadn't spent it stuck in regret? Or will you make the most of the moment and use the power you have right now to be who you want to be today? The present moment is such a powerful reality to live in. It's here that we find peace and joy. It's here that we have the ability to make this moment one we won't regret.   “The decision that we made in that moment, I don't care how old you were…the person that we were in that moment, we were showing up the very, very best that we could.” - Michelle Chalfant   “97% of the time, our assumptions are incorrect.” - Michelle Chalfant   “Things that happened in our past, no matter if it's a death or someone has done something to us or we made mistakes, it can be difficult to move on, but it's possible.” - Michelle Chalfant   “When we live in the moment, it's a much different reality.

Are you looking to make peace with those around you? The Bible tells us that on the first Christmas, the angels proclaimed peace on Earth when Jesus was born (Luke 2). However, today's world is filled with conflict, making peace seem impossible. While we can't always make peace in the world, we can make peace in our homes and relationships by following Jesus' example. Jesus shows us how to have peace with God and others, teaching us that being a true Christian means actively making peace, not just avoiding conflict. Here are five steps to making peace: Make the First Move: Don't wait for others to fix things; take the initiative. Jesus teaches that reconciliation is more important than even worship  Start with What's My Fault: Instead of blaming others, begin by acknowledging your own mistakes. This helps humble you and opens the door for peace. Confess My Blind Spots: We all have weaknesses we can't see. Recognize and admit your own faults before pointing out others' faults. Wrap the Truth in Love: When speaking truth, do so with kindness and empathy. The way you say something is just as important as what you say. Focus on Reconciliation, Not Resolution: Reconciliation is about restoring peace, even if you don't agree on everything. It's more important to preserve the relationship than to resolve every disagreement. This Christmas, commit to making peace in your relationships, following Jesus' example of reconciliation. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas to find out why peace is important and how you can have it with those around you. #ChristmasEve #Peace #LiquidChurch

Rabbi Elisha Pearl grew up in Flatbush and has spent the last few years studying in the Judean hills, which is where he wrote his groundbreaking book, "Make Peace," which explores the Rebbe's strategic vision for lasting peace in Israel. We were going to discuss the book, but ended up talking about how he found himself it writing it in the first place, how as a young Lubavitch boy his parents moved away from Crown Heights to Flatbush and enrolled him in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin, setting him on a trajectory of being a Lubavitcher individual studying outside the Lubavitch system, including Yeshiva University and various Dati Leumi yeshivos in Israel. We discussed the vantage point afforded to someone who sees things from both the inside and the outside, the challenges that come with it, and what he sees now in what he describes as the "religious revival" taking place in Chabad. ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani. Combining beautiful cinematography with a live performance by a string quartet, this production is a meditation on hope and holding on to a vision even as time passes by.

Hey Josh, thanks for re-inviting me to submit my question. How can I understand the role of vice as a guide during my dark night of the soul and how do I integrate the wisdom it offers while moving towards wholeness? I feel I'm in a big moment in my life of self-discovery. I've had a crazy weird wild year divorcing my high school sweetheart and I met a woman in an ayahuasca ceremony in Peru in June and I love this woman and we've decided to take a separation just, she's been such a mirror and an amplifier for everything for each other, like for everything that she's going through, everything that I'm going through and I just realized like I have had a porn addiction since I was, you know, a child. And I brought that into my marriage and, you know, hit it. And it's very clear how all that kind of manifested. And I just lost the respect, lost all the libido in my relationship. And then, you know, getting that back in this relationship, I've had like no draw towards it at all. But I have just been chasing women since I divorced. But then I found this woman and Everything changed and I wanted to shape it up and everything. And yeah, I just realized now that we're separated that it just comes back. It's like I want to, I want to fuck, fuck and like not think about it. And, but then I don't want to ruin the chances of going back. So I'm just like so torn right now, you know, and it's just, it feels so childish, but it's also so important. Wow. First of all, I can relate. I've shared many times on the podcast that I have struggled in my past with porn. It is a very, very deep black hole. So my heart goes out to you, Jared, for first of all, having the courage to even share this. How amazing is it, Mar, that people that don't even know me, that just listen to our AMAs or listen to the podcast, have the courage to actually speak in the way that Jared just spoke. I mean, it's just so, I'm smiling and my heart is blasted open because y'all, this is what we need. This is what we're all thirsty for. Like, come on, what are we doing if we're not doing this? So Jared, one thing that I heard you say that really flagged my consciousness is you said this porn addiction has been there. But one thing that you really said that hit hard, you said, I've been chasing women. I've been chasing women. And this is actually a real big challenge because my intention today is to deliver my wisdom and Mara to deliver her wisdom so we can stop the war, right? So if we're chasing something or if we're battling should I or should I not, it can feel like a war, right? Mar, I mean, have you ever had times in your life where you had a war in your mind? You're like, what is this war even about? Does that happen to you? Yeah, it happens quite often. Actually, I remember I mentioned it to you last week in our meeting that I had this inner war between the motivation I wanted to have versus the actions I was actually taking to not do anything to avoid doing the things that I actually wanted to do. So there's like this one part of me that wants it and the other part of me that's trying to sabotage me. So that's the inner war I've been dealing with lately. Thanks for sharing because what you just shared is actually what Jared spoke upon and it's what we all do when we are suffering. We look for the meaning. I believe Jared even said, what is this all about? I divorced my high school sweetheart. I'm going through all this pain. Now, Jared, I'm going to say this with respect. You are being called forth to be a man. That's what this is about. I'm 44. I'm still learning how to be an embodied man. I don't have it completely mastered at all, but at 44, I can tell you that when I look back on my 20-year-old self and even in my early 30s, the reason that I was chasing women and I was addicted to porn, and I've said this many times, but it's borrowed wisdom from Gabor Mate, addiction is a disconnection from self or others, right? Addiction is the opposite of connection. So it's the disconnection, it's the lack of connection to self that it's going to find pseudo connection by running outside of itself. Well, meanwhile, your soul is sitting there asking for a connection. That's what this is really about, right? And so I'll speak with respect, but I'll also speak with conviction here. Your pain is the biggest tool for your growth. So you're experiencing porn as an addictive nature, or you're experiencing chasing women and feeling hollow because every man has this biological drive to replicate. Women have it too. But as men, it's been so normalized in our society by Instagram and Pornhub and all these aspects of how women are literally on such a deep level, such a deep level, the objectification of women, that it not only becomes normalized for men, The sad part is many women fall into thirst traps where they unknowingly normalize it with their behavior. Maybe that's a whole separate podcast. What I'm getting out here is like when you are addicted to porn Jared and when going deep into the aspects of any addiction, you have to keep feeding it more. I remember when I was deep in addiction, I had to keep going to more aggressive scenes. I had to keep watching really gross stuff that I went through a massive purging process over. And actually Mar, when we were doing breath work here during our retreat, there was still residue in there that I ended up sharing with the group at 44 years old that I didn't even know I didn't was there. In other words, I had unconscious incompetence to the residue that pornography created in my signature that I got to belch out and burp out and breathe out through my breathwork ceremony. The reason I'm sharing this I chased women too. And I think it's just this really challenging thing that we experience as men because on one hand, you're a biological being filled with testosterone, right? And so when you're in your twenties, like you're basically a walking testosterone stick where you're just looking to hook up and play and do all these things. These things, am I here to say that conscious sex from that place is wrong? No, I'm not. If you really love someone and you feel like you respect them and you have a unique connection, I think that sex is a beautiful way to experience love or that's why they called lovemaking, right? That's the whole point of it all. But what happens is, in uncertainty, myself and all of us as men, we fall into this trap where we reach for something that we can create as certain. And an orgasm or that deep breath after orgasm, or even the feeling of like the rush you get from catecholamines and epinephrine and norepinephrine using porn, masturbating with porn, or using women to masturbate, because essentially that's what unconscious sex is. You're using a woman's body to masturbate with. The reason why this has been so normalized is because souls like you, Jared, are rare. Souls that want to reflect and go deep into why their behavior is showing up in a way that they despise is rare. Now we're making it less rare... [15:30] Spiritual Maturity I'm just so amazed that the layers of awareness feed into each other. I was on a beach in Maui this year with my mentor Margo, who's been on the show before, and she flipped open a Rumi poem. And Rumi says that the cure for the pain is the pain. So the cure for your pain here is to go into the depths of this pain so fully and feel it so deeply that even in you feeling the pain itself, you can develop the skill set and the spiritual and mental maturity to be able to just lift your hand up to pornography and say no at any time. But the only way you can be forged and you can really figure that out isn't from your head. And this is the part that messed with me more for so long. I put blockers on my computer. I did pornography programs. I even went to like an essay meeting because I thought that, oh, maybe I'm a sex addict. The only thing that really healed me was actually a blessing through ayahuasca that so deep into my pain and gave me such a psychic break where I was throwing up in a bucket on the face of my future son with ayahuasca shouting at me so loud saying, if you continue to watch porn, this is what your life will become. You are vomiting on the soul of your unborn son. That was the severity that I needed. I mean, I can still feel that right now, just talking to you about it. And that was 2019. Do you have to go to ayahuasca to have that experience? No, you don't. And actually, for 2 years, I recovered from that experience, which I've talked about many times on the show and with Paul on our episode. I don't wish that experience on anyone, but what it really taught me was It's in the uncertainty and me embracing the uncertainty of what's going to happen if I continue down this road. Well, I'll tell you, friend, once you have enough behavior that puts you in so much pain, you know exactly what's going to happen if you continue down that road. You don't have any uncertainty. The scary part is who would you become without the porn? Who would you be without that relief valve? Who would you be if you were an alcoholic and you didn't have the drink? Who would you be if you were a workaholic and you didn't have an 80-hour work week? Who would you be if you actually turned and faced your family and said, I'm sorry for the ways that I've shown up and I'm here to make it better? Who would you be? It really boils down to an identity, Jared, because the identity that you get to have is that you're never alone. That's what this is all about, man. You're not alone. It may feel like you're alone. It may feel at times that you're on a cliff with no one to save you. But the reality is, is that that suffering that you're feeling, it's going to pass. You know, in the Bible, there's a phrase, this too shall pass. Because everything that is chaos seeks order. That's the law of the universe. Nothing can be in chaos and perpetuity. So how do you confront this corner? Well, first you realize that the dragon is you. You are the one, the aspect of yourself that you're rejecting actually the fuel source for that dragon, for that monster doing pushups... [30:15] Gather, Apply, Embody There's always this fleeting that whispers in our ear when we lay our head down on the pillow at night. And it usually says something like this, there's more to life than this. There's more to life than just going out to the bar with my friends on the weekend. There's more to life than just following football games and Oprah. There's more to life than just taking care of my pets. There's more to life than this. And I'm not here to shame anyone that doesn't answer the call because the call comes sometimes really softly. Sometimes it'll hit you in the face with a fucking sledgehammer. Like the call will be so severe that you can't not answer it. But the courage that we must develop in order to take an honest look at picking up the phone and answering the call of growth, that's the rub, that's the inflection point. That's where the threshold is breached. And Jared, I'm gonna tell you, man, you've already breached the threshold. You're in the perfect place for your healing. So now you're in this phase of the arc of wellness where you're gathering. You're gathering, man. Now it's time for you to apply, right? Because we gather, we apply, and then we embody. It's on the screen right now. We gather, we apply, and we embody. We gather podcasts, we gather conversations, we gather ayahuasca sessions, and then we actually do the things that ayahuasca showed us. We do the things that our meditation showed us. We apply them. Cause I'll tell you going and doing a plant medicine ceremony could still be in the gathering phase. It doesn't mean you've applied it yet. It's only through the application of wisdom that you become embodied in the wisdom that you're seeking, period, full stop. And we all can fall into this trap. So Jared, the only way out of this is right fucking through it. It's right through it, my man. You are going to meet yourself in the next 1 to 3 years in a way that I'm so excited. I like almost makes me want to cry for you. It's so exciting. You're going to meet a part of yourself that's going to be so loving. And when you finally find that part of yourself through conscious, humble inquiry, you're going to cry. There's going to be a reunion. You're going to feel your own heart again, you're going to be able to hold your younger in ways that nobody ever could. He's waiting for you. Young Jared, young Mar, young Josh, young anyone, they're always there for us. They're always there for us. And all they're asking for is just a handhold, a hug, and a conversation in the same way that if anyone's blessed to be a parent, you know that the same way you treat your children is the same way you treat yourself. It's all the same. The way that I'm triggered by my children is the way I'm triggered by myself in life. The way that I make love with my woman or that I treat her or am triggered by her is the same way that I make life. It's the same way that I'm triggered by life. It's all the same, but we think it's different. We fall into this trap of it being linear, of our growth being linear, but I'm here to tell you it is not linear...

Have you ever experienced a covert narcissist trying to make peace? How did that go? Did you walk away feeling better? Or did you walk away feeling like you had just been through hand to hand combat? When a covert narcissist tries to make peace with you, you go through yet another level of destructive interactions. This destruction centers around a facade of sympathy, backwards apologies, intense blame shifting, minimizing their bad behavior, and entitlement in the form of expectations of your forgiveness and "return" to them.   We often talk about intimate relationships here. But today I share a story of someone dealing with a covert narcissist at her place of work. In the work environment, dealing with a covert narcissist is extremely difficult and complex. Setting your own boundaries for yourself becomes absolutely necessary.   I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse. Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone?  Are you searching for people who get it?  Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do?  Are you running in circles in your mind? Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them?  Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world? I can help you! I offer both group and individual coaching, which you can find at www.covertnarcissism.com  Renee Swanson, Certified Coach and Advocate for Victims of Covert Narcissistic Abuse http://www.covertnarcissism.com https://www.tiktok.com/@cngreneeswanson https://www.youtube.com/@cngreneeswanson https://www.facebook.com/renee.covertnarcissism   #Trauma #abuse #gaslighting #narcissism #narcissist #CovertNarcissism #podcast
