At 59 years old, Halle Berry is stepping into her most authentic chapter yet, and she's not asking for permission. In this candid conversation with Hoda Kotb on Making Space, the Oscar-winning actress and director pulls back the curtain on the "invisible" stage of aging, the realities of menopause, and why she is done managing everyone else's expectations. Halle opens up about her passion project, and why she's fighting to destigmatize women's health in a society that often overlooks women once they turn 50. She also gets candid about her partnership with Joylux and her new product, "Juicy Like a Peach," sharing how this innovation helped her reclaim her sex life and why she believes it's time to stop shying away from important conversations about pleasure.

Did you pray till the answer came? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us back to the New Testament church in Acts chapter 4 (KJV) to show what happens when God's people get serious about prayer. The early church prayed, the place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. That same God is still listening today.You might be asking...- Does prayer really make a difference in my church?- What does it mean to "pray through" until the answer comes?- Why are prayer meetings so poorly attended, and does it matter?- How do I pray according to God's will and not just my own?Key points from this devotion:- The success of any ministry is in the prayers of the saints- Acts 4:31 shows a direct connection between prayer, Holy Spirit filling, and boldness- Prayer is not getting God to adjust to us — it is aligning ourselves to His will- Unity in the body follows genuine, corporate prayer- Revival always begins with people who are willing to prayIf this devotion stirred something in your heart, please like, leave a comment below, share this video with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe so you never miss a word from the Word.#WordsFromTheWord #BibleDevotion #HolySpirit #KJV #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

Before she was a trailblazing icon, Laverne Cox was a little girl in Mobile, Alabama, fighting to survive in a world that told her she didn't belong. In this vulnerable conversation with Hoda Kotb, Laverne reflects on the untold story behind her memoir, Transcendent, and the long path to embracing her authentic self. Laverne pulls back the curtain on the survival mechanisms she developed as a child to endure trauma, including the years she spent "disassociating" just to make it through the day. She shares the realization that she was "cared for" but not truly loved, and how she eventually found the strength to forgive her mother and break the cycle of generational trauma. Join us for a powerful discussion on why "staying in the love" isn't just a mantra, it's a life saving practice. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jamie Lynn Sigler grew up in front of the world as Meadow Soprano, one of television's most iconic daughters. But while she was coming of age on screen, she was privately carrying a secret that almost nobody knew: at age 20, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For 14 years, she hid her diagnosis from Hollywood, her coworkers, and her friends out of fear and shame. Now, Jamie sits down with Hoda Kotb to pull back the curtain on a life no longer built on perfection, but on radical honesty. She opens up about her deeply moving memoir, And So It Is, which begins with a terrifying medical crisis involving her young son, Beau. Jamie shares how she broke through the paralyzing loop of childhood trauma through EMDR therapy, what it was like to finally confide in her late co star James Gandolfini, and how she found peace by letting go of the need to pretend she was always fine.

Recent months had been wearing me down as I solo-parented, homeschooled our four kids, and kept up with the everyday life and needs of our home and family. Exhausted and bone weary, I headed out for vacation with my two oldest kids and my mom. I wanted a great vacation, filled with tasty BBQ and ice cream, sunshine, and a day at the beach full of rest and relaxation. Living in Wisconsin, we cherish our summers. We live for warm days where we can be outside, enjoying our beautiful state. The shores of Lake Michigan are full of prairie grass and dairy cows, calming waves, and clean beaches to be enjoyed. Upon arrival, we went directly to the bakery. My mom and I had been daydreaming over flaky, fruit-filled pastries. To our horror, as we walked into the shop, we were greeted with an empty pastry case. They were sold out. Dejected, I grabbed the last loaf of sourdough bread, paid, and left. Would this be how my whole vacation would go? We'd driven four hours, and all I wanted was a great getaway. The next day, we sat and contentedly munched sourdough fruit danishes. (This time we got up early to be sure they didn't sell out.) Checking the weather, we found rain headed our way. "My beach day," I cried inwardly. Consulting the radar, we assessed and made a plan. We could drive an hour in the rain, then get there, swim, and head back in the rain. I prayed we'd get our beach time even with the rain. I was desperate. Arriving at the small town on Lake Michigan, we looked at the sky. "Oh no! We have maybe 30 minutes," my mom reported. We were supposed to have a longer break in the rain, but the sky was darkening before us. We walked out to the old lighthouse, pausing to admire the view. The driftwood peppering the shorelines, the yellow sand, and deep blue waves rolling to their own beat. Yes, my heart needed the wide open spaces that came from being by the vast lake. Finding the swimming beach, we marched to the water. To our horror, we found gray sludge slopping up out of the waves. What!? Rain clouds came closer as we raced to the next beach. Drops started falling as we once again marched toward the water. My son barely reached the sludgy lake before the rain started falling harder and faster. Instead of taking a dip in the lake, he and my 64-year-old mother started running for the car. Defeated, I trailed after. Worst vacation ever. I texted my mother-in-law– "I need a vacation do-over." All I wanted was a great vacation, rest for my weary soul, and relaxation. What I'd gotten wasn't that at all. I drove us back to the house and went for a walk after the rain stopped, talking with God. The dark blue stormy sky is a vibrant backdrop to the cornfield and wildflowers in the ditches. As I walked and talked, I expressed my sadness about my horrible vacation. I pondered why, even though I saw the vast lake and had time relaxing, I still felt weary to my bones. I didn't get an immediate answer. I had to sit with it–my discontentment. During the long drive home, I continued to mull over thoughts. My realization came in the silence of sleeping kids and a phone-scrolling mom. My weariness wouldn't be fixed by a weekend away. It would be better if I habitually rested and sought God. My expectation was that a great summer vacation would fix the fatigue I'd been feeling; instead, I had disappointment and frustration.  However, out of the experience, truth struck me. Yes, vacations are great, and time in God's creation is so beneficial, but it doesn't make up for the lack of physical or mental rest. More importantly, even a good vacation doesn't fill your soul the way that time with Jesus does. In Luke 5:16, Jesus shows us an example of going away from the crowds to spend time with his Father, God. The more I look at my summer routine, the more I recognize my lack of this personal time dwelling with Jesus. As you enter the summer months, I encourage you to plan times to rest your body and soul.  Make time in your schedule to rest. You don't have to take a vacation or trip in order to make the downtime; simply plan for it. Be intentional with your Summer plans. Leave space for down days when you can relax. Enjoy quality time with others who encourage you to grow in your relationship with Christ. Gritty Faith Magazine is a beautiful, year-round magazine with wonderful articles for Christian women. You can get their free daily prayer emails or order a magazine here.  For more writing, encouragement to rest, and running your business from a Christian perspective, follow me on Instagram.

Lu spent most of her life as a great sleeper. Then, six weeks after having her first baby, a painful mix of pressure, anxiety, and one sleepless night made sleep feel difficult for the first time. Over the years, insomnia came and went. Medication helped her through some difficult periods, but Lu still felt stuck and afraid of the part of herself that struggled at night. In this episode, Lu shares how self-compassion, a more workable response to wakefulness, and adding meaningful actions back into her days helped her build trust in herself again — and allowed her to emerge from the insomnia struggle as a stronger, more confident, and more resilient person.

In this episode of The Genesis Frequency, Dr. Stephen Kosmyna explores the transformational power of release—physically, mentally, and emotionally. From clearing clutter in our homes and workspaces to releasing unhealthy habits, limiting thoughts, worry, stress, and emotional heaviness, this message reveals how letting go creates space for new energy, clarity, vitality, and opportunity.This episode is not about giving up—it's about recognizing what no longer supports the life we are trying to build. Through practical insight and personal development principles, listeners are encouraged to simplify, renew, and intentionally create room for growth, health, creativity, and transformation.Sometimes the first step toward receiving more in life is finally becoming willing to release what no longer belongs.

Let me ask you something, Thrivesters.  When was the last time you took a hard look at your life and asked:"What's no longer serving me?"Not what's annoying. Not what's inconvenient.WHAT IS ACTUALLY DEAD WEIGHT?Because here's the epiphany I had this morning…You can't grow new blooms while you're pouring energy into dead wood.In this episode of The Thrive Hive Podcast, we're taking another lesson from my hydrangeas and applying it to something much bigger: your life.As I was pruning my hydrangeas today, I found myself thinking about how often we hold onto things that have long stopped serving us - relationships, commitments, habits, routines, beliefs, even versions of ourselves we've already outgrown.And just like the beautiful hydrangeas, when we leave the dead wood in place, that dead wood consumes energy that could be fueling something beautiful.Here's what we're diving into:The Hydrangea Principle - why thriving requires regular pruning, not just planting.Recognizing Your Dead Wood  -  how to identify the people, habits, obligations, and thought patterns that are quietly draining your energy.Why Letting Go Feels So Hard - the guilt, fear, and identity shifts that often keep us holding on longer than we should.Making Space for Growth -  because every time you remove something that no longer belongs, you create room for joy, possibility, and what's next.The Power of Seasonal Check-Ins  -  why thriving isn't a one-time event. It's an ongoing practice of noticing, adjusting, and realigning.Thriving isn't about adding more, Thrivesters. Sometimes it's about removing what's standing in the way.Your bold, quick action step:Make a list of three things currently draining your energy. Then ask yourself: "What would happen if I stopped feeding this?" Links & Resources:Thrive Hive Coaching: https://forms.gle/omjSjMK4UTafn8SQAFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDJoin the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠ https://the-thrive-hive-with-nancy-medoff.kit.com/597e99564dVisit my website: https://nancymedoff.com/

Visit mikevardy.com/focusaur to learn more.Patrick Rhone is back, and so is PM Talks — the monthly series where Patrick and I take our time with one idea and actually see where it goes. This is Season 3, Episode 5, and Patrick has just returned from a trip to Greece with his family — a trip built around anniversary celebrations, Mamma Mia filming locations, and the kind of serendipitous moments that only happen when you're open enough to notice them. It was a perfect setup for the conversation that followed.Because the thread running through everything we talked about — travel, family dynamics, technological change, self-judgment, and the way small kindnesses move through the world — turned out to be the same one: grace. Grace is also one of the principles at the heart of my upcoming book, Productiveness, which made this one feel especially fitting to sit with. If you've been wondering what that book is actually about, this episode gives you a meaningful glimpse.Six Discussion Points:Grace starts with goodwill — not as a feeling, but as a practice. We dig into what it actually means to operate with grace day to day, and why it takes more intention than most people give it credit for.Travel is one of the best teachers of grace around. From adjusting to late dinner culture in Greece and Portugal to ordering a chicken by pointing at the ones still running around a yard in the Philippines, travel asks you to meet the unfamiliar with openness rather than resistance.Balancing everyone's needs on Patrick's Greece trip required grace in a very real, logistical way — from his daughter's Mamma Mia pilgrimage to his and his wife's 20th anniversary. The fact that everyone left feeling like the trip was complete says a lot about how that went.I share a real-time example of reacting instead of responding — a strongly-worded email, a refund request, and some after-the-fact digging that made me feel briefly foolish before I decided to give myself some grace about the whole thing.We get into grace and cancel culture, and the difference between holding someone accountable and refusing them any room to grow or change. It is okay to change your mind. In fact, it might be one of the most graceful things a person can do.Small acts of grace echo further than you think. Patrick's daughter writing thoughtful notes to the colleges she's declining. Paying for a stranger's coffee without mentioning it. You don't know what someone is carrying, which is exactly why grace doesn't need full information to operate.Three Connection PointsPatrick Rhone's website — the best place to start to find everything Patrick has going on.Productiveness — my upcoming book, where grace appears as one of its core principles.New to the show? I've been putting out solo episodes of A Productive Conversation as well — here's one right here. You can also find them in your podcast app of choice.Patrick and I covered a lot of ground this month, and I think that's because grace is one of those ideas that shows up everywhere once you start looking for it. Whether you're navigating a foreign dinner schedule, giving someone the benefit of the doubt, or just deciding not to beat yourself up over a to-do list that didn't get finished — grace is the practice underneath all of it. We'll be back next month for another round of PM Talks, and in the meantime, I hope this one gives you something worth sitting with.

After much reflection, I've decided to conclude the podcast.In this final episode, I share about entering a season of pause, simplifying my life, and creating more quiet space for clarity, creativity, and reflection. Over the years, this podcast has given me the opportunity to connect with incredible guests and listeners, and I am deeply grateful for every conversation and every message from those who felt inspired, encouraged, seen, or understood through this space.Lately, I've realized that sometimes clarity does not come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from stepping back, slowing down, and making room for what might emerge next.From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey with me. Thank you for listening, for supporting the podcast over the years, and for allowing me to be part of your career and professional growth journey.Support the show

When have you had to let go of resisting suffering in the past? Where in your life, marriage, or relationships do you feel stalled? How is God inviting you to prioritize Him over your marriage, relationships, and responsibilities?   Quotes to Ponder: "It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal." (Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day, Rome, 2000)   Scripture for Lectio: "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer."
