Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike gets raw, real, and radically transparent about the unseen messiness we all carry—and the beauty that emerges when we stop hiding it. From awkward small talk to powerful stage presence, Mike dives into the truth of what it feels like to be fully exposed, seen, and still standing strong. With stories of struggle, solitude, insecurity, and service, this episode is an unapologetic reminder that your imperfections are where your power lives.Whether you feel broken, incomplete, or just tired of pretending you've got it all figured out, this is your permission slip to embrace it all—and to know you're never alone. Mike invites you into his world of radical transparency and spiritual chiropractic, where healing and wholeness come from sharing the whole damn truth.Key TakeawaysRadical Transparency is Freedom The more you reveal, the more powerful and valuable you become. Sharing your shadows is the real path to wholeness.Your Mess is Your Magic There's no need to hide the dark. Bringing your brokenness into the light is where true healing begins.Solitude Isn't Isolation—It's Sacred Choosing peace over peopling can be medicine, but hiding from connection out of fear keeps you stuck.You're Not Alone in the Struggle Everyone—yes, everyone—is working through something. Don't let the highlight reels fool you.Real Transformation Lives in Exposure When you expose your truth, you access your power—and you give others permission to do the same.Notable Quotes“One of the greatest things that we can do is practice radical transparency.”“If you allow the imperfections to feel perfect, if you accept your imperfections, if you embrace your imperfections, you will find the perfection in who you are.”“The more we share what we're actually feeling, the more we share what's going on in our body, when we share what's going on in our life, not only do we feel better, we feel more valuable, we feel more seen, but so will everybody else too.”“Everybody, every single person. And the more we share our messiness—not to get pity and sympathy, not to be validated—but the more we share our messiness, the more valuable, real, raw, the more transformational your life will become.”“It's not just a personality quality. It is that, but in many cases it's driven by fear.”Music Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & FriendsJoin the RevolutionThis episode is a reminder that you're not stuck—you're being called into a deeper version of yourself.

The U.S. women's national team put two more friendlies in the books. What can a 7-0 aggregate scoreline against China and Jamaica really tell us about the side, two years out from the 2027 World Cup? Has Phallon Tullis-Joyce grabbed the starting keeper job? Did Kerry Abello prove herself enough to be called back in? Could Alyssa Thompson even be the better option than Mallory Swanson on the left wing? The guys try to find sticky answers to all this and more (2:50). They also rant about the meanings and attendant absurdities of Alex Straus's arrival at Angel City, Jonatan Giráldez's departure for Lyon, Jessica Berman's and Michele Kang's DEI "gaffes", and the ugliness of Curt Johnson's hire by the Denver expansion franchise (31:20).

All morning I'd been pondering what I wanted to talk about on the podcast this week and what came up was the truth that we must allow ourselves to change, evolve, and continue growing if we are to meet and befriend our True Selves and if we want to walk in freedom, wholeness, and joy.While this may sound simple and obvious, it's brave and hard work. Risky work. In order to grow forward, we must be willing to let go of old versions of Self, old identities, old stories, old patterns that no longer serve us. This conversation married nicely with the current work inside my membership community. So today I also want to share a short clip from a Brave + Beautiful Community Call.

Are you thriving or just surviving? Steve Magness joins Kevin to discuss how many of us operate in psychological survival mode far more often than we realize, treating everyday workplace challenges as threats rather than growth opportunities. They explore the psychological traps of modern stress responses, protective systems, and the impact of flattening our identities. They also cover accepting “messiness”, the balance between short-term comfort and long-term growth, redefining success, and why authenticity must go beyond performance to resonate.

She also shares tiny and powerful daily tips on Instagram to de-mystify therapy and make mental wellbeing easier.In this wonderful conversation, we explore the themes of connection, soul, vulnerability, and embracing and sharing our messiness. We explore what type of relating is possible on the other side of this openness.Ultimately, this episode points to a richness of life that can be experienced when we allow ourselves to be seen.For more of Felicity's work, check out the following:Felicity's website: https://www.felicityreed.co.uk/Felicity's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/felicitypsychotherapy/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, take part in my 5-week What is a Good Life? group courses, discuss experiences I create to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams, or you simply want to get in touch.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- Exploring one-on-one coaching: https://www.whatisagood.life/p/one-on-one-coaching- What is a Good Life?

In this deeply personal solo episode of Transforming 45, host Lisa Boate invites you into a raw and reflective conversation marking her 48th birthday and the 2.5-year anniversary of the podcast. Revisiting the first episode, My Story So Far, Lisa shares the evolution of her journey—through grief, growth, healing, and rediscovering her spark She opens up about the emotional numbness she experienced during life-shifting moments like losing her father, navigating changing relationships, and facing midlife transitions. Lisa explores how grief, uncertainty, and transformation have shaped her identity and how the podcast has been both a creative outlet and a powerful source of healing. Whether you're in the midst of your own midlife transformation or seeking a sense of connection and clarity, this episode offers insight, vulnerability, and hope. It's a reminder that life is messy, healing isn't linear, and community is everything. ✨ Key Takeaways: Numbness was once a coping mechanism—but no longer. The podcast has become a grounding force and a gift. Life is not about arriving—it's about continually evolving. The universe often whispers (or shouts!) what we need to hear. Grief reshapes us—and processing it is necessary for healing. Changing relationships are part of transformation. Messiness is part of midlife—and we need to honor it. We're not meant to do this alone—connection is key.

Unshakeable: Redefining Success on Your Own Terms In the pursuit of success, many individuals find themselves chasing external markers—such as wealth, recognition, or status—believing that these achievements will bring them happiness and fulfillment. However, as discussed in the podcast episode, true success, or "elegant success," is fundamentally about creating a life that aligns with your personal values and brings genuine satisfaction. Host Tonya Leigh explores the concept of elegant success—success that is rooted in personal values, alignment, and ease, rather than societal pressures to do more and be more. Tonya shares her reflections on the importance of creating a fulfilling life that feels good on the inside, as well as the challenges many are facing in today's uncertain world. Drawing from her personal experiences, including navigating her own emotional landscape during difficult times, she emphasizes the significance of managing one's nervous system and internal world to cultivate resilience and peace.  Tune in for insights that challenge traditional definitions of success and encourage listeners to redefine what it means to thrive. Talking Points: 00:33 - Rethinking Success 01:15 - Uncertainty and the Nervous System 03:02 - Leading Through Uncertainty 05:44 - Elegant Success: What No One Tells You 07:08 - The Messiness of Success 10:07 - Life and Business Changes 13:10 - Trusting Your Gut 16:21 - Releasing with Grace 18:05 - Feeling Lost Before Clarity 20:15 - Shedding Old Identities 23:04 - The Emptiness of Misaligned Success 25:01 - Reconnecting with Your Essence 26:05 - Navigating Back to Your North Star Quotes: "What if the real flex is creating a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside?" "Elegant success is creating the life you desire without abandoning yourself in the process." "I've encountered so much peace by just accepting that it's going to feel elegant and then it's going to feel messy again." "You cannot evolve and expect everyone to come with you." "The doubt that you may be feeling, well, it's not failure, it's just feedback." "I started to trade my truth for someone else's checklist, and I was shaping my life around approval instead of alignment."

Doubt your impact as a mother (or a mother figure)? Don't—and we'll tell you why. In this special Mother's Day week episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender dissect the complicated role of being a mom. With days that are challenging, rewarding, or a heavy mixture of both, motherhood may incite guilt or prompt you to question whether you're doing anything right. The good news? If you're doing your best, you're absolutely doing it right. Darlene and Julie share their own personal motherhood anecdotes and offer encouragement for those days when you feel exhausted and uncertain. You have a bond with your child that can't be replicated in any of their other relationships. Even when you're not sure your child hears you or understands you or agrees with you, the way you show them your love will be the thread tying you together even in the most difficult seasons. Quote of the episode: “Even when you're messing up, it's important to remember that God put you here with this child for a reason for a season for a purpose.”—Julie Bender Resources Related "I Made a Change—and It Brought My Prodigal Home" "How Do We Handle the Messiness of Motherhood? with Laila Schell - 168" "A Little Encouragement with Motherhood Is Disappointing" Check out the Smart Living book series here!

If you're somewhere between breaking down and breaking through—this episode is for you! In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami sits down with her Bestie and Soul Sister, Brittany, to explore the raw, unfiltered journey of emotional growth, midlife transitions, and learning to love our mess. From a dietitian who needed to reset her own health to a counselor who realized she needed therapy, this episode dives into the heart of what it means to release guilt and shame around our stories. Together, Tami and Brittany unpack the emotional layers of midlife "crisis" (or awakening), the freedom in vulnerability, and how true healing begins when we stop trying to fix everything and start feeling everything. They discuss how to process anger, redefine success, support other women without feeling like a burden, and hold space without becoming the “fixer.” The episode also explores spiritual signs, intuitive nudges, and the importance of safe spaces where hard conversations aren't just normalized—they're necessary.

The patient-doctor relationship is complicated and fraught. Patients often feel confused and talked down to, in part because doctors feel like they need to project authority. As a physician and a poet, Laura Kolbe is trying to make room for uncertainty and humility from both sides in the exam room. Kolbe's new collection of poetry, Little Pharma, explores the messy and human side of doctoring. And: The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed so many vulnerabilities in our healthcare system, from racial inequities to provider burnout. Irène Mathieu is a writer, pediatrician, and medical teacher. She argues that poetry can be a small part of fixing those vulnerabilities. Later in the show: What if the difference between the right diagnosis and the wrong diagnosis is whether or not a doctor thinks you're believable? Cathryn Molloy shares why education, socio-economic status, and especially gender influence how doctors listen to and treat their patients. Plus: What happens when we empower on-the-ground healthcare workers like nurses with the ability to solve problems and make real changes in their workplace? Nursing and design thinking expert Erica Lewis says the lives of both healthcare workers and patients are transformed.

53 minutes of sheer interview joy!Today's episode is an absolute treat as I welcome the marvellous Amy Margolis, LCSW. Amy is a licensed therapist, co-clinical director of Santa Monica Counseling, and an expert in eating disorder recovery. She's also a seasoned voice actor with credits from Nickelodeon, Netflix, and Disney, but more than anything, she's a passionate advocate for healing and self-worth.This episode is extra special because Amy and I recorded an incredible conversation previously… only to find out it never saved! Luckily, Amy graciously agreed to return, and honestly, I think this conversation is even better.We cover everything from the anorexic mindset and societal conditioning to the power of vulnerability, the illusion of happiness, and how starvation impacts mental health. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone, or just curious about breaking free from deprivation thinking, this episode is packed with insight, wisdom, and practical advice.

In this conversation, Dana K White shares her journey from being a messy person to becoming a decluttering expert, emphasizing the connection between home management and spirituality in her new book: *Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart She discusses the importance of grace, understanding one's unique mindset, and practical steps for decluttering. The conversation highlights the emotional aspects of clutter, the significance of community support, and the need for authenticity in struggles. Dana encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and focus on their hearts rather than their homes (to some extent!). Dana K White's journey began with a messy home and a desire to write. Understanding grace is crucial in managing home and heart. Decluttering is not just about physical space but emotional clarity. The container concept helps limit clutter by defining boundaries. Sentimental items can be kept if they fit within the space. Starting with visible spaces can inspire further decluttering efforts. Daily habits, like doing dishes, can prevent overwhelming clutter. Community support is vital in the decluttering process. Authenticity in struggles can inspire others facing similar challenges. It's important to focus on God's grace rather than perfection.Time stamps:00:00 Introduction to Messiness and Spirituality07:30 The Journey of Decluttering and Grace10:25 Understanding Our Unique Struggles13:30 The Impact of Comparison and Guilt16:23 Mindset Shifts in Decluttering19:22 The Container Concept Explained22:08 Sentimental Items and Their Value31:30 Choosing Regret Over Clutter32:54 Decluttering the Mind and Heart34:22 Starting with Physical Decluttering37:36 The Power of Quick Wins39:53 Daily Routines and Dishes44:36 Understanding God's Perspective on Home47:47 Authenticity in Hospitality52:31 Struggles and Real Life55:06 Dana K.

The Messiness of Mercy | February 23, 2025 by The Lutheran Church of St. Andrew

In this episode, Meg and Maggi explore the complexities of navigating uncharted territories in life. Working towards new goals can be very challenging, especially when the pressures of societal expectations come into play. They discuss their experiences with social media, the importance of community, and the journey of self-discovery. The conversation emphasizes the significance of practicing self-compassion and the value of seeking support while working towards new goals in new seasons of life. They conclude with an inspiring message about embracing imperfection and the importance of being present in the moment.Takeaways: Finding balance in choices is crucial for well-being. Self-compassion is a practice that requires effort. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Social media can foster community and connection. Vulnerability is essential for authentic conversations. Trusting ourselves is a journey filled with challenges. Expectations can create unnecessary pressure. It's okay to change your mind about your goals. Embracing imperfection leads to personal growth. We are all in the arena, striving for our best selves.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Vulnerability in Sharing03:28 The Power of Social Media and Community06:12 Navigating Self-Trust and Unfamiliar Territory09:12 The Messiness of Personal Growth12:15 Setting Goals and Managing Expectations15:12 The Dance of Individual Experience and Collective Influence18:17 Self-Talk and the Importance of Kindness21:20 Practicing Self-Compassion and Reflection31:35 Navigating Uncharted Territory37:21 The Journey of Self-Worth and Body Image42:07 Seeking Help and Support47:12 Making Conscious Choices55:21 Embracing Imperfection and GrowthLove,Meg & MaggiFollow us:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube ⁠Music curtesy of LiQWYD[social media, vulnerability, self-trust, mental health, community, authenticity, personal growth, self-compassion, expectations, journey]

This is the ninth saying in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus said, "Look, the sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. Some fell on the road, and the birds came and gathered them. Others fell on rock, and they didn't take root in the soil and didn't produce heads of grain. Others fell on thorns, and they choked the seeds and worms ate them. And others fell on good soil, and it produced a good crop: it yielded sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure."This doesn't mean what you think it means! Or what the church says it means!
