Kristian Bailey is a farmer, and he also considers himself a land steward and teacher. At Orais Hand Farm, located across the road from the Mississippi River, he is trying to move away from the idea of human dominion over nature. Instead, he is working in cooperation with it.Kristian talks about farming with “tenderness”: recognizing that Southern land carries wounds (his own farm is on a former plantation site) and that part of his job is to help heal those wounds.Credits:Interview and text, Barry YeomanPhotos, John NoltnerEditing and production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

Chief Devon Parfait spent his early years in Dulac, a bayou community at the watery edge of Louisiana. He caught fish from the dock, bounced on his neighbor's trampoline, and went out on his grandfather's shrimp boat. But Hurricane Rita destroyed his family's home in 2005, when he was 8, setting off years of displacement. The extended family migrated inland and eventually settled in the New Orleans suburb of Marrero. Trauma followed Chief Devon for much of his childhood. Yet even as he struggled in school, the adults in his life believed and invested in him. His predecessor, Elder Chief Shirell Parfait-Dardar, tapped him as the tribe's future leader when he was 12. A mentor, geologist Rónadh Cox, helped prepare him academically until he gained admission to Williams College in Massachusetts. There, studying geosciences, he mapped Louisiana's traditional Indigenous land and discovered that it was eroding faster than the state's coastline as a whole.He imagined becoming chief in middle age. But before he graduated, Elder Chief Shirell called him. “I think it's time,” he recalls her saying. “You are so well equipped to help deal with the issues that we're facing right now.” He finished his undergraduate degree and was sworn in during a small, Covid-safe ceremony in 2022 at the age of 25.Credits:Interview and text, Barry YeomanPhotos, John NoltnerEditing and production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

I used to think financial freedom was a number. Then I became a dad—and everything changed. In this episode, I share my personal journey from the hustle-and-grind definition of success to a more meaningful, family-centered vision of financial freedom. You'll hear how my daughter Logan's health challenges made financial freedom not just a goal, but an urgent mission. I dive into the emotional shifts, the mindset changes, and the practical steps that helped my wife and me build a life that gives us the time and presence our family needs—right now.   If you're a parent who wants more than just a big bank account—and you're ready to start living life on your own terms today—this episode is for you.

In this special episode, I'm sharing a powerful conversation I had as a guest on the Two Comma Club podcast with Jonathan Marsh. We got real about what it means to break free from the traditional 9-to-5, the mindset shifts that changed my financial future, and how I turned my personal finance struggles into a mission-driven business helping thousands of others.   You'll hear my full journey—from crushing $300K of debt to building Budgetdog Academy into a thriving brand. We also dive into the practical tools that helped me, the challenges I faced leaving corporate life, and the strategies I use today to build a business with real impact. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or just ready to take control of your finances, this episode is packed with stories, lessons, and insights to fuel your path forward.   Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [0:43] - Kicking things off with a guest spot on the Two Comma Club podcast [2:19] - Why I believe financial education should be simple and how we built Budgetdog [4:20] - Growing up financially uneducated and learning through self-education [8:08] - The pivotal role environment played in shaping my money mindset [13:04] - The leap of faith: how I left Deloitte after being forced to choose [21:20] - Why resilience and handling resistance is the true key to success [26:17] - Behind the scenes: how we use content, email, and paid ads to grow [30:04] - Game-changing business book: why Traction is a must-read [36:12] - The importance of being real and not selling a fake lifestyle [40:02] - Financial rules of thumb, automation, and building your financial moat [46:22] - How our book, challenge, and academy help people change their lives   3 Key Takeaways   Self-education is a superpower. You don't need a formal background to master your money—you need curiosity, discipline, and the right resources. Automation is freedom. When your finances run on autopilot, you remove emotion and inconsistency—creating space for real growth. Resistance builds strength. Success isn't about avoiding hardship—it's about enduring and overcoming it with intention.   Quoteables   “The person who keeps the bar on their chest the longest builds the biggest chest.” “If someone knows, likes, and trusts you—and you solve their problem—they'll work with you.” “You don't have to be the most talented. You just have to outlast.” “Lock the system, and go live your life.”     Links & Resources   Budgetdog Academy The Roadmap to Financial Freedom by Brendan Traction by Gino Wickman – Business systemization resource Brendan's 3-Day Financial Challenge (more at Budgetdog.com)   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow, rate, and review Money on My Mind.

 Queen of the alliterative series titles, Jordan Millsaps has a new one for us--Marriage on My Mind!  Listen in as we chat about Mallory Bradford and her non-existent breakdown (or so she claims).  See why I opened it up on Kindle the moment we got out of the interview and read as I cooked dinner. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Move over "Boyfriend in the Bargain" series, "Marriage on My Mind" is here, and we're kicking off with a woman who just wants to be a wife and mother--and she's determined to have it.  Her friends... well, they are going for a modified idea and working on enjoying wedding plans... for a nonexistent wedding.   Don't know about you, but I'm eager for the next one!  Mallory Bradford Is Not Having a Breakdown  by Jordan Millsaps I know what I want, and it's pretty simple—a husband. Maybe I sound a tiny bit like a desperate wannabe-housewife, but I like to think of myself as goal-oriented about this situation. Because, unfortunately, I can't do any of the other things on my five-year plan until I've checked that one off. Thankfully, I have great friends who convince me that I don't need a man to do all the things on my list. At their encouragement, I'm jumping into the fun parts of planning a wedding—tasting cake samples, trying on beautiful dresses, and taking dance lessons. I expect it to be a fun distraction to keep me sane while I continue my hunt for a husband. What I don't expect is for my coworker Daniel to volunteer when I need a partner for some of these activities, or for people to continuously mistake him for my fiancé.

Welcome back to Money on My Mind! Today's episode is one of the most personal and powerful I've ever recorded. Despite battling a heavy heart and a tough cold, I felt compelled to sit down and share something deeply important: why we so often sabotage our own financial goals—and more importantly, how to break the cycle.   I open up about recent personal loss and the emotional struggles that come with it, tying it all back to how our mindset and subconscious beliefs can quietly but forcefully derail our money journey. We dive deep into childhood money scripts, upper limit beliefs, fear of success, and the psychological traps that keep us stuck. If you've ever wondered why it feels so hard to follow through with your financial plans, this episode is for you.   Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [0:41] - Why we set goals but never follow through—and why I still showed up to record today [2:15] - How self-sabotage and upper limit beliefs shape your financial ceiling [4:39] - The impact of childhood money scripts and subconscious programming [8:27] - Personal story: learning money lessons the hard way as a kid [13:05] - Fear of success and how our past can create hidden resistance [16:58] - The tribal psychology of money and fear of outgrowing your circle [21:07] - Stockholm Syndrome and why staying broke sometimes feels safer [25:01] - Signs you're sabotaging your success—spending sprees, over-research, and distractions [29:31] - Tools to interrupt self-sabotage and shift your financial identity [39:13] - Journal prompts to help rewire your beliefs and unlock new success   Quoteables “Until people see themselves as someone who handles money well, they'll keep proving the opposite.” “Sometimes we're not afraid to fail—we're afraid to succeed and lose it all.” “Money is energy. Money is value. Money is not time spent.” “If I had money already, what would I be doing differently?” “You don't need to be great to start, but you need to start to become great.”   Links & Resources   https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped   If this episode spoke to you, I'd be grateful if you rated and reviewed the show! Don't forget to follow Money on My Mind and share it with someone else who might need to hear it. Your financial freedom starts with your mindset—let's rewire it together.

What do we think with God? Are the thoughts of anger, guilt and fear thoughts we think with God? Obviously not. There is only Peace and Joy in that Mind. We have to practice holding our mind in that Mind of God. The "brain" is the computer of memory. But the Program of our Divine Connection takes those thoughts we think with God, ones of Love and Peace and Joy, and forms our Mind. "My Mind holds only what I think with God." This is a Fact. Today there are two review thoughts we think with God: "Forgiveness is the key to happiness, " and "Forgiveness offers everything I want." What do we have to lose except the conflicting thoughts we are NOT thinking with God. Amen.

In this deeply personal episode of Money on My Mind, I walk you through the emotional and financial rollercoaster that followed what seemed like the perfect move for our family. We left everything behind to relocate for our daughter's specialized medical care—only to discover our dream home was poisoning her. A hidden mold and mycotoxin issue triggered severe health setbacks and cost us nearly $300,000 in recovery expenses.   From dealing with a rare epilepsy diagnosis to losing almost all our possessions and scrambling to relocate again, this episode is a raw, transparent look at how fast life can shift. More importantly, I talk about the mindset and financial preparation that allowed us to move quickly and decisively—and how this experience completely redefined my understanding of wealth.   Timeline Summary   [0:00] - Why our dream home nearly destroyed our health and finances [1:10] - Our daughter's diagnosis with Dravet syndrome [1:54] - Relocating to Texas for expert care and a miraculous 8-month stretch [2:50] - Seizures return, triggering deeper investigation [4:07] - Blood and urine tests reveal shocking mold exposure [5:56] - Emergency travel to Iowa for treatment amid chaos [7:19] - Realizing we had to abandon our home and everything in it [8:52] - Financial pressure mounts as we scramble to protect our daughter [10:00] - How years of financial planning helped us weather the storm [14:04] - Losing 99% of our belongings due to contamination [15:12] - The breakdown of the $300K cost: housing, health, and recovery [16:46] - What money can't fix—and what really matters [18:46] - How this crisis reshaped my perspective on wealth [20:25] - Preventative measures we've taken to safeguard our new home [21:37] - What are you putting off that's costing you peace of mind?   Key Takeaways   Prepare financially for the unexpected. You never know when a crisis will hit. Building financial flexibility gave us the ability to make life-saving decisions without hesitation. Health is the real wealth. No amount of money is worth more than your family's well-being. Prioritize health investments now before you're forced to later. Don't wait for crisis to force change. If something is causing you low-grade stress or health concerns today, deal with it now—because the cost of waiting can be far greater.     Links & Resources   Infinity Wellness Clinic (Josh, Iowa location) Dravet Syndrome Foundation: dravetfoundation.org Home air quality resources: AirDoctor, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers   If this episode made you think twice about how you define wealth, I'd love for you to rate, follow, and review the show.

Che on My Mind is an impressionistic look at the life, death, and legacy of Che Guevara by the renowned feminist poet and activist Margaret Randall. Recalling an era and this figure, she writes, "I am old enough to remember the world in which [Che] lived. I was part of that world, and it remains a part of me." Randall participated in the Mexican student movement of 1968 and eventually was forced to leave the country. She arrived in Cuba in 1969, less than two years after Che's death, and lived there until 1980. She became friends with several of Che's family members, friends, and compatriots. In Che on My Mind she reflects on his relationships with his family and fellow insurgents, including Fidel Castro. She is deeply admiring of Che's integrity and charisma and frank about what she sees as his strategic errors. Randall concludes by reflecting on the inspiration and lessons that Che's struggles might offer early twenty-first-century social justice activists and freedom fighters.About The Author(s)Margaret Randall, born in New York in 1936, is a feminist poet, writer, photographer, and social activist. After living in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua since the 1960s, she attempted to return to the United States in 1984. Randall had inadvertently lost her U.S. citizenship when she acquired the citizenship of her Mexican husband in 1967. The U.S. government refused to reinstate her citizenship after finding opinions expressed in some of her books to be "against the good order and happiness of the United States." The Center for Constitutional Rights defended Randall, and many writers and others joined in an almost five-year battle for reinstatement of her citizenship. She won her case in 1989. In 1990 she was awarded the Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett grant for writers victimized by political repression. Randall is the author of more than eighty books, including the oral histories Cuban Women Now, Sandino's Daughters, and When I Look into the Mirror and See You: Women, Terror, and Resistance. A documentary, The Unapologetic Life of Margaret Randall, was released in 2001. Randall lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“And I think that's what reading is… It's a personal interpretation of the story, and it may not be the same as somebody else's. That's the whole idea of a good teacher. There should be different interpretations, and sometimes a student will come up with something that I never thought of.” —Sharon M. Draper  Give a story to twenty kids, and you might get twenty different takeaways. Some will catch the details you didn't even notice. Others will pull out meaning that wasn't intentionally placed, but rings true all the same. Sharon M. Draper writes for everyone and fiercely advocates for students' right to read for themselves.Sharon knows the capacity of a book to transport and transform kids; she was the kid who maxed out her library card every Saturday at the Cleveland Public Library. She then became the teacher who read aloud to even the most skeptical students, and the writer whose bestselling novel "Out of My Mind," which was adapted into a film for Disney+ and remains requisite reading for many middle schoolers year after year. A two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner, Sharon is the author of "Stella by Starlight," "Blended," "Tears of a Tiger," and many, many more.In this episode, "Good Luck, They're Yours: Sharon Draper on Giving Students Room to Read," Sharon discusses what it means to trust readers, how her students helped guide her first book, and seeing her stories banned in classrooms. We also talk about church music, spiked lemonade, and how she ended up with a special library card that gave her access to the library's adult section, even as a child.When we asked Sharon to come up with a reading challenge, she was reluctant to give us a list of must-reads. Maybe that's not surprising, given her past frustrations with inflexible required reading lists. In true teacher fashion, she flipped the assignment and gave us a lesson plan. This week's Beanstack featured Librarian is William Schaller, the middle school librarian at Hoffman Middle School in Houston, Texas, for the past seven years!
