In this empowering episode, Laura is joined by Pamela Gelie, Founder of URise,  for a heartfelt and practical conversation on what it truly means to redefine balance…especially as Black women navigating multiple roles, expectations, and seasons of life. Pamela shares her personal journey of pursuing greater freedom, meaning, and values alignment, including how her search for balance ultimately led to a career pivot. Together, Laura and Pamela explore how balance is not a fixed destination, but a living, evolving practice shaped by our responsibilities, our resilience, and our willingness to honor what we need. This episode also dives into the complex relationship many Black women have with resilience. While strength is often celebrated, Laura and Pamela discuss how the "Strong Black Woman" trope can sometimes make it difficult to soften, rest, and be fully human—especially in moments when we don't want to bounce back quickly. Aligned with Season 8's theme "Leaning Into Joy," this conversation invites listeners to consider balance as a pathway to joy; one that prioritizes inner clarity, wellbeing, and intentional living over perfection or constant performance.   About Pamela Born in France to Afro-Caribbean parents, Pamela grew up between cultures and learned to adapt across worlds. A decade in London shaped her career leading customer experience in global organisations across the UK and France. Those years taught her how to deliver at scale while navigating complexity and multicultural environments. Illness, mental health challenges in family and discrimination tested her but also built resilience and empathy. Motherhood deepened her drive to create freedom and balance for her kids and the next generation. Today, she channels her journey and a profound sense of ''Give Back' into URise, the company so founded to turn lived experience into impact. It allows her to blend leadership, purpose and reinvention in equal measure.

On 18 December 2013, 20-year-old Heather Elvis disappeared from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, after receiving mysterious calls from a payphone. She'd had an affair with married man Sidney Moorer, whose controlling wife Tammy had ended it violently months earlier. That night, Sidney called Heather from a payphone at 1:35 a.m. She called back nine times. At 3:17 a.m., she drove to Peachtree Landing to meet him. Her phone died at 3:41 a.m. and was never used again. Her car was found abandoned the next day, keys in the ignition. Both Sidney and Tammy Moorer were convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to 30 years each, but neither has ever revealed what happened to Heather. Eleven years later, her body has never been found, and her family still searches for answers.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Where Amateurs Play Like Pros! This week on the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, we bring you everything that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour & Senior Amateur Tour special: unforgettable moments, hard-earned victories, and the kind of camaraderie that defines our golf community. We kick things off with Champ Flight standout Ty Taylor from the El Paso Tour, fresh off his third hole-in-one, and maybe the quietest ace in Golfweek Amateur Tour history. No roar. No fireworks. Just a striped six-iron into the wind at Rio Mimbres… and then the realization that it disappeared. Classic. Ty walks us through: His 190-yard par-3 ace in brutal Deming wind Why he almost kept playing the hole-in-one ball (rookie move avoided) How he's stacked up 55 birdies, 4 eagles, and 5 wins in 31 Amateur Golf tournaments Why eliminating “hero shots” is the key to better scores in Competitive Golf Events If you're a high handicapper trying to level up your tournament game, this is gold. The difference between Champ Flight and the rest? It's not magic. It's avoiding triples and playing smart. Then we shift to Hilton Head Island for coverage from the Senior Icebreaker Regional, one of the most relaxed, competitive, and fun stops in our National Championship season. We hear from: Eli Villanueva (Champ Flight) - From 7 back to playoff victory Keith Breazeale (A Flight) - Steady 80-80 consistency under pressure Michael Anderson (B Flight) - Two-time Senior National Champion, doing what he does best David Yi (C Flight) - 88-88 and walks away with the win Butch Novak (D Flight & Tour Director) - Playoff victory and a Firestone plug This is what Amateur golf tournaments are about. Different flights. Different journeys. Same competitive fire. We also get a Myrtle Beach tournament update from Chris Rocha as he preps for a team event and breaks down the strategy behind managing weather, tee times, and team scoring. If you love tournament golf, competitive strategy, and stories from everyday golfers chasing the next great round, this is your golf podcast for everyday golfers. Listen. Compete. Travel. Win.

We continue today looking at "God's Miraculous Plan of Economy." Someone has described one of the great sins of our day to be "The Sin of Sermon Listening." That means some people may hear a sermon, no matter how inspired it may be as a message from God, but then these go their merry way in everyday living without applying God's message to their daily lives. If God has a great, miraculous plan to guide us in an unsteady economy, then the question arises, "Why Give?" That's what we are thinking about today.

Send a textWelcome to a very special edition of the program.Today, we dedicate this episode to a man whose voice, vision, and moral urgency helped shape the American political and social landscape for more than half a century — Reverend Jesse Jackson.From the civil rights movement to the national political stage, Jackson's journey is inseparable from the story of modern America. He stood at the crossroads of protest and policy, faith and activism, idealism and pragmatism. He spoke not only of justice, but of possibility — insisting that the circle of opportunity must always widen.In this tribute episode, we reflect on that remarkable life and legacy.You'll hear a retrospective drawn from CNN and Chicago's ABC News — revisiting the moments that defined a movement leader, presidential candidate, diplomat, and advocate for economic and racial justice.We'll listen to a conversation with former Atlanta Mayor and Ambassador Andrew Young, offering personal insight into Jackson's courage, convictions, and enduring influence.We'll also revisit a powerful interview recorded the morning after Barack Obama was elected President of the United States — capturing Jackson's emotion at a moment many saw as the realization of struggles decades in the making.From the 1980s, we bring you archival coverage of Jackson speaking at Duke University — where his words challenged audiences to think bigger about equality, responsibility, and shared destiny.And in a lighter but unforgettable cultural moment, we remember his beloved reading of Green Eggs and Ham — a reminder that leadership can inspire not only through speeches, but through humanity and joy.Finally, we'll share a five-minute excerpt from his historic 1988 Democratic National Convention address — a speech that remains one of the most eloquent calls for unity and compassion in American political history.And we're honored to announce that, on March 2nd and March 3rd, we will rebroadcast Reverend Jackson's full 1984 and 1988 Democratic National Convention speeches.This episode is also dedicated to two individuals whose lives touched our worlds in different, meaningful ways.To Robert Duvall, an artist whose performances brought depth, dignity, and unforgettable humanity to the screen.And to Myrtle Beach author, activist, and amateur radio operator E. Gordon Mooneyhan, whom we lost this past year. Gordon was a man of boundless curiosity and creativity — a lover of writing, photography, trains, and ham radio. He authored the Railroad Dining Car Cookbooks, chronicled the lives of friends through his books, held a degree in business administration from Coastal Carolina University, and served his community with quiet dedication — as a member of Seaside Masonic Lodge #419, the Grand Strand Amateur Radio Club, and a volunteer at the Emergency Operations Center during times of crisis.Today's program is offered in the spirit that connects all three of these lives — purpose, passion, and the belief that one person's voice can make a difference.Thank you for joining us.

But as the miles drop, the tension rises. Between the suffocating silence of a dead Myrtle Beach and the unraveling mind of her companion, Marco, Lois must face a terrifying truth: the wasteland isn't the only thing trying to kill them.

We continue today looking at "God's Miraculous Plan of Economy." Some may think that this subject should not be addressed in the pulpit, that we should think more of "spiritual" things. But if there is anything in our lives which presents a problem or challenge for us, God has a way to help us, and He is ready, if we will listen to Him and fit into His plans. Today we will look at what is truly a miraculous plan that God offers to help us. It is "The Miracle of Giving."

Check out Rental Property Pro:  https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign    290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri   Jen Josey kicks off this REIGN "Past Project" episode with a Badassery Bestowment on turning family and friends into private money lenders—without wrecking relationships. She walks through how to lead with education, focus on safety and clarity, keep terms simple, use professional paperwork (title company/attorney), and communicate like a CEO so lenders feel protected and respected.   Jen then welcomes first-time podcast guest Chandra Adduri, a New Jersey-based tech professional and long-time investor with an 18-property, multi-state portfolio. Chandra shares how his upbringing in India shaped his "invest in land/assets" mindset, why mentorship matters (shoutout to Rental Property Pro and John Blackburn), and how buying out of state helped him avoid the "DIY trap" that kills scalability.   The featured project is Chandra's newest acquisition: a 3 bed/2 bath beach condo in a Myrtle Beach resort community, purchased to expand into short-term rentals (STRs) and leverage STR tax advantages. He breaks down why he likes HOA amenities for competitiveness and convenience, how he financed with a specialized "condotel" loan, what he changed to stand out (colorful furniture + crisp white linens), and what it really takes to self-manage STRs—systems, fast responses, and a reliable local team. The episode wraps with Jen's BADASS acronym segment, covering Chandra's favorite book, advice, goals (including acquiring a home services business), and his definition of success: buying back time.   00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Today's Episode 00:58 Badassery Bestowment: Turning Family and Friends into Private Money Lenders 03:44 Meet Today's Guest: Chandra Adduri 04:59 Chandra's Real Estate Journey and Background 09:56 Exploring Short-Term Rentals and HOA Benefits 15:19 Financing and Furnishing a Short-Term Rental 18:30 Coffee Maker Tips and Initial Advice 18:44 Breaking Down the Numbers 19:04 Cash Flow and Tax Benefits 20:38 Long-Term vs Short-Term Rentals 21:48 Managing Short-Term Rentals 22:48 Building a Reliable Team 25:40 Future Plans and Goals 27:49 BADASS Acronym Breakdown 34:32 Final Thoughts and Success 5 key takeaways Private money works best when you educate first, not pitch first—and you protect relationships with clarity, structure, and consistent communication. Out-of-state investing can be a "self-control strategy" if you're tempted to DIY every repair; distance forces you to build a team and scale. Resort/HOA STRs can be a competitive advantage because amenities (pools, lazy river, hot tubs) help you stand out without personally managing them. STRs are hospitality, not landlording—expect constant questions, fast messaging, local-area knowledge, and SOPs for cleaners/handymen. Chandra's Myrtle Beach deal shows how STRs can be bought for cash flow and tax strategy (cost segregation + bonus depreciation), especially for high W-2 earners. Chandra Adduri Chandra Adduri is a New Jersey-based tech professional on the engineering side of the industry who has spent the last decade building a data-driven real estate portfolio. He owns 18 properties across multiple states, including New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida. Known for his systems-first approach and strong local "dream teams," Chandra is now expanding into short-term rentals to explore growth potential and tax advantages while continuing to scale with disciplined operations.

Bomb cyclone over North Carolina… Ambience. This week's episode covers the major coastal storm as heard from the coastal plains Carolina (i.e., my twin's house). Her recording (thank you!) captured wind, snow, and birds sheltering nearby. I also filled out the recording with added notes and sounds (I'm really into ambience with non-music motifs).And as everyone who has followed this podcast should know, I am a fan of fans. (We're starting with fans?) One distant summer night in Myrtle Beach, I sat bolt upright fast enough to catch the sound of an explosion in its negative phase. Light-headed and feeling each beat of my heart pulsating through my eyes and ears, my brain trying to re-engage consciousness.  I looked around in the dark. Ghostly echoes of thunder washed over me. The wind picked up and lashed raindrops into the window. A flash of light ignited the room, and I was staring into the pale visage of a little girl's face, wide-eyed.I screamed.This was the thunderstorm that ruined me for thunderstorms. I experienced the eye of Hurricane Hugo (Kershaw County, not Charleston), and my memories aren't as vivid of that hurricane as they are of that brief, terrifying Myrtle storm. I can remember everything from the moment I was ripped from my dreams to my father plugging in a large box fan next to my bed.After recovering from the face-flashing jumpscare, it was my twin staring at me—we summoned the courage to wander down the hall of the efficiency motel room to where my parents slept. We ripped them out of their sleep and beckoned them to look out the windows. The sheer unsettlement of the night sky—Do something.A blinding flash enveloped us in white. And just before the collection of sounds that make up thunder hit my ear, I swear I heard a sizzle rip by first. Sparks fell across the street from a power line. I backed away from the windows, reeling—the room's oven flashed and sparked with small tendrils of electricity.I shouted, “The oven's on fire,” because I had no idea how to describe what I was seeing.“The oven is not on fire,” my mother said, furious. And I can understand why; if she were writing this podcast description about the experience, it would be: waking to children screaming, a massive white light filling the room, a shattering thunderclap, and her son shouting “fire!”“Sometimes lightning can sneak in through the wires,” my father explained after sorting out what I had seen. And I was like, “Wait—it can get inside?!” urgently gesticulating toward the windows and the flashing forks of electric death.This is why I sleep with noise at night—preferably rushing wind, whether electric or naturally created. To drown out the possibility of hearing thunder.Essentially, all of what I have written so far can be boiled down to my trying to conjure a title for this week's episode. I wanted to offer howling winds as anxiety relief. And my beloved wife interjected that I should offer calm winds for anxiety, as people might not feel calmed by rushing wind. And I was like, “CALM WINDS DON'T CALM ME!”The argument eventually ended with accusations that I never do the dishes. Happy Valentine's Day! (Oh no wait that's next week)

Most people in America, and other countries as well, are aware of the many changes we face in our lives. One area of change which affects everyone is that of the economy in which we live.

What does God have to say that will help us? Let' explore that together.

The older we get, and hopefully, the more maturity we have, we look at our lives and sometimes ask, "What contribution is my life making in this world which will be lasting after I am gone?" Surely there are things more important than having a large bank account, material things, or words of praise that might be said at my funeral. Today we will be taking the long look at some important ways in which we can make our life count.  We'll be looking at several Bible references, and our key Bible verse is Paul's statement in Philippians 4:13.

Is travel’s affordability crisis reaching a boiling point? Rafat Ali thinks it may be. A veteran business journalist turned travel media entrepreneur, he is the founder of Skift, one of the world’s leading travel business websites. And he has been one of the industry’s most outspoken voices on the trouble brewing with travel’s high prices. Rafat joins this episode of the podcast to discuss the affordability issues dogging travel in 2026 — and how they may be driving customers away. He shares why profit maximization may be working against travel companies and how group travel may be one of the keys to making travel more affordable to the middle class. Plus, we have news about Delta’s growing premium sector and a Hot Minute about why you must clarify your core values in 2026. Insights from Rafat Ali Rafat had lots of insight about why travel got so expensive in the past few years — and why that trend is probably unsustainable. Here's what she had to say about how the post-pandemic travel surge is changing: “The conventional wisdom became after COVID that people have reprioritized travel over other things. We have said that 100 times. But the numbers now are showing that travel's wallet share has decreased in the last two years by four points, from 12% to 8%. And that means in the hierarchy of needs wants, travel has fallen back down to where it was before.” Plus, he had great perspectives on: Whether travel vendors have any flexibility on pricing Automation ideas that could ease labor costs in travel Destinations offering great, affordable experiences Resources Mentioned in This Episode Learn more about Skift and subscribe to the daily newsletter at skift.com.

Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent his career studying manipulation, deception, and how predators operate. When he looks at the JP Miller case, he sees a textbook pattern of coercive control — and an indictment that only scratches the surface.According to federal charges, Miller tracked his estranged wife Mica with GPS devices, contacted her more than 50 times in a single day, posted intimate photos of her online without consent, and sabotaged her car — then lied to FBI investigators about it. Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024, just 48 hours after serving him divorce papers.But the indictment doesn't capture the years that came before.Sworn affidavits describe isolation, financial manipulation, threats, and constant surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was ten years old. His first wife Alison filed an affidavit alleging he confessed to affairs, hiring prostitutes, and being "sexually inappropriate" with underage church members. She says she went to police in 2015. They told her no one would believe her.Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both name his father as a co-defendant and allege their churches enabled abuse for decades.And then there's Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran who drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool on Labor Day 2021. His widow Suzie is now JP Miller's third wife. According to Alison's affidavit, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with Suzie just two weeks before he died. JP officiated Chris's funeral.Miller pleaded not guilty in federal court, then slipped out a back door while seventy people waited.

Today's poem is Vacation by Sara Moore Wagner. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “It feels like a quintessential American experience, taking your kids to the beach. I remember trips to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Ocean City, Maryland, when I was young — road trips in the family minivan, because it was more affordable to get a family of five to the coast by car than by plane. (My first flight wasn't until I was twenty years old, but that's another story for another day.)” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

John-Paul Miller appeared in federal court and pleaded not guilty to charges that he cyberstalked his estranged wife Mica Miller and lied to FBI investigators. The former Solid Rock Church pastor now wears an ankle monitor and faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.More than 70 people packed the Florence, South Carolina courtroom. Prosecutors argued Miller is a flight risk and a danger to the community. The judge set bond at $100,000 with strict conditions: ankle monitor, no contact with victims or witnesses, surrender his passport, no firearms, no excessive alcohol. When the hearing ended, Miller slipped out a back door while his attorneys addressed the crowd.The federal indictment details a pattern of alleged harassment spanning November 2022 through April 27, 2024 — the day Mica died. Prosecutors say Miller placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her more than 50 times in a single day, interfered with her finances, posted a nude photograph of her online, and damaged her tires. When the FBI asked him about the tire damage, he denied it — but investigators had receipts showing he'd purchased a tire deflation device online.Mica Miller was 30 years old when she died at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. She had served JP divorce papers just two days earlier. Authorities ruled her death a suicide, but the circumstances have fueled national outrage and an ongoing federal investigation.This case also connects to another death. Chris Skinner, a quadriplegic Army veteran, drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool on Labor Day 2021. His widow Suzie is now married to JP Miller. According to a sworn affidavit, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with his wife just two weeks before he drowned.We break down what happened in court, what these charges mean, and what's next.#JPMiller #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #ChrisSkinner #TrueCrimeToday #FederalCharges #Cyberstalking #MyrtleBeach #SolidRockChurch #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

JP Miller pleaded not guilty in federal court — then ducked out a back door while protesters filled the courthouse. The federal case against the former Myrtle Beach pastor has officially begun.Federal Magistrate Thomas E. Rogers III set bond at $100,000 with conditions that include an ankle monitor, no contact with victims or witnesses, surrender of his passport, no firearms, and no excessive drinking. Prosecutors told the court Miller is a flight risk and a danger to the community.The indictment paints a disturbing picture: tracking devices on Mica's car, over 50 contacts in a single day, a nude photo posted online in what JP himself called an attempt to "hurt" her, and a tire deflation device he purchased online then lied to investigators about. This wasn't a moment of anger. According to prosecutors, it was a pattern — one that lasted from November 2022 until Mica's death in April 2024.Mica Miller told police her husband had "groomed" her since she was ten. She was trying to escape. She filed for divorce. She sought a restraining order. She told officers she was "afraid for her life." Two days after JP was served divorce papers, she was dead.But the questions don't stop with Mica. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic veteran — drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool in 2021. His widow Suzie married JP Miller in June 2025. According to a sworn affidavit from JP's first wife, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with Suzie just two weeks before his death.Two dead spouses. One federal indictment. An ankle monitor. And a trial that will finally put JP Miller's version of events to the test.#MicaMiller #JPMiller #JusticeForMica #ChrisSkinner #FederalIndictment #Cyberstalking #TrueCrime #SolidRockChurch #CoerciveControl #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For almost 20 months, investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠, ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ and ⁠Beth Braden⁠ have covered the Mica Francis case. They've filed dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, listened to hours of recordings, gone through stacks of police reports, court documents, transcripts and text messages to piece together what the final months, weeks and days of Mica's life looked like as she tried to extricate herself from her husband, “Pastor” John Paul Miller.  On April 27, 2024 — the day Mica killed herself in a remote part of a North Carolina swamp — JP was the leader of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where he had built, destroyed and rebuilt his megachurch all while, according to records and accusations made by family, friends and former church members, using his position of power and his so-called connection to God to bully, harass and torment his young wife, Mica — all the while denying wrongdoing and escaping accountability.  On Dec. 18, 2025, the United States Government announced that JP Miller (finally) was going to be held accountable for his alleged actions against Mica, who investigators say killed herself as a result of JP's threats and abuse.  He has been charged with one count of cyberstalking for his alleged actions between Nov. 16, 2022 and the day of Mica's death and one count of lying to federal investigators. Today we're enjoying vindication and a day of celebration that Mandy and Liz hope will have more people talking about the effects of coercive control abuse.  So much to cover, so let's dive in!
