What if reclaiming your sovereignty from generational trauma begins with walking through the labyrinth of your ancestors' pain and reclaiming your heart?I didn't remove my breast implants because of pain—I removed them because they were a symbol of something much deeper. For 20 years, I carried them as a way to survive, to conform, and to avoid the truth of my body and soul. But in April 2025, I walked into the center of my labyrinth and made the choice to make the final turn in the labyrinth that would take me back to my heart finally.We are back, Sovereign Sisters! And in this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I share the truth behind my breast implant removal surgery, and the five lessons I learned that led me to liberate my heart from an intense journey of generational healing. This was not just a physical transformation—it was an emotional and spiritual reclamation of my heart and my lineage. It was coming to the center of the labyrinth, a journey I started in 2015.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why I chose to remove my implants after 20 yearsHow much it cost, recovery, breast lift informationHow generational trauma shows up in the body and heartThe moment I released the weight of my ancestors' pain and came home to myselfThe impact of people-pleasing and spiritual bypassing on healing as you return pain back to others instead of carrying it for themHow Kundalini Yoga Therapy tools helped me heal on a deeper level and not take pain medsWhat true surrender looks like—and how it rewires your identityHow I returned the pain to its source and embraced my ancestral giftsThe difference between martyrdom and resurrection in Christ's teachingsThis journey was my labyrinth—one path leading me to the heart of my soul and the truth of my lineage. If you've ever felt like you're carrying more than your own pain or struggling to come home to your true self, this episode is for you.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright are joined by Ghost for an electric episode exploring the accelerating unraveling of the mainstream narrative. They break down Candace Owens' shift against Trump, Thomas Massie's constitutional objections to Trump's Iran strike, and the establishment's collective meltdown over narrative control. The hosts highlight the changing public mood, from war fatigue to distrust in legacy media, while dissecting Trump's strategy of minimal, effective force and public messaging designed to expose media hypocrisy. Ghost brings the fire as they discuss the spiritual and psychological shift of the American people, pointing out how coordinated fear campaigns are collapsing under the weight of their own contradictions. They revisit key themes like controlled opposition, fifth-generation warfare, and the optics of regime change, tying them to the broader awakening playing out in real time. With a mix of humor, analysis, and righteous frustration, the crew challenges listeners to abandon black-and-white thinking and recognize the complex, often theatrical nature of global politics.

As he did in this first presidential term, President Trump has continued to signal closer alignment with Vladimir Putin. This included a tense February Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he claimed Ukraine was responsible for the war.   The U.S. also joined Russia in voting against a UN resolution condemning Russia's action in Ukraine and Vice President Vance has called for a re-evaluation of the U.S.'s relationship with NATO. Could these actions, and others, help chart a return to a state of improved U.S.-Russia diplomatic relations or lead America toward defeat in the region and beyond? Those who argue that Trump's actions signal a return to normalcy say that European security should be Europe's responsibility, which could lead to a stronger, more self-sufficient NATO, and that recent years of antagonism have failed to alter Russian behavior. The Trump administration could help bring U.S.-Russia relations into constructive focus at a high-stakes moment.  However, those who declare this a defeat for America argue that Trump warming up to Putin will only encourage Russian aggression, hurt Ukraine, and erode our allies' trust.     With this background, we debate Trump's Russia Policies: Return to Normalcy or Defeat for America?  Arguing "Defeat for America":  Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign   Alina Polyakova, President and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA)  Arguing "Return to Normalcy":   Jeffrey Sachs, Economist, Public Policy Analyst, and Professor at Columbia University  Thomas Graham, Distinguished Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; Co-founder of Yale University's Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program     Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this session, biblical scholar Dominic Crossan examines the fundamental conflict between two visions of peace in the ancient world. He contrasts Augustus' Res Gestae (carved imperial boasts of achievements) with Paul's letters, revealing how Rome established "peace through victory" while Paul offered an alternative vision based on justice and non-violence. Crossan traces this tension back to Genesis, where human civilization begins with Cain's fratricide and escalates through generations of violence, contrasting sharply with the divine vision of creation centered on Sabbath justice. Through archaeological evidence from Galatian sites where Paul traveled, Crossan demonstrates how these competing worldviews physically manifested in the landscape, ultimately challenging us to consider whether humanity's inherent tendency toward escalating violence makes us a sustainable species or whether we must embrace Paul's alternative vision of peace through justice.

Send us a textBefore the World Premiere of his very first play, Judson Jones streamed into the Playwright's Spotlight. We discussed his background in theatre, film, and television and his journey to writing his first play and any challenges he overcame. We dove into hitting  the flow state, introducing new ideas, the appreciation of new works, storytelling through Post-It notes, working with deadlines, collaborating with designers and the benefits of simplicity and justification as well as eliminating and having an outside eye. We wrap with delving into devices vs dialogue, working with sensitive subject matter, writing out of order, and observing the loss of grace in society. It's a very heartwarming conversation. Enjoy!  His play Canaan Unremembered opened March 24th at the Court Square Theater in Long Island City, New York and runs through April 19th, 2025.

Since the November election, one of the most concerning issues in our culture is the threat of normalcy. Over the past five years of chaos, many have turned to Bible prophecy, perhaps linking turmoil to the return of Christ. But Scripture tells a different story. The Bible is clear about the conditions surrounding the rapture. So, what should Christians be watching for? And how do current events align with God's Word? Join us as we explore what the Bible says about the times we're living in.

Episode 4327: Start Of The Return To Normalcy As Market Tumbles

Bralynn and Dr. Kirk Elliott continue the conversation about investing – and especially in precious metals during our current economy.  There's a paradigm shift occurring, and we need to adapt in order to be good stewards of the finances God gives us in our business.TOPICS:– Gold is everywhere in heaven and God shows up in gold– We are made in God's image and we are not junk– Gold is in Father's heart– Debt causes us to care about interest rates– Buy low and sell high– Normal bias – we become creatures of our past– Debt shackles us– People can afford more when the cost of borrowing goes down– Gold and silver goes up in uncertain times– Maximize return while minimizing risk– Gold is up 30% last year and Silver is up 40% last year– Leave emotions out, be like a robot– View your money as God's money– Stock market is at an all time highGOLD NUGGETS:1) There's one thing in particular that drives a company's business success or failure more than anything and that is the interest rate cycle.2) Normalcy bias means it didn't happen in the past, so it's not going to happen now.3) Lowering interest rates cause people to spend more. Then corporate America becomes more profitable which allows the price to earnings ratios to change in the Stock Market and it booms.4) Lowering all taxes like income, property, capital gains, and estate taxes creates a framework for success.5) The value of bonds are up and if you want to sell a bond now is the best time in the history of America. The reason is, the closer rates are to zero, the higher the price of the bond.6) When interest rates go up, your cost of debt services and everything else goes up. 7) In real estate, people finance houses. As the rates go up the value of housing has to go down for it to be equally affordable.8) Now that interest rates are going back up it is going to be different because people are going into a paradigm shift. It's a fundamental shift in the economy that neither you or I can control, so we need to adapt to it.9) If America thinks that the government can fix what is wrong in society, the price of gold will stay low. If they think that the government is going to break it, then gold will go up. QUOTES:– Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is a slave to the lender.– Americans do one thing better than anyone else on the planet, we spend money.– Be wise as servants with what God has given us.– Interest rate cycles are an average of every 28 years.– Take advantage of the trend rather than the trend taking advantage of you.– Stop focusing on how we are different and focus on what we have in common.– Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.– We were not created to just survive, we were created to thrive.  Sometimes thriving requires a team.– I want to be remembered as an extravagant giver. LINKS for DR.

Several executive orders by the Trump administration have been lauded as simple “common sense.” However, Dr. Jonny warns that the word common is a movable target and we need to be more focused on what is “normal sense” than what is common. Normalcy is directly tied to a standard and abnormal behavior is tied to sin. We should courageously hold His standard for the benefit, well-being and health of America!

Sunday Morning Live 9 February 2025In this episode, I examine the balance between uniqueness and normalcy in our thinking, particularly in relation to creativity and reality. I reflect on political dynamics, deplatforming, and how these shifts redirected my focus from politics to philosophy. We discuss narcissism, the importance of boundaries, and the question "Do I exist to you?" as a means to evaluate relationships. I highlight emotional responses and the need to recognize one's value in navigating toxic dynamics. Ultimately, I encourage listeners to appreciate their worth and foster relationships built on mutual respect and understanding.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.
