Most real estate agents know nothing about the homes they sell. Jennifer DeVito built a woman-owned construction and real estate company to fix exactly that.In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer DeVito, founder of Evolution, a design-build general contracting and real estate company on Long Island. Jennifer grew up running equipment on her parents' excavation sites, became the only woman managing 400 home builds for a national developer, and turned that into a business that combines buying, renovating, and selling under one roof.We get into why she charges sellers a flat fee instead of a percentage, how she gives buyers the true cost of a home before they make an offer, and why she trains alongside her 23 employees every single day.Jennifer is proof that you do not have to build your business the way men built theirs. If you are growing something in an industry that was not designed for you, this one is worth your time.Chapters:

At a certain age, most women start getting regular cancer screenings: Mammograms, colonoscopies, pap smears…and yet, not for lung cancer, even though lung cancer is the most common cancer death among women in the U.S. There is currently no universal screening for lung cancer, and perhaps as a result, by the time most women are diagnosed, the prognosis is dire. For Shira Kupperman Boehler, her unexpected lung cancer diagnosis has spurred her from being a patient, to an author and policy reformer. Kupperman Boehler is founder of CANCER DOESN’T CARE, an initiative focused on advancing early lung cancer detection and prevention-focused health policy, and she is author of ONE SCAN SAVED MY LIFE: How One Woman’s Story Will Change The Way We Detect Lung Cancer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it look like to spend nearly two decades in a career that was never meant for you, only to discover your real purpose on the other side of burnout, divorce, and being pushed out of jobs you deserved?Londone Reid, transformational coach, speaker, and founder of Her Law of Growth, joins Dali for a conversation that is raw, funny, and deeply real. Londone shares how she went from chasing a psychology degree she had to abandon to accidentally discovering life coaching, surviving workplace bullying as a Black woman in corporate America, and finally building a business that lets her help other women do the same thing she did: get clear, find their voice, and move forward.She also talks about her Clarity Catalyst program, her growing consulting arm that builds out full CRM systems and websites for coaches, and the four-word mantra that changed her life.Don't worry. Just do it.

Without God's perfect love, we cannot be free from condemnation and the bondage that we all face here on earth. But with God, we can live life and live it abundantly. Before knowing the Lord, Marina was living in bondage. Hear Marina’s incredible testimony and the ways God is using her story now as she serves in the Samaritan’s Purse Germany office. This episode was created by Samaritan's Purse and is part of their On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse podcast content, shared with permission. Resources: Listen to “Fighting Spiritual Battles: Human Trafficking in Berlin,” to hear more about Alabaster Jar and how God is transforming hearts amid spiritual darkness. Marina Nobiling, director of national programs at the Samaritan’s Purse Germany office, shed light on the current cultural and spiritual climate of Germany and talked about the ongoing Samaritan’s Purse projects in the country. There is an immense need for the Gospel to be preached in Germany and for Bible-believing churches to step up and lead. “We want to stand for the Gospel. We want to stand for Jesus … And we want to show in our programs and projects what it's like to be with Him; to be living with Jesus.” – Marina Nobiling Before coming to Christ, Marina said she was not merely neutral towards God, she was an enemy. Marina was in bondage—she battled an eating disorder and anxiety for years to the point of planning to take her own life. But when Marina had an encounter with the Lord, everything changed. “And I had a voice in my head: ‘I want you to live. And you can do it with my help’ … It was beyond any doubt clear. That's Jesus. My whole life I had the wrong thinking. That's not true. God exists.” – Marina Nobiling Marina went from believing that the Gospel was an old superstition to knocking on the door of the nearest church, asking to be baptized. She was on fire for God. Marina now takes this compassion to the streets of Berlin, ministering to women who are trapped in prostitution. She remembers what it was like to be in bondage and desires for others like her to be free; to be transformed by the love of Christ. Life can be hard, and Marina still struggles, but she has something to turn to that cannot be shaken: God’s Word. Marina created a “first aid kit” with Psalms and Scriptures that speak to her when she is fighting lies or feeling weighed down by fears. Her favorite verse, Isaiah 43:1, reminds her that she belongs to the Lord—nothing can take that away. “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.’” – Isaiah 43:1, ESV If you’d like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground, please visit SamaritansPurse.org.

Most families don't lose the farm because of bad markets—they lose it because relationships fall apart during the transfer. But Hayden and Sheree Ballinger are building something different. On their 230-hectare dairy farm in Victoria, Australia, they've found a way to honor parents, preserve sibling relationships, and create a model for multi-generational living that actually brings the family closer together. In this episode, we unpack how they structured the transfer of their family farm, why proactive stewardship matters, and what it looks like to protect both the assets and the relationships. They didn't just inherit land - they stewarded a legacy of peace. To see how they did it (and how you can too) watch this episode.

In this episode, Barbara discusses:  Why most business owners are using AI the wrong way — and how to shift from “tool usage” to AI-powered systems.  How Ronnie automated repetitive admin work and saved 10–15 hours every week.  Why identifying your biggest business pain point is the best place to start with AI.    Key Takeaways:  “AI should not replace the human connection in your practice — it should remove the repetitive work so doctors can spend more time building trust, relationships, and better patient care.” — Dr. Barbara Hales Connect with Barbara Hales:   Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com  YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahalesBooks: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales Power to the Patient: The Medical Strategist TRANSCRIPT (242) Introduction to AI for Business Owners  Dr. Barbara Hales 0:02  Hi, welcome to another episode of Marketing Tips for Doctors. I’m your host, Doctor Barbara Hales, and today we have a special guest named Ronnie Toronto. She is the founder of One Woman. A woman shows a community how to help women business owners bring AI into their work strategically, in a language that feels like theirs. Her mission: no woman should have to figure AI out alone now. This is big, because you know every day you hear about AI doing new things, and every day there’s a new type of AI, whether it’s the three different divisions of Claude or Nano Banana or one of many, many AI types, and each one you know is known to do something better than any of the others, so you know it can get really confusing, especially if you want it to help you out in, in your business, you know, AI isn’t just Chat GPT anymore. Her method starts with the pain, not the tools. She does not ask a business owner which AI to buy; she asks which task is killing her this month, today. She walks us through how she built her own AI-run business and where any solo practitioner should actually start. Welcome to the show, Ronnie.    Ronnie Toronto 1:59  Hi, welcome, and thank you for the opportunity to be here with you and share about some of my work.  How Ronnie Got Started with AI   Dr. Barbara Hales 2:10  How did you get involved in AI to begin with?  Ronnie Toronto 2:15  Um, as I think, as like everyone else, I saw AI ads and AI all around the news and the platform at Instagram and Facebook, and like I felt left behind, and because like I knew a CGPT, but I didn’t know how really to use it, and everybody say like, oh, it’s the best thing, it’s it’s helped me in my business, so I just started to explore more and more, and read, and to take process, and I like surround myself with people that use AI as a victim and not only as a tool, and and then from that moment and on I realized that I can change my entire business with AI.    Life Before and After AI Automation    Dr. Barbara Hales 3:10  Tell us, what a week in your life looked like before AI, and what it looks like now.    Ronnie Toronto 3:18  So, before AI, I was doing all of the admin tasks, and all of all of the tests, actually alone, like I did everything manually, and if it’s to spend like between 10 to 15 hours a week on on building reports for clients, and and now I can actually say that, like, AI build me the same report, the exact same system, but even better to send to clients without me needing to operate a single file, like he can do everything for me, and it’s actually same between 10 to 15 hours a week, only for one task.  The First Task, Ronnie Automated  Dr. Barbara Hales 4:09  What was the very first task you handed over to AI, and what happened? Walk us through that, I    Ronnie Toronto 4:28  What was the first task that I gave to AI to do for me, because I thought it’s like taking a lot of time and a lot of effort, and to actually uploading the same, the same numbers through Google Sheets manually all day long take me a lot of time, and so I think that was my biggest pain point, and but I didn’t, I mean to say that I didn’t automate my. Our business, because I do believe in humanity, and I do believe that we need to do some stuff in the business, because in them the client chooses me because of who I am, and not because the AI can do it, and I chose four pain points to automate it, and there are 1000 in a business.    AI Morning Brief and Email Prioritization    Dr. Barbara Hales 5:25  You get something called a morning brief in your inbox every day. Tell us what it is, who built it, and how it changed your mornings.    Ronnie Toronto 5:42  Okay. I don’t know if a lot of people in the podcast know about what is it, but you can use clothes and clothes have a clothes and you have code a cloud code, so I’m using Power right now, and I build a skill like you have your own system that you teach her how to be new, so I build my co-work to do the same thing that I’m doing manually, so every morning when I wake up, Co-op already builds for me the priorities that I have on my email, like who is the most important to answer, who I can actually ignore, and so he, he built for me this, and that I can see what is the urgent stuff in my business, what I need to answer, and I don’t need to just go through 40 or 20 or even five emails anymore. It’s just in, and when I wake up and open the computer, it’s already building for me. It’s already showing me what I need to do next in the morning, without me having to start reading and exploring what was happening when I closed the computer last night.    Building an AI Stack Beyond ChatGPT    Dr. Barbara Hales 7:01  Most people think AI just means ChatGPT. What is actually in your AI stack, and what does each tool do for you?    Ronnie Toronto 7:16  And so I was starting to say that what I’m using isn’t a tool, and it’s not that I’m trying, like, to sell another product, but when you’re using AI at JGPT, you’re using one tool, like you pay $30 months for one tool, they do one thing, but the co-work that I’m using, the AI that I’m using right now, it’s a system that you pay, that you pay, you pay $20 but $20 a month, but you can have unlimited tool that, like, is built for you, and that you can operate with your entire business, and to reduce the amount of time that you spend on the same repetitive test, but is one tool that do every, like, it’s one tool, but inside with unlimited rule. Yeah, it’s magic. What is    Common AI Mistakes Business Owners Make    Dr. Barbara Hales 8:28  What is the biggest mistake you see business owners making with AI right now?    Ronnie Toronto 8:40  I think the biggest one is that people that business actually they are not replaced by AI but being separated by AI because again it’s easy to use JGP team to ask him the same question but in the end you need to build operation, you need to build AI that is like your team, and you need to ask yourself not how I’m using AI, it’s actually how AI helping me to replace my pain point to reduce my repetitive test, like how he’s walking without me needed to touch the computer, need to use or ask him over and over again the same question, because I’m not asking for my tool to build me report, he know the co-work, know to send an email to each client every Sunday, and every, and every month, actually, like it’s weekly, it’s daily, weekly, and monthly. He knows how to send the reports along without me needing to tell him, “Oh, you need to send reports. He knows how to open Google Sheets. How to build the same report that clients like to see and send it to the mail with the sentence that and summarize with text that the clients want and like to see. What is one    How to Avoid AI Overwhelm    Dr. Barbara Hales 10:17  What is the biggest thing that could save them from the mistakes that they’re making with AI,    Ronnie Toronto 10:30  I would say that they need to stop using it as a tool, they need to start exploring more than only chp and ask themselves what can help me to reduce the time that I’m spending or or even to eat, like I know it’s sometimes very nervous, like it’s become nervous like to just using Instagram or Facebook or LinkedIn, and see the ads popping up with AI, and then become confused where to start, what to do. So just stop anything. What is your biggest pain point? And from that point on, explore what can help you replace this pain point with a tool with AI.    The Vision Behind One Woman Show    Dr. Barbara Hales 11:26  Tell us about the one-woman show that you have. I understand that’s a community.    Ronnie Toronto 11:33  Yes, so one more show is for women in business and a movement that turns women business owner from traditional operation using AI as a tool into AI powered operate with their team running in the background, and so it’s helping business women to see there is more, and like I was attending in a lecture a few months ago, and 90 90% of the people in the room were women, and most of them knew what is AI, but none of them know how to actually use it. So I realized that there is a gap on the market, and it’s important that business women out there will become one and actually understand how to speak with AI in more in a feminine language, language in a way that we can understand how to use it, and I didn’t find it, so I realized that if I didn’t find it, maybe I can open one and help other women out there to understand a bit more about AI and how to use it correctly,    What Happens Inside the One-Woman Show Community    Dr. Barbara Hales 12:46  So what happens inside the One Moment Show,    Ronnie Toronto 12:52  And so right now, I am trying to share as much information as I can about how I automated my business, and most of it is for free. I even launch a small, a small course that actually explore how to, how to use the co-work, how to do the same thing that I did to automate, to automate like 70% of my business right now, and I’m trying to share all the time my progress, and my system, and how to use different tools out there, and what is more, what is more fit for you and for your business, and yeah, how to operate AI.    Future Plans for Coaching and Community Growth    Dr. Barbara Hales 13:39  So, will there be a coaching program in the future?    Ronnie Toronto 13:43  Oh, yes, I hope I can do a Zoom call, like once a week, so more and more women can share and explore how they use it, and I can give some tips and actually talk with business owners out there. Yeah, something that I really, really want to do    Two Practical AI Tips for Business Owners    Dr. Barbara Hales 14:09  for the listeners that we have on the show. Could you give us two helpful tips that they could implement right away?    Ronnie Toronto 14:22  and one stop using certificated and just I and yes, explore co-work and second thing is that something that I’m doing, I’m asking this every AI that I’m using, I’m asking AI to ask me questions, because as much as AI is a wonderful tool, you need the magic of humanity, and if we don’t go into ask for ChatGPT or co-work or whatever you use to ask us. To ask us questions, we are going to start thinking. I think it’s very, it’s very important for us to continue thinking and not to give the AI to do the work for us and to do it together as a team.    Using AI Chatbots for Customer Support    Dr. Barbara Hales 15:16  Do you also show people how to use and create chatbots?    Ronnie Toronto 15:22  Yeah. yes, yes, I’m doing, I yeah, I help some businesses to do it as well, and I don’t have a website to do a chat, but it’s actually very helpful to some businesses to have, because it’s reduced the amount of time that you spend on answering the same repetitive questions that you have from clients, so you just upload all of your base knowledge to there, and they, I know how to answer the client for you, so yes,    How to Join the One Woman Show Community    Dr. Barbara Hales 15:58  How can people find you if they would like to join the one-woman show, and can anybody join?    Ronnie Toronto 16:12  Everyone can join. I know that I’m speaking only for women, but I think that men also, if they need help, I would be more happy to help them, and you can find me in LinkedIn as Ronnie Toronto. And also, if you have school or you want to sign up for school, you just search One Woman Show AI, and you can find me there. Yeah,    Expanding the Community Beyond Women    Dr. Barbara Hales 16:38  okay. Well, you’ll also be able to see that in the, in the show notes, but if a guy approached you, he said, “Well, I know that you have this thing going on for women, but I’d like to learn too. So, you would accept them into the pack.    Ronnie Toronto 16:55  Yes, I might even open a new pack, a new community for everyone.    Ronnie Toronto 17:00  Yeah, I would be happy to help everyone. Yeah,    Final Advice and Closing Remarks    Dr. Barbara Hales 17:04  okay. Great. Is there any last bit of advice that you would like to say that I didn’t ask, or did we go    Ronnie Toronto 17:15  on? I think no, I think I. I hope I have explained everything clearly. Yeah,    Dr. Barbara Hales 17:24  Well, you know, listeners, if there’s something that you’re unsure of, then we are giving you the way to reach Ronnie, and you could just ask her directly. So, thank you very much for being on the show today. This has been another episode of Marketing Tips for Doctors with your host, Dr. Barbara Hales. Till next time.    Ronnie Toronto 17:53  Thank you. The post Women, and the AI Revolution first appeared on The Medical Strategist.

On this episode of the Mastery Unleashed Podcast, Christie Ruffino interviews Marina Tudor, a psychotherapist and trauma expert who specializes in helping high-achieving women heal and “unbend” their internal patterns. Drawing from her own experiences with neurological challenges such as epilepsy, spatial disorientation, and autism traits, Marina developed a deep understanding of neuroplasticity and the brain's ability to rewire itself.Marina's work focuses on healing trauma without repeatedly talking about it. Instead, she uses neuroscience-based techniques and micro-habit reprogramming to shift trauma patterns at their root, helping clients break free from limiting beliefs like “I'm not enough” or “I must carry everything.” She explains that traditional therapy can sometimes reinforce trauma by repeatedly revisiting painful experiences, whereas her approach emphasizes rewiring emotional and neurological responses for faster, lasting transformation.Listeners learn practical strategies such as aligning thoughts, emotions, and actions, paying attention to physical symptoms as indicators of emotional patterns, and recognizing when they are operating from fear versus vision. Marina emphasizes that trauma can block intuition, leadership, and success, and that healing unlocks higher performance and clarity.The episode highlights how personal adversity can become a powerful mission, empowering entrepreneurs to transform their lives, businesses, and impact through deeper self-awareness and healing.ABOUT MARINAMarina was not born into coherence; she created it.Diagnosed in childhood with petit mal epilepsy, autism, ADHD, spatial disorientation, tone deafness, and profound left-right confusion, her early life was shaped by sensory-motor fragmentation. Space, rhythm, sound, these were foreign languages to a body unsync'ed with symmetry. But from age three, she began retraining perception. She didn't just adapt, she recoded reality.By age 10, Marina became Romania's national swimming champion in butterfly, transforming neurological chaos into disciplined form. She now speaks seven languages, guided by an autistic brain that hears “music as math.” She holds dual BA and MA degrees, with a thesis on Emotional Reality, a healing modality she developed. She began her PhD work before transferring out to follow a deeper path of integration.As a licensed psychotherapist (LCPC, NCC, CCTP, C-DBT, EMDR clinician), she's clocked over 20,000 client hours across the U.S. in trauma and crisis, autism, grief and loss, death and dying, and integrative medicine, backed by more than 54,000 hours of study. Clients report 92–94% transformational outcomes over the past decade. She specializes in neurodivergence, aging, crisis, suicidality, death, complementary and integrative restorative approaches, and the soul-body interface.Marina has trained in over 100 seminars and crisis response programs, somatic work, and both top-down and bottom-up brain approaches. She'sa Reiki Master in nine lineages and a practitioner of crystal and bio field therapies. Movement became medicine; salsa dancing is her long-termrewiring companion.Twice re birthed through profound soul-death experiences (at 18 and 46), Marina carries consciousness downloads that shaped her original therapeutic frameworks, rooted in post-traumatic genius, not pathology.She is a living experiment in neuroplasticity and coherence re-patterning, and her life stands as quiet evidence that the human map, no matter how fractured, can be rewritten.LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOWwww.marinatudor.com/www.linkedin.com/in/marinatudor/Psychology Today: www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/marina-tudor-rockville-md/403331ABOUT OUR SHOWMastery Unleashed is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.Each episode features today's top influencers and entrepreneurs on the rise as they share empowering stories and ninja tips meant to become the FUEL that will ignite a positive change in YOUR life and the lives of others.ABOUT OUR FREE GIFT VAULTGET THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE HERE: https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/

There are seasons in life when we feel deeply prepared—rooted in knowledge, connected to lineage, and trusting in the path ahead.And then there are the moments that ask us to live it.In this intimate conversation, we sit with Vivi—a mother, Ayurvedic student, and emerging postpartum caregiver—whose story gently reveals the space between what we know… and what we come to understand through experience.Raised in a family where birth was honored and trusted, Vivi entered motherhood with a strong sense of empowerment. But like so many women, it was the postpartum window that brought unexpected vulnerability—a quiet unraveling that asked her to receive care in ways she had never been taught.Together, we explore the tenderness of this transition.The shift from caregiver to one who also needs to be held.The humbling reality that knowledge alone does not replace support.And the deeper truth that our lived experiences are not detours—but part of the medicine we carry.This conversation is a reminder that postpartum is not simply a phase to move through.It is a sacred transformation—one that shapes not only how we mother, but how we live, serve, and belong to ourselves.If you have ever felt both strong and undone in motherhood…If you are walking the quiet path of healing your own story…If you feel called to support others in a more conscious, embodied way…You will find yourself here.-In this episode, we explore:Growing up in a lineage rooted in birth and holistic healingThe contrast between empowered pregnancy and vulnerable postpartumWhy the postpartum window requires deep, intentional supportThe initiation of becoming both caregiver and receiver of careHow our personal stories shape the way we serveThe role of the Universal Mother Principles in conscious caregiving-A gentle invitation…If you're feeling the call to support mothers and families in a way that honors rest, nourishment, and presence…If you're longing for meaningful work that aligns with your heart…We welcome you to explore this path with us.You don't need to have everything figured out.You only need to begin listening.-Connect with us:Begin your own journey into nourishment and postpartum wisdom:https://sacredwindowstudies.com/free-cookbook/-Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

A sleepless night. A divorce after 32 years. A job listing that makes zero sense on paper. Then Kuwait shows up on the screen and Danielle Hebert takes the leap. What starts as a desperate need for space turns into two years of solo living abroad that reshapes her confidence, her faith, and the way she sees the world.We talk through the practical realities of moving to a Muslim-majority country as a midlife woman: what Danielle asked in her interview about culture and dress, what surprised her when she landed, and how she learned to navigate daily life, safety, and boundaries. She shares the warmth she receives from strangers, neighbors, and coworkers in an international school community filled with people from across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. The conversation also holds space for the complicated parts, including moments that feel unsettling and the inequality she witnesses among migrant workers.Most of all, Danielle explains why this wasn't “running away.” It was healing travel with intention: rebuilding self-esteem through meaningful work, creating deeper connections with family back home, and finding spiritual rhythm in an unexpected place. If you're searching for solo travel inspiration, a midlife reset, or hope after divorce, this story will challenge your assumptions and widen your imagination.

What if one journey could rewrite the story you've been carrying your entire life?In this listener‑favorite episode, we revisit the extraordinary journey of Kirsten Rudberg, whose life was shaped by growing up overseas with a mother battling severe depression — a childhood marked by instability, emotional distance, and the quiet work of trying to understand her place in the world. Everything shifted when she felt an undeniable pull to walk the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage that challenged her physically, unraveled her emotionally, and opened her to a message that changed her life on a steep Spanish hill.Kirsten also shares a mysterious experience she calls compassionate possession — an event that terrified her at the time but later revealed its purpose in a moment of crisis on the Camino, allowing her to help someone else in a profound way. Her story is one of resilience, identity, mystical encounters, and the unexpected ways healing finds us when we finally stop running from our own narrative.Originally aired September 25, 2024, this episode quickly became one of the most talked‑about conversations of the year. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or revisiting it with new ears, Kirsten's journey offers timeless insight into transformation, connection, and the courage to follow the road that calls you.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Anasazi Vision: Profound Wisdom From The Four Corners Desert And One Woman’s Journey To Peace by True North https://www.amazon.com/Anasazi-Vision-Profound-Corners-Journey/dp/B0DPJDJG14 Truenorthauthor.com Visionary fiction for readers drawn to spiritual journeys, ancient wisdom, and personal transformation. Anasazi Vision is more than a novel; it is a transcendent, immersive journey that blends visionary storytelling, historical intrigue, and profound emotional awakening. From the first page, readers are drawn into the inner and outer world of True North—a woman navigating grief, identity, and a quiet yet undeniable call toward meaning. This is not simply a story to be read, but one meant to be experienced, absorbed, and reflected upon. Few books hold this level of intimacy. Anasazi Vision achieves a rare and elegant balance between gripping narrative and spiritually resonant exploration. With great respect and nuance, Indigenous wisdom is woven with metaphysical insight and the mysteries of ancient civilization into a story that feels both grounded and mystical. Set in the Four Corners desert, the land is more than a backdrop; it is alive, responsive, and pulsing with its own intelligence. Nature is experienced as a character, shaping every moment of True's unfolding awakening. If you have ever questioned your path or felt the subtle tug of destiny, you will find yourself deeply reflected in True's journey. Following her emotional evolution—moving from exhaustion and uncertainty into clarity, empowerment, and expanded awareness—is as inspiring as it is relatable. This beautiful book does not force answers; instead, it invites readers to explore their inner landscapes, their truths, and their readiness for transformation. What Readers Love Most A deeply emotional heroine. True North is raw, honest, vulnerable, and achingly real. Her grief is portrayed with rare authenticity, inviting readers to feel every step of her healing. A desert that feels alive. The Four Corners landscape becomes its own character—mystical, intelligent, and breathtakingly vivid—shaping True's journey as much as any guide. A seamless blend of archaeology and spirituality. Ancient cultures and metaphysical insight intertwine, creating a story grounded in research yet rich with mystery, meaning, and soul. Themes that resonate long after reading. Ancestral memory, ecological balance, intuition, personal sovereignty, and the dance of masculine—feminine energies elevate the novel into something unforgettable. A story that transforms. Readers describe feeling changed, awakened, inspired, and profoundly moved by the book's intimate emotional and spiritual revelations. About This Story Grieving the loss of her mother and questioning her path, True retreats to the Four Corners desert in search of stillness and reflection. Instead, she finds herself drawn into the orbit of an archaeologist and the land's hidden stories. Together, they explore the Anasazi civilization and a promise intended for our time. As True embarks on her inner quest, the lines between history and spirituality begin to blur. The past offers solutions for our misguided world, and grief—once unbearable—becomes a sacred guide, leading her toward clarity, empowerment, and a deeper understanding of her place in it. Why This Book Matters Anasazi Vision is more than a novel. It is an invitation. It speaks to seekers, thinkers, lovers of nature, and anyone who has ever felt called toward something deeper. It is visionary fiction at its finest: immersive, intelligent, and heart-opening. Perfect for readers of The Alchemist, The Celestine Prophecy, Life of Pi, and novels that blur the line between the seen and the unseen.

In this powerful and honest conversation, my good friend Anna opens up about her experience growing up in “The Truth” — also known as the 2x2 cult or “The Way.” With no official church buildings, Sunday services held in homes, and a tight-knit community that calls itself simply “The Truth,” this group operates largely under the radar.Anna shares what life was really like inside the cult — the rules, the control, the isolation, and the deep indoctrination she experienced from childhood. She talks about the moment she started questioning “The Truth,” the painful process of deconstructing her faith, and the courage it took to finally walk away.We also dive into her faith journey after leaving, the challenges of rebuilding her life outside the cult, and what healing and freedom look like on the other side.This is a raw, hopeful, and eye-opening story of leaving behind everything you've ever known — and finding yourself again.If you or someone you know has been impacted by high-control groups, religious trauma, or cult-like environments, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie is joined by Hillary for a deeply personal and honest conversation about anxiety, emotional healing, and reconnecting with your true self in midlife.Rather than an expert-driven conversation, this episode offers something different—a real-life story of what anxiety, misalignment, and healing can actually look like.Hillary shares her journey from pursuing music as a child to choosing a more practical path in medicine, shaped by early feedback, family expectations, and life circumstances. Like many women, she made decisions rooted in safety, responsibility, and loyalty—often at the expense of her true desires.Together, Katie and Hillary explore how these early patterns can follow us into adulthood, showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, and a persistent feeling of being disconnected from ourselves.Hillary also shares her experience with severe anxiety and panic disorder that developed after leaving her corporate career to pursue music full-time following the loss of her brother. While therapy helped her process emotions, it didn't fully resolve the anxiety she was experiencing.A pivotal moment in her healing came through a therapeutic technique that helped her connect physical sensations in her body to childhood experiences—allowing her to relate to her inner critic with more compassion and perspective.Katie draws a powerful connection between this work and meditation, explaining how both create space between you and your thoughts—helping you move out of reactivity and into awareness.Through Hillary's personal experience, this episode offers a relatable and grounded look at:how anxiety can signal being out of alignmentthe role of childhood conditioning and unconscious beliefshow inner critic patterns are formedwhy emotional processing is essential for healinghow self-compassion supports nervous system regulationwhat it looks like to reconnect with your authentic self and desiresHillary also reflects on her return to music and her desire to create meaningful community spaces for midlife women through live events and connection.This episode is especially supportive if you are:experiencing anxiety or emotional overwhelmfeeling disconnected from your true self or purposequestioning your life direction or past choicesstruggling with self-doubt or inner criticismnavigating a transition or identity shift in midlifeAt its core, this conversation offers a powerful reminder:Anxiety is not always something to fix.

Kim Washington built a successful career in public and higher education, including serving on President Barack Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee and supervising White House interns during President Obama's administration. Her life later took a dramatic turn when she developed an autoimmune disease, gained significant weight, and faced serious health challenges, including liver fibrosis, diabetes, and mobility limitations that at one point required her to use a wheelchair. At her lowest point, 380 pounds and on multiple medications, Kim began rebuilding through water aerobics, cardio, and strength training, eventually leading to weight loss surgery. When progress stalled, she dug deeper, learning to address metabolism, hormones, and inflammation through nutrition counseling and management, intermittent fasting, hormone replacement therapy, and later using GLP-1 medication as a supportive tool rather than a shortcut. Today, Kim has maintained her goal weight since 2022, eliminated major health conditions, and competes in various senior games, earning two silver medals and a gold in cycling at the Louisiana State Games (all in one day) and placing fifth in the 20K time trial race at her first Huntsman World Senior Games.Send us Fan Mail

Throwback Thursday (Originally aired: 1/4/26)This week, Bunnie Xo sits down with comedy powerhouse Bert Kreischer for a wildly unfiltered conversation that goes everywhere—and then some. Bert opens up about his recent health and weight-loss journey, including experimenting with Mounjaro, peptides, and GLP-based treatments, along with the very real (and very graphic) side effects no one warns you about.The two also dive deep into mental health, sharing candid experiences with OCD, anxiety, medication, and exposure therapy. Bert breaks down his long-standing rituals, flying anxieties, and the routines he's stuck to for years, while both reflect on how vulnerability, social media, and public scrutiny impact their lives behind the scenes.Of course, it wouldn't be a Bert episode without stories about marriage, intimacy, past relationships, marijuana, and the evolution of his comedy career—from early fame to what's next, including a new Netflix special on the horizon. They also touch on family dynamics, reality TV hypotheticals, and Bert's upcoming Netflix series, The Legend of Bert, premiering January 22.Equal parts hilarious, honest, and unexpectedly heartfelt—this episode pulls back the curtain on fame, fear, and figuring it out in real time.Bert Kreischer: WebsiteWatch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vaneetha Risner grew up believing that faithfully following Jesus would ensure a stable, fulfilling life. So when her marriage collapsed, it didn't just break her heart; it shattered the framework upon which she had built her identity. In this deeply personal conversation, Vaneetha opens up about the layered grief of divorce — a loss she describes as a kind of death that the church too often meets with judgment instead of compassion — and how that pain sat alongside other devastating trials, including contracting polio as a child, losing an infant son, and a later post-polio diagnosis. Though Vaneetha experienced deep heartache and betrayal, her story centers around a renewed and reconstructed faith. She shares how reaching the absolute end of herself forced a new and desperate hunger for God, and how the biblical practice of lament became a lifeline, a place to pour out bitterness without fear of judgment. She offers candid wisdom on forgiveness (including why forgiving too quickly can actually delay healing) and the importance of becoming whole before pursuing remarriage. Listeners will also gain practical insight on how to support others in crisis through her "SHOWUP" framework. This episode is a powerful reminder that even when life doesn't go according to plan, faith can be rebuilt in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.   For more about Vaneetha Risner, check out her website, Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram Find Vaneetha's book: This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God Through the Heartache of Divorce (A Practical Christian Guide to Healing, Hope, and Strength After Separation) Here's my previous conversation with Vaneetha.       For more from Dr. Carol, check out her article When One Flesh Tears Apart: The Trauma of Broken Covenant Find out more about Dr. Carol Ministries: Dr. Carol Ministries In-Person Intensives.  Experience true healing and wholeness in a safe environment as you unpack your story around intimacy and relationships while inviting Jesus to be part of that story.    Individual coaching with Dr. Carol.  This provides a one-on-one format to help you navigate your personal journey.      Dr. Carol loves to hear from you!

We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, suicide loss, grief, and mental health. Please proceed with care.What happens when the story you've built your grief around turns out to be a different story entirely? In this deeply moving episode, Jennifer sits down with Lisa Sugarman, author, mental health advocate, crisis counselor, and suicide loss survivor, in Salem, Massachusetts, to talk about one of the most profound and disorienting experiences a person can face: learning, decades later, that her father had died by suicide.Lisa was ten years old when she lost her father - the person she describes as her best friend and her whole world. For 35 years, she grieved him and his sudden death. Then, at 45, the same age her father was when he died, she learned the truth. What followed was not just a second wave of grief, but an entirely new kind of reckoning, one that forced her to revisit every memory, every conversation, and every piece of the story she had carried inside her for a lifetime.Lisa and Jennifer explore what it means to grieve someone twice, the particular and layered weight of suicide loss, the courage it took Lisa's mother to carry this secret alone for 35 years, and how Lisa ultimately transformed her pain into a life of advocacy - becoming a crisis counselor with the Trevor Project, a facilitator with Samaritans, and the creator of the Help Hub, one of the most comprehensive mental health resource platforms available today.This is a conversation about truth, compassion, and what it looks like to turn the heaviest thing you carry into something that helps others carry theirs.

Are there certain songs that have been passed down in your family — that you sing together at gatherings, or that parents sing as lullabies? If you moved across the country or across the world, what songs would you bring with you to remind you of home?Back in the 1930s, an adventurous woman named Sidney Robertson went on a quest to document those kinds of songs across Northern California. With support from the federal government, Sidney and her small staff were able to collect and catalog hundreds of songs, capturing the music people brought with them when they moved here from all over the U.S. and the world.These recordings became a soundtrack that celebrates the cultures that make up the Bay Area, and they show how music has the power to connect us across generations and communities. In this story, reporter Sheryl Kaskowitz meets a family in Oakland who discovered the power of these recordings for themselves. It's the fourth episode of The Public Works, her series about how the New Deal transformed the Bay Area and what lessons we can learn from it today.
