Have you ever fantasized about quitting your job, starting your own business, and finally doing something that feels 100% yours? It sounds amazing… until you remember that entrepreneurism also comes with risk, uncertainty, and about a million ways things can go sideways. So what does it really take to be an entrepreneur? In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Bernstein - entrepreneur, creative, author, mother of six, and co-founder of both the billion-dollar toy company Melissa & Doug and the wellness brand Lifelines. Melissa shares what it really takes to be an entrepreneur: the resilience to weather constant storms, the patience to love the process for years before you see results, and the clarity of purpose that keeps you moving forward when everything feels like it's falling apart. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Dream vs. Reality of Entrepreneurship 03:50 Start With Curiosity: Research Before You Launch 06:50 From Ingredients to Mission: Let Ideas Simmer 11:59 Resilience in Action: Setbacks, Copycats, and Mindset Shifts 18:22 The 3 Ps: Passion, Patience, and Purpose 20:46 Purpose Over Profit: Building a Legacy Brand 22:10 Patience Pays: A Decade to Real Traction 39:00 Openness to Experience: Beginner's Mind and “New Eyes” 42:39 Protect Fragile Ideas: Share Only When the Vision Is Clear As you listen, reflect with me: What's the mission you feel so strongly that you couldn't walk away from it, even if you tried? Do you love the process of what you want to create enough to stay with it for decades? And are you running toward something that lights you up, or just trying to escape something you don't like? If this conversation with Melissa got you thinking more deeply about your own path, I would love to help you take the next step. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It is a no-pressure chance to share what has been on your mind, whether that is growing in your career, clarifying your goals, or building more meaning into your work. I believe everyone deserves support as they figure out what is next, and these free consultations are one way I can make that support accessible. My hope is that you leave our time together feeling more clear, more encouraged, and more confident about where you are heading. And let's not let the conversation stop here. I'm always sharing new insights, encouragement, and little growth tools on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube - but what I really love is hearing from you. Your thoughts and questions often spark future episodes, so if something in this one lit a fire for you, let me know. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self

Read OnlineThere was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Luke 10:25The question is very good. We should all seek to understand, with all our hearts, what we must do to inherit eternal life. Of course the problem is that this scholar of the law did not ask this question with sincerity and openness. Rather, he asked Jesus this question to test our Lord. This scholar, as well as other scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees and elders, was envious of Jesus and sought to find fault with Him. This scholar appeared to be concerned that Jesus was teaching contrary to the Law of Moses. But what does our Lord do? He says nothing more than to put the question back to the scholar, asking him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” The scholar answers correctly, according to the Law of Moses, and Jesus responds to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” Thus, the test was passed.What's interesting and helpful to ponder in this exchange is the way Jesus responds to this scholar. Because Jesus knew the scholar's heart, and because He knew that this scholar was not asking with humility and openness, Jesus responded with great prudence, inviting the scholar of the law himself to answer his own question. Though we are not able to read another's heart in the way our Lord did, we should learn a lesson from Him on how to respond to others who have as their goal to trick, trap, test, and twist our words if they disagree with us. This is especially important in matters of faith and morality. If you are striving to live the Gospel with all your heart and you encounter the “testing” of others as a result of the holy life you are striving for, ponder Jesus' actions here. Too often, when another challenges us or tests us, we become defensive and even offended. As a result, we can enter into arguments back and forth that bear little or no fruit. Jesus did not argue. He did not allow this test to trip Him up. Rather, He only offered responses that could not be doubted. Jesus knew that this scholar was not interested in the deepest spiritual truths. He was only interested in finding fault. Therefore, the deeper and fuller Gospel message could not be offered.We should also learn from this passage the importance of coming to Jesus with an open heart, sincerely seeking the deepest spiritual answers to life. We ought never test Jesus. Instead, in humility, we must believe that He is the source of all truth and that He has every answer in life that we seek. Reflect, today, upon two things. First, reflect upon how completely open you are to all that Jesus has to say. If you were to ask our Lord this question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?,” what would Jesus say to you? Would He only be able to offer you general answers in the form of questions? Or would Jesus see the open and sincere nature of your heart and be able to speak in great depth and detail to you? Second, reflect upon anyone with whom you constantly have to defend yourself for the practice of your faith. If this is your experience, perhaps reexamine your approach, realizing that the deepest pearls of your faith should only be shared with those who are sincerely open and are seeking to embrace them with all their heart. My deep and wise Lord, You and You alone have every answer to life. You and You alone can reveal to me all that I need to know in life so as to achieve holiness and fulfillment. Please open my heart so that I can come to You with humility and sincerity, open to all that You wish to reveal to me. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

It's never too late to look at our lives, to set out on a new path, to begin the difficult and necessary and life-giving work of changing course, of learning how to bring ourselves in a way that deepens our depth, courage, love, kindness, truthfulness and contribution. It's never too late to learn something, to teach something. It's never too late to live - even in the very last moments of our lives. This conversation, marking the 8th anniversary of Turning Towards Life, takes us into an exploration of who we humans can be to one another, especially when we pay attention, when we remember our capacities to make worlds together, and when we commit to listen to one another with kindness, truthfulness, openness and care. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Celebrating Eight Years of Turning Towards Life 05:48 Introducing the Source: Harold Schulweis 11:57 Personal Reflections on Change and Growth 17:47 The Power of Openness and Change 24:08 The Importance of Dialogue and Disagreement 29:52 Creating a World of Connection and Kindness Here's our source for this week: It's never too late The last word has not been spoken the last sentence has not been writ the final verdict is not in. It's never too late  to change my mind  my direction to say 'no' to the past  and 'yes' to the future  to offer remorse to ask and give forgiveness. It is never too late  to start all over again  to feel again  to love again  to hope again. It is never too late  to overcome despair  to turn sorrow into resolve  and pain into purpose. It is never too late to alter my world  not by magic incantations  or manipulations of the cards  or deciphering the stars  but by opening myself  to curative forces buried within  to hidden energies the powers in my interior self. In sickness and in dying,  it is never too late. Living, I teach  Dying, I teach how to face pain and fear. Others observe me, children, adults,  students of life and death  learn from my bearing, my posture,  my philosophy. It is never too late -  Some word of mine, some touch, some caress may be remembered  some gesture may play a role beyond the last  movement of my head and hand. Write it on my epitaph  that my loved ones be consoled. It is never too late.

"Gratitude starts with being thankful for you before being thankful for anything else." — Sheila Kamuda Sheila Kamuda is an empowerment coach specializing in boosting confidence and leadership abilities. Her coaching career was inspired by two pivotal events: a personal healing journey following the loss of her husband and a robust 15-year stint in leadership roles. Sheila is also an author, with her works focusing on self-discovery and personal empowerment. Her work, encapsulated in her latest book "Say Yes to Yes," empowers individuals to embrace opportunities and lead a fulfilling, confident life. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of "Oh My Health, There Is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes empowerment coach Sheila Kamuda to share her compelling story and provide insights into leading a life filled with confidence. Sheila recounts her transformative journey through grief after losing her husband, a period during which writing daily letters to him helped her heal. Over the course of six years, Sheila penned almost 2,000 letters, during which she discovered the potent question, "What is on the other side of grief?" This pivotal inquiry led her to emerge as a more robust and empowered version of herself, sparking her mission to help others discover their inner strength. Sheila Kamuda fervently discusses cultural and self-imposed barriers many women face, especially in terms of confidence and social expectations. She stresses living "out loud" and proudly declaring one's achievements, no matter their size. The episode delves deeply into understanding personal purpose and embracing opportunities, with Sheila encouraging listeners to lead with confidence against fears and societal judgments. Her book "Say Yes to Yes" offers an empowering philosophy: embracing even minor opportunities can lead to significant transformations, a concept shaped by Sheila's personal experiences and professional expertise. Key Takeaways: Sheila Kamuda's personal healing journey illustrates the transformative power of expressing emotions and questioning grief. Identifying and cherishing personal achievements, regardless of their size, can have a significant impact on self-confidence and the discovery of purpose. Living 'out loud' involves embracing one's unique story, regardless of societal or cultural narratives. Openness to opportunities, however small, can usher in profound changes in one's personal and professional life. The importance of rewriting limiting beliefs into affirming narratives to foster personal growth and empowerment.

In this episode of 'Conversations with Amoda Maa,' Amoda and Kavi explore what she calls the “light (radiance) of being”—our essential, quality-less nature that's prior to personality, thought, emotion, and circumstance. Amoda clarifies that “light” isn't a special effect or perfected persona; it's the ever-present transparency of awareness that remains when all experiences pass. The conversation unpacks how veils of conditioning (guilt, shame, unworthiness, grievance, the acquisitive ego) obscure this radiance, and how glimpses often arise in shock, beauty, or profound presence when the mind stops referencing. Awakening is both sudden and gradual: nothing outward needs to change, yet life is revolutionized from grasping and drama to a lightness of being—an ordinary, intimate openness that meets daily life without seeking the next moment for fulfillment. They touch on the potency of the shared field in gatherings, the end of horizontal seeking, and the simple inner inquiry: “What remains when experience passes?” The episode closes with a note about Amoda's forthcoming book, Unveiling the Light of Being, and upcoming events.

"Love should be seen as something which in a sense never ‘is' but is always only ‘becoming', and what it becomes depends up on the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment.”~ Karol WojtyłaWhy doesn't arousal come as easily as we expected?How do we make opportunities for intimacy when life is so busy?How can I have honest conversations with my spouse about arousal and our sex life?In Episode 83 of This Whole Life, Pat & Kenna are joined by guest Trisha McKeever, LMFT for Part 2 of the "Holy Sex" series, focusing on arousal within marriage.

Episode #170: Today we explore the crucial topic of conflict resolution skills in relationships. In this episode, I reflect on recent experiences where I've observed adults struggling to effectively resolve conflicts, often due to fear and a lack of self-confidence. Through open, honest, and direct communication, we can foster trust and support in our relationships, whether within families, friendships, or professional teams. I share my personal approach to seeing the best in people, highlighting the importance of loyalty and mutual support. By prioritizing understanding and transparency, we can create stronger, more supportive connections. Continuing our conversation, I emphasize the significance of honest and transparent communication in maintaining healthy relationships. We often harbor grievances and speak behind people's backs instead of addressing issues directly, which can hinder harmonious coexistence. While difficult conversations may be uncomfortable, they are essential for productive interactions. I share personal experiences of fostering trust and openness and the necessity of moving on when this is not reciprocated. Confronting issues head-on rather than avoiding them can lead to more genuine and respectful interactions, paving the way for more meaningful connections. Lastly, I discuss how embracing our own success while celebrating the achievements of others can enhance our confidence and shield us from negativity. Conflicts often arise from jealousy and insecurity, but by cultivating unshakable confidence and understanding differing perspectives, we can resolve conflicts more effectively. I encourage listeners to reach out with empathy and a willingness to listen, addressing unresolved issues with loved ones to foster harmony and growth. I wrap up the episode with heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and engagement, inviting you to connect with me on social media and share your valuable feedback.

In this episode, we sit down with Provost Lena Hill, whose vision and leadership maintain the best of the liberal arts education at Washington and Lee. For Hill, education is not only about mastery of a discipline but also about discovery, openness, and the courage to embrace the unexpected. She reflects on her own journey, from studying Renaissance art in Florence to becoming an internationally recognized scholar of Ralph Ellison, and how those formative experiences shape the way she thinks about curriculum, faculty, and students today. From the evolving role of general education to the transformative impact of study abroad, research, and mentoring, Hill shares how W&L empowers students to unlock their potential and pursue lives of meaning. Whether you're an alum curious about the university's future, a student navigating your own path, or a lifelong learner seeking inspiration, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that education is both an opportunity and a gift.

Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a senior research scientist at Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence, says absolutely. Pringle defines creativity as something that's both original and effective, whether you're solving an accounting problem or planning an unconventional retirement. We explore the gap between having ideas and actually implementing them. You have this brilliant vision for starting a business, changing careers, or retiring early, but somehow you never take the first step. Pringle calls this the implementation gap, and she explains why it happens. The conversation centers on a hypothetical couple: both 55 years old, one a programmer, the other in middle management. They want to retire at 57 and travel the world. Pringle uses this example to illustrate how creative problem-solving works in real life. She explains that creativity requires comfort with uncertainty. When you're doing something new, you don't have a blueprint or checklist. There's always the risk that your early retirement plan could fail spectacularly — imagine having to return to work at 59 after the market tanks and your portfolio gets crushed. Here's the key insight: you don't need full confidence to start. Pringle compares creative confidence to fuel in a car. You don't need a full tank — you can start with just a quarter tank and refuel along the way. Each small success builds more confidence for the next step. The bottom line? Innovation happens through constant iteration. Your final destination might change throughout your career and retirement, and that's completely normal.
