In this week's message from Everyday Mission, we see two sides of the early church—radical generosity and sobering deceit. In Acts 4:32–5:11, the Holy Spirit empowers a community marked by grace, unity, and dependence on God, while also revealing the danger of hypocrisy and self-promotion. The gospel calls us to live open-handed lives, trusting that everything we have belongs to Him. When God's Spirit transforms our hearts, generosity becomes more than giving—it becomes worship.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Episode Summary: In this heartfelt and expansive episode, Amy Wheeler sits down with renowned author, educator, and activist Susanna Barkataki to discuss her new book Ignite Your Yoga, and the path of yoga leadership grounded in ethics, lineage, and collective care. Susanna shares personal stories from her life, including her upbringing in a bicultural household, her journey through burnout, and her evolving role as a teacher, student, and community leader. Together, they explore how Yogic leadership is born not from charisma or hierarchy, but from a deep commitment to daily sādhanā, self-awareness, and compassionate action.Susanna reflects on what it means to be a steward of the Yogic tradition rather than a consumer of it, and how Ignite Your Yoga is a call to bring yoga off the mat and into community, workplaces, activism, and healing justice movements. Amy and Susanna also talk about grief, aging, navigating burnout, and how letting go is often the first step toward transformation.This episode is a rare glimpse into the real, vulnerable, and luminous layers of yoga teaching and leadership—and what it means to stay true to the roots of yoga in a rapidly changing world.Topics Explored:Stewardship of yoga and how to honor lineage without replicating oppressionHow Ignite Your Yoga differs from Susanna's first book, Embrace Yoga's RootsYoga as collective care and community healingYogic leadership born from daily sādhanā and ethical clarityBurnout, perimenopause, and honoring your prakṛti through life transitionsCross-cultural identity and Susanna's role as a “bridge” between worldsBuddhism, yoga, and holding space for spiritual multiplicityWhy comparing your path to others leads us away from dharmaHow to trust the unfolding even in the darkness of “not knowing”Favorite Quotes from the Episode:“There are many ways—myriad ways—to serve and make a difference in the world. Don't get tripped up on having your activism look like someone else's path.” – Susanna Barkataki“Yogic leadership isn't about perfection. It's about a continual refinement—letting our sādhanā nourish our service, and letting our service nourish our sādhanā.” – Susanna Barkataki“Letting go doesn't mean giving up—it just means letting go of control over how you think it's supposed to look.” – Amy WheelerResources Mentioned:Ignite Your Yoga by Susanna BarkatakiEmbrace Yoga's Roots by Susanna BarkatakiSusanna's upcoming book tour and workshops (details on her website)Connect with Susanna Barkataki:Website: www.susannabarkataki.comInstagram: @susannabarkatakiBook Tour Info: igniteyouryoga.orgConnect with Amy Wheeler & The Yoga Therapy Hour:Website: www.theoptimalstate.comInstagram: @amylwheelerPodcast Archive: Yoga Therapy Hour on Spotify/AppleMUIH Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda:www.MUIH.edu
In today's episode, we're exploring something that affects every single cancer survivor, yet often goes completely unspoken: the state of your nervous system, and how it might be silently shaping your menopause symptoms.I am joined once again by the brilliant Dr Louise Oliver, GP and certified breathing practitioner, whose insights on snoring, mouth breathing and menopause had a huge response when she first appeared on the podcast.

Episode Summary: As part of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast's Summer Content Series, this episode features a replay from Molly's former podcast, Live HAPPIER Longer. Originally episode 40, this conversation highlights the extraordinary story of Pat Gallant-Charette, a world-renowned open water swimmer who didn't even start training seriously until age 58.Pat's journey is a testament to what's possible when you stop letting age define your limits. From overcoming grief to chasing world records, Pat's story is filled with resilience, purpose, and bold reinvention. If you're feeling stuck, unsure, or like your time has passed, let this episode remind you: it hasn't.Whether you're working on reducing alcohol or simply trying to live with more intention, Pat's mindset offers a powerful dose of inspiration.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Pat didn't begin serious athletic training until midlifeHow she faced fears and pursued open water swimming in her late 50sThe mental strength required to swim across oceansHow she reframed setbacks, including a near-complete Ocean's SevenWhy her journey embodies aging with optimism and purposeKey Quote:“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Pat didn't just dream it—she dove in headfirst.”Why It Matters for Alcohol Minimalists:Just like Pat challenged her assumptions about age and limits, changing your relationship with alcohol often means questioning the beliefs you've held for years. Pat's story proves that big change is possible at any age and that our greatest chapters can begin later in life. Let it inspire your own path forward—whatever that looks like.Resources & Links:Free Resources from Molly: www.mollywatts.com/resourcesInternational Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame: www.imshof.orgConnect with Molly:Instagram: @alcoholminimalistWebsite: www.mollywatts.comNext Steps:If you've been telling yourself “I can't” or “it's too late,” let this episode be your nudge to reconsider. Change doesn't have an expiration date. It starts with belief—and one small step in the right direction.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

In the final part of the 2025 Market Shift Update, David Sidoni breaks down why affordability is finally improving — and why old affordability formulas don't tell the full story. Discover how falling rates and shifting rent dynamics create opportunities for first-time buyers.For five years, first-time buyers have faced brutal affordability math. Home prices skyrocketed from $315,000 in 2020 to $438,000 in 2025, far outpacing normal appreciation. But the tide is finally turning. In this episode, David Sidoni explains how flattening home prices and falling mortgage rates are reshaping the affordability index in buyers' favor.More importantly, David reveals the fatal flaw in traditional affordability formulas: they ignore rent. Rent is your biggest monthly output — and it's rising no matter what. When you factor in rent replacement, buying often makes more financial sense than continuing to rent. David shows how to use this perspective to assess your readiness and why waiting for “perfect” affordability is a losing strategy.Packed with myth-busting insights, this episode equips buyers with the clarity and tactics needed to move forward in today's shifting market.“Buying a home is not a want purchase — it's a necessity purchase. You're paying for shelter either way.”HighlightsWhy affordability has been so brutal since 2020How today's interest rate drop makes homes more affordable, even at higher pricesThe flawed formula economists use to measure affordabilityWhy factoring in rent changes the entire equationTactical steps first-time buyers can use in today's market shiftReferenced Episodes382 - Part 1: Rates383 - Part 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability279 - New Build vs Resale Houses for First Time Homebuyers350 - From ‘Years Away' to Homeowner: Your Last Lease Ever355 - Real Answers Pt 4 – Should I Rent or Buy in 2025?168 - Get Off Your Ass!Websitewww.getoffyourass.orgConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

In this episode, Lisa and Zack discuss:Understanding the difference between everyday anxiety and an anxiety disorderThe role of technology and social media in contributing to Gen Z anxietyEvidence-based treatment approaches, including exposure therapyParenting strategies to support anxious teens without reinforcing fearKey Takeaways: Anxiety can be defined as an overestimation of threat and an underestimation of one's ability to cope, and it becomes a disorder when it causes significant dysfunction in daily life.Technology use often serves as a “medication” for uncertainty, providing short-term relief but contributing to worsening anxiety, with research suggesting decreased youth alcohol use but no mental health improvement.Accommodations, such as parents completing tasks for anxious teens, can unintentionally reinforce fears; asking guiding questions helps youth build coping skills.Exposure therapy works by gradually confronting fears until they become manageable or are disproven, reducing avoidance and increasing confidence. “Fear and anxiety have an incredibly important role to play in our lives. It's not all bad. It's not a negative emotion, but it is an emotion that requires some understanding and some skill to address.” – Zack SchaferEpisode References:The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/0593655036Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke: https://www.amazon.com/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence/dp/152474672XSPACE Treatment by Dr. Eli Lebowitz: https://www.spacetreatment.net/BePresent App: https://www.bepresentapp.com/Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Zack:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mountainvalleytreatmentcenter/Website: https://mountainvalleytreatment.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-schafer-a6026b108/Fear Less Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/Email: zschafer@mountainvalleytreatment.orgConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co
