In this  episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy offers a powerful new way for dentists, doctors, and high-achieving healthcare professionals to think about wealth. Beyond income, practice growth, and financial freedom, she asks what truly makes a life feel rich.Through a personal story and honest reflections from her years in dentistry, Dr. Tarryn shares why success can sometimes feel like pressure, how “golden handcuffs” can limit freedom, and why time, health, relationships, creativity, and choice may matter more than the next number in your bank account. This episode is a thoughtful reset for anyone who wants more happiness, fulfillment, and freedom without walking away from ambition.Show notes:(0:56) Rethinking wealth beyond money and assets(7:25) Deep relationships shape lasting happiness and health(9:38) Time, freedom, and golden handcuffs(11:21) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations. https://truetomemethod.com/(14:14) Let your definition of wealth change(16:25) Freedom comes from daily choices(18:38) Choose where your focus goes(20:51) Gratitude shifts a dental practice(23:41) Define wealth on your own terms(25:04) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgConnect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

In Week 2 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say. series, we discover that the gospel was never meant to stop with us. In 2 Timothy 2, Paul reminds Timothy that what has been faithfully received must also be faithfully entrusted to others who will continue the work of making disciples.Disciple-making begins and ends with God's grace. His grace fuels our faithfulness, sustains us through the challenges of perseverance, and empowers us to invest in others for the sake of Christ. Though the work is often costly, the reward is seeing God transform lives, and the lasting result is a gospel legacy that reaches future generations.Join us as we explore what it means to faithfully guard the gospel—not by keeping it to ourselves, but by giving it away so others can do the same.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/

She explains how self-shame can show up when your nervous system feels unsafe and why harsh self-talk often adds more stress instead of relief.From parenting and patient care to leading a team, Dr. Tarryn offers a kinder way to respond.

In the opening message of These Things You've Heard Me Say, we begin Paul's final letter to Timothy with a powerful reminder that the Christian life is meant to be passed on. In 2 Timothy 1, we discover that discipleship is spiritual parenthood—a lifelong calling to mature and multiply believers who will carry the gospel to the next generation. A gospel legacy begins with a sincere faith that is completely dependent on Jesus and fully confident in His promises. As we fan into flame the gift God has given us through His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, we become faithful disciples who help others follow Christ. Our mission is not simply to believe the gospel, but to leave a gospel legacy.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/

In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with integrative physician, leadership advisor, and founder of The Mind Re-Mapping Company, Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, for a thoughtful conversation about identity, psychological safety, trauma-informed communication, and what it means to truly create environments where people feel seen, heard, respected, and valued.The conversation begins with an important reminder:Intersectionality includes many identities we don't immediately see.From neurodiversity and trauma experiences to generation, parenthood, education, and professional journeys, our lived experiences shape the way we communicate, lead, and move through the world.Drawing from more than two decades of experience in medicine, coaching, neuroscience, and leadership development, Dr. Maiysha shares how understanding the brain, behavior, and our communication filters can help individuals and organizations build trust, repair relationships, and create psychologically safe workplaces.Together, Dr. Lola and Dr. Maiysha explore how our stories shape us, why emotional intelligence is an essential leadership skill, and how community and vulnerability can become powerful tools for personal and organizational transformation.This conversation isn't only about communication.It's about understanding the invisible experiences people bring into every room—and what becomes possible when people feel safe enough to be fully human.In This Episode, We Discuss: The visible and invisible layers of intersectionality  Neurodiversity, trauma, and identity  How our lived experiences shape communication and leadership  Why psychological safety matters for individuals and organizations  The connection between emotional intelligence and trust  Understanding communication through the lens of the brain  Why emotions are data—not distractions  The importance of vulnerability and modeling humanity as a leader  Building communities of belonging in the workplace  How to lean into your differences as superpowers About the GuestDr. Maiysha Clairborne, MD, is an Integrative Physician, Consultant, Coach, Trainer, and Founder of The Mind Re-Mapping Company.Specializing in psychological safety and trauma-informed communication, she helps organizations create environments where employees feel seen, heard, respected, and valued.Drawing on expertise in medicine, neuroscience, coaching, and communication, Dr. Maiysha helps leaders and teams understand how stress, trauma, and unconscious patterns influence relationships, trust, and workplace culture.She is the creator of the R.E.M.A.P.™ Framework, author of The Wellness Blueprint, co-author of Conscious Anti-Racism, TEDx speaker, and host of the Behind Beliefs, Behaviors & The Brain Podcast.Learn more about her work:

Guarding joy and perspectiveStudents today are constantly exposed to curated lives, filtered images, and highlight reels—and comparison is often the result.In this episode, we equip student ministry leaders to help students navigate the tension between social media and contentment. We'll explore how comparison impacts identity, self-worth, and joy, and how to point students back to truth in a culture of constant comparison.This is a practical and needed conversation for leaders who want to disciple students toward confidence in who God created them to be—not who the internet tells them to be.Help Us Spread the WordIf this episode encourages you, would you consider sharing it?Post this episode — or your favorite episode — on social media and tag us on Instagram or Facebook using @talkstudentmin.

In this episode of Hands in the Soil, we're joined by four guests - Ian and Kristina, co-founders and co-executive directors of The Farmers Land Trust, and Julian and Alita, the visionaries behind the Earthen Heart Farmland Commons in Bangor, Michigan - to talk about a hopeful and replicable model in food systems work happening right now.The conversation that unfolds in this episode is a story about what becomes possible when land is decommodified, when ownership is reimagined as stewardship, and when the right people find each other at the right moment. Julian donated his 19.9-acre Bangor farm, built over 14 years of food forests, medicinal plants, and regenerative land practices, into the Farmers Land Trust, where it became the founding property of the Earthen Heart Farmland Commons. Alita Kelly, founder of Jade Rabbit and steward of community food work across West Michigan, received a 99-year lease on that land and a seat in the ownership structure. This conversation is part origin story, part how-it-works, and part invitation to anyone sitting on land, working with land, or dreaming of a different relationship to it.Tune in to learn more about:What The Farmers Land Trust does and how the farmland commons model works, including the 501c25 legal structure that makes it possibleHow farmers who lease land through this model also get a seat in the ownership structure, and why that changes everythingJulian's 14-year journey as steward of the Earthen Heart property, what he learned, and what guided him toward donating rather than sellingWhat it felt like to ask the land for permission, and to receive an answerWhy healing on this land is inseparable from healing the relationship that communities of color have had with land in AmericaThe vision for Earthen Heart as a site of communal farming, collective living, a freedom school, and transformation through the seasonsThe honest challenges: finding pro bono legal support, aligning values among farm partners, navigating shared leadership, and building something with no mapWhy land is donated all the time (to universities, municipalities, and conservation trusts) and what it would mean to shift that culture toward working farmland and food sovereigntyThe history of the word "homesteading" and why Julian chooses to use it anyway, and the distinction between farming for sale and farming for useLiberty Hyde Bailey, Teddy Roosevelt, the Commission on Rural Life, and the moment over a century ago that set us on the path we're still trying to heal fromResources MentionedEpisode 13: Bringing Hope to the Future of Farmland with Ian McSweeneyEpisode 34: Creating a Farmland Commons with Ian McSweeneyEpisode 48: Solidarity and Community Sufficiency: Land Justice, Food Justice and True Community Empowerment with Kristina Villa et al Liberty Hyde Bailey The Homestead Act of 1862 Connect + Learn MoreThe Farmers Land Trust Website: thefarmerslandtrust.org Earthen Heart Farmland Commons Website: thefarmerslandtrust.org/commons/earthen-heart Earthen Heart Website: earthenheart.comJade Rabbit: jade-rabbit.orgWest Michigan Young Farmers Coalition: youngfarmers.orgConnect with Hannah on Instagram: @hannahkeitel

What if the way you were taught to be strong is also the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy speaks to high-achieving, deeply passionate healthcare professionals and high-achieving women in dentistry who feel the pressure to stay confident, keep giving, and never question the system. She talks about patient trust, provider burnout, moral injury, insurance stress, packed schedules, and the belief that everyone else's needs must come first. This conversation helps dentists, doctors, and healers see why self-trust matters just as much as patient care. When you question the old way with love and courage, you can start building a career and life that feel true to you.Show notes:(3:00) Why the system feels broken(4:03) Confidence, trust, and patient care(8:06) The shadow side of confidence(10:37) Moral injury in healthcare(13:28) Questioning puts power back(15:32) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations. https://truetomemethod.com/(18:25) When everyone else came first(25:40) Living true to yourself(28:30) Small shifts create freedom(31:12) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgConnect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with leadership consultants, podcast hosts, and co-founders of ASQ Empowerment, Dr. Jessie Ferreira and Omar Ferreira, for a thoughtful conversation about identity, leadership, organizational culture, and the experiences that shape the way we lead.The conversation begins where every episode of Thriving in Intersectionality begins—with intersectionality itself.Rather than viewing identity through a single lens, Jessie and Omar reflect on the many visible and invisible experiences that have influenced their leadership journeys. From immigration and cultural identity to childhood experiences, family, service, education, and personal transformation, they explore how leadership is formed long before someone receives a title.Together, they discuss why sustainable leadership begins with self-awareness, how our internal patterns shape the cultures we create, and why understanding ourselves may be the most important leadership work we ever do.This conversation is about more than organizational culture.It's about becoming the kind of leader who can build cultures where people—and organizations—can truly thrive.In This Episode, We Discuss: What intersectionality reveals about leadership and identity  How childhood experiences shape the leaders we become  Immigration, culture, and the power of lived experience  Why leadership begins long before a leadership title  The connection between personal growth and organizational culture  Moving from reactive leadership to intentional leadership  Building trust, relationships, and psychologically healthy workplaces  Why self-awareness is foundational to effective leadership  The power of pausing before reacting  Viewing leadership as an ongoing process of growth rather than a destination About the GuestsDr. Jessie Ferreira and Omar Ferreira are the co-founders of ASQ Empowerment and creators of the Fractal Coherence Methodology, a leadership framework grounded in one central belief:Leadership that begins within is the only kind that lasts.Drawing on decades of experience across higher education, nonprofit leadership, organizational development, and systems thinking, they help leaders and organizations strengthen culture by first understanding the internal patterns that shape how people lead.Learn more about their work and leadership resources: https://asqempowerment.comReflection QuestionHow have your own life experiences shaped the way you lead—and what part of your story are you still learning to understand?Send us Fan MailSupport the showThank you for listening to Thriving in Intersectionality with Dr. Lola Adeyemo.This podcast explores how identity, lived experience, and leadership intersect in today's workplace and beyond.

In Week 12 of our Welcomed. series, we explore two very different responses to the same gospel message. In Acts 17:1–15, Paul faithfully proclaims Jesus in both Thessalonica and Berea, yet one city responds with jealousy, opposition, and hostility while the other receives the Word with eagerness and examines the Scriptures daily.What makes the difference?This passage challenges us to consider whether we approach God's Word as a threat to our assumptions, preferences, and priorities—or as a gift from a good and loving God. The Bereans remind us that the welcome of Jesus creates hearts that eagerly receive the truth, submit to God's authority, and delight in hearing His voice.Join us as we discover the joy, freedom, and transformation that come from receiving God's Word on His terms and allowing the gospel to shape every part of our lives.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/

“I don't want to stay in my grief. I know I'm going to carry it with me, but I don't want to stay in the sadness.”What does it look like to stay connected to someone you love after they die? And how do we make space for grief without losing ourselves inside it?Today's conversation is with children's author Jenny Robinson Clark, whose book Are You Here? was born from the loss of her mother, the experience of raising young children while grieving, and the quiet moments that helped her feel connected again.We talk about the complicated overlap of motherhood and loss, the fear and skepticism that can show up around signs and synchronicities, and the importance of curiosity in grief. Jenny shares honestly about feeling disconnected from her mother years after her death, how creativity became part of her healing, and why she chose to tell this story through a children's book.This episode is gentle, hopeful, and deeply honest about the non-linear nature of grief.If you've ever wondered whether healing means letting go, whether comfort is something you're “allowed” to receive, or how to stay open to beauty after loss, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about:What it was like to lose a mother while raising very young childrenThe fear of death and grief that begins in childhoodWhy grief can feel both heavy and strangely awakeningHow signs and synchronicities can create comfort after lossThe role of curiosity in healingParenting while actively grievingWhy emotional honesty matters for childrenThe connection between creativity, nature, and grief workLearning to notice beauty again after lossWhy grief is never linearLinks + Resources from this episode:Jenny Robinson Clark - jennyrobinsonclark.comPurchase "Are You Here?" at Bookshop.orgConnect with Jenny on IG - instagram.com/jennyrobinsonclarkFollow Mandy on IG - instagram.com/mandycapehartGet the Workbook or become a Patron - patreon.com/mandycapehart

In Week 11 of our Welcomed. series, we explore the powerful truth that the gospel doesn't merely change what we believe—it transforms how we see and love people.In Acts 16:16–40, we encounter a remarkable collection of unlikely people brought together by the grace of God: a wealthy businesswoman, a formerly demon-oppressed slave girl, and a Roman jailer. Though their backgrounds, experiences, and social standing could not have been more different, each is welcomed into the family of God through the same gospel.As Paul and Silas endure opposition, injustice, and imprisonment, we see the contrast between a culture of welcome rooted in self-interest and the welcome of Jesus that begins with God. The gospel expands our vision of who God loves, reshapes our identity, and empowers us to love others with courage, humility, and grace—even in the midst of suffering.Join us as we discover how the welcome of Jesus transforms both our hearts and our relationships, creating a new kind of community centered on God's grace rather than our preferences.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/

In Week 10 of our Welcomed. series, we follow Paul, Timothy, and their companions as they begin a new chapter of gospel mission. Along the way, we discover that the Christian life is not ultimately about maintaining control—it is about surrender.In Acts 16:1–15, Paul willingly lays down personal rights, adjusts carefully made plans, and refuses to take credit for the work that only God can do. Through Timothy's example, the Macedonian vision, and Lydia's conversion, we see that the welcome of Jesus calls us to trust God's purposes above our preferences and His wisdom above our own understanding.Whether it's our rights, our plans, or our desire for recognition, Jesus invites us into the freedom that comes from placing every part of our lives in His hands. As we surrender, we discover that God is the one directing the mission, opening hearts, and advancing His kingdom.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/

In Week 9 of our welcomed. series, we encounter a surprising moment in the life of the early church. As Paul and Barnabas prepare for their next missionary journey, a sharp disagreement leads them to part ways. Rather than hindering the mission of God, however, this conflict becomes another example of how Jesus builds and advances His Church.Acts 15:36–41 reminds us that faithful Christians can hold differing convictions while remaining united around a common mission. Through different personalities, perspectives, passions, priorities, and even problems, Jesus continues to accomplish His purposes. The church was never meant to be a collection of identical people—it is a diverse family brought together by the gospel and sent out for the glory of Christ.Join us as we explore how the welcome of Jesus enables us to pursue unity without demanding uniformity and to remain committed to the mission of God even when we disagree.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/

In Week 8 of our Welcomed. series, we examine one of the most pivotal moments in the early church as believers wrestle with a foundational question: Is the grace of Jesus truly enough?In Acts 15:1–35, the apostles confront attempts to add requirements to the gospel and affirm the life-changing truth that salvation comes through grace alone. The welcome of Jesus is not earned through religious performance, cultural conformity, or personal achievement—it is received through faith in Christ. Yet the gospel doesn't stop there. The same grace that welcomes us into God's family also transforms the way we live with and love one another.Join us as we discover how the welcome of Jesus calls us to live securely under God's grace and faithfully from God's grace, finding freedom in Christ while learning to love others with humility, sacrifice, and unity.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/

As a parent, you are surrounded by all the shoulds, should nots, and strong opinions on how you should parent. When you are a responsive parent, it can feel like all that noise doesn't align with your values. In this episode I'm joined by Claire Felps, a counselor specializing in acceptance commitment therapy, to talk about showing up as a responsive parent in a world that isn't always supportive. We talk through a few different scenarios, walking you through some of the things we'd each consider with a client. Our conversation focuses on rules verses values, how values can open up your experience, and the need for flexibility in how we approach situations. We also talk about self compassion and the trial and error part of parenting as well as the nuance that makes parenting littles around sleep so messy. About ClaireClaire Cavos-Felps is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Maryland and Virginia, the founder of Metamorphosis Counseling, and a Postpartum Support International trained therapist. She specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and applies that framework to the very real, very exhausting experience of early parenthood. A parent of four herself, Claire understands that knowing the “right” answer and actually feeling okay at 2am are two very different things — and she's passionate about what happens in that gap, and what actually helps.Connect with Claire Website: www.metamorphosiscounseling.orgConnect with Kim Grab a free sleep myth busting guide and learn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdc

If you haven't listened to Episode 182 yet, go back — this conversation picks up about five minutes later. Ron Horton, DPE extraordinaire, returns with the crew to finish what he started: a data-driven, story-rich tour through what actually happens on checkrides, what actually trips people up, and what a lifetime of examining pilots looks like from the other side of the table.In this second half, Ron walks through his color-coded scorecard of common ground and flight failures — weather, cross-country planning, airspace, and the takeoff and landing tables that trip up nearly half of all students. Spoiler: if your entire weather education came from ForeFlight, you and aviationweather.gov need to get acquainted. We also dig into why so many students arrive with no mechanical intuition whatsoever (one applicant had never cut grass — and had someone for that), why VOR navigation has become a near-lost art, and what it means when a student shows up with a perfectly calligraphed weight and balance that they clearly didn't do themselves.Brian gets called out — gently — for overthinking his commercial W&B scenario, which as it turned out had absolutely no landmine in it at all. Ron also makes the case that showing up with a pre-tabbed FAR/AIM you bought online is a very different thing from showing up with tabs you put there yourself. And he closes with the phrase that stuck with Brian after the checkride: What's time to a hog? — a farmer's wisdom about taking the long road when the long road is worth it.Mentioned on the Show:aviationweather.gov: https://aviationweather.govSeth Lake (VSL Aviation) YouTube: https://youtube.com/@VSLAviationJason Miller — The Finer Points: https://thefinerpoints.netFreedom Aviation Network: https://freedomavnetwork.orgConnect with the Show:Website: https://midlifepilotpodcast.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/midlifepilotpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@midlifepilotpodcastEmail: midlifepilotpodcast@gmail.com

Following Jesus was never meant to be comfortable — and Acts 14 makes that unmistakably clear. In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we see Paul and Barnabas face opposition, miracles, misunderstanding, and suffering, all while pressing forward with the gospel. The welcome of Jesus is a courageous welcome. It requires doctrinal courage — the kind of patient, persistent commitment to the good news that keeps showing up and speaking truth even when the response is slow or hostile. It requires courage to respond in faith, trusting the work of God not just in dramatic moments of healing but in every ordinary area of life. It requires the courage to walk humbly, resisting the pull toward pride and self-promotion that can subtly derail even the most sincere ministry. And it requires the courage to get back up — because the road of faithful witness will include setbacks, and the question is never whether we'll get knocked down, but whether we'll rise again. Jesus himself modeled this kind of dependent, courageous life, and through Him, we're invited to do the same.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/

In this episode of It Takes Balls, licensed marriage and family therapist Renee Calhoun joins the podcast to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of a testicular cancer diagnosis: the emotional and relational impact it can have on patients, partners, children, and families.Drawing from her professional experience as an LMFT, Renee explains how cancer affects far more than physical health. The conversation explores the fear, uncertainty, anxiety, and identity shifts that often follow a diagnosis, especially for men who may feel pressure to stay strong or avoid emotional vulnerability. She also shares practical insight into how couples can communicate more effectively during treatment and recovery, even when both partners are struggling in different ways.Renee also offers guidance for parents trying to explain cancer to children, emphasizing the importance of honest, age-appropriate conversations and emotional openness within the family.Throughout the discussion, Renee highlights why mental health support should be viewed as an important part of the cancer journey not just for patients, but for caregivers and loved ones as well. Her perspective brings a compassionate and practical voice to conversations that many families struggle to navigate alone.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyHave a question for a future expert guest?

What if the quality that we've been told will weaken us - self-compassion - is actually the key to wellbeing, and higher performance?In this episode, Dr. Kristin Neff, the pioneering researcher who first defined and measured self-compassion, challenges one of the most persistent myths in high-performance culture: that being hard on yourself makes you better. It doesn't. Thirty years of research says otherwise.Kristin Neff unpacks how self-compassion isn't self-pity or laziness, but a profound source of inner stability and flourishing, especially for leaders operating under relentless pressure. We explore why self-esteem is a fair-weather friend that deserts you the moment you fail and why unconditional self-worth is a far more stable foundation for growth and higher productivity. If you lead people, manage under pressure, or simply want to stop letting failure define you, this conversation will change how you think about what it means to thrive.What you will learn: Why self-compassion outperforms self-criticism for performance and growthThe three components of self-compassion and how to practice themHow just 20 seconds a day can measurably raise your self-compassion levelsWhy psychological safety must begin with the individual, not the organizationEpisode Chapters0:36 Introduction to Self-Compassion1:46: Common Myths About Self-Compassion5:32: The Shift from Self-Esteem to Self-Compassion17:28: Three components of Self Compassion17:54: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion39:22: Practical Self-Compassion Practices40:42: 20 Second Micro-Practice (UC Berkeley)RESOURCESConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: Dr. Kristin NeffRecommended Reading: Self Compassion: The power of being kind to yourselfFierce Self compassion: How to Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Your Power, and ThriveWebsite: selfcompassion.orgConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

Have you ever wondered where you fit in the grand sweep of history — or whether your life is part of something bigger than yourself? In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we walk through Paul's sweeping sermon in Acts 13 and discover that the welcome of Jesus is an invitation into God's greater story. From Israel's enslavement in Egypt to the resurrection of Jesus, we see a God who chooses broken people, meets them in their brokenness with faithfulness and patience, and provides them with a Savior sufficient for everything the Law could not accomplish. Jesus is the better David — uncorrupted — and the better Moses — completing what could never be finished by human effort. But this story doesn't just call for our admiration; it calls for a response. Will we keep investigating, reject it outright, or turn to Jesus in worship? For those who do turn to Him, the transformation is real — a new purpose, a secure identity, overflowing joy, and the power of the Holy Spirit. You were never meant to be a spectator. God wrote you into this story on purpose.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/
