In this Meditation, our friend Ruha Cathy Delwiche guides us on a Holy Fire Reiki Journey to explore and integrate the healing power of Air. Air is the quality associated with the direction East, the rising sun, and the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is the beginning of the agricultural year and the time when the Earth awakens. It is an excellent time for us to initiate and celebrate new beginnings. This year, the Spring Equinox was March 20, 2025, so we are a few days past the actual day light and dark were in perfect balance. The energy is still available for us to use and so we will!Our Journey of discovery brings the quality of Air into full focus – we take flight with the Golden Eagle, the highest flying of all birds, and visit each of the cardinal directions and be gifted the quality most representative of that direction. In the North, the gift of KNOW; in the West, the gift of WISDOM; in the South, the gift of CHOICES; and returning to the East, the gift of ILLUMINATION. We will meditate on integrating each of these qualities as revealed in the following affirmation: We KNOW the WISDOM of our CHOICES enhances the ILLUMINATION of our soul. If possible, before your journey, collect a few feathers – they can be collected from the ground outside, a birdcage, or even purchased at the store. We will be empowering the feathers with our intention, and after our journey is complete, we will take our feathers outside and attach them to a low-hanging branch or other structure as an offering to the Spirit of Air. If you are not able to collect some feathers, this is OK – you can use your mind's eye to do the process for you. You can reach Cathy Delwiche for private sessions through her email: cathy@cathydelwiche.com You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

On this first Sunday of Lent we are joined by  Fr Frank Duhig to reflect on our Lenten journey and looking at how the season provides an opportunity for spiritual renewal. In part one we have our regular prayer space and also a brief run through the upcoming liturgical odds and ends while recognising that Lent takes liturgical precedence. Our Journey  in LentIn part two of this weeks podcast we are joined by Fr Frank Duhig who reflects on our journey in Lent and then leads us into our reflection on the Sunday gospel which is Luke's account of the temptation in the wilderness (Lk 4:1-13). He begins by comparing our preparation for Christmas and Lent. Many people like the preparation for Christmas when we are almost encouraged to pamper ourselves, whereas not many people look forward to Lent which is about taking a more restrained approach to life. Fr Frank makes the point that Lent is not a 'spoiling-of-the-fun' season, its a meant to be a time of renewal in our lives. The idea is that we die with Christ, like the seed in the ground, and rise to abundant life. We die to sin and rise to integrity, we die to selfishness and rise to generosity.   The reason why we put ashes on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday is as a sign of that death to the selfish self we are prepared to undergo and a reminder to ourselves as we set out on our Lenten journey.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Send us a textPodcast Episode: Unveiling Truth: Challenging Society's Narratives & Embracing FaithShow Notes:In today's transformative episode, we delve into profound truths and challenge deeply ingrained societal norms as we explore the Ten Commandments, with a special focus on Exodus 20:16: "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor." Hosted by [Your Name] and co-host Simon, this thought-provoking discussion aims to uncover the impact of societal and educational falsehoods on our lives, encouraging you to critically examine the narratives we've been taught. From the complex issues surrounding gender identity to childhood fantasies like the myth of Santa Claus, these untruths shape our perceptions and challenge our moral compass.Society has long built narratives that complicate our ability to discern truth, and in this episode, we're calling you to confront those paradigms. How do these societal lies affect our relationships, our values, and our faith? Join us as we focus on how Christ, as the ultimate cornerstone of hope and endurance, allows us to navigate these turbulent times with clarity and unwavering faith. By confronting falsehoods head-on, we can unlock true understanding and maintain our spiritual peace.We'll also delve into the complexities of social media, where over-sharing has led to a diminished sense of genuine human connection. The paradoxes in society often mask true emotions, and we explore how false narratives in the digital world can create a barrier to authentic relationships. Instead of being swept up in the tide of empty connections, we encourage you to seek genuine engagement, embodying human kindness as a vital step toward personal freedom and finding your way back to the truth.But it's not just about debunking falsehoods. In this episode, we discuss the critical role of encouragement in the spiritual journey. As believers, we're all called to be encouragers in our communities, offering support and love where it is most needed. We discuss how each of us has the opportunity to evangelize in our immediate surroundings by sharing the love of Christ authentically and inspiring others to do the same.The key message today is one of unwavering hope and strength, rooted in the truth of the Gospel. We emphasize the importance of preaching the truth, remaining grounded in your personal relationship with Jesus, and knowing that the truth will set you free. While false narratives and external forces may try to derail us, the Holy Spirit provides us with the strength to stay steadfast in our faith, illuminating our paths and enabling us to positively impact those around us.As we explore these themes, we urge you to reflect on your own life and ask yourself: Are the narratives you believe shaping your life in ways that align with the truth of Christ? How can we better support one another in our walk with faith, love, and truth? The goal of this podcast is to empower you to embrace your calling to spread love, truth, and encouragement wherever you go.Takeaways:Challenge societal norms and falsehoods to reclaim your moral compass.Seek authenticity and kindness in a world filled with over-sharing and superficial connections.Embrace your role as an encourager in your community and evangelize through authentic love and truth.Remain steadfast in your relationship with Jesus Christ, trusting that His truth will set you free.Join Us on Our Journey of Faith and Truth:This episode promises to inspire you to rethink societal expectations, embrace your faith journey, and transform your personal and spiritual liSupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/

Excited to chat with you today.   Michelle (00:05) Me too. So excited to chat with you and I've worked with you before and I'm excited to have you on and super excited that you co-authored this book. And I would love for the listeners to hear your journey and really what inspired you to share your story with others.   Samantha Bonizzi (00:26) Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So just to take a bunch of steps back and kind of share what led me to this point, I guess to start, know, we, my husband and I wanted to start a family. And so like most of our generation, you know, I was on birth control for 12 years and in talking to my doctor about, you know, starting to try.   It was as simple as, know, get off birth control, start trying and see what happens. It should happen pretty quickly if you're lucky. So that's exactly what we did. Sure enough, we were pregnant within a few months of trying, which we were, you know, very excited about, of course, and, you know, just thought we were lucky in that it happened to us so quickly. We   You know, initially, I've kept the news to ourselves for the first eight or nine weeks. And at that point, things had been going well when we went in for our first initial appointments. You know, we saw the heartbeat. The doctor said everything was looking good. The first big milestone, of course, is that 12, 13 week appointment when you go in for the genetic testing. And, you know,   Like I said, up until this point, we at first were being pretty discreet with the news, but we did start to share with close family and friends. We weren't shouting it from the rooftops yet, but we definitely, you know, we were excited. And so we started to tell some of our immediate circle. and so we went in for that appointment, pretty naive. think, we, I had, of course, as a woman, you're familiar with the fact that miscarriages can happen.   My mom had even had two miscarriages during her, after she had me before my brother. But it wasn't something that we really talked about. And it wasn't anything even in my immediate circle in terms of friends or close family members, anything that they had gone through. So I was pretty naive going in. I think we went into that appointment.   excited to just be in an ultrasound and see the baby. It had been five weeks, I think, since I had been in for an appointment. So we were just, you know, excited to see the baby. And even when the nurse was doing the initial ultrasound, the baby came up on the screen. We were like, we didn't notice anything was wrong. We were just like very excited. And then all of sudden we did notice that the technician went quiet. You know,   Michelle (03:07) Mm.   Samantha Bonizzi (03:16) she was kind of dynamic with us in the beginning when we first came in and then all of a sudden her her demeanor changed right away. And then at that point she left to go get the doctor. The doctor came in and simply told us that we didn't have a viable pregnancy. And it was it wasn't our doctor because it was like this genetic doctor that was doing this particular scan for us. So luckily our doctor was in   Michelle (03:42) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (03:45) the same building. So we're able to be like ushered into see the doctor right away and kind of walk through what our next steps would be. But we were just very shocked. We were not expecting that to happen, especially, you know, getting up until that 13 week mark is where we were at. So we kind of felt like and I think also I didn't understand the concept of a missed miscarriage, which is what happened to us.   Michelle (03:51) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (04:14) When I thought of a miscarriage before, assumed it was something that happened where you started to bleed and it happened at home and you know clearly like you are having a miscarriage. So when I went in there and they told me we didn't have a viable pregnancy, I didn't know what that meant, how that happened, why that happened. So it was all very shocking, I would say. So it was at that point, we talked to our doctor, he recommended having a DNC.   Michelle (04:23) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (04:42) which is what we did a few days later and you know, you go into the hospital and that was my first time in that hospital where I thought we would be delivering our baby and then you have to go in there and remove the baby. so that was really, I guess, a surreal moment. and you know, to be frank, like the DNC procedure is pretty quick and painless and you wake up and you're just, the baby's gone. It's not.   Michelle (04:53) Wow, yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (05:10) inside of you anymore. And you're just kind of left unsure of what to do next. They don't really provide you with any resources. They just send you on your way. And in talking with my doctor, he was like, you know, we'll follow up with the results. Like that's part of the reason we did the DNC so that they could test the tissue to kind of confirm because they had he had projected it was likely a chromosome issue. But they wanted to make sure of that. So   said they would follow up in a few weeks. And in terms of like getting pregnant again, it was really like, you could start trying as soon as you get your next period. It's up to you in terms of when you're emotionally ready. Like, well, how am going to know if I'm emotionally ready? Like, this is such a shock to the system. So, you know, I think at that point I was shook for sure. And like I said, I didn't have anybody in my   Michelle (05:54) Yeah. Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (06:06) immediate circle who had been through anything like that. So I kind of didn't know where to turn. At the same time, I didn't really go out and seek a lot of resources because I felt like, you know, the way the doctor described it, it was something that could happen to anybody. It was a spontaneous thing. You know, it's not an indication of there being a problem with you being able to hold on to a pregnancy. So just try again.   And so I think I was just determined, you know, I'm a very, I have a very, I think, know, type a personality where I'm like, okay, let's just like get it done. Let's keep trying. We can do this. And so I was sad, of course, but I was also at the same time, like so determined to just make it work the next time. And so we did really jump into trying again right away. And I think we were pregnant three months later.   Michelle (06:44) Hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (07:05) and you know, I think when you deal with a pregnancy after loss, you're robbed of a lot of things. there's no longer like an immediate joy of a positive pregnancy test because it's like quickly followed with fear and anxiety. It's the same thing can happen to you, you know, going, going into an ultrasound is scary because especially if that's where you found out about your miscarriage, there's a sphere that you're going to receive the same news.   Michelle (07:29) Bye.   Samantha Bonizzi (07:34) And, you know, all those things were definitely building up in my head when we found out we were pregnant. At the same time, I just felt like surely it wouldn't happen to us again. You know, I was sure that we had paid our dues and like this was something that just randomly happened to us the first time and that we would be okay. And even as the doctor, you know, he had flagged   a few concerns, things like the fetal heart rate and the size of the sac and those types of things. And he of just had us continue to come back every two weeks to kind of check on those markers. But I still was like, no, this is gonna work. And so when he told us eight weeks that it would again wasn't a viable pregnancy, I think I was even almost more shocked.   Michelle (08:13) you   Well.   Samantha Bonizzi (08:28) than the first time and you would think that, okay, you've been through this, you know how to deal. It wasn't like that because after the second one, it was almost worse because the realization set in that this wasn't just a spontaneous thing that happened to us. Like to have these miscarriages back to back, I felt like, okay, something must be wrong. Either I've done something to deserve this and I'm being punished or something is wrong with us where this isn't working.   Michelle (08:32) Right.   Samantha Bonizzi (08:55) I think especially being in that short time window too. And when you see everyone around you, like I had all my friends were having babies at that time and it worked for them. Why isn't it working for us? So it was again a shock. I think at that point I told myself we need to slow down. We need to kind of understand if   there is an underlying issue we need to kind of reassess before we just jump into trying again. And I don't know if that's, I don't know exactly what led from the first to the second. And if we did try too soon, I'll never know how those answers, but I just felt like we had to slow down and just reassess what was happening. So at that point, I, you know, I started to go to a fertility clinic, started to have all the testing.   that they recommend for recurring pregnancy loss. And that took a few months. And through all of that, they said everything seems to be fine. It's likely due to poor egg quality or bad luck that this happened, which is on one hand reassuring because when there's not a glaring issue, you at least know, okay, well, this is, you know, there's not something, you know, glaring that's   preventing this from happening. But on the other hand, it's like, if it's bad luck, then why is this happening? And that's actually the title of my chapter is, if nothing is wrong, then how do we fix it? Which is how I felt. You're telling me nothing's wrong, well then what is our path forward? And really it was left unclear. It was, you could do IVF and potentially reduce your risk of miscarriage because you could do things like,   Michelle (10:30) Right. Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (10:46) you know, the genetic testing and everything where you have more of a chance of having a healthy embryo. But that's not a guarantee. Or if you feel more comfortable trying it naturally, you can do that. And so there was this sort of leaning recommendation towards IVF. But then you're like, well, this is a fertility clinic. Do they just want me to do the IVF? Is this really what's best for us? So   Michelle (10:53) Right.   Right.   Samantha Bonizzi (11:11) In hearing all that, you you kind of go through, at least for me, I went through sort of a spiral of guilt around, again, why was this happening? If there isn't a, if there isn't a medical reason, what is the reason, you know, kind of searching for answers in all of it? So you, you know, I definitely went through spirals of why me. And I think what helped at that point was just like hearing other people's stories.   And it really took a lot of effort for me to find those people to connect with on the topic who had been through it. Like I said, I didn't have anybody I knew personally who had been through it, at least on a close knit level. So it was like taking to social media and being connected through friends to other women who had been through something similar and who came out on the other side.   Michelle (11:50) Hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (12:09) And I think that was what was most helpful. I did support groups as well. And I think that was also helpful in just having those regular touch points with people who are going through the same thing that you're going through and just got it. So I think between those two things, that, that really helps with those negative spirals of emotion that I was feeling. you know, in considering IVF, which was a big decision,   Michelle (12:09) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (12:38) It was talking to people who had done IVF and really understanding the process from them that sort of gave me the push to give it a shot. think ultimately it came down to just what I thought best in my gut for us, like in talking to my husband about it. And we felt like it was the right call for us. But again, it was a very hard decision.   Michelle (12:55) Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (13:09) I think, yeah, it was tough, but we ultimately decided to go through with the IVF. And I'm very grateful that we did because we were lucky enough where we had a successful retrieval and a successful transfer. And I'm currently nine months pregnant. So that's kind of where I'm at in a nutshell. And what led me to the book,   Michelle (13:30) Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (13:37) I had been connected, the lead author, her name is Jamie Christ. She was somebody I was connected to through my cousin who actually lives in Miami. And when I was in Miami visiting her, my cousin, that's when I wanted to see you and I was going through the fertility treatment. But my cousin connected me with Jamie as one of those women who had been through something similar to what I was going through to kind of talk through different.   Michelle (13:47) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (14:04) aspects of the journey and resources and things of that nature. And so we kind of just kept in touch and then she was looking for authors to join her on this anthology project that she was working on. And I decided at the time I hadn't found out I was pregnant. I didn't even find out I was pregnant yet. I was just about to transfer when I decided to do it. But it was something, you know, during my journey   Michelle (14:28) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (14:34) I had been journaling a lot and kind of writing about my experience and I always thought, you know, it would be great to share this one day. And so this felt like the right opportunity to do that and to start talking about it and sharing my story. So I joined Jamie and eight other authors, including myself on this book called The Losses We Keep, Our Journey of Fertility, Loss and Neverending Hope.   And it's just a compilation of our stories. So we each have a chapter and we share, you know, what we went through and every story is unique and different. So there's really something for everybody who's either going through, going through it or know somebody who's going through it. So it's really beautiful how it all came together and yeah, kind of what led me there.   Michelle (15:26) I that's so beautiful that first of all, I think there's something therapeutic about sharing your story and getting your story out there. Plus, that is going to help others And it's kind of interesting when you were talking about your experience with a doctor and it was kind of like you went and then they're like, okay, you know, well, it's good luck next time. And then you're off.   with no guidance whatsoever. I hear that story time and time again. I hear it so much that I'm don't they create some kind of like the mental health aspect? Why don't they create some kind of support for people? Because I feel like that's part of the whole process. I feel like it should be part of it. When you're going through a loss like that, and it's often your first loss and   you don't know who to talk to and you might not have a community. Some people don't have anybody like at all. So I just don't understand why I feel like it should be protocol for people going through it. And so that's why I love the fact that you actually wrote the story because I feel like when people hear other people's stories, I think the biggest thing and tell me if this is accurate, it's just knowing that you're not alone, that you're not like alone in this experience.   Samantha Bonizzi (16:24) Yep.   Yeah.   It says that's exactly right. And that was a big part of my why too. was partly being therapeutic and kind of being able to get all of this out there and get it on the page and share it. But it was also being able to help other women feel less alone because that was something I so needed when I was going through it was to have that sense of community or just.   hearing people who had been through the journey and who ended up on the other side. And that's a lot of what Jamie talks about too and why she started this project was because when she was going through it, like, yes, there were resources that you can find in books and things, but at times could feel sort of negative. And she just needed the optimism. And this is really, you know, it's meant to be a beacon of hope for women who are going through it. Yeah.   Michelle (17:25) Mm-hmm. Yeah.   Yeah, I love that. Yeah. It's just, it's something that is so needed. because I think when you're going through that, you really don't have any guarantee. you just don't know how tomorrow is going to be and like how it's going to work out. And it's always kind of like having faith. Okay, well, you know, my past has been disappointment and loss and hurt and pain. And so is my future going to look like that too?   Samantha Bonizzi (17:46) Yeah.   Michelle (17:58) And then what I also thought was really interesting, and I think it's great that you bring up is that when you talked about IVF and you considered it and all the different thoughts that you have, all these things that you think in the back of your head, like, well, are they trying to sell this on me? These are those little thoughts that we all have, but we don't always speak or even acknowledge. It's kind of like sitting there behind everything.   Samantha Bonizzi (18:22) Yeah.   Michelle (18:24) So when you're thinking that what I found really amazing with how you described it is that you assessed, kind of sat with it and you also address the fact that you're like, wait, rather than saying, okay, this is better luck next time, let me try again, again, because there's nothing wrong and kind of going with what you were being told, you let your inner guidance, your inner wisdom, I call it, it's almost like our inner compass leads you to   uncovering more and you're like, wait, I'm not going to put myself through this again, before I get more information. And then also when you got information, you assessed everything and you listened to your gut. always talk to people about that because even I, as a practitioner, cannot bypass that. that's your, you have the intelligence inside your body, inside your mind that guides you to what is right for you.   Samantha Bonizzi (19:22) Yeah, I mean, that was a big, big part of it because it was such a, it was such a heavy decision and you could weigh out the pros and cons all day long. But at the end of the day, it's just what you feel in your gut is right. And I think for us, and I say us, cause it really was a joint decision between my husband and I, even though it was my body, we just felt like we needed to try something different. You know, what we had done historically wasn't working and you know, we trusted   Michelle (19:46) Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (19:51) the doctor that we were working with and we trusted the clinic and I had done a lot of the leg work to get us to that point. I switched fertility clinics, I switched doctors even at that fertility clinic once I was there. So I felt like I had done so much to get us to that point and it felt like the right next step. mean, there was certainly doubt in all of that because I didn't know, I didn't know what was going to happen and the thought of IVF is scary. When you haven't been through it, you don't know.   Michelle (20:07) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (20:20) And I had never dealt with anything medically before either. So even just like being in and out of the doctor and all of that and dealing with doctors, I wasn't used to that. So that was something I really had to orient myself around and learn how to talk to doctors and advocate for ourselves. know, like with all the testing and everything, there were moments where I really did have to advocate and push for more testing and push for them to test my husband's sperm because there was...   Michelle (20:37) Right. Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (20:48) point one which they didn't want to and you know that would feel good to have it be put on the women. So there was a lot of moments where you kind of have to, I don't know, you kind of learn and grow from it I think and that's at least what I tried to take from it but it was all definitely a challenge but yes I agree that just listening to your intuition at the end of the day is what's gonna push you forward.   Michelle (20:51) Yep.   Totally.   Yeah, no doubt. And I know that the community was like a big thing for you too, is just connecting with other people helped you get strength, but also clarity, I imagine.   Samantha Bonizzi (21:29) Yeah, yeah, definitely. And I think, like I said, it was, was in talking to other women who had been through it. And I think, you know, I, when you envision how you start a family, you never envision there to be challenges like this, miscarriages, fertility treatment, all of that. And so, because it was just such a new concept that you kind of have to orient yourself around, it's helpful to hear from other people who had   been through it and can kind of help shed light on the experience and make you feel like, okay, this is actually a moment of strength and not a weakness. It's not a moment of weakness that we are now having to resort to fertility treatment and we can't get pregnant the natural way, which I hate that concept of natural versus medicated. Yeah, it's all natural, right? And that was what   Michelle (22:24) it's all natural. It's a baby. Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (22:29) I told myself in the end, I don't care the path that we get there anymore, I just want the baby in our arms. And so whatever it takes to get there, I will do it. And that helped me, I think come to terms with IVF as well, is that it's the destination that matters, not the journey.   Michelle (22:36) Yeah.   I love that. actually really love that you're saying that because it's true. It's almost like that. As soon as you surrender the how it seems to make things a lot easier, then you're just like, okay, and then because you you're moving with the flow of the how, rather than resisting it at every point, because that resistance is only going to cause more stress.   Samantha Bonizzi (22:51) No.   Yes.   It does.   Yes, exactly. And I think that was a big part of it. When I was going through the testing and everything, it was like, I was trying to gain so much control over every little aspect. I mean, and not even just with doctors, but in, you know, the lifestyle changes that I was making and putting effort into my diet and the supplements and the environment, all those things that you hear about that are supposed to help the fertility and   I think there's definitely some merit to it, but at the same time, it gets exhausting. Just having to, you want to think that you have, yeah, and you want to think you have some semblance of control over the situation, in which for me, it was very much a coping mechanism, because I felt such at a loss with everything, that I was like, okay, if I do these things and I control these things, at least I can, you know, feel like I'm doing something and I'm making, and I'm getting momentum towards, you know, the end goal here.   Michelle (23:46) It's a lot. It's a lot of pressure.   Yeah.   Samantha Bonizzi (24:08) But I think I became very burnt out by it all. so I think the other appealing thing with IVF was like, can kind of surrender to the process and trust the doctors and just choose this as my path forward. And there was some comfort in that.   Michelle (24:26) Yeah, because it's almost like a plan is in place and you're just like following this plan and then you have a direction to go in.   Samantha Bonizzi (24:32) Yeah, yeah, exactly.   Michelle (24:35) And what are other coping skills that you found doing this? Because I know obviously community is tremendous. I know that that is really because we really need people. We're such social beings. We need people. We need to hear that we're not alone. We're not the only ones thinking certain thoughts or feeling certain feelings. So having that community it eases the load, that kind of personal load.   But what are other things that you've done that you feel have helped you in the process just for people listening?   Samantha Bonizzi (25:06) I think therapy was a big one and finding the right therapist who, for me at least, who understood what I was going through and kind of had a more specialized focus in everything maternal health. I had dabbled in therapy before and I was seeing a therapist when I first got pregnant, but I decided to switch after the miscarriage and find somebody who   Michelle (25:21) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (25:36) like I said, was specialized. And, you know, I felt like could get me through the specific situation that I was going through. And I think that was really important for my healing journey, was having that regular touch point of therapy, of talk therapy, and just having an outlet to get everything out and work through whatever it was that I needed to work through.   you know, it's something where you have your friends and family and your partner, but you at the same time might feel like a, at least for me, I felt like a burden a lot of the time, like not really wanting to put that on everyone else around me. So having that like consistent therapy appointment was just always a good outlet for me to kind of sort through the ins and outs of what I was going through. So I think therapy was a big one. And then just like,   generally self-care, whatever was going to get me through, whether it was like making that massage appointment or whether it was related to fertility or not. think just having, getting out for the walk with the good podcast and like prioritizing that, like there was no limits to my self-care time, I think during that window.   Michelle (26:42) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (27:00) you know, whatever I could do to make myself feel better in the short term or the long term was what I was doing.   Michelle (27:06) That's so important because it's kind of like a self-soothing. I think that that is a really good skill to have, to find ways to make yourself feel better. Sometimes that gets neglected. It's not something that we're actually raised to think about. Oftentimes it's actually quite the opposite. We feel guilty about it. We're like, you know, what are you doing sitting around? You're not doing anything. So you feel almost guilty about it. And it's a conditioning because it's really something that is so important really for   Samantha Bonizzi (27:10) Yeah.   Michelle (27:35) our bodies, for our nervous systems. I often talk about nervous system because it's so important for fertility health, but it's also important for your emotional state as well. And I also love that you brought up therapy, but specifically with somebody who is specialized in your specific needs, which there are out there just for people listening.   And you can find people who are very specifically specialized in this field and understand the process. They understand the grieving process and how, you know, there's patterns to every type of emotion. So I think it's really important. Yeah, for sure. And I think also you'll talk to somebody who understands you specifically and what you're going through.   Samantha Bonizzi (28:12) Yep. Yeah. So important. Yeah.   Yes, yes. And it's that and even now it's all connected. Like she, my therapist understands my journey and what got me to this pregnancy and now helping me through this pregnancy and all the other anxieties and fears that I now feel being pregnant after pregnancy loss. There's a lot of nuance to that. having her as part of...   Michelle (28:42) Mm-hmm.   Samantha Bonizzi (28:49) the lead up and into kind where I am now has been really helpful. And even as I enter into postpartum, you know, I think everything around motherhood, it's all there's, and I don't, I'm almost, I'm about to embark on motherhood. So there's a lot to learn, but there's, you know, there's a lot of fear and anxiety. The worrying never stops. So I'm so grateful that I found the right person.   Michelle (29:03) Mm-hmm.   Yeah, that's true. mean, your emotions and everything that you're going through, doesn't just stop when you get to the place that you're looking to get to, you know? So there's always something and it is really important to address because it will come up sometimes and it legitimately is PTSD. mean, so you're going through something and then you were saying about going back to the doctor's office. Yes, because it's like the sensations, the lights, the visuals, all of the things.   Samantha Bonizzi (29:23) Yeah.   Michelle (29:41) those are all reminding us of the last time we were there and all the things that we went through in that time. So it's really important to at least even acknowledge that and know that those things can come up and that they're normal. Like it happens really, can't even think of one patient that has not gone through that, that I've worked with.   Samantha Bonizzi (29:42) Yeah.   Yeah, and that's been the challenge is sort of having to like relive your past traumas. You know, when it comes to pregnancy after loss, you have to do the things that are hard that remind you of the bad times. You know, like you said, going into those ultrasound appointments and dealing with being in the same room you were in when you found out about your pregnancy loss and how to get through that. And   therapy did really help me with that, kind of being able to ground yourself in reality and like, what do I know is true right now? And I think the fact of keeping, you know, reminding myself that this is a different pregnancy with a different outcome with a different story was really important and a concept I kind of picked up from therapy and also support groups and things like that. So   There are all these coping mechanisms at the end of the day. It's still hard, you kind of, there's no way to go but through yeah, it's so true. And so, you know, in order to get there, I had to get pregnant again, had to go through the first trimester, had to get through the ultrasounds in order to get to where I am now. So.   Michelle (31:01) Yeah.   I love that thing. It's true.   Mm-hmm   Samantha, you are so articulate. You're really good with your words. You're really good at describing your experience I could feel the emotion in your voice, even when you're explaining it, like really, like you really walk us through that exact experience very well. Like you could really, really feel it. So first of all, I think it's just, takes a lot of courage to express things or to speak about things that are so personal.   Samantha Bonizzi (31:21) Thank you.   Thank you.   Michelle (31:45) And I know that you're doing this really for the benefit of people listening. So for that, I really want to commend you. think it's just beautiful. And that's kind of like the beauty of life is when you're able to take something that is so hard and so personal and know that you kind of like, it's like alchemy, know, something that can be so painful could serve a purpose for somebody else hearing it.   And then just to also share in that, I guess, that human So thank you so much for sharing that. And for people who want to read this book, how can they find it? How can they find you?   Samantha Bonizzi (32:21) Yeah, absolutely. So we are available. The book is available on Amazon or really wherever you purchase your books. And we've been out for about two weeks. So it's fairly new out in the market, but we're excited about it and hope you'll, whether you're someone going through it or you know somebody going through it. Like I said, there's a story in there for everybody. So we hope it touches you in some way.   I'm the best place to find me is Instagram. So I'm at Sam dot Benizzi. And yeah, I'm public on there, but send me a DM. I'd love to connect.   Michelle (33:03) Awesome. I'll have all the links in the podcast episode notes. So if anybody wants to go in there, you'll find the website and the Instagram and Samantha, you're just such a doll. Like I always liked you from the beginning when he first came in. You just have such a good energy about you. And I just, I really, yeah, I loved, I love having you on here and having this conversation with you. And then just the fact that you co-authored a book is just amazing.   Samantha Bonizzi (33:14) Yeah.   Thank you. Likewise.   Thank you so much for having me and giving me a platform to continue to share. it's been great to connect with you. Like I said, was one time, but you really left a mark. So I'm glad we can kind of stay in contact about it as well.   Michelle (33:47) Awesome. Well, thank you so much.   Samantha Bonizzi (33:49) Thank you.

Our Journey's End

Summary In this episode of the Sacred Echo podcast, hosts Timothy Gillespie, David Ferguson, and Paddy McCoy discuss various themes including the changing seasons, community events, and the importance of discipleship in church activities. They reflect on personal experiences, celebrate milestones, and share insights on sermon preparation and the significance of hospitality. The conversation also delves into biblical themes, particularly the transfiguration, and how these lessons apply to their lives and ministries. In this conversation, the speakers explore various themes related to discipleship, calling, and the nature of following Jesus. They discuss the importance of being present in one's calling, the unconditional patience of God, and the cost associated with true discipleship. The feeding of the 5,000 serves as a metaphor for abundance and community, while the conversation emphasizes the need for sacrifice and transformation in the journey of faith. Takeaways The changing seasons evoke different feelings and experiences. Celebrating community milestones fosters connection and joy. Planning ahead for events helps reduce stress and anxiety. Discipleship should be integrated into all church activities. The transfiguration serves as a reminder of Jesus' significance. Life's growth often occurs in challenging times, not just in triumphs. Hospitality is a vital aspect of community building. Personal experiences shape our understanding of faith and ministry. Sermon preparation requires collaboration and foresight. Understanding biblical references enhances our spiritual journey. It's easy to want more or different in our calling. We should be satisfied in the spot where Jesus has called us. Discipleship involves being sent, not just sitting. Gospel received should lead to gospel shared. God's patience with us is profound and unconditional. The feeding of the 5,000 illustrates God's abundance. Discipleship requires sacrifice and commitment. True following of Jesus is disruptive and challenging. We often seek just enough from scripture instead of transformation. Jesus invites us into a journey that requires flexibility.

It's another solo episode of The Conscious Edge Podcast, Jonathan will be back soon I promise! On this episode I'm explaining how we can reclaim control over our time, set meaningful priorities, and create space for joy, growth, and fulfillment in our lives.  The conversation builds off last week's exploration of relationships and delves into how our calendars reflect what we truly value. When I figured out how to restructure my time, and overcome the limiting beliefs around what is possible, everything changed. Instead of feeling over-booked, I feel expansiveness on days when I've allowed for time to be with my kids or go to an event.  That's what I want for you too. Time for the life you really want to live!  I'm breaking down:  The emotional component to managing a calendar that serves you.  How to put the joyful, important and meaningful things on your calendar first.  The clarity that comes from doing the necessary in the time that is left.  Why time limits and deadlines create resourcefulness and make us more efficient.   How giving myself space to work ahead saves me time and makes me more effective.  When you get clear about what's on your calendar, it will uncover what's not working and will show you where things are out of alignment. Adjusting that opens the door to a joyful life that's also successful and financially rewarding.  I also highlight the importance of being present, and how through mindfulness, even simple tasks can bring clarity and insight. From planning business activities around important life events, to putting hard boundaries on work hours, it's important to create a rhythm in your calendar that enhances both your personal and professional life.  What would it be like if you already had your vacation time blocked off, and the end-of-school event week(s) scheduled? How freeing would it be to know that you've created the space for your favorite holiday experiences?  That's the power of being intentional about what you want your life to look like including the joyful, fun and work-related parts of your life.  This episode is packed with insights into creating balance, redefining success, and ensuring that your time reflects what truly matters to you. As we gear up for open enrollment in the Exponential Entrepreneur, I invite you to take this journey of realigning your time and life with what matters most.

Our Journey actually culminates three days after the event of the crucifixion with the Resurrection of Jesus. The foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ, the basis for our being born again Christians is founded upon the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave after His gruesome execution. Paul the ex-Pharisee and previous murderer of Christians upon His conversion to Christ would write, “If Christ has not risen from the dead then our faith is worthless and we are still in our sins.” Without the death and resurrection of Jesus we would all be lost for eternity. ———————————————————————————————If you'd like to watch Scene Three's (Good Friday) Message, click the link below:https://youtu.be/yO4kIGidDIMConnect with us on Social Media:Website: nbcc.com/Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoInstagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGw----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at hello@nbcc.com.

It's Fine to ask for help!Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.In this episode, we discuss the importance of seeking help. Living in Full-Time Travel presents various issues and struggles along the way. Due to the mindset instilled by our parents, we have maintained the mentality of surviving without assistance. However, it's time for a change in 2024! We kicked off the year by seeking our first bit of help—borrowing our parents' car for six months. They have an old one lying around, and we want to avoid unnecessary paperwork; it's undoubtedly a win-win situation. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather a demonstration of the mindset of a strong person who utilizes their resources wisely.Let “Help” be our word of the year!@2:35 Where are we?@6:52 Our Journey of asking Help late@13:32 Culture of no failure, surviving solo@20:36 "Go-it-alone" attitude.@26:36 Harming by praising self-reliance@28:39 Finally asking for help@31:53 How can we improve asking for help?@34:35 This week's challenge.Things We MentionedHarvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2023/07/why-its-so-hard-to-ask-for-helpPATREONhttps://www.patreon.com/worldtowningIf you would like to support us in a greater capacity where you can snag some cool swag, plus join us for monthly LIVE chats, and get huge discounts on future group trips.

All Home Care Matters is honored to welcome the founder of Sue Ryan Solutions, Sue Ryan. Sue's mission is to empower and embolden individuals to maximize the opportunities and potential change will bring. As a speaker, change strategist, author, executive coach, caregiving coach and mentor, she lives this through two passions of her purpose. She guides and inspires leaders and emerging leaders committed to business growth and next-level leadership to be great leaders of themselves and others. She guides non- professional caregivers to become confident, balanced, and supported in all phases of their caregiving journey. Sue specializes in helping individuals and teams thrive during times of change. Working with them to clarify, align, develop, and implement solutions in highly competitive markets, while creating their culture poised to face the challenges of change with resilience and right action in the direction of their goals, they successfully deliver long-term brand growth and value. Whether change is due to external factors such as market shifts, technology innovation, economic changes - or setting their sights on growth and expansion - understanding the dynamics and psychology of change enhances their ability for success. Sue delivers these through her signature offerings Intentionally Navigating Transitions - Leadership Through the Dimensions of Change, The Prodigy ZoneTM, Leadership C.A.R.E.S.TM, and The Caregiver's Journey. Sue's corporate career of more than 30 years was in enterprise application software sales to companies across industries including Healthcare, Financial Services, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Hospitality, and Utilities. She was responsible for ensuring individuals were poised for change and their organizations were positioned for predictable success. While her performance was consistently recognized in the top tier, her most satisfying achievement was her nearly 100% client retention rate. Sue has been in roles of family caregiving support for more than forty years. She's moved from feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and yes - sometimes frightened - to confident, balanced, and supported, navigating the transitions in her life, her care receivers, and those who support them on their journey. As a speaker, coach, author, educator, and mentor, she shares the lessons, tips, and strategies she's learned to help others positively navigate their caregiving journeys. Sue has been a volunteer mentor of emerging leaders for Menttium since 2011. Sue volunteers in the children's ministry of Gulf Community Church, is a member of the Blue Zone's Engagement Committee, and a passionate technology educator for seniors. Sue is a member of the International Coaching Federation. Through her coaching, Sue earned the John Mattone Platinum-Elite Executive Coach ranking. Sue supports the Leadership Collier Foundation and is a 2023 graduate of Leadership Collier. She volunteers as a speaker and Community Educator for The Alzheimer's Association, and is a speaker and volunteer for AlzAuthors. She has authored or co-authored three International best-selling books. Two are in the field of business. Her non-professional caregiving book is Our Journey of Love, 5 Steps to Navigate Your Caregiving Journey. She created the online course The Caregiver's Journey to support caregivers through their entire caregiving journey. Sue recently gave her first TEDx talk. Next stop, the TED platform.
