The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Peace and joy await when you allow others to make their own decisions, even if you think they are bad decisions. It is deeply freeing and surprisingly energizing when you stop trying to fix other people. Pearls of Wisdom: Letting go of trying to fix others not giving up—it's trusting others to be on their own journey. Trying to manage, fix, or protect everyone is a hidden source of burnout and energy depletion. Showing up with "loving amusement" rather than control is a powerful act of mindful compassion. The gesture of "hands wide open" brings curiosity, calm, and even play into the present moment. Choosing peace often looks like not engaging, not defending, and simply saying: "How interesting." Reflection Questions: Where am I over-functioning in my relationships or at work? Where can I release control and choose presence and curiosity instead? What might it feel like to meet life with hands wide open? What do I notice when I stop managing and fixing? If this episode resonated with you, explore coaching at www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching. Join an upcoming retreat at www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. They are both beautiful opportunities to cultivate authenticity, presence, and peace. If you'd like to bring this work to your team, institution, or conference, I would love to speak or lead a workshop. You can reach out through www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking.

In this inspiring and captivating episode of Pearls of Wisdom, we chat with Jerry and Amanda Robinson of Robinson Family Jewelers in Cortland, New York. What began as a dream during the COVID-19 pandemic has become a shining success story of passion, grit, and family values. Jerry, a veteran of over 36 years in the jewelry industry, and his daughter Amanda, a gemologist, built their business from the ground up—literally painting, remodeling, and marketing everything themselves. Together, this "Dream Team" turned Robinson Family Jewelers into a beloved local treasure, named Finger Lakes' Favorite Jeweler five years in a row. From overcoming the economic uncertainty of opening during a pandemic to weathering four years of construction outside their storefront, the Robinsons' journey embodies resilience and heart. Their dedication to the community shines through—from offering free watch batteries to first responders to building lifelong relationships with customers. Their philosophy? It's not just about selling jewelry; it's about celebrating life's moments, giving back, and treating every customer like family. Now, as they prepare to open their new, larger, and fully owned location, Jerry and Amanda reflect on the lessons they have learned, their growth as entrepreneurs, and the importance of maintaining authenticity and kindness at the center of their business. If you've ever dreamed of building something meaningful from the ground up, this episode will leave you inspired. Tune in to hear how love, legacy, and a little sparkle can turn challenges into triumphs.

Pastor Levi and Lisa talk about the wisdom of Solomon from Ecclesiastes 7:1-29. This is an episode of Pearls & Swine on the Evangel Houghton Podcast from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, November 5, 2025.
In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Vayeira, the fourth portion in Genesis, focusing on Abraham's experiences and virtues. He highlights Abraham's revolutionary monotheism and his open-tent hospitality, exemplified by welcoming guests even while recovering from circumcision at age 99. God mercifully makes the day extremely hot to deter travelers, allowing Abraham rest, yet he eagerly runs to greet three angels disguised as men. These angels deliver missions: healing Abraham, announcing Sarah's impending pregnancy, and preparing to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes humility as essential for true kindness, drawing from the Ramban's letter advising to view others as greater, fostering respect and empathy.The discussion delves into the necessity of truth (Emes) for humility and self-improvement, quoting the Chida on avoiding arrogance by honestly assessing one's flaws and gifts from God. Rabbi Wolbe explains that truth demands no compromise, unlike modern courts or even halacha (except for mezuzah placement symbolizing household peace). He stresses accepting personal shortcomings—such as overindulgence or arrogance—as the first step to repair, noting that denial prevents growth. Abraham's plea for Sodom, despite its wickedness, reflects his humble recognition of potential in others and reliance on divine gifts like persuasion.Ultimately, Rabbi Wolbe teaches that success lies in effort, not results, as per the Mishnah in Ethics of Our Fathers: one must strive without expecting to complete the task. He shares personal anecdotes, like his father's focus on best effort over grades, and urges listeners to build individual closeness to God, like the patriarchs, through daily mitzvot and truth. The episode ends with a call to sponsor content via TORCH in Houston._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 4, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 5, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Exhaustion and disconnection don't always stem from doing too much, often they stem from pretending too much. In today's episode, we explore surprising truths about energy, authenticity, and what it really means to show up as yourself in medicine and in life. What if the path to healing, for ourselves and for others, comes from standing out, not blending in? Conformity has a significant cost. Deep-seated energy leaks often stem from hiding our true selves. We hope you will take us up on the invitation to uncover and embrace the most radiant, wholehearted version of you. Pearls of Wisdom: Authenticity is the most efficient and sustainable way to manage your energy. Conforming and performing often disconnects us from joy and purpose. Your originality and uniqueness are not liabilities because they are your greatest offering. Standing out with sincerity makes you a beacon of safety and belonging for others. Peace and presence are found not in perfection, but in being whole. Reflection Questions: Where in your life do you feel most like your authentic self? Where do you find yourself performing or people-pleasing, and what does that cost you? What would it feel like to walk through your day radiantly, peacefully you– without apology or armor? If this conversation speaks to your heart and you're ready to live, lead, and love with more authenticity, we invite you to join us for a mindfulness-based retreat: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. For personalized support, explore coaching at www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching.

Have you ever battled deep discouragement and wondered if God could still use your life? When the weight of sorrow feels unbearable and hope seems distant, it can be hard to see how redemption or restoration could ever come. Yet even in seasons of anguish, God is still working through the care of others and the quiet power of His grace.In this episode, Tracie is joined by Cindy Healy as they continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” with a moving look at the life of William Cowper. Though marked by pain, doubt, and despair, Cowper's story reveals the incredible redemption God can bring through faithful friendship and compassion—especially through his bond with John Newton. His life proves that no matter the mental struggles—depression, anxiety, or another illness—God can use anyone to do His work. Together, Tracie and Cindy share how God used Cowper's trials to produce hymns of deep beauty and hope, reminding us that even in our darkest struggles, He can bring restoration and lasting glory to His name.PEARLS & GRACE – Here's the link for the book mentioned in this episode.

In this episode of the Pearls of Wisdom Jewelry Podcast, we sit down with the remarkable Todd Malcolm of Malcolm Jewelers in Moline, Illinois. A third-generation jeweler with more than 39 years of experience, Todd carries forward an 80+ year family legacy that began with his grandfather in 1941. From their roots in Philadelphia to building one of the Quad Cities' most trusted jewelry names, Malcolm Jewelers has stood as a symbol of craftsmanship, family, and community. Todd shares how he boldly transformed the business in 2003 from a traditional 3,000-square-foot full-scale jewelry store into a specialized, by-appointment-only jeweler. This shift not only allowed him to reduce overhead but also gave him the freedom to connect personally with clients and focus on what he does best: custom jewelry design, restoration, and one-of-a-kind creations. His celebrated Stories from the Heart Collection—inspired by love, family, faith, and personal milestones—represents both his artistry and his dedication to creating meaningful jewelry that tells stories across generations. We explore the challenges of navigating changing economies, evolving consumer habits, and the shift from retail to wholesale. Todd shares one of his most meaningful successes—creating his first piece, "In Mother's Arms", after losing his brother to cancer. The pendant raised $8,000 for Gilda's Club and touched countless lives, including a woman who wore hers until her granddaughter's remission. This heartfelt beginning helped launch his Stories from the Heart Collection. He also offers invaluable advice for young jewelers: embrace education through Gemological Institute of America (GIA), gain hands-on experience in independent jewelry stores, and get involved in your local community. This conversation is filled with wisdom, legacy, and inspiration. Todd's journey proves that jewelry is more than metal and stones—it's about meaning, connection, and memories. Tune in now and discover why Malcolm Jewelers and Todd's story are truly gems worth celebrating! Don't miss this episode—listen, learn, and be inspired!

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Empowerment isn't about pretending everything is fine; it's about remembering that we always can choose our response. Today, Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang explore the healing power of choice. We share how we can shift from complaining into creativity and how we can move from victimhood to agency, mindfully. We invite you to stop waiting for permission or for the system to fix itself, and instead to lead with integrity, clarity, and love. While we can't fix the entire system, we can always choose how we show up within it. That is where true healing begins. Pearls of Wisdom • Empowerment is not toxic positivity, it's remembering our response-ability, our ability to choose how we meet what is. • A growth mindset asks, “What now?” even when circumstances feel stuck or unfair. • Boundaries are an act of love, not rebellion. They protect our empathy and preserve our capacity to care. • Micro-agency, tiny acts of intentionality throughout the day, rebuilds trust in ourselves and renews energy. • Shifting from complaining to creativity transforms not just us, but the culture around us. Reflection Questions Where do we have choice, even if it's seemingly small? What would it look like to lead with agency today? How can we show up as a lighthouse in healthcare, rather than a rescue raft? If this conversation resonates, I invite you to explore coaching with me to help you name and shift patterns of disempowerment in your life and career: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching You can also join me at a Pause & Presence Retreat. A nurturing, transformational space to reconnect to what matters most: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you would like to bring a more mindful, compassionate approach to your institution, team, or training program, I'd be honored to speak or lead a workshop: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking You can also invite Dr. Liang to speak or lead a breathwork workshop for your group: www.awakenbreath.org Together, one mindful choice at a time, we can shift the culture of medicine. *Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.
We can all probably remember a coach, mentor, or teacher whose interest and investment in us completely changed our lives. It's easy to see how others have impacted us, but not always what sort of impact we have on others. You were made to do for someone else what someone once did for you. But how do you go about it? How do you pour into someone else without overstepping your bounds or making it weird? And why is it essential?

In this` sermon from Matthew 7:6, Pastor Kudzo warns believers to exercise discernment in sharing sacred truths, recognizing that not everyone is ready or willing to receive them. It calls Christians to balance compassion with wisdom, protecting the holy from contempt while still reflecting Christ's love to all.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure of infinite worth. Jesus' parables reveal the supreme value of Christ and His Gospel; He is the treasure who gave up everything to purchase the field (the world) for the sake of His people. When Jesus offers up this priceless treasure, he is rejected in His own hometown, a stark reminder that the saving power of the Gospel is lost where unbelief holds sway. The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 13:44-58. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Wolbe explores Parshas Noach, focusing on Noah's righteousness, the flood, and the ark's survival (Genesis 7:23). He delves into Rashi's comment about Noah's lion bite, Talmudic insights on divine image and heavenly intent, and the generational impact of biblical figures. Key themes include:Noah's Righteousness and Flaw: Noah's tireless care for animals for a year without sleep reflects his righteousness, but a minor delay in feeding a sick lion led to a bite, showing even small lapses affect one's divine image (Talmud Shabbat, Sanhedrin) (1:07–6:19).Heavenly Intent: Actions must be for heaven's sake, not personal gain. Noah's dedication, despite the bite, parallels the principle that pure intent is credited as action, as seen in consistent charity habits (6:19–8:17).Generational Impact: Abraham's service to angels was mirrored by Hashem for the Jewish people, impacting seven generations to Moshe. Noah's preservation of life laid humanity's foundation, showing our actions shape descendants (ma'aseh avot siman l'banim) (9:45–13:21).Land of Israel: The Torah's promise to Abraham's lineage refutes modern claims (e.g., Ishmael's precedence), reinforcing Noah's role in ensuring humanity's continuity (14:40–15:58).Foundational Moments: Early education (e.g., Vilna Gaon), marriage, and habits are critical, like Noah's foundational work. Beginnings are hard but shape future generations, as seen in prayers for Torah's sweetness (16:49–22:00)._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on October 21, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 22, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

#194: What if the best part of your plans is the part where nothing happens? This week, I share a soul-soothing weekend that swapped spectacle for substance: a glowing 21+ Halloween night at the botanical gardens, a book club meet-up by a fire pit, and a Pearls and Prosecco bridal shower that left me believing in big love again.We start with the garden event..... warm air when I wanted crisp fall, neon swings, and the kind of cocktail line that tests your will to live. I found sanctuary in a shorter line and a cinnamon-kissed sangria that tasted like sweater weather. The real magic happened off the path, huddled around a fire with friends who know the power of unhurried talk. From there, we dive into my ongoing saga with audiobooks versus podcasts and what attention really means when life is already full of noise.Then the vibe flips: a bridal shower for a friend whose joy fills the room. We fold paper flowers, lose graciously, and win on spirit. I spiral over a “dressy but casual in black” dress code, then remember the only rule that matters..... wear what lets you stand taller. Along the way, I confess my anti-horror stance with stories from haunted houses I barely survived and how choosing gentle fun is not boring, it's intentional. The throughline is simple: small gatherings, shared laughter, and people who check on you are the real markers of a full life.If you're craving connection without the chaos, this one's for you. Hit play, settle in, and let a cozy, honest recap remind you that the little moments count. If something here made you smile or think, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more cozy souls find us.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
A mindful, honest, and hopeful exploration of victimhood in medicine—what it is, how it shows up, and why so many of us feel trapped, powerless, and unseen within a deeply flawed system. We invite you to listen with curiosity and self-compassion, knowing that if you've found yourself here—tired, discouraged, or resigned—you are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you. Rather than shaming or simplifying, we offer this conversation as a compassionate mirror and a naming of what's real with clarity, awareness, and care. We unpack moral injury, systemic betrayal, learned helplessness, and the quiet culture of resignation that seeps into even the most well-intentioned among us. Naming where we are is the essential first step to healing. This is part one of a two-part series. In this episode, we shine a mindful light on the roots of victimhood. In part two, we will offer mindful paths forward from powerlessness to purpose. Pearls of Wisdom: Victimhood is not weakness, it's a human, protective response to chronic dysfunction. And it's not where you want to live. Naming victimhood with empathy, not judgment, allows us to reclaim agency, even within a broken system. Noticing where we give away our power is the first mindful step toward healing and change. Systemic “solutions” like suggestion boxes may unintentionally reinforce helplessness unless paired with authentic engagement and choice. Reflection Questions: When have you felt the most powerless in medicine? What helps you feel safe and what erodes that sense of safety? What would it mean to believe that you still have influence, even in a broken system? Don't miss the Mindful Moment at the end of this episode. It's an opportunity to ground, reflect, and reconnect to your inner wisdom with clarity and compassion. If this conversation resonates, I invite you to explore coaching with me to help you name and shift patterns of disempowerment in your life and career: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching You can also join me at a Pause & Presence Retreat—a nurturing, transformational space to reconnect to what matters most: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you would like to bring a more mindful, compassionate approach to your institution, team, or training program, I'd be honored to speak or lead a workshop: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking You can also invite Dr. Liang to speak or lead a breathwork workshop for your group: www.awakenbreath.org Together, one mindful conversation at a time, we can shift the culture of medicine.

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins the fourth cycle of weekly Torah insights with Parshas Bereshis, focusing on creation's profundity and life's lessons from Genesis 1:25–27. He emphasizes Hashem's deliberate design, urging listeners to derive ethics from nature if Torah were absent, while highlighting Torah's elevation beyond instinct.Creation's Depth: Bereshis holds infinite secrets; a rabbi spent 25 years on one book about the six days, yet Rabbi Simcha Wasserman deemed it insufficient. No full week exists to study it due to holidays, protecting its mysteries (0:12–4:48).Animal Essences and Lessons: Animals are created "according to their kind" (limino), each with unchangeable traits (Talmud Eruvin 100b). Examples: cat (modesty), dog (forgiveness), camel (self-sufficiency for true kindness), ant (diligence per Proverbs 6:6). Rambam story proves nature's immutability—trained cats chase mice. Without Torah, animals teach conduct; with Torah, it refines (e.g., "do not murder" prohibits embarrassment) (6:26–14:40).Human Creation and Genders: Hashem created male/female binary ("zachar u'nekeva"), rejecting modern fluidity (5:47–6:26).Divine Messages Everywhere: King David learned from all creatures except the spider, which later saved him. Every event is Hashem's message—learn from situations (e.g., supermarket observations). National Geographic shows animal defenses/predators in balance; Pesach song illustrates chain, but fear only Hashem (15:14–20:27).Call to Action: Read the Chumash (Stone Edition by Artscroll recommended)—it transforms life. Journey through Torah starts now, learning from all creation (20:27–21:18)._____________This episode (Ep 8.1) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bereishis is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on October 17, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 17, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired!

In the 09/1/2018 Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology's (SASGOG's) Pearls of Exxcellence publication, “Management of Preeclampsia at Term”, it states: “If hypertension management requires acute IV treatment, it is often prudent to initiate oral labetalol or EXTENDED-release nifedipine to maintain blood pressures below the severe range. Intrapartum blood pressure management and consultation should not delay progress towards delivery. Fetal monitoring should be continuous.” In the original ACOG CO 692 from 2017, oral nifedipine was first referenced as an alternative to IV meds GIVEN INTRAPARTUM, stating, “Although relatively less information currently exists for the use of calcium channel blockers for this clinical indication, the available evidence suggests that immediate release oral nifedipine also may be considered as a first-line therapy, particularly when intravenous access is not available.” This may be given orally as 10mg, 20mg, and 20 mg separated in time by 20 minutes per dose. Notice it says “immediate release oral nifedipine”. But what about EXTENDED release nifedipine intrapartum as stated by the SASGOG? Is that an option after immediate attentive and therapy has been given with IV anti-hypertensives? Listen in for details.1.

Ben and Nathan weigh in on New England Law's conditional, full-tuition scholarships. They criticize conditional scholarships that can leave a majority of students paying full price. At most law schools, only top students (typically those already with scholarships) will secure six-figure jobs. The majority of the class foot the bill, taking out exorbitant loans while earning significantly less after graduation. Ben and Nathan encourage applicants to apply broadly and attend the right school at the right price.

“Godly sorrow worketh repentance.” — 2 Corinthians 7:10 Genuine, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature's garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If thou hast one […]

What if love doesn't look like fixing, managing, and controlling? What if letting go is the most loving thing you could do? Today's episode shares the story of what becomes possible when we choose peace over control. Our guest is Carol Howe, a school psychologist whom I met through a virtual Women of Dartmouth event in 2023. Her story is a testament to how the tools and wisdom of coaching are helpful well beyond the realm of healthcare. Her story illustrates how the most significant change always comes from within. Carol shares how coaching helped her move from feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and helpless in the wake of family mental health struggles and marital stress, to a place of peace, trust, and presence - without anyone else having to change. Pearls of Wisdom: You don't have to fix it to love it. Real love doesn't come from fixing, managing, or controlling—it comes from presence, compassion, and acceptance (even when you don't like something). Be the lighthouse. When others are riding waves of emotion, your steadiness is the greatest gift you can offer. It starts with caring for yourself first. Just like me. This simple phrase softens resentment and reconnects you to the humanity in the people around you, even when they can't or don't want to change. Change begins with you. Nothing outside you has to change for you to feel more peaceful and empowered inside. Your story shapes your life. Carol's powerful insight came when she realized the life she had once written as a “future story” had come true—because of how she chose to think, feel, and show up. Reflection Questions: What might “being the lighthouse” look like in your life today? Where are you stuck in fixing, managing, or controlling? What if letting go created more connection? What story are you telling yourself about your relationships—and what story do you want to tell in the future? Whether you're navigating challenges in your marriage, with your children, or within yourself, coaching offers the kind of compassionate, forward-focused support that can truly change your life—no matter your profession or background. If Carol's story inspired you or you're feeling stuck, lost, or desperate for change, 1:1 and/or group coaching may be precisely the shift you need.
