On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Aanya talks with innovation coach and life-design expert Ibeth Ayala, author of No Risk, No Fun and From the Ground Up. This conversation cuts through buzzwords to show how real innovation begins with self-honesty, not strategy decks. Ibeth unpacks her Connect → Create → Try framework, how to spot rising stress before burnout, and why “permission to fail” accelerates progress in careers and companies—especially in legacy industries like insurance. If you're navigating exhaustion, change, or a high-stakes role, this episode offers a direct path to clarity, creativity, and sustainable action. About the Guest : Ibeth Ayala is an innovation coach, life-design expert, and internationally best-selling author. After a personal reset in her 20s, she's spent years guiding leaders and teams to shift from burnout to bold creativity, building innovation capacity across sectors from insurance to aviation. Key Takeaways: Innovation is an inner game first. External tactics don't land without personal clarity on needs, priorities, and values. Burnout ≠ only about work. Life stress compounds; address the whole system—relationships, health, money, career—rather than a single silo. Use the 3-step loop:Connect (self-check: what do I need?), Create (options, reframes), Try (small experiments to validate). Catch stress early. Rate stress 1–10 and intervene sooner; prevention beats recovery. Drop inherited beliefs. Question norms like “marriage/work is supposed to be hard” and choose what actually serves your life design. Permission to fail—fast. In teams, name failure as expected learning. The sooner you see what doesn't work, the faster you progress. Risk drives momentum. No risk, no fun: calibrated risks unlock creativity and engagement, especially in traditional sectors. Context matters. Diets, routines, and advice are abstractions until personalized to age, health, history, and goals. Design your “ground.” Clear the old (assumptions, limits) before planting new habits—like prepping soil before a garden. Sustainable innovation = ongoing tuning. You don't need to hit rock bottom; build awareness and adjust before crisis.

If you've ever looked at your business, your brand, even your personal relationships, and thought, “This used to feel right… but now I'm not so sure,” you are not alone, and you are not broken. Jen Hatmaker is no stranger to the hard and holy work of reinvention. She's a bestselling author of 14 books (including four New York Times bestsellers), the host of the award-winning For the Love podcast, and a beloved leader to a community of over 1.6 million. But her newest book, AWAKE, isn't about business strategy. It's about what happens when your identity, your roles, and your life fall apart… and how to rebuild from a more honest, more aligned place. Jen walks us through what she calls a Midlife Renaissance, not a crisis. It's a powerful season of reassessing everything you've been told about womanhood, worth, work, and success… and reimagining a life and business that truly feels like you.

This week on Girls Night, we're asking one of the biggest — and maybe most important — questions we can ask ourselves: Do you like your life? And even more — do you believe you're allowed to? So many of us have followed all the rules, checked all the boxes, and built the kind of life we thought we were supposed to want — only to look around and wonder why it doesn't feel like home. In this episode, we're slowing down, taking inventory, and learning how to remodel the parts of our lives that no longer fit. We'll walk room-by-room through your “life house” — your relationships, your body, your work, your faith, your family, your joy — and ask some simple but powerful questions:
Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery starts with identity. If success feels empty or you fear it's too late to grow, this episode reveals why expansion isn't arrogance—it's alignment. Discover the root-level recalibration that restores clarity and courage.Do you ever wonder if it's too late to make a change—or fear you'll be too much if you step into the expansion you feel called to? High-capacity humans often hit this hidden ceiling, not in opportunity, but in permission.This episode of The Recalibration speaks directly into that quiet inner dialogue: Did I miss my window? Who am I to do this? Drawing on the story of Colonel Sanders, who franchised Kentucky Fried Chicken at 65 after more than a thousand rejections, Julie Holly reframes the cultural script of “too late.”You'll discover how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) dismantles outdated roles like Prover, Performer, Provider, and Perfectionist—the very identities that keep leaders stuck in role confusion, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion. Neuroscience confirms what faith reveals: when you recalibrate identity, the nervous system learns that newness doesn't equal danger—it equals alignment. That's when expansion shifts from fear to fruit.Unlike surface-level productivity tactics or mindset hacks, ILR is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. Expansion isn't about proving your worth; it's about receiving the permission that was already yours—and realizing the cost of staying small is too high, not just for you but for those you're called to serve.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere have I been telling myself it's too late to grow?What if the opposite is true—that right now is exactly on time?As a leader, how might my willingness to expand unlock permission for those around me?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

What if blockchain technology could emancipate us rather than just enrich speculators? In this wide-ranging conversation with Victor Vernissage, researcher, economist, and founder of Humanode.io, we explore how emerging technologies might transform our economic systems if deployed with democratic values rather than purely capitalist structures."Crypto is mostly about speculation. It's the main use case right now," Victor explains, cutting through the hype to address fundamental issues with current blockchain implementations. He argues that most systems remain "purely plutocratic, oligarchic, capitalistic structures where the more money you have, the more power you have," despite revolutionary potential for something entirely different. The discussion challenges widespread economic illiteracy underlying many blockchain projects, with Victor boldly stating that "neoclassical economics is complete bullshit" that fails to model real-world complexity.We venture into fascinating territory when discussing how blockchain and AI technologies intersect. Victor outlines four major possibilities: decentralized AI computation keeping conversations private rather than corporate-controlled; autonomous AI agents that can trade independently; governance systems for artificial intelligence; and new economic structures for a world where AI displaces human workers. Humanode specifically focuses on creating "one human, one vote" governance systems using biometrics to verify unique identities without compromising privacy.Perhaps most revolutionary is the potential for wealth redistribution through technology. Victor describes how AI agents conducting transactions generate fees, which typically flow to wealthy validators. However, with systems like Humanode, these fees could instead be distributed equally among participants, creating "not money for nothing, but money for something" – a new economic model beyond traditional UBI concepts.The conversation ultimately reveals that our technological future isn't predetermined. While current implementations often reinforce existing power structures, these technologies could create more democratic, equitable systems if implemented differently. The question isn't whether technology will transform society, but whether we'll allow that transformation to serve humanity or exploit it.Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about economics and technology?

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 2nd Publish Date: October 2nd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 2nd and Happy birthday to Sting I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Piedmont Eastside hosting second annual Rock the Ribbon event Spooky Spirits 5K set for Oct. 18 in Suwanee Comedian Bert Kreischer coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cereals All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Piedmont Eastside hosting second annual Rock the Ribbon event For the second year, Piedmont Eastside Medical Center is inviting the community to “Rock the Ribbon,” a special event focused on breast cancer awareness. Set for Oct. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the event will take place in the Breast and Diagnostic Center lobby (Medical Plaza 1, 1700 Tree Lane, Suite 100, Snellville). It’s all part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The lineup includes breast cancer survivor and advocate Silvia Garcia as the keynote speaker, along with diagnostic radiologist Dr. M. Aho sharing insights on early detection. Snellville Mayor Barbara Bender will kick things off, and at 12:45, Garcia will lead a caregiver support workshop in Suite 230. STORY 2: Spooky Spirits 5K set for Oct. 18 in Suwanee Dust off your sneakers, grab your costume, and maybe—just maybe—prepare for a cocktail or two, because the Spooky Spirits 5K is haunting Suwanee’s Town Center Park on Oct. 18. This isn’t your average 5K. Think costumes, cocktails, and a whole lot of fun, brought to you by the folks behind the Beer Chaser 5K and sponsored by Southeast Cold. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just strolling with your cocktail-loving crew, this event’s got something for everyone. Here’s the twist: runners can choose to stop at five Spirit Stations along the scenic Suwanee Creek Greenway for 3-ounce cocktail samples—or power through nonstop. Either way, there’s a full cocktail waiting at the finish line (for the 21+ crowd, of course). Costumes? Absolutely. Prizes for Best Female, Male, and Group Costumes will keep the Halloween vibes alive. Plus, every runner gets a long-sleeve T-shirt, medal, and souvenir glass—because bragging rights are a must. Don’t miss out—secure your spot at SpookySpirits5K.com. STORY 3: Comedian Bert Kreischer coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Bert Kreischer’s bringing his wild, shirtless comedy to Gwinnett this January—because, of course, he is. The “Permission to Party” tour just added a stop at Gas South Arena on Jan. 31, 2026, and if you’ve ever seen Bert, you know it’s going to be equal parts chaos and hilarity. Tickets? They’re up for grabs starting Friday, Oct. 3, at 10 a.m. (set a reminder, seriously).

Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: GGC professor: Start your holiday budgeting now The holidays sneak up on you, don’t they? Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in wrapping paper and wondering how your credit card bill got so high. Americans, on average, drop $1,200 on holiday gifts each year, according to the National Retail Federation. But Georgia Gwinnett College business professor Dr. Cathy McCrary says a little planning now can save you a lot of stress—and money—later. Her advice? Start simple: Make a list of who you’re buying for. Jot down gift ideas and ballpark prices. Set a savings goal and stick to it. McCrary also suggests breaking your savings into manageable chunks—like setting aside a bit from each paycheck—and even opening a separate account to keep things organized. STORY 5: Tourism sets new record in Georgia Georgia was buzzing last year—tourists, business travelers, you name it. A record 174.2 million visitors poured into the state in 2024, spending a jaw-dropping $45.2 billion. That’s 4% more than the year before, according to Gov. Brian Kemp. Kemp, speaking at a tourism conference in Savannah, credited Georgia’s charm: its mountains, beaches, and everything in between. Business travel was booming too, with 17 million domestic visitors dropping $4.6 billion on conventions and meetings. Tourism, the state’s second-largest economic driver, even saved households $1,285 in taxes, thanks to $5.1 billion in government revenue. We’ll be right back.

Expectations can feel like bricks in a backpack — the ones you pile on yourself, the ones other people stack on you, and even the ones you quietly hand out to others. Eventually, it all gets heavy.In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, Matthew opens up about how volunteering at the annual Haunting of Falkland — and the fatigue that followed — forced him to take a hard look at the expectations he carries. He also reflects on how a friend out east, meaning to or not, added more weight to his shoulders, creating strain where there should've been ease.This is a conversation about burnout, relationships, and the invisible pressures that keep us running on empty. But it's also about permission. Permission to be kinder to yourself. Permission to set a boundary. Permission to rest.Matthew leaves listeners with just one expectation this week: carve out 10 minutes of your day for you — and only you. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop carrying what was never yours in the first place.Website: www.authormheneghan.com

"If you treat your body poorly outside of the bedroom, it's not like you pass through the doorway into your bedroom and all of a sudden you're super tuned into your body and confident."This week, we're diving into a topic that's often pushed into the shadows but deeply impacts our well-being: sex. I sat down with Vanessa Marin, a licensed sex therapist, to talk about how the cultural scripts we've grown up with shrink women, disconnect us from our bodies, and rob us of joy, in and out of the bedroom. Just like the food rules diet culture imposes, these messages around sex convince us we're the problem when things don't feel right, when in reality the system is broken, not us.If you've ever felt embarrassed, awkward, or ashamed talking about sex (or avoided the conversation entirely), you're not alone. Vanessa and I discuss how body image struggles show up in the bedroom, why pleasure is truly an act of rebellion, and simple, shame-free steps you can start taking to reconnect with your body and advocate for your own needs. Whether you're single or in a relationship, there are actionable takeaways to help you create a more enjoyable and empowered sex life.I know it can be hard to open up about these topics, but the more we have these conversations, the less alone we feel, and the more power we have to create real change. Just like becoming an intuitive eater or ditching diet culture, prioritizing your pleasure is about reclaiming your own narrative and choosing freedom. What You'll Learn: Why so many of us struggle to talk about sex, and why it's NOT your fault How cultural scripts teach women to shrink, disconnect from their bodies, and put others' needs first The surprising ways body image struggles show up in the bedroomHow tuning into pleasure in small, everyday ways can heal your relationship with your bodyFive conversations to have with your partner that will transform your love lifeWhy embracing pleasure is a true act of rebellion (and how collective sisterhood can make advocacy feel less overwhelming)I hope this conversation sparks a little rebellion in you, wherever you are on your journey. Remember: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, whether we're talking about food, your body, or your sex life. Permission granted to claim your pleasure, advocate for your needs, and break free from shame.

Madlik Podcast – Torah Thoughts on Judaism From a Post-Orthodox Jew
From Moses to Leonard Cohen: The unexpected dilemma at the heart of Jewish prayer Leonard Cohen called If It Be Your Will “a sort of a prayer.” In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz uncover just how deeply Jewish that prayer really is. Drawing on the words of Moses in Ha'azinu, the Psalms of David, the prayer of Hannah, and rabbinic debates in the Talmud and Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed, we explore how Cohen's haunting lyrics echo one of the most radical ideas in Jewish liturgy: that prayer itself requires God's permission. From whispered lips to audacious praise, from silence as the highest form of worship to the chutzpah of demanding forgiveness, this episode connects the High Holidays' most prayer-rich moments to Cohen's timeless song. Was Cohen consciously channeling biblical and rabbinic texts he knew from childhood? We think the evidence is striking. Join us as we show how If It Be Your Will isn't just a song—it's the continuation of a 3,000-year-old Jewish wrestling match with the meaning of prayer. Key Takeaways The Audacity of Prayer: We examine the chutzpah of addressing God and the need for "permission" to pray. Silent Revolution: Hannah's innovation of praying silently and its impact on Jewish prayer traditions. Words Matter: The power and peril of language in prayer, and why sometimes silence speaks loudest. Timestamps [00:00:00] Opening reflection on Yom Kippur and the nature of prayer.

[00:20:00] Concluding prayers about words and their power. [00:23:00] The audacity of praising God—permission to pray. [00:28:00] Leonard Cohen's “If It Be Your Will” as modern midrash.

What can honeybees teach us about leadership, focus, and living with intention? In this episode of The Legendary Leaders Podcast, host Cathleen O'Sullivan welcomes back Jones Loflin—speaker, coach, educator, and co-author of Focused as a Bee. Drawing from his beekeeping journey with his daughter Sydney, Jones reveals how small shifts in focus can create big changes in how we lead and live. Their book is both a practical guide and a heartfelt tribute to Sydney's late best friend Alicia, reminding us that life is too short to glorify busyness. Jones opens up about co-authoring with his daughter, navigating generational differences, and why giving ourselves “permission” may be the secret to better leadership. From consistency to the courage to be unavailable, this conversation offers golden insights—and plenty of laughs—to help you move from busy to truly focused. Episode Timeline: 00:00 Introduction and welcome back to Jones Loflin 01:11 From busyness to focus: why activity isn't enough 03:34 Beekeeping beginnings and inspiration for Focused as a Bee 05:32 Honoring Sydney's best friend Alicia through storytelling 08:11 Three core goals of the book: focus, friendship, and tribute 11:07 Co-authoring with Sydney: lessons from generational differences 18:13 What bees teach us about teamwork, service, and focus 23:39 Progress moments: first honey harvests and surviving winter 25:30 Striking out “busy” and choosing focus with intention 28:39 What a focused day feels like: peace, accomplishment, and energy 31:09 Young professionals, multitasking, and the search for meaning 35:32 Permission to recharge and why leaders need downtime 39:35 Permission to be unavailable: setting boundaries and managing distractions 48:06 Practical first steps to build focus and giving yourself permission 54:39 Why it's hard to prioritize ourselves—and how to reframe it 01:00:30 The power of consistency: small actions with lasting impact Key Takeaway: Focus Over Busyness: Jones explains why activity alone isn't enough, and how shifting from “busy” to “focused” leads to more meaningful progress. Permission to Lead Differently: From recharging to being unavailable, Jones shares how giving yourself permission creates space for better leadership and wellbeing. Consistency Counts: Drawing inspiration from honeybees, Jones shows how small, steady actions can build lasting results in work and life. Generational Lessons: Co-authoring with his daughter Sydney revealed the power of bridging perspectives—and how younger leaders approach focus, priorities, and purpose differently. Lessons from the Hive: Honeybees model clarity, teamwork, and service to the greater good—principles leaders can adopt in their own organizations. About Jones Laflin: Jones Loflin is a dynamic speaker, coach, and educator with over three decades of experience helping people cut through the chaos and focus on what truly matters. His career has spanned keynote stages, corporate training, and leadership coaching, where he equips individuals and organizations with practical tools to thrive. An accomplished author, Jones has written several books including Juggling Elephants, Always Growing, and most recently Focused as a Bee, co-authored with his daughter Sydney. Blending humor, storytelling, and insights, his work inspires leaders to move beyond busyness, embrace clarity, and create meaningful impact.

What happens when grief becomes inheritance? When poet Miller Oberman became a father himself, he suddenly understood something that had shaped his entire life: he had been parented by someone traumatized by the loss of a child. This revelation sparked an extraordinary poetic journey, driving him toward his father's unfinished memoir about the drowning death of his two-year-old son Joshua in 1972."Impossible Things," Oberman's second collection, emerges from this intersection of personal and inherited trauma. Through his meticulous craft, Oberman transforms fragments of his father's prose into erasure poems, creating a dialogue between father and son that transcends death. The collection explores how tragedy ripples through generations, manifesting in unexpected ways—like the single small shoe belonging to Joshua that his father kept among his own shoes, a haunting presence throughout Oberman's childhood.Formal constraints become crucial tools for approaching unbearable subjects. Oberman employs "the beautiful outlaw," a form that systematically omits letters, making it impossible to directly name what's being described. This technique brilliantly mirrors the experience of absence itself, forcing creative circumlocution that often leads to more profound expressions than straightforward language could achieve. As Oberman notes, "I go to therapy to write poems, not the other way around"—a reminder that while poetry may heal, its purpose extends beyond therapeutic release.Readers familiar with loss will find recognition in these pages, while those intimidated by poetry will discover accessible entry points through the collection's clear narrative framework. Oberman's mission echoes his father's original intention in writing his memoir: to tell others experiencing profound grief that they are not alone. Through exquisite craft and unflinching honesty, "Impossible Things" accomplishes something remarkable—it makes the unspeakable not only speakable but beautiful.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Episode 80 On November 18, 1947, a fire tore through Ballantynes department store in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 41 people and changing the nation forever. It remains New Zealand's deadliest fire disaster — and one that exposed shocking negligence. In this episode, we retrace the events leading up to the blaze, the chaos of the evacuation, and the devastating aftermath. We'll look at how overcrowding, building construction, and a lack of fire protection systems turned a busy shopping day into tragedy, and how the disaster forced long-overdue changes to fire safety and labor laws. Ballantynes wasn't just a tragedy — it was a turning point. But it also raises a haunting question: why do we keep having to relearn the same lessons, decades later? Listener discretion is advised.

So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…
Pastor John Davis brings us a message about trusting God's timing, even when it seems delayed. Just as Lazarus's resurrection proved that God's power isn't limited by human expectations or time, we're reminded that what feels dead may only be asleep, waiting for God's perfect moment to awaken it. When life seems out of sync with our desires, faith invites us to believe that resurrection power is for now. God is working all things together, even in overtime, for our good.

What if your emotions weren't problems to fix, but signals to guide you? Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, joins AJ and Johnny to break down why most of us were never taught real emotional regulation—and how to finally build it. Marc shares the RULER framework (Recognize, Understand, Label, Express, Regulate) and explains why emotional regulation is less about suppression and more about awareness, vocabulary, and strategy.
