This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:   The Preeminence of Christ Today we're in Colossians 1:13–20, one of the highest mountain peaks in all of Scripture. Paul takes us straight to the throne of the preeminent Christ—the One who rescued us from the dominion of darkness, the One by whom and for whom everything exists, the One in whom all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, the One who reconciled all things by the blood of His cross. Here's the big idea we'll keep coming back to: Jesus Christ is supreme over creation, supreme over the new creation, and therefore supreme over every square inch of our lives. The proposition is simple and life-changing: Because Christ is preeminent in everything, we must gladly give Him first place in everything. During the next minutes we'll look at three points in the text: He has delivered us and transferred us (vv. 13–14) He is the Creator and Sustainer who holds all things together (vv. 15–17) He is the Head of the church and the Reconciler of all things (vv. 18–20) Then we'll land on some very practical ways this supreme Christ changes how we wake up tomorrow morning, how we face cancer or any other trial, how we treat our spouse, how we spend our money, and how we speak about Jesus to our neighbors. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

Send us a textThis week, we're pausing around a theme many of us need right now: loving beyond lovable.Jesus said in Matthew 5: “Love your enemies… pray for those who persecute you.” Not exactly the warm holiday verse we were hoping for, right?But maybe… maybe He knew that family gatherings, unresolved tension, old wounds, and differing beliefs would make this command painfully practical.This week I've been praying about a few people I'll see whose presence feels… tender. Not unsafe. Just complicated.Maybe you know that feeling too.As I prayed, the Lord reminded me: “Pat, you don't need to fix them. Just love them the way I love you.”Loving beyond lovable isn't about denying truth or ignoring boundaries— it's about choosing peace over proving… grace over grumbling… compassion over being right.

What happens when a Protestant Christian delves into the philosophy of Russia's most controversial thinker? Jay Rogers, a heart transplant survivor and longtime student of Russian culture, takes us on a fascinating journey through his engagement with Alexander Dugan's Fourth Political Theory.Having traveled extensively throughout Russia and Ukraine during the pivotal post-Soviet years, Rogers brings unique firsthand experience to this conversation. He explains how his observations of Christianity's revival among the Russian intelligentsia and his disillusionment with mainstream Western media narratives led him to explore alternative political perspectives.Rogers artfully unpacks the connections between Dugan, Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations," and Alexander Solzhenitsyn's prophetic warnings about Western liberalism. He argues that these thinkers anticipated our current global shift from nation-states to civilization-states—a transformation reshaping international relations before our eyes.At the heart of this discussion lies a profound critique of liberalism's impact on Christianity. Rogers suggests that the liberal emphasis on individual autonomy fundamentally contradicts the community-centered teachings of scripture. This realization helped him understand why traditional values are making a comeback across political lines, creating unexpected alliances between previously opposed groups.Perhaps most compelling is Rogers' nuanced view of cultural diversity. Drawing from his experiences as a teacher in Florida, he rejects both xenophobia and liberal multiculturalism, instead advocating for a world where distinct civilizations can coexist and learn from each other while maintaining their unique identities.Whether you're politically conservative, progressive, or somewhere in between, this conversation challenges conventional categories and offers fresh perspectives on our rapidly changing world. Discover why engaging with challenging thinkers like Dugan might be essential for anyone seeking to understand—and shape—our collective future.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

SEASON 2: Ep1 - Permission To Take Centre-Stage: Leverage a Personal Brand To Build Your Business in The Age of AI This podcast was formally called 'The Course Creators Podcast', now rebranded as 'THE SARAH CORDINER SHOW'... and this is the FIRST episode of this new season... Just as I have obnoxiously named a whole podcast after myself following building a successful personal brand that I leveraged to create a business valued at over $15 million - you can too. In this episode, I'm going to share tips with you (and permission), to take centre stage as the brand and the human behind your busines, as it is amplified by the incoming wave of AI amplification. Episode 1: Your Business Will Only Grow To The Level You Are Willing To Be Seen In this first episode of The Sarah Cordiner Show, I am ripping the bandaid off something most business owners secretly struggle with but rarely talk about out loud. Visibility. Not the cute “post twice a week on socials” kind of visibility. The kind where you put your actual face, name, story, opinions and personality out front and centre and say: “This is my show. This is my work. This is who I am.” I share why I made the shift from The Course Creators Podcast to The Sarah Cordiner Show, why it took me nearly seven years to give myself permission to do it, and why your business will only grow to the level at which you are willing to be seen. The real difference now is not the tool you use, but the way you make people feel. Your energy, your stories, your quirks, your full unapologetic you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your business will only grow to the level you are willing to be seen, and why hiding is now a direct income limiter.Why a strong personal brand is more critical than ever in the age of AI generated content.The difference between smart evolution and chaotic pivoting, and how to know when it is time to iterate, refine or rebrand.How to start with a clear, tight niche at the beginning of your business, then add “rings on the spider web” as your audience and authority grow.How my journey from corporate educator to course creator to tech founder can mirror your own staged evolution.Why your appearance, age or “hotness” have nothing to do with credibility or authority, and what actually builds a powerful reputation instead.How trolls, critics and “Janet next door” often reflect their own discomfort, and why your focus must stay on the people you are here to help.Why AI is rapidly becoming the traffic router, but humans are still making the buying decisions, and how your personality becomes the converter.How to think about your 5 to 10 year vision, legacy and impact so that it overrides the fear of judgement today. Inside the episode, I guide you through: A simple reflection on your big 5 year goal and why it actually matters to you beyond money.Questions to clarify the impact you want to have and what you want people to say about you when you are not in the room.A reframe of visibility as a job description and responsibility, not an optional extra.How to start stepping into the identity of the future version of you, now, in the way you talk, write, show up and create.Why getting clear on your brand archetype and natural style can give you permission to “turn up the volume” on who you really are. By the end of this episode, you will feel called out, called forward and hopefully called home to yourself. You will know exactly why your personal brand is not self indulgent, but essential. And you will have a clearer sense of how to evolve without losing yourself or your audience.

Long-term relationships aren't meant to choose between passion and partnership. They're meant to hold both. In this episode of Reignite Love, Sex, and Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples), we explore how stability and spark work together to create a relationship that feels safe, alive, playful, and deeply connected.They share personal stories and practical wisdom from their own journey and the couples they support inside Phoenix Rising Retreats. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why long-term love often drifts into “roommate mode”How stability without passion quietly erodes intimacyHow erotic polarity reignites desire  Why passion fades (it's not age or compatibility) and how to rebuild it through play, presence, and nervous-system safetyFor women: How pleasure, radiance, and aliveness return when you stop over-functioning and start feeling againFor men: Why presence and not performance is the most powerful sexual energy you can bring to your relationship.What are the simple, daily practices to restore both passion and partnership even in the busiest seasons of life Passion doesn't die with time... it dies when we stop feeding the fire.Partnership doesn't have to feel boring...it becomes magnetic when both partners choose to stay awake in love. Our Group Retreats at Phoenix Rising are now open for registration.Here's what you can expect at our retreats:A safe, intimate container where every couple chooses growthPractices that help you witness and be witnessed without judgmentOpportunities to see yourself through the lens of others' experiencesTime to integrate and connect privately with your partner This kind of reflection is priceless.It's not about being like anyone else… It's about finally seeing yourself clearly and choosing the way forward with your partner. How many times have you pulled away instead of leaning in? How long do you want that pattern to run your relationship? We're keeping this retreat small - just 5 couples - so you get the intimacy and support you deserve. Rooms (GeoDomes or cottages) are chosen first-come, first-served. 

Send us a textIn a world that moves at lightning speed, it's easy to forget we're allowed to slow down. Today's episode gently explores the art of curiosity,  a simple, spacious practice that helps you step out of pressure, perfectionism, and the nervous-system spike of always needing to “know” or decide right away.Christina discusses how "curiosity" was one of her words of 2025, and how it changed everything. Instead of forcing decisions, rushing to have an opinion, or tightening around old habits, curiosity softened life, giving space to feel safe in the pause.Inside this episode, we explore:• Why fast-paced living restricts your ability to think clearly, feel centered, and hear your inner guidance • How curiosity opens the heart, expands possibility, and settles the nervous system • What “data gathering” actually means as a spiritual practice • How to observe yourself without judgment,  especially during stressful seasons • Why we stay addicted to drama and overwhelm (and how to gently step out of it) • Simple questions to shift into curiosity anytime you feel rushed, pressured, or out of alignmentAs we head into the holidays, a season full of expectations, traditions, and emotional noise, curiosity becomes one of the most grounding spiritual tools you can lean on. Just one pause, one hand to your heart, one honest check-in is enough to bring you back to your center.  Grab your free guide: Three Practices for a Calm Holiday Season, plus a soothing seven-minute meditation to help you keep energetically centred this month. To learn more about Christina's January workshop CREATING AN INTENTIONAL NEW YEAR, check out her website!Christina Fletcher is a Spiritual Alignment coach, energy worker, author, speaker and host of the podcast Showing Up Whole.She specialises in practical spirituality and integrating inner work with outer living, so you can get self development off of the hobby shelf and integrated as a powerful fuel to your life.

Catriona Boffard is a clinical sexologist, psychotherapist, and sexuality researcher who hosts the podcast Asking for a Friend. She's completing her doctorate in psychotherapy and works with people facing challenges in their sexual experiences, particularly women dealing with sexual pain. I reached out to her because sexuality is such an important part of being alive, and as a therapist, I see it as a significant aspect of someone's life force. It tells us so much about who we are and what we desire. Catriona explains that sexual health is just another pillar of our wellbeing, yet it's often excluded from healthcare conversations. Clinicians don't feel comfortable talking about sex because of their own shame, so clients don't think they can bring it up. She works with people experiencing difficulties like vaginismus and anorgasmia, and the number one intervention is giving people permission. Permission to not want something, permission to want something, permission to realize there's nothing wrong with them. The factors contributing to sexual difficulties are multifactorial: strict religious or cultural messages, trauma, negative sexual experiences, relationship dynamics, parenting stress, medications, neurodiversity, and education. South Africa has a risk and safety-focused sex education curriculum rather than pleasure and consent-focused, which leaves huge gaps. We talk about how sex is the most vulnerable space we can step into with another person. Good sex isn't about how many orgasms you have or how often you do it. Research on magnificent sex shows people talk about being present, transcendence, and expert communication. Catriona introduces the four C's of sex: connection, creativity, curiosity, and compassion. We discuss how porn is acting, how Gen Z has more terms and fluidity but still struggles with shame, and how heterosexual women find sex far more satisfying in midlife when they stop caring what their bodies look like. The cultural and social scripts we inherit get in the way of our bodies' natural wisdom about pleasure and connection.

If you've ever thought "scaling means selling out" or "growing a team means burning out," Dr. Catherine Hart is about to prove you wrong. She's built a 35-person psychology practice across five sites with a salaried employment model that actually retains clinicians—and she did it by breaking every rule.In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Catherine Hart, clinical psychologist, director of Succoris Psychology Group, and 2024 APS Supervisor of the Year. Catherine didn't set out to become an innovator—she started as a psychologist who felt like an outsider, too questioning, too bold. When she experienced how exploitative the contractor model can be, she made a decision: I'm building something different.You'll hear Catherine's journey from one consulting room in 2019 to building an entire ecosystem—five sites, a training academy, business partnerships, and online courses. We dive into the salaried employment model revolutionizing retention, how to scale without losing your values, building systems that support humans, and what real leadership requires when you stop playing small.HERE ARE THE KEY INSIGHTS:1️⃣ The Salaried Model Revolution – Catherine breaks down exactly what her salaried employment model looks like and why it changes everything for clinician wellbeing and retention. You'll hear the real numbers, the pushback she faced, and the ripple effect on practice culture.2️⃣ Scaling With Integrity – The real story of going from one room to five sites—the failures, pivots, and moments where she almost lost her way. How she uses innovation (AI note-taking, structured systems) to support clinicians, and her philosophy on scaling with purpose versus scaling because you can.3️⃣ Permission to Want More – Catherine talks about being the kid who always asked "why," feeling like an outsider, and giving herself permission to want more than one-to-one work. She's now building clinical care, training academy, business partnerships, and courses—stepping into leadership and building legacy work.4️⃣ The Business Education Therapists Never Got – Catherine is transparent about investing in herself, seeking business education (including The Incubator), and surrounding herself with community. Grad school taught clinical skills—not how to build sustainable, ethical businesses.YOU'LL ALSO HEAR:Her catalyst: exploitative contractor models in AustraliaBuilding team systems: onboarding, supervision, psychological safetyThe Succoris Academy and Clinical Psych Registrar pathway (launching Jan 2026)Business partnerships helping therapists build, grow, or exit ethicallyLaunching DBT Launchpad and online course creationThe Dolly Parton philosophy: business as a vessel for social impactHonest talk about leadership struggles and advice to her 2019 selfRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Catherine Hart:Succoris Psychology: https://succoris.com.au/Instagram: @succoris_psychologyDBT Launchpad: https://succoris-psychology-site-ecc8.thinkific.com/courses/DBT-LaunchpadTherapists Rising:The Incubator: therapistsrising.com/incubatorThe Collective Waitlist: therapistsrising.com/collectiveInstagram: @dr.hayleykellySUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:If this episode showed you what's possible when you give yourself permission to build differently—or inspired you to rethink what scaling could look like in your practice—please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this bold and deeply honest episode of The Thought SNOB Podcast, Paula Swope — Author, Speaker, and Chopra-Certified Life Coach — invites listeners to explore the radical freedom that comes from permitting themselves to feel what they truly feel. Through humor, candor, and neuroscience, Paula explains how suppressed emotions keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode and how symbolic expression can help complete the body's stress cycle and restore balance. Drawing on research from Nature Neuroscience (McEwen, 2019), Paula walks listeners through a three-step process for emotional release and integration — writing down suppressed impulses, exploring why certain feelings are “off-limits,” and learning to reclaim power through mindful acknowledgment rather than repression. This isn't about acting out; it's about owning truth. With her signature blend of science and soul, Paula reminds listeners that healing begins where honesty lives — and that authentic self-permission is the doorway to emotional regulation, manifestation, and peace.

Don't WAIT For Permission To START On this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive into the journeys of real listeners who transformed their lives, leaving jobs they didn't love to create lives on their own terms. They share the messy, raw, and inspiring steps they took, the obstacles they faced, and the surprising breakthroughs that made it all possible. From reclaiming tiny pockets of time, to giving themselves permission to start even when they felt unready, to surrounding themselves with people who lifted them up, these stories prove that the biggest blocks in life aren't always about money—they're about mindset, environment, and taking that first messy step. If these stories resonate with you, share them with your friends and on social media with #JoinUpDots #LifeOnYourTerms #MakeTheLeap. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

In this episode, I'm getting real about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a CEO, especially as we close out Q4. Between the external chaos, the end-of-year pressure, and the constant push to perform, it's easy to lose trust in the one thing that built your business in the first place: your own wisdom. I'll share why so many high-achieving women find themselves second-guessing their decisions and outsourcing their confidence to "experts," accountants, and Facebook groups — and how to break that cycle for good. We'll talk about what it really means to lead through uncertainty, how to separate your worth from your numbers, and why true leadership is built not in the planning, but in the pivots. If you've been feeling the weight of decision fatigue or questioning your next move, this episode will remind you that you already have everything you need to lead with clarity, conviction, and courage. Plus, I'll walk you through a free resource I created, The Ultimate Practice Growth Audit, to help you pinpoint the real bottlenecks in your business and step into 2026 with confidence and direction. Stop waiting for permission to lead, goddess. You already have it.

What defines Iranian identity, both within Iran and across its global diaspora? In this thought-provoking conversation with historian Keanu Heydari, we peel back layers of complexity surrounding one of the world's most politically fragmented diasporic communities.Heydari, a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan specializing in Iranian student activism in post-war France, offers a refreshingly nuanced perspective that avoids both regime apologetics and demonization. The Iranian diaspora, he explains, represents a fascinating anomaly – unlike other immigrant communities that typically organize around cultural markers, Iranians abroad primarily define themselves through political discourse coalitions. From hardline supporters of the Islamic Republic to advocates of monarchy restoration, these political positions often prevent meaningful dialogue between community members.We trace the historical trajectory of modern Iran through pivotal moments like the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup against Mohammad Mossadegh and the 1979 Islamic Revolution, exploring how these events triggered waves of migration and shaped distinct political consciousnesses. Particularly fascinating is Heydari's analysis of how Iranian nationalism occupies a liminal space between European nationalism and anti-colonial struggles, making it simultaneously attractive and repellent to Western leftists.The conversation ventures into provocative territory when discussing Michel Foucault's misunderstood writings on the Iranian Revolution. Rather than dismissing Foucault as naively romanticizing a repressive regime, Heydari connects Foucault's interest in "Islamic political spirituality" to his broader intellectual project concerning self-transformation and political practice.Whether you're interested in diaspora politics, Middle Eastern history, or the complex interplay between religion and leftist thought, this conversation challenges simplistic narratives and offers fresh perspectives on Iran's place in global politics. Share your thoughts about this episode and let us know which aspects of Iranian diaspora identity you'd like us to explore further.Here are the two articles discussed: Threads of Belonging, Echoes of ExileIran, Israel, & the Logic of EscalationSend us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Grieving is so not easy. We want to avoid it. Set it aside. But grief will not be ignored forever. As I'm grieving today, I thought we could talk a little more about it.

This week we're diving into the uncomfortable truth that not everyone is going to like you — and why that's actually okay. We talk through our own experiences with rejection, wanting to be misunderstood, and the pressure to manage how people see you. It's an honest, unstructured conversation about what it looks like to release that weight and stay grounded in who you are. If you've ever felt the urge to shrink, shape-shift, or people-please your way into being liked, this one's for you.   Ready to do the work and go deeper in your own healing?

Send us a textWhen Elijah fled to the wilderness, worn out and afraid, God didn't meet him in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. Those powerful displays came and went, but the Lord's presence wasn't in them. Instead, Elijah heard Him in a gentle whisper—a sound so soft that he had to lean in close to recognize it. (1 Kings 19:11–12) In that quiet moment, God reminded Elijah—and us—that His voice doesn't compete with the noise of the world. It comes in the stillness, when our hearts are quiet enough to listen. The whisper of God is intimate, personal, and full of peace. It's not the shout of condemnation, but the tender voice that restores our strength and calls us forward again.PAUSE and HEAR HIS VOICE Thank you for joining me on today's Permission to Pause.

A shock win feels like a movement—until the math starts. We dig into Zoran Mamdani's ascent with a clear-eyed look at why voters broke for him, what “anti-politics” actually signals, and how a mayor's bold promises get squeezed by bonds, taxes, and thin state capacity. The story here isn't a fairy tale of revival; it's a patient autopsy of party cartels in decline, activist narratives colliding with ordinary voter motives, and a political entrepreneur who read the room better than the machine.We unpack the split between the activist layer and the broader electorate: one sees a springboard for a project; the other wants rent relief and competent delivery. That tension meets hard constraints. Cities don't print money. They borrow or tax, and capital reacts. We trace why progressive mayors post-1950s hit the same wall, why LaGuardia needed Roosevelt's federal cash, and why Dinkins and de Blasio serve as useful mirrors for what comes next. If national headwinds return—especially a Trump-era reset—does combat raise Mamdani's profile while shrinking his room to maneuver, or does conciliation cost him the left while buying breathing room?We also zoom out: unions that poll well but feel managerial on the ground, populism as a political strategy rather than a mass social force, and the broader void where anti-politics thrives. Mamdani's early refusal to dignify culture-war bait showed how composure builds legitimacy in an era of institutional mistrust; later moralism was safer but weaker. The stakes now are concrete: visible affordability wins without tripping fiscal tripwires. If he threads that needle, he sets a new urban playbook. If not, the void stays open for the next savvy reader of the moment.If this lens helps you see past the noise, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the one question you want answered next.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Send us a textWhat does trust look like when the answer you begged for doesn't come? We sit with Linda Blechinger as she walks us through the radiant, brief life of her son DJ, born with multiple heart defects, and the unflinching choices that shaped their family's faith. From a quiet hospital room and a first reading of Psalm 91 to a living room filled with a holy hush, Linda shows how God's presence can steady hands and soften fear, even when the path winds through surgery suites and sleepless nights.We trace the story from early motherhood in a new town to a diagnosis that changed everything. Linda shares how she learned to pray without demanding a specific outcome, how Scripture became a lifeline, and why “Do you trust Me?” turned into a daily practice rather than a single moment. There's a tender fight to bring DJ home, a forbidden sip of Sprite that becomes a picture of living water, and a startling roar that reframes the battle between a prowling imitator and the Lion of Judah. Along the way we challenge bad theology—blame, shame, and the idea that God authors tragedy—and point to a better story rooted in Genesis, the reality of a broken world, and the victory of Christ.What follows is a map for real people in real pain: permission to grieve loudly, wisdom to study the Word for yourself, and courage to name God as good when life feels anything but. You'll hear about funeral salvations, journaled prayers that came back as anchors, and the choice to see redemption where bitterness could have taken root. If you or someone you love is walking through loss, disappointment, or long uncertainty, this conversation offers language, comfort, and hope that holds.If this moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the story that became the turning point in my own Warrior Goddess SAGA — the night I realized I wasn't okay, and the year that followed as I found my way back to myself.It wasn't a dramatic fall, but a quiet unraveling.The kind of loneliness that seeps into your bones.The moment when pretending to be strong becomes too heavy to carry.This episode is about the reawakening that comes after the breaking — learning to ask for help, letting yourself be seen, and rediscovering love, connection, and self-worth when you've lost them all.Because healing doesn't start with perfection…It starts with permission.Permission to feel, to soften, to begin again.If you've been holding everything together on the outside while quietly falling apart inside — this one's for you.This is your reawakening.It's time to rise, Warrior Goddess…Because Goddess Got Goals.✨ Links mentioned in this episode:Take the Warrior Goddess Archetype QuizBe sure to connect with Lisa Barwise and Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training on social media: Instagram @lisa_barwise @wgkettlebelltraining Facebook www.facebook.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltrainingYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/warriorgoddesskettlebelltraining What you can do to help the Podcast?

Hey friend! Today we're talking about growing our relationship with our Creator, AND why the phrase "quiet time" makes me cringe and how I learned to connect with God in ways that actually work for who HE made ME to be. If you've ever felt like you're not doing devotions "right" or that your relationship with God doesn't look like everyone else's, this episode is for YOU.  It's time to let go of the shoulds and discover what actually feeds your soul. What You'll Learn: ✨ Why traditional "quiet time" doesn't work for everyone (and that's okay!)

In this heartfelt episode, Dale reflects on the ten-year anniversary of his own divorce — a milestone that brings both pain and perspective. He opens up about the deep valleys of heartbreak and how giving ourselves permission to hurt is the first step toward genuine healing. Dale reminds us that Jesus never avoided pain; He entered into it with us. Through that truth, Dale offers encouragement for finding peace and forgiveness in God, along with practical insights for walking through your own season of suffering. Whether you’re in the middle of your pain or beginning to see light on the other side, this episode will remind you that healing is not just possible — it’s promised. Bible Verse Inspiration: Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Resources: www.MensDivorceRecovery.org 

What would your life look like if you fully accepted you — flaws, fears, and all? In this deeply inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Kanika Bell, a licensed psychologist, professor, and co-founder of ATL Psychotherapy and Consulting Services, to explore the transformative power of self-acceptance and how it shapes every part of our emotional, mental, and even professional lives. With her signature warmth and wisdom, Dr. Bell shares how embracing who you truly are can help you break free from unhealthy cycles, escape emotional ruts, and find genuine peace and purpose. She reminds us that self-acceptance isn't about perfection — it's about permission. Permission to grow. To heal. To finally feel enough. Drawing from her extensive background in cognitive behavioral therapy, insight-oriented therapy, and years of teaching forensic psychology, cross-cultural psychology, and psychological testing at Clark Atlanta University, Dr. Bell brings a refreshing perspective on how we can all learn to take control of our stories and reclaim our inner strength. Whether you're on a journey of healing, growth, or simply seeking clarity about who you are, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and empowered to accept yourself, completely and unapologetically. ✨ Tune in to discover: Why self-acceptance is the foundation for true change How to recognize and release patterns that keep you stuck What it means to live emotionally healthy and free The first step to creating lasting transformation in your life This is more than an interview — it's a moment of reflection, renewal, and real connection. Don't miss it.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What happens when your talent starts steering your life before you're old enough to drive it? We sit down with actor and singer Nick Barasch to trace the tender, sometimes turbulent path from child performer to self-possessed adult artist—and the surprising practices that made space for joy along the way.Nick opens up about the thrill and pressure of growing up on stage, the moment he chose agency over autopilot, and how therapy reframed his relationship with perfectionism and approval. We dig into Thema Bryant's Homecoming, the art of telling yourself the truth, and why meditation and simple rituals help him return to his body when the industry's noise gets loud. He shares the difference between structure imposed by schedules and structure you design for yourself—projects, community, and habits that won't vanish between gigs.You'll also hear the unexpected magic of TV life in Vancouver, how variety refreshed his craft after eight-show weeks, and the friends who helped him loosen the screws on self-critique. We explore fear, inner critics, and the practical work of giving those voices a new job. Nick's core values come through clearly: integrity, kindness, justice, and curiosity. He talks candidly about solitude versus isolation, building a life that's bigger than work, and a future that might include Santa Fe, more service, and a steady practice of gratitude.If you've ever chased perfection, felt pulled by others' expectations, or wondered how to build a rhythm you can keep when the curtain falls, this conversation is your permission slip. Press play, then tell us what ritual brings you back to yourself.

Here's a wild idea: What if the thing holding you back isn't your bank account, your age, or your circumstances—it's just the story you've been telling yourself? Joe Saul-Sehy and OG sit down with Colin O'Brady, four-time world record holder and endurance athlete who's done things most people would call impossible: solo trek across Antarctica, row across the Drake Passage, and yes, take a 12-hour walk that changed his entire perspective on what humans are capable of. Colin's not just here to tell adventure stories (though those are incredible). He's here to talk about the mental game—the part where you convince yourself to take the first step even when the finish line seems impossibly far away. Sound familiar? Whether you're staring down a cross-country expedition or trying to figure out if you'll have enough saved for retirement, the challenge is the same: push past the voice that says "I can't" and prove to yourself that you can. Then Joe and OG bring it back to the basement with a listener question about Roth vs. Traditional 401(k) contributions—because financial endurance is just as important as physical stamina. They break down how to think long-term about taxes, flexibility, and building a retirement plan that actually fits your life. Plus: Neighbor Doug delivers trivia that proves even world record holders have to earn their laughs in the basement. What You'll Walk Away With: • What Colin O'Brady's 12-Hour Walk reveals about breaking through your mental limits (and how it applies to money decisions too) • The mindset shift that separates people who attempt big goals from people who actually achieve them • Smart strategies for balancing Roth and Traditional 401(k) contributions based on your timeline and tax situation • Why flexibility matters as much as discipline—whether you're planning an expedition or planning retirement • Permission to set goals that scare you a little (because that's usually where the good stuff happens) This Episode Is For You If: • You've been telling yourself you "can't" do something but wonder if that's actually true • You want inspiration that comes with actual tactics (not just motivational fluff) • You're trying to figure out the Roth vs. Traditional 401(k) question and want a clear answer • You believe your best life is out there, but you're not sure how to build toward it • You need a reminder that big transformations start with small, intentional steps FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/conquer-your-mount-everest-greatest-hits-week-1759 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!
