Send us a Positive Review!In this episode Valerie is guest on the Parrish the Thought podcast where Brian Parrish interviews Val on the resistance she experienced from local priesthood leaders as a mental health worker tending to the complex issues of faith crisis in an institution that has yet to understand either the faith journey itself or widespread mental/relational/spiritual health issues that come from pathologizing the faith journey. As we all know—fear of church leaders did not deter Val & Nathan and their love of YOU [their listeners!] is only stronger these many months following their crucible experience.  Moral of the story? Integrity breeds empowerment. Listen in and feel empowered to own your own soul too!00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:25 Valerie's Background and Podcast Journey01:49 Starting the Private Practice03:57 Intersection of Faith and Mental Health05:12 Challenges and Growth in the Church07:06 Launching the Podcast09:58 Therapeutic Insights and Faith Dynamics21:41 Confronting Church Leadership33:22 Complexities of Faith and Leadership39:31 The Challenge of Updating Church Doctrine42:25 Personal Journey and Podcast Impact46:29 Facing Church Leadership57:19 Decision to Withdraw Membership01:05:17 Reflections on Church and Personal Integrity01:16:25 Final Thoughts and Contact InformationSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Donate: ⁠Venmo or Patreon⁠ Visit our Website

What if everything you've heard about the “end times” is based on a misunderstanding—and the prophecies of Jesus, Paul, and John were actually fulfilled long ago? In this thought-provoking episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders challenges popular beliefs about Revelation, the rapture, and the end of the world, offering a fresh perspective rooted in history and scripture. If you've ever wrestled with fear or confusion about the Bible's most controversial prophecies, tune in to discover how letting go of doom-and-gloom interpretations can open the door to living confidently in the Kingdom—right now."We are here expanding and building the kingdom of God, not waiting for an escape." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Discover a Bold New Perspective: The episode challenges the traditional view of end times and offers a thought-provoking historical context that might radically shift how you read Revelation and New Testament prophecy.Find Freedom from Fear: If you've ever felt anxiety or confusion about the future, you'll learn how reframing "end times" prophecies can replace dread with confidence and purpose for living in the kingdom now.Uncover Hidden Layers in Scripture: Tim explores how understanding the first-century audience and their context can unlock fresh meaning in the Bible—potentially changing the way you see your own faith journey.Key Lessons:The “End Times” Already Happened - Tim challenges the common belief that the end times prophecies in the New Testament refer to our future. Instead, he presents compelling evidence that these prophecies referred to events that occurred within a generation of Jesus' life, specifically culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70.Fear-Based End Times Teachings Are Misguided - A lot of spiritual panic and fear in modern Christianity is rooted in sensationalized teachings and media around rapture and apocalypse. Tim argues that much of this stems from a misunderstanding of scripture and a misapplication of historical context.Understanding Audience and Context Matters - The messages found in the New Testament were directed to audiences living at that time. Misreading those messages as if they were written directly for us today distorts the original meaning and intent, leading to confusion about the Bible's message.We Now Live in God's Kingdom - According to Tim, the destruction of the temple marked the end of the Old Covenant and the full arrival of the New Covenant. Christians are called to operate as citizens in God's kingdom now, focusing on restoration, presence, and partnership with Christ rather than survival or escapism.The Bible's Message Is Hope, Not Doom - The narrative of scripture is ultimately about God's fulfillment, restoration, and the invitation to live abundantly in His kingdom. Rather than fearing a coming apocalypse, believers are encouraged to focus on expanding the kingdom and abiding in Christ here and now.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the End Times01:04 Controversial Conversations in Christianity03:07 Debunking Modern Misconceptions06:53 Historical Context of Biblical Prophecies09:54 Revelation: Past Fulfillment and Future Hope20:41 Living in the Kingdom of God Today28:55 Personal Journey and Future Projects33:01 Conclusion: Embracing the KingdomResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:

I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...What happens when a high-level coach, orthopedic expert, and new mom decides she's done shrinking? Physically, emotionally, and professionally?In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Daffney Allwein, founder of Lift Pro Wellness, who has spent over two decades helping elite professionals reclaim their health, energy, and boundaries. We go deep into the hidden costs of burnout, the healing power of “moving therapy,” and why your energy is the most valuable currency you have.Daffney shares her journey from an industry that demanded smallness to building a mission-driven practice that empowers women to take up space,  unapologetically. We talk about:The subtle ways high achievers shrink without realizing itHow to spot the earliest signs of burnout before it takes you outWhy movement and conversation together can unlock profound healingThe truth about boundaries, energy leaks, and letting go of obligatory relationshipsHer hard-earned wisdom on motherhood, IVF, and life alignmentThis isn't just a wellness conversation, it's a call to every woman who's been told to be “less” to claim more space, more voice, and more vitality.

Fear can be a powerful motivator for change. In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on my greatest medical fear—Alzheimer's disease—and why it haunts me both professionally and personally. Having watched both my grandmothers lose themselves to dementia, including one who mistook me for her long-deceased husband when I was just a child, these experiences left emotional scars that continue to shape my approach to brain health.As a physician who diagnosed seven patients with dementia this year alone, I've witnessed the devastating progression that robs people of their memories, independence, and ultimately, their sense of self. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is seven to ten years—many spent in confusion and decline. But amid this sobering reality, emerging science offers genuine hope. The evidence shows that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed through lifestyle interventions.I break down the three most powerful evidence-based strategies for protecting your cognitive function. The MIND diet, which emphasizes berries, leafy greens, whole grains, and plant proteins while limiting animal products and processed foods, can reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 53%. Physical activity protects memory centers in the brain, with just 30 minutes of daily movement associated with increased brain volume in critical memory regions. And quality sleep activates your brain's crucial cleaning system that removes the toxic proteins linked directly to Alzheimer's development. Together with stress management, social connection, and avoiding harmful substances, these approaches create a comprehensive brain protection strategy that improves your life today while safeguarding your cognitive future.Ready to take control of your brain health?

Let's go deeper—into the body, into the Earth, and into the parts of ourselves we've been conditioned to ignore. In this episode of Operation Be, I sit down with the powerful and wildly grounded Jessi Marino, embodiment teacher, ritualist, vocalist, and founder of Wild Essence—a mystery school devoted to sacred living and embodied magick. With nearly two decades of experience guiding people into deeper relationships with their body and the unseen, Jessi brings a rich perspective on what it truly means to come home to yourself. We dive into embodiment—not just as a concept, but as a way of being. We talk about how ancestral trauma can live in the body, how rituals and seasonal rhythms can anchor us in healing, and how the shift from constantly doing to simply being is where real transformation begins. Jessi shares stories from her own path, along with practical tools for grounding, presence, and honoring your emotions—especially in a world that constantly tries to pull you away from yourself. This conversation is deep, raw, and reverent…a beautiful reminder that your body is not the problem—it's the portal. ✨Tune in now. Let's remember who we are, together. ✨ 00:33 Meet Jessi: A Life-Changing Coach 01:28 Jessi's Approach to Embodiment and Somatics 02:36 Jamie's Personal Journey with Jessi 06:49 Understanding Somatics and Body Awareness 14:47 The Science and Philosophy of Emotional Memory 23:50 The Concept of Titration in Healing 30:43 The Impact of Modern Life on Our Bodies 31:31 The Evolutionary Lag: Technology vs. Biology 32:30 The Power of Community and Connection 37:15 Personal Anecdotes: Stress and Your Reactions 40:16 Operation Do to Operation Be 43:31 The Importance of Presence and Self-Trust 48:44 Daily Habits for Staying Present 54:04 The Science of Sound and Vibration 58:06 Conclusion and Ways to Connect   Connect with Jessi: Email - jessi@wildessence.org https://www.instagram.com/jessimagick/ https://www.instagram.com/wildessencemagick/ https://www.instagram.com/eternalrootsvillage/ www.wildessence.org         Please like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode and tag us with @jamie.thurber on Instagram or Jamie Thurber on Facebook. #OperationBe   Want to connect with me on social media? www.instagram.com/jamie.thurber www.facebook.com/jamiethurber.biz www.jamiethurber.com  https://www.youtube.com/@JamieThurber   If you're interested in getting the exclusive content I put out on the newsletter, sign up here: https://jamiethurber.com/newsletter   Join my community and let's take this conversation even deeper!

Have you experienced trauma, but find it difficult to move forward or feel like you lack the information or support you need? Christie spoke with expert Keisha Wright about the complexities of trauma, its impact on mental health, and the journey towards healing. She sheds light on the difference between coping and true healing, and how important awareness and community support are in the recovery process. Keisha shares her personal journey and the practices she uses in her clinics to help individuals unpack their pain and learn to heal effectively. We hope this conversation provides you with the support and encouragement to move forward and know that God is working in your life despite the challenges you've faced and may be facing.  Keisha Wright is the founder and Executive Director of the Emotional Recovery Clinic (ERC) in Orlando, Florida. Her personal struggles inspired her to open the ERC, fulfilling a promise to God to dedicate her life to teaching others how to heal from trauma, toxic mindsets, and unhealthy relational patterns. Over the past 14 years, she has helped more than 1,000 individuals recover from deep, emotional pain using compassionate, practical, and innovative strategies. Specializing in trauma recovery, affective awareness, and marriage regeneration, she offers client-centered coaching tailored to each individual's unique needs. In addition to leading ERC clinics, Keisha is a sought-after life coach and speaker and is known for her unwavering commitment to helping others transform their lives through trauma breakthroughs.  Conversation Topics: Healing from trauma requires more than just time; it requires effort and commitment. Trauma can manifest in various forms, not just in extreme cases. Coping mechanisms can often mask deeper issues that need to be addressed before true healing can happen . Awareness of your pain is the first step towards your healing. Supportive community plays a crucial role in healing. True healing involves unpacking past pain, not just managing its symptoms. Investing in your own healing can transform your relationships. Women often prioritize others' needs over their healing. Understanding the patterns of pain can lead to breakthroughs in your recovery. The journey of healing is ongoing and requires commitment.   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Healing from Trauma 02:19 Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Our Wellbeing 05:32 The Healing Process: Moving Beyond Coping 08:25 Defining Trauma: Big T vs. Little t 11:38 The Role of Awareness in Our Healing 14:26 Coping Mechanisms vs. True Healing 17:26 The Importance of Community in Healing 20:25 Practical Steps for Healing at Home 23:16 The Transformational Power of Change 26:15 Keisha's Personal Journey and Motivation 29:25 Conclusion and Call to Action   Watch this podcast episode on YouTube:  Get our Guide: "15 Social Media Boundaries to Protect Your Joy" Get Allie's book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made” Join our Love Her A'Latte campaign — make our podcast possible Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok Get the show notes:  

The Aftermath of Live Events and the Importance of Integration   The shift that occurs at live events (e.g., Superhuman Selling Live Event in Portland). Recognizing the feeling of an "inner snap" or "click" after an event. The distinction between exciting breakthroughs and the essential nature of integration for lasting power. The goal of grounding the leap and locking in a "new normal" of ease, wealth, and power. The risk of losing momentum, collapsing frequency, or talking oneself back into smallness.   Core Concepts: Identity, ROI, and Faith   The focus on identity shifts and their impact. The concept of Return on Investment (ROI) in personal growth and business. The role of faith, particularly faith in oneself.   The Parable of Talents as a Metaphor for Personal Gifts   Introduction to the Parable of Talents as a framework for discussion. The parable's interpretation as representing gifts, capacity, and vision. The contrast between investing and multiplying talents versus burying them. The master's expectation of growth and utilization of what is given. Applying the parable to personal calling and potential, and one's unique frequency.   Overcoming Resistance and Recalibrating to Higher Frequencies   The concept of an "activation" experienced at events. The idea of speaking without scripting and selling from pure alignment as a "home frequency." The "crabs in a bucket" analogy (specifically mentioning Kukui crabs and Robert Kiyosaki's book) to illustrate external resistance. The nervous system's tendency to pull individuals back into old patterns, urgency, and metrics of worth. The common fumble point: not anchoring the "upgrade." Experiencing feelings of being "off," slow, or uncertain after growth periods. Defining this as "recalibration" rather than regression. The nervous system adjusting to a "new altitude" or higher consciousness. Embracing discomfort as a sign of moving beyond the known.   Brandon's Personal Journey of Holding Back Gifts   Brandon's realization of holding back personal gifts, not due to disbelief, but fear of being "too much." The self-imposed limitations of protecting others from their full voice or light. The subtle impact of holding back, slowing down progress in unproductive ways. The connection between hesitation and the obstruction of overflow.   The Wisdom of "Share the Scar, Not the Wound"   Introduction of the adage: "Share the scar, not the wound." Brandon's initial misunderstanding and later realization of its meaning. The underlying reason for not sharing wounds or scars: fear of doubt from others regarding current strength. The realization that people need the "true version" of oneself, not a perfectly polished one. The importance of showing healing and the learned path, rather than a lack of past struggle. The role of integration in stabilizing transformation for serving from it, not bleeding from it.   Connecting Personal Growth to Tangible Results and ROI   The dual desire for the "woo" (spiritual or mindset work) and tangible results. The impact of meditation and nervous system regulation on decision-making, retention, and creativity (citing Harvard and Stanford research). Higher EQ, closing rates, greater retention, and bigger deals as outcomes. The significant advantage (e.g., 20%+) that can be gained. Operating from identity versus operating from performance. The benefits of identity-based operation: faster selling, smoother scaling, attracting loyal clients. The work is about functioning better, not just feeling better, without burnout.   Community Support and Ongoing Integration   Mention of resources within the "Superhuman Selling community" (e.g., guided recalibration, audio meditations). The ongoing process of integration and achieving "Overflow" as a new normal. Brandon's community coaching and mastermind discussions on "grounding the leap" and "not collapsing frequency." The importance of a "container" or additional space for integration after events. The consequence of lacking such support: loss of momentum and feeling drudgery. A call to action to create such support if not already available.   Final Call to Action: Investing Talents and Stopping the Leak   A direct question to the audience: are they investing their talents or burying them? The need to stop hiding behind mastered strategies and address where energy is being leaked. Identifying areas of shrinking from what is rightfully theirs. Recognizing the pre-existence of calls and tools. An invitation to reach out if ready to stop burying talents and to discuss the next steps for their gifts. The process of grounding the leap and making overflow the new normal. Shifting from chasing sales to becoming a "signal voice."

In this episode, we sit down with Richard Grannon for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about trauma, perception, and the psychology of narcissism. He shares insights on how narcissistic dynamics take root, why the popular use of the term often misses the mark, and how childhood wounds shape adult identity and behavior. We explore the cost of outsourcing meaning-making, the traps of victimhood and blame, and the deeper process of reclaiming one's internal authority. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and what it takes to stop living in a reality defined by your past.Time Stamps (00:00) Start(00:37) Introduction to Richard Grannon and His Work(02:29) Richard Grannon's Personal Journey(05:48) Defining Narcissism Clinically(09:15) Childhood Conditions Leading to Narcissism(12:28) Different Types of Narcissism(12:59) The Over-Pathologization of Society(17:22) Critique of Modern Psychology(30:18) The Role of Purpose and Suffering in Modern Life(45:36) Exploring the Mystical Tradition and Self-Awareness(45:56) Rites of Passage and Cultural Context(46:39) The Individual vs. The Collective(54:24) Narcissism and Therapy(59:12) AI and Narcissism(01:08:02) Codependency and Childhood Influences(01:20:36) Parentification and Emotional Incest(01:23:18) Reflections on Fatherhood and Personal Choices(01:25:47) Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.richardgrannon.com/https://www.instagram.com/richard.grannon/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

In a recent interview with Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, registered nurses Elisabeth Mack and Sherri Mack shared their expertise on plant-based therapy, specifically cannabis and hemp-derived products, for older adults. With decades of nursing experience, both have transitioned from traditional medical settings to pioneering the use of cannabinoids to improve quality of life, particularly for seniors. Their company, Holistic Caring and The Green Nurse, offers education, coaching, and consulting to help individuals navigate this evolving field Bloom Hemp CBD, their sister company, specializes in organic hemp-based CBD formulas tailored to target specific symptoms. They also provide free access to a nurse hotline and personalized care plans to support your wellness journey.Personal Journeys to Plant-Based MedicineElisabeth Mack, MBA, BSN, RN, discovered cannabis as medicine after a bicycle accident left her reliant on high doses of ibuprofen and muscle relaxants. Introduced to CBD through a topical massage at her chiropractor's office, she experienced reduced inflammation and pain after adding CBD extracts to her supplement regimen, prompting her to research cannabis extensively. This led to her book, Cannabis for Health: Become a Coach, and the development of training programs for healthcare professionals, nurses and patients.Sherri Mack, BSN, RN, widely known as The Green Nurse, experienced a life-altering health crisis in 2012 that left her hospitalized in the ICU and dependent on numerous pharmaceuticals. Her turning point came when a 70-year-old nurse introduced her to cannabis, which enabled her to transition off 18 medications. Motivated to empower others through her experience, Sherri founded The Green Nurse. In 2021, she joined forces with Elisabeth's Holistic Caring, creating a robust educational platform called Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse. This platform features a free network designed to help individuals adopt, optimize, and maintain holistic approaches to health and wellness using plant medicines.Cannabis nursing has emerged as a recognized specialty, officially endorsed by the American Nurses Association in 2023. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing now requires nurses to be educated on cannabis as a form of medicine. Key resources, such as Cannabis: A Handbook for Nurses (featuring Chapter 9, "The Cannabis Nurse Experience," co-authored by Sherri) and Elisabeth's book, offer valuable professional training. Their comprehensive 30-unit health coach program empowers nurses to incorporate cannabis therapy into their practice, broadening access to this specialized care.Elisabeth and Sherri Mack are transforming how older adults approach plant-based therapy, offering a compassionate, evidence-based alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals. By combining their nursing expertise with personalized coaching, they empower seniors to manage pain, enhance well-being, and live their best lives. For those interested, their resources at Holistic Caring and Bloom Hemp provide a trusted starting point to explore this natural option.For more information, visit Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse  https://holisticcaring.com/ or contact their free nurse line at 970-404-HOPE(4673) to begin your journey with plant-based therapy.

a16z General Partners Erik Torenberg and Martin Casado sit down with technologist and investor Balaji Srinivasan to explore how the metaphors we use to describe AI—whether as god, swarm, tool, or oracle—reveal as much about us as they do about the technology itself.Balaji, best known for his work in crypto and network states, also brings a deep background in machine learning. Together, the trio unpacks the evolution of AI discourse, from monotheistic visions of a singular AGI to polytheistic interpretations shaped by culture and context. They debate the practical and philosophical: the current limits of AI, why prompts function like high-dimensional programs, and what it really takes to “close the loop” in AI reasoning.This is a systems-level conversation on belief, control, infrastructure, and the architectures that might govern future societies. Timecodes:0:00 Introduction: The Polytheistic AGI Framework1:46 Personal Journeys in AI and Crypto3:18 Monotheistic vs. Polytheistic AGI: Competing Paradigms8:20 The Limits of AI: Chaos, Turbulence, and Predictability9:29 Platonic Ideals and Real-World Systems14:10 Decentralized AI and the End of Fast Takeoff14:34 Surprises in AI Progress: Language, Locomotion, and Double Descent25:45 Prompting, Verification, and the Age of the Phrase29:44 AI, Crypto, and the Grounding Problem34:26 Visual vs. Verbal: Where AI Excels and Struggles37:19 The Challenge of Markets, Politics, and Adversarial Systems40:11 Amplified Intelligence: AI as a Force Multiplier43:37 The Polytheistic Counterargument: Convergence and Specialization48:17 AI's Impact on Jobs: Specialists, Generalists, and the Future of Work57:36 Security, Drones, and Digital Borders1:03:41 AI, Power, and the Balance of Control1:06:33 The Coming Anti-AI Backlash1:09:10 Global Implications: Labor, Politics, and the Future Resources:Find Balaji on X: https://x.com/balajisFind Martin on X: https://x.com/martin_casado Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Bob Greenyer is part of a dedicated crew of researchers who think they have cracked the holy grail of energy - sustainable fusion reactions that take place with ordinary elements at room temperature and pressure, with nothing but some copper wire and five volts of input. Greenyer is an active player in the emerging field of low energy nuclear reactions, has stewarded the Martin Fleischmann memorial project for many years, and is working on producing public demonstrations of plasmoid fusion devices for all those who want to come and see them in action. Much of his work is informed by an esoteric frame, where he believes that alchemists and the ancients before them left clues in their art about the architecture of the devices that are needed to pull abundant energy out of the quantum vacuum. Our conversation spans the history of fusion research, the strange findings that Greenyer is reporting, and nearly two hours of us hanging on for dear life as we try to understand the physics of what Greenyer is proposing.

My guest today is Zach Dell. Zach is the co-founder and CEO of Base Power Company. Base is a modern power company building a reliable and affordable home energy service powered by distributed batteries. We explore one of the most underappreciated machines in our world: the electrical grid. Zach walks us through the complex world of electricity infrastructure and explains why the 100-year-old grid is woefully unprepared for the explosion in demand coming from AI, electric vehicles, and industrial electrification. Base's approach involves creating a distributed network of home batteries that provide backup power to customers while serving as grid resources, elegantly solving infrastructure bottlenecks that plague traditional utility-scale projects. We discuss energy as the fundamental enabler of human progress, scaling distributed energy assets, and the vertical integration strategy driving Base's unit economics.
