In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with Elise Loehnen—writer, researcher, and author of On Our Best Behavior, a book that explores how the ancient moral framework of the seven deadly sins has been internalized by women, shaping their identities, relationships, and sense of worth. This conversation is not just a review—it's a ritual inquiry. Together, John and Elise explore: The invisible “scripts” that define femininity in a patriarchal culture; How envy, pride, sloth, and other so-called “sins” reveal deeper spiritual truths; What Elise risked—and learned—by stepping out from her “invisibility cloak”; How patriarchal systems harm men as well, and the cost of emotional suppression; How men and women can co-create a future rooted in collaboration, not competition The role of grief, longing, and sacred agency in personal and cultural awakening; Elise also shares behind-the-scenes insight into her writing process, her podcast Pulling the Thread, and her evolving work around binaries, individuation, and collective healing. This episode is part of a broader arc on The Sacred Speaks focused on rebalancing the masculine and feminine within us and in our culture. Join John for the upcoming live webinar: Reframing Suffering – The Little Teachers Explore anxiety, jealousy, and shame as sacred messengers

We explore the powerful connection between personal projects, photography's future, and staying true to your vision.

In this episode, we explore the innovative strategies employed by Justin Johnson, the founder of BMP Creative, a thriving social media agency that has seen significant growth in recent years. Justin shares insights into his journey of scaling the company from a small team to nearly 30 employees while emphasizing the importance of innovation as a driving force behind their success. At the heart of BMP Creative's growth lies a unique internal tool called the Busy-O-Meter, designed to foster transparency and understanding of employee workloads within a remote work environment. Every day at 11 a.m., the Busy-O-Meter prompts team members to rate their busyness on a scale from 1 to 10, encouraging open communication about capacity and creating a cohesive company culture.

The discussion further delves into the vital role of core values in building a culture of innovation. Justin explains that BMP Creative actively hires individuals who demonstrate a natural affinity for creative problem-solving, often evidenced through their side projects and personal passions. He recounts an enlightening interview with a candidate who not only worked in strategy but also engineered custom video distortion tools as a hobby. This propensity for innovation, Justin argues, is essential for maintaining a dynamic and forward-thinking organization. The conversation also highlights the rapid evolution of video production tools, particularly in the realm of AI, which Justin integrates into his company's workflows to enhance creativity and efficiency. He discusses the importance of staying ahead of trends and experimenting with new tools, like the Submachine platform that his team developed to streamline the creation of dynamic subtitles for Netflix content. By leveraging technology, BMP Creative boosts its output while ensuring high-quality results, allowing the agency to handle substantial client demands more effectively. Justin's excitement for storytelling comes to the forefront as he shares his endeavors in film, including his latest documentary about his parents' unconventional business. Drawing parallels between filmmaking and corporate innovation, he emphasizes the necessity of human emotion and compelling narratives in driving impactful content creation. Closing the episode, Justin invites listeners to think about how they can harness their unique stories and experiences to illustrate their professional journeys. He offers to collaborate on creating innovative sizzle reels that encapsulate personal and professional milestones, showcasing how narrative can be intertwined with corporate growth and innovation.

In this episode, I talk about being compelled to take on projects that are important to me. This includes a lot of “putting life in order” tasks that seem to be priorities for me now. The year of 2023 was consumed by my health care experience that was centered on the breast cancer screening, diagnosis, recovery and the start of survivorship.  Finally, after a year of learning to live as a survivor, I am feeling that I have space in my life to take on extra projects like creating photo albums to tell the story of my family life. Breast cancer brings up a lot of emotions and makes the future unclear.  Subscribe, rate, and review the Breast Cancer Life podcast.  The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Sonia C. is sick with covid! What! Between the rain and gloom, she couldn't help but catch the flu. Sonia T. knows her mother. When she is always go, go, go, her spirit will find some painful ways to put her in a timeout and force her to take some much needed rest. Sonia C. is still trying to learn the lesson. It can be so hard to stop when you're in motion.    This week's theme is: The Not-So Glamorous Side to Manifesting.    Highlights: Do you have a strong inner passion to create something? [3:15] What's the difference between a wish vs. a desire? [6:40] How do you know whether something is a true heart's desire? [9:00]  A lot of hard work is what makes something an ‘overnight' success. [15:45] We were born to be creative and to create. [19:15] Sonia T. shares why her alter ego would be a chauffeur. [22:15]  It's okay to not make a choice. It's okay to just ride the ride and not have a plan. [31:25]  Tool of the week. [35:05] Question of the week. [39:25]   Sonia C. talked to three clients recently who each had challenges within themselves about how to express and make time for their inner creative spirit. While listening inbetween the lines, Sonia C. realized that a lot of us want the glamor of the creative spirit without actually taking on the work needed to develop the creative skill. For example, learning to play an instrument well is very glamorous, but it can take years to master. Sonia C. has been guilty of this too with her dreams of being a skilled pianist, and yet only taking one piano lesson.    Sonia C. has written a lot of books, which is why she is qualified to say that writing can be very tedious. It is difficult! However, her passion for teaching is so strong that she shows up even for the not-so-glamorous parts to get it done. It's important to realize the vision you're manifesting will also come with a bit of ditch digging. To cultivate a creative spirit, it's critical that your heart's desire is aligned with the whole process and not just the glamorous parts of it.    Tool of the Week: Enjoy the ride. Stop thinking, and just ride the ride.    Continue on Your Journey:   Question of the Week: I often see a purple dot floating around, is this my spirit?

Is creativity the same as curiosity?  In this episode of Creative Culture, I'm joined by Danie Berger, from @DIYDanie. We talked a lot about how social media is fundamentally changing art and creativity. It's no longer enough JUST to make art...you have to show the process. And then make that process crazy enough that people will watch.  We talked about dealing with creative funks, and finding joy in authentic expression.  Main Takeaways: Creative Funks and Burnout: The difference between creative funks and burnout. Authenticity in Art: Danie shares her views on what it means to be authentic in the digital age, emphasizing the value of showing the unpolished, messy side of creativity. She believes authenticity is about being true to oneself and not just presenting a polished version for social media. Personal Passion: Is it possible to stay passionate about something that you turn into a career?  The Role of Social Media: Social media has changed the way art is fundamentally created, making it more accessible but also more challenging to maintain integrity of creative work. Personal Projects and Authenticity: We both share our experiences with personal projects that we don't necessarily share with a wide audience. These projects help us stay grounded and remind us of the joy of creating for the sake of creation, not just for content. Visit Danie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DIYDanie

They also touch on their creative projects, the success of Blasphemeet, and their preferences for warm and cold water. The conversation segues into a discussion about spiritual cleansing and the significance of bathing in the ocean.

The conversation also highlights the significance of intention and mindfulness in spiritual cleansing practices. The conversation covers various methods of spiritual cleansing and maintenance, including the use of guava leaves, rose stems, intentional rest, anointing with oils, and the use of water and salt. The importance of gratitude towards spirits and the significance of simplicity in practice are also highlighted. Sound Bites "at least once a year fully bathing in the ocean, because that in and of itself is a spiritual cleanse" "But because the ocean is just so energetically powerful in and of itself just hopping in it Will cleanse you right up."
