In this episode of The Art of Consulting, Andy Fry explores the transformative concept of the Law of Abundance, challenging the scarcity mindset that often limits our potential. He highlights the universe's boundless resources and emphasizes the need to move beyond beliefs such as "there's not enough time, money, or opportunities." Through personal stories and actionable strategies, Andy offers guidance on shifting perspectives and embracing abundance as a pathway to success. From identifying how scarcity is used in sales tactics to underscoring the value of creativity and consistent effort, Andy provides practical tools for breaking mental barriers and unlocking hidden opportunities. His message is inspiring yet pragmatic: abundance is real, but achieving it requires belief, intentional action, and the willingness to collaborate. Episode Summary: Understanding the Law of Abundance: The universe provides abundant resources, but scarcity is a mindset that often limits us. Scarcity creates urgency and pressure, often used in sales tactics like "limited time offers" or "only a few left." Shifting the Mindset: Focusing on abundance allows for creative solutions and opportunities. Stress and limitations arise when scarcity dominates your thoughts. Work and Action: While resources are abundant, effort and work are required to access them. Examples include desalinating water from the ocean or mining natural resources. Belief and Creativity: Believing in abundance helps you see opportunities where others see limitations. Creativity plays a key role in defining and pursuing your goals. Personal Stories and Insights: The speaker shares a story about finding money at Legoland and the importance of effort, even when resources seem readily available. They highlight that collaboration and persistence are often necessary to achieve goals. The Takeaway: The law of abundance is not about waiting for things to magically appear but believing that resources exist and working towards them. Visualizing your goals, staying creative, and taking action are essential for success. Episode Highlights: Introduction to the Law of Abundance The Scarcity Mindset in Sales and Daily Life Overcoming Scarcity: A Framework Personal Story: Finding Time Through Belief Personal Story: Discovering Abundance in Unexpected Places Abundance Requires Action and Effort Creativity and Resourcefulness as Keys to Abundance Achieving Greatness Through Collaboration and Hard Work Closing Thoughts: Embrace Abundance

#362 In this episode, Guy welcomed back Suraj Holzwarth White Eagle Medicine Woman. They delved into a deep and heartfelt discussion about the current state of the world, a collective awakening, and the collapse of old illusions. Suraj shared insights from her meditative experiences in front of Hawaiian volcanoes and discussed the significant shift of humanity towards a new understanding of self and the divine. They also talked about the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), developed over seven years, which integrates sacred geometry, ancient healing practices, and modern science to activate the pineal gland and promote healing. Suraj explained how CSM sessions can be done in-person or remotely and shared remarkable case studies demonstrating its effectiveness. The podcast underscores the importance of grounding to liquid fire, the role of forgiveness, and the journey of moving from human doing into human being. About Suraj: White Eagle Medicine Woman (Suraj Holzwarth) adventurous life began early, when at the age of 19 she moved to Alaska and became the youngest woman to climb Denali, North America's highest peak. With a deep love for the earth, she spent most of her early years in the wilds, climbing the highest peaks and guiding wilderness expeditions and retreats throughout the world for over twenty five years. In the late 90's she received a vision in dreams with indigenous Grandmothers to create the world's largest healing drum and to travel promoting peace through music. Beginning in 2000 and taking over a year to construct, White Eagle and the multicultural Alaskan community built the seven-foot, crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum.  In 2001, White Eagle and Grandmother Drum were launched on their first of many World Peace Tours inspiring unity, peace and “drumming up” awareness of earth sustainable projects with the theme “ The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth.  White Eagle is the founding director and Drum Keeper of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project and the 501c3 non-profit Whirling Rainbow Foundation based in Homer, Alaska.

She has since traveled over a million miles touching a million people in 20 countries with the 7 ft, crystal inlaid, thundering heartbeat of the world's largest drum of its kind, Grandmother Drum, and promoting unity, peace, tribal reconciliation, and earth sustainability. Her award winning CDs include “Journey of the Heart”, “Songlines of the Soul”, “Living Waters of Grace” and “Holy Ground”. She is the author of “The Magic Bundle” children's book, and “Songs of A New Earth” songbook. White Eagle is also the director and co-producer of the award winning documentary film “GrandMother Drum: Awakening the Global Heart”, selected as the Top 20 Spiritual Films at the Tel Aviv Spirit Film Festival.

How should Christians approach immigration, justice, and faith in today's cultural climate? In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim dive into "Joyful, Peaceful, and Gracious Noncompliance," exploring what scripture teaches about welcoming the stranger, showing compassion, and advocating for justice. Drawing on the work of experts like Matthew Soerens and their own reflections, they tackle the complex intersections of cruciformity, faith and politics, and the role of the church in society. Through real-life stories, scripture analysis, and discussions on cultural challenges, they address the dehumanizing language often used in immigration debates, the tension between legality and justice, and the church's responsibility to embody the teachings of Jesus. What does it mean to love our neighbor, especially when they are vulnerable? How can the church navigate these issues with humility, courage, and hope? Engage with thoughtful insights, critical questions, and a call to action to advocate for justice in peaceful, gracious ways.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright explore the concept of “male menopause” and whether it's backed by science. Dr. Cooper breaks down hormonal changes in men, including testosterone decline, metabolic dysfunction, and the myths surrounding andropause. The episode dives into why men and women experience aging differently, how metabolism ties into hormone shifts, and what really happens to male fertility and energy over time. After listening, you'll understand why “male menopause” isn't the full story and what really matters for men's health as they age.Key Takeaways:There's no sudden “male menopause”—testosterone declines gradually in men, unlike the rapid hormonal changes seen in female menopause.Metabolic dysfunction can suppress testosterone in men, leading to fatigue, muscle loss, and changes in body fat distribution.Converting testosterone to estrogen in belly fat can further suppress testosterone, creating a cycle that impacts energy and mood.Testosterone therapy might be beneficial for some men with low levels, but should always be guided by a healthcare provider after thorough evaluation.Most supplements marketed to “boost testosterone” are unproven and potentially unsafe—focus on medical advice and proper testing.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Mark shares his journey with testosterone treatment and how restoring balance improved his mood and energy.Andrea and Dr. Cooper discuss the importance of understanding individual lab results, getting the full metabolic picture, and consulting with primary care providers before considering hormone therapy.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

Boldness looks different when you're a gay dad, a former Broadway dancer, and raising a toddler named Maverick in Florida.   To kick off Pride Month, John Corella is joined by Bret and Stephen, Broadway performers, husbands, and proud dads, who offer an honest look at parenting, partnership, and identity. They talk about raising their son Maverick with intention, finding joy in everyday moments, and the kind of quiet courage it takes to show up as a two-dad family in spaces built for straight families.   Where does boldness come from when the world keeps trying to put you in a box? What does it mean to raise a child who sees authenticity modeled at home? Through stories about sobriety, social media, and their dance competition backgrounds, Bret and Stephen reflect on what has shaped them and what they hope to pass on.   This episode questions the norms that still dominate parenting culture and the dance world, and it offers a reminder that being seen can be a radical act of love.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Pride Month Kickoff 08:57 Becoming Bold as Gay Parents 15:03 How Dance Competitions Shaped Identity 17:55 Coming Out and Family Reactions 21:03 Advice for LGBTQ+ Youth 23:50 Finding Joy in Parenting and Creativity 26:55 Coping with Online Negativity 36:57 Personal Stories of Addiction and Recovery 42:20 Relationship Advice for Gay Men 44:10 Authenticity vs. Conformity in Gay Culture 47:51 Navigating Monogamy and Open Relationships 53:47 Parenting Challenges and Emotional Growth 56:34 What Fatherhood Has Taught Us 01:00:07 Public Reactions to Gay Dads 01:04:46 Challenging Gender Norms in Parenting 01:16:30 Understanding Straight Privilege in Family Life 01:21:15 How Representation Shapes Queer Families 01:23:11 Celebrating Pride and Building Community   Links Connect with Bret and Stephen: www.instagram.com/broadwayhusbands https://substack.com/@broadwayhusbands   Connect with John Corella: Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Animée par la volonté de transmettre l'appel du large, Marta Guemes a fondé Ocean Peak, une association qui organise des séjours d'initiation à la navigation et à l'escalade pour des jeunes en difficulté. En 2019, un premier équipage quittait La Rochelle pour deux semaines entre les eaux profondes de l'Atlantique et les falaises escarpées bretonnes.

Une conversation avec un éducateur spécialisé lui inspire une idée : emmener des jeunes en difficulté à la découverte de la navigation et de l'escalade. Il fallait tout imaginer, construire le projet pas à pas. Et quelques mois plus tard, l'association Ocean Peak est née. Au mois de juin 2019, un premier équipage se prépare à prendre le large depuis le port de La Rochelle. Quatre jeunes, accompagnés de quatre adultes, embarquent pour une expédition de deux semaines qui débute par 48h de navigation, cap sur la presqu'île de Crozon. Entre le bleu profond de l'Atlantique et les falaises escarpées des côtes bretonnes, le voyage promet bien plus qu'un simple dépaysement. Il devient une parenthèse pour reconstruire, une pause pour reprendre souffle, un point de départ vers de nouveaux horizons.À propos de Marta Guemes :Formée à la voile aux Glénans, Marta Guemes traverse l'Atlantique en solitaire lors de la Mini Transat 2017 — une expérience fondatrice qui la pousse à se consacrer pleinement à la mer. En 2023, elle embarque pour Via Sedna, une expédition 100 % féminine mêlant voile et alpinisme jusqu'aux fjords du Groenland. Portée par l'envie de transmettre l'appel du large, elle s'engage depuis 2019 dans Ocean Peak, une association qui propose à des jeunes en difficulté des séjours de rupture en mer et en montagne, pour vivre une aventure exigeante, retrouver confiance en eux et imaginer un nouveau départ.
