He then earned a Master of Arts degree at Cornell in education, and a Master of Education degree at Columbia in psychology. He became a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and worked for more than 2 years at Abilities, Inc., where he provided vocational and placement counseling for severely disabled individuals. Wanting to accomplish still more, Ken enrolled in Hofstra University's school of Law and worked for more than 40 years as a Nassau County assistant district attorney, where he became a Deputy Bureau Chief.

He describes the many challenges of returning to Columbia in a time before the ADA was established and having navigate around a campus with was not wheelchair accessible. With the help and support of his friends, family, and his many caregivers, Ken managed to achieve what all of the medical "experts' had deemed impossible.

As parents, educators, and caregivers, we're constantly giving—to our children, our students, our families, and our communities. But what if the key to lasting happiness isn't giving more... it's being more intentional about what fills you first?In this episode, I sit down with mom of six, educator, and microschool founder Candace "Candi" Lehenbauer to explore her simple yet powerful philosophy: you can't serve from an empty platter. Together, we talk about overcoming comparison, cultivating curiosity, embracing lifelong learning, and creating daily rhythms that allow us to pour into others from a place of fullness instead of depletion.

David was not supposed to live past birth, and if he miraculously did, he was not supposed to live past 20... God had other ideas of what was supposed to happen.

In this episode of Page Burners, we continue our readthrough of The Bonehunters with a deep dive into Chapters 11 and 12, where Steven Erikson blends philosophy, mythology, and character drama into another thought-provoking stretch of the Malazan saga.Our discussion explores Heboric's increasingly enigmatic journey and the divided opinions he inspires, as we debate his role, his connection to the gods, and whether he's a tragic figure or simply one of the series' most frustrating characters. We also examine the Crippled God's growing influence, unpack his followers' unsettling worldview, and dive into one of the most fascinating conversations yet about faith, suffering, and religion in the Malazan universe.Elsewhere, we break down the mysteries surrounding the Hounds of Shadow and the Hounds of Darkness, revisit Shadowthrone and Cotillion's latest moves, and discuss the emotional and manipulative dynamics between Icarium, Mappo, and Taralack Veed. Along the way, we share theories, challenge one another's interpretations, and speculate on where these storylines are leading.As always, this is a full-spoiler discussion for everything we've covered so far in Malazan Book of the Fallen and the connected novels by Ian C. Esslemont.If you're reading along with us, be sure to finish Chapters 13 and 14 before joining us for the next episode as The Bonehunters continues to build toward its unforgettable final act.Page Chewing BlogBecome a Page Chewing MemberPage Chewing ForumJoin Captivate.fmJoin PodMatchWant to be a guest on Page Chewing?

The fastest way to become a trusted leader isn't getting promoted. It's becoming the person people run to when something hurts, and you can help fix it.Jackie sat down with Darrell Williams, a master certified life coach and longtime military and federal leader, to translate high-pressure leadership into everyday skills for educators and instructional designers. We dig into why rank never guarantees someone's best work, how culture and connection matter even more on remote teams, and what it looks like to lead through influence when you don't have formal authority. Darrell shares practical language you can use right away, like asking colleagues what their biggest “headache” is and shifting from “boss energy” to a consultant approach that makes you a strategic partner.We also go deeper than tactics. If you feel stuck, stretched thin, or unsure about your next step, Darrell offers his “three R's” framework to reconnect with purpose: re-look at your passion, reconnect with a mentor, and review options for a coach. Then we bring it back to performance under pressure with a story from presidential support missions, showing how calm leadership helps teams think, improvise, and own solutions. Plus, a memorable reframe for nerves: the butterflies may not leave, so learn to walk with them in formation.If you found value here, subscribe to Designing with Love, share this with a colleague, and leave a heartfelt review so more instructional designers and educators can find these leadership tools.
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kevin M Hall. He is the author of Book Marketing on a Budget and will chat with us about inexpensive marketing strategies. Kevin M. Hall is a memoirist, storyteller, and independent author. He is the author of multiple books including Ilion: My Childhood, My Memories, My Rosemount MN Memories, SIGNS – The Veil is Thinner Than We Imagine, and Book Marketing on a Budget – Simple Steps for New Authors. Kevin began writing after his grandchildren repeatedly asked what life was like when he was growing up. That simple question opened a door to stories that blend memory, history, spiritual awakening, and practical insight—and sometimes a bit of humor only hindsight can provide. Kevin is an author who favors lived experience over theory, and steady progress over hype for readers who value authenticity. He writes reflective, practical books drawn from real life—helping readers find meaning, clarity, and steady progress without false promises. Kevin's writing style has been described as easy to read, atmospheric, and reminiscent of The Wonder Years and Boy Meets World. His books are sprinkled with photographs, well-chosen quotes, and historical tidbits that bring each story to life, making readers feel both nostalgia and connection. Kevin also writes practical nonfiction for self-published authors. His book, Book Marketing on a Budget – Simple Steps for New Authors, shares real-world strategies for helping writers find their audience, grow readership, and expand recognition without spending a fortune. Drawing on his own experience, Kevin shows how clarity, consistency, and thoughtful promotion can turn a personal project into a book that actually reaches the readers it was written for. Kevin is a husband of nearly fifty years, a father, and a grandfather. He lives with his wife in Rush, New York, just outside Rochester, surrounded by family, laughter, and the occasional grandchild chaos. Before becoming an author, Kevin worked as a programmer and project manager and is the holder of U.S. Patent 8,156,416 B2 related to enhancement of document security. In my book review, I stated Book Marketing on a Budget is a fantastic marketing resource written by Kevin M Hall. If you are a new/newer author and don't know where to start marketing or have tried a few things but don't know where to go from there, then this is the book for you. Kevin provides 19 free or inexpensive marketing tips complete with step by step instructions and even samples of his own use of the tips. He even helps you see where to start and where you can eventually move to as you "graduate" from elementary marketing. I really love his one month marketing plan that will guide authors on their journey toward getting their book out in front of their readers. This is a great book for authors who need some inexpensive marketing tips. Don't miss it.

Warning: This discussion contains major spoilers for the entire Second Apocalypse series, including The Aspect-Emperor novels.Our spoiler-filled reread of The Second Apocalypse continues with Part IV: The Warrior from The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker.This section marks the return of Kellhus to center stage as he begins his uneasy journey alongside Cnaiür. Looking back after finishing the entire seven book series, these chapters reveal countless layers of foreshadowing that are easy to overlook on a first read.In this episode, we discuss Kellhus' reunion with Cnaiür, Moënghus' lasting influence over both father and son, and the complicated relationship that begins to form between Kellhus, Cnaiür, and Serwë. We also explore the brutality of the northern wilderness, the nature of the Sranc, the first hints surrounding Kellhus' mysterious halos, and several fascinating clues that point toward revelations much later in the series.Along the way, we examine Bakker's incredible prose, the philosophical ideas hidden beneath the action, and some of our favorite passages from Part IV: The Warrior.Page Chewing BlogBecome a Page Chewing MemberPage Chewing ForumJoin Captivate.fmJoin PodMatchWant to be a guest on Page Chewing?

Mensimah's Round Table: Conversations with Women of Power and Grace
There's a particular kind of ache that comes from being doubted for something you know, deep down, to be true. Maybe it was a career change nobody understood, a relationship you had to walk away from, or a creative path that looked reckless from the outside.We sit with that ache instead of rushing past it—and we ask what it might actually be trying to teach us.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why moments of self-trust under pressure often become turning points.The difference between being wrong and simply being early or unfamiliar to others.A grounded, three-part practice for moving through doubt without abandoning what you know to be true.A guided meditation to help you reconnect with your own inner clarity.This episode also includes a conversation about why the discomfort of being questioned isn't necessarily a sign you've gone off course. Sometimes it's simply the friction of doing something the world hasn't caught up to yet. We look at what it really means to build self-trust in moments like these, and why vindication doesn't always arrive the way—or the speed—we expect it to.A moment to sit with: Being criticized doesn't mean you're wrong.

#239 - Joshua Church's life starts with a shock: his lung collapses right after birth. What follows is years of injuries, surgeries, chronic pain, and a quiet belief that takes root early, “Maybe I'm broken.” When that story hardens, it doesn't just shape how he moves through sports and school. It shapes what he thinks his future can be.We talk through the rock bottom moment that forces a change, and the surprisingly simple first step that cracks the door open: an invitation to yoga. From there, Joshua walks us into the deeper work that transforms his health and mindset, including breath work, nervous system regulation, and cold water immersion. He explains how breath can shift us from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest, why cold exposure is really a practice for stress tolerance, and how the mantra “I am strong, I'm healthy, I'm capable” becomes a tool for rewiring identity in real time.We also go beyond the body. Joshua shares what faith looks like when life falls apart, including the rise and fall of his ice bath company, and why he believes surrender can be a form of strength. If you're curious about breathwork benefits, cold plunge benefits, mindset shifts, or healing from chronic pain and self-doubt, this conversation is both practical and deeply human.Subscribe for more stories like this, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a rating or review if the message lands.

Let me know what you think of this episode? Trauma doesn't have to be dramatic to be real. When someone lives through years of control, gaslighting, and image-obsessed “love,” the nervous system can start acting like it's still in danger, even after the relationship ends. That's why I sat down with Taylor Williams, founder of Trinity Trauma Therapy, to talk about narcissistic abuse recovery, religious trauma, and the quiet ways pain gets stored in the body and mind.We dig into what narcissistic behaviour actually looks like: a selective lack of empathy, constant deflection, denial, and the pressure to keep up a public story at any cost. Taylor explains why so many clients report PTSD symptoms without a single “classic” trauma event, and how spiritual abuse can happen when Scripture is used as a control tactic. If you've ever struggled to see God as a good Father because faith was tied to fear, shame, or conditional approval, you'll hear language that helps you separate God's character from someone else's manipulation.Taylor also breaks down EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) in plain terms, including bilateral stimulation and how the brain can “rewire” around old memories. We talk about why safety and basic needs matter before deep trauma work, what healthy support can look like for Christians and non-Christians alike, and the first boundaries that often signal real freedom: saying no without over-explaining, protecting your time, and finally naming your wants and needs.If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more survivors can find real support.Support the showWant to be a financial supporter of the show, click here, https://www.buzzsprout.com/1754677/supporters/newFollow and subscribe to the podcast here, and get weekly updates on when new episodes are released. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dorsey-ross-show/id1495921329Social Media Links, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dorsey.ross/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DROCKROSS/ My Book Amazon Book Overcomer https://bit.ly/4h7NGIPWant to be a guest on Dorsey Ross Show?

What if the greatest lesson from Hollywood wasn't about making blockbuster movies—but about living a more focused, creative, and meaningful life?In this episode of One More Thing Before You Go, Michael welcomes Steven Puri, former EVP at DreamWorks and VP at 20th Century Fox, whose career helped shape iconic films including Transformers, Star Trek, Die Hard, and Independence Day. Yet the most compelling story isn't what happened behind the camera—it's what happened within.Steven shares an extraordinary journey from television news anchor to software engineer, from Oscar-winning visual effects producer to Hollywood executive, entrepreneur, and founder. Along the way, he opens up about selling his first company at 28, enduring the disappointment of failed startups, and discovering that success without purpose is never enough.Together, Michael and Steven explore why flow—that rare state where focus, creativity, and performance align—may be one of the most valuable skills we can cultivate in an age of constant distraction. They discuss how setbacks reshape identity, why failure often becomes our greatest teacher, and how purpose emerges when we stop chasing achievement and start pursuing what truly matters.Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, leader, or simply searching for greater clarity and fulfillment, this conversation offers practical insights into unlocking your best work—and perhaps your best self.In this episode, you'll discover:Why flow states unlock peak creativity and performanceThe surprising lessons Hollywood taught about storytelling and human natureHow failure can become the catalyst for reinventionWhy focus is becoming one of the world's rarest—and most valuable—skillsPractical ways to create the conditions for deeper work, creativity, and fulfillmentSometimes the biggest breakthroughs don't happen on a movie set.

Good teaching is powerful, but it can also hide a trap: when a class goes well, we assume the design must be strong. Jackie unpacks a common myth in instructional design and education that shows up everywhere from K-12 to corporate training and higher ed: good teaching equals good instructional design. They're connected, but they're not the same job, and confusing them can leave gaps in practice, assessment, accessibility, and real-world performance.We talk through why this belief has lasted so long, especially because teaching is the most visible part of learning while instructional design happens behind the scenes. Jackie breaks down what designers actually do: analyze learner needs, clarify measurable goals, sequence content, build practice, plan feedback, choose tools, design assessments, and evaluate whether the learning experience worked. That work becomes even more critical in online learning, blended learning, self-paced courses, and scalable training where an instructor cannot adjust everything in real time.You'll leave with a concrete “myth reset” and a simple review process you can run on one course, lesson, module, or training: What should learners be able to do by the end? Where do they practice? How will they get feedback? How does the assessment connect to the goal? What support is built in before learners get stuck? Pick one improvement and bring teaching and design together with intention.If this helps you rethink your next learning experience, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a review so more instructional designers and educators can find it.

What mistake from your past still makes you question whether you deserve a better future?Maybe it was a failure, a bad decision, a relationship you damaged, or a season of life you wish you could erase. The moment may be over, but the regret is still influencing how you see yourself and what you believe is possible.In this episode of Grit, Grace, & Inspiration, Kevin Lowe reveals how to forgive yourself for past mistakes, release the weight of shame, and stop allowing yesterday to control tomorrow.How Past Regret Keeps You StuckMost people are not held back by what happened in their past.They are held back by what they decided it means about them.You may have made a mistake, but that does not mean you are a mistake. You may have failed, but that does not make you a failure.Your past is evidence of what happened. It is not a verdict declaring who you must remain.Three Lies That Make It Hard to Forgive YourselfThis episode confronts three beliefs that keep people trapped in shame and regret:Because I did something bad, I must be bad.If people knew the truth about me, they would not love or accept me.It is too late for me to change my life.These thoughts may feel true, but they are not facts. They are stories you have repeated long enough to believe.Your Past Is Preparation, Not a PrisonYour experiences have shaped you, but they do not have to imprison you.Even the painful and embarrassing chapters of your life can give you wisdom, compassion, and the ability to help someone else. Some of the most powerful futures are built by people who learned how to turn a messy past into something meaningful.You cannot change what happened, but you can decide what happens next.A Simple Exercise to Release Past MistakesKevin challenges you to write down the one sentence from your past that has been controlling your life.Read it aloud and recognize what it truly is:One sentence.It is not your whole story. It is not even an entire chapter.When you are ready, tear it up and throw it away as a declaration that it no longer has authority over your future.What You Will Learn in This EpisodeYou will discover:How to forgive yourself without ignoring responsibilityWhy shame causes you to hide and play smallHow regret becomes attached to your identityWhy it is never too late to begin againA practical exercise for letting go of the pastStop Letting Your Past Control Your FutureYou still hold the pen.Your past may always be part of your story, but it does not get to write the ending. It is time to release the anchor, turn the page, and move toward the future you still deserve.Hey, it's Kevin!I hope you enjoyed today's episode!

Calvin Bagley is a Healthcare Entrepreneur, Medicare Broker, Thought Leader Advocate, Speaker, and Amazon Best Selling Author who went from having no education as a child to earning a business degree at the age of 34. Today Calvin is the founder of several different businesses which have positively impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people. His book is a published memoir titled "Hiding from the School Bus," which tells the story of growing up in poverty, isolation, religious extremism, and navigating an education system which wasn't built for kids like him. Calvin's powerful story is one of resilience, faith, and how to turn pain into purpose. He did not set foot in a classroom until he was 22 years old. He wasn't homeschooled, he was "no-schooled." Being kept close to home with no exposure to traditional education, his older sister taught him how to read. Incredibly, through hard work and profound stubbornness, he not only learned to read, but he learned how to speak Portuguese and Spanish when he went on his church mission at the age of 19. Calvin explains how learning Portuguese actually helped him read and write English and encouraged him to continue to pursue further education, eventually being accepted to a college and earning his business degree, which launched him on his remarkable and rewarding career. Calvin shares his story with grace and compassion as he talks about overcoming childhood adversity, resilience and faith after spiritual abuse, breaking cycles, how to build a life worth living when you started with nothing, how to love yourself with all your heart, and how to be the hero of your own story. Download this powerful and inspiring episode to hear Calvin's story and learn how we can all change the script and become the hero of our story.

Many creatives let the tough moments of life - a tragic loss, unexpected struggles, a season of isolation - steal their creative dream. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're waiting for the pain to pass before you pick your creative gift back up, you might be delaying your own healing. In this episode, author and artist Ruth Douthitt joins host Allen C. Paul to talk about the twenty-two years between writing down the idea for her first book and actually publishing it, and the incredibly difficult season of grief, loneliness and loss that filled a lot of that gap. You'll learn from her how to tell the difference between art as a healthy outlet and art as something you're hiding in instead of bringing your burdens to God.If you're carrying a loss you haven't figured out what to do with, or a calling you've convinced yourself is running out of time, this is an episode you need to hear.

In episode 262 , LaTonya Flood reminds of us our spiritual royalty, as children of the King. Being a daughter of the King shapes her identity, present and future; it influences how she shows up in any space.

Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating
We talk with Cam Jennings from ToyChats about why sex toy shopping still forces people to gamble, and how a dedicated review platform can give consumers real feedback without relying on mainstream social media. We also get practical about safer buying, lube basics, anal play, and what changes as intimacy products go more mainstream. • why sex toy brands struggle to communicate with consumers on major platforms • why returns are limited and why warranties matter • how ToyChats works as a user-generated sex toy review site • how reviewers get paid for approved written and video reviews • what makes certain manufacturers stand out on quality and support • how men's toys and tech features have evolved over time • what's real and what's hype in sex dolls, robots, and AI • why buying intimacy items at big-box stores feels different than an adult boutique • lube safety basics, reputable brands, and why water-based is a smart default • anal play guidance, prostate targeting, and beginner safety rules I really hope that everybody engages with us on Toy Chats, even if you're not looking to be a reviewer.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jennifer E Tirrell, author of the book Jane's Secret. Jennifer E. Tirrell was orphaned by the age of three, and kinship-adopted. She knows what it means to rise from broken roots into a life of purpose. Now a transparent and encouraging writer and speaker, she uses her personal story to connect deeply with others. With boldness and vulnerability, she invites you to merge your roots, purpose, and blessings — to live all-in. Her award-winning Children's Picture Book, Little Sprout says Yes! is based on a real one-horned goat who finds home in the family of God. Book One of Pets to the Rescue, a Cousin Crew Series is available now! Written to promote literacy in children, The Apple Butter Adventure is so fun, your kids will want to read it again and again. Finally, her poignant time-split novel, Jane's Secret debuted in 2026. She is a contributing writer to Focus on the Family, Arise Daily Devotions, Guideposts and more. She is thrilled to have received her crown of white hair and six dear grandchildren to go with it—so far! Jennifer and her husband, Bobby, live life to the fullest in the Coastal Carolinas. In my book review, I stated Jane's Secret is a dual timeline Christian historical fiction by Jennifer E Tirrell. We quickly meet Jane, a wealthy young woman who stands to inherit a house and land once she marries. But her father dies, her stepfather is mean and greedy, and her life takes a different course. I loved her bold personality despite the limitations set on women of the day. We also meet modern Kaitlyn who was given an old key that has been passed down through the generations. This key, she is told, will bless her and her posterity. When she finds a letter that gives her more information about the key, she decides to go to England to investigate. What starts out as curiosity is soon laden with romance, mystery, and potential murder. The romance will keep you smiling. The history will keep you learning. The twists and turns will keep you reading. Definitely add this book to your TBR!

What if happiness isn't something you achieve—but something you allow?In this episode of the Happier Series, Ryann sits down with somatic coach and body relationship expert Loni Markman to explore the surprising connection between happiness, self-trust, and the body.✨ Try Loni's Corematix Collective with a free two-week trial: https://www.lonimarkman.com/the-corematix-collectiveSo many of us spend our days living from the neck up—overthinking, future-tripping, and carrying the pressure to do more, be more, and get it all right. But according to Loni, true happiness isn't found in another mindset hack or productivity system. It's found in learning how to listen to the wisdom of your body.Together, Ryann and Loni discuss why power is really presence, how to tell the difference between facts and the stories we make up in our minds, and the subtle ways our bodies communicate when we're disconnected from ourselves. They also explore the role of safety, pleasure, self-compassion, and those tiny everyday moments that help us feel more grounded, connected, and alive.If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck, or like happiness is always one step ahead of you, this conversation offers a gentler path forward.In This Episode:Why happiness is a nervous system state—not a destinationThe difference between living in fact versus fictionSigns your mind and body are out of syncHow stress, pressure, and self-judgment disconnect us from joyWhy self-compassion is essential for wellbeingThe connection between pleasure, presence, and happinessSimple ways to build self-trust through body awarenessThe question Loni asks herself every day to stay connectedConnect with LoniLoni is the founder of Powerhouse and creator of The Corematix Collective, where she helps women reconnect with their bodies, build nervous system safety, and cultivate lasting self-trust.
This episode of CFO at Home is part 1 of Vince·s conversation with Heidi Heron, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner with 25+ years of experience, about how the ·language of the mind· creates patterns of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors·and how those patterns can be changed through root-cause work. Heidi connects NLP to money issues that commonly come up in her work, like worthiness, lack and limitation, and relationship dynamics around finances. She shares examples of a successful day trader who couldn·t keep money due to an unconscious childhood message, and a woman who shifted a belief that money is hard to get after tracing it back to an overheard conversation. Heidi also explains what she means by ·money as energy,· describing how gratitude for both paying and receiving money helped transform her own relationship with it.
