Life is about engaging with the choices you can make right now, and embracing uncertainty with the courage to choose again and again.In this episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall speaks with entrepreneur and author, Hussein Hallak, about his book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and his mission to turn lived experience into legacy. They explore why making choices—big or small—matters more than getting them “right,” how curiosity and resilience shape our growth, and why human connection will always outweigh technology's advances. This conversation is a reminder that the real art of life is not about control, but about choosing fully in the present moment—again and again.3 Takeaways:(1) Choice is a skill—the more often you practice making decisions, the more confident and resilient you become.(2) Small choices matter—you're not stuck; if something isn't working, you can make a different choice in the moment.(3) Human stories connect us—technology can assist, but it can't replace the meaning, empathy, and joy we create through lived experience.Check out Hussein's book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and connect with him at https://husseinhallak.comSubscribe to Real Things Living for more conversations that celebrate resilience, creativity, and the power of choice.

Quote of The Day: “As a child of God, you must realize that you are on the winning side of prophecy; until you win it is not over - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Hosts: Kanyinsola Omojola, Goodness Ezeh

Ever notice how the biggest breakthroughs don't come when you're grinding—but when you finally pause long enough to hear that whisper of inspiration? That's exactly how Patrick Francey, CEO, investor, and host of the global Top 100 podcast The Everyday Millionaire, birthed his show—on a beach in Saint Lucia with nothing but a notebook, a vision, and the courage to execute fast. In this episode of Communication Queens, Patrick pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving culture, scale businesses, and lead with values that don't just look good on paper—but pulse through every decision, every hire, and every courageous conversation. We dive into: Why “high performance comes from low tolerances” (and what to do when a top performer is an energy vampire). The sneaky ways entrepreneurs tolerate themselves out of alignment with their own values—and how to stop. How culture creation applies whether you're leading 50 employees or running a one-woman empire. Why success loves speed—and how to trust divine downloads without bulldozing data. Patrick also shares the single most powerful fork-in-the-road moment that changed his entire entrepreneurial trajectory, plus his belief that the key to success is not just strategy, but the ability to choose who you're being. This isn't just another “how to” business chat—it's a transformational invitation to stop tolerating, start choosing, and build your empire on values that actually light you up.

Peter Baines joined the NSW Police Force at 19 and worked first as a uniformed officer before he transferred across to join the Forensic Services Group and become a real-life crime scene investigator (long before it was cool).Little did he know that decision would change the trajectory of his life.He is now an author, speaker, consultant and the co-founder of an amazing charity called ‘Hands Across The Water'.Peter's work as a forensic investigator took him first to Bali to identify victims following the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.Then 2 years later in 2004 he made his first trip to Thailand to assist with the identification of victims following the Boxing Day tsunami that killed between 250,000 and 300,000 people.In a strange yet beautiful twist of fate, during his third rotation in Thailand, he agreed to raise money to fund a home for a group of children he had met who had been orphaned by the tsunami.And so ‘Hands Across The Water' was born; a charity that now owns and operates 7 homes across Thailand and cares for hundreds of at-risk children.In his conversation, we discuss:- why action leads to clarity and that if you wait long enough you'll find reasons not to do the thing,- the ‘postevent' blues and the struggle with adjusting to ‘normal' life after an experience that shifts your view of yourself and/or the world,- the importance of understanding your measures of ‘success' and making sure they align with your ‘why',- where the idea for the charity rides originated from, and- the impact that bushfires and COVID-19 have had on their fundraising efforts in 2020.

Perhaps the most powerful question you can ask yourself is - what do I need?There is no-one better equipped to help us answer that question than Kemi Nekvapil.Kemi is, quite simply, a force of nature.A pioneer in the raw food movement in Australia, Kemi is now an accredited executive and personal coach.She's committed to helping women like you and I change how we feel about ourselves and how we express ourselves, so we can set boundaries and pursue what we want from life, without guilt or apology.She's also a powerful speaker as those who attended Sparta Chicks Unleashed 2018 will attest.Plus she's a trail and ultra marathon runner. Kemi has completed 11 x marathon distances races, plus a 100km race, the Surf Coast Century, in 2016. So she ‘gets' us!Kemi was my ‘secret weapon' during 2018.  She was my coach for 6 months throughout the year and I can hand-on-heart say Sparta Chicks Unleashed would not have happened if not for her support.In this conversation we discuss:- what an underwear shopping trip at 13 with her fifth set of foster parents taught her a powerful lesson about choice,- how she was able to reach a point of having ‘presence' and unshakeable confidence,- the powerful realisation that led her into executive and personal coaching,- how she discovered running and what trail running gives her,- whether our difficulties with asking for help is the reason so many women (myself included) arrive in our 30s and 40s and realise we've lost a bit of ourselves and we don't know who we are or what we like anymore,- how setting boundaries and asking for what you need in a clean and clear way empowers other people to do the same,- what Kemi would like you to do in 2019 in order to thrive (and also why you're also allowed to pivot once you've decided).

Control is an illusion—but intention? That's where your real power lies. In this episode, I'm sharing a vulnerable reflection on how life threw me off course and what it taught me about creative flow, focus, and letting go of the hustle.If you've been juggling multiple projects, feeling scattered, or telling yourself “I just need to do more,” this episode is your permission slip to pause and choose what actually matters.We talk about:The difference between control and intention (and how knowing that changes everything)Why staying busy feels safe—but keeps you stuckThe surprising freedom that comes from choosing one clear path (just for now)What to do when life pulls you off track—and how to come back with graceIf you've been craving creative clarity and direction, I hope this episode feels like a breath of fresh air. It's okay to slow down. It's okay to change your mind. And it's powerful to choose again—with purpose.Stay Connected: The Print Life Community: https://printlife.io Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/printlifeofficial/

God chose to begin mankind's journey on the earth by giving him the gift of choice. From the Garden of Eden until now, mankind has been blessed with the responsibility of stewarding the gift of Free Will. In today's sermon, Pastor Sam Cabra walks us through the power of our choices and how Jesus set the model for how we steward this gift. Everything we do is ultimately a decision between life and death, and the Lord encourages us to choose life!Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii!

This is part 2 of this week's episode. In this week's episode, we dive into chapters 39–43 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, where destiny begins to tighten its grip on Celaena Sardothien. Armed with 13 years of combined academic literary training, we use two literary lenses to analyze the rich symbolism, metaphors, and imagery woven through these pivotal chapters, including mirrors, portals, Wyrdmarks, and fire. Our guiding question: Has Celaena ever had a choice when it comes to Destiny and the path it wants her to take? From Celaena's chilling encounter with Baba Yellowlegs and her first true glimpse into the multiverse of the Maasverse, to Dorian's growing empathy and Chaol's descent into paranoia and betrayal, these chapters mark a turning point in Celaena's character arc. We unpack themes of agency, identity, grief, and transformation, while analyzing how Sarah J. Maas uses gothic horror, fairy tale tropes, romantic foils, and fantasy lore to shape Celaena's slow march toward who she is meant to become. This episode is perfect for people who love: Throne of Glass literary analysis Romantasy with layered female protagonists Fantasy books about fate vs. free will Witchcraft, Wyrdmarks, and multiverse lore Enemies to lovers, friends to enemies, and broken friendships Symbolism, foreshadowing, and character-driven worldbuilding Dissecting Dorian, Chaol, and Celaena's emotional journeys Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

In this episode of Wellness Wednesday, Beth Gustin and Robin Ennis, joined by Jeff Thompson, explore the evolving landscape of accessibility through the lens of an upcoming all-inclusive hotel designed specifically with people with disabilities in mind. Inspired by entrepreneur Joe Morgan—who previously created a fully accessible theme park and water park—this hotel aims to go beyond ADA standards by offering individualized accommodations tailored to guest needs. The hosts reflect on the tension between inclusive design and over-specialization, raising thoughtful questions about whether hyper-accommodation can unintentionally lead to segregation. They emphasize the importance of choice, autonomy, and thoughtful design that includes, rather than isolates. Through personal stories and spirited conversation, the episode challenges listeners to consider how we can create spaces that foster belonging, equality, and dignity—without sacrificing individuality. It's a rich dialogue on what true inclusion looks like and how it can positively ripple through communities and institutions.   Check out all the Wellness Wednesday episodes.   Show Hosts:             Robin Ennis on the web at www.robinennislcsw.com             Beth Gustin, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, CAGCS, PLGS             Www.transitioningthroughchange.com   You can message Beth and Robin by calling 612-367-6093 or by email.

In this  episode of GuyShrink, host Bill Roman reconnects with Jordan Keefe, an entrepreneur and coach who shares insights from his nomadic RV lifestyle and his work helping men overcome pornography addiction through his program, "Take a Break from Porn." Jordan discusses the challenge of letting go of the need to control unpredictable outcomes in life, drawing parallels to the entrepreneurial experience. It introduces his approach to addressing pornography use as a choice rather than an uncontrollable addiction, rooted in managing anxiety or boredom. Jordan outlines his coaching strategies, emphasizing mindful breathing to reduce reactivity, tracking urges to identify patterns, and providing a safe space for emotional expression to alleviate underlying pressures. He advocates for embracing boredom and building mental resilience, illustrated by an exercise where clients lie down in a grocery store aisle to confront discomfort. Critiquing reliance on external tools like porn blockers, Jordan encourages internal emotional work and invites listeners to explore resources at takeabreakfromporn.com to start their journey toward change.

Ethan discusses a classic Buddhist concept, sīla (or shila), through the lens of knowing where to place our attention and action, knowing "what to cultivate and what to reject." Choices shift energy and energy can build power, and that power can be the difference between awakening and confusion. Ethan also argues, using the five precepts (or five mindfulness trainings) as a guide, that this might be the key to building new powerful systems in the world. He also examines a rule for social change involving only 3.5% of us making different, more awakened choices. Imagine if only a few percent of us shifted our energy from harmful systems into something healthier. Check out all the cool offerings at our sponsor Dharma Moon, including the Yearlong Buddhist Studies program (The first 6-Week module, Entering The Path, is open to all) and  Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training, starting March 21.
