I discovered a great AI app that you can start using for free and then pay $5.00 per month for an upgrade. This app, Gamma (https://www.aippt.com), allows you to quickly create slide show presentations. And then use the presentation to create a video like the one above.I started with three lines of information, as shown below. I entered these lines into the Gamma app and within a few minutes, Gamma generated a ten-slide presentations that became the basis for the above video.Writer's Block: In Case of an Emergency, Break the GlassThere really is no such thing as writer's block or any other block to getting things done. Blocks only exist if you let them. If you move on, they melt away.As the blue collar comedians, say, “Get ‘er done!” Move on!The text for the video is showcased below. Note how Gamma took three lines and made ten slides with the following extensive content.In case of an emergency, break glass. The truth about writer's block.Writer's block isn't about what you think it is. It's not an immovable barrier, but rather a temporary obstacle that only exists if you allow it to.This presentation explores the reality behind the myth and provides practical solutions to get your creativity flowing again.The Myth of Writer's BlockJerry Jenkins puts it bluntly, writer's block is a myth. No other profession accepts a block as a legitimate reason to stop working. If you wait for motivation or inspiration to strike before writing, you'll be waiting forever.Creativity doesn't appear on demand. What we call writer's block is actually a combination of fear, procrastination, and perfectionism, masquerading as creative stoppage.Rather than accepting blocks, successful writers develop strategies to push through the resistance.Famous writers who struggled and won.Samuel Taylor Coleridge experienced what he called an indefinite, indescribable terror that prevented him from writing for an entire year in 1804.Paul Sylvia, a psychology professor and author on motivation, went nine months without making progress on his own book about motivation.Despite these profound struggles, both men eventually overcame their creative paralysis by fundamentally changing their mindset and establishing new writing habits.What really causes writer's block?This pie chart showcases from Research Insights, a 2024 University of North Florida study.Psychological factors including stress and anxiety. That's the big dark purple pie slice on the right.Next, fear of criticism, the lower, more lavender pie slice.And then perfectionism, which is the next as we rotate around.Procrastination.And then other factors.Two main types of blocks.There are two main types of blocks, plot block and life block.Plot block occurs when story logic stalls. Character or plot feel stuck.This is a craft problem fixable with patience, restructuring, and narrative technique.Life block results from personal issues that can drain creative energy. It can require addressing deeper needs, self-care, mental health support, or lifestyle adjustments.Recognizing your specific block type is a crucial first step to implementing the right solution.Practical hacks to break the block.You can schedule writing. Treat writing like a job. Paul Sylvia committed to two hours daily. No excuses. Consistency builds momentum and trains your brain for creativity.Step two, you can do free writing. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes of unfiltered, unedited writing. This bypasses perfectionism and often produces unexpected insights.And you can change the environment. So if one place isn't working, work at a cafe or park or library. Environmental novelty stimulates new neural connections and fresh perspectives.These practical approaches work because they shift focus from outcomes to process, making writing a habitual action rather than a high stakes performance.Embrace fear and imperfection. The best writing is born of humility. That's from mystery writer and thriller writer Dean Kuntz.Fear is natural and justified. Embrace it as a motivation.Perfectionism kills progress. Done is better than perfect.Writing imperfectly today creates a foundation for better writing.The most prolific writers aren't fearless. They've simply learned to write despite their fears.The power of mindset.Move on and melt the block. Blocks only exist if you let them. Writer's block is a construct we create and maintain.Recognize it as a temporary state, not a permanent condition. As the blue-collar comedians say, get 'er done. Simple forward motion is often the best solution. Action creates its own momentum.An act of faith: Writing requires belief in your ability to figure it out as you go. Trust the process and keep moving forward.Your mindset determines whether obstacles become barriers or stepping stones. Choose to see blocks as temporary challenges rather than immovable obstacles.Motivation is not a gift, it's a choice. Waiting for motivation is like waiting for a bus that may never come. You have to start walking.Here's the motivation equation.Traditional belief: motivation inspires action, which inspires results.The reality: action inspires results, which increases motivation.Motivation is generated by the act of writing itself. The more you write, the more you want to write. Start small, but start today.Your emergency glass, smash it and write.The world needs your story, so get ‘er done.Writer's block is a temporary illusion. It dissolves the moment you decide to move forward despite uncertainty, fear, or imperfection.Your words matter. Break the glass, pick up your pen, and start writing right now.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Divorcing a covert narcissist is not just about paperwork—it's about survival. Today on the Covert Narcissism Podcast, I sit down with Bree Sullivan-Howell, a seasoned family law attorney with over two decades of experience and the author of Crush Your Divorce and Keep Your Faith and Crush Your Comeback.

In this powerful conversation, Bree and I dive deep into: Why narcissists view their spouse and children as possessions—and what happens when you dare to break free. The reality of post-separation abuse and how it shows up in custody battles and court filings. How legal abuse works—and why narcissists weaponize the legal system to keep control. Practical steps for documenting emotional abuse in ways that hold weight in court. The critical importance of building a support team—attorney, therapist, coach, and trusted allies—so you're not fighting this battle alone. How to become a safe haven for your children while navigating accusations of parental alienation. Why it's essential to avoid clinical labels in court and instead focus on facts and behaviors. Bree also shares her faith-based perspective on reclaiming worth, hope, and freedom—reminding us that there is life after narcissism. If you're in the thick of a high-conflict divorce, this episode is a roadmap of both strategy and encouragement. You'll walk away with clarity on what to expect, how to prepare, and the confidence that you are not alone in this fight.

In Session 309, I welcome Dr. Lyndsy Cofield, Director of Client Success at Apollo Behavior, to share her unique journey in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and her groundbreaking work training law enforcement officers on autism awareness. Dr. Cofield's path into ABA began with an undergraduate degree in speech pathology, later becoming an RBT and eventually a BCBA. Today, she oversees intake and marketing at a growing clinic network in Georgia while also dedicating her research to improving police interactions with individuals on the autism spectrum. This episode explores the intersection of ABA careers, autism, and law enforcement training, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that come with bridging these worlds. What You'll Learn in This Episode Entering the ABA Field Dr. Cofield's journey from speech pathology to becoming a BCBA. Her leadership role at Apollo and overseeing client success in a multi-clinic system. Understanding Law Enforcement Culture Why credibility matters when teaching law enforcement officers about autism. Parallels between gaining parents' trust in ABA and gaining officers' trust in training. Police Academy Experiences Dr. Cofield's firsthand experiences at a Citizens Police Academy: ride-alongs, call centers, and unit training. Surprising insights into the hidden volume of crime and emergencies in her community. Autism and Law Enforcement Training Common challenges officers face when interacting with individuals on the spectrum. Misinterpretations—such as stimming being mistaken for drug use—and how they can escalate situations. Practical strategies: slowing down, assessing intent, and waiting for backup when needed. Applying Behavior Analysis to Autism Training How ABA principles help officers understand and support autistic individuals. Tips for officers: allowing response time, keeping safe distances, and recognizing autism traits. The Blue Envelope Project and other community initiatives improving interactions. De-Escalation Training in Action A success story from Salem, NH, where effective autism training helped officers de-escalate high-risk encounters.

Ongoing Autism and Law Enforcement Research Insights from Dr. Cofield's dissertation (available on PubQuest). The need for additional studies and real-world ride-along experiences. Encouragement for ABA professionals to get involved in police training efforts.

So much of our frustration in life doesn't come from a lack of effort, it comes from misdirected effort. We fill our calendars with noise, our minds with distractions, our hearts with what doesn't belong… and then wonder why there's no space left for the things that truly matter.This episode is about the hard truth of change: if you want transformation, you can't just add more, you have to let go. You can't bring in the right things while clinging to the wrong ones.I'll explore:Why subtraction is often more powerful than addition.The hidden cost of holding on to things that no longer serve you.How creating space opens the door for clarity, meaning, and opportunity.Practical steps to start clearing out the unnecessary, mentally, emotionally, and physically.Change isn't just about becoming more, it's about making room for more. And sometimes, the most courageous decision you'll ever make is to let go.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation

Too often, we lead others while unaware of the emotional baggage we carry. In this episode, I share why genuine discipleship must go beneath the surface—into the depths of our emotional world and the generational patterns shaping us. Using the haunting story of Nathan Price from The Poisonwood Bible, I reflect on my own early years of Christian leadership—driven, sincere, but stuck. Like many pastors, I loved Scripture and ministry, yet avoided the inner work required for lasting transformation. In this second mark of an Emotionally Healthy Culture, I unpack how we follow Jesus into beneath-the-surface discipleship—marked by emotional honesty and breaking generational patterns that bind us. You'll hear: How unprocessed pain sabotages leadership Why your family of origin disciples you more than you think Practical questions to begin your own journey inward This isn't just another leadership podcast. It's a call to reclaim the radical discipleship of Jesus—starting from within.

"I envision Horn Lake being the hub of North Mississippi when it comes to animal welfare. I want my animal shelter to be the place that people model their strategies after.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this episode, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Glen Andrews, Director of the Horn Lake Animal Shelter in North Mississippi. With over two decades in animal welfare and experience in virtually every shelter role imaginable—from event coordinator to veterinary assistant to director—Glen brings a unique "Renaissance rescuer" perspective to municipal animal services. His journey from Manhattan's urban animal control to rural Mississippi's challenges offers valuable insights into adapting shelter practices across different regional cultures and community needs. Glen shares how he transformed a small, antiquated municipal shelter into a thriving no-kill facility while simultaneously doubling intake numbers. The conversation covers his innovative approaches to community engagement, including low-cost spay/neuter programs, pet food pantries, youth volunteer corps, and strategic community cat management. Glen discusses the importance of removing the enforcement stigma from municipal shelters and positioning them as community resources that help people keep their pets rather than judging pet owners in crisis. Whether you're working in a large urban shelter or a small rural facility, this episode provides actionable strategies for building community trust, implementing sustainable programs with limited resources, and achieving life-saving outcomes. Glen's emphasis on understanding local demographics, strategic partnerships, and the power of microchipping offers a roadmap for municipal shelters looking to modernize their approach and better serve both animals and the people who care about them.

Do you ever walk out of the wholesaler with way more flowers than you budgeted for? Or find yourself adding “just a few extra stems” because you want your work to look next-level amazing? If so, you're not alone. In this minisode of The Floral CEO Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic that came directly from a recent coaching call inside the Floral CEO Mastermind: overspending.Overspending is one of the most common reasons florists struggle with profitability — and the truth is, it's rarely just about flowers. Sometimes it's about ego, validation, or fear of not being “enough.” In this episode, I'll help you uncover the root causes, set boundaries with your budgets, and create systems that protect your profits without stifling your creativity.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The subconscious reasons behind overspending (fear, ego, self-worth).Why overspending erodes your profitability and leads to burnout.How to shift your mindset from “more is better” to “enough is enough.”Mantras and affirmations you can use in the moment to stop the cycle.Practical strategies, like building a “fun flower budget,” so you can still feel creative without sabotaging your bottom line.Why your budget is actually a boundary that your future self will thank you for.Key Quotes from This Episode:“Your budget is a boundary your future self will thank you for.”“Stop overspending to prove your worth — your art is enough.”“Fulfillment and profitability must go hand in hand, or resentment takes root.”Why This Episode Matters:As florists, it's easy to feel like “just a little extra” won't matter. But overspending adds up quickly — and it's often the difference between a thriving business and one that's just scraping by. By learning to set intentional boundaries with your designs, you'll not only increase your profits but also build a business that feels aligned and sustainable.Resources & Links Mentioned:Floral CEO Mastermind – Join for monthly live coaching, tools, and community.

What If This Was the Last Time? Have you ever stopped to think, What if this was the last time I got to do this? Not the first time. The last time. That thought has been hitting me hard lately—and I believe it's one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make to live a deeper, richer life. Too often, we rush through our days on autopilot—scrolling, working, hustling—without realizing we're living what will one day be our “good old days.” We treat moments with our kids, our friends, and our loved ones like they'll happen forever… until one day, they don't. The last lunch with your grandmother. The last time your child asked you to tuck them in. The last baseball game you ever played. These moments come quietly, without warning, and once they're gone, they're gone forever. In this episode, I walk you through how to catch yourself in the act of being alive. I share personal stories—some beautiful, some heartbreaking—that have taught me the priceless value of truly being present. I'll show you how to recognize the sacred in the ordinary, to pause long enough to take it in, and to live each conversation, each hug, and each sunset like it might be the last one. Because the truth is, you don't always know when you're living the last time. But if you're paying attention, you can live every moment as if it's something beautiful. By the end of our time together, you'll see that the depth of your life isn't found in the big, flashy milestones—it's found in the small, fleeting moments you choose to fully experience. My hope is that this conversation will inspire you to hug longer, listen deeper, laugh louder, and remember that right now is a moment worth keeping forever. Key Takeaways: Why life's most sacred moments often feel ordinary when they're happening How to live with “the richness of the experience” instead of rushing to the next thing The mindset shift that turns everyday moments into treasures Real stories that will make you rethink how you treat time with loved ones Practical ways to start living like this could be the last time—without living in fear Because one day, it will be the last time. And when that day comes, I want you to know in your heart… you didn't miss it. Max out.
