“Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth. Foolish children bring grief to their father and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.”- Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We know loads of you will identify as perfectionists - it's one of the most common things our clients tell us about themselves, usually with a mix of pride and frustration. Most perfectionists know they probably need to ease up a bit, but knowing you should dial it back and actually feeling ready to let go are completely different things. The reality is that perfectionism has got you where you are, so the thought of lowering your standards feels risky.

“A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 We live in the most connected generation in history, yet so many people feel deeply alone. Loneliness has become a modern pandemic, and even within the Church, many silently carry the ache of isolation. In this message, Pastor Louis explores the difference between loneliness and hiddenness – how one can drain us, while the other can develop us. And he looks at the value of friendship, which Jesus Himself modelled for us. Jesus didn't just call disciples – He called friends, sharing life, prayer, meals, and mission with them. Let's talk about:

Just two years ago, the launch of GPT-4 required the support of hundreds of experts, intensive computing power, and vast coordination. Today, that same process could be executed by a team of five. That is not an exaggeration. It is a signal of just how rapidly AI development is accelerating. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Gagan Tandon, Managing Director of AI & Data Services at TELUS Digital Solutions, to explore what is behind this extraordinary shift. From the evolution of AI chip design to the efficiency gains from smarter algorithms and open-source tools, Gagan offers a clear and grounded look at how AI training has become more accessible and less resource-intensive. But the bigger question is, what can we do with that efficiency? For Gagan, the answer lies in impact. Whether it is addressing bottlenecks in global supply chains, enhancing diagnostics in healthcare, or reducing fraud in financial services, these advances in AI development are not just theoretical. They are opening new doors for innovation across industries. We also explored how TELUS Digital Solutions supports enterprise transformation through its Fuel iX platform, which helps organisations transition from GenAI pilots to scalable, secure, ethical, and practical production systems. Gagan shared examples of how large-scale transformation can be approached with agility, especially when AI is aligned to specific business outcomes rather than simply layered on top of existing systems. This conversation goes far beyond model training. It is about what's next in AI operationalization, what business leaders should prioritize when it comes to adoption, and how to avoid common pitfalls as technology continues to evolve faster than many are prepared for. So how did we go from 300 engineers to five? What should enterprises be doing right now to take advantage of this momentum? And how can we make sure that efficiency does not come at the cost of responsibility? Join us as we explore the answers.

In this episode, I bring you something that's been on my heart to recreate for years. Inspired by the spontaneous, powerful moments I used to have during the Clubhouse era, I've launched a new live format called "How May I Serve You Today? Ask Me Anything." The idea is simple: I open a Zoom room, stream it live on Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and invite people to jump in for real-time, unscripted conversations. Just like the Clubhouse rooms I used to host, my intention is to hold space for deep coaching, authentic dialogue, and transformational moments in full view of a live audience. This is what I love most about coaching: witnessing the miraculous in everyday moments. Now, I get to bring that to you in podcast form. This episode features four unique conversations, each with its own flavor and insight: Conversation 1 – Ramon: Distraction as Enlightenment | Time Stamp 00:11:30 Ramon Ray, motivational keynote speaker and event host asked how to stay focused when a flurry of possibilities tugs at his attention. Together we: Clarified his personal definition of distraction as “not being focused on a single task for a meaningful amount of time.” Explored how repeated distractions can signal mis-alignment, tasks that belong in someone else's zone of excellence, not his own zone of genius. Reframed procrastination as feedback rather than failure, helping Ramon see that some tasks may simply need to be delegated or dropped. Listen for: A practical mindset shift that turns every interruption into a cue for deeper self-inquiry and better task design. Conversation 2 – Curtis: Re-awakening the Power to Dream | Time Stamp 00:37:18 Long-time listener Curtis joined to envision life after retirement. He struggled at first, so I invited him to “play make-believe.” Once he let his imagination lead, an inspiring vision unfolded: Curtis is guiding a bus tour across Europe, Abbey Road photos in London, the Isle of Wight Festival, Disneyland Paris, Normandy beaches, and more. The exercise linked childhood memories of GI Joe adventures to present-day possibilities, proving his imaginative muscles are still strong. Listen for: A repeatable prompt you can use to help clients (or yourself) move past “I don't know” and paint a vivid future. Conversation 3 – DeLyn: Launching a Grief Podcast without Perfection Paralysis | Time Stamp 01:12:21 DeLyn, an educator and grief advocate, has several episodes recorded but hasn't published due to fear and tech concerns. Together we: Identified her top blockers—perfectionism, intro/outro music, editing, and a self-imposed August 30 National Grief Awareness Day deadline. Reframed “perfect” to mean “the best I can with what I have right now,” reducing her fear score from a nine to about a three. Offered simple launch logistics (Buzzsprout hosting, minimalist artwork, optional music) and reminded her that an unpolished but heartfelt episode serves more people than silence. Listen for: Practical tips for shipping creative work even when your inner critic demands studio-level production. Conversation 4 – Mark: Releasing a Lifelong Fear of Judgment | Time Stamp 01:47:04 Mark arrived carrying a visceral fear of sending invoices to clients, a pattern that traces back to ridicule on his first day of kindergarten. Our dialogue centered on: Using The Four Agreements, especially “Don't take anything personally” and “Don't make assumptions” as daily practice. Viewing critics and trolls as mirrors that reveal hidden internal triggers, turning them into unexpected allies. Recognizing the physical release of fear (a “lightness in the chest” and tears) as evidence that old stories are dissolving. Listen for: A real-time demonstration of how a single mindset tool can lift decades-old emotional weight.

Are we making life too easy for our kids? In a world where we rush to remove every obstacle from our children’s paths, we may be unintentionally robbing them of the very thing they need most—resilience. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Justin Coulson is joined by Tim Curtis—former SAS Commander, humanitarian, and author of Building Resilient Kids. From war zones to raising teens, Tim’s lived experience offers extraordinary insights into how resilience is truly built. Together, they unpack why a little stress is good, why failure matters, and the foundational layers that make kids bounce back stronger. This is the resilience masterclass every parent needs. KEY POINTS: Resilience isn’t fixed; it can be built. The Resilience Shield Model: Six layers—Innate, Mind, Body, Social, Professional, and Adaptation. Stress is essential—but it needs to be the right amount. Overprotective parenting harms resilience—kids need to struggle to grow. The power of strong family connections as the cornerstone of resilience. Practical stories from war zones, camps, and families that highlight resilience in action. How parents can role model resilience every day (including how we handle bad drivers and broken sinks!). Why rest and recovery are crucial parts of resilience—not signs of failure. The difference between resilience, willpower, and grit. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Resilience varies by degree, not by kind. The stress in your child’s life is real to them—and they need it to grow.” – Tim Curtis RESOURCES MENTIONED: Book: Building Resilient Kids by Tim Curtis (out July 1) Podcast: The Unforgiving Sixty Podcast: Building Resilient Kids (Tim’s companion podcast to the book) Resilience Shield Model – Research-backed framework Jill Bolte Taylor on emotions passing in 90 seconds Research by Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset) and Angela Duckworth (Grit) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Model resilience. Let your kids see you handle stress, setbacks, and failure with grace and recovery. Let them fail—safely. Small failures help kids build the coping mechanisms they’ll need later in life. Prioritise the basics: Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social connection—these are resilience superpowers. Let them sit with discomfort. Don’t rush to fix every negative emotion. Let them learn that emotions pass. Talk about effort, not outcomes. Celebrate trying, learning, and persisting more than trophies or grades. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Today I'm talking about why letting yourself make mistakes - like running out of everyday items or doing things imperfectly - can actually help if you're struggling with hoarding. From challenging perfectionism to rethinking the fear of scarcity, I'll share how embracing messiness can move us forward. Plus, I'll offer practical ideas for easing those fears and making progress, one small, imperfect step at a time. Announcement of new dates for Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Sessions. Aimed at connecting people who hoard for conversation and simultaneous decluttering. Details on how to get tickets and availability through several upcoming months. The Value of Making Mistakes Challenging the idea of perfection and fear of making mistakes. Proposing the benefits of allowing oneself to: Make more mistakes. Run out of things occasionally. Do things imperfectly or “half-arsed.” Identifying how fear of mistakes and perfectionism can keep people stuck in hoarding behaviours. Perfectionism and Fear of Scarcity Perfectionism: Fear of making the “wrong” decision leads to inaction or keeping everything. Uncertainty about the future and anxiety about discarding items. All-or-nothing thinking: If it can't be done perfectly, it's not worth starting. Personal reflection on the struggle with perfectionist tendencies. Fear of Scarcity: “Keep it just in case” mentality. Stemming from past experiences of poverty or deprivation. How personal history and upbringing foster scarcity-based behaviours. Recognition that such fears can be irrational and still hold significant power. How this fear leads to over-acquisition and reluctance to discard. Addressing Perfectionism and Scarcity (Mindset Shifts) Techniques to gently challenge perfectionism and scarcity fears. Reframing mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures. Allowing for experimentation as a method of progress. Embracing Mistakes as a Path Forward Learning from mistakes as a source of growth and behaviour change. Normalising occasional regrets over discarding or not acquiring something. Comparing the cost of keeping everything versus the occasional “mistake.” Observing emotional responses to mistakes as a way to learn and build decision-making confidence. Encouragement to start with low-risk decisions and build up “dehoarding muscle” gradually. Allowing Things to be Done Imperfectly Encouragement to “do things badly” rather than waiting for perfect execution. “Done is better than perfect” as a motivating principle. The danger of all-or-nothing thinking leading to perpetual inaction. Practical examples of doing small tasks imperfectly: Tackling a small part of a larger problem (e.g., half a shelf). Donating a partial bag of items. Taking any step forward, even imperfect ones, counts as progress. Allowing Yourself to Run Out of Things Creative and resourceful solutions arise when supplies run low. Examples from daily life (cooking, art journalling) where scarcity breeds creativity. Differentiates between essential items and those where running out is an acceptable risk. Suggestions for consciously assessing what's truly necessary to keep in stock. Experimental Mindset: Treating Dehoarding as Data Collection Each decision - successful or not - provides valuable data for future choices. Building confidence and capability for bigger, more challenging decluttering decisions over time. Summary and Reinforcement of Key Points Allow for imperfection, mistakes, and occasional scarcity. Importance of starting with manageable steps and celebrating imperfect progress. “Done is better than perfect”—taking action, however small, is crucial.

With transparency and conviction, Garrett challenges the hustle culture mindset and invites Christian real estate professionals to redefine success according to eternal values—not industry pressure. In this powerful solo episode of The Faithful Agent, host Garrett Maroon unpacks the heart behind his upcoming book, The Balance Breakthrough: Winning at Work Without Losing at Life. You'll hear stories from Garrett's own life, the concept of “the dash” (the time between your birth and death), and practical insights to help you build a business that honors your faith, your family, and your future.

Let's be real. A lot of us have been out here trying to follow someone else's version of success. Copying the routines. Following the “rules.” Pushing ourselves to work in ways that don't even feel natural. But if your business still feels off, it might not be about doing more. It might be about working differently. Working in a way that actually supports how you move. In this solo episode, Monique is getting into the step that too many early-stage entrepreneurs skip: learning how you personally work best. This isn't about another hustle routine or productivity hack. It's about tuning into your rhythm, your energy, and your capacity and building a business that actually fits your life. Especially as Black entrepreneurs, we've been told to push through, power up, and work twice as hard. But we don't often hear that it's okay to pause, reflect, and choose a way of working that protects your peace. That's what this conversation is about. If you've been checking all the boxes but still feel drained or stuck, this is your reminder that success doesn't have to come at the expense of your well-being. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: Why many Black entrepreneurs feel stuck mimicking productivity instead of finding flow How to identify your natural work rhythm and align your schedule around it The difference between being productive vs. performing productivity for validation Practical ways to create systems that match your energy instead of drain it How to build flexibility into your routine so it supports you through changing seasons   Thank you so much for listening!

Do patients and their healthcare teams view the impact of indolent systemic mastocytosis on quality of life in the same way? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from a May 4, 2025, descriptive study from The Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology, “Patient and Advanced Practitioner Perspectives on Symptom Burden and Symptom Management in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis.” Is there a disconnect between what patients feel and what providers think when it comes to indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM)? A new study suggests yes, revealing a mismatch between how patients and advanced practitioners (APs) perceive disease control and what that means for care. This episode dives into whether research like this could help bridge the gap between patient experience and clinical perspective. What we cover in our episode about the indolent systemic mastocytosis: Understanding ISM: What makes indolent systemic mastocytosis a unique multisystem condition? Symptom burden explained: Frequency, severity, duration, distress, and functional interference. Patient vs practitioner views: Understanding the most impactful symptoms differs from patient to AP.  Practical tools: The Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis-Symptom Assessment Form (ISM-SAF) is a validated instrument that can be used to determine symptoms and severity. Barriers and solutions: Why tracking symptoms is hard and how clinics can improve coordination. AP-focused Toolkit: Resources to help nurse practitioners, PAs, and pharmacists provide patient-centered ISM care.

In this episode of "Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott," Landon addresses controversial topics surrounding gender, sexuality, and the stance of Christianity. He discusses the influence of societal changes on traditional Christian beliefs, emphasizes the importance of aligning theology with scripture rather than empathy, and critiques the rise of what he calls 'progressive Christianity.' Landon argues that aligning with God's word means recognizing only two genders and opposing any form of sexual sin outside biblical marriage. He identifies three critical mistakes the church makes about homosexuality: making it the greatest sin, not addressing it, and affirming it. Practical advice for spiritual growth and battling temptations is also provided, along with a call to prioritize biblical teachings over cultural influences.
