SUMMARY In this conversation, Sensei Christian Wedewardt discusses with Jeremy the evolution of karate, focusing on his journey from competition to practical karate. They explore the influence of mentorship, the importance of kihon, and the role of motivation in martial arts.   Sensei Wedewardt shares his teaching philosophy, the impact of seminars, and the significance of tradition in karate.

TAKEAWAYS Sensei Wedewardt emphasizes the importance of mentorship in martial arts. Kihon should be viewed as a tool for practical application. The transition from competition to practical karate can be transformative. Motivation and success are key components in teaching martial arts.

In this deeply vulnerable and empowering episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and somatic practitioner, Laurie James, to unpack her remarkable journey from decades of nervous system dysregulation to deep, body-based healing.  Laurie's story begins in childhood, where she endured the pain of adoption complexities, sibling abuse, and growing up in a home where she never felt truly safe. These early experiences planted the seeds of hypervigilance, self-worth struggles, and an ongoing search for belonging.  Fast forward to adulthood, Laurie faced multiple betrayals in her marriage—one that shook her to her core when her then-husband violated her deepest boundary by contacting her birth mother against her wishes, and another that emerged as a major financial betrayal impacting their family. Layered with years of caregiving for her aging parents, the stress built silently in her body until it erupted as a severe health crisis.  Laurie shares openly how chronic stress and unresolved trauma manifested physically—gut issues, anxiety, sleep disruption—and how years of talk therapy alone couldn't release what was stored in her body. The turning point came when she discovered somatic experiencing—a therapeutic approach that helps release trauma from the nervous system through gentle body awareness practices.  In our conversation, Laurie explains:  Why trauma lives in the body and can cause chronic dysregulation for decades  The physical symptoms and health issues that can stem from betrayal and unresolved trauma  How somatic experiencing works and why it was the missing piece in her healing  Practical examples of self-regulation tools you can try right now  How to build a personalized nervous system regulation toolkit  The importance of curiosity, presence, and “nourishing” difficult emotions rather than avoiding them  If you've ever wondered why you can't “think” your way out of anxiety, hypervigilance, or betrayal pain—this episode will give you a new perspective and hope. Lourie's story is proof that even after decades of dysregulation, it is possible to find safety, stability, and healing in your own body again.  Resources:  Laurie James: https://www.laurieejames.com  The 5 Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough: https://thepbtinstitute.com/reclaim/  PBT Certification Info: https://thepbtinstitute.com/get-certified  

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Joni Marie Iraci—a registered nurse turned award-winning novelist—about late-life reinvention, earning an MFA in her 60s, and the craft behind her thriller Vatican Daughter. Joni breaks down how life experience fuels better storytelling, why continuing education can restart a creative career, and how rigorous research (including miles of walking Rome) elevates fiction. We also discuss mindset shifts from “victim” to “survivor,” practical marketing realities for authors, and how to keep your brain—and courage—active at any age. This is a direct, no-fluff playbook for midlife career change, creative discipline, and purpose.   About the guest:   Joni Marie Iraci is an author and former registered nurse who returned to college later in life, graduated from Sarah Lawrence, and earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. She writes page-turning, research-rich fiction centered on resilient women, including Vatican Daughter.   Key takeaways: It's not “too late”: returning to school and embracing new work in your 50s–60s can accelerate creative growth. Leverage lived experience—humor, perspective, and resilience—to write more authentic stories. Practical path: continuing-education programs, steady writing practice, and peer feedback (younger peers can also help with tech). Research that breathes: site walks in Rome/Venice and primary-source study make settings feel real. Fact in fiction: historical events (e.g., 19th-century papal kidnappings) can inform compelling plots when handled responsibly. Craft note: give readers “reprieve scenes” (food, place, texture) to balance thriller intensity. Marketing is work: social media, endorsements, and reader outreach are part of an author's job. Mindset shift: write women who survive, not women defined by victimhood. Community matters: mentorship for emerging writers and asking boldly (blurbs, intros) opens doors. Cognitive wellness: keep learning, reading, and creating to sustain a sharp, purposeful mind.   How to connect with Joni   Website/contact form: Joni mentioned listeners can reach her via the contact page on her official author website - https://www.jonimarieiraci.com/  (search “Joni Marie Iraci” to find it).

Together, we explore how the words we speak—and the thoughts we dwell on—can either keep us trapped or propel us toward the fullness of life God has called us to live. If you've been overwhelmed by the negative stories you tell yourself, this episode will give you: ✨ Practical tools to renew your mind and replace lies with truth ✨ A fresh perspective on how to speak life over your circumstances ✨ Encouragement that you can literally rewire your brain with God's Word It's time to stop letting negative narratives hold you back.

When we think of grief, we often think of death. But grief can take many forms, whether it's the end of a relationship, a change in health, or simply realizing life doesn't look the way we hoped. Yet most of us were never taught how to navigate it.Instead, we're left feeling overwhelmed, broken, and pressured to “move on.” The truth is, grief is part of being human. It touches our minds, bodies, and spirits, and it doesn't follow tidy stages or timelines. Without understanding this, we risk judging ourselves and suffering more than we need to.In this episode, master certified life coach Krista St. Germain shares how the sudden loss of her husband transformed her understanding of grief. Together, we explore why grief isn't one-size-fits-all and the practical tools that can help you ride the waves when it feels unbearable.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I break down a simple truth I live by every day. Attitude is the foundation. Enthusiasm is the expression. When I move with purpose even on the mornings I feel stiff, tired, and anything but motivated, my actions create the energy I need. People read my face, my voice, my posture, and they respond to what I carry. If I choose purpose, others feel it and follow it. Introduction I did not wake up inspired. My back hurt. My shoulder was tight. I shuffled to the bathroom like a slow old man. Then I walked into the gym and a guy told me I always move with purpose. That compliment reminded me of the standard I set for myself. I do not wait for motivation. I act first. The energy shows up after. Body Awareness creates advantage I know eyes are on me. Clients, team, family, even strangers at the gym read my body language. They decide how far to push, whether to trust, and if they want to work with me based on what I show. When I smile, stand tall, and speak with conviction, I transmit certainty. Certainty moves deals forward. Action before motivation I never count on feeling ready. I get moving and let the movement warm up my mind. Action builds motivation. Motivation builds inspiration. Then I stack more action. That cycle is how I keep momentum, even when my body hurts or my schedule is heavy. Enthusiasm is a skill Enthusiasm is not fake. It is a decision to express what I believe. Shoulders back. Eye contact. Strong handshake. Clear tonality. Words that lead. I do this with my family so they can believe in me. I do it with clients so they can make confident decisions. If I carry worry, they mirror worry. If I carry certainty, they mirror certainty. Lead the room with your presence At the gym I skip every other stair. At the coffee shop Carla and I visit, we are met with smiles and service because we bring the same energy. People respond to the way you enter a space. Move like you have somewhere to be and something to build. Smile first. It opens doors. Say you are the best and then deliver Big claims force big delivery. When I say I market the best, negotiate the best, and deliver the best, I give my subconscious direct orders. Then I back it up with preparation, presence, and follow through. Clients already believe you are the best when they call you. Do not talk them out of it by being timid, worried, or slow. Protect client experience with your tone Problems happen. Appraisals come in low. Inspections get messy. Your job is not to transfer panic. Your job is to take on the worry and lead with solutions. Calm tone. Clear path. People want to feel they made the right decision when they chose you. Practical cues to switch on enthusiasm Smile before you call. Stand up when you negotiate. Use your hands when you explain. Nod to confirm understanding. Keep your voice steady. Dress with intention. If you feel yourself fading, lean your shoulders forward and let your body pull your mind into motion. Forward momentum beats hesitation. Conclusion Attitude sets your standard. Enthusiasm shows the world your standard. Stop waiting to feel ready. Take the action that moves you. Smile with purpose. Speak with conviction. Walk like you mean it. When you do, people feel safe making decisions around you. That is leadership. That is how you produce. Reader Questions Where in your day do you usually wait for motivation, and what action can you take first to spark it instead Think about your last client meeting. What did your face, tone, and posture communicate before you said a word What bold claim about your service are you willing to make today, and what specific action will you take to back it up Notable Quotes Attitude is the foundation and enthusiasm is the expression. Do not wait for motivation. Take the action and let the action create the energy. Clients already believe you are the best or they would not have called. Do not talk them out of it. Follow A.Z.

Gina Hoots joins Cathy to explore where respiratory therapy meets health coaching, especially for people living with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and more. With over 30 years' experience in both clinical and community settings, Gina shares how she combines science and compassion in her work. We dive into practical breathing techniques, the importance of proper inhaler use, integrating nutrition and lifestyle, and coaching strategies that empower clients beyond traditional medicine. The episode also highlights Gina's work with BluZone.Health, her leadership in respiratory care, and how health coaches and respiratory therapists can collaborate to improve outcomes. Expect both deeply technical takeaways and inspiring mindset shifts. In this episode, you'll discover: How Gina's dual roles as a respiratory therapist and health coach allow her to bridge gaps in patient education, care, and quality of life. Specific breathing practices (nose inhalation, lip‑pursed exhalation, huff coughs, etc.) that help reduce breathlessness, move mucus, and calm anxiety. How to assess if someone is on the “right” inhaler(s) vs. just using rescue inhalers, and what coaches should know about various inhaler classes. Ways health coaches can help clients being proactive in doctor visits—preparing questions, reviewing action plans, and improving collaboration. The role of nutrition, exercise, and reducing environmental/inflammatory exposures in lung health, not just “medication + oxygen.” The gaps in care Gina sees—where patients often don't get enough time, education, or follow‑up—and how health coaches and RTs can fill those gaps. Practical mindset shifts: turning directives into partnership, helping clients find personal “why,” and using breathing as a tool for anxiety and agency. Memorable Quotes: “If you have breathing problems, you're going to get an inhaler. Nobody tests for the breathing like they should.” “Many people think just with breathing problems, oxygen is the answer … But exercise can help that. Breath work … all of that really helps.” “The numbers don't really matter, but just the mindful breathing that you can control your breath.” Bio: Gina Hoots is a nationally recognized respiratory therapist and health coach with over 30 years of clinical and community experience, specializing in chronic lung conditions. As a Health Coach for BluZone.Health, Gina helps individuals live well with COPD, asthma, and other chronic respiratory illnesses through education, behavior change, and lifestyle optimization. She is the co‑creator and co‑host of The Cozy Lung Lounge Podcast, a compassionate, patient‑centered show offering real‑talk and resources for people with chronic lung disease and their caregivers.

Coleton preached on Jesus' triumphal entry and how Jesus seeks to make two central claims: 1. Jesus is the Messianic King — the crowd's actions and the fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) show that Jesus openly claims the kingship. He accepts royal honor (“Hosanna,” cloaks, branches) and—when challenged—refuses to silence the praise, even saying that if the people were quiet “the stones would cry out.”  N. T. Wright: “You don't spread cloaks on the road –especially in the dusty, stony Middle East!–for a friend, or even a respected senior member of your family. You do it for royalty. And you don't cut branches off trees, or foliage from the fields, to wave in the streets just because you feel somewhat elated; you do it because you are welcoming a king.” Jesus claim to be King forces a decision: is Jesus merely a helpful healer/teacher, or is He your sovereign King who rules your life? C. S. Lewis: “A really foolish thing that people often say about Jesus is: ‘I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man yet said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic (like a man who says he is a poached egg)—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” We have to choose to receive or reject Jesus as King. 2. Jesus is not like other kings — unlike Roman triumphs that display conquest, prisoners, and plunder, Jesus rides a colt (a sign of peace and humility) and is followed by people He's healed and freed. His reign looks like liberation, restoration, and sacrificial service, not domination and bondage. David Guzik & Dr. David L. McKenna  “A Roman Triumphal Entry was an honor granted to a Roman general who won a complete and decisive victory and had killed at least 5,000 enemy soldiers. When the general returned to Rome, they had an elaborate parade. As a symbol of bloody conquest, they chose a prancing horse at the head of a processional that included his warriors, a shackled contingent of the conquered people, and an extravagant display of the treasures that the army had taken by force. The procession ended at the arena, where some of the prisoners were thrown to wild animals for the entertainment of the crowd. Now we understand why Jesus is so specific about His entry and the animal He rides. In the symbol of the foal of a donkey, Jesus predicts His role as the King. Jesus makes His triumphal entry on a donkey—a symbol of peace, not war; of humility, not pride. Behind Him comes (not prisoners but), an entourage of disciples and a rabble of common people whom He has healed and set free. They serve as the trophies of His conquest—not won by bloody violence, but by relentless love.” Why it matters: if Jesus is truly your King, He gets to govern all areas of life (money, marriage, speech, media, anger, forgiveness, political loyalties, etc.). That means surrendering personal control and letting his values shape decisions and habits. If you resist that rule you may still experience a Christian language of forgiveness and blessing but not the transforming reality of Jesus' kingdom — a kingdom characterized by love, freedom, reconciliation, generosity, and joy even amid suffering. Coleton closes with a pointed question to wrestle with: Is Jesus your King? and invites people to examine which kingdom's traits actually define their life. ⸻ Practical takeaways     •    The triumphal entry publicly declares Jesus' kingship — it's not optional or merely symbolic.     •    Jesus' kingship is servant and liberating, not coercive or violent.     •    To truly follow him means handing over areas of life where you still rule, and allowing his kingdom fruit (love, peace, patience, generosity, freedom, reconciliation) to grow.     •    Evaluate life by asking: “Whose kingdom am I experiencing here?” If it's not Jesus', return and make Him King. ⸻ Discussion & Small-group / Personal practice questions Use these to help people put the sermon into practice — mix of reflection, confession, and action. 1- Read Mark 11:1–11. What detail(s) jump out at you this time that you hadn't noticed before? Why might those details matter? 2. Coleton says Jesus forces a choice: King or not. What makes accepting Jesus' kingship hard for you personally?  3. Take one area of your life (money, marriage, parenting, social media, anger). Describe which kingdom (Jesus' kingdom or the world's) best describes how you act there. What would one concrete step toward Jesus' rule in that area look like this week? (Give a measurable, time-bound step.) 4. Jesus' kingship carries moral demands (forgiveness, loving enemies, turning the other cheek). Pick one relationship where forgiveness or reconciliation is needed. What is one small, courageous next step you can take to reflect Jesus' reign there? 5. Reflect on the two portraits of kingship (Roman/violent vs. Jesus/humble). Where in your life are you tempted to imitate a worldly kingdom (control, domination, proving self)? How can you choose the way of Christ instead? 6. The sermon notes the kingdom's fruit (love, joy, peace, patience…). Which of those fruits are present in your life now? Which are absent?  7. Coleton said there are places where Jesus is king and places where you still rule. Name one “pocket” of your life where you still want to be sovereign. What would it look like to hand that pocket over to Jesus today? ⸻ Scripture quoted in the sermon Zechariah 9:9–10 (NKJV excerpt used): “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” Psalm 118:25–26 (referred to as source of “Hosanna” / welcoming the Deliverer). Luke 19:38–40 (quoted in part): “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” … Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” … “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Philippians 2:6–8 (paraphrase/quote of Paul): “Who, being in very nature God, did not consider His equality with God as something to be used to his own advantage; rather, He made himself nothing… He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”

Welcome to another episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan shines a light on an area vital to every agency's growth: how to show up for clients and prospects in ways that build genuine trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships. To explore this undervalued but crucial topic, Drew is joined by Jamie Shibley, founder of The Expressory and expert in strategic engagement and relationship-driven agency growth. Jamie shares her fascinating journey from two decades in corporate IT and ecommerce management to launching her own agency, where she helps businesses nurture relationships through intentional and personalized engagement. Through insightful stories and real-life examples, Jamie and Drew examine why clients crave more than just a transactional relationship—they want to feel seen, valued, and heard. Together, they unpack the psychology behind meaningful connections, discussing simple but powerful ways agencies can differentiate themselves by caring more deeply and showing it consistently. Listeners will learn how to communicate care and appreciation, not just during the wooing phase, but throughout the client journey. Jamie reveals the six strategic storylines that should guide your client engagement, offers practical tips for intentional gifting (hint: it's more about thoughtfulness than price or heavy branding), and shares eye-opening data on the tangible impact of consistent relationship nurturing. Drew and Jamie also address common barriers, like lack of time or uncertainty about what to say, and provide actionable strategies to overcome them.   If you're looking to solidify your client retention, inspire advocacy, and create memorable experiences that set your agency apart, this episode is a must-listen. Discover how small, intentional acts can have outsized effects on your business—and why now, more than ever, demonstrating care can be your most powerful growth lever.   A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Leave work on time•David's story: a skilled, compassionate paramedic who deeply connected with patients, especially during psychiatric crises.oStruggled to separate work from life.oRelied on alcohol as a coping mechanism, which ultimately cost him his life.•Core lesson: In emergency medicine, you must leave work at work—emotionally and physically—otherwise burnout and unhealthy coping are inevitable.•Healthy separation:oBalance connection with patients while avoiding over-identification.oRemember: “It is not your emergency.”•Practical strategies to get off on time:oCheck labs/imaging in real time.oComplete charting as you go.oPlan handoffs 1–2 hours before end of shift.oControl what's controllable—systems, shift crossover, advocate for better staffing.•Mental discipline:oSet down burdens from tragic or unjust cases (e.g., drunk drivers, preventable deaths).oFind something greater than yourself (faith, higher power, or another anchor) to release what you can't control.•Work–life balance:oCreate a clear line between work and home (physical transition, dedicated space, or ritual).oAccept that some seasons demand more grind, but don't let it become a lifestyle.oYour family will notice the time you miss more than your employer ever will.•Identity check:oYou are not your job title; resilience and character matter more.oOver-identifying with work justifies staying late and sacrificing home life.•Universal takeaway: No matter the field, burdens from work will bleed into family life unless you intentionally lay them down. Getting off on time = preserving resilience, family, and long-term health.Chapter 3: Take Care of Yourself Before You Take Care of Others•Past struggles:oPrioritized school and work over health.oPoor sleep, binge eating, energy drinks, inconsistent workouts.oLack of discipline → foggy brain, poor performance as a paramedic.•Core principle:oYou cannot care for others well if you neglect yourself.oIn EMS/ED, emergencies are unpredictable, but most patients are not crashing—there's time to hydrate, eat, and reset.•Practical applications:oDrink water, eat proper nutrition, and rest before/during shifts.oPrioritize morning routines (hydration, exercise, food) → sets the tone for the day.oMeal prep to avoid cafeteria junk food and impulsive choices.oCreate habits that are accessible (water bottles, packed meals).•Mindset shift:oCaring for yourself Support the showEverything you hear today from myself and my guests is opinion only and doesn't represent any organizations or companies that any of us are affiliated with.
