In this episode of Perpetual mOetion, Dr. mOe Anderson welcomes Dr. Melanie Gray, PhD-prepared nurse educator, trauma-informed leadership strategist, and confidence coach for professionals to discuss the critical importance of setting boundaries and reclaiming personal energy. Dr. Gray shares her journey from nursing to coaching, highlighting how the pandemic exacerbated issues of burnout and stress among high-achieving individuals. She emphasizes that many people underestimate the long-term effects of stress and the necessity of self-care, particularly for women who often feel pressured to say 'yes' to everything. The conversation delves into the societal expectations placed on women, the fear of rejection associated with saying 'no', and the importance of prioritizing one's own needs to avoid burnout. Dr. Gray introduces her framework, "STOP", which encourages listeners to scan their bodies for signs of stress, tell themselves the truth about their situation, prioritize self-care, and be willing to transform their lives. The discussion also touches on the impact of hormonal changes during menopause and how they can complicate feelings of exhaustion. Ultimately, Dr. Gray urges listeners to recognize their value and treat themselves as the gifts they are, advocating for a shift in mindset that allows for healthier boundaries and a more balanced life. Takeaways 1. Burnout is a choice; it's about behaviors. 2. You are as loved as the last time you said yes. 3. You must prioritize yourself on your calendar. 4. You can start saying no in small ways. 5. Experience is the best teacher, but it doesn't have to be your own. Boundaries and Burnout: A Conversation with Dr. Melanie Gray Sound bites "We do because we are afraid of rejection." "It's not about the title, it's how you manage."

How Can Christians Turn Groans into Growth By Responding to Ecological Grief?   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang talks with Dr. Jonathan Moo, a decorated professor of both the New Testament and Environmental Studies, about why Christian creation care belongs at the center of discipleship. Drawing from Romans 8, Colossians 1, and Genesis 1–2, Moo connects biblical hope for new creation with practical action on climate change, stewardship, and loving our neighbors by caring for the places they depend on and enjoy. The conversation explores how faith and science can work together, why "dominion" looks like Christ-shaped service, and how small, local projects—from Uganda to Texas—offer tangible models of environmental renewal. Dr. Moo offers us a bigger vision of human flourishing, plus concrete next steps for Christians and churches to live joyfully and faithfully in God's world.   05:04 - How Do Jonathan Moo's Academic and Faith and Love for Creation Intersect? 07:51 - Romans 8 and Lament for Creation 17:38 - Salvation, Resurrection, and the Earth 22:08 - Practical Examples of Creation Care 27:01 - Motivating People To Move From Enjoying Nature To Actively Caring For It 31:24 - How Do We Address Interpretations of "Dominion"? 36:32 - Jesus as Model for Dominion 39:34 - Understanding Barriers Between Evangelicals and Science  47:16 - Engaging with Skeptics and Loved Ones 53:25 - Advice for Skeptics  55:11 - Practical Steps for the Environmentally Concerned   Episode Companion: Christians and Climate Change Guide 2   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Learn more about George Fox Talks     Mentioned In This Episode: Tools, Websites, and Organizations A Rocha USA Bull Creek Restoration Project Climate Stewards USA   Books and Authors Learn more about Aldo Leopold Learn more about Alister McGrath Learn more about Evelyn Waugh Learn more about Wendell Berry Debra Rienstra's Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth   Biblical Passages Colossians 1:15-20 (ESV) Romans 8 (ESV) Genesis 1 and 2 (ESV) Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)   Concepts and Ideas Carbon Calculator (use for offsets) Bio Sand Filters No Till Agriculture Mulching and Crop Rotation   More From Dr. Jonathan Moo: Jonathan & Douglas Moo's Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World (Biblical Theology for Life) More about Dr. Moo: Whitworth professor acts as a wilderness guide A reminder of Dr. Moo's A.W.A.K.E. acronym   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

I break down why self-worth isn't a motivation problem and why trying to “think” your way into confidence rarely works. I explain how your identity is built from predictable behavioral patterns and how your nervous system resists change that feels unfamiliar or threatening. We dive into the biology behind self-worth, including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, and how they shape drive, discipline, and resilience. Finally, I lay out practical steps you can use to rebuild self-worth through action, repetition, and new patterns.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Why Self-Worth Isn't a Motivation Problem01:07 - Identity as Predictable Patterns02:37 - The Rider and the Elephant03:56 - Why the Brain Rejects Change05:16 - Self-Worth as a Felt Experience06:59 - Dopamine and Direction07:12 - Serotonin and Self-Control08:21 - Norepinephrine and Resilience09:28 - Why Change Feels Like Death11:07 - Practical Steps to Rebuild Self-Worth14:56 - Self-Worth Is Built Through Action***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

It can age your brain, and it can take years to recover from. Lesley Logan 0:17  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:56  All right, Be It babe. Hello. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast, we are completing, well at least for now, our series on burnout. Super excited about these little mini series that we're doing. We did habits. We've done self-love. We've got this one, and I really hope you're liking it. And if you are wanting more of these, then let us know, because we want this podcast to be something you want to listen to. And if you have any topics you want us to cover, then let us know. Or if you have any guests, you can send those in. And also, if you have questions after listening to these questions, or aha moments or wins, send that into beitpod.com/questions we will answer your questions on our Thursday episodes for recaps on or when we have interviews, and we will share your wins on the FYFs. And I think it's really important, like, if you have a win, you're like, oh my gosh, I was able to catch myself in some non self-love or bad habit, bad in air quotes, it's not really, there's no such thing as bad habit, habits, things like that. We want to celebrate that with you, because one, it will feel good, but also inspires others. Lesley Logan 1:53  So the first episode on this series was actually like, what does burnout look like? Why is it happening? This episode is on prevention, right? And I think that that that is where we can take some action, and we can really apply our Be It Till We See It style to this, right? So let me pull up my handy dandy notes on this, because it's really exciting. So there are some really great resources out there on preventing burnout, and I was able to find some from different scientists and doctors and people have been really researching this, because, as we know from the last episode, burnout can actually take years off of your life, it can age your brain, and it can take years to recover from. So we know that burnout is essentially losing your muchness from the Mad Hatter quote that I talked about in the last episode, you've lost your muchness. You used to be much, muchier. But truly burnout is you can get burnout from any chronic stress situation, so you know, and this is hard because we don't always get to control the things that are going on in our life. So of the first few things that I'm going to say, I'm just going to tell you right now, like practice mindfulness and micro breaks. So okay, there you can actually study mindfulness, and that is really cool. UCLA has a degree, or not a degree, but a certificate in mindfulness. And it's not easy to do, right? But there are different ways that you can practice mindfulness. One of the things that we did was we froze a grape, and then we practice like putting the frozen grape in our mouth, and like focusing on how that grape felt in our mouth, how like it tasted, what it felt like. We didn't chew it, right? We just, like, kind of focused on it. That's really helpful if you have a hard time meditating. Also, we did mindfulness walks. We like walk. You pay attention to right foot, left foot, right, just like really doing it. But micro breaks and mindfulness practices are going to be really huge for you, especially if you are, if what's going on is out of control, you can't change the situation you're in. We had a client whose parents were in the hospital, and it wasn't looking good. It was like they might never relieve and this client, after a few days of just like, dealing with all that, she realized, like she needed to do her Pilates Mat every day, and just doing that gave her a sense of prioritizing herself, but also purpose, and then just a mindfulness, just like, just like 20 minutes to focus on what she's doing and herself, you know, before she went into this situation that she can't control.Lesley Logan 4:08  All right, this is going to sound obvious, but also we need to talk about it, because I do meet a lot of people who struggle with this. So if you struggle with this, you are not alone, boundaries, you have to set them to protect your energy. The most resilient leaders set clear limits on their time, carve out sacred personal times, whether for the gym, family dinners or unplugged weekends, and communicate these boundaries firmly. Studies show that working reasonable hours and taking breaks boost productivity and creativity while always being on diminishes them. So if you are always on all the time, and you let people come ask for things for work all the time, it actually diminishes your creativity and your productivity. You're not getting as much stuff done as you think, or doing it well. And this is really hard because people get nervous about setting boundaries, they think they're gonna piss people off. You might. You know, I definitely think that there are people, and especially my professional world, where they don't love the boundaries that I set, where I'm like, I won't do those things for you, but I'll do these things for you. And the reality is, there's kind ways to say it. Sometimes you have to just be firm and just say it. Sometimes it's actually just easier to say, like, this is the boundary. This is what I will do for you. But one, they're kind we actually have a really great episode with Tanya Dalton about boundaries. So if you haven't listed that one, I would. It's so, so important, and it's not going to be easy, especially if you're not used to it, and people who love you might get frustrated about the boundaries you're setting, because you are changing the way that they engage with you. You're changing their habits outside of their control, but that isn't your responsibility, especially if you're trying to prevent burnout, because you're no good to anyone, unmotivated, having anxiety, tired, chronic fatigue, like these are things that can actually cause more issues in your life than it just you going, I don't answer the calls after five o'clock, sorry, right? And actually not even sorry, I don't answer call my phone after 5pm unless it's in a family emergency. Like, that's it. So the other thing, and this is why I was, like, we have to do a burnout separate from a self-love, because they are different things, but they go together. You have to prioritize self-compassion and support. So remember, in the self-love we talk about how, like, you have to be nice to yourself. That's part of self-love. You got to practice that that act in itself will not only love you, but it will also help prevent burnout. So huge, like even double the reasons to do it right. So high-achieving women often hold themselves to impossible standards, and I would actually edit that to overachieving women. I think high-achieving women can have kindness towards themselves, you know, so practicing self-compassion, speaking to yourself as you would a close friend, reduces guilt and shame, very important, and it builds resilience. Seeking support is equally crucial, and you might need to lean on mentors, peers and loved ones. Asking for help is actually strategic strength and not weakness. And so there's a ton of research on how recognizing the need for self-care is actually the first step in restoring the balance in your life. And so just right now, if you're listening to this and you're like recognizing, I need to care for myself more. I need to have more self-compassion, your body is going to react to that in a way that is going to help the first step in balance and rebalancing what's going on in your life. And so I think that that is key key I think it'll be harder if you're not used to having self-compassion in yourself it might be harder than boundaries and mindfulness. I'm going to be honest, but it's important. So establishing healthy boundaries that includes prioritizing your self-care, that means regular exercise. So like, what is a healthy boundary and where do you need to put them in? So I think you know, most boundaries are probably healthy, but looking at making sure that you have quality sleep. So you might actually want to start with, like, when do you go to bed? When do you wake up? What does that mean for the people in your life, if you're gonna go to bed earlier, do they need to do stuff in their life earlier? Do they need to help you out sooner? And I highly recommend with these things, I'm about to suggest you don't try all of them the same week. My loves. You want to use the anyone these that that kind of perks, like piques your fancy, perks you up. I want you to run through the habits series, because it's gonna help you. So if you want quality sleep, you'll go through the habit series on like all the different things that you think you can do to get quality sleep, and then start habits around that before you would dive into regular exercise, if that's not something that's easy for you, or going to therapy social connections, like nurturing your social connections and spending time with friends that can help, but you have to also have to have, you know, boundaries around that, and it might mean that you need new social connections. So that may be something you're like worth reviewing. Are the social connections in your life adding to your burnout or preventing it? Lesley Logan 8:32  Reading, journaling, other hobbies. So I actually think a lot of people are missing out on a great hobby. I think a lot of, especially a lot of women I meet, their hobbies become jobs. I've been very public about how, like, I have a new hobby. I'm really loving what I'm doing. I'm studying tarot. And every time I tell people in my life I'm studying tarot, oh, my God, would you do a reading for me? No, the answer is no. One, that's boundary. Two, I want to keep it a hobby. Maybe at this at some point I would, I would do readings for friends, just for the fun of it. But right now, where I'm at with my hobby is not sharing with other people, and that's okay. You know? What's also really great you guys for prioritizing your self-care and having some healthy boundaries, you could actually take a relaxing bath, pamper yourself, right? These are not rewards. These are not rewards. These are just things that you do regularly for you to prioritize your self-care. So prioritizing your self-care can also look like laughter, entertainment, the way you fuel yourself, the food you eat, all of that is prioritizing. So if you're like, I'm too busy, oh my gosh, you have to eat every day. Can we just make sure that the foods that you eat are actually nourishing you? Can we do that? The other parts of preventing burnout are going to be seeking social support and doing some sort of mindfulness practice. We talked about that. I'm going to give you a few tips on the mindfulness practice and then cultivating a positive work environment, that is hard, can be hard to do if you don't control that. Regular exercise is also important for preventing burnout, and then getting therapy or their doctors involved is going to be helpful. But let's dive into mindfulness practice because, like I said, UCLA does have a certificate in this. But what are some other ideas, if you're like, I don't want to, like, focus on a grape, or practicing how I walk, deep-breathing, just sitting here and going inhale, right and then exhaling and just focusing on your breath. Maybe you only do it for five breaths. That's totally fine. There's mindfulness meditation apps, right? Like, there's like, all these different apps you can get on. There's a podcast about mindfulness meditation, and she releases a new meditation every single week. You can replay this, the one that you love. Guided imagery that is like, where you can kind of find a meditation or a guide who can help you picture what you want your world to look like, so you can make adjustments and being it until you see it. Mindful walking, we talked about that, mindful eating, that's also great, mindful journaling. Write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal. Focus on the present moment. This practice can provide clarity, insight and healthy outlet for emotions. We had David Corbin, and he, his one of his Be It Action Items was ask right the question at the top of a piece of paper, and then close your eyes and then write down what comes to your mind. You'll be like writing all over the page, but that active journaling can be really mindful, and if you are going to use mindfulness, some of them can be more expensive than you want them to be. So like I said, there, there are podcasts out there on different music apps you're already paying for. There's probably some sort of mindful meditations you can be listening to. So take a look at that. I know that my fitness apps that I have also have mindful meditations on them. So try not to double up on things, because that could just be overwhelming and cause, cause, add to your burnout, right, that you're having. Lesley Logan 11:28  So if your burnout is looking deeper into, presenting itself as deeper into anxiety or depression, I definitely would go to the helpline for the ADAA, which is the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. You can also check out the help line of Be The Difference. You know, it's part of reading burnout is asking for help. There's nothing wrong that. And if you need the people in your life, you're like, I can't go to them. That's okay. You know, sometimes the people in our life are also experiencing these things, so we don't want to add one more thing to their plate, or they are, they can't be the help that we need, you know, and that that sometimes what we need is professional and so I hope that that this helps give you permission to seek professional help if you need it. And I know it's difficult, oh my gosh, I have a I have to call my insurance company myself to, like, call this one place and see if my insurance covers it. And then I then I get to call the place, and then I get to have the appointment. Like, I get that. So get that, which is why, if that is one of the things you have to do in a day, do that and know that that's part of the self-care that you're trying to do for yourself, and that's part of prioritizing yourself. And then while you wait, try on one of these things that prioritizes yourself or sets boundaries, or helps with mindfulness, so that you can be little by little, doing something. You know, a lot of the people I coach, they're like, I want to do this, this, this and this. Try one thing. Go back to that habit series, one tiny, tiny habit, so that you can actually make a dent in what it is that you're wanting to do and get there, you know, be it till you see no one gets there overnight. We all the joke is, Rome wasn't built in a day. It really wasn't, you know, but then we expect ourselves. So I should be better tomorrow, because now I know I have burnout. I prioritized myself today, so I shouldn't be burnt out tomorrow. If you are already there, it's going to take some time to take some time to unravel what's going on, right? But you can do it, and you owe it to the future you to do it. You owe it to the people that you love to do it, right? The people you want to love or you don't even have in your life yet. So I hope these tools help. I hope this gives you some ideas. You know, ask the people on Instagram, like, what are your prevention tools for burnout? And what I got was a lot of people struggling with burnout. So I know that this is an important topic. It's difficult to like, but I have to get up tomorrow like, I can't cancel, the Pilates teachers that I coach like, I can't cancel the day tomorrow, you can't but if we if you get so burnt out that you're sick now we got weeks, right? So not saying cancel the clients, but I am saying maybe, maybe this exam client has to find a different time or a different teacher, because you can't do it anymore. Maybe that's where we have to start. If that, if you can't afford to do that yet, then okay, journaling is free. Deep breaths are free. Playing music that helps your brain feel really calm and good. It's, you know, probably not free because you have to get a license, but it's not, it's nominal, right? Lesley Logan 14:27  So just know that every time you're doing something for you that makes you feel good, it is a step in the prevention of burnout, and you are worth it. Burnout is not like burned out. It's like this, like this, like little flippant thing. No, it's a serious thing, a serious thing that has serious consequences and affects people, not just you, in the world, in your life, in a way that isn't helpful. And so I know how much you love what you do, and how much you love the people that are in your life. I want you to love yourself enough take care of you so that you can do all. The things that you want with the people you love, and so you can be it till you see it. So share this with the friend who needs to hear it.

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, I talk with author and speaker Kim Crabill about her personal journey through an eating disorder, her hidden suffering, how it affected her identity and relationships, and what ultimately led her to freedom in Christ. Kim's stories are rooted in Scripture and rich with compassion as she invites you to lay down your burdens and come to Jesus, just as you are. We'll discuss: Why eating disorders are so prevalent, even among Christian women How comparison and performance quietly erode our sense of worth What it looks like to live fearlessly in a fear-filled world Eating disorders thrive in secrecy, comparison, and shame—but healing begins in truth, rest, and grace. It's time to not only believe in the words of God, but to believe Him and take Jesus at His word. Our prayer is that you'll receive the rescue of Christ and be empowered by His love and grace on your journey forward. Let's break it down: 00:46 Kim's Personal Journey with Eating Disorders 02:27 Understanding Eating Disorders and Their Impact 05:57 Recognizing the Signs and Offering Support 07:12 Finding Hope and Identity in Faith 15:06 Kim's Breakthrough and Managing Triggers 17:53 Understanding and Overcoming Addictions 23:21 Practical Steps for Spiritual Growth Click here for the full blog post with more resources. “I really enjoyed this episode”

Kim shares her personal journey from building and selling a successful insurance agency to answering a calling to teach Grateful Living as a daily practice. Together, Amy and Kim unpack the science and spirituality behind gratitude, why only a small percentage of people consciously choose it, and how shifting from reaction to response can radically change your life, business, and sense of purpose.

How should Christians steward money in the end times without fear, greed, or confusion?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with author and Bible teacher Steve Wohlberg to talk about biblical money stewardship and why financial wisdom matters now more than ever. Many believers struggle with the tension between preparing for the future and trusting God fully—especially when Scripture reminds us that Jesus is coming soon.We unpack how financial stress impacts mental health, physical well-being, and even relationships, and why ignoring money doesn't make us more spiritual. Steve shares why the Bible calls us to both be ready and occupy until Christ returns, and how wise financial decisions can actually bring greater peace, clarity, and freedom to serve others.If you've ever felt uneasy talking about money in church, overwhelmed by finances, or unsure how to plan while keeping your faith first, this conversation will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement you can actually use.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:25] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:05] Steve's Wake-Up Call About Retirement & Stewardship[09:39] The Interconnection of Health and Finances[12:27] Giving vs. Earning: Why Both Matter Biblically[14:12] How Steve Manages and Learn About Finance[16:40] Two Pillars of Truth[18:05] The Love of Money vs. Wise Stewardship[21:22] End-Times Economics: Buying, Selling & Control[23:10] Why Financial Peace Improves Longevity[25:16] Practical Steps for Financial Health[27:20] Investing Wisely for the Future[30:17] Building Wealth for Kingdom Work[33:45] The 10 Commandments & Financial Wisdom[37:40] Why This Book Is a Missionary Tool[39:30] Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:Get your copy of Be Wise With Your Money in These End Times by Steve W.

Episode #1091    We're bringing this one back because it's one of the most asked-about topics from men inside The Powerful Man. How do you rebuild connection with your wife when things feel flat, distant, or disconnected? Doug is joined again by his wife, Erin Holt, for a candid conversation on what actually works when it comes to rebuilding intimacy in a long-term relationship. They unpack how most men miss the early signs of disconnection, how emotional safety gets slowly eroded, and why small, ignored moments matter more than you think. Erin shares the perspective from the other side, what women really want, what they wish their husbands would notice, and how masculine leadership plays a key role in getting the relationship back on track. This episode also breaks down simple, real-world actions you can take to rebuild trust, spark attraction again, and create the kind of relationship that doesn't just survive but actually feels good to be in. If you've been feeling like roommates, if the spark is gone, or if your wife has started pulling away, start here. If you're ready to get clear on how things got off track and want a step-by-step plan to fix it, watch the free training at fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales. It's a straightforward look at how to rebuild connection without begging, chasing, or forcing hard conversations.

Send us a textWhen a new year starts, a lot of people quietly hope their relationship will feel lighter by now.Less tension.Less distance.Fewer conversations that end in the same painful place.But if it still feels hard to get through to each other, this episode is your reminder that you're not broken and you're not alone.In this conversation, we unpack the skill that quietly determines whether your conversations create connection or turn into conflict: emotional regulation.Because most couples don't actually need “better communication” first.They need more emotional stability first.You'll learn why emotional regulation is the gateway skill that makes every other relationship tool work, especially when life feels intense, stressful, or unsafe and your nervous system is already carrying too much.In this episode, we cover:Why “we should just talk it through” often backfires when emotions are highHow stress and uncertainty show up as tone, impatience, and quick reactivity at homeThe missing concept most couples never learned: emotional capacity (and how it impacts conflict)How emotional regulation works in real life, using the “emotional plank” metaphorThe tiny moment where everything changes: catching tension early enough to choose a different responseA practical reframe that can stop escalation fast: shifting from “don't want” language to “want” languageWhy emotional regulation is not “being nice,” “stuffing it,” or “letting things slide”What to do when you feel like you're the only one doing the work (and why it still matters)A simple practice to build your regulation reps: short rounds of listening, even when you disagreeA challenge you can try today: a literal plank to connect the body to emotional tension and build awarenessKey takeawayIf conversations keep collapsing, it's often not because you don't love each other.It's because your nervous systems are overloaded and you're trying to have hard conversations without the foundation that makes them safe.Stability first. Clarity second.Need help getting unstuck?If you feel like you're living at the edge of capacity and you can't find clarity inside the conflict, book a free Clarity Call. It's a short, supportive conversation to help you slow down, feel seen, and get clear on your next step.Schedule here: stacibartley.com/applyTimestamps: 04:00 The Importance of Emotional Safety at Home08:03 Emotional Capacity and Resilience13:07 Practical Examples of Emotional Regulation18:06 The Power of Choice in Emotional Tension21:45 Focusing on Solutions, Not Problems26:23 The Impact of Emotional Awareness on Relationships28:05 Navigating Relationship Tensions29:45 Holding Tension for Yourself32:07 The Power of Demonstrated Behavior33:32 Practical Steps for Emotional Capacity35:35 Slowing Down in High-Stress Moments42:16 Building Emotional Awareness44:56 The Importance of Emotional Regulation50:28 Creating Safe Spaces in Relationships

Fear doesn't always look obvious. Sometimes it shows up as overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling stuck and unsure of your next move. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to choose faith over fear — not just in running, but in everyday life.Inspired by a meaningful Christmas gift with the words “Faith Over Fear,” this conversation dives into how fear can quietly impact training, consistency, and confidence. We share personal stories and coaching insights on how fear often tries to pull us out of alignment with who we are and who we're becoming.You'll learn how to recognize fear when it's disguising itself, simple tools like breath and awareness to reset your nervous system, and practical ways to move forward even when things feel uncertain.If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure in your running or life, this episode is a reminder that you don't need all the answers — just the willingness to take the next step with trust and support.00:42 Recap of Kevin's Long Haul 100 Experience02:36 Post-Race Recovery Insights05:48 Understanding Fear and Its Disguises14:16 The Impact of Stress on Our Lives and Running23:27 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Faith26:12 Challenging the Comfort Zone26:29 Race Reflections and Lessons Learned28:37 Balancing Fear and Faith in Running40:14 Parenting: Faith Over Fear43:52 Nutrition and Health: Evolving Beliefs46:46 Practical Steps to Overcome FearJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Summary In this conversation, Gary Roberts and Ash discuss the profound impact of yoga and alternative healing methods on mental health, particularly for first responders. Ash shares insights on yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice, and its benefits for stress management and healing. They explore the importance of preparation in healing journeys, the stress response in high-pressure professions, and the spiritual aspects of yoga. Practical advice is given for first responders to incorporate grounding practices into their lives, along with addressing common misconceptions about yoga and meditation.   Takeaways Yoga is often misunderstood as just physical exercise. Yoga nidra is a powerful tool for relaxation and healing. Preparation is crucial for effective healing experiences. The stress response can be detrimental to mental health.

Shockingly, in a recent Ohio election, 30% of Christian school graduates voted for abortion, revealing a deep failure to clearly teach and form a biblical worldview on this critical issue. In this episode, Linda and Troy McIntosh (OCEN) confront why we're falling short in this important area and how we can boldly, faithfully, and compassionately reclaim our responsibility to teach the truth.

Are you anxious about an abrupt transition to retirement? In this episode of Retirement Answers, I share the concept of phased retirement, where you can gradually reduce work hours or stress levels instead of stopping work entirely. I explain the financial and emotional benefits, offering practical advice for a smoother, more comfortable path to retirement.

Embracing Pauses as Invitations for Reflection and Growth In this heartfelt message, Jeremy encourages viewers to see interruptions, such as inclement weather, as opportunities for reflection, rest, and deeper connection with family and faith. He draws parallels to biblical stories where God used moments of stillness to reveal profound truths and offers practical advice on how to use unexpected downtime to re-evaluate life's direction and priorities. Jeremy also emphasizes the importance of being fully present with those around us and embracing the spiritual practice of reflection. The episode concludes with a prayer for safety, community support, and a deeper connection with God during these quiet moments. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction01:34 Embracing Interruptions as Invitations 02:29 New Beginnings and Slow Starts 04:22 The Importance of Stillness 08:41 Reflection and Honest Assessment 14:03 Practical Steps for Growth 17:00 Building Community and Being Present 19:59 Conclusion and Prayer

Foreign Options for US Citizens Summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-Jnr3Go2Gg In this conversation, Frazer Rice of Next Vantage and Judi Galst of Henley and Partners discuss the increasing interest among U.S. citizens in exploring global mobility options amidst geopolitical chaos. We delve into the distinctions between residency and citizenship, the implications of U.S. taxation, and the motivations driving individuals to seek alternative living arrangements. The discussion also covers the potential for citizenship through ancestry, popular destinations for relocation, and investment opportunities in countries like New Zealand and Australia. Judi emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal and practical aspects of relocating, as well as the need for personal exploration before making significant decisions. Takeaways Interest in global mobility has surged among U.S. citizens. Many seek residency as an insurance policy rather than leaving the U.S. Understanding residency vs. citizenship is crucial for potential expatriates. Residency can lead to citizenship but often requires time and investment. Tax implications are complex; relocating should not be primarily for tax benefits. Ancestry can provide a pathway to citizenship in several countries. Popular destinations for U.S. citizens include Europe, the Caribbean, and New Zealand. Investment opportunities exist in countries like New Zealand and Australia. Emerging markets in South America and Asia are gaining attention. Practical steps include consulting experts and visiting potential countries.

We’re certainly living in crazy political times right now, and a lot of US citizens are worried about what’s happening here and abroad. And they’re starting to think about other residencies and citizenship options. I talked to Judy Gost at Henley and Partners about what is and isn’t possible on that front. By the end of this, you’re going to understand the locations that are interesting, the difference between residency and citizenship, and why that may matter as you make choices for your retirement and your location long-term, both for yourself and for your kids. Frazer Rice (00:00.874)Welcome aboard, Judy. Judi Galst (00:03.022)Thanks for having me. Frazer Rice (00:04.244)Well, we’re in the midst of a lot of geopolitical chaos, and I think you have seen and I’ve seen a lot of interest in United States citizens looking abroad for either places to live or other situations to either get away from the chaos or try to address some other needs in their lives. What is the state of the union? assume interest has ticked up. Judi Galst (00:27.874)Yes, I’ve seen more business than I could have ever predicted, but it’s not necessarily people that are leaving the United States. For the most part, most of the clients that I’m working with are doing it as an insurance policy. A lot of the conversations I have with a client start out with them saying, I don’t want to leave the United States, but I’m feeling unsettled and the way to mitigate the way that I’m feeling is to have options. So they want to understand what if I did want to have a guaranteed right to go live in another part of the world? What is available to me? How do I pursue this? How long will it take? Frazer Rice (01:08.434)And we’ll get into some of the technical aspects here, but one of the concepts is understanding the difference between being able to reside somewhere else and being a citizen of another country, and then how that interacts with being a citizen of the United States. Maybe take us through the comparison of residents versus citizenship. Judi Galst (01:28.748)Yeah, that’s actually a really important distinction. And it doesn’t mean that one is better than the other, but they do have different benefits. And so it’s important to understand the difference. So let’s start with residents. Residents doesn’t mean the ability to have a house in another country. It means the ability to reside legally in another country. So the US passport is very strong. You can go into a lot of different countries even without having a visa. But we can’t stay there forever. We have limits, for example, in Europe. We can go in for 90 days, but then we have to leave for 90 days before we can go back in for another 90 days. So if you become a legal resident of another country, you have the ability to live there unlimited for a certain period of time. Residency is not permanent unless there’s a path to permanent residency. So usually you’re going to have to renew it and there may be some conditions in order to maintain it. Now, how frequently you have to renew it is going to vary by the country. For example, in Greece, you can become a Greek resident via a golden visa and that is good for five years and you’ll renew for another five years. In Italy, it’s good for two years. Then you renew for another three years. In Portugal, it’s good for two years. Then you renew for another three years. And as I said, there could be conditions. So in Greece, you qualify via purchasing real estate. If you sell the real estate, you’re going to lose your golden visa, not be able to renew it. In Italy, you qualify via purchasing stock. Frazer Rice (02:51.925)Right. Judi Galst (02:55.945)If you sell the stock, you’re not going to be able to renew it. You can get some travel rights by being a resident. Usually this benefit is not as important to a U.S. person because we already have really good travel benefits with our U.S. passport. But it can often be a strategy for someone from a country with a weaker passport, say even someone living in the United States that has only a Chinese passport. If they want to go into Europe, they have to get a Schenken visa. So a strategy for them might be let me become a resident of say Greece and then I gain Schengen access. Not unlimited, but I get that 90 days out of 180 days. Finally, I would say that residency can have a path to citizenship. Usually it’s a pretty arduous path. For example, in Italy, you can become a resident. You have to live in the country of Italy for six months a year for 10 years before you’d be eligible to apply. In Greece, six months a year for seven years. But there is ultimately a path in most residency programs. Frazer Rice (03:56.755)So let’s dive into citizenship, which my predilection on that is that it’s a much more permanent component, but it’s also a much more difficult process in general. Judi Galst (04:05.646)It doesn’t necessarily have to be difficult. It really depends on what program you’re doing. But you’re right. It’s a guaranteed right. It’s very difficult for a country to take away someone’s citizenship. The other big difference is that you get a passport. So in addition to gaining the ability to live in the country that you’re a citizen of, you also get another travel document. So depending upon what treaties have been done between your country of citizenship and other countries, it may really improve your mobility. Again, U.S. passport is pretty strong. you’re U.S. passport holder, unless there’s something unexpected like a pandemic when borders close to Americans, you already have a good travel document. But it can be another mobility option. Perhaps you’re going into a country you don’t want to identify as a U.S. passport holder, or perhaps you have a weaker passport and you want to travel on a secondary citizenship passport that might improve your mobility. Where citizenship is particularly powerful is in Europe. Because if you become a citizen of one country in the European Union, you gain the right to reside and work in any country in Europe. Frazer Rice (05:11.104)And just to distinguish, how does that impact UK people after they Brexited? Judi Galst (05:16.942)Sadly, with Brexit, the UK is no longer part of the EU. So many people in the UK are quite upset about this because no, you’re not going to gain the ability as a citizen of an EU country to live in the UK, nor are citizens of the UK now able to live anywhere in the European Union as they were previously. Frazer Rice (05:36.992)So let’s apply this directly to US citizens. So US citizen taxed on worldwide wealth. Let’s start with that. sure because I just got a Twitter fight with somebody who said, well, if you’re crypto, you can move away and you’re not out of the system. I’m like, that’s just no. We’ll start with that. But taxed on worldwide wealth, good passport can travel, but there are limitations as far as how long you can stay in various countries, probably around Judi Galst (05:52.622)Mm-hmm. Frazer Rice (06:06.578)Investment options, land ownership, things like that, depending on it. Where are the benefits of that U.S. person looking for another place to either reside or gain citizenship? Judi Galst (06:20.312)Well, it’s not a tax benefit. You started out with taxes and I know when someone, a client calls and says, you know, can you tell me what my options are? I’m really sick of paying us taxes. I’m like, well, this isn’t the right call for you. Yeah. So, but it’s important to understand. It doesn’t mean you’re going to be double taxed because that is a misconception that many people have about whether they should pursue a strategy of alternative residents or citizenship, because unlike the U S and Eritrea, Frazer Rice (06:22.079)Right. Frazer Rice (06:30.08)Puerto Rico that that’s it. That’s your best bet if you’re gonna try if you’re gonna try to play games Judi Galst (06:49.774)Every other country in the world, you don’t automatically become a tax resident by being a legal resident or even by being a citizen. Usually, you’re not going to trigger tax residency unless you reside 183 days in another country, but there are some exceptions. Switzerland is 90 days. Some, like New Zealand, will say it’s 183 days, but in a 12-month period, not necessarily in a year. I’m not licensed to give tax advice, so I’m giving high-level answer to this question. But in general, just by pursuing an alternative residence or citizenship, there’s no tax consequences. And if you were to become a tax resident, many of the countries that we support programs in have treaties. So it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to pay double tax, but it does mean it has to be looked at. If I am talking to a client and they really have full intention of relocating to another country, immediately I want them to have a local tax consultation, which I set up for them to understand what, if any, consequences they have to be aware of. Frazer Rice (07:50.322)And those consequences can change. did an episode probably about six months ago on the change in law in the UK. And it’s a different environment than it was even six months ago for people either going in or coming out of that country as it relates to their US intersection. So I think that the summary on all of that is, look, if you’re going there, A, don’t do it for tax purposes, B, If you’re going to do it, make sure you get local tax counsel because those relationships can be complicated and will affect your planning. Judi Galst (08:25.198)Let’s talk about why people are doing it because taxes is not the strategy. And I would say, and my clients are almost exclusively Americans. So why are people calling me about this? There’s really four key motivators that tend to come up in the conversation. The first is because they do want another mobility option. They kind of have some PTSD still from the pandemic. They remember that feeling. Frazer Rice (08:27.935)Mm. Judi Galst (08:48.226)We could all work remotely. You had the vacation house in Italy or you had the private plane and all of a sudden you couldn’t take advantage of it because all the borders are closed to you and we could only stay in the United States. So some people are just realizing there is some risk to having one mobility option and they want to have an alternative. But I would say 90 % of the conversations I have there’s some reference to a plan B. People are feeling unsettled for so many different reasons. You know, I talked to people whose family fled the Holocaust. It is literally in their DNA where their family thought it could never happen here. And that comes up in every conversation with them. But I have same sex, you know, couples, have transgender clients, I have people whose family lived in other countries where they saw the fall of democracy. And then I just have a lot of wealthy clients, and they’re diversifying their assets right now. And they want to diversify their mobility. They pay a lot of money in insurance and they say, Judy, this is just another line item. Frazer Rice (09:45.896)You Judi Galst (09:46.703)I’d say some are thinking not just about themselves, but they’re thinking about protecting generational opportunity and legacy. Some say, you know, I’m a student of history and yeah, maybe it’s going to take 10, 15, 20 years, but I’ve seen this happen before. And I want to know that my kids and my grandkids are going to have options to either live a life in another part of the world for cultural or educational opportunities or in a worst case scenario, because the U.S. isn’t where they actually want to be. And finally, I’d say it fits nicely in a diversification of asset strategy, which many, many people are thinking about right now. Maybe they don’t want to hold all their money in the United States. Maybe they don’t want to all their real estate in the United States. And there can be strategies that are separate from what I do in terms of opening bank accounts in Switzerland or Singapore or other parts of the world. But really, all the programs that I do require you to move some assets. You’re either investing in stock or venture capital or private equity or real estate. So it does complement a diversification of asset strategy. Frazer Rice (10:42.911)Cool, so let’s think about, we sort of beat the tax horse to death a little bit here, but relocating versus renouncing. And different things, know, people probably come up to you with questions, do I have to fully leave? Do I have to renounce my US citizenship? How does all of that Judi Galst (10:51.608)Mm-hmm. Judi Galst (10:58.222)Great questions. So I’ve never had a client renounce. The US right now does not limit the number of passports one can have or citizenships one can have or how many residences they can have. Now, there is a congressperson who has just decided he wants to introduce some sort of bill that’s going to eliminate dual citizenship for Americans, although most constitutional scholars feel that’s like dead on arrival. But I have to acknowledge that. So no, you don’t need to renounce. And frankly, if you have a lot of money, renouncing is quite complicated and expensive, and you need really good counsel to make that very, very significant decision. In terms of relocation, almost all of the programs that we support require little to no physical presence. You’re always going to probably have to go for biometrics and give fingerprints. But a lot of these programs, you don’t actually have to come back to that country again, except to renew it. So for people that really want it as a Plan B and have no intention of really going to live in another part of the world at this stage in their lives, there’s not an obligation for you to spend time in order to maintain the ability to live in another country if you so choose. Frazer Rice (12:08.017)One thing that comes up that people ask me about and I only vaguely understand it is the concept of being able to get citizenship via ancestry. Comes up with a lot of people of Irish descent, Germany and Austrian especially. What’s the state of that and how realistic is it across different countries? Judi Galst (12:15.993)Mm. Mm-hmm. Judi Galst (12:26.767)It’s very realistic. And in fact, I’m doing German citizenship for myself. So for anyone whose family fled due to Nazi persecution from Germany and Austria, you and all future generations are entitled to citizenship. And my friends are like, why do you want German passport? But first of all, my kids got it. So my kids can go now live and work in Europe if they want, which is great, tremendous optionality. If you remember, I said before, it’s not just Germany. It’s any country in the European Union. Frazer Rice (12:30.473)Okay. Frazer Rice (12:47.956)Right. Judi Galst (12:56.899)And it’s very affordable if you actually are entitled to it. At Henley and Partners, we have established relationships with experts, lawyers in several countries that specialize in citizenship by ancestry. It’s very complex. And every country has different rules about like, it was passed down on the mother’s side, or if there was a break in the bloodline, or if it was passed a certain generation, or if there was a name change, there’s a lot of complexity to it. But clients who think they may be eligible can contact us and we will have an assessment done. And if there is a case, we’ll refer them to someone that can help them through the process. And, you know, it can cost around 5,000, 7,500 euros versus I have clients getting EU citizenship through, you know, Malta and they’re 1.5 million out of pocket. So if you can qualify via Ancestry, I’d say certainly it’s worth considering. Frazer Rice (13:50.879)Terrific. Judi Galst (13:51.311)But don’t call me and say, like, I did 23andMe and I’m Irish. Because you do actually have to produce documents. Not a humongous list of documents, but you’re going to need naturalization certificates for the descendant. You’re going to need marriage certificates, birth certificates, and other documents. Frazer Rice (13:55.187)Ha ha ha! Frazer Rice (14:10.844)So there’s definitely an exercise involved with it, but if you can legitimately trace lineage, you may have a shot. So let’s talk about what jurisdictions are popular with United States citizens. We talked a little bit about Europe, and I’m sure there’s some, let’s call it, some that are easier than others. But then Caribbean, South America, Australia, New Zealand, maybe even Asia, what comes across your desk as being Judi Galst (14:14.094)Mm-mm. Exactly. Frazer Rice (14:40.488)more reasonable than others maybe. Judi Galst (14:43.246)So I’d say clients that I’m talking to are basically going in one of four different directions. One is Europe. For residency, we’re looking at Portugal, Greece, Italy, and Malta. Those are all great programs because they require little to no time in the country to maintain the residency rights. So for people that really have no intention of spending significant time in another country, they’re really good solutions. And for citizenship in Europe, there very limited options. There’s ancestry, which we just talked about. But the concept of citizenship by investment in Europe essentially was killed by the European Court of Justice in the spring of 2025. To give a little bit of explanation, Malta used to have a citizenship by investment program. And it basically said, do these three things, make a large gift to the Maltese economy, rent a property for six years and spend somewhere around 21 days in the country. And you will have a path. to citizenship in Malta, which is an EU country. And the EU hated it. They felt it was transactional, that the passport was being sold, and they felt that people were being granted citizenship that didn’t show a tie to the country. And when this court ruling came out and deemed Malta’s program illegal, it essentially killed citizenship by investment programs in Europe. So I don’t think you’re going to see any European Union country have a citizenship by investment program, nor any country that wants to join the EU have one. But many countries in Europe have provisions in their constitution that say, if you are an exceptional person that make an exceptional contribution to our country or to humanity, we have discretionary ability to grant you citizenship. And so there are some paths to citizenship via merit, specifically through Malta and Austria right now, as well as some other places. So that’s Europe, snapshot of Europe. Let’s talk a little bit about Caribbean, which you specifically brought up. Frazer Rice (16:35.581)Right. Judi Galst (16:40.862)So Caribbean is a path to citizenship. If you remember, said citizenship, lifelong, right? Not many countries have a path to citizenship. It’s very fast. It’s very affordable. What does it give you? So there are five countries in the Caribbean that have programs St. Kitts, Antigua, Grenada, Dominica, St. Lucia. It gives you citizenship in one of those countries. A passport, another passport that you can travel on. Right now, it’s pretty strong. You can go into Europe with it, the UK, Ireland, not unlimited, same as the US, limited amount of time. Although I’m not sure the strength of the Caribbean passports is always going to be. as strong as it is today. Europe doesn’t love these programs. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the Caribbean passports tend to get weaker. However, for a client that says to me, this is purely an insurance policy. I want to cover my kids and my kids are in their 20s because a lot of times these program kids are going to need their own investment if they’re over the age of 18 or 21. Caribbean wouldn’t be a bad place for us if we felt we wanted to get out of town for a little while. Frazer Rice (17:23.23)Sure. Judi Galst (17:50.031)The Caribbean’s a great solution for a very affordable amount, maybe 400,000 for family. You can get and make an investment in real estate that you can sell in five or seven years and your entire family can gain citizenship. So that’s Caribbean. I can pivot to something else that you want to ask a question. OK, so I actually love the program that New Zealand has out right now, especially for a high net worth person. Frazer Rice (18:05.342)Okay, no, let’s try Australia and New Zealand. Judi Galst (18:18.414)I think every high net worth person should do New Zealand. And for a couple of reasons. First of all, it’s purely investment driven. You have to move a lot of money. So it has to be for a high net worth person because they’re going to move three million US dollars to be invested in private equity, venture capital and private credit in New Zealand for around a three year period. And children up to the age of 25, provided that they’re single and not working full time can be included in that investment. There’s very little time that the family needs to spend in New Zealand. As soon as you move the money there, you gain the right to live unlimited in New Zealand. But the main applicant only has to do 21 days, and the other family members only have to enter and exit for one day in the first year. At the end of three years, provided you didn’t invest in things that have a longer holding period, but from an immigration perspective, you can liquidate your investment. And then you can become a permanent resident. So you have a lifelong right at any time to relocate to New Zealand, or you never have to go back again. English speaking, good healthcare, good education. You could have a life there, unlike I don’t think people really want to envision spending 10 years in the Caribbean. But 10 years in New Zealand, you know, there’s many industries and many things that you could be doing. And you could have a quality of life, maybe not akin to the United States, but good. So I love the New Zealand program. Australia used to have a citizenship by investment program. They do not have one any longer. There is a route that they extend to people, which they call sort of like a talent visa. So there are certain sectors that are important to Australia and they would very much like to attract talent in those sectors. Usually it’s younger talent. So when I’m talking to a client that’s over 55, it can be difficult to get you approved for it. But I’ve had people over 55 that have gotten approved. And if you have the background that Australia deems valuable, they’ll grant you a five-year visa for you and your family at no cost. Children have to be under the age of 18 or financially dependent up to age 23 to be included. But this is a visa that’s only good for five years. And if you don’t contribute to Australian society, it’s not getting renewed. Judi Galst (20:38.082)But I’ve had people from Hollywood, I’ve had songwriters, I’ve had producers, directors, people in private equity that specialize in sectors that are important to Australia. People in finance have been approved. So it’s worth considering if the idea of being able to live in Australia means something to you. Interestingly with that visa, you can also live in New Zealand. Frazer Rice (20:58.095)Okay, it’s one of those things too. If people aren’t forcing you to say, don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, that might not be a good route, but if you are talented or bring something to bear, it may be worth taking a stab at. Is it reciprocal? If you’re in New Zealand, can you go to Australia? Got it. So let’s pivot to Asia and or South America, which you hear about Singapore, you hear about… Judi Galst (21:16.194)No. Good question. Frazer Rice (21:27.131)Other different sort of haveny types of places where people place their wealth or establish family offices and South America I think is, know, think about like Uruguay and places like that which, you know, have the reputation of being the Switzerland of South America. What’s the state of play there? Judi Galst (21:44.527)So I have actually had a few clients that have done residency in Uruguay. They don’t have a formalized program, although I think a more formalized program is going to come out of there. Henley and Partners actually has a government advisory line of business, so we design a lot of these programs and we’re very active in South America. There’s a lot of interest in South America to have citizenship and residence by investment programs, so I think you’re going to see a lot coming from that region in the near term. But Uruguay does have a path to residency. You have to spend time there. Frazer Rice (21:58.611)Mm-hmm. Frazer Rice (22:12.893)Judi Galst (22:13.251)And they don’t tell you exactly how much. Yeah. But most of my clients went with the expectation that maybe they’d have to stay for 30 days and they ended up getting the visa approved faster. You have to go back every year for a period of time or not renew renewing it. But yes, there is a path in Uruguay and more in Central America. People are doing Panama. Frazer Rice (22:36.637)Costa Rica. Judi Galst (22:37.773)Costa Rica is really interesting, very affordable. know we wanted to talk a little bit about the range, but in Costa Rica, you can gain temporary residence by demonstrating you have $2,500 a month in passive income. Many people will have that with interest and dividend income. Or you could invest $150,000 in real estate. It’s a temporary residence for two years, and then you renew for another two years. But at three years, you can transition to permanent residence. As a temporary resident, cannot work for a company in Costa Rica, so you’d have to be able to work remotely. And then once you become a permanent resident, that requirement disappears. Once you are approved, you do have to pay into Social Security in Costa Rica that gives you access to health care. So it’s about $300 per application per month. But Costa Rica is very interesting, I think. Frazer Rice (23:26.67)As we go back, pivot back to Asia, are there any countries with Singapore or others that are possibilities for people in the US? Judi Galst (23:33.722)So Singapore is a possibility. However, you have to move a family office with over 200 million there, or investment levels are around 30 million, and you have to relocate, and the ability to renew it is contingent upon how much time you spend in Singapore. So I would say a very niche client could do Singapore. A more affordable option might be Thailand, which you can get a residence permit very… Frazer Rice (23:44.125)Mm-hmm. Frazer Rice (23:52.605)To be sure. Okay. Judi Galst (24:00.782)Inexpensively. mean, a five-year permit for $25,000. Frazer Rice (24:05.159)Wow. And to round out our tour of the world here, Middle East countries, maybe the UAE, you hear about that as a place where a lot of Europeans go to move their wealth. Is that becoming popular with United States citizens? Judi Galst (24:16.463)Mm-hmm. Judi Galst (24:22.381)Golden Visa in Dubai is very popular. Honestly, not so much among Americans. It’s usually people from other parts of the world. mean, my firm has 70 offices around the world and we do a lot of UAE Golden Visas. I don’t have a huge amount of interest from Americans. I’ve done a couple of them. It’s not hard. You do have to spend time, like 30 days as part of the process there. Frazer Rice (24:26.525)Mm-hmm. Judi Galst (24:46.703)You can invest in real estate at 550,000, but there’s like 19 different visa types. You can set up a company. If you’re a member of YPO, Young Presidents Organization, they’re deemed talented and they don’t even make an investment. So, you know, it’s an option and we could certainly help it. But to be honest, I don’t see huge demand among Americans. Frazer Rice (25:03.259)Interesting. So let’s round this out a little bit here. For a U.S. citizen who is feeling unsettled or is just curious what’s out there. They want the ability to go live in Madeira, buy a place there. And to be able to go unfettered or something like that. What’s a good thought process or sequence of events for them to go through in order to make that happen? Judi Galst (25:31.344)I mean, we don’t charge for consultations. So I don’t know if you’re going to share my email at the end of this, but just hit me up. To me, any client conversation is about educating. This is generally a new topic for someone. It’s very rare that someone calls me and they really understand what is available to them and also what would be a good fit for them. They may not understand if they want to include their children. There are going to be some that are going to be better fits for them than other based on the ages of the kids. They may not understand how much time they have to spend in a country to make it happen. How much it’s going to cost, and just learn about it. Learn what your options are. I can usually pretty quickly. Once I understand a client’s objectives, tell them. This is a strategy that I think makes sense for you and exactly how it would Frazer Rice (26:14.206)And it strikes me too, that for people who are exploring different places, it’s probably a good idea to have visited them first before just jumping in, jumping in feet first and sort of solving a problem without understanding what actually implementing the solution looks like. Judi Galst (26:21.111)Yeah. Yeah. Judi Galst (26:29.177)For sure. I because many of the clients that I work with are of higher wealth, they usually have done a fair amount of traveling. So the idea of envisioning, know, residency in Italy, they’ve been to Italy. But when I talk to clients, especially about the Caribbean, where they might be investing in real estate and they have to decide between which country makes the most sense, I always tell them they should try and go because it can be a lifestyle decision. And they want to see where they could actually envision themselves if, in fact, they triggered this insurance policy. Frazer Rice (26:58.59)Judy, great stuff. Here it is. Put your email out there in case people want to reach out and find out more. Judi Galst (27:05.099)Okay, amazing. So my email is my first name, Judy, J-U-D-I dot my last name, GALST, G-A-L-S as in Sam T, at henleyglobal.com, H-E-N-L-E-Y, global.com, or you can give me a call at 646-856-3712. Frazer Rice (27:29.406)Great stuff. We’re going to have that in the show notes too so people can look on webpage, etc. to get that information. Thank you so much. It’s something, you know, when you’re at the desk and dreaming wistfully about what life looks like, what you’re done working, if you’re done working, my calculation is I’ll be able to retire when I’m 127. But it’s great just to sort of envision what that looks like. the expertise is out there. Thanks for being on. Judi Galst (27:56.047)My pleasure.

In this episode, Guy talked with Peter Russell, an author, guide, and meditation teacher. He discussed his deep-seated interest in consciousness and the ways in which we can achieve a natural state of contentment. He emphasized the importance of letting go of societal-induced discontent and our attachments to material things. The conversation navigated through topics such as the ego, our emotional responses, and how simple mindfulness practices can transform our perspectives and lives. Peter also explained his motivations and findings in his latest book, 'Letting Go of Nothing,' and gave insights into his daily routines and thoughts on the rapidly changing world. About Peter: Peter Russell is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest. At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and theoretical physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the human mind, he changed to experimental psychology. Pursuing this interest, he traveled to India to study meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up the first research post ever offered in Britain on the psychology of meditation. He also has a postgraduate degree in computer science, and conducted some of the early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by some twenty years the advent of virtual reality. In the 1970s, he was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior management on creativity, stress management, personal development, and sustainable development. Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil and British Petroleum. In 1982 he coined the term "Global Brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have. His latest book, "Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover the Wonder of Your True Nature" was published on August 8, 2021. His other books include: The TM Technique, The Upanishads, The Brain Book, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution, Waking Up in Time, The Global Brain / The Awakening Earth, Seeds of Awakening, and From Science to God.

In a recent podcast episode, host TS Wright and guest Debra McNinch explore the spiritual significance of the year ahead and offer encouragement for those feeling weary in their journeys. This blog post will unpack their insights and provide practical steps to embrace the coming year with faith and purpose.debramcninch.comMain Content:Section 1: The Spirit of AnticipationDebra McNinch opens the podcast by expressing a sense of anticipation for 2026, referring to it as a year of spiritual takeoff. She emphasizes that while the past few years have been tumultuous, there is a buildup to something spiritually significant that is about to unfold. This message resonates with many who are yearning for restoration in various aspects of their lives, whether it be family, careers, or personal growth. Section 2: The Call to ActionDrawing from the biblical book of Second Kings, Debra shares a powerful story of three kings who find themselves in a desperate situation in the desert. They call upon the prophet Elisha for guidance, who instructs them to dig ditches despite the harsh conditions. This act of digging ditches symbolizes faith and obedience, even when the circumstances seem bleak. Debra challenges listeners to reflect on their own valleys of despair and consider what it means to dig their own ditches in faith, whether through prayer, fasting, or active trust in God.Section 3: Practical Steps for Digging DitchesDebra outlines several practical steps for listeners to take as they prepare for what God has in store for them in 2026. These include:1. **Prayer**: Commit to interceding for your loved ones and situations that matter to you, even when it feels like nothing is changing. 2. **Trust**: Let go of control and choose faith over fear. Trust that God is working behind the scenes.3. **Fasting**: Consider fasting as a way to deepen your spiritual connection and focus on what truly matters.4. **Speaking Truth**: Continuously speak God's truth over your challenges and loved ones, reinforcing faith in His promises.5. **Worship**: Dedicate time to worship and sit in God's presence, allowing Him to guide your actions and responses.Section 4: A Year of Change and GrowthAs the conversation unfolds, TS Wright reinforces the importance of surrendering results to God. He encourages listeners to involve Jesus in every aspect of their lives, emphasizing that while we are called to take action, the ultimate outcomes belong to Him. This mindset shifts the pressure from ourselves and allows us to focus on glorifying God through our actions.Conclusion: Key TakeawaysThe podcast concludes with a strong message of hope and encouragement as we embark on 2026. This year is not just another chapter; it is an opportunity for growth, restoration, and...

In this episode of the BH Sales Holistic Healing Hour, join Grandpa Bill as he overviews SOON TO BE (1/29/26 5 p.mEDT) monthly repeat guest psychotherapist Byron Athene as we will delve into the profound wisdom of William Ralph Inge's quote, "Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due." Explore how objectivity can serve as a powerful tool to manage anxiety, helping us focus on present realities rather than speculative fears. Discover practical insights on cultivating mental resilience and learn how an objective lens can liberate you from the cycle of worry, empowering you to respond effectively to life's true challenges.In a world where anxiety often feels like a constant companion, the wisdom of William Ralph Inge's quote, "Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due," resonates deeply. This episode of the BH Sales Holistic Healing Hour, featuring Grandpa Bill and psychotherapist Byron Athene, in studio on 1/29/26 explores how objectivity can serve as a powerful antidote to the inefficiencies of worry.Understanding the Cost of WorryGrandpa Bill  will open the discussion by highlighting how worry drains our mental and emotional resources, likening it to paying interest on a debt that may never materialize. This metaphor captures the essence of anxiety's inefficiency, as we often expend energy on events that haven't happened and may never occur.Objectivity as a Tool for Mental ResilienceByron Athene, a seasoned psychotherapist, will be delving into the role of objectivity in cultivating mental resilience. He will explain that objectivity allows us to step outside our emotional biases, enabling us to see situations as they truly are rather than through the lens of fear. This shift from subjective worry to objective analysis empowers us to respond effectively to life's challenges.Practical Steps to Cultivate ObjectivityThroughout the upcoming episode, practical insights will be shared on how to develop an objective mindset. Byron will emphasize the importance of metacognition—thinking about our thinking—as a way to break free from the cycle of worry. By focusing on evidence and rational analysis, we can conserve our mental resources for when action is truly needed.Conclusion: Embracing a New PerspectiveAs this episode concludes, listeners are encouraged to embrace objectivity as a tool for personal growth and mental clarity. By shifting our focus from "what if" to "what now," we can liberate ourselves from the self-imposed interest of worry and live more fully in the present.Subscribe now to stay updated on future episodes and continue your journey towards a more objective and fulfilling lifeObjectivity, Anxiety Management, Mental Resilience, Clarity, Empowerment.

Hey friends,Let's be honest, studying the Bible as a busy parent can feel overwhelming. We want to be in the Word, but sometimes we just don't know where to start. Today's episode is a lifeline if you've ever stared at your Bible and thought, “I want to read this… I just don't know how.”I'm so excited for you to hear from Faith Womack (aka Bible Nerd), who is on a mission to help people fall in love with scripture in a way that's approachable, meaningful, and, dare we say…fun. This conversation is the reminder we all need that Bible study isn't about performance; it's about presence. And it is possible to make time for God's Word in our full and fast-moving lives.Here are a few things Faith shared that really stuck with me:Bible study doesn't have to be intense or intimidating, it's an invitation, not a test.The Gospels make an incredible starting point when you need a reset or a place to re-engage with Jesus.We model a love of scripture to our kids not with perfection, but by simply showing up with curiosity and consistency.Worship can happen while we study, it's not just something we do after we understand everything.Whether you're brand new to Bible study or just need some fresh encouragement, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath of grace and motivation.Faith is the founder of Bible Nerd Ministries, where she equips Christians to understand and enjoy scripture. Her new book, No More Boring Bible Study, is a practical and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to connect with God's Word in a real and transformative way. Faith's mission is to help people study the Bible with joy, confidence, and depth, no seminary degree required. She lives with her husband and kids and is passionate about making the Bible accessible to everyone.Let's start where we are, open our Bibles, and remember that God delights in meeting us there.With love,Steph(00:00) Introduction to Bible Study Passion(03:04) The Journey of Understanding Scripture(06:02) Overcoming Intimidation in Bible Study(08:52) The Importance of a God-Centric Approach(12:07) Practical Steps to Engage with the Bible(14:55) Adapting Bible Study Habits as a Parent(17:57) Encouraging Kids in Their Faith Journey(21:03) Navigating Bible Study Resources(23:58) Conclusion and ResourcesConnect with FaithBible Nerd Ministries YouTubeInstagramHow to Faith a Life podcastResources MentionedNo More Boring Bible Study bookSign up for Morning MinuteChristian ParentingDwell Bible in a Year Prefer video?

Learn insights for aspiring photojournalists and storytellers. Table of Contents Who Is Eman Mohammed? Breaking Barriers: The First Woman Photojournalist in Gaza The Iconic Jacuzzi Image: Symbol of Life After Conflict Why Long‑Term Projects Matter Preparing for War Coverage: Gear, Safety, and Mental Health Behind the Book: The Cracks in My Lens (2022) The “Broken Souvenirs” Project: Trauma Without Borders Key Takeaways for Emerging Photojournalists Further Resources & Links 1. Who Is Eman Mohammed? Award‑winning photojournalist and Senior TED Fellow based in Alexandria, Virginia. Born in Saudi Arabia, raised from age two in Gaza. Published in The Guardian, CNN, Le Monde, Vice, The Washington Post, and more. “I was a complete mess during my first war—no protective gear, no electricity, a twisted ankle, and a 22‑day conflict.” – Eman Mohammed Her career is a blend of visual artistry, human‑rights advocacy, and mental‑health awareness. 2. Breaking Barriers: The First Woman Photojournalist in Gaza Challenge How Eman Responded Male‑dominated field Turned resistance into motivation; asked “why isn't there a woman photojournalist?” Cultural taboos Leveraged her unique access to women's stories that male crews cannot reach. Lack of role models locally Inspired by women photographers worldwide—Rula Halawani (West Bank), Marie Colvin (Syria), etc. Limited resources Began with a simple backpack, later secured protective gear and international support. 3. The Iconic Jacuzzi Image: Symbol of Life After Conflict The Story Behind the Shot Setting: After the 2008‑2009 Gaza war, a jacuzzi survived the demolition of a Palestinian man's house. Visual: Children taking a bubble bath on top of the rubble—a shocking yet hopeful tableau. Why It Resonates Resilience: Shows life continuing amid devastation. Human Connection: Highlights an unusual friendship between a Palestinian worker and his Israeli boss, hinting at shared humanity. Narrative Depth: Eman focused on the children, not the destruction, turning tragedy into a universal story of hope. Alt Text Suggestion for Web: Children playing in a bubble bath on war‑torn rubble in Gaza, taken by Eman Mohammed, representing resilience after conflict. 4. Why Long‑Term Projects Matter From Spot News to In‑Depth Storytelling Spot news captures the immediate event (e.g., rockets falling). Long‑term projects uncover causes, aftermath, and human impact. Benefits Highlighted by Eman Mohammed Deeper Understanding: Reveals how extremism forms, how societies heal. Narrative Cohesion: Allows “layers of mental health, tragedy, resilience” to emerge over time. Ethical Responsibility: Offers a full picture rather than “half information.” Practical Steps for Photographers Identify a core question (e.g., “What happens after a house is destroyed?”). Allocate time—months or years rather than days. Build trust with subjects for ongoing access. Document both visual and oral histories. long‑term photography projects, after‑effects of war, in‑depth photojournalism 5. Preparing for War Coverage: Gear, Safety, and Mental Health Gear & Logistics (What Eman Mohammed Learned the Hard Way) Early days: No protective vest, no backup batteries, unreliable electricity. Now: One spare battery, basic body armor, portable solar charger, reliable backup storage. Safety Strategies Know the locality—local journalists share the same surprise factor as residents. Secure evacuation routes (even if embassies may be limited). Maintain communication with a trusted network of fellow journalists. Mental Health & PTSD Therapy is essential – Eman stresses continual sessions, not a one‑off fix. Peer support: Sharing experiences with other photojournalists reduces isolation. Self‑care practices: Regular sleep, nutrition, and moments of “mental break” from intense material. war photographer safety tips, photojournalism PTSD, gear for conflict photography 6. Behind the Book: The Cracks in My Lens (2022) Limited‑edition memoir chronicling a decade‑plus of Gaza coverage. Challenges: Re‑seeing traumatic images, translating feelings into words, language barrier (English not native). Therapeutic Value: Forced Eman to process memories, confront PTSD, and articulate the “smell, taste, view” of daily life under siege. Availability: A few copies remain on her website (pre‑order if you're a collector). The Cracks in My Lens book, photojournalist memoir Gaza, limited edition photography book 7. The “Broken Souvenirs” Project: Trauma Without Borders Concept: Pair powerful images with survivor quotes, omitting national identifiers to emphasize universal pain. Scope: Gaza, September 11 survivors, Oklahoma bombing, Armenian genocide, Native American genocide, etc. Six‑Degrees‑of‑Separation: Every subject is linked within six connections, highlighting our interconnected humanity. Why the Anonymity? Focus on emotion, not geopolitics. Encourages viewers to see the shared human cost, regardless of “nation.” Broken Souvenirs photo project, war trauma photography, universal storytelling 8. Key Takeaways for Emerging Photojournalists Find your “absence” – let gaps in representation fuel your purpose. Leverage gender or cultural position to access untold stories. Prioritize long‑term narratives over fleeting headlines. Prepare pragmatically: gear, safety plans, mental‑health resources. Collaborate and mentor: Reach out to established photographers (e.g., Adrees Latif, Carol Guzy, Yunghi Kim). Tell stories ethically: Respect subjects, avoid sensationalism, and consider anonymity when it serves the story. 9.

Ever find yourself 95% done with a task… and somehow still not finishing it? In this episode, we're talking about what I call the infinite 5% — that last little stretch of a project that somehow takes forever. We'll break down why this pattern shows up (especially for ADHD brains), what's actually going on when it feels impossible to cross the finish line, and two powerful mindset shifts that can help you finally finish — or give yourself permission to pause — without guilt or burnout. You'll learn: Why the last 5% of a task feels so hard to finish — and how ADHD brains get stuck in the "almost done" loop The five hidden challenges that make completing projects feel overwhelming (even when you're this close) Two ADHD-friendly ways to redefine what "done" really means — without relying on perfection or burnout Work With Me:

Every day in business and life, we make hundreds of decisions, both big and small. If you've ever wondered how to choose what truly matters when everything feels important, this episode is for you. I'm unpacking exactly how I make choices in my business and life from a place of clarity, confidence, and alignment (without burnout or guilt).Today's episode was inspired by an audience question about how to decide what to say yes to when so many things feel worthy of our attention. I walk through the internal process I use, from defining priorities and identifying seasons to journaling, praying, and even sleeping on decisions before choosing. I share personal stories about opportunities I passed on because they weren't aligned with where I was going or the season I was in, and how those choices shaped who I'm becoming.In this Episode:Explore a framework for choosing what truly mattersHear questions to ask yourself before saying yesA mindset shift that removes perfection and replaces it with directionFind It Quickly0:59 - Listener's Question: What to Focus On?02:52 - Personal Stories: Making Tough Choices07:30 - Defining Priorities and Values19:19 - Practical Steps for Decision MakingIf you're enjoying the content we're creating on the podcast and want to connect with others who are called to both, make sure you come join us in the PhotoBoss® with Joy Michelle Facebook Group!
