In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf (by Healthy Mind by Avik™), we explore a simple truth: sometimes the best healing tool isn't control—it's presence. Veterinarian and molecular biologist Jeff Feinman shares how his own experience with chronic symptoms reshaped the way he sees “clinical signs” in animals. This conversation is for pet parents who feel anxious when something seems off, and for anyone tired of quick fixes. You'll learn a calmer framework for supporting your pet's wellbeing through presence, acceptance, patience, and trust—plus a practical way to track progress that goes beyond fear and urgency. About the Guest: Jeff Feinman is a veterinarian and molecular biologist who integrates conventional veterinary training with holistic approaches like homeopathy and energetic perspectives. He's the author of an upcoming book on pet wellness and teaches through his platform HolisticActions.com. Episode Chapter: 00:03:10 — A new definition of pet wellness: healing through presence 00:04:37 — Jeff's turning point: symptoms as signals, not “problems” 00:07:19 — The “fixer mindset” and why it keeps us stuck 00:09:18 — How our stress shapes our pet's nervous system and behavior 00:12:52 — Pets as teachers of the present moment 00:13:49 — The PATH framework: Presence, Acceptance, Trust, Health 00:17:03 — BEAM check-in: Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood Key Takeaways: Shift from “remove the symptom fast” to “support balance over time.” Use PATH: Presence, patience, perseverance + Acceptance + Trust → Health. When your pet is anxious, regulate your breathing first—slow and steady. Track healing with BEAM: Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood (early signals matter). Let pets lead you into the present moment—play, nature, connection, stillness. Don't fight what's happening; work with it and watch for gradual improvement.

Increased federal immigration agents in parts of Minnesota has had ripple effects that are affecting child care. Some child care centers are reporting drops in attendance as families keep children home out of fear. And, staff members are strained as they worry about their own safety.  MPR News host Angela Davis is joined by early childhood education reporter Kyra Miles to talk about how the increase of federal immigration agents is affecting the child care industry and children, families and child care workers. Guests:Kimberli Benhoff is the program director of Rise Early Learning Center in St. Louis Park.Tiffany Taylor is a teacher at South Metro Childcare Academy in Bloomington. 

In this episode, we perceive a decision in the making, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 191, penned by Orodakathu Kantharathanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse relays a sense of protection and care. அத்தப் பாதிரித் துய்த் தலைப் புது வீஎரி இதழ் அலரியொடு இடை பட விரைஇ,வெண்தோட்டு தொடுத்த வண்டு படு கண்ணி,தோல் புதை சிரற்று அடி, கோலுடை உமணர்ஊர் கண்டன்ன ஆரம் வாங்கி,அருஞ் சுரம் இவர்ந்த அசைவு இல் நோன் தாள்திருந்து பகட்டு இயம்பும் கொடு மணி, புரிந்து அவர்மடி விடு வீளையொடு, கடிது எதிர் ஓடி,ஓமை அம் பெருங் காட்டு வரூஉம் வம்பலர்க்குஏமம் செப்பும் என்றூழ் நீள் இடை,அரும் பொருள் நசைஇ, பிரிந்து உறை வல்லி,சென்று, வினை எண்ணுதிஆயின், நன்றும்,உரைத்திசின் வாழி என் நெஞ்சே! ”நிரை முகைமுல்லை அருந்தும் மெல்லிய ஆகி,அறல் என விரிந்த உறல் இன் சாயல்ஒலி இருங் கூந்தல் தேறும்” என,வலிய கூறவும் வல்லையோ, மற்றே? We perceive some interesting sights in this trip to the drylands, as we listen to the man, say these words to his heart, at a time when his heart is nudging him to part away from the lady, and go in search of wealth: “Bee-swarming garlands, woven with new, coarse-haired trumpet flowers from the drylands, in the hue of fire, interspersed with white flowers of the pandanus, are worn by salt merchants, who hold on to rods and wear leather slippers that resound when walking, and they arrive in huge groups, as if seeing a town entire, directing their wagons through the formidable drylands. The sound of loud bells that resound as their wield their bulls, moving with a determined effort that knows no fatigue, along with their long whistles, rushes in the opposite direction, and conveys a message of protection to those new travellers, who are treading the huge jungles, filled with toothbrush trees. If you wish to traverse those scorching long paths, desiring for that hard-to-attain wealth, and think you have the strength to live apart, and are contemplating parting away, that's good, my heart! Long may you live! But you have to go and tell her, “O gentle maiden, who wears fully bloomed wild jasmine flowers on your dark, luxuriant tresses, soft to touch, spreading like black sand, you have to console yourself!” Do you have the strength to speak such strong words, O heart?” Let’s take in the sights and sounds of the sweltering drylands! The man starts by bringing before our eyes, garlands, worn by a specific group of people, the salt merchants, and these are said to be woven both with flowers of the coast, from where these salt merchants are coming, namely the white, pandanus flowers, as well as the flowers of the drylands that they are treading, the red, trumpet flowers. Then, attention is drawn to the kind of footwear these merchants wear, and the sounds these make, as well as the rods they are carrying in their hands. He talks about how seeing a group of them was like seeing a town entire. After focusing on the vision of their appearance, the man turns his attention to the sounds they emit, such as the loud bells on their sturdy bulls that know no tiredness, as well as their way of communicating through long whistles. He has mentioned these sounds to say that hearing their sounds was the only source of comfort for the anxious wayfarers crossing the drylands jungle and these sounds relayed to them the presence of a group of people, who will extend their protection in a moment of trouble. After depicting the sense of danger in the drylands in this manner, the man now turns to his heart and asks, ‘Is this where you want me to leave? You think you can live apart from the lady and go towards this mission?’. He answers himself, saying to his heart, ‘Well and good. But there’s something you must do. And that is you must go and tell this news to the beautiful, delicate lady with jasmine-clad, silt-like tresses and ask her to console herself. The man ends by asking his heart whether it had the strength to go speak such painful words to the lady. Another case of separating the heart from oneself to gain some perspective. Here, the man tends towards not leaving in search of wealth as he wishes not to bring pain to his beloved. Even though there are notes of danger and anxiety, the tone that rises above it all is the sense of caring for one another, be it in the way the sounds of the salt merchants comfort the troubled wayfarers or the man’s empathy for the lady’s pain at his parting. In a way, the verse echoes a core philosophy that the social wealth that arises out of this thoughtfulness and care for others, is of much greater value than even mounds of material wealth!

In this message from the Greater series, Pastor Danny de Armas shares how God provides everything we need so we can live with open hands and open hearts. Looking at 2 Corinthians 9:10, we're reminded that God not only supplies what we have but also multiplies it when we choose to give. Every gift becomes an opportunity for God to shape our lives and influence the lives of others across Central Florida. Through stories of real impact and a call to trust God's provision, this message encourages us to see generosity as a way to join what God is already doing in our community and to experience the joy that comes when our faith grows beyond addition and into multiplication.

Adrienne dives deep into identity evolution — the internal transformation required for women to lead companies at the highest levels. This episode explains why every bottleneck begins with identity and how to step into the version of yourself that can confidently scale your business. Key Takeaways: Identity shapes decisions, leadership, boundaries, and standards. Old identities (overachiever, fixer, martyr) cannot scale a company. Your next level requires emotional regulation, self-authority, and boundaries. The future CEO version of you is already within you — she just needs permission. Identity is chosen daily through behavior and standards. What You'll Learn: The 5 outdated identities holding women back What the highest version of a CEO actually looks like The seven pillars of a powerful CEO identity How to shift into your next-level version How identity shapes company culture and revenue

Pressure culture did not begin in your company.It began somewhere earlier.In this episode, we slow down and trace leadership stress back to attachment patterns, early responsibility, and the emotional climate of home. Not to analyze. Not to diagnose. Simply to notice.Many driven, high-performing leaders assume urgency is part of their personality. But often, urgency is learned. It was adaptive. It reduced chaos. It stabilized rooms. It protected connection. And what protected you early in life can quietly become the atmosphere you transmit at work.This is not a conversation about productivity or performance optimization. It is not a new leadership tactic.This is identity-level recalibration.In this episode, we gently explore questions such as:• Who carried anxiety in your home growing up?• Who held everything together?• What did love feel like — steady, conditional, earned through responsibility?• Where did urgency first feel necessary?For many leaders who have been in long-term committed relationships, these patterns have surfaced again. Marriage and decade-long partnerships often reveal attachment dynamics we did not see in childhood. Not because something is wrong, but because intimacy exposes what leadership can hide.Workplace culture often mirrors attachment patterns at home. If love once felt connected to performance, leadership may feel fused with responsibility. If stability required vigilance, leadership may default to hyper-responsibility. If chaos decreased when you increased, you may still increase automatically.This episode moves from unconscious repetition to conscious presence.Not to rewrite your past.Not to blame your story.But to integrate it.Because what is learned can be unlearned. Not erased. Integrated.Key takeaways:• Urgency is often inherited, not invented.• Leadership stress may be attachment stress resurfacing.• Compassion increases when you recognize adaptation instead of labeling it flaw.• You are not your survival strategy.• Culture at work mirrors nervous system patterns formed at home.We do not rush to resolution here. Recognition precedes repair. Presence precedes change.Micro Recalibration:Pause and ask yourself gently:Where did urgency first feel necessary?Let a memory surface without analysis.Then say quietly:That was then.

Have you ever hit a big milestone and still felt… off? You closed the deal. You reached the revenue goal. You hit the number you've been chasing. On paper, everything looks solid. But internally? Something feels slightly empty. In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into three of the ten alignments from our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N system — the framework I use to systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. Those three are: Loving Relationships Mindful Spirituality Abundance Financially These are just 3 out of the 10 alignments, but they are powerful ones. When even one of these is out of whack, you can feel it. When all three are aligned, life hits different. Let's start with loving relationships. You can build an incredible business, but if your marriage is strained, your kids feel distant, or your friendships are surface-level, it will eventually catch up with you. Relationships are not a bonus category. They are foundational. I share the L.O.V.E.R. framework to help navigate adversity in relationships: Listen. Observe. Voice. Empathize. Repair. Most people skip listening and jump straight to defending. But communication isn't just about words. It's tone. Body language. Energy. Presence. If you want a ten in your relationship, you've got to be a ten. Then we move into mindful spirituality. This isn't about religion or rigid rules. It's about connection to something bigger than your to-do list, your ego, or your quarterly targets. When you feel spiritually disconnected, everything feels heavier. You operate from stress, urgency, and control. But when you intentionally create stillness, you regain perspective. I use the reminder C.I.T.S. — Chill In The Still. Sit down. Get quiet. Reflect. Pray. Meditate. Breathe. Even a few intentional minutes of stillness per day can shift your nervous system and your clarity. Stillness builds inner strength. Gratitude. Confidence. When you are spiritually grounded, you don't chase, you align. Now let's talk about abundance financially. Abundance isn't just about making more money. It's about how you make it and who you become in the process. Over the years, I've used a simple framework called R.O.A.D.M.A.P. to generate millions in revenue, often in 45-minute Zoom calls. Not because I'm special, but because the system is aligned. R.O.A.D.M.A.P. stands for: Rapport Obstacle Aspiration Demonstration Match Ask Pull First, build rapport. Real connection. Trust.Then understand the obstacle. What problem are they trying to solve? Next, aspiration. What outcome do they truly want? Then demonstrate. Show proof. Testimonials. Real results. Match is critical. It has to be a fit both ways. I've worked with misaligned clients before and the money is never worth the stress. Then ask clearly. And finally, pull, not push. Ethical urgency. Honest scarcity. Invitation instead of pressure. Money should not cost you your peace. It should amplify your impact. It should allow you to provide, give, invest, and grow without sacrificing your integrity. Money magnifies who you already are. If you're grounded in strong relationships and spiritual alignment, money expands that. If you're disconnected, it amplifies that too. At the end of the day, fulfillment isn't built in one big achievement. It's built in daily alignment. How you love your people. How you connect to something greater than yourself. How you steward and multiply your resources with integrity. These three alignments are just part of the ten. But if you dial them in, everything else starts to rise with them. Pause. Reflect. Realign. That's how you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. That's how you truly put the HAPPY in your HUSTLE. Connect with Cary!

Today, our first letter comes from Ian in Memphis:  Ian loves building beautiful spaces, but the conflict-heavy nature of his industry leaves him avoiding hard conversations—sometimes even walking away from being paid. He asks how to face conflict directly, set boundaries, and stay authentic without people-pleasing or losing his creative spirit. Our next letter comes from Neysa:  After years of personal healing, Neysa feels destabilized when returning to a family system still caught in toxic, unconscious patterns. She asks how to remain balanced and choose love in those environments—and whether true resolution always means change in others. Next, in the guided meditation, Michael leads us inward to remember our innate freedom and oneness with the Presence. ✨ What's your Life Question?

In Part Two of Be Where You Are: Leadership, Caregiving, and the Courage to Pause, Carla Davis reflects on a transformative year away from executive leadership—one shaped by caregiving, reflection, and rediscovering her deeper purpose.  What began as a pause became a profound reaffirmation of calling.  Carla shares how stepping out of the day-to-day demands of leadership gave her clarity around stewardship, alignment, and the responsibility to use her gifts—leadership and mercy—with intention and courage.Drawing from her personal experience navigating a fragmented healthcare system while caring for her mother, Carla offers an unfiltered look at the gaps in care coordination—and the urgent opportunity hospice and end-of-life leaders have to model something better.  Innovation, she argues, isn't just about big ideas.  It's about tighter coordination, presence, responsiveness, and getting the fundamentals right—because in hospice, we only get one chance to do it well.At the heart of this conversation is a simple yet powerful leadership mandate: Be where You Are.  In a distracted, high-pressure world, Carla reminds healthcare leaders that presence is the ultimate act of service.  Whether leading teams, caring for patients, or mentoring the next generation, the future of hospice depends on leaders who choose to fill their time with purpose.5 Key TakeawaysClarity Comes in the Pause – Stepping away from leadership can reinforce—not redefine—your purpose and calling.Alignment Drives Leadership Effectiveness – Leaders are at their best when their strengths, values, and roles are aligned.Healthcare's Greatest Innovation is Coordination – True transformation in hospice and healthcare begins with connected, responsive care—not just big, disruptive ideas.Presence is Leadership – “Be where you are.” The most powerful leadership moments often come from simple, undistracted presence.Legacy is Leadership Multiplication – You're not truly a leader until you've developed leaders who develop leaders.Guest: Carla Davis, Executive in Residence for Cressey and CompanyHost: Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TELEIOSTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast

In 2007, while serving with the British Army in Germany, one soldier was assigned a routine task in the cellar of an aging barracks — a former Luftwaffe station dating back to the Second World War.The underground layout was identical in every building: a long concrete corridor, heavy metal doors, fluorescent lights buzzing against thick, shadowed walls. It was old, but it was familiar. Until it wasn't.Alone at the far end of the corridor, the atmosphere shifted without warning. The air grew heavy. Silence pressed in. And he was struck with the unmistakable certainty that he was no longer by himself.What happened next sent him running for the stairs — something no training had ever prepared him for.Years later, one question still lingers: Was that cellar empty at all?#RealGhostStories #HauntedBarracks #Hauntings #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedGermany #MilitaryGhostStory #TrueParanormal #UnexplainedCold #Paranormal #UnexplainedPhenomenaLove real ghost stories?

Nervous system leadership becomes essential when pressure and stress quietly shape team culture. If you feel responsible for the emotional tone of every room, this isn't a leadership flaw. It may be identity-level misalignment, not lack of strength.Most leaders try to fix culture with strategy.But culture is shaped long before strategy is spoken.In this episode, we explore nervous system leadership — not as theory, but as lived practice. If you've ever felt exhausted from carrying the emotional climate of your team, or confused about why tension returns even when results are strong, this conversation will meet you.This episode reinforces a simple truth:You cannot control every nervous system in the room.But you absolutely influence the tone that enters it.This is not about becoming softer.It is about becoming steadier.And steadiness is not passive. It is regulated intensity. Controlled momentum. Grounded authority.In Season 4, we are walking through the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway — moving from recognition, to release, to reclamation, and now to reinforcement. Reinforcement is where awareness becomes pattern. Where hope becomes embodied leadership.In this conversation, we explore:• Why burnout in leadership often stems from over-transmitting urgency• How pressure culture forms through shared stress responses• The difference between implied urgency and stated standards• Why many high-capacity humans became the “thermostat” long before they became leaders• How one embodied pause before entering a room can begin reshaping cultureIdentity-Level Recalibration is not another productivity tactic.It is not performance optimization.It is not a communication hack.If you've ever wondered:Why does my team mirror my stress?Why does culture feel tense even when goals are clear?Why am I tired of being the strongest nervous system in every room?You're not broken.You may simply be reinforcing patterns you learned long before you were leading.Reinforcement is hopeful because culture is responsive. Not instant. But responsive. Consistency builds trust. Steadiness compounds.Today's Micro Recalibration:Before your next interaction, pause and ask, “Am I about to transmit urgency — or steadiness?” Take one full breath. Name expectations clearly.

Barbara McAfee, voice coach and author, explores how your voice carries early silence, family secrecy, cultural training, and unrealised gifts in the body, and how working directly with sound can restore range, authority, and emotional truth. Barbara is a voice coach, author, speaker, and performer, with over 30 years of experience helping people unlock their full voice through practical vocal techniques and tools for authentic, flexible self expression. In this episode, Lian and Barbara, explore voice as the muscle of the soul, something physical and behavioural that reveals where we have been silenced, where we adapted, and where we still hold unused range - not just vocal but all kinds of aspects of us. Barbara reflects on growing up as a secret keeper, how silence shaped her early sound, and how her voice expanded beyond what she believed possible through the Roy Hart lineage. Together they consider archetypes as living forces, energies looking for a job, and how older cultures worked with them through ritual, invocation, and sound. They look at the Five Elements as a living map of vocal expression, how earth, fire, water, metal, and air each carry distinct qualities in the body, and how landscape, gender, and class shape which of these we are permitted to use. Lian offers herself as a live example, including how partial deafness affects volume and self perception, before they experiment with laughter, yawns, and the awkward freedom of taking up more sonic space than feels polite. Listen if you notice your voice shifting depending on who you are with, like you become softer with authority, sharper with family, or uncertain about how loud you really are, and wonder what your truest, fullest expression might be.

What you'll learn from this episode: Why suppressed parts of you often show up as missing range, pitch, or volume in the voice How landscape, culture, and gender subtly train which vocal qualities feel safe to use What happens when you treat voice as a set of movable elements rather than a fixed identity Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Barbara's Website Join Barbara on: YouTube Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Watch Barbara's TEDx talks: Bringing Your Full Voice to Life How Oral Tradition Singing Helps Us Work & Live Better Together Listen to Barbara's audiobooks: Full Voice for Leaders: Cultivating Vitality, Presence, and Impact in a Changing World  (soon to be renamed Vocal Intelligence) 2025 Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence, 2011 Barbara's paperbacks: Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence Vocal Intelligence: Leading with Vitality, Presence, and Impact (coming in Spring of 2026) Bandcamp: A catalogue of Barbara's original music Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

For a long time, alcohol felt like it was helping me survive.I didn't realize what it was costing me until much later.In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I talk honestly about what alcohol took from me — not in dramatic headlines or recovery slogans, but in the quiet, cumulative ways that matter most. Time. Presence. Sleep. Relationships. Clarity. The ability to actually be there for my life.I share my story of drinking through trauma, military service, paramedic work, loss, grief, and burnout, and the moment I finally had to look at where alcohol had taken me. Rehab wasn't a reset button. Sobriety wasn't instant relief. For a long time, it was harder before it got better.This episode isn't about judging drinking or preaching sobriety. It's about honesty. About the lie that sobriety is boring. About the reality that alcohol doesn't just numb pain — it quietly steals parts of your life you don't realize you're giving up.We talk about:What alcohol took from me before I noticedDrinking as a response to trauma and PTSDRehab, detox, and the loss of perceived controlWhy sobriety isn't boring and what it actually gives backGrief, loss, and staying sober through devastating momentsTherapy vs AA and finding what actually works for youLearning how to be present for relationships, family, and everyday lifeToday, I'm sober. I'm not perfect. I'm not inspirational. But I'm present. I'm healthier. And I have a life I would not recognize if I were still drinking.If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol, thinking about sobriety, supporting someone in recovery, or just tired of hearing the same shallow conversations about addiction — this episode is for you.alcohol recovery, sobriety story, quitting drinking, life after alcohol, addiction recovery podcast, veteran sobriety, first responder addiction, PTSD and alcohol, rehab experience, sober life, recovery without AA, mental health and addiction

Nervous system regulation in leadership becomes critical when pressure and confusion quietly shape team culture. If your presence feels heavier than you intend, this isn't failure. It may be identity-level misalignment, not lack of skill.You've likely felt it before.You walk into a room tense, and the room tightens.You walk in steady, and something shifts.Conversations soften.People breathe.Thinking expands.This episode explores nervous system regulation in leadership — not as theory, but as lived reality.In Season 4, we're walking the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway slowly and relationally. This week, we've recognized tension and released shame. Today, we reclaim something powerful:Your regulation is not softness.It is infrastructure.For high-capacity leaders, urgency often feels productive. Tightness feels sharp. Speed feels strong. But over time, pressure can quietly become culture. Not because you lack character. Because your nervous system learned to equate vigilance with safety.And what shaped your nervous system long before you shaped your team?Most high-capacity leaders did not inherit steadiness. They became it.Culture is not only defined by strategy, vision statements, or KPIs. Culture is a shared autonomic state. It is what nervous systems do together. When a leader is braced, others brace. When a leader is steady, others settle.Identity-Level Recalibration is not mindset work.It is not performance optimization.It is not about becoming more impressive.In this episode, we explore:• Why your nervous system shapes leadership relationships more than you realize• The hidden confusion high achievers feel when steadiness seems “too soft”• How burnout and pressure culture often stem from inherited vigilance• Why regulation is not passivity, but grounded authority• How reclaiming your steadiness changes team culture without announcementsThis is about orientation before resolution.Recognition before reaction.Embodiment before instruction.If you've ever wondered why your team mirrors your mood — this conversation will help you see clearly without turning on yourself.Today's Micro Recalibration:Before your next interaction, take one steady breath.

Hard sessions. Long days.But there is a quieter question beneath the grind.What if the same drive building your body and career is quietly eroding the relationships you care about most?In Ep. 126, Bryce sits with former CrossFit Games athlete, master coach educator, Street Parking coach, and founder of The Father's Guild, Pat Barber.This is not just a fitness conversation.It is about identity beyond competition.Leadership inside the home.Fatherhood as craft.Success without relational drift.Pat's evolution from elite competitor to mentor of coaches to architect of fathers offers a grounded lens on performance and presence. Together, Bryce and Pat explore how to pursue excellence without sacrificing connection and how strength is ultimately measured by the stability of the lives we build around us.⸻Themes exploredCompeting versus contributingCoaching as stewardshipFatherhood as daily repsIdentity beyond achievementPresence in a distracted cultureBuilding strong homes and bodiesEmotional regulation in leadershipMentorship in fitnessLegacy through family impact⸻Key takeawaysPerformance without presence carries hidden costTraining discipline can transfer into family lifeChildren model behavior more than adviceLeadership begins with self regulationFatherhood requires intention and skillLegacy is built in ordinary momentsStrength shows in consistency across life domains⸻Memorable quotes“You can win on the floor and still lose at home.”“The real scoreboard is the trust of your family.”“Fatherhood is practiced daily, not claimed once.”“Coaching is stewardship.”“Presence is the highest form of love.”“Children inherit habits before words.”“Legacy is built in the living room.”⸻Why this mattersModern culture measures visible success.Performance.

Fasting isn't a diet or a formula, and it definitely isn't a way to get God to do what you want. In this personal episode, Cara opens up about her recent experience with prayer and fasting and shares how what began as a search for answers led to something deeper- intimacy with God. If you're hungry for more of Him, pull up a chair and lean in with us. Grab your Bible, a pencil, and maybe even a cup of coffee as we write this down.Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show?

What if influence doesn't come from proving yourself — but from being seen?In this episode, Yo sits down with leadership coach and founder of Lead Out Loud, Sara Anderson, to explore why so many capable women leaders feel like they're acting their way through success.From imposter syndrome and perfectionism to nervous system triggers in high-stakes conversations, Sara explains how leaders often adapt themselves into a version that works… but no longer feels like them.And the surprising truth?The more we perform, the less influence we actually have.This conversation blends emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and lived leadership experience into a powerful reframe:You don't become influential by becoming more impressive.You become influential when you become more present.In This Episode We Talk About:Why many women leaders feel they're performing instead of leadingThe hidden role of shame underneath imposter syndrome and overworkingHow perfectionism protects us — but also disconnects usWhat's happening in your brain during fight, flight, or freezeThe space between stimulus and response — and where leadership livesHow “polishing” yourself can reduce influenceMoving from comparison → collaborationThe power of being seen in process, not just in polishWhy connection — not impressiveness — builds real leadershipA Key TakeawayMany leadership programs teach communication strategies first.But you can't use strategy when your body thinks you're in danger.Real influence starts internally — by recognizing triggers, calming the nervous system, and allowing others to see you as human.When leaders stop performing, they gain presence.Memorable Quotes“Perfectionism isn't protecting you from shame — it's a function of shame.”“You can't override the animal body you live in.”“If you wait until you know everything, you'll get left behind.”“People are drawn to those who no longer feel shame about their story.”“Be yourself — the world will adjust.”Sara's Advice to Her 20-Something SelfStop trying to be impressive.Let people see you in process.Connection — not polish — moves your life forward.Resources from SaraFree Resource: Influence Audit (AI-guided self-assessment)

We all have that one friend who we sprint to when we need a breakup text drafted, spruce up our vanilla cover letter, or edit a flimsy apology, because we know how much words carry weight. They're spells. Today, Lois Mac, THE word wizard who focuses on strategic communication layered with uncensored expression, comes on to help humans stop performing expression and start saying the damn thing.Lois reminds us:When you lose your words, you lose yourself. Lois built her entire identity around language, then moved to a small Costa Rican town after having her first baby, surrounded by people who spoke only Spanish, and the woman who always had the right words suddenly had none... what she couldn't have known then is that was entirely the point.The creative elephant never forgets. When you're not saying the real thing, every piece of content, every project, every newsletter becomes a hostage to it; your creativity doesn't leave, it just sits in the corner, arms crossed, waiting.Trying harder is a one-way ticket to the void. The void is a compass that shows up when you've drifted so far from yourself you're basically a human LinkedIn post, arriving not to destroy you but to say: come back to your actual voice.Write the unsendable thing. A daily writing practice that's purely for you (no feed, algorithm, or audience) is where your public voice quietly gets built.Presence beats vocabulary every time. Deep, juicy, family-level friendships are built on showing up, staying in the room after saying the wrong thing, and learning to laugh at yourself, not perfect sentence structure.This conversation is for those in the middle of identity shapeshifting, multi-lingual multi-hyphenates, who need a permission slip to say the thing you've been swallowing. She gives us a gentle but firm reminder that the most radical creative act available to you right now is NOT the next launch, the next rebrand, or the next post — it's just being the person who's already here.Connect with Lois:Writing Wildly Retreats: a full writing immersion in the Costa Rican jungle where your most important writing finally gets to breathe (enrolling for June + Sept 2026, mention how you found it in the application!)Creative Living App: the app that turns your instinct to consume into a desire to createSweet Talk: A creative business uprising disguised as 4 months of writing, copy + messaging mentorshipSubstack: The Smoking AreaInstagramConnect with Chelsea:

One of my college roommates is heading to Canton.That sentence still feels surreal.When I first met Larry Fitzgerald on his visit to the University of Pittsburgh, I had no idea I was meeting a future Hall of Famer. I just knew he had presence. Not hype. Not ego. Presence.When he arrived at training camp, the coaches quietly pulled me aside and asked me to help him learn the offense. What I didn't fully grasp at the time was what they already knew: he wasn't just there to compete. He was there to take over.And it took about two weeks.But here's what most people miss about Larry's story. Yes, he could high-point a football like nobody I've seen in 25 years around major college football. Yes, he tracked the deep ball with the instincts of a center fielder tracking a line drive into the gap. Yes, he could manipulate defensive backs, adjust stride length mid-route, and finish through contact with late, violent hands.But that's not what made him an All American at Pitt.It was how he saw the game — and his life — from the beginning.So in the latest Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding partner 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat it's just me, celebrating him.My 1st lesson from him.During the first game of his freshman year he, like the rest of us at Pitt, wore a suit and tie to the game. That was the rule our head coach, Walt Harris, mandated. I think we all liked it as it felt like a business trip. But postgame everyone was changing into warm-ups to leave the stadium.I noticed that Larry started to put his suit back on.I quickly told him that he doesn't have to. He looked at me and said, at least this is how I remember it, “Yogi, they're going to know what I'm about from the jump.”That wasn't bravado. It was clarity.He came to college with a vision. Not just to be great at Pitt. Not just to make the league. But to be a pro — in habits, discipline, preparation, relationships. Small things, All things as the phrase goes.Larry grew up around it. His father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr., covered sports in Minnesota. As a kid, Larry was a ball boy around legends and he saw how pros moved, trained and most importantly how they treated everyone around them. By the time he arrived on campus, Larry Fitzgerald wasn't dreaming. He was executing.Talent Is Everywhere. Discipline Is Rare.I've been around Elite 11 quarterbacks for nearly two decades. I've been a broadcaster for 19 years and a coach for 4. Point being — I've seen first-round talent up close. Natural ability is not rare at that level.What's rare is clarity.Larry didn't drink. Didn't party. Had a tight circle. Was early to bed. Lived in the film room. Lived in the weight room. And that playlist was on repeat daily.I remember visiting him during the season when he was with the Arizona Cardinals. It was 8:00 PM and he said, “You can hang out, I'm going to bed.”Why?“I'm trying to be my best.”That's it. No drama. No speech. Just alignment between what he dreamt of and how he lived.When he decided to leave Pitt early for the NFL, I asked him if he'd considered coming back. He reframed it in a way that's stayed with me forever: if a surgeon is offered his dream job early, he goes. If a musician gets the gig of a lifetime, she goes. He was a wide receiver being offered his dream.He wasn't chasing status. He was honoring preparation.Playing Through LossDuring spring practice after his freshman season practice stopped and Larry left. News spread that his mom had passed away.I didn't know then what that kind of loss felt like. I do now.What I remember most wasn't just the grief — it was how he channeled it. He played for her. He carried her smile. He allowed the pain to sharpen his focus, not shrink his world. Or so it seemed. I know there was a lot of pain and I imagine that playing with his teammates allowed him to navigate through it. At least all of us hoped that we helped him out in the smallest of ways. After all, that's what teammates do. And our roster was extremely close.Looking back he taught me a powerful lesson that season: that there's a difference between playing for applause and playing with purpose. After he lost his Mom, it felt like Larry was playing for something deeper that just touchdowns and wins.And it showed.The Infinite GameRecently, I watched him receive his Hall of Fame invitation and greet Randy Moss — another all-time great. There was a knowing smile between them. A shared understanding of what it takes to get there.But when I think of Larry, I don't first think of Pro Bowl's or a Super Bowl run. I think of the freshman who chose the suit. The teammate who made everyone feel seen. The competitor who handed, or threw, the ball to officials after touchdowns like it was part of his joy.He played an infinite game.Not just to win on Saturdays.Not just to dominate on Sundays.But to become.He became one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.He became the greatest teammate I ever had.He became a father whose eldest son is now headed to University of Notre Dame to chase his own dream.And in a few months he officially becomes a Hall of Famer.I've never been to Canton before.This summer, I'll go.Not just to celebrate a gold jacket.But to honor the habits.The discipline.The clarity.The compassion.Larry Fitzgerald didn't just achieve greatness.He decided on it — early — and then lived accordingly.And if there's one lesson in his story for any young athlete, entrepreneur, artist, or dreamer reading this, it's simple:* Be clear about what you're about. * Be truly confident around what Matters Most* Then let your daily discipline make it undeniable.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

We continue our look back at some of the most noteworthy and interesting horror films of 2025 (#2025stillalive) with an examination of Steven Soderbergh's unconventional haunted family drama, PRESENCE. Shown entirely from the perspective of a mysterious entity moving among them, Presence displays the escalating tensions of a family as they settle into a new home. As tensions escalate between the nuclear family members, and pressures begin to boil from both internal and external conflicts, the titular presence watches them all. Who, or what, is this presence? Why is it here? What does it want or need? And in what ways, if any, will it be able to affect the fate of this family?We're joined by FoGger friends both new and old -- Nicole Amato, Will Frank, and (making his debut) Mike Runyon -- to discuss the film's fascinating thematic interests about time, connection, regret, grief, fear, outrage, and (possibly) redemption. It's a fascinating film and an even more fascinating conversation. Also featuring a Patron-only segment where Nathan is joined by Nicole Amato and (also making his debut) Josh Heake to discuss STRANGER THINGS, Season 5, Episode 6, this is a hearty and lively conversation that we really hope you enjoy.4:26 - Two Questions with Mike Runyon12:04 - Whatcha Playin'?Patron Only Segment: STRANGER THINGS, Season 5, Episode 628:31 - PRESENCESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This past Sunday, Pastor Rheva continued the series Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio? by helping us reflect on why the church exists—and why gathering actually matters. Throughout Scripture, God does not save individuals in isolation; He forms a people for the sake of the world. Our faith was never meant to be lived alone.She shared that the church exists to host God's presence, form God's people, and participate in God's renewal of the world.Here are the core “whys” Pastor Rheva walked us through:Worship + PresenceTeaching + The WordFormation + DiscipleshipCommunity + BelongingCare + HealingUnity + ReconciliationMission + WitnessAs this series continues, Studio's prayer is that the church would not simply be something people attend—but a people they become: gathered around Jesus, anchored in truth, formed in love, walking in unity, and sent for the sake of the world.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Did you grow up in a home where emotional truth wasn't safe? Were you raised by an alcoholic or narcissistic parent, or in a family where compliance mattered more than authenticity? Many adult children from dysfunctional homes learn at a subconscious level that it's safer to stay quiet, suppress feelings, and abandon themselves than to risk conflict, punishment, or abandonment. Over time, this conditioning leads to survival patterns like codependency, people-pleasing, fawning, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the transformative power of the heart. While often thought of as a mechanical pump, the heart is one unified muscle that moves like a vortex. When we live in fear or chronic stress, the heart contracts—wringing out peace, self-love, harmony, and creativity. Healing begins when we take our power back by shifting attention away from external chaos and returning to the heart space. Presence softens contraction. Safety restores flow. And love expands when we stop living in survival mode. If this episode resonates, you're warmly invited to explore the Private Breakthrough Warrior Membership—a supportive healing space I created to offer the tools, teachings, and community I wish I had during my own awakening. Inside, you'll find guided programs, journaling workbooks, meditations, monthly mini-courses, and access to years of live group coaching—designed to help you reconnect with yourself and heal at your own pace. You don't have to do this alone.

She never believed the incidents were connected. Houses make noise. Children misplace things. With six kids, chaos was normal, and coincidence was easier than meaning.But when the family moved, the disturbances moved too.Different towns. Different houses. Each time, the quiet would hold for a while. Then it would begin again — coins striking walls from empty hallways, deliberate knocks at four in the morning, footsteps overhead where no one stood. Once, a pair of tiny black boots appeared years after she had thrown them away in another county.The activity came in waves. Silence. Then escalation. What unsettled her most wasn't what happened inside the houses. It was the realization that nothing stayed behind when they left.Whatever it was didn't belong to the walls. It belonged to them.#HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #TrueGhostStory #ShadowFigure #FollowedHome #SupernaturalEncounter #PoltergeistActivity #UnexplainedPhenomena #HauntedFamily #RealParanormal #GhostStory #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?
