In this episode I am once again joined by Mary Shutan: author, occultist, and spiritual teacher. Mary explains her activities as a modern spirit worker, reveals how to form and maintain working relationships with spirits, details the difference between spirit pacts and contracts, and warns about the unintended consequences of making deals with unknown beings. Mary explores the problems associated with using the word “shaman”, offers a critique of modern shamanism training courses, and explains why many people who pursue shamanism would be better suited to a religious orientation to animism. Mary also reveals her own aborted attempt at the infamous Abramelin ritual, details the resultant fallout and years of recovery, and reflects on the impact of magickal practice on mental and physical health. … Full episode link in bio.

The Author Events Series presents Rhodri Lewis  | Shakespeare's Tragic Art REGISTER In Conversation with Emily Wilson In Shakespeare's Tragic Art, Rhodri Lewis offers a powerfully original reassessment of tragedy as Shakespeare wrote it-of what drew him toward tragic drama, what makes his tragedies distinctive, and why they matter. After reconstructing tragic theory and practice as Shakespeare and his contemporaries knew them, Lewis considers in detail each of Shakespeare's tragedies from Titus Andronicus to Coriolanus. He argues that these plays are a series of experiments whose greatness lies in their author's nerve-straining determination to represent the experience of living in a world that eludes rational analysis. They explore not just our inability to know ourselves as we would like to, but the compensatory and generally unacknowledged fictions to which we bind ourselves in our hunger for meaning-from the political, philosophical, social, and religious to the racial, sexual, personal, and familial. Lewis's Shakespeare not only creates tragedies that exceed those written before them. Through his art, he also affirms and invigorates the kinds of knowing that are available to intelligent animals like us. A major reevaluation of Shakespeare's tragedies, Shakespeare's Tragic Art is essential reading for anyone interested in Shakespeare, tragedy, or the capacity of literature to help us navigate the perplexities of the human condition. After many years at the University of Oxford, Rhodri Lewis moved to Princeton in 2018-where he teaches English and comparative literature. His new book, Shakespeare's Tragic Art, was a New Yorker Book of the Year for 2024, and for the duration of the 2025-26 academic year he will be a Guggenheim Fellow. Previous books include Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness (Princeton UP 2017) and Language, Mind, and Nature: Artificial Languages in England from Bacon to Locke (Cambridge UP 2007). He is now at work on two projects: a biography of the great literary critic Frank Kermode, and a new edition (and translation) of Francis Bacon's Wisdom of the Ancients. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast.

Are your phone habits impacting your child’s growth? We all know kids and screens don’t mix well—but what about parents and screens? A compelling new study has uncovered a strong link between a mother’s screen time and her child’s developmental outcomes. In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Dr Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack the latest research on "technoference" and what happens to our children when our eyes are glued to our devices. The results may just change the way you use your phone—especially around your kids. KEY POINTS: Study Summary: Japanese research of ~4,000 mother-child pairs found that more than one hour of screen use by mums in front of their children correlates with lower language and social development. Two Hours or More: Greater than two hours was associated with lower global development outcomes. Technoference: The distraction of devices interrupts “serve and return” interactions—vital for healthy child development. Modelling Matters: Kids mimic their parents—mums who use screens more are more likely to have kids who use them too. TV vs. Devices: Passive screen time (TV) is less harmful than interactive, overstimulating device use—but still not ideal. Screen Time ≠ Quality Learning: Despite nostalgic memories of “learning” from Sesame Street, research shows TV is a poor teacher compared to real-world engagement. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "Screens are a hollow imitation of real life... real development happens in person-to-person, face-to-face interactions." RESOURCES MENTIONED: The study published in Nature Scientific Reports (March 2025) Previous podcast episodes on child screen use and brain development Happy Families website: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Be Present: Put down your phone when you're with your child—especially in those early years. Set Boundaries: Limit both your own and your child’s screen time with simple routines (e.g., no phones at the table or during playtime). Model Mindful Use: Show kids what healthy tech habits look like—because they’re watching. Prioritise Engagement: Make time for face-to-face chats, shared play, and reading together—real-life interactions build real brains. Use Screens Intentionally: If you need a break, opt for TV over devices, and choose age-appropriate, narrative-driven content.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While fans may shudder at the idea of Brand New Day being an overstuffed mess like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man 3, I think there is a common denominator between these characters that hints at the upcoming film's intriguing story.Anyone who has been paying attention to the recent rumors and reports about Spider-Man: Brand New Day knows that the film is expected to include an overabundance of Spider-Man villains. While there has been no official confirmation of which antagonists will appear in the movie, various insiders have reported that characters like Scorpion, Tombstone, Mister Negative, Black Cat, and Tarantula could all show up to battle Spider-Man in his next cinematic outing. For many Spider-Man fans, these rumors could evoke bad memories of past franchises.Both the Sam Raimi Trilogy and Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man made a similar mistake in their final films, including far too many characters (particularly villains) for a movie. Spider-Man 3 featured a trio of villains, including Venom, New Goblin, and Sandman.Masters of the Universe Gets RebootedAlong with Galitzine as He-Man, the movie also stars Camila Mendes as Teela, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-At-Arms, Sam C.

Can just 20 minutes with a personal trainer really make a difference? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explain why effort – not time – is the true driver of fitness results. From the science of stimulus to the dangers of overtraining, they reveal how shorter, smarter workouts can transform your body and redefine your approach to exercising. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher discuss whether the amount of time you spend exercising is indicative of what results you should expect. Amy kicks things off by introducing the 2x 20-minute approach the Exercise Coach's personal trainers advise their client to embrace. Some clients ask whether they should exercise more to accomplish their fitness goals... Dr. Fisher touches upon the inefficiency or lack of quality that's almost always tied to working or exercising for long periods of time. According to Dr. Fisher, what we need to think about in terms of exercise is stimulus. Exercise is the stimulus to adaptation, it's not the adaptation in and of itself.  The goal is for exercising to provide the stimulus to our body to improve our cardiorespiratory fitness, our ability to deal with blood lactate accumulation, to recruit muscle fibers, get stronger, and increase muscle size and our metabolism. Dr. Fisher and Amy talk about the danger of overtraining and what that may lead to. A 20-minute session with a personal trainer can do wonders when it comes to your fitness goals – Dr. Fisher and Amy explore why that's the case. Remember: the key is not how often and for how long your train but it's effort level you're working at. “What we encourage our clients to do is, basically, to become more in tune with their own body to understand the sensation that the stimulus of a full effort of an exercise session gives your body, and to understand how long your recovery will take,” says Amy. Amy has noticed how eye-opening it is to her personal training clients to get to know their own body, see and feel it respond to the stimulus that we're creating, and watch it change. Dr. Fisher and Amy discuss the importance of following a sustainable workout. Dr. Fisher and Amy point out the difference – and common mistakes – between a workout at a regular gym and a session with an Exercise Coach personal trainer.   Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Seven Smart Reasons to Leave Your Old 401(k) with a Previous Employer, #258

Building on last week's discussion about why rolling over your old 401(k) into an IRA could be a smart move, this episode flips the script. It explores seven compelling reasons you might want to leave your 401(k) with your previous employer instead. I break down factors like fees, company stock advantages, penalty-free withdrawals, legal protections, and unique investment options that could all influence your decision.  If you're approaching retirement or just planning your next career move, this episode is packed with insights to help you make the best choices for your financial future.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [04:12] Leave company stock in 401k to use net unrealized depreciation, potentially saving on taxes via long-term capital gains. [08:55] Consider keeping company stock in an old 401(k) to avoid taxes and penalties if under 59.5 years. [10:01] IRA withdrawal exemptions and strategies. [16:01] Consider keeping your old 401 (k) for potential loan access, but check if your provider permits non-employee loans. [17:50] Deferring 401(k) distributions explained. When to Leave Your Old 401(k) With Your Previous Employer Changing jobs often means making quick decisions about retirement savings. While rolling over your old 401(k) into an IRA is a common choice, there are significant advantages to leaving it where it is. This week, I'm discussing the situations when maintaining your previous employer's retirement plan is advantageous.  1. Potential for Lower Fees If you worked for a large organization, their 401(k) plan might offer exceptionally low administrative and investment fees, especially if they've chosen robust menus with index fund options. While IRA costs have dropped due to strong competition among major financial institutions like Schwab, Fidelity, and Vanguard, some large employer plans still offer a lower cost.  Always compare fees before making a move; sometimes, your old 401(k) will be the most cost-effective option available. 2. Tax Benefits of Company Stock (Net Unrealized Appreciation) Do you have significant company stock in your 401(k)? You could benefit from the unique tax break called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). This allows you to pay lower long-term capital gains rates on your stock's growth instead of higher ordinary income rates. However, to take advantage of NUA, you must carefully roll out your stock and be mindful of any 10% penalty if you're under 59½. Know your stock's cost basis and consult with a tax professional to determine if waiting is best, especially if your cost basis is higher. 3. Penalty-Free Access Between Age 55 and 59½ Left your job between 55 and 59½? Here's a little-known benefit: you can tap your old 401(k) penalty-free before age 59½. If you roll the balance into an IRA, that door closes, unless you qualify for rare exceptions. This rule can be crucial if you need those funds to bridge the gap to retirement, so consider leaving at least part of your balance in the plan until you turn 59½. 4. Enhanced Creditor Protection Federal law (ERISA) offers 401(k) plans strong protection from creditors and judgments, even in bankruptcy. While rollover IRAs are also protected under federal and many state laws, the details can get complicated. Certain states may limit IRA protections, so it's wise to investigate your state's rules. Segmenting rollover IRAs from contributory IRAs can also help simplify tracking and protection. 5. Access to Stable Value Funds Some 401(k) plans offer stable value funds, a low-risk investment choice that often comes with a guaranteed minimum rate of return. While money market funds are currently paying more, that could change if interest rates drop. In lower-rate environments, stable value funds could offer an edge and a safe harbor for your retirement assets. 6. Possible Loan Availability Need to borrow against your retirement savings? Some plans allow you to take a loan from your 401(k), even after leaving the company. However, this isn't universal, since loan repayments are usually tied to payroll. Check with your plan administrator to see if this benefit applies; if it does, it could be an important safety net. 7. Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Deferral if Still Working If you work past age 73, keeping your funds in a 401(k) with your current employer lets you defer required minimum distributions (RMDs). That's not the case with IRAs. Consolidating old 401(k)s into your current plan can simplify RMD timing and let your funds grow tax-deferred a bit longer. Make an Informed Move Rolling over your 401(k) may seem automatic, but there are times when staying put is the better choice. Carefully assess fees, tax implications, creditor protections, and your unique needs. Most importantly, consider working with a fiduciary, fee-only financial advisor who understands your entire financial picture.

Body of episode: FATHER'S DAY  MEN'S HEALTH  So, well before President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, I had planned on discussing men's health for this year's Father's Day episode. In particular, I wanted to discuss causes of male childlessness, such as Azoospermia.  I've decided to put links in the show notes in regards to Azoospermia. Please check out the links for further information.  The basic definition of Azoospermia per The Cleveland Clinic website is:   ‘Azoospermia means there's no sperm in your ejaculate. Its causes include a blockage along the reproductive tract, hormonal problems, ejaculation problems or issues with testicular structure or function. Many causes are treatable. For other causes, it may be possible to retrieve live sperm to be used in assisted reproductive techniques like IVF.‘    As I think back through my episodes, I don't believe I've ever discussed men's health, or medical reasons men may be childless.  We've discussed fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, miscarriage, running out of time, aka the biological clock, MRKH, etc.  But I've never gone into much detail regarding issues surrounding the causes of childlessness in men.    I have had the great opportunity to interview several men about their experiences with childlessness, including how they have dealt with it. I will put links in the show notes on interviews I have conducted over the years with these wonderful men. Be sure to take a listen!    I also believe male childlessness is not as openly discussed as female childlessness because men and their spouses may find the issue embarrassing, shocking to their ego in a different way than a woman may feel about her childlessness, or maybe in much the same way.  In either case, there can be emotional and mental pain.    Some of the things that can cause infertility in men include:   AI Overview Male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, including problems with sperm production or quality, hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, infections, and environmental factors. Additionally, lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and certain drug use can also contribute to infertility.  Here's a more detailed look at some of the key causes: 1. Sperm Problems: Low sperm count (oligospermia): A low number of sperm in the ejaculate. Absent sperm (azoospermia): No sperm in the ejaculate. Poor sperm motility: Sperm are unable to swim properly. Abnormal sperm morphology: Sperm are abnormally shaped, making it difficult for them to fertilize an egg.  2. Hormonal Imbalances:  Reduced testosterone: Low levels of testosterone can affect sperm production.  Hyperprolactinemia: Elevated levels of prolactin can interfere with sperm production.  Hormonal disorders affecting the pituitary gland or hypothalamus: These glands regulate hormone production.  3. Genetic Disorders: Klinefelter syndrome: A genetic condition affecting males. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that can cause blocked reproductive ducts. Myotonic dystrophy: A genetic disorder that can affect sperm production.  4. Infections and Inflammation: Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles.  Orchitis: Inflammation of the testicles.  STIs: Sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia can cause inflammation and damage to the reproductive organs.  5. Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Smoking: Smoking can reduce sperm count and quality.  Alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol use can lower testosterone levels and affect sperm production.  Certain drug use: Anabolic steroids and other drugs can negatively impact sperm production.  Exposure to toxins or chemicals: Exposure to certain toxins, like pesticides, can affect fertility.  Obesity: Being overweight or obese can impact sperm quality.  6. Medical Conditions: Diabetes: Diabetes can affect sperm production and quality. Kidney failure: Kidney failure can also impact sperm production. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that can cause blocked reproductive ducts. Autoimmune diseases: Some autoimmune diseases can attack sperm.  7. Other Factors: Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, which can raise testicular temperature and affect sperm production.  Testicular trauma: Injury to the testicles can damage sperm production.  Previous cancer treatment: Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can affect sperm production.  Undescended testicles: Testicles that don't descend into the scrotum.  Blockages or absences of tubes: Blockages in the reproductive tract can prevent sperm from being released.  This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more Whether you have children or not, your health is important. Be sure to go to all of your check-ups, especially if there is a family history of health issues. Get checked, don't wait.   Be OK with advocating for yourself. The healthcare industry may say no, you are too young for a particular test. But if you want that test, be insistent. Keep in mind that if your insurance does not cover the test because you are not of a certain age or whatever their parameters are, you may have to pay out of pocket.   Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful men out there who do the work of raising great people for this world.  Happy Father's Day to those of you who did not birth children, but are contributing to a child's life in beautiful and lasting ways.         Research links:   https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15441-azoospermia Articles/links of interest: https://ifstudies.org/blog/pronatalism-is-not-popular-yet Episode links to conversations with men: https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-143-the-things-men-talk-about-my-conversation-with-dr-robin-hadley/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-116-my-conversation-with-dave-jackson/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-141-downriver-nomad-my-conversation-with-rob-hutchings/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-130-about-fathers-day-and-childlessness/ https://childlessnotbychoice.net/episode-57-men-men-men-men-3/ My contact information: Website: www.childlessnotbychoice.net and www.civillamorgan.com Facebook: booksbycivillamorgan Instagram: @joyandrelevance Pinterest: Civilla M.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: A listener named Mike says, To what degree do you think it's appropriate to talk with your peer managers about people that have moved from their team to yours? How much weight do you give their criticisms of an IC that they used to manage that is working out just fine under your leadership? How do you know if it was mostly due to a conflict in their relationship, or if there's a nugget of truth you need to look out for? Hi, thanks for a great show. I've listened to 400 episodes in a year - thanks for making my commute fun! I've been at my current job as a software developer for a year. It's a great company overall, but we rely on a 30-year-old in-house ticket system that also doubles as a time reporting tool. It lacks many basic features, and project managers often resort to SQL and Excel just to get an overview. As you can imagine, things get forgotten and lost easily. Everyone dislikes it, but the old-timers are used to it. They want any replacement to be cheap and also handle time reporting, which really limits our options. I suggested to keep using the old system for time reporting only for now, but the reaction made me feel like I'd suggested going back to pen and paper. While the company is old and set in its ways in some areas, it has made big changes in others, so I'm not ready to give up hope just yet. How can I at least nudge the company toward adopting a more modern ticket system to improve visibility and planning? I've shown examples that save time and offer better overviews, but it hasn't made much impact. Where should I focus my efforts—or do I just have to learn to live with it? Some more context: This is in Europe and the culture at the company is generally open to feedback and discussions from anyone. I have 10+ years experience and a relatively good influence. My manager is driving change successfully to make the company more modern but I suspect he might have given up on this one.

June 16, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 23Financial markets are navigating a complex landscape of geopolitical tensions, monetary policy uncertainty, and technological disruption with remarkable resilience. Despite Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities triggering initial volatility, investors have demonstrated measured responses – a significant departure from the panicked selling that characterized previous global crises.The Israel-Iran conflict represents a potential flashpoint that could dramatically impact energy markets, with worst-case scenarios potentially driving oil prices to $120-130 per barrel if the Straits of Hormuz were compromised. Yet markets appear to be pricing in a contained conflict, with the VIX "fear gauge" elevated but nowhere near panic levels. As Jim Cramer astutely observed, "Sometimes the hardest thing for a long-term investor to do is to do very little" – advice that captures the disciplined approach many investors are adopting in this uncertain environment.Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting promises to provide critical insights through the updated "dot plot" showing FOMC members' interest rate projections. Previous expectations for two rate cuts in 2025 may be revised downward, especially as inflationary pressures persist and geopolitical tensions add further complexity to the economic outlook.Perhaps most fascinating is the technological revolution unfolding in search and information discovery, with Google facing unprecedented competition from AI alternatives like ChatGPT and Perplexity. This shift is creating winners and losers across the digital landscape – companies heavily dependent on search traffic (like Tripadvisor and news sites) are experiencing dramatic declines, while those with direct consumer relationships through apps (like Airbnb and Meta) stand to benefit.For investors seeking shelter from volatility, the fixed income market offers compelling options. Short-term Treasury ETFs yield 4.2-4.3% with minimal risk, while municipal bonds present exceptional value for high-tax-bracket investors, with AAA-rated long-term munis offering taxable-equivalent yields of 8-9%.What's your investment strategy in this complex environment?

America stands at a crossroads as Marines deploy on the streets of Los Angeles. This gripping analysis examines whether we're witnessing the early stages of a modern civil war or something else entirely. The evidence is sobering: combat-trained Marines entering densely populated urban areas, coordinated opposition with pre-positioned supplies, and definitions of conflict that match our current situation with disturbing accuracy.At the heart of this crisis lies America's immigration dilemma. Millions entered the country under what appeared to be an open invitation, seeking better lives only to become pawns in an escalating political battle. Now, as deportation policies move forward, battle lines are drawn between federal authorities and local governments. CBS News polling reveals the stark partisan divide fueling this conflict – 93% of Republicans support current deportation efforts while 82% of Democrats oppose them. This leaves political leaders like Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass trapped by their bases, unable to compromise without significant political fallout.Where do we go from here? The episode explores multiple potential outcomes ranging from military confrontation to diplomatic resolution. The most disturbing possibility is an endless quagmire that drains public support and creates generational conflict. A negotiated settlement between federal and state authorities offers the most humane path forward, but requires leaders willing to risk political capital for the greater good. As partisan extremes tear at America's fabric, this nonpartisan analysis offers sober reflection on how we might step back from the brink before more blood is shed. Previous episodes from 2020-2021 warned about these exact scenarios – now they're unfolding before our eyes.

Fitness Isn't Just Steps: Why Effort Matters More Than Your Step Count

Strength Changes Everything

Are your daily steps really telling you how fit you are? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher unpack the limitations of step tracking and explain why effort, not volume, is the true driver of fitness. From sedentary habits to the power of strength training, they reveal what actually moves the needle when it comes to improving your health and longevity. In today's episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher look at whether there's a meaning behind taking and tracking a certain number of steps and its role within the fitness context. While tracking our steps can make us feel good about ourselves and being active, it's something that doesn't tell us the full story about our fitness. Tracking steps is founded on a good evidence base: a study showed that taking between 7,000 to 10,000 steps per day is associated with a lower risk of mortality in older adults.  Dr. Fisher talks about a recent Exercise Coach Franchise Conference and the importance he gives to tracking how much time he spends in a seated position. Going for a jog and a walk when attending a conference helps Dr. Fisher get some exercise done during the day and get some daylight… Dr. Fisher believes that tracking the number of steps taken during the day is particularly important for those with a sedentary job or inactive lifestyle. Knowing how little steps one takes during the day can prompt lifestyle changes.  The main problem with tracking steps is that we start to become quite volume-monitored, rather than effort-monitored. Dr. Fisher points out that, nowadays, people should aim for 12,000 steps instead of 10,000, and that “not all steps are equal.” Think of the difference – in level of effort – between a walk that's more like a hike and one that's on completely flat ground, where the heart rate stays low. The risk associated with tracking steps is that it doesn't give you a good gauge of your fitness, nor of the exercise that you should be undertaking to try and maintain muscle mass and muscle fibers. Don't focus on the number of steps… focus on effort level. 5,000 steps done as a jog are more effective than 10,000 steps done as a walk. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss why strength training is the key way to stimulate our muscles, our metabolism, and myokines.  Dr. Fisher sees strength training as the biggest thing that's going to shift the needle of your overall health and well-being. For Amy, if your goal is to change your body, to add strength, improve bone density, and your hormonal and metabolic health, you have to participate in strength training. Amy gives a definition of exercise: “a stimulus that causes your body to produce positive adaptations.”  Dr. Fisher concludes by sharing a couple of concerns and considerations related to tracking steps.   Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

In this essential episode, Lindsey breaks down the 10 distinct phases of eating disorder recovery, drawing from Carolyn Costin's research while adding her own spiritual and practical insights. From the initial denial phase of "I don't think I have a problem" all the way to complete recovery, this roadmap helps you identify exactly where you are in your journey and what comes next. If you've ever felt confused about your progress or wondered if you're "doing recovery right," this episode provides the clarity you've been searching for. The 10 Phases of Recovery (Quick Reference) Phase 1: "I don't think I have a problem" - Complete denial, "this is just who I am" Phase 2: "I might have a problem, but it's not that bad" - The "I'm fine" and "not sick enough" phase Phase 3: "I have a problem but I don't care" - Awareness without motivation to change Phase 4: "I want to change but don't know how and I'm terrified" - The breakthrough moment Phase 5: "I tried to change but couldn't" - Previous attempts didn't work, feeling hopeless Phase 6: "I can stop some behaviors but not all" - Partial progress, selective recovery Phase 7: "I can stop behaviors but thoughts remain" - Actions changing, mindset lagging Phase 8: "Often free from behaviors and thoughts, but something feels missing" - The spiritual component gap Phase 9: "Free from behaviors and thoughts, surrendered control" - Nearly complete freedom Phase 10: "I am recovered" - 6+ months of complete freedom, helping others Key Insights You'll Gain On Recovery Reality (4:00-5:00) "The secret to recovery isn't forgetting the pain existed or diminishing the damage that occurred. It's allowing it to be there, but that pain and damage no longer controls and defines every ounce of who you are." On Getting Stuck in Phases (18:00-19:00) "We can get trapped in wanting recovery to go perfectly, that we stay in one of these phases too long because we're not sure that we've mastered it yet. Every single day is an opportunity to grow and move forward." On the Missing Ingredient (13:00-15:00) "There's gonna be days where your promise to yourself, your commitment to yourself is just not enough... There's gonna be days where you need a higher motivator." On Progress Over Perfection "These different phases of recovery are all about progression over perfection. You don't have to master each phase - you just have to keep moving through them." Why This Framework Changes Everything Eliminates confusion about where you are in recovery Normalizes the non-linear nature of healing Provides hope when you feel stuck or lost Identifies specific support needs for each phase Prevents perfectionist paralysis in recovery Highlights the importance of spiritual/soul work in lasting freedom Perfect for Women Who: Feel confused about their recovery progress Wonder if they're "doing recovery right" Have tried recovery before and want to understand what went wrong Are considering getting professional help but aren't sure they're "ready" Want to understand the long-term recovery journey Need hope that complete freedom is actually possible Are supporting someone else in recovery Throughout this episode, Lindsey weaves in her own experience spending extended time in various phases, particularly Phase 3 ("I have a problem but I don't care") and Phase 8 (feeling like something was missing until she incorporated spiritual surrender). Her vulnerability about getting stuck and her insights about the soul component of recovery make this more than just clinical information. Ready to Move to Your Next Phase? If you're in Phases 4-5 (wanting change but scared or having tried before), this is the perfect time to get personalized support.

Your freedom is waiting. And now you know exactly where you are on the path to get there.

Something extraordinary is stirring in the apostolic community. After 15 years, Greater Faith Church in Louisville, Kentucky, is partnering with top apostolic leaders to launch "Win Your World" – a revolutionary evangelism training event that promises to fundamentally change how we approach soul-winning in North America.During this illuminating discussion on Apostolic Mentoring, Bishop Todd Nichols shares the compelling vision behind this June 5-8 event. More than just inspiration, this gathering will provide intensive, hands-on training from renowned evangelists and leaders including Taylor Fish, DJ Hill, Scott Sistrunk, Braden Anderson, Shadi Azar, and William Robinette. The most revolutionary aspect? Participants won't just learn theory – they'll immediately put their training into practice on the streets of Louisville.Previous evangelism initiatives at Greater Faith Church have resulted in extraordinary harvests – 399 people filled with the Holy Ghost in their first event and 667 in their second. Now, with unprecedented unity among apostolic leadership, this new approach aims to create a multiplication effect across North America. North American Missions Director Scott Sistrunk envisions 52 similar events happening in 2026 alone.The heart of this initiative addresses the three major hurdles preventing effective evangelism: believers not believing they can win souls, not knowing where to begin, and not feeling adequately equipped. "It's one thing to talk about winning the world, but this is called win your world," explains Bishop Nichols. "You can win the people that you are surrounded with."Ready to join this soul-winning revolution? Register at Greater Faith Church's social media pages or contact Bishop Nichols directly. Special online access will be available for global participants who can't attend in person. Don't miss being part of this historic moment that could spark the greatest harvest in apostolic history.We love to hear from our listeners!

He writes about the experience (plus notes on shibari and Dungeons & Dragons) in his new book about surviving 21 years in the California prison system, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine.  Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine https://thenewpress.org/books/ghost-in-the-criminal-justice-machine/ Emile's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/emilesuotonyedeweaver/ Previous episode with Emile on Gavin Newsom's 'Norway Model' for Prisons  https://episodes.fm/1653309103/episode/YzM1NzZmMjktNTQ5OC00NjhiLTliOTQtOGE2ZGU5ZjUxOWQxstice-machine/ Gavin Newsom's 'Norway Model' for Prisons (previous episode with Emile) https://episodes.fm/1653309103/episode/YzM1NzZmMjktNTQ5OC00NjhiLTliOTQtOGE2ZGU5ZjUxOWQx
