Tara dives deep into the current state of political violence, radical left-wing movements, and media spin. From the Luigi Mangione case to the Charlie Kirk shooting, she exposes how portions of the media and left-leaning institutions normalize, justify, and even celebrate violent acts while minimizing or ignoring key facts. This episode explores: How legal technicalities and sympathetic judges could allow politically motivated murderers to receive lighter sentences. The social media amplification of political violence and the rise of what Tara calls “assassination culture.” Historical parallels with Marxist revolutions, the Russian Cadet Party, and the Weimar Republic, showing how minority factions use fear and intimidation when they can't win at the ballot box. Media manipulation, from CNN anchors to public figures, subtly framing political violence as excusable or emotionally motivated. Real-world impacts on communities, workplaces, and governance, including the ongoing debate over immigration enforcement and labor. Listeners will gain insight into how political radicalism spreads, the mechanics of media gaslighting, and what it means for free speech and public safety in today's America.

In this deeply moving and powerful episode of The Surviving Siblings® Podcast, host Maya Roffler is joined by Michael Tobin, who shares the raw and unfiltered story of losing his older brother, Jimmy, to homicide in 1992. Over 30 years later, Michael reflects on how this traumatic event shaped his life, his family, and his ongoing mission to keep Jimmy's memory alive. Michael recounts the joys of growing up in a big Irish-Catholic family in the Bronx, the tight-knit neighborhood where breakdancing, graffiti, and hip-hop shaped their youth, and the bond he shared with Jimmy—a wisecracking, creative, loyal soul who was beloved by all who knew him. But in April of 1992, that world was shattered when Jimmy was chased down and killed just 100 yards from their front door. This episode explores not only the devastating loss of a sibling to violence, but also the long-term impact of unresolved cases, complicated grief, faith, family dynamics, and the lifelong journey of honoring someone gone too soon. Michael's story is one of heartbreak, healing, and finding strength through memory, community, and creative expression.   In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Meet Michael and Remembering Jimmy Michael shares about growing up in a big family in the Bronx in the 80s, surrounded by hip-hop, graffiti, and a strong sibling bond with Jimmy.

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:Why your triggers are actually doorways to freedomHow to tell if you're healing or just recycling traumaThe difference between spiritual growth and ego transformationWhen does healing become just another addiction?I used to think healing meant fixing all the broken parts of myself. Like I could somehow surgically remove every wound, every trigger, every uncomfortable emotion and emerge as this perfectly polished version of who I was supposed to be. But that's not healing. That's spiritual bypassing dressed up in self-help language.What I didn't realize is that healing can become its own trap. You can get so addicted to the process, so comfortable in the identity of "someone who's working on themselves," that you never actually arrive anywhere. You just keep circling the same wounds, having the same breakthroughs, collecting the same insights like spiritual trophies.Real healing looks more like standing at an intersection, recognizing you're about to road rage at someone who cut you off, and suddenly seeing that your anger has nothing to do with them. It's about that part of you that's still 12 years old, desperate to be seen and validated. The part you've been trying to silence for decades.Today our guest is Nicholas Cassius Clay, an integrative coach and founder of Being One World who helps people cut through the healing fog to find real clarity. He combines everything from ancient wisdom to neuroscience, helping clients actually complete their healing cycles instead of endlessly circling them.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/419Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Here's a question that'll keep you up at night: What do you do when you believe in "buy or die" but you're terrified of ruining future opportunities with annoying prospecting sequences? That's exactly what Angie Anderson asked during a recent Ask Jeb session, and it's a problem that's plaguing salespeople everywhere. Angie subscribes to the buy or die mentality but doesn't want to destroy her odds of winning in the future by becoming the prospect's worst nightmare. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. The tension between persistent prospecting and respectful relationship building is one of the biggest challenges facing modern sales professionals, and getting it wrong costs you deals—both now and in the future. The Buy or Die Misconception That's Killing Your Pipeline Here's the brutal truth: Most salespeople completely misunderstand what "buy or die" actually means. They think it's about hammering prospects until they crack, but that's not persistence—that's harassment. Real buy or die mentality recognizes that the prospect is never not a prospect, but sometimes now is not the right time. The key is knowing when to push and when to pull back. Your sequence length and touch frequency should be driven by one critical factor: deal complexity and account size. Short Cycle Sales Need Short, Aggressive Sequences Run 10-14 touch sequences over 10-30 days with touchpoints every 2-3 days. These prospects have buying windows that are typically always open, and the stakes are relatively low. Complex Accounts Require Long-Term Relationship Building For massive, high-value accounts, you could run sequences that extend up to two years. Touch them monthly or quarterly to stay top of mind, waiting for the right opportunity window to open. The magic happens when you track meaningful engagement. In any properly executed sequence, 30-50% of prospects will give you some form of signal—yes, no, or even "go away." All of these responses give you something to work with. But here's the critical part: When you get complete radio silence from the other 50%, you stop. Pull them out of your sequence, slot in fresh prospects, and circle back in 90 days or six months. You have infinite time to go after them—use it strategically. Why Generic Messages Get You Blocked Every Time This brings us to the second major challenge facing modern salespeople: crafting relevant messages that actually resonate with busy prospects. James Baldwin perfectly captured this struggle when he asked about leveraging tools like ZoomInfo to create relevant messaging. He sees tons of information but doesn't know what to use or how to use it effectively. This is where most reps completely miss the mark, and it's costing them relationships. The Research Failure That Destroys Credibility Want to know the fastest way to get permanently blocked? Send a message that screams "I know nothing about you or your business." This happened to me recently with a rep from a major software company. They did everything technically right—multi-channel approach, proper timing, professional voicemails—but they failed at the most critical element: relevance. They prospected Sales Gravy without doing even basic research. My LinkedIn profile was right there. My content was everywhere. I've literally said thousands of times that if you mention my books when prospecting me, I'll almost always respond. But they were too lazy to look. That's not persistence—that's sales malpractice. How to Turn Data Overload Into Relevant Conversations The problem isn't lack of information—it's information overwhelm. Modern tools give you access to massive amounts of data, but most reps freeze up trying to figure out what matters. The solution is asking better questions of your data. Instead of just building lists, use AI-powered tools to ask specific questions: "What are three conversation starters that would make this CEO interested in talking with us?

How a 7‑Time Inc. 5000 CEO Built AI‑Resistant Human Connection When most of us talk branding, we talk about being seen. But what if the real breakthrough right now is being truly known? In this deeply candid episode, Ryan Levesque—7‑time Inc. 5000 CEO, two‑time national bestseller, and creator of the Ask Method—pulls back the curtain on his pivot from algorithm‑chasing software launches to embracing things only humans can give: authenticity, trust, and real presence. He walks us through his career—from scrabble‑tile jewelry and survey‑based marketing to building hyper‑responsive communities and hand‑writing his newsletter, The Digital Contrarian.

850 Episodes In: 8 Lessons That Actually Move Your Business In this milestone episode, Doc Danny Matta reflects on 8+ years and 850 podcasts—what stuck, what changed, and what really matters if you want a durable, thriving cash-based PT business. From showing up consistently to building systems and recurring revenue, Danny lays out the playbook he wishes he had at the start. Episode Summary Consistency pays: Two episodes a week for 8+ years—compound impact over time. Origin story: From the Doc & Jock days to PT Entrepreneur, content created demand and clarity. The big mission: Add $1B in cash-based PT services; current community revenue already in the hundreds of millions. Clinic as a lab: Athletes' Potential evolved into a testing ground for systems shared with clients. Real talk on founder life: Leadership is lonely; sleep is non-negotiable; trolls don't pay the bills. What's next: More clinic tours, more stories, and a push toward a “no-brainer” clinic model for owners and staff. 8 Key Lessons Start before you're ready: Perfect timing is a myth—get moving and adjust. Content creates connection: Share values and useful guidance; consistency builds trust. Systems > motivation: Processes keep output steady when motivation dips. Leadership is lonely: Find a peer group; don't dump everything on your spouse. Recurring revenue changes everything: Stabilizes cash flow and deepens client outcomes. Protect sleep: Chronic deprivation wrecks health, judgment, and relationships. Trolls don't pay the bills: Ship the work; let your reputation and community speak. Delay gratification: Don't move the goalposts—bank the delta to build real freedom. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Document & delegate: Write the steps for your recurring tasks; hand off one this week. Publish on a schedule: Pick a cadence (e.g., weekly) and protect it like a patient slot. Add continuity: Offer a simple monthly performance/maintenance option for appropriate patients. Sleep floor: Set a personal minimum (e.g., 7 hours) and design evenings to hit it. Owner circle: Book a monthly coffee with 2–3 local entrepreneurs; talk shop and stress. Hold lifestyle creep: Keep expenses at the old income level for 12 months; invest the spread. Notable Quotes “The power of showing up is huge. Be a consistent person—it's rare.” “Systems beat motivation ten out of ten—motivation will wane.” “Recurring revenue stabilizes your business and changes patient lives.” “Trolls don't pay the bills—ship the work and help your people.” “Don't move the goalposts. Delay gratification to build real freedom.” Action Items Create a simple content system: topic list → record → edit → post → email/social. Launch one continuity offer (monthly check-in or performance session) for eligible patients. Block a consistent sleep window on your calendar for the next 30 days. Schedule a standing monthly founder meetup (90 minutes) with peers. Track one metric for 8 weeks (e.g., continuity MRR or weekly content cadence) and review.

True transformation doesn't come from white-knuckling your thoughts. It comes when you engage your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—to reset into peace.In this episode of Alive & Well, I'm joined by Ashriel Huber, founder of Love Moves, who helps women break free from fear, stress, and unworthiness by pairing movement, breath, prayer, and neuroscience. What started in her kindergarten classroom—where she discovered how movement transformed kids' ability to learn—has grown into a powerful framework for women to regulate their nervous systems, rewire their thoughts, and reclaim their God-given worth.We're diving into: ✔️ Why your body holds the key to shifting from fear brain to love brain ✔️ How Love Moves resets spark neurogenesis, close stress cycles, and create new patterns of peace ✔️ The role of consistency and repetition in rewiring your brain through neuroplasticity ✔️ Real stories of women who've gone from overwhelmed and unworthy to grounded, confident, and freeIf you've ever wondered how to actually renew your mind and take your thoughts captive in a practical, embodied way—this episode will show you what's possible.

How Ireland is making homes warmer, cheaper to run, and lower-carbon—at real scale—and what you should actually do first. Ireland's Retrofit Race Ireland set out to decarbonise its housing by upgrading existing homes—insulation first, fossil heating out, heat pumps and other renewables in. Dr. Ciarán Byrne from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland explains what “retrofit” really means, where the numbers stand, what's working, and how to start your own upgrade without getting overwhelmed. Ireland's Retrofit Race with Dr. Ciarán Byrne “Anything you do in this space is no-regrets work.” Dr. Ciarán Byrne C Dir Why listen to Ireland's Retrofit Race Plain-English retrofit 101: What counts, what doesn't, and why external wall insulation can make a whole street look brand new. Real progress, real targets: Thousands of upgrades each year, with a growing share of homes reaching a strong BER rating. Money + logistics, demystified: Grants that can be netted off your bill, low-cost green loans, and why using registered contractors matters. Old buildings, smart fixes: How “breathable” materials and traditional-home know-how avoid moisture traps in heritage fabric. Myths busted: You usually don't need to move out for a deep retrofit; confusion often comes from bundling retrofits with kitchen or bathroom refits. Ireland's Retrofit Race Pilot Projects Under 1 Minute Snippet Chapters (00:00:00) - What is retrofitting? A home-energy upgrade: insulate the fabric (walls, roof, doors, windows), then swap fossil heat for renewable systems like heat pumps.(00:03:00) - Targets & the clock: Carbon budgets arrive in five-year blocks; scaling now matters because the decade is “back-end loaded.”(00:04:30) - Scorecard: Applications and completions climbing, more homes hitting BER B2, and solid momentum behind insulation-first pathways.(00:09:30) - Scorecard: Applications and completions climbing, more homes hitting BER B2, and solid momentum behind insulation-first pathways.(00:16:00) - The homeowner journey: Make action easy; reduce clicks and complexity; balance demand with trained, inspected, registered contractors.(00:20:00) - Grants that actually move: Faster approvals, one-stop shops that can net off aid, and quality assurance through inspections.(00:30:00) - “Isn't this only for the wealthy?” Attic insulation is often the cheapest, best first step; green finance covers the rest.(00:33:00) - Deep retrofit myths: Staying put vs. moving out—and why people conflate retrofits with other renovations.(00:34:00) - Heritage & physics: Permeable vs. impermeable materials and a growing evidence base for doing old buildings right(00:37:00) - What's next: Optimised construction, off-site panels, digital twins—promising, but still at early stage locally.(00:40:00) - SEAI's role: “The meat in the sandwich”—bridging policy and delivery while simplifying, standardising, consolidating.(00:41:00) - 2026 success looks like… Bigger numbers, smoother customer journeys, and a confident supply chain.(00:42:00) - Final advice: Check your BER and advisory report, explore grants/finance, pick registered contractors, and start now.

Shining for Jesus is like burning, it gives off light but not without pain. Paul tells the Philippians that Epaphroditus (his brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier) nearly lost his life serving the cause of Christ. This was not a story of calm detachment or stoic control. Instead, Paul openly describes homesickness, distress, grief, and anxiety. Real love is messy, and real relationships are risky. Yet, it is in that risk, not in protecting ourselves, that we understand more about God.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

In this conversation, we close the villain series with the Invisible Destroyer—also known as The Nothing from The NeverEnding Story. This archetype represents the paralysis of possibility, where imagination and inspiration remain ungrounded, slowly eroding both the self and those around it. We explore how this villain shows up as addiction, avoidance, and endless questioning, and how its transformation into the Architect brings creativity into embodied form. Along the way, we unpack how this arc blends qualities of the Enneagram 5 and 6, why Radiohead may be its unofficial soundtrack, and what it really takes to move from disappearing into inertia to choosing life, creation, and presence. We close with a vivid “Am I the Asshole?” example that grounds these themes in relationship dynamics.Timestamps00:00 — Welcome, final villain in the series00:15 — Invisible Destroyer, aka The Nothing00:30 — Archetypal map: Enneagram 9, head center, separation wound, house of addiction01:20 — Why it feels like “a combo of the 5 and 6”: evasive expert + divisive immortal01:45 — The NeverEnding Story and the Nothing as lack of human attention and imagination03:00 — Paralyzed by possibility: endless questions without action04:10 — The wake of destruction from inaction and addiction04:40 — Successful Antagonist: The Questioner, delaying decisions forever06:10 — Wounded Child: The Overwhelmed, never big enough to handle life07:00 — Covert Form: The Addict, disappearing through escapism08:10 — Hero: The Embodied, choosing incarnation, creation, and presence (with pleasure as a pathway)09:20 — Legend: The Architect, building grounded worlds from imagination10:00 — Why this arc belongs at the end of the villain cycle: outward, complex, foundational10:45 — Real-life dynamics: undervaluing presence and its destructive impact on relationships11:30 — AITA case study: birthday dinner, avoidance, blocking, and the Nothing's invisibility wound13:30 — Radiohead soundtrack: How to Disappear Completely, Lotus Flower, and the addictive undertones of disappearing17:00 — Closing thoughts: start with villains 1–6 before tackling the complexity of 7–9The arc at a glancePinnacle Villain: Invisible Destroyer (The Nothing) — Inspiration ungrounded, inertia that consumes.Successful Antagonist: The Questioner — Delays action indefinitely by demanding more certainty.Wounded Child: The Overwhelmed — Believes they can never be big enough to handle life.Covert Form: The Addict — Escapes through substances or compulsions, invisibly eroding relationships.Hero: The Embodied — Chooses presence, incarnation, creativity, and embodied pleasure.Legend: The Architect — Builds tangible worlds from imagination and dreams.Key ideas and languageThe Nothing: Inaction as destruction; the void left when imagination is unused.Addiction as covert destruction: Disappearing through self-harm, leaving collateral damage.Paralysis of possibility: Asking without acting, researching without deciding.Presence as medicine: Recognizing that showing up, even imperfectly, matters.Imagination grounded: Dreams are valuable only when incarnated into lived form.Practices for listenersPleasure as embodimentUse sexual or sensual pleasure as a direct route into your body.Notice how aliveness shifts when you commit to being present in sensation.The small action rulePick one tiny step toward creation daily, even if imperfect.Doing badly is better than not doing at all.Name the overwhelmWrite down three things you cannot do right now.Then choose one thing you can do and act on it.Reclaim visibilityAsk yourself: “Where am I pretending my presence doesn't matter?”Practice showing up where you assume no one cares.Case study insightsBirthday dinner scenario: Downplaying one's presence leads to relational collapse.

The $6,000 “Boomer Bonus” – fabulous tax break or political glitter bomb?Starting in 2025, Uncle Sam is dangling a shiny new $6,000 tax deduction for folks 65+, or $12,000 if you're married. Sounds fabulous, right? Well… not so fast.

SHOW NOTES: This episode is heavy and it is hard because it is dealing with a very difficult topic - the topic of infertility. I know that this is a very delicate situation, but as Christians, we have to be sure that we walk through hard situations in the right way giving glory to God, so this episode looks at whether common practices in infertility give honor to God, or whether they can become something sinful. Additionally we look at the problems of infertility alongside some God-honoring solutions that you can feel good about. This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

You're ready to make real money in your business — but without an offer that feels solid, it still feels like an expensive hobby.You're overthinking your offers. Going back and forth about what your “thing” should be — only to end up not putting anything out there consistently. Deep down, you're wondering: How do I actually create something that's valuable? Something people would happily pay for — and I'd feel good delivering?In this episode, I share the one strategic shift I made that helped me stop second-guessing, start creating real results, and confidently sell $3.5K coaching packages without feeling icky.You'll learn:* Why you can't just rely on mindset work to build true confidence* The exact steps I took to build a clear, aligned offer that I could confidently sell. * How to create an offer that's rooted in real value — not fluff or guessworkIf you're ready to stop overthinking and finally create an offer that feels grounded, transformational, and ready to sell — hit play on this episode now.I was scared to sell $3-$5k coaching packagesThere was a time in my business when I felt uneasy on every sales call.Even when someone said yes, my chest would tighten.Shoot. Now I have to deliver.What if I can't get them results?What if they regret working with me? Or even worse…. what if they think it's a waste of money.Sometimes the fear was so strong that I would talk people out of buying.If they had any hesitation, I'd tell them, “Yeah, maybe it's not the right time.”And while I deeply wanted to sell packages for $3-$5k and run a thriving business…I couldn't back my own work.It wasn't because I had unhappy clients—no one ever told me my coaching sucked.But the results my clients experienced weren't consistent.Some clients had massive breakthroughs and tangible shifts.Quitting their job. Starting a business. Landing a dream job.Others just “felt better” at the end.I never knew which way it would go and that uncertainty gnawed at me.It made me second-guess my offers, my content, my sales calls.I didn't feel like I could confidently say, “This is what I do and here's the transformation you'll get.”For a long time, I tried to mindset my way through it.I repeated affirmations.I hyped myself up.I worked on worthiness.But deep down, I knew the truth:I didn't fully believe in the value of my work because it wasn't consistently valuable yet.Creating my six-figure curriculumEverything changed when I made one shift:I created a signature transformational curriculum.Instead of relying on one-off sessions or hoping each client would “get something out of it,” I built a repeatable process—what eventually became my first program, the Career Fulfillment Formula.This was the turning point in my business.Having one clear, transformational process gave me:* A framework I trusted* Consistent, repeatable results for my clients* Confidence to sell high-ticket offers without feeling like a fraudIt became the foundation for my six-figure business.Step One: Commit to One ResultThe first thing I did was commit to one specific result.I distilled my coaching down into a “caveman phrase” of just a few words:Find work you love.Before this, my message was vague: “Follow your dreams,” “Live your best life,” “Unlock your potential.”But how do you create or measure results around things like that.When I got clear on helping people specifically find work they love—their path to fulfillment—everything started to come together.I wasn't just “a life coach.”I was someone who could help people clarify their career direction and find purpose through identifying the work they loved. Step Two: Create the CurriculumWith my one result in mind, I outlined a step-by-step process to help people get there.This wasn't about locking myself in a room and perfecting it for months before showing it to another living soul.I created it through:* Real conversations and market research* My lived experience of finding work I loved* My own zone of genius (mindset, inner work, purpose—not résumés or job applications)The first version of the Career Fulfillment Formula was just an outline.I knew where my ideal clients were starting, and I knew where they wanted to go.So I mapped out how to get them there.Step Three: Test It in Real TimeThe truth is, I couldn't sell the program at first. I tried launching it, and no one bought.But instead of scrapping it entirely, I found the perfect pro bono client—a friend who was exactly my ideal client.We agreed: she'd show up fully for the entire program and in return I'd get her feedback and testimonial.Every week, I created a short video, gave her worksheets, coached her through the material, and refined as we went.By week two or three of putting my pro bono client through the process, new paying clients started signing up.Suddenly I had people going through the program in real time, giving me feedback, and getting results.And this is where everything shifted.The breakthroughs became consistent.The testimonials started flooding in.I could see with my own eyes: this process works.Confidence Through EvidenceOnce I had a process that consistently worked, I no longer needed to hype myself up before sales calls.I didn't have to do affirmations or mantras to “believe in the value of my work”I had evidence.Clients were moving from point A to point B.Their lives were changing.And I could confidently say, “This is the result I help you create.”That evidence built unshakable confidence—something mindset work alone could never give me.What This Means for YouIf you're struggling to sign clients consistently, or if you secretly doubt the value of your work, it might not be a mindset issue.It might be that you don't yet have a signature process.A transformational curriculum that:* Delivers repeatable results* Aligns with your genius and lived experience* Gives you confidence because you know it worksYou don't build confidence by reciting mantras.You build it by creating a transformational process that works. By putting people through your process, and seeing the results over and over again.That's how you create an offer you can stand behind.That's how you build a business on solid ground.And that's how you finally start “believing in the value of your work.”If you're struggling to believe in the value of your work, here's the truth:It's so much easier to back your offers when they're built from your genius.When you understand your unique strengths—and how they translate into real results for your clients—you stop second-guessing yourself. You stop spinning on “What should I sell?” and start creating offers that actually feel like you.That's exactly what my toolkit, Map Your Genius, is designed to help you do.Inside, you'll learn how to:* Identify the strengths you've been overlooking* Pinpoint your unique “genius” (the intersection of your gifts + the value they bring to others)* Turn your genius into aligned offers that deliver real transformationYou'll walk away with a clear map of how to use your genius to help clients get results—and clarity on the offer that's best for you right now.

I'm excited to keep our macros series rolling today, because it's not enough to just “know” what macros are. The magic happens when you actually START tracking them! This isn't about being “perfect”, or obsessing over every bite. It's about awareness, creating habits, and finally understanding how your nutrition lines up with your goals. If you've ever felt like tracking was “too much,” overwhelming, or just plain confusing, this episode is going to make it feel sooo much more doable!Real talk: if you're not measuring, you're just guessing. You can't “guess” your way into a stronger, leaner, or healthier body. Tracking gives you the clarity to see what's really going on, and from there, you can decide where to adjust. That's where the freedom comes in, because you learn what works for you without cutting out foods, or living by certain “food rules”!Remember - tracking macros is NOT about being perfect. It's about building consistency, awareness, and creating the body (and confidence) you want!Episode recap:Why tracking macros really matters (and NOT obsessive)Simple ways to start tracking + make it feel doableHow to set macro targets that match your goalsTools & tips to make tracking easier and more effectiveCommon mistakes to avoid when tracking your foodWhy macro tracking actually gives you MORE freedom with foodAction steps you can start implementing this weekLinks/Resources:Ep. 205 |  WTF Are Macros (And Why You Can't Ignore Them) | Macros SeriesEp. 206 | Macros Decoded: Why Protein, Carbs & Fats Actually Matter | Macros SeriesListen to the Sol Fit PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

But they also reveal a better way: a redeemed imagination that sees people with honor, not lust.Through real stories, Scripture, and science, this conversation shows why detox and disconnection are essential, how to begin rewiring your brain, and why Jesus—not porn—is the model of true manhood. If you're ready to break free, this is your roadmap.Support the show

In this episode, Haley Miller discusses the mission of Zero Hour Student Ministries to awaken high school students as disciple makers, emphasizing the need for gospel saturation in schools. She highlights the importance of building relationships through meaningful conversations and prayer, particularly in the context of Gen Z, who are often seen as a post-Christian generation. The discussion includes practical tools for engaging in gospel conversations, such as the 'FROG' method, which encourages students to ask good questions about friends, family, recreation, occupation, and goals.
