This week, Bria's taking you behind the curated image and sharing a deeply vulnerable moment of her journey. It's about accepting the challenge to show up, even when it's messy. We're talking about the pressure to perform, the reality of "not being as put together as you think," and the power of giving yourself the grace you deserve. Bria shares personal reflections on presence, community, and navigating new challenges, including a powerful analogy she uses with her pilates clients. Reflection Prompt:What are you doing well, and what are you committed to continuing?Links:Join the email list: https://www.dewlessbloom.com/communityExplore more at Dewless Bloom: https://www.dewlessbloom.com/

Ever wonder what your kids will remember about you when they're grown? In Part Two of my conversation with Megan and Angie—founders of Front Row Moms—we go deep into the father-daughter relationship, how it shaped them, and what kind of presence they craved most from their dads growing up. These aren't just reflections—they're insights every father can apply right now, no matter the age of your kids. Here's what you'll take away from the interview: ❤️ How two women—now mothers themselves—reflect on what their fathers got right (and wrong)

In this episode, CJ shares a recent experience of true connection after being invited to a student's home for an artist playdate. Surrounded by different materials and supplies, they created art, exchanged ideas, and rediscovered the joy of in-person community.But why is this kind of gathering so rare today? CJ explores how social media, the “junk food of social life,” gives the illusion of connection but leaves us feeling empty—much like a fast-food meal that satisfies in the moment but lacks real nourishment. From doom-scrolling to quick-click interactions, we've replaced deep relationships with fleeting digital moments.Where are the bookstores, cafés, and gathering spots where we once met new people? Instead of engaging in real-world community, we isolate behind screens. But there's hope.CJ announces his new Creative Spirit Community program, launching this August at Unity Church of Dallas. Meeting on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, this gathering will include a talk, meditation, and small-group discussions to foster genuine connection.Want to start building community today? CJ is offering five free copies of his book to anyone who hosts a book club at home. Or, if nothing else, just pick up the phone and make lunch plans with one friend. Real relationships start with small steps..

Social media should be about connection, inspiration, and celebrating great work, not about keeping score.In this episode, we're talking about: whyy follow-for-follow culture is exhausting, why engagement isn't a transaction and how creating a feed you actually enjoy can change the gameReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can't ask? ⁠⁠Submit it here⁠⁠Follow Robin on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠Follow the Podcast Instagram ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠Get The Newsletter, Templates & Design Freebies ⁠⁠here⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

Why You Must Invest in Real Community | Chosen FamilyTiktok/IG: LTAUwithUcheSpoken Words Poetry: SpokenWordsUchePersonal Tiktok/IG/X: uc_images

In this powerful episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick sits down with Dave Bechtold, founder of Outside the Walls, to explore faith beyond traditional church settings. Dave shares his journey of ministry, the impact of Holy Smokes, Dads at Dave's and others, and why real conversations often happen outside the pews—sometimes over a good cigar.

Many of us feel isolated and lonely even though we constantly connect through social media and our devices. We are busy in our lives yet not connected to the people we love. We don't see our friends as often as we would like or don't have friends living close by. We are living in a loneliness epidemic – and mothers are often feeling this more so than anyone else. This is why I asked Palak Dave to join me on this episode to discuss fostering adult friendship, building community and spending more time in real life instead of on our devices. Palak and I chat about: Why we have found ourselves in a loneliness epidemic Simple strategies to find new friendships as an adult How to start hosting community events without overwhelm Ways to create belonging in your community Building the habit of real life interactions back into our lives How to not let fear or discomfort stop you from living a meaningful life The impact that devices have on our lives Why we must replace multitasking with savouring in our everyday lives Doable ways to have a healthy relationship with our devices, even though they are addictive Palak Dave is the Founder and CEO of Embiria (experience), a speaker, investor and author of the newly released book Beautiful Everydays: A Guide to Living in the Here and Now. Formerly an award-winning marketer with senior-level positions at companies including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Indigo Books and Music Inc., Palak embarked on an entrepreneurial journey in 2017, founding Embiria – a movement and membership community designed to help people slow down and savor life. Through Embiria, she inspires a shift away from digital distractions toward embracing in person experiences, gatherings and the beauty of living life in the present moment. Having hosted over 350 curated events, including intimate experiences for brands such as Google, Nespresso and Bumble, Palak champions intentional living, urging you to prioritize real-life experiences and connection over digital noise.

11-10-24 | Finish Line Faith: Cultivate Real Community by Plainfield Christian Church

Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever felt like the journey ahead is just too daunting? Often when God wants us to move forward in our lives, He doesn't take us straight to the destination, he leads us to people. People are part of the process. In this sermon, Pastor Jon explains how we can find freedom in real community and breaks down the five main types of friends that we all need in our lives.

Scott Simson, founder of Rafiti Media and a prominent content creator, shares insights into navigating the creator economy with authenticity. He emphasizes the pitfalls of manufacturing content for views, advocating instead for genuine storytelling. Scott discusses the challenges imposed by the YouTube algorithm, which often confines creators to specific niches, limiting their creative exploration. Reflecting on events like Video Marketing World, he underscores their role in facilitating networking and business growth opportunities. The conversation distinguishes between using YouTube as a support platform for businesses versus building a business solely as a YouTuber. Hosts stress the importance of understanding one's audience and goals, rather than mimicking popular trends. Strategies discussed include creating valuable content, fostering community loyalty, utilizing lead magnets for audience engagement, and prioritizing monthly recurring revenue for sustainable growth, advising against perpetual launch cycles to maintain business stability.

The owner visited us to see our proposed site on Thursday, so our first stop on Friday was to his lot, to finalize details and make a deposit. We'll be getting a larger (8'x10') shed, for at least $700 less than Home Depot's price on an 8'x8' model. Home Depot our next stop. They've got LOTS of batteries; I grabbed an 8-pack of AA lithium which will be for a label printer that won't get used a lot, and would likely be destroyed by alkaline leakage. A 2x4x8 is $3.73.  Aldi was last. It was also rather busy. We found everything we wanted. A few prices were actually lower. Staples were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.29; eggs: $2.05; whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.69; bacon: $3.99 (-); potatoes: $3.99; sugar: $2.99 (-); flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.09. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Operation Independence What is the emergency fund for and what do you do after using it? Main topic of the Show: What is Next for LFTN It happened again. We turned a corner at the LFTN workshop. I kicked off the event with what was supposed to be a talk about using the #my3things method to move forward in life. But guys, I was BEAT. Like more beat that I have ever been. When I stepped in front of everyone to talk I saw much of the same fatigue on so many faces that I stopped focusing on the prepared notes and started a conversation.  By then end of our conversation I realized something: You are no good to anyone if you put yourself in the hospital. Period.  We have spent years helping people stuck in the throes of analysis paralysis just get started and then refine. We have spent  years helping people who are having motivation problems, maybe a little depression or other things that keep them from persevering. We have talked about all the ways you can look at an impossible list, set a really big goal, then go for it and keep going every. Single. Day.  We have even talked about adding your personal health, relationships, and other really important things to your daily goals so that you build a happy life. Why?  Because the problem most of us face as we begin our walk toward independence is not what other people think about us. It isn;t if a spouse is on board or not. It isnt even about squeezing that last nickel out of your day to finally put aside toward something better.  It is the broken promises to ourselves that must change. We tell ourselves stories like: I will eat on plan, or I will do this thing by that time. Or I will by GUM conquer laundry mountain tomorrow. Always tomorrow.Then tomorrow comes and it is so tempting to just not do what we set out to do even if we KNOW we feel better if we prioritize what we already promised ourselves (and sometimes others) we would do. The pressure of the urgent will overpower the prioritization of the urgent if you let it. And that is what you were programmed to do. Programmed by the bell at school. By asking for bathroom breaks. By seeking permission. Yes a corner was turned at the spring workshop, as it usually is. LFTN has grown as a community. In fact, someone told me they wished they had a term for the Greater TSP/LFTN/SOE/DELINQUENTS community because we all overlap and we all share core values. I just call it The Community if that helps. That way when another community of doers appears, we dont have to rebrand. The Community as in the Real Community - not a fake one that has been thrust upon us by outside forces but a group of people we can work with. Who understand the difference between friendly competition and toxic competition. Who DO instead of take. Yes, LFTN has brown beyond the timid little group of women who decided to step outside expectations and start doing what people told us we couldn't or shouldn't do. We've grown as mentors, and leaders, and as supporters.  I've come to see that homesteads dont do well without women and that many of the best in this space will never be seen because they think that their “small” work on the homestead is nothing. But they are the heart and sole of the homesteading network. And that is how this homesteading podcast started. It started because I was doing things on my homestead that men are supposed to do and laughing with another friend of mine about how we would have to adjust our approach based on such things as: oversized (for us) tools. Center of gravity differences on big projects. Not having grown up building things and not knowing what we don't know. In the case of my friend, her husband works full time and she takes care of the livestock and simply can't always wait for a helping hand. In my case, I was both earning the income and needing to get infrastructure and processes in place to live what I knew would be in better concert with nature, producing food and peace from this small piece of land. And here I am a decade later, helping to bring more people into our Community. Connecting folks with the skills they need to start their own homesteads. Like processing chickens or canning. But the advice has not changed much. If we want something better, we have to figure out how to make that happen for ourselves. We have to move forward no matter what. We have to stop breaking the most important promises we have made to ourselves and just do it. But because we have grown as a community, we have changed too. No longer is the primary demon inaction. No no no. It turns out that overaction is a bigger problem for us now that we have surrounded ourselves with doers. There is always more we can do and we need a new skill: choosing to do the things that are most important. That move ourselves and our families forward. Whether your family be biological or chosen. Most of you missed my talk at LFTN24. Members, you will get it in the portal in about a month. We talked about having three areas of focus to move me toward my personal vision: Health, Wealth, Community. Three. Wealth is the thing that most of us hesitate to start building. It is the reason my advice is usually to get off your ass and try. But you have all grown beyond that. And so have I. Now it is time to get back on your ass and prioritize your three most important things. For me, my health has suffered as a result of delivering on my q1 and q2 promises. That is why I took last week all the way off.  While catching up on home and homestead tasks, it was clear we had turned a very important corner. We have grown to where more action does not build more health, wealth, and community. Focusing more effort on fewer things does. Building back time to keep the promises we make to ourselves (I'm looking at you my “quit smokers” and “more workouts” people) in service of our long-term life vision is important. Becoming more ruthless about what you might catch from investing time in something - like the news or a toxic relationship - is important. In short, when we started 8 years ago, we were like a tomato seedling pushing through the soil and putting on leaves. Our flourishing and future depend on pruning to allow for airflow and so we can focus our resources on the most important vines. What does this mean for LFTN: We are still here and will go back to three shows (and maybe 2 in the future) a week. I will not be speaking at events so much because the cost of being gone from the homestead and from all of you is higher than most speaker fees. In short, we are honing in on the things that bring true prosperity and happiness. I hope you will enjoy this journey with me - how are you honing in on better ways to bring your homesteading journey to what you want it to be?   Make it a great week!   Song:   GUYS!
