Have you ever wondered if you were really saved — or if you were just going through the motions of religion? In this raw and honest episode of the #MoreThanJustPretty Podcast, I share my personal testimony of realizing that for years I thought I was living as a Christian… but I wasn't truly walking in a real relationship with God. In this video we'll talk about:    •    The difference between religion vs. relationship with Jesus    •    Why so many people think they're saved but aren't truly born again    •    What it actually looks like to live in obedience to God (not culture)    •    Why Western Christianity often misses the heart of the Gospel    •    How to know if you're really walking with God or just following traditionThis year, God opened my eyes to what it really means to follow Christ—and it's nothing like the watered-down Christianity the world presents. If you've ever felt unsure about your salvation, or wondered if you're truly living for Jesus, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Don't just settle for religion. God is calling you into a REAL relationship with Him. If this blessed you, make sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more faith-based conversations about purpose, relationships, and walking boldly with God.#Christianity #Testimony #BornAgain #RelationshipWithGod #Obedience #Faith #JesusSaves #WesternChristianity #MoreThanJustPrettyPodcastSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/morethanjustpretty8749/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this high-energy episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed welcomes the dynamic Penny Goffman, connector, community builder, and curator of the POWERUp series at HAYVN. Penny shares how her lifelong gift for connection has shaped her career, and how authentic relationships are the true foundation of community and collaboration. Key Takeaways: Connection is a Superpower A strategy from childhood vacations to high school leadership roles to entrepreneurial ventures, gave Penny the chance to use her natural abilities to connect with people. What sets her apart is how she's transformed this gift into a professional strategy, building communities, creating partnerships, and curating spaces for women to thrive.  Networking Should Never Feel Like a Transaction Penny challenges the traditional idea of networking as a numbers game or sales tactic. Instead, she models a relationship-first approach: listen more than you talk, ask questions, and stay curious. This philosophy builds trust and opens the door to lasting collaboration. Instagram is a Great Relationship Nurturing Tool Penny (@thatpennylife_) leverages Instagram as a natural extension of real-world interactions. She's built entire partnerships and friendships through a thoughtful DM, a quick emoji reply, or a congratulatory comment on a story. Over time, these small, consistent interactions build a foundation for deeper conversations and business alignment.  Relationships Take Time, but They're Worth the Investment Penny emphasizes that strong business relationships develop gradually. Instead of rushing to collaborate, she lets synergy develop naturally. Some of her biggest partnerships have started as casual conversations and evolved over months or even years. Everyone Can Be a Connector While Penny's connection skills come naturally, she believes the art of connection can be learned. Her “pro tip”? Start with a genuine desire to understand others. When you're truly listening, your brain will naturally begin connecting the dots between people, ideas, and opportunities.  The HAYVN POWERUp Series Is a Masterclass in Curated Community POWERUp is Penny's event series that brings together powerhouse women in a welcoming, intentional environment. It's not about volume; it's about quality: curated speakers, aligned sponsors, and attendees who are eager to grow personally and professionally.  You don't need to be an extrovert to be an effective connector, you just need to be thoughtful, curious, and generous.

Many have come to believe that AI is a universal solution for managing repetitive tasks and a panacea for improving productivity. But is it realistic to think that machines can replace humans in a world built on connection and belonging? Our soul, or life force, is the essence of who we are and cannot be replicated by a machine; instead, it relies on human connectivity and interdependence to thrive and flourish. As we navigate this new era, the question of human-machine coexistence looms. We are living in rapidly changing times in which AI is altering the way we learn and work, but it cannot replace the magic of human-to-human relational engagement.To explore the boundaries of machine learning and achieve emotional intimacy, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen interviews Dr. Allison Pugh, a professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University and the 2024-25 vice president of the American Sociological Association.Allison discusses the research that led to her latest book, The Last Human Job, including the dilemma at the crossroads of AI and mental health, the impact of prioritizing data collection on human connective labor, and what is lost in artificial intelligence versus human interaction.This episode is proudly sponsored by:Function Health— Offers a revolutionary platform putting healthcare technology in our hands to live 100 healthy years.

What if the key to growth wasn't more leads, but deeper relationships?Ronen Olshansky is the Co-Founder & CEO at Connected Success and business partner to Keith Ferrazzi—best-selling author of Never Eat Alone, the book that completely redefined how we think about networking. Together, they created the Beyond Connections program, which helps leaders turn those principles into real-world practice through action, community, and systems that actually scale trust.In this episode, we unpack how advisors can move beyond surface-level connections and outdated networking tactics, and start building real, reciprocal relationships that compound over time.Ronen shares how to replace scattered follow-ups with a repeatable relationship system—built on generosity, structure, and consistency. You'll learn how to stay top of mind with the right people, deepen trust over time, and turn your network into the most valuable asset in your business.3 of the biggest insights from Ronen …#1.) A Simple System to Strengthen Key RelationshipsRonen shares a simple but powerful system for relationship management: use a “second brain” to quickly capture key details after every conversation—whether it's a voice memo, note, or text to yourself—then block time each week to follow up, add value, and stay connected with your most important relationships. Paired with a dashboard to track touchpoints and relationship strength, this system keeps you consistent, intentional, and top of mind.#2.) How to Measure (and Deepen) Relationship Quality Over TimeInstead of categorizing contacts by titles or roles, Ronen introduces the RQ framework—from RQ1 (a new connection) to RQ5 (an inner-circle lifeline). It's a simple but powerful way to know who you should be investing in, and how often.#3.) Hosting Dinners That Create Connection and Open DoorsTired of stale networking events? Ronen breaks down the “Jeffersonian dinner” format—a structured, one-conversation experience that helps you connect high-level guests, spark meaningful discussion, and become the hub of your network.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/123FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a 15% discount on Ronen's 8-week program, "Beyond Connections."To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "123" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

With more people on the planet than ever before – with most having constant digital access to one another – there is an abundance of potential relationships available to us. Despite this, there is also an increasing loneliness crisis across global society. What can evolutionary psychology teach us about this lack of meaningful relationships at a time of hyper-connectivity? In this week's Frankly, Nate reflects on the effects of technology on modern relationships, and how Dunbar's number infers a ceiling on the number of people we can meaningfully interact with. He emphasizes the rare value of full attention in close relationships, and the implications of our current social dynamics as we face more turbulent times and a smaller world ahead. What are the negative effects of overextending our social networks and how does that shape the way we build community? How can we foster and strengthen connections with the people who are most important to us? Finally, what will our networks look like when the economic music speeds up or stops, and those who are closest to us become our most important support systems?

There's a quiet tension in love when you live with OCD—an unshakable feeling that something's off, followed by crushing doubt: Is this real, or is it just my disorder? You learn to second-guess yourself, to dismiss your instincts, to stay in places that feel unsafe because your brain tells you fear is always a lie. But what if it isn't?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova talks with marine biologist, Antarctic researcher, and Braving the Waves author Ally Kristan about the dangerous intersection of OCD and relationships. Diagnosed at 12, Ally knows how OCD can distort reality—how you can mistake manipulation for reassurance, red flags for intrusive thoughts, and chaos for normalcy.   Together, they explore the heart of the dilemma: How do you trust yourself when your mind has betrayed you before? OCD doesn't just invent fears—it can bury real ones, conditioning you to ignore the quiet voice that says, This isn't right.   They unpack how manipulative partners exploit OCD's vulnerabilities—love bombing, gaslighting, instability disguised as passion. And they offer a counterpoint: what safe, steady love can actually feel like.   This episode isn't just insight—it's an invitation. To stop gaslighting yourself. To reclaim your instincts. To step into relationships that feel like peace instead of war.   The question isn't can you trust yourself again. It's: are you ready to try? Let's get into it! In This Episode [00:03] Introduction to Ally Kristan [01:00] Understanding OCD's impact [01:24] Distinguishing intrusive thoughts [02:32] Toxic relationships and therapy [04:48] Recognizing red flags [05:38] Love bombing explained [09:29] Gaslighting and its effects [10:12] Identifying healthy relationships [14:22] The role of reassurance in relationships [15:05] Navigating compulsive behaviors [16:18] Understanding relationship dynamics [16:46] Understanding OCD and relationships [17:10] Healthy relationship dynamics [18:07] Identifying toxic traits [18:54] Consistency in relationships [20:01] Evaluating relationship feelings [20:32] Comparing friendships to relationships [22:18] Good days vs. bad days [22:56] Rebuilding trust in instincts [23:21] Meditation for clarity [26:43] Nature as a healing tool [27:13] Finding the right meditation [28:32] Time and practice for intuition [29:20] Differentiating symptoms [32:03] Closing thoughts and Ally's resources   Notable Quotes [02:09] “It is really difficult to know the difference between the OCD noise and something that your gut instinct is telling you, especially in relationships." — Ally [06:52] "Love bombing is definitely something to look out for, especially if it's somebody pursuing you who you're not initially interested in. That should be a little bit of a red flag." — Ally [08:42] "When you're with someone who does truly love you and have your best interest at heart, they're going to make it feel like loving you is easier than breathing." — Ally [09:37] "Gaslighting is when somebody is basically making you doubt your own sense of reality." — Ally [17:47] "I really do believe that if you're with somebody who's really making you safe and really does have your best interest at heart, it's not going to exacerbate your OCD symptoms." — Ally [28:40] "Trying to regain touch with your own intuition and mind again, it takes time and practice and consistency, but once you get there, it's like the floodgates are open and such a sense of restored peace." — Ally Our Guest Ally Kristan is a marine biologist, wildlife advocate, and author of Braving the Waves, a memoir exploring her journey with OCD and toxic relationships. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, NPR, and Audubon Magazine. Through speaking engagements and her Instagram (@UpYourAlly), Ally empowers others to reclaim self-trust and navigate mental health challenges with resilience.   Resources & Links   Kristina Orlova, LMFT Instagram YouTube OCD CBT Journal Tracker and Planner Website   Ally Kristan Website  Instagram Book Disclaimer Please note, while our host is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders in the state of California, this podcast is for educational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for therapy.

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast's “Building Better Businesses” season, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore business networking strategies that go far beyond the typical card-swapping routine. If you're tired of awkward mixers and forced conversations, this episode offers a refreshing take on how to grow your business by forming authentic, lasting connections. Rethinking Business Networking Strategies: Ditch the Script Rob opens the discussion by challenging conventional approaches to networking. Rather than focusing on formal events and elevator pitches, he suggests looking for genuine ways to connect with people—especially through community involvement. Whether it's volunteering at a local shelter or participating in a neighborhood cleanup, these are powerful, low-pressure opportunities to meet people and naturally talk about what you do. The idea is simple: show up, be yourself, and let the conversation evolve. People are more likely to support or refer someone they know personally—and trust. Subtle Business Networking Strategies That Feel Authentic One of Rob's favorite business networking strategies is what he calls the “subtle approach.” Wear your company's branded gear, drop your business into conversation naturally, and be curious about others. When you're helpful and relatable, people will often ask about your work without any need for a hard pitch. Michael backs this up with his own story of relocating to a smaller town during the pandemic. By simply exploring local shops, reading community magazines, and attending charity galas, he found himself embedded in a new business community. He highlights events hosted by local chambers of commerce and business groups as hidden gems for making meaningful connections—often with free food and drinks included. Business Networking Strategies for Small Towns and Tight-Knit Communities Michael emphasizes that effective business networking strategies work just as well in small towns as they do in big cities. In fact, they may work even better. Smaller communities often have tight-knit groups and frequent events where your presence won't go unnoticed. Whether it's a happy hour near a courthouse, a local fundraiser, or a meetup at a co-working space, the key is consistency and curiosity. Rob adds that personal hobbies can double as powerful networking tools. Attending concerts, joining book clubs, or playing weekend sports all provide opportunities to connect with people who share your interests—and may also need your services, or know someone who does. Relationship-Based Networking Beats Traditional Tactics Both hosts stress that business networking strategies should prioritize building relationships over making quick sales. Forget the speed-dating vibe of traditional events. The most valuable connections come from repeated interactions, trust, and shared experiences. Rob points out that seeing the same faces at recurring events—whether it's a community group or a niche meetup—creates space for conversations to deepen over time. You're not just a face with a business card. You become someone they know, like, and trust—which is the real foundation for long-term business success. Weekly Challenge: Put Your Business Networking Strategy into Practice To wrap up the episode, Rob issues a challenge: Think about your favorite activity outside of work. This week, find just one opportunity to casually mention your business during that activity. Whether it's in the form of a funny story, a branded shirt, or a natural mention in conversation—test the waters. If you already do this, challenge yourself to find a new activity or social space to expand your reach. Authentic visibility is key. Want more ideas like this?
