Weddings with rich traditions don't just need timelines—they need translators. In this episode, Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, Rima Shah joins CWP Society COO, Krisy Thomas to unpack the real work behind South Asian weddings: navigating multiple families, aligning expectations across generations, and setting boundaries that protect joy without steamrolling culture. From the first consultation to the final site visit, we share scripts, policies, and small shifts in language that build trust with parents and elders who may be new to professional planning.Rima walks us through the moments where things commonly go sideways—delegated catering oversight, competing design visions, and last-minute ritual requests—and shows how a single-point-of-contact policy, clearly defined roles, and genuine listening turn potential conflict into collaboration. You'll hear how reframing a single decor element preserved a couple's one big ask while making a mother proud, and how patient, active listening on a tense call revealed the true concern hiding beneath a list of demands: honoring a simple favor tradition at the right time.If you're a wedding planner working with South Asian families—or any event with layered traditions—this conversation gives you practical strategies to reduce friction: involve key family members early, document decisions, adapt to personality types, and connect every choice to what elders value most—respect, hospitality, and meaningful ritual. The result? Events that feel seamless to guests and deeply seen by family.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety

IntroGet ready to ditch those bubble baths and face masks because we're diving headfirst into the real deal of self-care! In this episode, I'm busting the myth that self-care is all about indulgence and pampering – spoiler alert: it's not! Real self-care is often about having those tough conversations, setting boundaries that might make people squirm, and saying no when you really want to say yes. We'll chat about how it's the nitty-gritty, uncomfortable stuff that transforms you, not just a cheeky spa day. So grab your cuppa, kick back, and let's explore how to truly care for ourselves in a way that actually serves our future happiness!Summary:What if everything you've been told about self-care is actually keeping you stuck? In this powerful Monday Myth Busting episode, Heather dismantles the wellness industry's most damaging myth—that self-care is about bubble baths, face masks, and spa days. Through raw personal stories (including caring for her parents and pulling off an intensive AI sprint weekend while managing a full life), she reveals what real self-care actually looks like: the uncomfortable conversations, the brutal boundary-setting, and the moment-by-moment internal dialogue work that nobody wants to talk about.What's Inside:Why the wellness industry's version of self-care is potentially harmfulHow Heather managed an intensive 3pm-midnight AI sprint both days while doing housework, writing her newsletter, and starting appointments at 9am Monday—without burning outThe brutal truth she learned while caring for parents running on absolute emptyHow NLP training taught her to reframe the relentless internal voice saying "I can't do this"Why standing in the garden for five minutes saved her more than any spa day couldThe raincoat metaphor that's better than the overused oxygen mask analogyThree Game-Changing Myth Busters:Self-Care Feels Good → Reality: Real self-care often feels uncomfortable (it's discipline disguised as kindness to your future self)Self-Care Is Indulgence → Reality: It's strategic energy management so you can actually help peopleSelf-Care Is Selfish → Reality: It protects your capacity to serve—it's not about you, it's about everyone you're meant to helpChapters:00:14 - The Reality of Self Care02:01 - The Real Work of Self Care06:25 - Understanding Real Self Care08:10 - Exploring Real Self Care10:43 - The Essence of Self-CareThis Week's Challenge: The "Uncomfortable Self-Care" ExperimentIdentify one act of real self-care you've been avoiding because it feels hard.

True spirituality isn't about mystical experiences or lofty ideals—it's about honestly facing and working with the reality of your inner world. The journey begins by realizing you've been reacting, resisting, and clinging to disturbing experiences, and then defining an ego that struggles to be relatively okay inside. Real growth begins when you start letting go of internal disturbances instead of learning to live with them. Through surrender, acceptance, and inner relaxation, you can rediscover your natural state of unconditional love and well-being. This is the real spiritual path—practical, grounded, and available to anyone willing to do the inner work. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik digs into a direct, practical conversation with Shannon Curtis—founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark.” Shannon unpacks how trauma shows up in the body, why sobriety and boundaries keep spiritual work grounded, and how a daily gratitude practice can shift your nervous system without bypassing pain. Expect clear, actionable steps: listen to the body, integrate the soul, and let gratitude train your mind. This is a straight-talk guide to moving from hurt to healing—without fluff.   About the guest  : Shannon Curtis is a coach and founder of Angel Goddess Healing. Her work blends body awareness, trauma-informed processing, and grounded spiritual practices. She's the author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark” and supports clients with preparation and integration for spiritual experiences alongside everyday habits that actually stick.   Key takeaways:   The body keeps score: recurring pain, cycles, and fatigue can be early signals to pause, listen, and respond with care—not shame. Healing is integrated work: mind tools (reflection), body tools (sleep, movement, sobriety), and soul tools (meaning, service) must align. Gratitude is training, not a mood: three specific gratitudes daily rewire attention toward what's working without denying hard emotions. Forgiveness is self-liberation: it's about releasing stored anger and reclaiming power—not excusing harm. Grounding prevents bypass: meditation, nutrition, alcohol-free living, and nightly review keep “love and light” tethered to real life. Boundaries are love in action: compassion and clear limits can co-exist; say no to protect healing. Integration matters: after any peak spiritual insight, convert it into small daily practices or it fades. Meaning reframes pain: asking “What is this teaching me?” helps transform experiences into service for others. Curiosity over judgment: with yourself and others, curiosity opens options where judgment shuts them down. Start small today: one minute of breath, one line of gratitude, one honest boundary. Consistency beats intensity.   Connect with the guest  : Website: https://angelgoddesshealing.com/Book: “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark” (details on her site)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

What happens when leadership isn't about having all the answers but knowing when to step in… and when to step back?

You're busy. Your team is busy. Everyone's working hard. But for all that effort, does it ever feel like not much actually gets done? According to today's guests, the culprit usually isn't laziness — it's lousy workflow design. Emails that should've been meetings, meetings that should've been emails, and half-finished projects clogging the system. In their new book, There's Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Get Rid of the Stuff That Gets in the Way of Real Work, MIT Sloan professors Nelson Repenning and Donald Kieffer show how smarter work design can cut through the clutter.

On this episode of Save The Date, Heath and Jamie get real about the fears and barriers that keep us from true intimacy. From forgiveness and past trauma to cultural pressures and emotional authenticity, this conversation explores what it really takes to let someone in. What's one fear you've had to face in order to connect deeply? #SaveTheDatePodcast #Vulnerability #LoveUnfiltered

It's about the work men have to do when the noise stops, and the feelings finally catch up.

Summary:   Spiritual alchemy isn't about light and love—it's about the fire. In this raw and riveting episode, Jason Rigby sits down with spiritual guide Cory Katuna to uncover the uncomfortable truths of transformation. From emotional safety to ego death, discover why the real work of awakening looks more like breaking than blooming—and why that's exactly the point.   Overview: Most people want spiritual transformation without the sweat, but Higher Density Living dares to go where few will. In this soul-shaking conversation, Cory Katuna returns to the show to dismantle the myth of “safe spaces” and exposes how comfort culture suppresses truth. She and Jason explore the sacred brutality of spiritual growth—where real safety is found not in validation, but in facing the fire of your own illusions.   From Cory's retreats where participants are told to “bring the ugly,” to her reflections on being overwhelmed by ego-dissolving truth, this episode navigates what it means to spiritually mature. The conversation traverses ego tricks, the hierarchy of truth, and the spiritual value of getting emotionally “burned.” If you've ever mistaken performance for presence or coddling for compassion, this one's your mirror.   Timestamps: 00:45 – The Myth of Safe Spaces: Why emotional safety ≠ spiritual growth. 04:20 – Bring the Ugly: Cory's retreat mantra for emotional alchemy. 08:10 – Truth Has a Hierarchy: Why “your truth” may not be the truth. 12:50 – Coddling vs. Holding Truth: How to aim high for someone you love. 18:35 – The Ego's Subtle Hijack: Performing spirituality vs. living it. 27:50 – Standing in the Fire: Why true awakening hurts—and why it's worth it. 33:00 – Head to Heart: Cory's practice for navigating ego death. 39:45 – Leadership & Loneliness: What isolation really means on the path.   Quotes: “Alchemy begins where comfort ends.” – Jason Rigby “The real work is separating ego from truth.” – Cory Katuna “Safe spaces often protect illusions, not transformation.” – Cory Katuna   Resources: Cory Katuna's Podcast: Perspective https://www.instagram.com/corykatuna/   Call to Action:   Are you ready to stop playing it safe and start evolving?

In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski challenges one of the most common—and misleading—phrases in school leadership: “Let's get on the same page.”While it may sound like alignment and feel like unity, this phrase often leads to passive agreement, false harmony, and a school culture built on appeasement—not real accountability.Chanie shares why being “on the same page” is no longer her goal—and how installing shared standards, guardrails, and team rhythms can transform your school systems and restore trust across your staff.If you're tired of repeating the same expectations over and over, this episode offers a leadership framework for creating clarity, follow-through, and sustainable team ownership—without micromanaging.What You'll LearnWhy “being on the same page” creates confusion, not clarityHow to lead with shared standards that drive school-wide accountabilityWhy rhythms and systems—not reminders—protect your school cultureA practical framework for restoring team ownership without overfunctioningWhat false harmony is costing you in terms of trust, time, and retentionHow to navigate team members with inconsistent follow-throughKey Insights“On the Same Page” Is a Leadership MirageIt creates a false sense of alignment while team members continue to operate with unclear expectations. Real school culture is built through systems, clarity, and ownership—not agreement alone.Standards Build Clarity—Ownership Creates StabilityYour team doesn't need the same words. They need the same follow-through. When team roles are clearly defined and reinforced, it reduces micromanaging and school burnout.Guardrails Make Standards StickSystems like recommitment rhythms, role clarity, and consistent follow-up help move your team from second-guessing and scrambling to anchored, confident leadership.Overfunctioning Leaders Block OwnershipWhen school directors or owners jump in to “just fix it,” it reinforces a culture of dependency and disempowers the team. Guardrails allow you to stop doing it all—and let your staff rise.The Guardrails Framework: Try This InsteadTired of repeating the same school standard over and over? Use this 3-part framework to reinforce shared ownership and sustainable systems:1. Define Follow-Through → What does success look like for each role? → Be specific, especially when addressing low accountability or inconsistent team members.2. Install a Recommitment Rhythm → Use weekly check-ins, midpoint reviews, or 1:1s to revisit standards regularly. → Don't build new rules—recommit to existing ones with intention.3. Clarify Ownership → Who is responsible for what? → Sustainable school operations require role clarity and systems that reduce friction.Memorable Quotes “You don't need matching words. You need matching follow-through.” “Culture isn't built by agreement. It's built by what we hold—together.” “If the standard is that children go home clean, your schedule must support that.”Why This Matters for School LeadersReduces the pressure of overfunctioning and the mental load of repeating standardsShifts team dynamics from passive compliance to real accountabilityHelps overwhelmed school directors install systems that actually stickStrengthens school retention and team trust by building predictable rhythmsProtects your school culture from burnout, resentment, and low follow-throughResources & Next Steps...

Deep spiritual growth is not about collecting more techniques but about releasing the inner disturbances we have stored from our past. These suppressed energies—called samskaras—remain inside, continuing to influence and limit our lives. Instead of struggling to cope with life's experiences, we can learn to welcome them as opportunities to release these past blockages. Over time, this leads to purification of the heart and the ability to remain undisturbed, even in the face of intense experiences.

How can you simplify your communication and teaching approach?Reflect on areas where you might be overcomplicating concepts for your team. Jeff emphasized that the average attention span of young people is 7-15 seconds, and coaches often make things more complex than necessary. Consider how you can break down your most important messages into simpler, more digestible pieces.2. What does authenticity look like in your leadership, and where might you be holding back from being vulnerable?3. How do you balance maintaining high standards with showing compassion during difficult conversations?**Jeff discussed the challenge of having tough conversations, including firing people, while still being compassionate. Reflect on your approach to difficult conversations - how do you "rip the band-aid off" while still considering the individual's needs and the greater good of the organization?4. What personal mission statement guides your coaching, and how does it show up in your daily interactions?5. How are you developing the whole person, not just the athlete or performer?Jeff outlined his four-part development approach: tactical, technical, physical, and psychological. The psychological piece - helping young people establish values that become their life compass - was his primary responsibility. Reflect on how you're contributing to character development and preparing your people for life beyond their current role.Download my FREE Coaching Beyond the Scoreboard E-book www.djhillier.com/coach Download my FREE 60 minute Mindset Masterclass at www.djhillier.com/masterclassDownload my FREE top 40 book list written by Mindset Advantage guests: www.djhillier.com/40booksSubscribe to our NEW YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsetAdvantagePurchase a copy of my book: https://a.co/d/bGok9UdFollow me on Instagram: @deejayhillierConnect with me on my website: www.djhillier.com

Now it's time to get to work! Andy Bunker and Abe Gordon explore the draft more closely, and evaluate the Hawks next steps.

The first principle is that no man can suffer for Christ until he is able to deny himself (Matthew 16:24). Self-denial naturally comes before sufferings. Beloved, in a time of suffering, the interests of Christ and of self meet like two men on a narrow bridge; one must of necessity go back or the other cannot pass on. If you cannot now deny self, you must deny Christ. The yoke and dominion of self must be cast off or else Christ's yoke and burden cannot be taken on.

Discomfort isn't a sign to quit—it's data pointing to where your next breakthrough lives. In this episode, we talk about how to stop running from discomfort and start using it.

After Episode 111—“Your Kid's Not Defiant, They're Dysregulated”—I heard from so many of you. You asked the hard questions, the real-life ones:“How do I support my kid when they're left out—again?”“What do I do when a friendship turns mean and messy?”“How do I help my sensitive son deal with bullying and still stay himself?”And today?

This episode explores why the most transformative growth happens after the end of an event (like conferences, masterminds or retreats) - and how to harness that energy intentionally. I just got back from the Flavor Media Summit in Savannah, and wow—what a whirlwind! Today I'm sharing from the heart while everything is still fresh. It's so easy to think the big work happens in the room—at the conference, on the Zoom call, during the retreat—but the truth is, the real transformation begins after you leave. I'll walk you through what that means and how to take meaningful steps forward once the initial energy fades. Action Plan: 1 - Pause and Reflect: Take intentional time to slow down and journal on what moved you the most from the experience. 2 - Choose One Anchor Action: Pick a single powerful idea and commit to it—don't overwhelm yourself with too many goals at once. 3 - Follow Up on Relationships: Reach out to people you connected with and nurture those new or deepened relationships. 4 - Protect Your Post-Room Energy: Carve out space to stay aligned and avoid tasks that drain your soul. 5 - Reframe the Crash: If you feel depleted, it's a sign of growth—honor that expansion instead of judging it.
