The moment you find out—the text, the confession, the lie collapsing in real time—can feel like the defining moment of your life. The shattering. The before and after. But what if that moment isn't your identity… and it's not your story? What if it's a threshold—where illusion collapses so you can finally choose truth, agency, and who you become next? In this episode, Lora Cheadle reframes discovery day (D-Day) as a threshold moment—not the event that defines you, but the doorway that returns you to truth. Betrayal is destabilizing, painful, and deeply disorienting, yet it also reveals what you could not previously see: where you've been living inside an illusion, what's real now, and what you're no longer willing to tolerate. Through personal storytelling and grounded reflection, Lora shares how healing isn't a single breakthrough—it's the life you rebuild through truth, boundaries, discernment, and conscious choice. This episode will help you stabilize after the shattering, re-anchor in your body, and begin seeing what's possible beyond survival. Top 3 Takeaways The shattering isn't the story—it's the doorway. Discovery day is the moment you can no longer live inside an illusion. It hurts deeply—but it's also the moment truth becomes available and choice becomes possible. You can choose again—at any point. Your first response doesn't have to be your forever identity. Healing happens through repeated, conscious choices as your agency returns step by step. Real safety comes from truth, not hope. Betrayal collapses illusions about who your partner is, what they're capable of, and what you've been carrying. Discernment begins when you clearly see reality and decide what you are—and are not—willing to live with. Favorite Quote “It's not the moment that breaks that matters. It's what you do after the shattering—again and again—that becomes your story.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Emotional Exhaustion and holiday burnout are very real experiences. Today we’re going to be talking about the post-holiday aftermath that many of us feel for a myriad of reasons. We are going to cover expectations—unmet and unspoken; the subsequent disappointment which follows and the straight up exhaustion of making Christmas happen for our loved ones. If we don’t pause for a moment following the holidays, we rush headlong into the long winter months with unresolved sadness, which impacts our mental and emotional well-being, making those January blues stronger. Our goal today is to equip you with space to process what happened or didn’t happen, reminders that you are not alone, and practical hope-filled tools to apply to the post-holiday aftermath you may be experiencing. Quotables from the episode: The living room is scattered with wrapping paper, ornaments are askew on the tree, and a fine layer of dust covers everything. Family has wandered off to pursue individual pursuits and you’re sitting alone. You did it. You curated gifts based on personal interests and desires. You planned special meals and made the once-a-year Christmas treats. But now the exhaustion sets in. You wonder if your family appreciates your effort, and you question whether it’s worth it. Crawling into bed and skipping the big family get together later that day sounds great. Instead, you pull yourself up and put another foot in front of the other. “Do the next thing,” you whisper, but wonder if you actually can. Today we are talking about How to Heal from Emotional Burnout and Holiday Exhaustion. Emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion is a real experience that many of us deal with. It can start as early as October or November and lingers into January. I love the reminders in Psalm 46 to be still, but it can be so hard to do. But when I keep reading, I see that knowing God and bringing him glory helps me frame being still inside the comforting knowledge that God is with me through it all. It’s the “all” that trips us up during the holidays. How do we determine how much or how little to do? How do we manage our expectations within the framework of stillness wrapped in God’s presence? One of the contributing factors in emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout comes from a motive to serve others and to create a special experience for them. It’s a good and noble desire to do this. The gift of hospitality, even to our own families, is a special way to show them God’s love. That’s where my desire comes from: I want to show my family love by doing for them. But when we neglect the best thing, we find ourselves running through the holidays in our own strength, which creates emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion. I love the sisters, Mary and Martha, found in Luke 10:38-42. These two women show us how to both serve and be still. I’ve never liked how Martha is shown as wrong and Mary as right. If we take the time to read what Jesus said, we learn there is a good way and a better way. Martha had good motives in serving Jesus and the other guests. In the context of healing from holiday exhaustion and emotional burnout, the desire to create a beautiful holiday experience is a good desire. Martha’s mistake was her unspoken expectation that her sister should be helping her create this amazing experience for the Lord. However, Mary spent her time listening at the feet of Jesus. While it looked like she was doing nothing, she shows us how being still is an active response. Spending time with Jesus is a better desire. It changes us from the inside out. Let’s explore how to hold both the good and the better in the same space and time. I’ve always had mixed feelings when it comes to the account of Mary and Martha. I want to be a Mary, but I definitely relate to Martha’s personally as a get-it-done kind of person. I can’t tell you how often I hear “I don’t know how you do all you do!” And in transparency, for many years, I wore that as a badge of honor, until doing became my downfall. One thing that has always stood out to me in the account of these two sisters is when Scripture says But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. It’s not that what Martha was doing was bad…it just wasn’t the best thing. It’s so easy to set aside our private, personal time with Jesus during the crazy, busy holiday season, and embarrassingly, I have succumbed to that at times. But what you’re saying is that healing from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion starts with being still with Jesus. It’s within the stillness with Jesus where we can be refreshed and guided for our next thing. We can ask the Holy Spirit to show us where we may have expectations that could lead to disappointment. I must continually remind myself that life is not a movie script, with perfectly plotted responses. There is no call for “Cut!” or “Go again.” Our family members deal with their own internal angsts, expectations, and disappointments, which clash with ours. If we start the day with Jesus and invite him into every part of our day, we can hold the good with the better and reveal both a Martha and a Mary side to our families and ourselves. Unmet expectations (of others and ourselves) can contribute to emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, so we have to be intentional when we want to change course. Addressing expectations by making time with Jesus a priority during the holiday season is vital, but let’s turn our attention to some practical steps. One step we can do post-holiday is to ask our families what traditions or activities are important to them. We may be doing all the things, but maybe we don’t need too. Taking the time to talk about expectations, and adjusting them going forward both helps to heal, and create self-guards going forward. A second aspect that crucial for our healing from emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout is to Create space in your life to rest and recover. There’s no universal required day to take down the decorations and return the gift bags to their storage space. Lay on the couch post-Christmas and New Years. Turn off the lamps and turn on the Christmas lights. Take time to rejoice in Jesus coming to earth for you. Contemplate God with us. Be still and know he is God. Depending on how depleted, fatigued, or burned out you may feel, I would add to that to create a “recovery zone”. Pick a short window every day, even if only 10-20 minutes, where you intentionally do nothing that requires output. Instead, sit with a cozy drink, listen to calm music, step outside for a breath of fresh air. This sends your nervous system the message: “I am safe. I can rest.” The fourth suggestion we have for how to heal from emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout is where we can learn from Mary. I’d suggest a brief post-holiday evaluation can be very helpful by answering two questions. First, What wore you out? Second, What gave you life? Taking the time for a post-holiday evaluation helps heal from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion because self-reflection helps our brain release what is internally keeping our mind in a state of stress, and is a way to prepare and protect your mental and emotional strength for the next year. This is where we realize where we may have lost sight of “God with us.” It’s easy to keep saying yes and to add more. Some years we have the capacity for a lot and other years we need to scale back. Three of my kids have birthdays in November, January, and February. Reserving energy for their births changed how I did Christmas, from the décor to the gifts to the food. And I discovered an important truth—it’s not so much what we do that makes Christmas special but the who. Who we are with and who we focus on. A fifth tip, which is really important, is to Replenish What Was Depleted. To do this, I would add a third question to the self-evaluation, and that is to ask yourself What did the holidays season drain the most? If it was sleep, commit to earlier nights for a week or two. If it was social energy, block out quiet evenings. If it was finances, enact a low-spend month or two. If it was emotions, journal what you carried and release it to God. We know that the level of emotional exhaustion or holiday burnout is different for everyone, and some years are worse than others, but with a shift in our perspective, a bit of self-reflection, communicating with our family, creating space to rest and recover, and intentionally replenishing what was depleted, we can experience healing from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion. Scripture References: Psalm 46:11-12 “He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Luke 10:38-42 “As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Podcast Show OverviewIn this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra welcomes back Julie Peck—a seasoned tech and growth executive and current CEO of Talent Neuron, a global leader in workforce intelligence. Returning after a powerful first conversation (“The Gift of the Curvy Path”), Julie brings both lived experience and a front-row seat to how AI is reshaping work, leadership, and the talent market.The conversation opens with the show's signature gratitude thread: Julie re-centers her enduring gratitude for her mother—an “anchor” figure defined by generosity, steadiness, and wisdom. From there, the episode expands into a bigger thesis: we're moving from a knowledge economy (being paid to “know”) to a wisdom economy (being valued for discernment, context, ethics, and humanity), right as AI accelerates technical capability faster than society's ability to govern it wisely.Julie explains what she's seeing in real time—from the lightning-fast evolution of “prompt engineering” (job → skill → everywhere) to the rise of AI agents, “managers of agents,” and even early signals around digital twins / digital clones. The discussion is both exciting and sobering: the future isn't just humans using tools—it's organizations learning to coordinate human employees + virtual workers while wrestling with ownership, ethics, and identity.They land the plane with an antidote: in a world speeding up, the advantage is learning to reclaim your humanity—through presence, boundaries, real conversation, and the ancient technology of the dinner table. Chris frames it as “slow food and fast cars” (Emilia-Romagna) and the “AND, not OR” mindset: use AI to amplify impact and protect what makes life meaningful. Key TakeawaysWe're shifting from “knowing” to “discerning.” AI can produce answers; humans are needed for wisdom, ethics, and context. The pace is the story. Roles like “prompt engineer” moved from nonexistent → hot → embedded in everything in about a year. Soft skills are becoming the real differentiator. Adaptability, learning agility, collaboration, and communication are what survive a fluid world. Digital cloning raises ownership questions. If your work footprint trains a “you,” who owns it—you or your employer/platform? Reclaim humanity through designed friction. Put the phone down, limit your digital exhaust, and build anchor points (like dinners) where real presence returns. Memorable QuotesJulie Peck: “I call that reclaiming your humanity.” Chris Schembra: “The dinner table is truly the last thing that AI can get to.” Julie Peck: “The technical capabilities of AI are evolving far faster than the world's ability to be wise about how we build it and interact with it.” Julie Peck: “Put the phone down and talk to each other and actually look each other in the eyes.” Julie Peck: “If you're standing at Lake Geneva and you're looking at the Alps, don't try and take a picture of it. Just look at it.” Chris Schembra: “We're living through the collapse of the knowledge economy… What if we've been playing the wrong game all along?” Julie Peck: “We don't understand the rules of the game… and we're unprepared for it.”
It all starts with and goes back to who you are. Not just who you are as an individual, but who you are together. Your team. Your organization. Your movement. If you're stuck. If progress feels slow or painfully circular. If you're working hard but not moving forward sustainably… Chances are, it's not a strategy problem. It's not a talent problem. It's not a goal-setting or execution problem. It's an identity problem. In this episode, I unpack why so many teams end up in what I call Spinsville—endless conversations, competing perspectives, and lots of motion with very little momentum—and why the root cause is almost always a foggy, fractured, or misaligned narrative identity. Because who you believe you are determines what you can create. In this episode, I explore: Why teams spin in circles even when the data, strategy, and intentions are good How misalignment around "who we are" quietly drains energy, trust, and momentum Why identity—not strategy—is the true source of organizational function or dysfunction A simple story that reveals how narrative identity shapes behavior (even when no one's watching) Why you can't skip straight to creating a new narrative without understanding the one already operating The three essential steps for narrative identity transformation: Reveal what's hidden and invisible Reclaim shared meaning from your stories Reframe a narrative identity that fuels forward momentum I also connect this work to conversations I've had with David Hutchens and Hans Hansen, and share why sense-making—not just storytelling—is where real alignment is forged. When a team shares a clear, connected narrative identity, everything else gets easier: strategy, decisions, priorities, execution, innovation. When that identity is fractured, no amount of planning will save you. If your team has been spinning its wheels, this episode will help you understand why—and show you where to start if you're ready to get your creating power back. Want to go deeper?

Have you ever stopped yourself from asking for help… not because you couldn't—but because somewhere deep down, you believed it would cost you? That if you ask your husband to do more around the house, you'll somehow have to repay him—through silence, sex, or self-sacrifice? You're not alone. But you are allowed to outgrow that story. In this episode, we're unpacking what it really means to ask for support from your power—not your conditioning. This is about rewriting the roles we were handed: peacekeeper, people-pleaser, over-functioner. Inside, we'll walk through: How to uncover the subconscious "price tags" you've attached to your needs What happens when you stop asking like you're guilty How to shift into equal partnership (instead of emotional caretaking) Why your needs aren't too much—and never were The exact language I teach clients to use when making empowered asks This episode is especially for the woman who's done doing it all—while silently seething that no one notices. If you've ever found yourself resenting the very people you're pouring into… this one will hit home. This conversation will help you: ✔ Rewire the "good girl" programming that taught you not to need ✔ Step out of obligation and into reciprocity ✔ Reclaim your right to rest, receive, and expect more ✔ Lead your relationship without taking over your partner ✔ Call in deeper connection—without sacrificing yourself to get it Because the truth is: asking is not a burden. It's a boundary.

Every January, we're invited—sometimes pressured—to fix ourselves.New goals.New habits.New versions of who we should be.Instead of a New Year's resolution, I choose a word – or actually it seems to choose me.In this episode, I share my 2026 word and what it means to me—not as a concept to master, but as a lived, embodied practice. I reflect on the difference between performance and embodiment, and how so many of us were conditioned to perform for approval, safety, and belonging—often withoutrealizing it.Performance asks us to prove.Embodiment invites us to experience.This episode isn't about doing more.It's about the journey home to your own authenticity over seeking approval.A reflection to sit with / journal prompt:If I allowed myself to fly, what would that look like andhow would I feel?Resource mentioned in this episode: https://www.dianesorensen.net/drama-to-empowermentConnect with Diane:Instagram @dianesorensen.bbFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/diane.sorensen.589Join the conversation — share your takeaways or questions from today's episode by sending me a message on Instagram or Facebook.

When betrayal shatters your reality, your brain wants answers: Why did this happen? Why me? What am I supposed to do now? This episode offers a grounded, empowering lens—astrology as an energetic language—to help you understand patterns, rebuild self-trust, and move forward without giving your power away. Lora sits down with professional astrologer Vanya Banks (AstroBloom) for a refreshingly real conversation about what astrology actually is (and what it's not). Together they explore how birth charts can illuminate subconscious patterns, attachment dynamics, nervous system needs, and “soul lessons”—especially in the wake of infidelity or betrayal. You'll hear practical ways to use astrology for self-awareness, healing, ritual, and relationship insight, plus a grounded take on Mercury retrograde that replaces fear with clarity. Top 3 Takeaways Astrology isn't fate—it's insight. It reveals influences, patterns, and possibilities so you can make conscious choices (not excuses). Your Moon sign is a powerful healing tool. It can show how you seek safety, what soothes your nervous system, and where boundaries and self-nurturing matter most—especially after betrayal. Retrogrades are review seasons, not doom seasons. Mercury retrograde is an invitation to reassess communication and alignment—without handing your power over to “pop astrology.” Favorite Quote “Astrology brings the unconscious to the surface—so you can choose consciously instead of calling it fate.” About Vanja Banks Vanja Banks is an Astrologer, Soul Alchemist, and Embodiment Guide who supports women in awakening their soul remembrance, body wisdom, and cosmic magic through the portals of astrology, Tantra, and alchemy. After walking through profound personal losses - including the ending of a 14-year marriage and the dissolution of a life she'd built - Vanja was initiated by grief. What began as heartbreak became a sacred descent into self-remembering. Through astrology's archetypal language and the somatic rituals of Tantra - the sacred art of presence & embodiment - she found a roadmap back to wholeness, learning that grief is not something to “get over,” but a living current that reshapes us into more awake, tender, and embodied versions of ourselves. Today, she guides others through this same alchemy - transforming grief into growth, loss into liberation, and emotion into embodied wisdom.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Welcome to a brand-new year! If you’re like many, today might bring a mix of emotions. Excitement for a fresh start, anxiety over the unknown, or maybe even a lingering weight from the past. So many of us enter the new year feeling burdened by past mistakes, failures, or regrets. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep us stuck in shame, replaying the moments we wish we could erase. But here’s the truth: Our God is a God of redemption, of new beginnings, of fresh mercies every morning including this very one. Today, we talk about Trusting God's Redemption Over Your Past. We’ll explore what it means to step forward in faith instead of shame, to trust in God’s plans instead of our past, and to fully embrace the fresh start He offers us through His love and grace. Quotables from the episode: If stepping into this new year has felt more like stepping into a cloud of uncertainty, I want you to know that you are not alone. More importantly, you are not without hope. Today, we’re going to explore what God’s Word says about new beginnings and how we can release the past to walk confidently into His plans for our future. God is in the business of making things new. If you’re struggling to let go of past failures, hear this today—God is doing a new thing in your life. Will you embrace it? No matter what yesterday held, today is a new day, and His mercies are fresh and waiting for you. Practical Tip 1: Release What You Cannot Change Holding onto past regrets won’t change them. Take a moment to pray and surrender those memories to God, repenting where necessary and trusting Him to use even your mistakes for His glory. Practical Tip 2: Replace Shame with Truth The enemy often whispers lies of unworthiness and failure, but God calls you redeemed. Meditate on scriptures that remind you of your identity in Christ—because you are loved, valued, and renewed every day. Practical Tip 3: Set Your Eyes on the Future, Not the Past In Philippians 3:13-14, the apostle Paul encourages us, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...” Today, commit to focusing on God’s promises for your future. Each new day is a step toward the plans He has for you—plans filled with hope and purpose. Where there is uncertainty, seek God’s will for your future. Practical Tip 4: Surround Yourself with Encouragement Fellowship is key. The enemy would love to isolate you, but we were not created to be alone. Whether it’s through Christian friends, a church community, or inspirational books and podcasts, fill your life with voices that affirm your worth and point you toward God’s truth. When you're surrounded by encouragement, the journey to healing and new beginnings becomes much more manageable. Practical Tip 5: Start Each Day with a Fresh Perspective Begin every morning by thanking God for a new day and seeking His guidance. A short prayer or a moment of reflection can reset your mindset, reminding you that His mercies are new every day. Consider journaling your thoughts and prayers to track the fresh starts and breakthroughs God is bringing into your life. If you need a resource to start your day in God’s word, reflecting on His promises, I encourage you to pick up a copy of my book Today Is Going to Be a Good Day: 90 Promises From God to Start Your Day Off Right. Take a moment now to reflect on these steps. Ask yourself: What past burdens do I need to surrender? Which scriptures will I meditate on to replace shame with truth? Allow God to fill you with hope as you anticipate the new things He’s ready to do in your life. Friend, I don’t know what your past holds, but I do know this—God is bigger than your mistakes, greater than your failures, and ever faithful in His love. As you step into this new year, hold onto the promise that He is doing a new thing in your life. You no longer have to be weighed down by what was. Instead, embrace what is to come, knowing that God’s plans for you are filled with hope, purpose, and renewal. As you leave this episode, I encourage you to put these steps into practice. Tonight, reflect on the scriptures we discussed and commit to a fresh start tomorrow morning. Trust that each new day is a gift from God—a day filled with His mercy and love. Let’s pray together: “Lord, thank You for the promise of new beginnings. Help us to let go of the past and step boldly into the future You have planned. May we embrace Your truth over our shame, and may Your mercies renew us each morning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” Scripture References: Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

The world wants Christmas without Christ.Noise without silence.Consumption without conversion.In this episode of The Manly Catholic, James is joined by Fr. Dom for a direct, unapologetic conversation on Advent, Christmas, and why Catholic men must reclaim the liturgical calendar from a culture that hijacks it every year.Advent was never meant to be sentimental. It was penitential. It demanded prayer, fasting, discipline, and preparation. Historically, it was forty days for a reason. In this episode, Fr. Dominic breaks down what Advent actually is, why it was shortened, and how consumerism has stripped Catholic men of spiritual readiness.The discussion moves straight to the battlefield. The manger is not a decoration. It is a sermon. The wood of the trough points to the wood of the Cross. The swaddling clothes point to the tomb. The shepherds reveal the power of simple faith. Christmas is not comfort. It is confrontation.St. Joseph is held up as the model Catholic man. Silent. Obedient. Strong. Disciplined. A guardian who moves when God commands and protects his family without hesitation. This episode makes it clear: families collapse when men abdicate leadership, and cultures rot when fathers refuse to lead.This is not nostalgia. This is formation.Men are challenged to reject the secular calendar, slow down, embrace prayer and fasting, and intentionally lead their homes through Advent and Christmas the way the Church intended. Satan thrives on distraction, disorder, and passivity. The antidote is disciplined, obedient, sacrificial masculinity.If you are tired of shallow faith, distracted homes, and soft leadership, this episode is your call to act.Challenge Issued in the EpisodeReclaim Advent. Strip your life down. Reject consumerism. Commit to prayer, fasting, and discipline. Lead your household intentionally through the liturgical calendar, not the secular one.Products, Sponsors, and References MentionedMystic Monk CoffeeHarmel Academy of the TradesSt. Joseph as the model of masculine leadershipSt. Francis of Assisi and the first NativityThe Advent wreath and the liturgical calendarEarly Church teaching on Advent and Christmas3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode“Christmas doesn't start until Christmas Day. If you miss Advent, you miss the grace God wants to give you once a year.”“Satan does not want you to remember who you are, where you come from, or the traditions that keep families strong.”“If men lived disciplined virtue like St. Joseph, the culture would collapse overnight and rebuild itself rightly.”1 Immediate Takeaway for MenCreate order through discipline. Choose one concrete act of Advent penance or fasting and lead your home in it without negotiation. Masculine leadership begins with obedience to God.

Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel
Paige Clingenpeel is joined by Leah Fruth—Live Well Health Coach, fitness instructor, and writer—for an honest conversation about motherhood, grief, and whole-person health. Leah shares how losing her mom while helping care for siblings and raising a young son deeply impacted her physical and emotional well-being. Together, they explore the biblical call to steward our bodies as a gift from God and why valuing ourselves is a spiritual issue, not a selfish one. They also discuss how unforgiveness can weigh heavily on the body and why surrendering our health to God matters. This episode offers simple, practical steps for slowing down, breathing, and caring for your body with intention. It's a meaningful reminder that honoring our bodies is one way we honor our Creator.Resources:Leah Fruth's websiteLet's Reclaim the Truth About Our Body (eBook by Leah Fruth)Paige Clingenpeel's websiteQuestions About the Podcast? Email: paigeclingenpeel@gmail.comFacebook: @Paige ClingenpeelInstagram: @paigeclingenpeelYouTube: Embracing Your Season sponsored by HomeWordHomeWord.com Paige's Takeaways:Being a good steward of our bodies is one way we communicate to God that we value His creation. Caring for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health honors the life He has entrusted to us and reflects gratitude for the body He designed.Unforgiveness carries a real heaviness in our bodies. It often shows up as stress, tension, or emotional exhaustion. Forgiveness is not about excusing wrongdoing, minimizing pain, or always reconciling—it's about releasing the burden of justice into God's hands and freeing ourselves from carrying what was never meant to be ours.Boundaries are incredibly powerful. Saying no can be difficult, especially when we want to please others, but healthy boundaries are a clear sign of stewardship and emotional health. They protect our energy, reduce unnecessary stress, and create space for what God has truly called us to say yes to.Hashtags:#EmbracingYourSeason #PaigeClingenpeel #LeahFruth #Health #Wellness #Motherhood #Christian #Faith #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #HomeWord #PFCAudioVideo Send us a text

Click here to send me a quick message :) What is arousal and how is it related to your vagus nerve, past trauma or feeling unsafe, your stress levels, or even your body just being built differently?In today's medley episode we explore all of these concepts. In this liminal time out of time that is "holiday season" there is often an overstimulation happening, but also an invitation to slow down. I heard recently that this time of the year is when a large percentage of babies are conceived and I wonder how much that relates to this reflective inner quieting that allows the rest of life to sort of fall away and couples to feel more connected, and perhaps a little more in their pleasure bodies, than in other times of the year.Maybe we can get a little curious about what contributes to this? How does taking time off of work, rest and reflection, the invitation to celebrate and feel hopeful impact our nervous systems and our capacity for pleasure?Just some meandering questions for you to ponder with me if you'd like. But if you want to get a little nerdy with me - learn about the vagus nerve, the organ that is your cervix and what pleasure potential lies there, and som reflective perspectives from occupational therapist Laura Rowan on what might be getting in the way of or enhancing your pleasure, this episode is perfect for you.Resources:Free classsss Jan 13th!

Longing After Betrayal: Grieving the Future You Thought You'd Have There's a very specific ache that shows up after betrayal—especially during the holidays. It's not just missing a person. It's grieving the future you thought you were building…and the version of you who once believed in it. In this episode, we talk about longing—not as a problem to fix, but as a signal of healing, a doorway back to self-trust, and a gentle bridge into what's next. Longing after betrayal can feel confusing and even scary—because wanting, hoping, and believing once led to pain. But longing isn't weakness, and it doesn't mean you're stuck or that you “made a mistake.” In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why the holidays amplify longing (hello, Hallmark movies), why longing is often grief and love intertwined, and how longing can become a powerful compass back to self-trust. You'll learn how to honor the future you lost without rushing into a new one, and you'll be guided through a presencing practice and intentional silence to help regulate your nervous system and listen inward. Plus, Lora invites you into her $26 Vision Board Workshop on January 10—a gentle, guided container to help you reconnect with what still matters and shape what comes next without pressure. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Longing doesn't mean you want your old life back—it means something meaningful mattered. You're not “doing it wrong” if you ache; you're human, and you're grieving a future you imagined. 2. After betrayal, many women don't stop trusting others—they stop trusting themselves to want again. Avoiding longing isn't failure; it's protection that hasn't been updated yet. 3 Longing can become a compass when you stop trying to resolve it. Instead of asking “What do I want next?” try asking, “What does my longing still care about?”—and let that guide you gently forward. Favorite Quote “Longing isn't asking you to go backwards—it's asking you to acknowledge how far you've come.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Palliative care physician and certified physician development coach Christie Mulholland discusses her article, "Reclaiming physician agency in a broken system." She shares her personal story of leaving a prestigious academic position after realizing that "being a good doctor" was impossible within the constraints of corporate health care. Christie explains how for-profit entities now control seventy-eight percent of hospices, leading to worse patient care and deep moral injury for clinicians. The discussion explores the four paths physicians can take to reclaim agency: working within the system with boundaries, building alternatives like direct primary care, organizing through unions, or planning a strategic exit. Christie emphasizes that while the system is broken, physicians still have the power to make conscious choices about how they engage with it.

Modern children's content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums, and when screens are removed This deliberate design exploits the brain's orienting response, rewiring developing nervous systems toward novelty-seeking while impairing sustained attention, executive function, and emotional regulation — effects supported by studies linking fast-paced media to ADHD-like symptoms and long-term attentional deficits These same dopamine-hijacking tactics have permeated broader society, from addictive processed foods to social media and pornography, shifting us from sustained serotonin-based happiness and presence to fleeting, hollow spikes that leave people feeling disconnected, depleted, and perpetually unsatisfied This engineered addiction is especially damaging in romantic relationships, where the cultural push for intense dopamine highs and excitement erodes the capacity for deep, stable, and truly nourishing intimate bonds built on genuine connection and contentment A healthy, non-depleted nervous system naturally resists the pull of these artificial dopamine spikes, allowing us to appreciate subtler and more authentic sources of joy; ultimately, escaping this trap and reclaiming a vivid connection to life requires restoring nervous system health and vitality — a key focus of this article
If Jesus said that faith even as small as a mustard seed could move mountains…then why are so many of your mountains still standing?Unfortunately, Christian husbands living the nice guy lie are told that all they need is a teeny tiny speck of faith. If that's the case...then...Why is your marriage still stuck, your finances capped, your health unchanged, your inner world still heavy… even though you “believe” and you've been told that “even a tiny mustard seed of faith is enough”? In fact, many Christian husbands struggle with weak faith and stagnant growth in their marriage, finances, and personal well-being, despite believing the common teaching about tiny faith. In this teaching, I'm going to show you something that might upset a lot of Sunday school lessons:Jesus never talked about the small size of your faith.He talked about the nature of it.We're going into the Greek, the interlinear, and the actual word Jesus used. Then we'll look at what mustard actually does in the wild: it's invasive, dominant, environment-transforming. And you're going to see that the faith that moves mountains is not a cute, tiny speck… it's an invasive, aggressive, environment-changing belief that crowds out doubt, fear, and passivity.Once you see this, it will change:How you prayHow you fight for your marriageHow you go after healing, provision, and breakthroughHow you interpret “unanswered” prayers in your lifeAnd if you're a Christian husband who's tired of praying tiny prayers while your marriage slowly dies… this is your wake-up call. Heaven is not asking you for a polite speck of faith. Heaven is inviting you into a wildfire faith that rewires your inner world, rewrites your story, and forcefully invades the darkness and the world around you.Stop playing the polite Christian Nice Guy role. Start becoming a masculine force to be reckoned with.
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Christmas is often called the most wonderful time of the year, yet for many, it’s also one of the most exhausting. Between the holiday to-do lists, family obligations, and the weight of expectations - both our own and others’- this season can leave us physically weary, emotionally drained, and even spiritually depleted. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Today, we’re talking about how to release those expectations, embrace true rest in Christ, and find renewal in Him. If your soul feels weary, this conversation is especially for you. Today we’ll be talking about Hope for the Weary Soul. Quotables from the episode: It’s no surprise that Christmas can leave us feeling depleted. We put pressure on ourselves to create the perfect holiday - perfect gifts, perfect décor, perfect meals and table settings, and perfect gatherings. Social media only adds to this burden, making it seem like everyone else has it all together. But the truth is, exhaustion isn’t just about being physically tired. It’s about the weight we carry in our hearts - disappointment, grief, unmet expectations, and the struggle to meet everyone’s needs, often while neglecting our own. Jesus knew we would experience this. That’s why in Matthew 11:28, He says, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. He invites us to exchange our striving for His peace. But that requires us to let go of what we were never meant to carry in the first place. If you’re feeling weary, I encourage you to take a moment and ask yourself: What am I holding onto that God never asked me to carry? Maybe it’s the expectation of making everyone happy. Maybe it’s guilt over what you can’t do. Maybe it’s the grief of a loved one who isn’t here this Christmas. Whatever it is, the first step toward rest is recognizing what is making us weary and laying it at Jesus’ feet. Christmas is a busy time with many annual traditions and expectations. Others have expectations of us, we have expectations of others, and we have expectations of ourselves. As a result, sadly, it’s a recipe for failure. Part of the problem with expectations is that it’s impossible to meet unvoiced expectations. Everyone’s picture of the holiday varies. Some celebrate with family on Christmas Eve, others celebrate on Christmas. Some families draw names for gifts and possibly set a monetary limit, while other families give gifts to everyone. Some families get up early while others sleep in late. There is as much variability to the who, what, when, and where of the celebration as there are people celebrating. So how do we actually release those expectations? It starts with shifting our perspective. The world tells us Christmas is about performance, about how much we do, how beautiful we make it, how much we give. But God’s Word tells us something different. Christmas is about receiving. Receiving the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. Martha was distracted by all the preparations, while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, simply being with Him. And what did Jesus say? Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Does that ever sound like you? I’ve certainly been guilty. This season, instead of being like Martha - running from one thing to the next, trying to make everything perfect, and meet a list of unspoken expectations - what if we chose to be like Mary? What if we sat at His feet, even in the middle of the chaos, and let His presence be enough? One practical way to do this is by setting boundaries. Say no to the things that drain you. Say yes to the things that nourish your soul. You don’t have to attend every event, bake every cookie, or create a Pinterest-worthy Christmas. Choose rest. Choose Jesus. Releasing expectations is only part of the equation. True renewal comes when we replace striving with abiding. John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. When we stay connected to Jesus, He renews our strength. One way to abide in Him this Christmas is by spending time in His Word. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, let Scripture be your source of renewal. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. When we take time to be with God, He refreshes our weary souls. Christmas isn’t about what we do. It’s about what’s already been done for us through Christ. No matter how much is on your plate, you don’t have to carry it alone. Jesus came to bring us peace, not pressure. So this Christmas, let’s step out of striving and into His rest. Prayer for the Weary Soul Heavenly Father, we come before You weary, but we know that You are our source of strength. Help us release the burdens we were never meant to carry and rest in Your perfect peace. Teach us to abide in You, to embrace Your presence above all else, and to find renewal in Your love. Thank You for the gift of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. In His name, we pray. Amen. Scripture References: Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Luke 10:38-42 tells the story of Mary and Martha. “Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” John 15:4 says, Abide in me, and I in you. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

Caitlin Krause, author of Digital Wellbeing, argues that intentional design unlocks genuine connection within virtual spaces. Drawing on her teaching at Stanford and the University of Oregon, she's explored how XR environments can foster asynchronous connection and ambient awareness for people who crave belonging without hyper-social performance. Her framework rejects the "digital detox" model entirely—instead advocating for dignity-first design where users match attention with authentic intention.The hosts debate the deeper question: what happens to human purpose when AI handles all labor? Rony Abovitz frames this as the "asymmetry of design"—it's easy to build addictive tech, hard to build wellbeing tech. Caitlin counters that we may return to the original meaning of "amateur" (from amor, "to love"), where humans find meaning through play, creativity, and what Harvard's lifespan study confirms: quality of relationship and presence. The conversation spirals from platform ethics to post-work society to what first principles we should use when designing XR.5 Key Takeaways from Caitlin:Loneliness is a biological prompt to find another human—not a void to fill with endless content. XR can foster genuine forms of connection without requiring hyper-social performance.Dignity-first design unlocks freedom, invention, and agency. When digital spaces prioritize user agency over engagement metrics, people report feeling like they "got their life back."Science will soon prove what we already know about fractal patterns in nature and digital signals. The key is designing digital experiences that resonate with how humans biologically thrive.The "middle path" between nature and digital is both/and. Gamers building entire lives in virtual worlds can be healthy when those worlds offer creativity, belonging, and meaningful challenge.The post-labor economy needs a reset in literacy and values. When AI outperforms human workers, purpose shifts from survival to what makes you feel alive—maker culture, digital fab labs, hands-on creation, and "amateur" pursuits driven by love.In the News: Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi's MGX close the $50 billion TikTok spin-off deal. Meta cuts Reality Labs by 30%, but CTO Andrew Bosworth says it's moving to AI. The TCL glasses demo 70 grams of lighter, more advanced XR hardware than Ray-Ban Meta—proving that smart spending beats mega-spend.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
When high performance turns into identity loss, success can feel empty. This episode helps high-capacity humans recognize the quiet signs of identity drift — and begin returning to the truest parts of themselves with presence, peace, and belonging.High performers rarely talk about the quiet moment when they stop recognizing themselves — not because they're failing, but because years of performance-based living slowly bury the truest parts of who they are.In this reflective episode, Julie guides high-capacity humans through the emotional and spiritual landscape of identity drift, success fatigue, and the subtle burnout that comes from being everything to everyone except yourself.You'll learn:• why success feels empty when you've been leading from pressure instead of presence• how identity drift begins long before burnout ever appears• the connection between nervous system safety and feeling “at home” in yourself• why slowing down feels scary for high achievers — and why it's the first sign of healing• what happens in your body when identity margin expands rather than collapses• how to recognize the parts of you performance pushed aside — and invite them back• the difference between “doing identity work” and actually becoming yourself again • why beloved identity — not behavior — is the foundation for sustainable growth • how figures like David in Scripture modeled returning to God as returning to selfIdentity-Level Recalibration (ILR) DistinctionThis is not another mindset reset, habit stack, or productivity shift.ILR works at the identity-root — where your nervous system, beliefs, and sense of belonging converge.It's the recalibration that makes every other tool effective again.Micro Recalibration (for individuals + teams) Ask: “Which part of me went quiet to make my life work — and what does it need from me now?”Then notice:• What shifts in my body as I acknowledge that part?• What emotion or memory rises with it?• What would it look like to give this part 2% more room today?Team Extension:“What version of ourselves shows up at work — and what would shift if we led from presence instead of pressure?”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find their way back to themselves.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Dive into the unrelenting fire of Joe Oltmann Untamed, where Joe exposes the fraudulent election system that threatens every American vote from city councils to the federal level and warns that surrendering now would slit the throat of the people. Joe fires back at claims the 2026 midterms are already locked, declaring the machines can't be fixed and the entire rigged apparatus must be torn down. Meanwhile, President Trump delivers wins for Americans: massive housing market reforms to slash mortgage costs and a "Warrior Dividend" sending $1,776 checks to every military member before Christmas. Dan Bongino announces his exit from the FBI in January, sharing his raw sacrifice, while Hollywood pushes a George Floyd biopic titled "Daddy Changed the World" a trailer that leaves Joe speechless at the propaganda machine.Retired IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent Brian L. Berntson joins Joe to rip open America's tax slavery. With 22 years hunting money launderers and pioneering global task forces, Brian dissects the massive Somali fraud draining hundreds of millions from child nutrition programs, NGO shields hiding kickbacks, and suspicious ActBlue smurfing patterns flooding Democrat coffers. He lays bare how Americans surrender over half their earnings to a 75,000-page tax code rigged for elites while the IRS arms up to target everyday citizens—not the real cheats.Joe confronts the toxic "White Man Bad" narrative. A shocking Rasmussen poll reveals 31% of Americans disagree or aren't sure it's "OK to be white," while data shows white men disproportionately fund entitlements. Clips expose ungrateful immigrants mocking taxpayers, Portland liberals in googly-eye vests shielding illegals from ICE, heated confrontations with mayors blocking deportations, and activists swarming agents. Joe declares: the white man gave everything, welcomed all, and paid the bill—now it's time to reclaim America for Americans first. This is "Joe Oltmann Untamed": raw truth, righteous anger, and the battle cry to take our country back. Tune in and fight!
Start Your Transformation Now In this profound continuation of the Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026 series, Jim dives into the core teaching behind spiritual seniority—our true source of power, clarity, and creation. He explains why most people unknowingly give their seniority away by living entirely from their 3D identity and absorbing noise from the external world. Through stories, shamanic teachings, and real-life examples, Jim shows how forgetting who we are at the soul-level disconnects us from guidance, peace, and our ability to create an extraordinary life. Jim goes deeper into how the modern world has pulled us out of our center: social media, the 24/7 news cycle, hyperstimulation, and constant mental activity hijack attention and weaken our spiritual awareness. He shows how reclaiming seniority begins by stopping “the world”—reducing external input, grounding, getting quiet, and reconnecting to the silent intelligence within. This is the foundation for aligning with your spiritual essence and shaping 2026 from a place of inner authority. If you're ready to step out of mental chaos, reclaim your power, and access deeper guidance, this episode will help you return to your true nature. Seniority isn't something you earn—it's something you remember. And when you remember it, everything in your external life begins to change. What You'll Discover in This Episode: Why most people can't access their spiritual seniority (02:49) Jim explains how identifying with the ego and 3D identity blinds us from experiencing our soul and its higher guidance. The two identities you're living from—only one of them is real (09:01) You'll learn the difference between your human container and your spiritual essence, and why confusing the two keeps you stuck. How modern life erodes your spiritual awareness (14:48) Jim breaks down how news, social media, overstimulation, and constant noise disconnect you from the inner silence needed for seniority. The shamanic mandate to “stop your world” (18:06) Discover Don Javier's teaching on stopping the external world so you can change your internal world—and why this is the gateway to spiritual power. A 30-day practice to reclaim your seniority (20:59) Jim outlines a practical reset—removing social media, limiting news, grounding, and practicing silence—to help you reconnect with your soul. How silence reconnects you with divine intelligence (27:08) Hear why even five minutes of genuine stillness activates healing, clarity, and access to higher awareness. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Your seniority isn't lost—it's simply buried under noise, distraction, and over-identification with your 3D identity. When you stop the external world long enough to sit in silence, you open the door to guidance, healing, and deeper truth. Reclaim your power by turning inward. Remove the noise for 30 days, reconnect with the stillness within you, and you'll rediscover the spiritual authority you've carried across lifetimes. From that place, 2026 becomes a year you create—not a year that happens to you. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?
