Quotables from the episode: Today, we're going to be talking about conquering the three enemies of mental health. We’re attacked by the enemy on a daily basis. The key is to recognize the attack and fight back with the right weapons. I grew up in an Islamic household. And so just growing up, my understanding of the character of God was distorted. And so I grew up believing in a different God, but I thought he was the right God. I came to know the Lord is through a dream about Jesus. Growing up, I battled with my own depression. I battled with anxiety, but I didn't know that they were clinical depression and anxiety. It's like I was high functioning. I thought anxiety was the norm. It was normal for me to think something bad is about to happen. I had the symptoms of the clinical diagnosis. And it was about, I'd say, early 20s or so, when my depression just got worse and worse, to the point of suicidal ideations because I felt like I was, I had no hope. I decided to blaze my own trail. And I mean, I drove into astrology. I drove into chakras, reiki, everything you can think of. I tried to figure out my own purpose in life. And none of that brought me the peace that I remembered feeling when I had a dream about Jesus. What's incredible is God is so kind and so patient with us. You know, he didn't stop pursuing me. He didn't throw in the towel on me. He just kept pursuing and pursuing and he knew I was going to hit a dead end at some point and I did. I decided to give my life to Jesus and after I gave my life to Jesus and I moved to South Carolina and I just started my life from scratch. The Lord called me to the field of counseling. I had never thought I was going to become a counselor, but I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time, and I just felt this call toward the field. So I went back to school, finished my clinicals, and then I started treating brothers and sisters in the faith from both a clinical and a biblical perspective. I could not believe just how many patients I had who were self -professing believers, who struggled with the same ideas and the same issues and negative thoughts and oppressions that I struggled with as a Muslim. I noticed that even believers are not equipped to fight against spiritual forces of darkness. They're not. How did your family take it when you became a believer in Jesus Christ? – They didn't take it well. I had experienced persecution because of that. And the reason I moved to South Carolina is for safety reasons. I needed to start my life from scratch, but of course they found me and you know the Bible says count the cost Jesus said count the cost and for me the count the cost was my mother my father brother sisters my family was everything to me and I was raised with I pledged my allegiance to my family and so my allegiance would have been divided. When Jesus says that basically you have to put him before your mom and dad, it's not that you need to hate them, it's that you need to love him more. How does scripture reveal the roles of the devil, the flesh and the world as adversaries to mental health? What I have seen my practice is the devil will do anything possible to split our faith in Jesus. So even if it's 90% in Jesus and 10% in the object of our faith, that's splitting your faith in Jesus. We were made for relationships. When we spend time with the Lord, when we spend time with God, there is a chemical that gets released in our body and that chemical is serotonin that chemical combats depression just naturally okay now what happens is because we have the wrong perspective of God. We don't spend time with Him. We think the Bible is outdated. A lot of people think that. They have actually done a research out of Biola University where they claim that God is, they found that most people believe that God is mean, harsh, or distant. Those are the top three adjectives they use to describe God. And because of all of that, we run to self -medicate. And so, we self -medicate by watching too much Netflix, too much TV, right? We don't pay attention. For overcoming enemy number one, the devil, you have to renounce your dealings with the kingdom of darkness. There's no way around that. Now, number one, if you're not a believer, you have to give your life to Jesus. And I feel like I have to say this because I have had patients who came to see me and said, "Can you do it for me because you're a believer? Can we bypass Jesus?" No, we can't bypass Jesus. That's just not how it works. And the reason they say that is because they believe Jesus is a dictator and they have the wrong perspective about him. And so, they don't understand that he's a God who pursued them to the point of dying on the cross for them to satisfy the righteous requirement of sin so that they can have a relationship with Him. And so, number one, you have to have a relationship with Jesus. Psalm 139 that says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that's offensive to you and lead me to the path of everlasting life." And just ask him to show you what in your life is taken priority or is not of him. And he will show you. It's a dangerous prayer, but he will show you. Don't ever think that God is condemning you because in Jesus there's no condemnation and God is not a man that he should lie. He doesn't lie to you. There's no condemnation. He may convict you if you're acting in a way that is incongruent to who you are in Jesus. But conviction says, "Hey, you should not have done that." Condemnation says, "Hey, you're a loser, you're this, you're that, and you'll never come back from it." There's a huge difference between the two. One, it redeems you. Because conviction is for the purpose of restoring our relationship with God. But condemnation serves to separate us. You know, when we feel guilty or condemned, we're embarrassed. And so, we separate ourselves from others and from God. So, there's a huge distinction between the two. The other area that the enemy gets a foothold besides lying to us is that very subtle did “God really say…? If he really loved you he would have X, Y, and Z.” It's that little word really that gets us to doubt what the Bible says about God. That's the oldest lie. It's the oldest lie. It dates back to Genesis and so what he does is he induces doubt. That's the cycle of enemy number one. He induces doubt and when he says “did God really tell you?” or “Does God really love you?” “Is God really looking out for you?” And he'll come to you, especially in times when you're desperate, then doubt leads to temptation and when you act on it and you don't receive God's forgiveness or you don't repent and receive God's forgiveness, it leads to shame and shame is going to lead to hiding. Unfortunately, we wear these masks and I call them defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms are basically masks that we wear in order to keep God from, I mean, he's trying to heal us, but we try to push him away and keep him from healing the wounds that he's trying to heal. And these defense mechanisms that we employ, and I list all of them in the book, but most common ones are denial, like we deny that there's an issue with us, or there's repression, meaning we don't deny the problem, but we deny its effects on us. We act like, “Oh, no, everything is fine. Everything is okay.” Meanwhile, God wants us to bear our hearts to him. He wants us to surrender our wounds to him. Another practical way is ask the Lord to prioritize your life. It's a dangerous prayer and it's a dangerous request because he will prune who needs to be pruned. Yes, he will. Anything that doesn't bear fruit, he’s going cut off. So, it is a risky prayer, but what a fruitful prayer. Yes, because we were made for his purpose, and we were made to bear fruit. He made us for a specific purpose. And so many times, we just hit one dead end after another, after another, and we live a frustrated life, but really we can live a fruitful life if we just surrender to him and ask him, "Lord, I can't do it by myself. I need you to please just prioritize my life according to your will." And he will, because he wants to be part of every detail of our lives. For the longest time, I had a habit of just waking up and I just felt like I would wake up with anxiety. And believe it or not, so many people deal with this. They wake up and it's like, as soon as their feet hit the floor, like their heart is racing. And what I have found, something that I have found that has helped me so much. And if you want to start this tomorrow morning, and it has a clinical and a biblical basis is tomorrow morning, when you wake up, because it has helped me, instead of first thing is checking your phone, checking your email, because that's what I was doing, is first thing you do, start thanking the Lord God, spend 10 minutes, even if you have to wake up 10 minutes earlier, spend time thanking God for 10 minutes for everything He has done for you. You can find something, even if you are in the midst of despair, you can find something to thank God for. When we start thanking God, there's a chemical in our brain that gets released. It's called serotonin and it combats depression. That chemical floods your body, first thing in the morning, and so it decreases anxiety and it raises, it almost puts a shelter around your brain for any depressive thoughts. That's from a clinical perspective. From a biblical perspective, the Word of God says the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. When we're thanking God for everything He's doing for us and thanking and for who he is, God's presence, God is love and his presence comes and inhabits our praises. God is love and perfect love casts out fear. So, the spirit of fear has to flee when God's presence is there. No matter how many mistakes you have made in the past, no matter how bad you had messed up in the past, that God's grace covers you and there's no way that you could have outrun God. God's grace covers you and his mercy is new for you each and every morning and so remember that and remind yourself of that. God is not looking down on you with a magnifying glass. God loves you and he is just in love with you. And it's the enemy who brings those thoughts that accuse you. The war over your mind doesn’t have to be lost.

In this episode, our returning guest expert (and favorite friend of the podcast!) Dr. Nacchi Felt joins us to unveil the brand-new Cycle of Accountability—the life-direction loop that helps ADHD brains point their power at the right targets.Inside the loop:Alignment — Name your values (think truth, responsibility, gratitude) so decisions stop feeling random.Accountability — Drop the “shoulds.” Hold yourself to what you care about.Attention — Your attention is your presence. Reclaim it as your birthright.Attachment — Safe relationships supercharge the loop and keep you present.But here's the deeper truth: safety and acceptance are the foundation that make this loop possible. Being “safe” means you can be fully seen and still contained—someone can sit with you in your hardest moments without pulling away. That's a rare experience for many ADHDers, and therapy or coaching can provide a version of that safety while you learn to build it yourself. From playful co-regulation with a child to a friend's honest reassurance, relationships that combine honesty and containment create fertile ground for growth. When you experience that kind of attachment, it not only soothes your nervous system—it also strengthens your alignment with your values and makes accountability feel natural, not forced.

Why do small moments unleash outsized reactions? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Iezzi explains reenactments—those unconscious loops that pull us back into old stories. We unpack how everyday interactions can echo deeper themes like shame, abandonment, betrayal, or not being heard, and the 5-step approach to notice, regulate, name the theme, plan, and act differently. Straight talk, practical examples, and a clear path to break the cycle and respond with choice, not conditioning. About the guest   Dr. Tony Iezzi is a clinical psychologist with 35+ years on the front lines of trauma recovery and co-author of Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life. His work helps people identify the core themes driving their reactions and replace automatic loops with intentional responses. Key takeaways (bullet points)   Reenactments = patterned loops where body–mind–brain replay past responses in present situations; it's not only “big T” trauma—everyday moments can trigger old themes. Themes drive reactions (loss, abandonment, betrayal, humiliation, feeling unseen, feeling trapped, rescuer/underdog roles). Treat the theme, not just the obvious trigger. Normal reaction vs reenactment: normal passes quickly; reenactment lingers (hours/days) and feels disproportionate or hard to trace. Lingering is a red flag. Awareness is step one. Use daily journaling or meditation to capture incidents, feelings, and the underlying theme (e.g., “I felt shamed in that meeting”). Five-step method: 1) Awareness something happened; 2) Regulate (walk, journal, quiet time) to think clearly; 3) Name the theme; 4) Plan a different response; 5) Execute (e.g., a direct, calm conversation next day). Motives matter: act from self-respect and needs, not people-pleasing; otherwise you recreate the loop. Expect recurrence. Triggers will happen; the goal isn't zero triggers—it's choosing differently when they appear. Face it, don't avoid it. Avoidance keeps you stuck; approach the scary moment with a prepared plan to reclaim your voice and align with who you want to be.

He is a best-selling author, a keynote thought leader, a noted rare coin researcher, a TEDx speaker and speaking coach, a humanitarian philanthropist, and an influencer devoted to transforming the world by inspiring personal and social change. For the last three decades he has traveled the world listening to people and what they most want and need. He's come to realize that people want to matter. They want to feel that they are valued and significant contributors to a meaningful idea or vision. They want to be engaged and to feel inspired. If you can capture that in them, it is like high octane fuel for teamwork. When Greg traces back his own focus journey, he realizes that one moment, seeing a juggling ball flying aloft at twelve years old, changed everything for him. In the moment, he decided that he wanted to learn to juggle, but while learning to juggle changed his life, it wasn't until much later that he realized that it wasn't the juggling ball that was meaningful nearly as much as it was the FOCUS on the juggling ball that was meaningful. That differentiation transformed his life.

““Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle Terrified you'll make the wrong move and “blow up” your life—even though you didn't cause the betrayal? In this episode, Lora Cheadle breaks down why smart, high-achieving women get stuck in analysis paralysis after infidelity and how to shift from panic to self-trust. Learn to spot fight/flight/freeze/fawn (fix), regulate your nervous system in minutes, and make clear decisions you won't regret. You'll also get a powerful responsibility reframe (final decision ≠ cause) plus Lora's unforgettable “dog-poop on the carpet” analogy to help you choose the right next step—therapy, coaching, or pause—without fear of “messing it up.” Perfect for women ready to reclaim their voice, their worth, and their future. Top 3 Takeaways Regulate before you decide: Identify fight/flight/freeze/fawn and use quick somatic resets to bring your thinking brain back online. Final decision ≠ cause: Choosing divorce—or staying—doesn't mean you “blew it up.” Accountability stays with the betrayer.

Use them now to choose wisely.   “You were not cheated on because you're worthless. You were cheated on because you're powerful.” – Lora Cheadle

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik dives straight into the difference between a motivating “why” and an enduring purpose with guest Meghan Walsh—holistic coach and author of Rare Birds: Break Free from the Flock, Find Your Purpose. We unpack practical intuition (heart-centered check-ins), dealing with self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and how to turn so-called “weaknesses” into leadership strengths. Clear, applicable steps for anyone feeling successful on paper but unfulfilled in life and work.   About the guest : Meghan Walsh spent 18 years in corporate leadership before choosing a values-aligned path as a holistic coach, speaker, and author. Through positive psychology and energy work, she helps high achievers reconnect to intuition, release self-doubt, and live their unique purpose. Her book, Rare Birds, releases Tuesday, September 23.   Key takeaways: “Why” fuels action; “purpose” is the GPS. Your why can change with life seasons, while purpose provides longer-term direction. Intuition is quieter than the thinking mind. A quick heart-connection practice (breathe, place two fingers on the heart, ask, wait) helps you hear it. Self-doubt often masks self-worth issues. Notice procrastination and triggers; ask, “What's coming up for me right now?” to surface the story underneath. Rewrite old scripts through action. Small next steps compound, build evidence, and replace limiting agreements with empowering ones. Emotions are data, not defects. Meghan's “silver lining model” (Acknowledge–Connect–Empower) reframes perceived weaknesses into leadership strengths. Success “on paper” without fulfillment is a signal, not a sentence. There is always another path if you're willing to take the first step. Start today: do the 2-minute heart check-in, name one limiting belief, choose one simple action that aligns with your purpose. Book note: Rare Birds offers tools to identify your purpose, recalibrate self-talk, and set aligned boundaries. .

Episode Summary: When we think of Christmas, we picture the manger scene, shepherds in the fields, angels singing, and a star guiding the way. But what if we’ve been missing one of the most important parts of the story all along? In her new book, The Spirit of Christmas, award-winning author Cynthia Ruchti invites us to rediscover the Holy Spirit’s presence woven throughout the Christmas narrative—from Genesis in the Garden of Eden to the cry of a baby in Bethlehem. This conversation will open your eyes to the power, presence, and promise of the Spirit of God in ways that may forever change how you experience Christmas. Quotables from the episode: Christmas often stirs our hearts with nostalgia—decorations, carols, and retelling the story of Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus. Yet, as beautiful as those traditions are, there’s more to the Christmas story than we typically notice. Before the babe was conceived, the Holy Spirit was already at work, setting the stage and preparing the hearts of the biblical characters we know and love. This season, let Him set the stage and prepare your heart too. In her book, The Spirit of Christmas, Cynthia Ruchti helps us uncover the often-overlooked role of the Holy Spirit in God’s plan of redemption, reminding us that the Spirit has been present from the beginning—guiding, comforting, and empowering. If you’ve ever longed to experience Christmas with fresh wonder and deeper meaning, this conversation will encourage you to see the season through new eyes. I have found it fascinating that over the course of my life and maybe others have been in the same boat, we might grow up understanding Jesus quite well, or, and we hear Jesus loves me from when we're newborns and aren't even aware, perhaps, of that. And then I personally had gone through some seasons of my life where I thought, "I think I understand Jesus pretty well. I'm getting a good handle on who is this Jesus. I'm not sure I'm as familiar with God the Father as I need to be." So, I had a season of my life that was in my early 20s where I dove in and thought, "I need to know you better, God, my Father," and took an approach as I looked at the Word and noticed that throughout the Old Testament, God described himself as a God of love, which I thought was a New Testament idea. I understood who he was as the majestic Creator, and I think probably it kept him a little distant from me because I saw just that. Then a relative of mine had a heart transplant and I took a fresh Bible, and I circled everywhere in the Bible where the word love or heart appeared because I wanted this person who wasn't close to the Lord at the time to know and understand that God has been talking about the subject of love for a very long time. He's all over the Bible, so page after page was filled with the circled or the little heart drawn around the word love or the word heart. Then there came a season in my life where I thought, "I think I better understand now. We will never fully understand, but I think I better understand. God the Father, God the Son. Do I really understand the Holy Spirit? I know he is. I believe what the Bible tells me about the Holy Spirit, but do I really understand his role or how the different roles of the Trinity make a complete God for us? So, I investigated that, and I watched for his presence, but not as deeply as I did after I was challenged to look for the Holy Spirit's presence in the Christmas story. There was an editor who challenged me with that at a writer's conference. I found it fascinating. I thought that would be a very interesting study. We assume, I think, in the back of our minds that maybe the Holy Spirit is that presence that comes upon Mary in that moment when she conceives Jesus, the baby Jesus, as an infant just minutes old. And then we're not sure where else he might actually show up in the Christmas story. So that was a challenge to me, and I thought it sounded fascinating, but I didn't take the invitation from that editor seriously until a couple of weeks later, when she wrote to me and said, "I want you to write that book." So, then I got very serious and started the deep dive research of where is he? And in some ways, it was kind of a where's Waldo of the Holy Spirit in the Christmas story. That's what began this adventure. And for me, it really did alter my view of how I approach Christmas now for many reasons. And that was one of the reasons that I wanted us to have this conversation because I don't think we're alone in that tendency to not really acknowledge the Holy Spirit as much as we acknowledge Jesus or God the Father. I grew up in a denomination that the only time the Holy Spirit got mentioned was when it was God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, period. So, I like that You took that editor up on the challenge to look for the Holy Spirit throughout the Christmas story. I wondered how far back I would have to trace to find the first evidence of the Holy Spirit and Christmas being linked together. And I realized it was in verse one. It was when the Spirit was hovering over the waters of a world that had yet to be created that was going to need a Redeemer. As we know, God has no beginning and no end, eternity past, eternity present farther than man can imagine. I realized that this in the formation with at creation, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, at creation forming a world that they knew was going to need a Redeemer and that that Redeemer was going to be thousands of years away from that moment. I saw the person of the Holy Spirit caring about what was going to happen all those centuries later, even in the creation process. How does that first crime connect to Christmas? There would have been no reason for Jesus to come as a human being if there were any way that we as humans could have behaved ourselves without him. And it wasn't very long into that early beginning creation story before that was so evident that without Christ present, without the Holy spirit present within us. We were never going to be able to satisfy what needed to be satisfied and keep us in a place where we could walk daily, in essence, walking by the Spirit like it talks about in the New Testament. When I began to put the pieces together of this incredible depth of story, this depth of even the communion of the Father and the Son and the Spirit, we saw the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament present in brief moments leading up to when Jesus would be born and then later on as we take that story even farther to his death and his resurrection and his intentional promise, “Hang in there people it's not only okay that I go back to heaven it's better for you that I do because then the Holy Spirit can come, reside inside you, and help you operate out of a place of knowing exactly my heart, knowing what God my Father,” Jesus said, “wants of you, and what will help you to live a life that will allow you to pillow your head every night in peace, no matter what's going on in the rest of your life.” The other thing that I really appreciate about Jesus knowing our every need is when he reminds us that he's got to send the Holy Spirit to remind us of all truth. As a neuropsychologist, that's one of the areas that I love to focus on the most because I have a short memory, and I need those reminders. I love how the spirit of Christmas is our reminder of the gift of the spirit. I didn't grow up in a denomination that had an actual practice of Advent, of intentional preparation for Christmas season. I knew the word, Advent. I knew it was a good word. I knew it was a healthy word and lovely, but we just didn't have that particular practice. We oftentimes, even with Lent, that was another, it seemed like it was for a denomination that was more liturgical, let's say, in thought. But I think more and more these days, we're realizing that every heart needs to be prepared. Every heart needs to “prepare him room” as the one Christmas carol says. It’s actually for any day, but when we think about Christmas in particular, it is so easy to get caught up in all the to -dos and all the menus and all the party planning and all the some-things we're very happy to participate in, some things that just seem like one more chore. And it's kind of this wild cacophony of noise and tension, and there may be relationships that are especially challenged at Christmastime, there may be work -related things that are especially difficult at Christmastime. That is not at all what this is supposed to be about. But we early church members apparently understood that we need time to get our hearts ready for this such, such a holy, holy season. And the Holy Spirit is part of that. As we take a look at what was the Holy Spirit's role in the original story that began way back at creation, but was threaded throughout Scripture as He was present in speaking to Isaiah about a virgin shall conceive way back then. And it didn't say shall conceive in the next day or two. Again, thousands of years from that prophecy, but the Holy Spirit was inspiring that prophet Isaiah to speak of that. And as we look at it in the time period in which those words were spoken, there was chaos. There was political chaos. There was trouble on every hand. There was the son of a king who was now the king, and he was being a lousy king. And this interesting thing: I think he wanted to do the right thing. King Ahaz, I think, wanted to do the right thing. He heard from God, but he didn't trust that what he heard from God was enough. He needed to find other voices that he would listen to. He was getting influenced by all kinds of other people. And Isaiah was trying to bring him back to, "No, there is one God, and you can trust him." And as the Spirit was inspiring Isaiah to speak the words, he was saying to King Ahaz, "Ask God, ask him for a sign, and he'll tell you.” Ahaz didn't have that kind of relationship with God. So, he said, "Oh, I don't want to test God in any way." And through the Holy Spirit's words, through Isaiah, we hear, and if we set it in modern language, we might say, "I'll give you a sign. A virgin is going to conceive and bear a son." And then, and we know some of the rest of that wording. How interesting that in a chaotic world, with a king who wasn't paying attention to the right voices, not unlike the worlds we might be operating in: maybe our boss isn't listening to the right voice, but we have to respond to the boss. Maybe our family members are all chaotic and confused and worrying about where are we going to set Uncle Ralph this Christmas, because he's going to torture these family members even with just teasing. That's the very world that a savior was promised to that world, promised by the Holy Spirit. And it's the same with us now. When I started to study, what was the Holy Spirit's role? He often came to those in the biblical story, some of it in the New Testament now, he came to those who were fearful. They were in danger for their lives. And the Holy Spirit would come on the scene and bring peace or hope or comfort. He would bring guidance where there wasn't any guidance. He accompanied Mary on her journey to visit Elizabeth. Nobody else did. We're not told anybody else was there on that journey, which was a long journey for Mary, except the Holy Spirit, who had to have been whispering comfort and strength, and “you will get through this. I'm here for you. I am with you. I am always with you.” And then Mary and Elizabeth met one another and the baby in Elizabeth's womb knew the Savior was being carried by this woman who couldn't even feel kicks in her own body yet. It was too new, too soon. So, as I look at whether it's darkness or depression or anxiety or legitimate fear or relationship troubles, those scenes were the scenes where the Holy Spirit showed up in the Bible. Those are the scenes I need him to show up in my Christmas. He is there. I just may not have observed that he was there, is there, and was there in the original Christmas story too. The Spirit of Christmas reminds us and brings us back to that recognition that he always was there, and he is there today. To us, waiting often seems purposeless and painful, yet the cry of “how long?” appears throughout scripture. I think one of the things that is toughest about any waiting time is believing you are alone in the waiting. I think honestly, whether it's waiting for a diagnosis or it's waiting for the medicine to kick in, or it's waiting for family members to reconcile, or it's waiting for the job that we believe is out there somewhere that we haven't found yet, whatever the situation is, I believe that what intensifies that waiting experience and makes it full of tension in the natural is the belief that we're alone. Even if we have a loving spouse to share with or we have other family members or a good friend we can converse with, deep down in our soul, it's that misunderstanding that makes us believe that we are alone. And the Holy Spirit is saying, "Untrue. This is untrue. I am here in the waiting, and that's what will make everything change." Mary had a long wait after that moment when the angel said, "You will bear a Savior." She had waiting even from those early days of raising this little baby. Before Jesus' ultimate ministry began, there was another waiting time where she was by his side before the ultimate reason he came to earth was fulfilled. Mary got to witness much of that, even being at the foot of the cross as she watched that ultimate moment then that we relate to Easter but it's so much part of the Christmas story too. As we discover where the Holy Spirit is present, we mimic what he did or what he said. If we see him as comforter, who can we be a comforter for? If we see him as a provider, who can we be a provider for? One of the tips that was given in the book as an idea was, do you really need your Christmas meal more than you need to give your Christmas meal to a family that has none? Can I have turkey any time of the year? Absolutely I can. Would it be a better move for our family to take our meal and give it to someone who has none? I would be acting like the Holy Spirit did and like the heart of Jesus is to forego a need that I think is a need of my own to meet somebody else's need. I make a parallel of the idea of if I'm looking for the Holy Spirit, what I'm looking for is the kind of fruit that he provides: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self -control. So, if I'm going to give good gifts like the Holy Spirit gives, how can I be peace for someone who needs it? How can I be a presence? How can I be evidence of faithfulness? That might be in a visit to someone who is ignored or overlooked during the holiday. We think of those things as philanthropic sometimes or we think of them as just plain old kindness but on the other hand if we see it as the kind of thing the Holy Spirit does, then we realize this is far holier of an act than just a kind deed. When we look at it from that approach and we take that approach we're fueled to be able to and do it more and more and enjoy the process and not see it as an obligation. It has always bothered me the idea of anyone spending Christmas alone. When we discuss the idea of the Holy Spirit is always present, what a better way to show that presence and that love that Jesus came to offer us by reaching out to those who might be alone, who are wondering “where is God today? Does he even see me?” Those are the people who are the most grateful for the smallest of acts because they feel seen. And isn't that what we all want? It's such a gift to know that we are seen by the Holy Spirit. The day after Christmas we're often sitting in a pile of opened packages and empty boxes and toys that the batteries have run out already, and maybe disappointments for how we hoped it would go that it didn't. There are people who are taking ornaments out of the box and it might be baby's first Christmas. We may remember that special day and the ornament brings us pain because hanging it on the tree may be a reminder that that child is no longer here or is estranged from us. Someone will have a Christmas like that. We intentionally set up the devotional to be a short read, one a day, so that for day after day after day of December, including the day after Christmas, there's a reminder of places you might not have thought to look, until I wrote the book. And then we also include a list of helpful hints. We include a downloadable that has to do with how many of these different roles did the Holy Spirit play in this actual event? Part of the advice and the very practical advice is maybe do what I did and make it an actual adventure. Take time to intentionally watch for his presence or be his presence. Let his presence in you shine somehow throughout the holiday season. It can't help but change what your Christmas looks like. One of the outcomes of my own journey to take a better, stronger look at what is this all about is that it really helps us to understand where the meaning of Christmas is and where the meaning isn't. The meaning of Christmas isn't how many parties can I get on my calendar. The meaning is likely more in what can I remove and not lose anything but instead gain. I might gain time that I needed. I might gain a more peaceful attitude toward this season. I might see that some of the things I have worked so hard to do or thought they were so important to make Christmas perfect, aren’t that important. How can we make Christmas any more perfect? Something that God did, that God was all over and did. What we often call essential to Christmas, whether it's that meal or the certain decorations or the tradition that we had of cutting down our own tree or the special hot cocoa that grandma makes; If any of those things are removed from our traditions, is Christmas still going to happen? Absolutely. What's our heart going to be like if we miss the cocoa? Not much difference. What if we miss the Holy Spirit in Christmas? That will make a huge difference - For sure. The idea that the Trinity loved what they created together despite humanity's fall is so powerful. We are the ones He came to save. The Bible would call us Gentiles; we were not born into the original children of Israel. We all can trace our lineage way back to the beginning, but we weren't considered the original children of Israel to which much of the Bible was written. But we are the ones he came to save. There's a verse in Galatians that I don't have memorized yet, but I want to, where it talks about God sent the Son so that we could have the Holy Spirit. When I stumbled on that verse, I thought, He sent Jesus to save us, yes. Jesus had to come as a human, had to leave everything he knew that was so perfect and come into this imperfect world and tolerate us. So, I'm now just fascinated by that idea that God the Father sent the Son to save the world so that we could have the Holy Spirit. That makes the complete picture. And that makes the waiting easier. It makes the feelings of defeat easier. And it makes those times of joy richer. The Holy Spirit, like God the Father and Jesus the Son, is always true to Himself. But that truth shows up in his behavior, we might say, throughout the Christmas story. And it will always be related to something that is so completely positive, but also so completely meeting the needs of the human heart, which is the need for his presence, the need for his comfort, the need for his peace.

Here's the reality—most people over 60 are walking around in shoes that are slowly destroying their feet, and they don't even know it. Mark Sisson joins me to explain how thick, cushioned, elevated shoes cut off the critical feedback loop between your feet and your brain, leading to weakened arches, lost balance, and eventually those devastating falls that change everything. We dive deep into why foot health is the lowest hanging fruit in longevity right now, how your big toe literally connects to your glute activation, and why the walking you do after surgery (or any day) matters more than you think. Mark shares insights from taking 35 first-time PELUVA wearers on a five-mile hike—nobody got blisters, and everyone felt the difference. If you're serious about staying strong, mobile, and independent as you age, this conversation will change how you think about every step you take. IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: * Discover why conventional cushioned shoes are weakening your feet and compromising your entire kinetic chain—from your arches to your hips to your lower back * Break through the myth that more cushioning equals more comfort, and learn how ground feel and toe splay are actually the keys to pain-free movement and injury prevention * Transform your understanding of the big toe as the anchor of your entire lower body, directly wired to your glutes and essential for strength, balance, and preventing falls * Explore why walking in community isn't just nice to have—it's a longevity strategy that combines movement, mental health, and meaningful connection in one simple practice * Reclaim foot strength and resilience through barefoot training and minimalist footwear, protecting yourself from the frailty, osteoporosis, and devastating falls that derail so many people as they age Let's Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?t=8oQyjO25X5i&r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

Are you running on empty? Do you feel the weight of busyness, anxiety, and exhaustion pressing on your soul? In this powerful message, Rhythms of Rest, Dr. Monique Flemings brings a timely word in Part 4 of our series Inside Out: Becoming Emotionally and Spiritually Healthy in Christ.Dr. Monique reminds us that true spiritual maturity isn't found in striving, but in surrender. Through Scripture and Spirit-filled wisdom, she unpacks what it means to rest as an act of trust—living like God is truly in control. From the Old Testament command to keep the Sabbath, to Jesus' invitation to find rest for our weary souls, you'll discover that rest is not laziness or weakness. Rest is worship. Rest is maturity. Rest is warfare against burnout and fear.If you've been wrestling with storms, stress, or the pressure to hold everything together, this message will speak directly to you. You'll learn how to:Embrace the sacred pauses God designed for your life.Trust Him with your provision, protection, and future.Exchange anxiety for peace and panic for presence.Reclaim your rhythms so that your life flows in harmony with His will.Listen in and be reminded: the boat may be rocking, but if Jesus is in it, you will not sink.

Madhavan "Maddy" Malonan has always been in - and around - technology, and fell in love with building things early on. He got a video game console early on, and found it a little boring. BUT, when his Dad got a computer and he played Age of Empires, he got excited about all the possibilities, trying to tinker with building things that mimicked these computer games. Even these days, he writes a lot of code, building side projects with Claude Code. When he's not coding, he's playing sports, primarily tennis.Maddy and his team identified that verification of age, credentials, employment history, etc. was a big, big problem. So much so, that it was difficult to do so in a tamper proof, zero knowledge proof manner. They set out to create a solution - and protocol - to solve this problem.This is the creation story of Reclaim Protocol.SponsorsFull ScalePaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchLinkshttps://reclaimprotocol.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhavanmalolan/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Episode 3137: Tyler Tervooren explores how applying the concept of a "sample rate" to your decisions can dramatically improve your outcomes. By testing more ideas quickly and discarding what doesn't work, you create more opportunities for success while reducing the risk of wasting time on dead ends. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.riskology.co/sample-rate/ Quotes to ponder: "The sample rate is simply how many times you try something in a given period of time." "The more you try, the better your chances of success - assuming you learn from each attempt." "Small experiments allow you to figure out what works without risking everything on one big bet."

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for an incredible joint episode: MK ULTRA, ritual abuse and organized abuse survivors, overcomers, thrivers, and badasses, survivor and anti-child trafficking advocates, public whistleblowers, podcasters, and two of my favorite humans in the entire world: Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott HaggermanJuliette, born in 1955 to CIA- and NSA-connected parents, endured electroshock, LSD, and "Sex Magick" rituals in facilities tied to Disney and Stanford. Escaping at sixteen, she became a radiologist, founded the MiraMed Institute, and launched the Angel Coalition, rescuing thousands from trafficking while exposing elite cover-ups in her memoir, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick. Lynne, trafficked from birth to age five, survived medical torture, satanic rituals in university tunnels, trafficking by her own family to neighborhood perpetrators, and horrific child auctions. Guided by faith, she built a career as an HR consultant and marathoner, founding QGRIT to heal survivors through her podcast and wellness advocacy, amplifying truths about organized child abuse and elite networks.Juliette and Lynne's testimonies converge like rivers into a storm-swept sea: both women, as infants thrust into CIA-sponsored child slavery, navigated underground facilities rife with ritual abuse and mind control. Universities - which should serve as safe spaces for all - served as above-ground facades for below-ground atrocities, from electroshock and drug-induced fragmentation to exploitation by pedophilic infiltrators in government and entertainment. Juliette's "Sex Magick" programming parallels Lynne's adrenochrome rituals, both rooted in MK ULTRA's goal of creating programmable mind-controlled slaves through trauma. And in their escapes - Juliette's bold teenage rebellion, Lynne's faith-fueled breakthrough - they reclaimed narratives long scripted by shadowy handlers, turning suppressed screams into public indictments that challenge the 1975 Church Committee revelations and demand deeper accountability.On today's episode, they are going to be discussing a few very important topics that truly need greater societal understanding and a call to action including a discussion around Manchurian Candidates, how these MK ULTRA mind control slaves can be programmed to carry out heinous crimes on the government's behalf including things like political and mass shootings, the trans agenda and it's relationship to MK ULTRA and the horrific news headlines that bombard us daily, and so much more. In a world still grappling with hidden predators, their work whispers a universal rallying cry: Rise. Reclaim. Radiate. For in their unbreakable spirits, we see the dawn of justice - not as distant hope, but as the spark within us all, ready to burn away the dark.RECOMMENDED READING - MK ULTRA DOCS: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarlyCONNECT TO LYNNE: Website: https://qgrit.org/YouTube: @LynneScottHaggerman  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheLynneScottHaggermanShow?e9s=src_v1_saX: https://x.com/haggerman91741CONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: httSupport the show

Every day that you don't move towards your goal of a healthier relationship with food, you are wasting time, energy and your peace of mind. This week, I was reminded about HOW much is on the line when you don't take your own healing seriously.This past week, I made some mistakes (yep, even coaches do) that left me in a LOT of pain today. But instead of just beating myself up, I pulled the lessons from it, because pain is only wasted if we don't use it to grow.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The bad decisions I made and how they spiraled into unnecessary painThe key lessons I wish I'd applied sooner (so you don't repeat my mistakes)How to protect your money, time, energy, and peace of mindPractical shifts you can start using today to get unstuck and finally move in the right directionIf you've been feeling stuck, repeating old patterns, or wondering why change feels so hard - this episode will show you the fastest way to redirect your energy toward real peace and freedom.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with psychotherapist and reclamation coach Joshua Dvorkin about rebuilding identity after seismic change—chronic illness, disability, injury, or any life detour. Joshua shares a practical, trauma-informed path he calls “resilience without romanticism”: acknowledge reality, stabilize body and mind, rewrite your narrative with compassion and truth, live by your values, and grow forward. We get into belief frameworks, a seven-column thought record for reframing negative thinking, and how high-achievers can accept support without losing self-respect. If you or your team are navigating tough transitions, this conversation offers clear tools, not clichés—so you can reclaim authorship without abandoning your authentic self.   About the guest:   Joshua Dvorkin is a psychotherapist, reclamation coach, and founder of Headway Mental Health. After a spinal cord injury at 29, he rebuilt his life and now helps professionals and leaders reclaim identity with grounded, trauma-informed practices—no toxic positivity, no fluff.   Key takeaways: Reclamation starts with reality acceptance: name the loss without minimizing it, then decide what you will do next. Use a values inventory to reconnect with identity: what you stood for before likely still matters now. Try a seven-column thought record (CBT): capture situation, automatic thought, emotions, evidence for/against, balanced thought, and re-rate feelings. Replace “bounce back fast” with resilience without romanticism: healing has no fixed timeline. Language shapes outcomes: beliefs about worthiness influence choices, relationships, and perceived possibilities. For high-achievers, receiving help is a skill: letting others show up for you can expand impact, not reduce autonomy. Micro-practice: each morning, name one feeling, one non-negotiable value, and one aligned micro-action. Repeat for 7 days. Model inclusion for kids and teams: visible adaptations can teach empathy, capability, and respect. Boundary-led living: decisions aligned with values reduce anxiety and clarify the next right step. Leaders: stabilize body, mind, and emotions first; strategy is stronger on solid ground.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/headway.mental.health/ Email: joshua@headwaymentalhealth.com DM keyword: 7-DAY (all caps) on Instagram to receive Joshua's 7-day negative-thinking tool.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this soulful solo episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we explore the emotional and spiritual stakes of placing others on high pedestals. From ancient wisdom to relatable life stories, we dive deep into what happens when we idolise others and shrink ourselves in the process. Learn how to gently step out of the shadows, reclaim your voice, and return to a balanced, empowered sense of self.CONFESSIONS is now available: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/confessions-book/ Thank you for joining me on this MIRROR TALK podcast journey.

False flags, fear driven messaging, the fabrication of perpetual enemies, the illusions created by Ai. Our world is a puppet show put on by the elites to convince the peasants to obey. You can either let it consume you, or you can find the humor in their ways. God is Joy. Ask God to remove the burdens. Embrace the moment, ignore the circus. Freedom comes through the relationship that Jesus offers us. Have a good laugh with Jesus. Don't take yourself too seriously. We are all in this together.  #BardsFM_Morning #TheStageOfIllusions  #TheHeartOfAChild  Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...
