In this episode, I bring you something that's been on my heart to recreate for years. Inspired by the spontaneous, powerful moments I used to have during the Clubhouse era, I've launched a new live format called "How May I Serve You Today? Ask Me Anything." The idea is simple: I open a Zoom room, stream it live on Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and invite people to jump in for real-time, unscripted conversations. Just like the Clubhouse rooms I used to host, my intention is to hold space for deep coaching, authentic dialogue, and transformational moments in full view of a live audience. This is what I love most about coaching: witnessing the miraculous in everyday moments. Now, I get to bring that to you in podcast form. This episode features four unique conversations, each with its own flavor and insight: Conversation 1 – Ramon: Distraction as Enlightenment | Time Stamp 00:11:30 Ramon Ray, motivational keynote speaker and event host asked how to stay focused when a flurry of possibilities tugs at his attention. Together we: Clarified his personal definition of distraction as “not being focused on a single task for a meaningful amount of time.” Explored how repeated distractions can signal mis-alignment, tasks that belong in someone else's zone of excellence, not his own zone of genius. Reframed procrastination as feedback rather than failure, helping Ramon see that some tasks may simply need to be delegated or dropped. Listen for: A practical mindset shift that turns every interruption into a cue for deeper self-inquiry and better task design. Conversation 2 – Curtis: Re-awakening the Power to Dream | Time Stamp 00:37:18 Long-time listener Curtis joined to envision life after retirement. He struggled at first, so I invited him to “play make-believe.” Once he let his imagination lead, an inspiring vision unfolded: Curtis is guiding a bus tour across Europe, Abbey Road photos in London, the Isle of Wight Festival, Disneyland Paris, Normandy beaches, and more. The exercise linked childhood memories of GI Joe adventures to present-day possibilities, proving his imaginative muscles are still strong. Listen for: A repeatable prompt you can use to help clients (or yourself) move past “I don't know” and paint a vivid future. Conversation 3 – DeLyn: Launching a Grief Podcast without Perfection Paralysis | Time Stamp 01:12:21 DeLyn, an educator and grief advocate, has several episodes recorded but hasn't published due to fear and tech concerns. Together we: Identified her top blockers—perfectionism, intro/outro music, editing, and a self-imposed August 30 National Grief Awareness Day deadline. Reframed “perfect” to mean “the best I can with what I have right now,” reducing her fear score from a nine to about a three. Offered simple launch logistics (Buzzsprout hosting, minimalist artwork, optional music) and reminded her that an unpolished but heartfelt episode serves more people than silence. Listen for: Practical tips for shipping creative work even when your inner critic demands studio-level production. Conversation 4 – Mark: Releasing a Lifelong Fear of Judgment | Time Stamp 01:47:04 Mark arrived carrying a visceral fear of sending invoices to clients, a pattern that traces back to ridicule on his first day of kindergarten. Our dialogue centered on: Using The Four Agreements, especially “Don't take anything personally” and “Don't make assumptions” as daily practice. Viewing critics and trolls as mirrors that reveal hidden internal triggers, turning them into unexpected allies. Recognizing the physical release of fear (a “lightness in the chest” and tears) as evidence that old stories are dissolving. Listen for: A real-time demonstration of how a single mindset tool can lift decades-old emotional weight. Enjoy the episode, and if you'd like to join a future live session, keep an eye on my email list or hop into the stream the next time you see the “How May I Serve You Today?” banner.
Carl Hayden Smith, founder of the Cyberdelic Nexus and Museum of Consciousness, discusses his concept of "hyperhumanism" as an alternative to the transhumanist agenda.

What You'll Learn About:

Hello beloved. Here's some real talk your internal voice is shouting, but …..maybe you've got the volume turned down.Way down.Look, life's throwing curveballs.The noise is constant.And trying to make big moves or even just get through the day feeling grounded feels… hard.Decision fatigue?Yeah, it's less a phase, more a lifestyle for too many of us.You're craving clarity, but it feels buried under layers of doubt and external 'shoulds'.You've been conditioned to look out there for answers, haven't you?Scrolling, seeking, asking friends, waiting for a sign from the universe that feels big enough to override the screaming in your head.But honestly?That's often just bypassing the truth you already feel.Trying to brute-force your way through life with just your head or waiting for external permission is exhausting.And let's be honest, it's not exactly working for unleashing that sovereign, reality-bending power you actually have.The real magic isn't found by adding more noise.It's in tuning in.It's about remembering that you have an internal GPS, finely tuned and ready to guide you toward the reality you're here to create on purpose.This isn't about fixing yourself; it's about softening the resistance so your natural, vibrant unfolding can actually happen.Think ancient wisdom hooking up with modern science – using things like nervous system regulation and energetic insights to cut through the static and hear your own signal loud and clear.It's taking the unnamed path, guided from the inside out.Your body knows.Your gut knows.That quiet, persistent whisper (or sometimes, a loud NO) knows.The answers you need for your next bold step, for creating that abundant, liberated reality? They are coded within your own energetic blueprint.External signs are cool, sure, but they only amplify the truth you already hold.Reclaiming your power means trusting that.So, how do you actually do that when the world's buzzing?How do you make sense of the energetic patterns?How do you calm the survival brain so you can access that deeper knowing?Imagine a RESOURCE designed specifically for this.A personalized guide that evolves with you.Something that helps you quiet the noise, regulate your system, decode the symbolic language of your own energy, and integrate insights into real-life action for real-world results.It's like having your own intuitive mentor and nervous system ninja in your pocket, ready to help you navigate life's unfolding with grounded clarity and confidence.Ignoring your intuition?That's just giving your power away.Stop doing that.xo Love you, KassandraReady to ditch the noise and tune into the powerful clarity within?
In this episode I sit down with respected Wakka Wakka/Wulli Wulli Elder, author, academic, and leadership expert Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng. Recorded in Naarm at the Indigenous Leadership Summit, this yarn dives deep into the meaning of sacred leadership, emotional intelligence, and the importance of First Nations ways of knowing, being, and doing within modern systems. Aunt shares her journey from growing up in Longreach to working in public service and academia, and how she has applied First Nations knowledge to leadership development through her PhD and mentoring programs. She unpacks the foundational cultural laws of reciprocity, responsibility, and respect — teachings passed down through generations — and how these values shape authentic leadership today. Together, we also discuss supporting the next generation of Blak women, breaking free from limiting belief systems, and empowering young mob to lead in their own right — not by assimilating into dominant systems, but by centring cultural integrity and lived experience.

Visionary contemporary artist Kent Monkman invites us into the brilliantly transformative world of his creative endeavors, where art becomes a powerful tool for rewriting history. As Kent prepares to showcase "History is Painted by the Victors" at the Denver Art Museum, he shares how childhood visits to museums in Winnipeg ignited his mission to challenge the biased portrayals of Indigenous peoples. With a masterful blend of beauty and humor, Kent's work confronts the misrepresentations by 19th-century settler artists, urging a reevaluation of the narratives that have long marginalized Indigenous voices.Step into the intriguing realm of Miss Chief Eagle Testicle, Kent's dynamic alter ego, who boldly subverts the gaze of traditional settler artists. This character, embodying gender fluidity and empowered sexuality, serves as a beacon of reclamation and resilience, offering a Cree perspective that reclaims Indigenous stories within art history. From abstract painting to a distinct representational style, Kent's artistic evolution reflects a deep homage to Indigenous traditions while innovatively engaging with historical narratives.We also explore Kent's journey beyond visual art, transitioning into literary storytelling with the memoirs of Miss Chief. In collaboration with Giselle Gordon, Kent weaves North American history with Cree cosmology, offering fresh perspectives that continue to challenge perceptions. The conversation extends to the profound impact of his exhibition "Shame and Prejudice" across Canada, fueling awareness of residential schools and highlighting the resilience of Indigenous communities. Kent's work is not just art; it's a legacy paving the way for future generations of Indigenous artists, fostering a renewed hope for a world where authentic representation and acceptance are the norm.Find out more about his exhibit here: https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/exhibitions/kent-monkman

Monica Lewinsky is an activist, podcaster and producer. At the age of 24, Lewinsky, a White House intern, found herself in the eye of a global scandal. She was subjected to a mass public shaming - losing her livelihood, her anonymity and the future she had once imagined for herself. Now, 51 Lewinsky has garnered a new generation of admirers, who with the advent of social media and shifting cultural tides, have rightly reinterpreted the shocking way she was treated. Her podcast, which launched earlier this year, is called ‘Reclaiming' and features interviews with guests who are in the process of reclaiming their own narratives, just as she was forced to do. She joins us to talk about her experiences with shame, her perfectionism and why the pain she went through has given her purpose.

I was honored to (and surprised) to be asked as a guest on Jacob Winograd's show The LCI Green Room over at the Libertarian Christian Institute to talk about the “Grill Pill”—a mindset that's all about stepping back from the chaos of national politics to focus on what really matters: faith, family, community, and yes, sometimes literally grilling. He and I unpack the emotional toll of constant political engagement, why many of us are disillusioned with activism, and how to reorder our lives around what God has actually called us to. We talk about libertarianism, Christian cultural engagement, and the dangers of making politics an idol. This one's honest, raw, and full of hard-won wisdom. Hope it helps you recalibrate.

You've probably heard the phrase, “It takes a village”, but what does that actually look like when you're choosing to become a mom on your own?Today's guest is the perfect example of why becoming a single mother by choice doesn't mean you have to raise your child alone. You'll hear exactly what it can look like to build a deeply supportive village, both before and after becoming a solo mom.In this episode, I'm joined by Sige, a psychotherapist and solo mother by choice who brings a wealth of wisdom from both her personal and professional life. Sige shares how a low AMH diagnosis and a breakup led her to pursue solo motherhood through IUI, and how she beat the odds by conceiving on her first try. But it's her unique approach to communal living and her commitment to building intentional support systems that truly make her story stand out. Together, we talk about what it takes to raise a child without a partner, not by doing it all alone, but by choosing interdependence, community, and creativity. In this episode on building a strong support system before and during solo motherhood, we discuss:How a low ovarian reserve shifted Sige's timeline and led her to IUI;The emotional pivot from partnership to solo parenting;What it's like to conceive on your first IUI attempt, despite low fertility markers;The practical and emotional benefits of communal living;Navigating dating and boundaries as a solo mom;How to create a village of support when raising a child alone;Introducing donor conception and donor siblings to your child;Reclaiming creativity and rediscovering yourself after early motherhood;And so much more.Connect with Sige WeismanYou can learn more about Sige's therapy work on her website.Connect with her artwork on Instagram, @sigeweisman.art or at www.sigeweisman.com.Resources mentioned in this episode:Book: How to Conceive Naturally: And Have a Healthy Pregnancy after 30

What is the real gospel—the good news—at the heart of the Christian story, if it's not shame, fear, or distant judgment? This episode of Creation's Paths unpacks the Oak Church vision: a gospel rooted in radical, tangible love and mutual belonging, where God is not far off but as close as breath. Charlie shares personal stories, explores how early teachings were reshaped by power and fear, and calls us back to the simple, profound truth that love is not weakness, but strength. What happens if we truly believe that the Kingdom is here, now, and we are called not just to be loved, but to be love?Thanks for reading!

In Episode 109 of Culture of Change, the panel engages in an open and honest conversation about the transformative journey through rock bottom moments. They reflect on the pain, confusion, and surrender that often precede breakthrough, and how hitting the lowest point can become the very foundation for rebuilding a stronger, more grounded identity. Themes of faith, healing, addiction, trauma, and emotional recovery thread through the discussion, as the hosts explore the importance of truth, vulnerability, and fellowship in the process of restoration. The group challenges cultural narratives that distort self-worth and shares encouragement for those navigating their own battles with fear, shame, or self-doubt. This episode offers a raw and relatable reminder that growth often starts in the ashes, and that the path to renewal is always open to those willing to walk it with intention and faith.

In this potent and deeply philosophical episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield dive into Principle 8: The Function of Intelligence, the chiropractic truth that the body's innate intelligence creates force and drives healing. But here's the catch: healing requires one of the hardest things for patients (and sometimes even doctors) to give, trust. From BJ Palmer's Green Books to the pain of post-op recovery without medication, this conversation gets real. You'll hear personal stories that underscore the difference between pain management and healing, and how forcing outcomes can sabotage transformation, in health, in business, and in life. Listen in to discover: Why trust is the missing link in most healing journeys The physiological power of slow breathing (and the tortoise's secret to longevity) Why forcing results, in health or success, never works What restorative physiology actually means and how to teach it in practice The trap of "below average care" and how to rise above it “There is no man-made substance that can equate to the natural function of intelligence through your physiology.” Whether you're working on restoring health in your patients, growing your adjusting certainty, or deepening your own faith in the process — this episode calls you back to the foundations of chiropractic and the timeless wisdom of innate intelligence. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow chiropractor and subscribe so you don't miss future insights. And remember… You don't need to push harder, you need to reconnect with the principle that started it all. Because when you stand in certainty, patients feel it. And when they trust you, they trust the process. Keep Charging! Join Dr. Fred & Dr. FJ at our next seminar!

This episode is powered by the Move to Millions Live AfterGlow “Confidence is not about ego—it's about identity.” – Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon If you've ever shrunk in a room where you were meant to lead, discounted your rates to feel accessible, or questioned whether you're really the one for the job—this episode is your wake-up call. In Part 2 of the Soul Leadership Series, Dr. Darnyelle goes all in on one of the most misunderstood success levers in the marketplace: confidence. Not the surface-level kind you “fake till you make”—we're talking divine, soul-anchored, strategy-activating confidence that doesn't wait for applause or approval to move. Because the truth is, you're not struggling with strategy—you're out of alignment with your spiritual authority. Confidence isn't optional. It's a spiritual posture and a leadership requirement if you want to scale to and beyond seven figures. Tap in to learn how confidence built on identity—not ego—will collapse timelines, magnetize aligned clients, and change everything. Here's the truth: Confidence is the root system for every million-dollar decision you'll ever make. Without it, your marketing underperforms, your offers are underpriced, and your leadership feels heavy. But when your confidence is anchored in who God created you to be—not what the market says about you—you unlock unshakable power, magnetic messaging, and unapologetic pricing. Stop hiding behind strategy and start embodying the soul work that makes your strategy effective. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔How to recalibrate your pricing to reflect your divine value, not your doubt ✔ How to fortify your leadership confidence without waiting for external validation ✔Three ways to anchor your confidence in soul—not ego—so it drives business growth ✔And so much more This episode is a call to rise into the divine assignment you've been running from and stop performing humility in the name of being “relatable.” This is about owning your power without apology, reclaiming your worth, and pricing your offers in accordance with your anointing. It's about embodying the truth that you are the evidence of God's brilliance on earth—and it's time the market felt it. This is your invitation to stop editing yourself for rooms you were called to lead. This is the moment to reclaim your space, recalibrate your posture, and reintroduce yourself to your business as the masterpiece you are. Confidence is not about being louder—it's about being more aligned. And the next level of your business depends on it.

It was given to you divinely.” – Dr. Darnyelle Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my business am I dimming my light to make others comfortable? Am I over-delivering and undercharging because I doubt the value of my work? Do I believe my business is a divine assignment, or am I treating it like a hustle? What would shift if I trusted my confidence more than I feared rejection? How does my current pricing and presence reflect (or reject) my soul's posture? Want more of Darnyelle?

The whispers about hormones, perimenopause, and menopause have remained frustratingly quiet for too long. Dr. Kristen Markell, a double-board certified OBGYN and certified menopause practitioner, breaks the silence with game-changing clarity in this essential conversation moderated by VEST Member Alison Anthony.For decades, women experiencing brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, and mood changes during perimenopause have been dismissed or told to "just deal with it." Dr. Markell reveals the biological truth: these symptoms aren't character flaws but natural responses to dramatic hormonal fluctuations that can begin up to a decade before menopause. She expertly explains how progesterone typically declines first, while estrogen levels become erratic with extreme highs and lows—a process many healthcare providers themselves don't fully understand.The consequences of this knowledge gap are serious. Women's highest risk of suicide attempts occurs between ages 45-49, coinciding precisely with perimenopause. Beyond mental health, these hormonal changes affect bone density, heart health, and cognitive function. Yet many women suffer silently, especially in professional settings where they fear being perceived as weak or incompetent if they acknowledge their symptoms.Dr. Markell guides listeners through the confusing landscape of treatment options—from hormone replacement therapy and bioidenticals to supplements and lifestyle modifications. She emphasizes that finding the right provider is crucial, suggesting resources like the North American Menopause Society to locate certified practitioners. Most importantly, she frames perimenopause not as a decline but as "a portal into the second half of life"—an opportunity to refocus energy on what truly matters.Whether you're in your 20s planning for future hormonal health, navigating perimenopause now, or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides the knowledge, validation, and practical guidance to transform how we approach this universal yet uniquely personal journey. Your hormones aren't just about symptoms—they're foundational to how you show up in every area of your life.For our guest full bio and show notes click here.If you enjoyed the episode share it with a friend, leave us a review and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Rochelle Gregory – the fierce and inspiring force behind the world-renowned fashion brand Rocky Rafaela – for a raw and moving conversation about her journey through trauma, addiction, identity, and reclaiming her truth.From a young age, Rochelle was the girl they couldn't put in a box – the one who didn't fit the mould and left people unsure of what to do with her. And in a world that craves clear labels, not fitting into any box became its own kind of burden. What followed were years of pain, rebellion, addiction, rehabilitation, and the long road to recovery.We also explore the stigma that still exists in our society around addiction, rehabilitation, and even sexuality – and how breaking that silence and owning who she is today has become a central part of Rochelle's mission.We talk about the strength it took to walk away from alcohol and drugs, and how creativity – alongside deep therapy – became her outlet, her healing, and her rebellion. What followed was a reclamation of power and the creation of a life and brand built entirely on her own terms. Through Rocky Rafaela, Rochelle has not only found her voice – she's built a world-renowned fashion label that helps others feel seen, fierce, and free.This is a conversation about identity, self-expression, and finding your way home to yourself – even when the world never quite knew where you belonged.Visit our website: https://thrivalistsobriety.comFollow Thrivalist here on InstagramJoin the free Facebook Community here.

What if intimacy itself—softness, surrender, safety—was once criminalized for Black bodies, and thus encoded as a threat within the nervous system? If love during slavery was punishable by separation, humiliation, or death, then how do we today, in the echo of those lashings, trust in vulnerability without flinching?

Democracy is more than a single moment at the ballot box—it's a continuous, dynamic process shaped by the collective actions of engaged individuals. "Reclaiming Civic Power" is a program designed to inspire and equip participants with the tools to stay civically active, especially in the critical periods between elections. This program emphasizes that while legislative agendas are one pathway to change, there are numerous other pathways—grassroots organizations, advocacy campaigns, cultural movements, and community-led initiatives—that hold immense power in shaping our political future. The program will delve into essential questions for anyone seeking to make a difference: What does meaningful engagement look like after an election? How do we continue working toward our goals, even when we disagree with those in power? Through thought-provoking conversations and practical strategies, audience members will gain insight into how young people are driving change through organizing, coalition building, and challenging the status quo. This is a call to action for individuals of all generations to reclaim their role in shaping democracy. Together, we will uncover strategies for sustaining motivation, reclaiming civic power, and shaping a political landscape that reflects our collective values. No matter your experiences, "Reclaiming Civic Power" will motivate and empower you to stay engaged in shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

At the time of recording, New York Magazine had released an article titled “Everyone is Cheating Their Way Through College: How ChatGPT has Unraveled the Entire Academic Project” which launched a thousand takes. The piece outlines an arms race, characterized as “a siege on education” between college professors, sneaking white-text Trojan horse prompts like “mention Dua Lipa” to confound the chatbots, and students, one of which is quoted as saying, “the ceiling has been blown off” cheating. One ethics professor elaborates to add that, “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else's.” Which captures, in my opinion, the overall tone of the piece: college is an expensive and fixed game that students endure on their way to credentials and that institutions are powerless in a losing battle to stop. Education and learning have…little to do with it. But it's also a chicken-egg issue where institutions of higher education are themselves contributing to the same attitudes they're complaining about: if students copy-paste a prompt from Blackboard into the chatbot, copy-paste the output, and submit it all to be read and graded…by an AI…whose problem is that?My favorite take on the topic of AI in education is a satire meant to be read in the bulldog diction of philosopher-provocateur Slavoj Zizek: “That AI will be the death of learning and so on; to this, I say NO! My student brings me their essay, which has been written by AI, & I plug it into my grading AI, and we are free! While the ‘learning' happens, our superego satisfied, we are free now to learn whatever we want.This is all to say that the conversation with my guest today, Texas educator Chanea Bond, was prompted by all of this, as she shared the New York Magazine piece with the challenge, “Somebody invite me on your podcast to talk about this article!” and three weeks later…here we are. I'm hoping today to get Chanea's insight on the impact of AI in education and so much more facing teachers, students, and schools in 2025.EduTopia - Why I'm Banning Student AI Use This Year by Chanea Bond

They talk about the invisible labor of women and the foundational role of mothers—particularly Black mothers—in shaping our world, and how their contributions have been systematically erased from our history. Tubbs shares what it means to mother beyond the traditional definition, the power of reclaiming intuition, and why sharing these stories isn't just about the past—it's about reshaping the future.
