The Will To Change: Uncovering True Stories of Diversity & Inclusion
In this episode of The Will to Change, Jennifer Brown sits down with author and thought leader Maggie Jackson to explore why uncertainty, so often seen as something to fear, might actually be our greatest asset. Together they unpack how leaning into the unknown can spark resilience, adaptability, and even joy, both in our personal lives and in the way we lead. From surfing literal waves to navigating the unpredictability of today's workplaces, Maggie reveals why wisdom in motion is essential for thriving amid rapid change. Tune in to discover how reframing uncertainty not as a threat but as a challenge and opportunity can transform how we work, connect, and grow.
In this vulnerable and enlightening Part 2 conversation with Britton and Carolee Beckham, we dive deep into what it means to truly rewrite the rules around love, sex, healing, and relationships. From the ashes of betrayal and religious conditioning, this powerful couple rebuilt their connection through ritual, shadow work, astrology, and sacred sexuality. Together, they now guide others through spiritual awakening and conscious intimacy. We explore how Carolee and Britton ritualized their healing using moon cycles, embraced the practice of sex magic to anchor in new beliefs, and redefined what relationship and sovereignty truly mean to them. This is an unfiltered look at what healing with your partner can look like—messy, magical, and radically free. What We Cover in This Episode: What shadow work really is and why it's key to healing emotional and generational wounds How ritual and astrology (especially moon phases) shape their spiritual practices Reclaiming sexuality after betrayal and trauma The power of sovereignty in relationships, especially for women How sex magic and sacred intimacy amplify spiritual healing Redefining monogamy, polyamory, and relationship labels Real talk on kink, play parties, boundaries, and radical honesty Finding personal truth through divine feminine embodiment Connect with Eve: Support the Podcast: Become a Patreon member for ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and early access Website: Please Me Online - Reach Eve and stay connected.

Beloved,I swear, every time I turn around I am channeling and discovering yet - another suppressed truth hidden from our inheritance. Today, it's not TABOO, its full of wonder and intimacy.Everyone says sexuality is about intimacy, pleasure, or reproduction.I believed that too—and for a long time, I felt separated from my deepest creative power.But something inside shifted after learning about the divine, the energy of creation and how we've got SEXUALITY ALL WRONG. I'm not talking strictly SEX.When I began studying the ancient science of the womb and DNA, I discovered our sacred energy is a portal—meant for unity, healing, and the activation of higher wisdom.Here's why reclaiming your sexual sovereignty may transform everything.Reclaiming your sexual power isn't just about intimacy—it's about activating the deepest creative force within you.For centuries, spiritual seekers have sensed something missing: a disconnect from sacred sexuality and the true potential of the womb.Here's the core challenge.Most of us grew up with distorted ideas about sex and creative energy.We're taught to focus on physical pleasure or reproduction, but not on the multi-dimensional wisdom encoded within us.The original purpose of sexual energy runs deeper than we've imagined.It's a frequency technology, designed to bridge souls, awaken dormant DNA, and heal fragmentation.The womb—present energetically in all beings—isn't only for birthing children.It's a portal for visions, timelines, and planetary renewal.Throughout history, this sacred power has been masked and misunderstood.Ancient teachers who mastered these mysteries saw their wisdom suppressed and their archetypes rewritten.The loss of this divine feminine wisdom left a lingering imprint of shame, division, and disconnection Yet the invitation now is to remember.Sexual sovereignty means consciously stewarding your creative life force—in union with love, truth, and source.It's the process of healing old wounds, clearing ancestral trauma, and embodying the original unity blueprint.This isn't just esoteric theory.Through breathwork, sacred ceremony, clear intention, and holographic readings, you can access your soul's archives, heal generational wounds, and awaken previously dormant strands of DNA.Transformation truly happens.Intuitive gifts reawaken, your sense of purpose repairs, and you begin to participate in planetary healing—simply by reclaiming the multi-dimensional power of your sexual energy and womb.If you're ready to experience this shift, consider trying a guided holographic reading or exploring the Oracle Journey app.Let's restore wholeness, ignite creativity, and anchor new possibilities for ourselves and the planet.If you are ready to experience this shift, consider a guided holographic reading or explore the Oracle Journey app.It's time to restore wholeness, ignite creativity, and anchor new possibilities for ourselves and for the planet.Reference

Blue, Christopher, Curt, Gilda, Naheem, and Larnez.Learn how negative self-talk, fear, and doubt can block your blessings—and how to push past them with mindset shifts, affirmations, and a belief in your divine purpose.
Midlife isn't a time for fading out. It's a time for reawakening. That's why in this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Emily Fletcher– founder of Ziva Meditation and the visionary behind Ziva Magic– as she shares how we can move beyond simply managing stress to actually alchemizing it into healing, pleasure, and personal power. We're diving into her deeply practical approach to reconnecting with your desires and feminine energy that will truly transform you. Emily explains how emotional alchemy and sacred pleasure can reignite your joy, helping you step out of survival mode and back into a life that feels alive. If you've recently felt numb, disconnected, or stuck in midlife, this conversation is your permission slip to say yes to your desires and reclaim the magic that has been within you all along! Emily Fletcher Emily Fletcher is an international speaker, author, and founder of Ziva Technique– a fusion of mindfulness, meditation, and manifestation that has helped over 50,000 people remove stress at the root and unlock their full potential.

In this culturally timely episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with Jacob Spehar—licensed mental health and addiction counselor and founder of Courageous Way Counseling. Together, they unpack the concept of “Death by Distraction”—how our dependence on screens, overstimulation, social media, hustle culture, and avoidance behaviors are not only numbing us but quietly stealing our joy and dismantling our families, physical and mental health, spiritual connection, and connections to one another. Jake shares both clinical insights and practical tools for interrupting the dopamine loops, rewiring your life with intention, and simplifying your environment for healing and joy. Jamie gets vulnerable about her own struggles, and together, they explore what it really takes to step off the conveyor belt and start living. Expect raw call outs, practical ideas, and a push for radical change - starting with bold, countercultural choices. This episode invites you to slow down and start leading your life and family with presence and purpose. You're not powerless. Start small. Go countercultural. It only seems hard until you do it. It only seems weird until everyone else starts doing it, too. Topics Covered: Screen addiction, social media, dopamine dysregulation Time as our most valuable and fleeting asset Trauma as a root cause The link between distraction and self-medication Parenting and restoring the family unit Men's mental health and community Why family meals, boredom, and silence matter Reclaiming mornings for neuroplasticity and spiritual alignment The invisible cost of overcommitment, youth sports, and the hustle How boundaries, presence, and “no” create better outcomes Resources Mentioned: Find a PHWC or NTP The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk Codependent No More.

In this episode, we explore what it means to be stuck in survival mode—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and how many of us are living from a place of fear, habit, and urgency without realizing it. Survival mode can look like over-functioning, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or just constantly pushing through. It's often the result of trauma, chronic stress, or a childhood where it wasn't safe to slow down or have needs. But while survival mode may have helped you get through hard times, it's not meant to be a permanent way of life. We also talk about the path forward—how to reconnect with your body, calm your regulate your nervous system, and start living in alignment with who you really are. Reclaiming your power doesn't require a life overhaul. It starts with small acts of self-ownership, and choosing from who you are—not just who you've had to be. If you're ready to move beyond coping and step into grounded, empowered living, this episode will give you tools, language, and encouragement to begin. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. The way you've been functioning might be more about surviving than truly living. 2. There's a powerful shift that happens when you start making choices from a different place. 3. Sometimes the smallest moments—how you breathe, how you pause, how you check in—can change everything. Survival mode helped you get through. But you weren't meant to live there forever.

Today's topic is all things matrescence as we look at the book, Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. We will discuss the process of matrescence and the developmental steps that many people do not understand. Join us to learn more! Jessie Harrold is a coach and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over 15 years. She works one-on-one with women and mothers to facilitate mentorship programs, women's circles, rituals, retreats, and nature-based experiences. Jessie is the author of Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage and Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. She also hosts The Becoming Podcast. Jessie lives on the east coast of Canada, where she raises her two children, writes, and tends the land. Show Highlights: What is matrescence? Comparisons between matrescence and adolescence (both transitions are processes that take time) Jessie's model of matrescence: The Four Elements of Radical Transformation: Earth – Orient yourself to what's true, and name the change. Water – (Think tears.) Grief over the self you were before this transformation is a normal part of transitioning to motherhood. Air – The liminal space of the “in-between” when you haven't fully integrated into the identity of being a mother. Fire – An igniting of the ember within you as you integrate into the identity of motherhood. This motherhood transition is an opportunity to let go of other things that aren't serving us well. Systemic factors that force women into “losing themselves in motherhood” The challenges we face in motherhood are part of the development into matrescence, but we still need the tools and resources to navigate them. “The Mother Powers”- the things that help us get through matrescence Matrescence is a beautiful process.

Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if perfectionism isn't ambition, but a nervous system reflex for survival? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by returning guest Piper Rose of ShadowPlay Coaching to explore perfectionism and rejection sensitivity through a neuroscience and trauma-informed lens. We reframe perfectionism as a high-cost survival strategy rooted in complex trauma, societal conditioning, and early nervous system adaptations. Together, Elisabeth Kristof, Jennifer Wallace, and Piper unpack how perfectionistic behaviors can emerge as reflexive responses to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), relational trauma, and the need for social safety. You'll learn the neurobiology of rejection, the health costs of chronic perfectionism, and how to shift from performance and people-pleasing into embodied wholeness. The episode offers practical tools and empowering frameworks for understanding the somatic roots of perfectionism and reclaiming your internal safety and authenticity. This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt like they had to earn love, approval, or belonging through being “perfect.” Topics discussed in this episode: Why perfectionism is a survival response, not a personality trait How rejection sensitivity forms in the nervous system The difference between perfectionism and growth-oriented excellence Why our brains respond to social rejection like physical pain The “garden” metaphor for complex trauma and coping How societal systems reinforce performance-based self-worth Chronic illness and the cost of emotional suppression The link between self-sacrifice and autoimmune conditions Why the nervous system must be regulated before healing perfectionism How somatic work shifts self-rejection into self-acceptance The paradox of people-pleasing and codependency Reclaiming energy and creativity from high-resource coping mechanisms Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ To learn more about Piper Rose and Shadow Play coaching, head to https://piperrosecoaching.com/ Connect with Piper on Instagram by heading to https://www.instagram.com/shadowplaycoaching/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this special cross-pollinated episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Siobhan Key and Dr. Jessie Mahoney—two fellow physician coaches and long-time collaborators—for a candid conversation about reframing life and work in medicine for greater sustainability. As the panel reflects on the past year and looks forward to 2025, they open up about personal growth, big life transitions, and how each of them is intentionally crafting a more fulfilling and balanced life both inside and outside the clinic. Listen in as Dr. Smith shares her journey of returning to Australia and embracing new adventures, Dr. Mahoney discusses building a retreat center and leaning into new opportunities, and Dr. Key explores the importance of replenishment, self-reflection, and pursuing passions beyond medicine. Together, they offer practical insights on adapting to change—whether it's integrating new technologies like AI scribing or simply surviving a new EMR rollout—and they speak honestly about the discomfort, excitement, and learning that comes with growth. This episode is filled with tips for creating sustainable routines, reflections on personal and professional development, and encouragement to embrace both the challenges and rewards of transformation. Whether you're a seasoned physician or just starting your practice, you'll find reassurance and inspiration in the stories, strategies, and camaraderie shared in today's discussion. Let's dive in! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Embrace Change at Your Own Pace: Whether it's new technology like AI scribing or a shift in your clinical environment, remember that adapting is a process—not a race. Give yourself grace and patience as you work through the inefficiencies and discomfort that accompany change (you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed at times!). Intentional Reflection Fuels Growth: Instead of traditional resolutions, try reflecting on the past year—what you're proud of, what challenged you, and what you truly want in the year ahead. For us, themes like connection, adventure, belonging, and “more me” set the tone for 2024. Connection & Coaching Matter: Sharing your struggles and wins—whether in group coaching, with a colleague, or through community—reduces isolation and leads to creative solutions. Investing in yourself (through coaching or peer support) isn't just valuable, it's transformative for your career and well-being. Letting Go of Frustration and Embracing Change Dr. Jessie Mahoney, a mindfulness coach and yoga instructor, shared a powerful analogy from her life. She recently moved to the countryside, where a creek outside her home serves as a daily reminder of how life ebbs and flows. Some days, the creek is calm and quiet; other days, it's noisy and chaotic. She's learned to embrace these shifts, recognizing that frustration only makes the hard moments harder. For physicians, this perspective is invaluable. Whether it's navigating a new workflow or dealing with workplace changes, letting go of frustration and focusing on what you can control can make all the difference. Asking for What You Need Dr. Sarah Smith has been adjusting to life and work in a new country, and she shared a simple but effective strategy: step back and ask yourself, What do I need to make this work for me? Whether you're facing a new team dynamic or adapting to technological shifts in your practice, pausing to evaluate your needs—and advocating for them—can help you approach change with confidence instead of overwhelm. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Today, we meet members of a riverside community who are grappling with an uncertain — and expensive — future. Then, we hear from teens on what the land back movement means to them.
About Guest: Joe Mugan joins me today to talk about his dark night of the soul moment where he found himself curled up in a ball on the floor of the spare room, completely numb—disconnected from his body, from his purpose, from anything that resembled ‘Him.' He didn't even know what was wrong, he just knew he couldn't carry on like that. Have you ever felt like that? I have.....reading his application brought me to tears because I felt it. I've been there --- but back to Joe ... from there on the floor it was the beginning—not of a grand awakening—but a slow, messy journey back to his truth. To who Joe is when it's all stripped back. Everything that's come since—his healing, his path as a coach and Shamanic Healer—it started there, in that moment of complete disconnection.Connect with Guest: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joemugancoachingWebsite: https://www.joemugancoaching.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joemugancoaching/Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/joemugancoachingConnect with Host Brenda Staat-Tomlinson:
Send us a textEpisode Overview In this heartfelt episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer is joined by worship leaders Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham for a raw conversation on the intersection of health, faith, and calling. What begins as a casual layover chat unfolds into a transformative discussion on the spiritual power of stewarding the body, breaking the cycle of burnout, and honoring God through physical discipline. Brandon shares the deeply personal journey that helped him reclaim energy, intimacy, and leadership at home—and why this new season feels more aligned than ever. Episode Highlights ● Health as Worship: True health isn't about appearance or biohacks—it's about honoring God with your body, mind, and spirit. ● From Burnout to Renewal: Brandon opens up about breaking free from people-pleasing and ministry-driven exhaustion to show up stronger for his family. ● The Soul and the Calling: Justin explains the importance of developing both your soul and your calling—neglecting either leads to burnout or stagnation. Action Steps ● Reflect on this question: “Have I surrendered my health to God?” Let it guide your next physical commitment. ● Start with hydration and one daily physical action (walk, jog, stretch) and commit to consistency over intensity. ● Use your workouts as worship—shift your mindset from performance to presence. ● Set clear boundaries around rest and renewal, especially if you're in a leadership or caregiving role. ● Reframe self-care as service: stronger bodies and minds allow you to love your people better.=========================== Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE: ➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG =========================== Resources: ⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/ =========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media: ➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en Own It Success is different so own your different!

In this illuminating episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Meredith Oke, founder of the Quantum Biology Collective and host of its popular podcast, for a deep, energizing conversation about healing, science, and personal transformation. Meredith opens up about her journey from a high-powered but emotionally disconnected media career to a profound spiritual and biological awakening that began when she could no longer ignore her chronic fatigue. What started as a quest for better health led her to a breakthrough discovery: the intersection of quantum physics and biology—a cutting-edge field once dismissed by mainstream science. Meredith breaks down how light, especially natural light, is not just essential but foundational to our health, influencing our hormones, mitochondria, circadian rhythms, and even long-term wellness. She also gets candid about her struggles in her twenties, the turning point that brought her to this work, and the small but impactful changes—like ditching screens before bed and stepping into morning sunlight—that transformed her life. From the spiritual to the scientific, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing often begins by reconnecting with nature, light, and the truth of who we really are.Website-qbcpod.com Social Media Links/handles-https://www.instagram.com/quantumbiologycollective/https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumBiologyCollective

Do you rush through your prayers without waiting for God's response? Jesse Cope challenges listeners to create space for divine guidance by actually listening after asking for direction. This powerful episode examines how our spiritual impatience mirrors broader cultural patterns where thoughtful silence feels almost impossible.The honeymoon phase of relationships doesn't have to end. Drawing from pastoral wisdom, Jesse presents a transformative approach to marriage—treating each day as a competition to "out-love" your spouse rather than keeping score. This refreshing perspective contrasts with the complacency that often creeps into long-term relationships, offering practical wisdom for rekindling that initial enthusiasm.Through an exploration of 1 Corinthians 9, the podcast addresses our responsibility toward spiritual leaders, emphasizing the importance of compensating pastors fairly so they can focus fully on ministry. Jesse shares a touching story about how a simple kind word brightened someone's entire day, demonstrating how our everyday interactions become our most powerful witness.Historical reflections highlight George H.W. Bush's powerful inaugural prayer that "there is but one just use of power and it is to serve people." This principle applies not just to national leadership but to everyone with any measure of authority—parents, managers, teachers, and community leaders. The founders' emphasis on looking to God while practicing "industry, frugality, and sobriety" offers timeless guidance for contemporary challenges.Whether you're struggling with spiritual discipline, seeking to strengthen your marriage, or wondering how to live out your faith authentically, this episode delivers practical wisdom for drawing closer to God and serving others more effectively.
