Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1618DM Gary admits something most successful people won't: his generosity isolates him. He's always the one providing emotional and financial value, which means no one feels safe telling him the truth. His solution? Gather your inner circle for the most awkward dinner of their lives and demand they tell you your weaknesses. Not later. Not in private. Together, in front of each other, so you suffocate your own excuses. Then he breaks down gratitude gorilla. Not the soft version. The version grounded in mortality. While you've been complaining about your job or your relationship, thousands of people got terminal diagnoses. Thousands died. Gary's friend was stuck comparing himself to everyone who had more. Gary flipped it: "Tell me who you have it better than." That question landed. The friend texted him later. The move is simple. Wake up. Recognize you didn't die last night. Build from there. Stop cataloging what's missing. Envy isn't new. MTV Cribs existed. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous existed. You survived school with the rich kid who had the BMW. This isn't a social media problem. It's a perspective problem. And perspective starts with simplicity. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How can the simple act of asking a sincere question awaken us from the trance of our habitual thinking? In this talk, Tara Brach explores the transformative power of spiritual inquiry—a practice that guides us beyond our stories and into direct, embodied awareness of what is truly happening within us. Through reflection, teachings from Buddhist wisdom traditions, and guided inquiry, Tara invites us to investigate questions like "What is happening inside me right now?" and "What am I believing?" These questions help reveal the beliefs and emotional patterns that keep us stuck and open the doorway to greater freedom, compassion, and presence. You'll also learn how inquiry supports the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture)—a powerful method for meeting fear, self-doubt, and emotional suffering with mindful awareness and kindness. By bringing curiosity to our inner life, we begin to loosen the grip of limiting beliefs and rediscover the spacious awareness that is our true nature. In this talk, Tara explores: • How spiritual inquiry helps awaken us from the "interpreted world" of thoughts • Questions that deepen mindfulness and self-awareness • Using inquiry within the RAIN meditation practice • How investigating beliefs can free us from fear and self-judgment • Opening to the mystery and aliveness of present-moment awareness   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace — a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Five minutes to awaken something within yourself. Created by ThePeaceRoom.love.In today's episode, we explore a simple yet powerful practice: learning how to accept people for who they are — whether they're coworkers, family members, or acquaintances who sometimes get under your skin.This gentle reflection offers three grounding steps to help ease stress, soften judgment, and bring more peace into everyday relationships:✨ Recognize that everyone is unique.Each person has their own path, values, and timing. When we release expectations that others should live the way we do, it becomes easier to honor their individuality.✨ Allow disagreement without disconnection.It's okay to see things differently. When someone you care about makes choices you wouldn't make yourself, this is an invitation to practice trust, curiosity, and compassion — especially when no harm is being done.✨ Bring the focus back to yourself.The only person you can truly change is you. By shifting attention away from how others live their lives and toward choices that bring you more joy, acceptance naturally follows.This episode reminds us that peace often begins within — and that when we stop trying to manage others, we create space for greater ease, understanding, and happiness in our own lives.Thank you for listening, and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.To learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki treatments, crystal healings, trainings, and workshops, visit www.thepeaceroom.love.Join us again whenever you need… 5 Minutes of Peace.

Why don't you believe in yourself… even when you know you're capable of more?If you have goals, ideas, and ambition — but constantly hear an inner voice saying:•“Who do you think you are?”•“You always quit.”•“Other people can do that — not you.”•“Don't embarrass yourself.”This episode of Mental Health School is for you.Because self-belief is not about motivation.It's about self-concept.You don't behave according to what you want.You behave according to what you believe you are.If your subconscious belief says you're inconsistent, behind, not disciplined, or not enough — your actions will quietly align with that identity. And then your results will reinforce it.In this episode, we break down:•Why you don't believe in yourself (and where that belief actually came from)•How subconscious beliefs shape your confidence and behavior•The difference between surface-level affirmations and true self-concept change•Why you cannot outperform your self-image for long•How to build self-trust through identity-based actionYou'll be guided through a structured self-concept exercise to help you:•Identify the hidden belief sabotaging your confidence•Recognize when and how you adopted it•Understand the cost of keeping it•Choose and reinforce a new identity aligned with who you want to becomeBecause you don't lack potential.You lack a self-image that supports it.Self-belief isn't something you wait to feel.It's something you decide — and then prove to yourself in small, consistent ways.If you're ready to stop doubting yourself and start rebuilding your identity from the inside out, press play.Welcome back to Mental Health School — where we regulate, relearn, and rebuild.

Issue Preclusion: The Systemic Power of Finality in Civil ProcedureIn this episode, we dissect the intricate doctrines of claim and issue preclusion—principles that dictate when a lawsuit truly ends and how judgments shape future litigation. Understanding these systemic rules is vital not only for exam success but also for navigating the complex landscape of modern mass litigation.Main Topics Covered:The fundamental distinction between claim preclusion (res judicata) and issue preclusion (collateral estoppel)How final judgments achieve systemic finality and the importance of the power of finalityThe five key elements ensuring proper application of issue preclusionThe constitutional and procedural limits on binding non-partiesThe role of courts' respect for judgments across different jurisdictions via the Full Faith and Credit ClauseHow doctrines adapt to mass litigation, such as class actionsKey Insights:Finality as systemic power: Judgments are more than mere resolutions—they possess a systemic authority that shapes future rights, reinforcing legal stability at the cost of occasional injustices.Claim preclusion is broad: It bars relitigation of claims arising from the same core facts if there's a final, on-the-merits judgment between the same parties.Transactional test: Modern courts favor a pragmatic approach—claims are considered identical if they stem from the same operative nucleus of fact, preventing strategic claim splitting.Issue preclusion's surgical precision: It prevents relitigation of specific issues actually litigated and essential to a final judgment, but only if those issues were actually decided and were appealable.Procedural safeguards matter: Default judgments, settlement agreements, and defaulted claims often escape issue preclusion because they're not actually litigated or decided.Inter-jurisdictional respect: The Full Faith and Credit Clause ensures judgments from one state or federal court are recognized and enforced across jurisdictions, with application of the originating jurisdiction's preclusion law.Non-party preclusion and due process: Strict mutuality rules have evolved into a more flexible framework allowing certain non-parties to be bound when fairness, representation, or statutory schemes justify it—foremost among them, class actions and statutory proceedings like bankruptcy.Practical Application:Approach complex fact patterns systematically: always start with claim preclusion, then move to issue preclusion if needed.Verify the finality, on-the-merits status, identity of parties, and whether the issue was actually litigated and essential.Always consider whether non-party preclusion applies under the six Taylor exceptions.Recognize the profound systemic importance: judgments are not just personal disputes—they shape real-world rights and systemic authority, often overriding individual participation for societal stability.Resources:Restatement (Second) of JudgmentsBernhard v. Bank of America (California case establishing non-mutual issue preclusion)[Full Faith and Credit Clause - U.S. Constitution](https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-4/)[28 U.S.C.

Would first‑century Christians even recognize what we call "church" today? In this episode, J. Warner Wallace uses a simple "alien thought experiment" to examine how closely (or how poorly) our modern church models resemble the church described in the book of Acts. Drawing from his own journey—from walking into a megachurch as a 35‑year‑old skeptic, to serving in a mid‑sized church, to planting a home church—Jim explores where we may have drifted from the New Testament pattern and how we can realign our communities with the biblical design for gathering, mission, and discipleship. This conversation will challenge how you think about Sunday services, church size, programs, and what it really means to live as the people of God in the world today.​ If this episode was helpful, please subscribe to the Cold-Case Christianity podcast so you never miss a new show, and take a moment to rate and review the podcast on your favorite platform—your review helps more people discover the truth of the Christian worldview.

If you've ever felt pressure to be the "good girl," you're not the only one. Dr. Mindy has heard from thousands of women who feel exhausted by the pressure to be agreeable, accommodating, and selfless. Many women were taught that being good meant putting everyone else first. But over time, that pattern often leads to resentment, burnout, and a deep disconnection from your own voice. That's why Dr. Mindy invited writer and cultural critic Elise Loehnen to join her for this conversation. Elise is the former Chief Content Officer of goop and the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.

In this conversation, Dr. Mindy and Elise unpack the invisible rules women have been taught to live by for generations. They explore why women were conditioned to suppress emotions like anger and envy, how people-pleasing shows up in female friendships, and why learning to trust your intuition is one of the most important skills a woman can develop. In this episode, you'll learn how to: -Reconnect with your intuition and inner authority -Understand the cultural conditioning shaping women's behavior -Recognize how suppressed emotions impact your health -Navigate female friendships with more awareness -Step out of people-pleasing patterns -Reclaim your voice and authenticity For any woman who feels like she has been living by expectations that don't truly belong to her, this conversation offers a new perspective. It helps you understand where those patterns came from and how to begin trusting yourself again.

Ever finish a long, pressure-filled day, sit down to "decompress," and still feel drained, distracted, or guilty? You're not broken. And social media isn't automatically the problem. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. challenges the popular narrative that all screen time is bad and reframes what's really going on beneath the surface – biologically, psychologically, and spiritually. This episode is about one simple truth: Decompression isn't the enemy. Unintentional decompression is. In this episode, you'll hear: Why decompression itself isn't the problem – and how unintentional decompression quietly drains your energy and presence What brain science says about stress, self-control, and why your nervous system craves familiarity after long, pressure-filled days How Scripture reframes rest and recovery as part of human design, not a lack of discipline or faith How to use your future best self to decide what to consume before you scroll A simple framework that turns social media from a liability into a recovery tool How adding purpose and guardrails to screen time helps you show up calmer, clearer, and more present at home What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Stop shaming yourself for needing recovery Recognize the difference between recovery and escape Intentionally decompress without losing your edge Transition from work to rest to presence with clarity and control No fluff. No guilt. Just a practical, science-backed and faith-aligned strategy you can use today. KEY QUOTES "The problem is NOT social media – it's [social media] consumption without purpose." - J.R. "This is why social media content that you prefer…content that you interpret as a release…it can actually reduce cognitive load and help your brain move toward recovery." - J.R. "Even Jesus withdrew regularly to quiet places—not to quit, but to recover…to restore capacity…to decompress." - J.R.

Jessie Inchauspé drops a truth bomb most moms never hear: what you eat during pregnancy doesn't just affect you. It rewires your baby's metabolism, nervous system, and disease risk for life. She shares groundbreaking research showing how glucose spikes during pregnancy can double a child's diabetes risk decades later, and why the old "bun in the oven" metaphor does actual harm to expecting mothers. This isn't about restriction or perfection. It's about understanding that you're not passive during pregnancy, you're soil nourishing a seed. The simple shifts Jessie teaches can protect your child from chronic inflammation, strengthen their immune system, and give them a metabolic advantage from day one. Whether you're planning pregnancy, currently expecting, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will change how you think about prenatal nutrition forever.

Hey Team! This week I've got Cate Osborn and Erik Gude on the show. Cate, known online as Catieosaurus, holds an M.Ed and uses her background in research and sex education to help neurodivergent folks navigate relationships and communication. Erik, known online as HeyGude, is an advocate and speaker who uses his platform to destigmatize the messy internal monologue of the ADHD brain. Honestly, it almost feels like I don't need to introduce these two given everything they've produced; they are definitely an online powerhouses. I've been a fan of their podcast, Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure, for quite a while now. So I imagine you've probably seen at least something from them. And they've spent the last few years distilling their combined experiences into a new book designed to act as a foundational knowledge base for neurodivergent adults. The book The ADHD Field Guide for Adults was a ton of fun to read; it's written in an incredibly ADHD-friendly manner, and I really appreciated the approach, making this a book for adults where I don't feel like I'm being talked down to. So in the episode, we're definitely talking about the book, but we go into a ton of different topics. We talk about the "systems-first" approach to ADHD management. We break down the precision of language and why understanding that distinction matters. And a whole lot more, there's just a ton of stuff in this episode. Check out The ADHD Field Guide for Adults which is available in hardcover, e-book, and as an audiobook narrated by the authors Cate and Erik. Visit Catieosaurus.com for information on Cate's national tour, "Wildly Unprepared," and upcoming book signing events.

Shame is an unchangeable dead end, but guilt is a "window for change" that allows you to acknowledge a behavior, such as being late or having a messy car, without condemning your entire identity. Recognize that "defeat" is often more comfortable than "failure" because defeat asks nothing of you; it simply means the game is over. Overcoming ADHD difficulties requires a healthy relationship with failure. Try viewing failure as a data point for "dissecting the system" rather than a reason to just stop trying. Many ADHD systems fail because they are built to satisfy "residual gook" from childhood. We often have internalized rules about how things "should" be done, like folding socks or separating silverware that have no basis beyond that it's just how we've always done it. Audit your tasks to see if you actually care about the result; if you don't, dismantling the expectation (like using bins instead of folding laundry) can remove the cognitive load of a performance you don't actually value.

What if the leadership advice to “push harder” and “toughen up” isn't motivation—but misalignment? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, leadership coach Sira Laurel explores why so many capable leaders burn out—not because they're weak, but because the system was never designed for how they process the world. This episode is for highly sensitive professionals, neurodivergent leaders, and anyone feeling exhausted from “masking” at work. You'll walk away with a new lens: your sensitivity isn't a liability—it can be your greatest leadership advantage when the environment supports your nervous system. About the Guest: Sira Laurel is the founder of North of Normal and a leadership coach working at the intersection of neuro-leadership, organizational development, and behavioral science. She previously spent 15 years in corporate leadership and HR/OD roles, and her work is shaped by lived experience with sensitivity and burnout. Episode Chapters: 00:07:07 — The opening truth: when leadership advice works against your wiring 00:08:31 — Sira's burnout turning point and founding North of Normal 00:11:26 — What gets misunderstood about sensitive and neurodivergent leaders 00:16:22 — Why traditional leadership fails: assumptions about pace, processing, and recharge 00:19:21 — Reframing “too sensitive” and “overthinking” into leadership strengths 00:21:37 — The orchid, tulip, dandelion metaphor for work environments 00:25:27 — The weekly reflection: alignment vs assimilation Key Takeaways: Notice where you're masking emotions to fit “executive presence,” and what it costs you. Reframe “overthinking” as risk prevention and opportunity detection—a real business asset. Recognize that leadership models often assume everyone processes information the same way. Use the “orchid/tulip/dandelion” lens to identify what environment helps you thrive. Practice one honest check-in: Where am I in alignment vs assimilation this week? If you're sensitive, aim to be both the flower and the gardener—meet your needs on purpose.

OVERVIEW: In this episode, Ashley and Gabe Cox discuss the intricacies of goal planning, balancing personal and professional life, and the importance of defining one's 'why' in the pursuit of success. Gabe shares her three-part system for achieving goals: See it, Plan it, and Do it, emphasizing the need for flexibility and self-care throughout the process. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by high-achieving women and the necessity of setting boundaries to maintain mental health and well-being while striving for personal and professional goals. Takeaways It's essential to define your 'why' to stay committed to your goals. Balance looks different for everyone; it's about finding peace in your priorities. Action builds confidence; you can't gain confidence without taking steps. Planning is crucial, but be prepared for flexibility in your approach. Embrace discomfort as a sign of growth and progress. Set boundaries to protect your time and energy. Recognize that change is hard, but it's a necessary part of growth. Focus on one to three main goals to avoid overwhelm. Celebrate small victories to maintain motivation. Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for sustainable success.

In a world marked by brokenness, setbacks, and uncertainty, the book of Nehemiah offers a powerful roadmap for restoration.

Simon Sinek drops a truth early that most people are not prepared to hear: income inequality is a greater social threat than AI or another pandemic, and history shows exactly where that kind of imbalance leads. He connects that global tension directly to what is happening inside your own relationships, because the same failure to listen, the same refusal to co-create, shows up at the kitchen table and in the boardroom. Simon challenges the idea that vulnerability means broadcasting your emotions online, arguing that true safety comes only when you sit across from someone you trust and say the hard thing out loud. He lays out a simple reframe for capitalism itself, one built around purpose first, people second, and profit third, and shows how that same hierarchy applies to how you show up at work and at home. Walk away from this conversation with a clearer picture of who you actually work for and why getting that answer right changes everything. Simon's books: Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't Together Is Better: A Little Book of Inspiration Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team The Infinite Game Start with Why 15th Anniversary Edition: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action In this episode you will: Learn why broadcasting vulnerability online gives you likes but not the safety you are actually looking for, and what real vulnerability requires. Discover why the metrics you use to measure a good day, productivity, followers, titles, are actively working against your sense of worth and what to track instead. Understand how to co-create boundaries in relationships and at work so both sides feel heard rather than managed. Recognize the social ripples that fear creates around AI and economic inequality so you can respond thoughtfully rather than react from panic. Reframe what it means to live a life of service, whether you lead a company, a team, or just show up daily for the people around you.

In this episode, Elisha Goldstein talks about how to go from overwhelm to empowerment by harnessing tiny shifts for emotional resilience. He explains how small, consistent changes, or “tiny shifts”, can break negative emotional loops and improve stress, relationships, and longevity.

Paul exhorts true Christians to examine themselves before taking the Passover. What is true self-examination? Recognize what it means to truly consider your ways.

Have you ever felt restless without quite knowing why? Not deeply unhappy and not exactly burned out, just faintly dissatisfied, as though something essential were missing. That feeling may be what I call emotional hunger. In this episode, we explore why so many of us reach for quick fixes like distraction, productivity, or reassurance, only to find that the relief never quite lasts. Beneath those impulses is often a deeper unmet need — one that hasn't yet been clearly named. Drawing from personal insight and psychological frameworks, we'll look at how emotional hunger shows up in everyday life, why we often feed it substitutes, and how to recognize the signals your inner “dashboard” may be sending. By the end of this conversation, you'll learn how to identify the deeper needs beneath your habits and restlessness, and how to begin nourishing them in ways that bring genuine clarity, balance, and fulfillment.

Paul exhorts true Christians to examine themselves before taking the Passover. What is true self-examination? Recognize what it means to truly consider your ways.

Do friendships feel harder than they should? Do you want deeper connection… but always feel too tired, too busy, or too overwhelmed to try? Do you find yourself automatically saying no—even when part of you is longing for community? In today's episode, we continue the conversation about friendship by talking about one of the biggest barriers to real connection: our resistance to saying yes. Not because we don't care. Not because we don't want friends. But because comfort, fear, and routine quietly start making our decisions for us. We talk about: • Why adult friendships require intentional effort • How comfort culture and “protect your peace” thinking can keep us isolated • Why your default might be “no” without you realizing it • The difference between healthy boundaries and self-protection • Why deep friendships always cost something • How convenience is often the enemy of connection • What it really looks like to build community over time This episode will help you: • Recognize where you've been closing yourself off without meaning to • Understand why discomfort is part of building real relationships • Learn how to say yes without burning out • Stop waiting to be chosen and start participating • Take small, realistic steps toward deeper friendships If you've been praying for community but avoiding opportunities for it… this episode will gently challenge you. You don't need a perfect schedule. You don't need a perfect house. You don't need to feel “ready.” Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is say yes. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

This episode will open your eyes. Because the truth is: the universe may already be trying to give you everything you want. The real question is whether you've removed the resistance to receive it.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Gary Miles discuss: Facing fear with clarity Owning your internal authority Focusing on the process, not the outcome Building freedom through micro-shifts   Key Takeaways: Fear is common in legal careers, often hidden behind competence. Recognize that much of it is imagined, not reality. Facing it openly allows lawyers to act with clarity and confidence. Internal authority matters more than external validation. Measure success by your own standards, preparation, and effort, not by others' opinions or metrics. This mindset creates professional freedom and peace of mind. Enjoying the process improves performance more than obsessing over outcomes. Focus on preparation, relationships, and skill-building instead of constant comparison or pressure to “win.” This approach fosters growth and satisfaction. Small, practical shifts build lasting change. Replace self-critical thoughts with supportive ones, set clear boundaries, and evaluate progress by skill, enjoyment, and well-being. Over time, these micro-actions compound into meaningful professional freedom.   “There's fear everywhere. Unfortunately, the reality is that we have to lean into it… We have to lean into the fear and make mistakes, and that's how we improve." —  Gary Miles   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare.From symptom checkers to diagnostic algorithms and predictive analytics, AI tools are becoming more powerful every year.But can AI actually replace a rheumatologist?In this video, we explore the real role of artificial intelligence in autoimmune care and rheumatology — including:• What AI does well• Where AI falls short• Why autoimmune disease is uniquely complex• The importance of clinical judgment• Pattern recognition vs human nuance• The future of AI-assisted medicineRheumatologic conditions like:• Rheumatoid arthritis• Lupus• Psoriatic arthritis• Ankylosing spondylitisrequire more than lab interpretation. They require context, lived experience, pattern evolution, and understanding the whole patient.AI can:✔️ Analyze large datasets✔️ Recognize imaging patterns✔️ Flag abnormal labs✔️ Support clinical decision-makingBut it cannot:✖️ Replace longitudinal relationships✖️ Interpret subtle symptom evolution✖️ Understand patient goals and preferences✖️ Deliver individualized nuanceThe future likely isn't AI versus physicians.It's AI supporting physicians — while preserving the human expertise required for complex autoimmune disease.If you live with autoimmune disease or are curious about the future of medicine, this is a conversation you need to hear.

Episode overview In this episode of Investments Unplugged, hosts Kevin Headland and Macan Nia mark International Women's Day by exploring longevity through the lens of women and financial preparedness. They're joined by Director, Multi-Asset Solutions Erica Camilleri, who shares thoughts and research on why longevity risk is higher for women, how today's macroeconomic backdrop (including higher cross-asset correlations and persistent inflation) can amplify retirement risks, and what investors can do—through better planning, appropriate risk-taking, and sound advice—to reduce the odds of outliving their savings.   Key topics & insights 1. Longevity risk and why it's higher for women Financial shortfall risk gap — Manulife research found that women in Canada face a higher risk of experiencing financial shortfalls in retirement than men do (34% vs. 29%). It's not just living longer — Longevity risk stems from a mix of longer (and rising) life expectancies, plus structural and social factors that can reduce lifetime savings and increase retirement vulnerability. 2. Health, wealth, and “longevity preparedness” Health and wealth are intertwined — The conversation emphasizes that longevity preparedness isn't only about financial issues; for example, poor health can worsen retirement outcomes and vice versa. New tools and frameworks — The “longevity preparedness index” is designed to measure readiness to thrive while aging in retirement and is expected to expand into Canada in coming years. 3. The role of incentives and behaviour change (and why it matters for outcomes) Incentives can drive better habits — The episode highlights research over decades indicating that specific goals outperform vague “do your best” goals and discusses how incentive-based programs can encourage healthier behaviour (and, by extension, better long-term outcomes). 4. Structural inflation is still a long-term retirement risk Inflation has moderated cyclically but remains structurally higher — Even if inflation trends toward central bank targets, the episode argues households are still living with a higher price level and that long-run inflation may settle in the mid-to-high 2% range rather than the pre-pandemic norm. Retirement math is sensitive to small inflation shifts — A modest upward shift in expected inflation (example discussed: +40 bps) can materially raise required savings/asset levels for retirement (example cited: a 30-year-old might need ~19% more assets). 5. Portfolio construction challenges: higher correlations and concentration risk Diversification is harder when correlations rise — The hosts discuss higher correlations within equities and between equities and fixed income, plus increased market concentration—factors that can make portfolios more vulnerable to shocks. Longevity risk is amplified by portfolio risk — In a “fluid” market backdrop, managing drawdowns and sequence-of-returns risk becomes more important for sustaining long retirements. 6. Mitigating longevity risk: saving earlier, compounding, and appropriate risk Start early; small changes matter — The conversation stresses the power of compounding and the outsized impact of starting earlier (even with small incremental improvements). Avoid being overly conservative — The episode argues many investors (especially in defined contribution plans) are too conservative, and that growth asset exposure is critical to reducing shortfall risk over multi-decade retirements. Rethinking retirement glidepaths — Erica explains their approach avoids a static asset allocation through retirement, allowing for more growth exposure early in retirement given retirements can last decades. 7. Advice, planning, and using the right tools (including RRSPs) Financial advice early helps — A repeated theme is that advice earlier in life helps investors understand opportunities, risks, and the need for money to last throughout retirement (and potentially leave a legacy). Tax-advantaged tools matter — The hosts reference prior discussions on RRSP benefits and how tax savings can compound and support retirement resilience. ·   Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors Plan for a longer retirement than you think: Build your plan around the possibility of a multi-decade retirement (the episode references retirements that could stretch to ~40 years). Don't ignore inflation in long-range assumptions: Stress-test your retirement plan for slightly higher long-term inflation; even small changes can require meaningfully higher savings. Prioritize time in the market (compounding): If you're early in your career, focus on starting now—small contribution increases made earlier can have an outsized impact later. Be deliberate about risk—not automatically conservative: Review whether your portfolio is too cautious for your horizon (including early retirement), since insufficient growth can increase shortfall risk. Diversify with today's correlation regime in mind: Recognize that diversification may be less reliable when equity/fixed income correlations rise; ensure your portfolio isn't overly concentrated in a few exposures. Use advice and tax tools to improve outcomes: Consider getting financial advice earlier and make full use of retirement vehicles (e.g., RRSPs) where appropriate to improve after-tax compounding.   Links & Resources Listen to the episode:Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments:Manulife IM Canada Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.   For informational purposes only.

A — What is this passage about? David escapes to the cave of Adullam while fleeing from Saul. His family joins him, along with people who are distressed, in debt, and discontented, forming a group of about 400 men under David's leadership. God continues protecting David by providing followers, safeguarding his parents in Moab, and sending the prophet Gad to guide him. B — Best verse to summarize the passage 1 Samuel 22:2 — This verse highlights the gathering of the distressed and discontented around David, showing how God begins forming David's leadership and protecting him through people. C — What are we called to do? Trust that God is working behind the scenes even when life seems uncertain. Follow God's direction faithfully, just as David obeyed when instructed to move. Recognize that God often gathers broken people and leads them under His righteous King.

Eckhart Tolle shares what may be the most counterintuitive truth about human suffering: the pain you feel is almost never caused by your circumstances - it comes from the mental narrative you attach to them. So many people carry a heavy identity built from past wounds, failures, and stories they've been repeating for years, never realizing they are not the story. Eckhart walks through why the ego is so deeply ingrained that even enormous suffering isn't always enough to break its hold - and why the present moment is the only place where that grip can finally loosen. He breaks down the law of attraction with unusual clarity, showing why manifesting from neediness pushes what you want further away, and why true abundance starts with appreciating what already exists around you. By the end, you'll understand why the journey itself - not the destination - is where life actually happens, and how shifting your state of consciousness right now changes everything that comes next. Eckhart's books: The Power of Now Practicing the Power of Now Stillness Speaks A New Earth In this episode you will: Discover why your psychological suffering is almost always caused by mental narratives, not by your actual circumstances, and how to separate the two in real time. Learn a simple practice for experiencing the present moment without the weight of interpretation, so you can find peace even in frustrating situations. Understand why the ego can never be satisfied by achievement or money, and what actually creates lasting fulfillment. Recognize the difference between manifesting from lack versus manifesting from fullness - and how one quietly destroys what you're trying to create. Explore what it means to know yourself beyond your personal story, so you can access the deeper dimension of consciousness that is already whole and complete.

Ashley Rouse shares how surrender, letting go, and reinvention led to clarity and new beginnings after closing her company, Trade Street Jam Co. _____ After building a nationally recognized brand, Ashley Rouse returns to Dreams In Drive - eight years later - to share the raw truth about closing Trade Street Jam Co., embracing surrender, and stepping into new beginnings with her new creative agency Rouse Like House. A heartfelt, inspiring conversation for anyone navigating change, letting go, or finding clarity and purpose in life's next chapter. ______ In this deeply honest and full-circle conversation, Ashley Rouse (Episode 174 guest) returns eight years later to Dreams In Drive to reflect on the evolution from the woman who was scaling Trade Street Jam Co. at lightning speed to the woman she is today — one who chose surrender, healing, and alignment over external definitions of success. Ashley opens up about the circumstances surrounding and the grief of closing Trade Street Jam Co., the loss of identity that comes when your life's work ends, and the emotional and spiritual clarity that followed. She shares how motherhood and deep personal growth forced her to redefine what success, ambition, and purpose look like in this new season. Most importantly, she reframes surrender as a power move, a conscious decision to trust that releasing what no longer aligns creates space for new vision, new pathways, and a more authentic future. What We Discussed: Surrender & Purpose: Finding the courage to realize that a business is just a "tangible asset" and that her true purpose—helping other entrepreneurs—remains intact. The Realities of Running A Product-Based Business: Ashley breaks down why running a product-based CPG business is "no joke," discussing the capital intensive, inventory-heavy nature of the industry and the pressure of scaling, and seeking investors as a Black Woman The Power of Community: How sharing her "messy" journey on Instagram built a community that ultimately saved her during her transition. This conversation is for anyone who: Feels the pull toward a new beginning Is questioning a long-held dream Is learning to detach their worth from their work Is navigating a transition season You'll walk away with both the emotional language and the practical mindset shifts needed to: Recognize when it's time to move on Honor the chapter you're closing without shame Trust the unknown Rebuild from a place of clarity and self-alignment.

He founded two Austin-based healthcare innovators: Sedera, a community-based medical cost-sharing organization (#193 on Inc 500, #26 in Financial Times Western Hemisphere), and Precina Health, a first-of-its-kind chronic care virtual medical practice and thought leader in AI deployment. He has served on the boards of OnlineMedEd and Health Admins and advises institutions, healthcare leaders, professional services firms, and nonprofits through John Oberg Advisory.  John received his doctorate from the University of Southern California and his MBA from the University of New Mexico.

Over three decades, he has authored patents, started companies, managed teams larger than 1,000 people, and studied the behavior of individuals, communities, and systems to catalyze improved behaviors and create best-in-class outcomes — and happier people.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. John Oberg discuss: The distinction between eustress (healthy, muscle-building stress) and distress (harmful, breaking stress) Mental fatigue and the limits of cognitive processing The concept of an “emotional gas tank” and emotional capacity Radically incremental steps as a method for sustainable behavior change The role of community in motivating difficult but healthy actions   Key Takeaways: Differentiate between eustress and distress and aim for muscle-building stress instead of broken-bone stress. Recognize that the brain can only process so much information and account for mental fatigue in how you work and lead. Take radically incremental steps toward change rather than attempting dramatic overhauls.

In this powerful livestream, Kara explores the intense global energy surrounding the March 3 total lunar eclipse and the 3:3 portal, and what it means for our collective consciousness. We are living through extraordinary times. From escalating conflict in the Middle East to widespread cultural and financial instability, many are feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or energetically destabilized. Kara shares reflections on eclipse season, prophetic cycles referenced across indigenous traditions and the Book of Revelation, and the deeper spiritual meaning behind systems appearing to crumble. Rather than remaining in consumer mode or getting lost in chaotic narratives, this episode invites you into conscious creatorship. You'll learn how to: • Understand eclipse energy and collective amplification • Recognize distraction cycles during times of systemic exposure • Align with the highest timeline for you and your family • Anchor 100% pure Source light into physical reality • Move from overwhelm into empowered conscious creation This is a reminder that you are not powerless.

Selling your company isn't always a flex. Sometimes the bravest exit is walking away. If you're “fine” but your body is screaming, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Exit Whisperer, Carrie sits down with Roslyn McLarty, co-founder of The GIST, who left a fast-growing, funded company when burnout stopped being a vibe and started being a warning sign.We get into the unsexy truth founders don't post: the eye twitch, the dread, the “take a long weekend” advice that solves nothing, and the moment you realize it's not just hard — it's misaligned. Roslyn breaks down what burnout actually is (a chronically activated nervous system), how to tell “push through” from “get out,” and why chasing outcomes (revenue, valuation, the headline) is the fastest route to losing yourself.02:19 Meet Roslyn McLarty04:18 Building The GIST From Scratch05:08 Why Fundraising Was an Uphill Battle07:24 Role Misalignment: The Silent Burnout Trigger12:41 Hitting Burnout — And Finally Stopping19:56 The Inner Critic That Won't Shut Up20:16 How Burnout Warps Business Decisions21:22 The Emotional Whiplash of Leaving Your Company22:19 Processing Grief, Relief, and Identity Loss24:25 Finding Alignment After the Exit26:16 Rebuilding Without Burning Out Again29:50 How to Recognize and Regulate Burnout33:44 What Every Founder Needs to Hear

Money isn't just math and for most entrepreneurs, it never has been. In this episode, Brian Thompson continues the budgeting series with part two: acceptance. Building on the awareness foundation laid in the first episode, Brian explores the emotional side of budgeting and why looking at your numbers without shame or judgment is just as important as looking at them at all.   Why Financial Acceptance Is the Missing Piece Once you have your numbers, you're naturally going to have feelings about them. Money is tied to your upbringing, your fears, your identity, and your sense of security. Brian sees it constantly in his client work: people come to meetings with shame, and leave relieved when they don't get one. So many entrepreneurs carry money baggage — internalized messages from family, society, and past financial mistakes. The inner critic says you should have started sooner, charged more, or be further along by now. Acceptance means pausing that voice and recognizing that wherever you're starting from is exactly the right place to begin.   Five Money Mindset Shifts to Practice Brian outlines five concrete shifts to help entrepreneurs face their finances with curiosity and compassion instead of guilt and defensiveness. Replace judgment with curiosity. Instead of shaming yourself for a spending decision, ask what was going on in your life or business that made it feel necessary at the time. Recognize your defensiveness. Money touches on security and identity, so defensiveness is normal, but it can keep you from learning. When you notice it, pause and breathe. Know your money story. What did you learn about money growing up? What beliefs are you still carrying that may no longer serve you? Bringing them into the light is the first step to releasing them. Practice self-compassion. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself about money? Probably not. Give yourself the same grace. Remember that facing it doesn't require shame, just courage and kindness. You can't change what you don't face, but you don't have to face it harshly.   The Power of Finally Exhaling Some of Brian's most meaningful client moments happen in budget sessions. Not because the numbers are great, but because clients finally feel seen and understood. Some have broken down in tears, not from devastation, but from relief. The fear and avoidance they'd been carrying for years turns out to be heavier than the numbers themselves. As Brian puts it, you can't build something beautiful on a foundation of shame. But when you accept where you are, you give yourself a place to stand.   Your Action Step This week, set aside time to journal on one or more of these questions:  What emotions come up when I look at my finances?  What messages about money did I carry growing up?  What would it feel like to release judgment?  You don't have to have all the answers, you just need to be honest. If you want to share a reflection, Brian welcomes DMs on Instagram at @BTFinancial. Next episode, the series moves into action: taking your awareness and acceptance and turning them into intentional, strategic decisions.   Resources + Links Episode 110: Budgeting Series #1: A Guide to Financial Awareness Newsletter Sign Up Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

Ronn Nicolli sat in a nearly empty Wynn on Christmas night in 2005 no retail open, barely a soul on the casino floor and watched that same property become so packed 20 years later that his family stood in line 45 minutes for an ice cream cone. That contrast, he says, is the entire lesson of what brand integrity, follow-through, and knowing who you are can build over time. The CMO and Chief Experience Officer of the Meruelo Group, overseeing the Sahara Las Vegas, Grand Sierra Resort, three radio stations, two Latin TV networks, and a portfolio of businesses that spans well beyond hospitality, Ronn has spent 25 years climbing from a college grad passing out flyers on the Las Vegas Strip to one of the most respected marketing executives in the city. But the real story isn't the title. It's every decision he made along the way to earn the right to be in the room. He opens up about leaving Resort World after six years when he had planned on ten, the moment he realized staying too long in the wrong fit is just as damaging as quitting too early, and why his new role at the Meruelo Group was the only offer compelling enough to make him say yes. He also gets honest about envy, resentment, and the self-reflection it took to finally put those things down  and what it felt like to feel alive in his career again. Whether you're a marketer trying to get your ideas off the whiteboard, a leader figuring out how to build a culture people don't want to leave, or someone standing at a crossroads deciding if it's time to make a move, this conversation will hit different.   In this episode you will: Understand why the gap between a good marketer and a great one comes down to operationalizing ideas, not just having them Learn how to walk into any executive meeting having already anticipated the rebuttal Discover why "no" takes zero effort and what it costs you every time you take the easy way out Recognize the difference between people who aren't growing and people who are genuinely happy — and why mistaking one for the other is a leadership trap Apply Ronn's framework for knowing when a fit has run its course before it starts costing you everything

Shaun White admits that losing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics had nothing to do with his body and everything to do with his heart not being in it. That honest reckoning launched a years-long process of rebuilding from the inside out, patching broken relationships, ditching a fake social media persona, and assembling a team that actually shared his vision. Then a training crash in New Zealand left him with 62 stitches and lungs full of blood just months before the 2018 Olympics, forcing a gut-check question: how badly do you really want this? His answer carried him to a third gold medal and the most emotionally charged finish of his career.

Leslie John drops a finding that stops most people cold: couples married an average of 12 years guessed what their partner was thinking and feeling correctly only 20% of the time. That gap between how well you think you know someone and how well you actually know them is where relationships quietly break down. It's the same dynamic playing out in friendships, at work, and in families everywhere. You think you're saving people discomfort by holding back, but what you're actually doing is building a wall you can't see. Leslie walks through the science of "disclosure decisions," the hundreds of small choices you make each day about what to say and what to swallow, and what it costs you over time when the scales tip too far toward silence. Learning to share with the right people, at the right moments, with the right context isn't just good communication. It's how you build the kind of relationships that actually hold. The Greatness Playbook: The Communication Mastery Edition Leslie's book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing In this episode you will: Discover why undersharing, not oversharing, is quietly destroying your closest relationships and what the research says about the real cost of silence. Understand how "mind reading expectations" create a hidden trap in romantic relationships and learn the simple shift that breaks the cycle before resentment builds. Learn the one question that can open any conversation with a guarded partner and why leading with your own vulnerability is more powerful than finding the perfect words. Recognize how the things you leave unsaid pile up into a weight that erodes your self-respect over time and what it takes to start speaking your truth again. Apply the science of the feedback sandwich, including what the research actually found about which part matters most, so you can deliver hard truths in a way people can actually hear.
