Finding a job in today's economy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With interest rates remaining high and the job market slowing, this is a strategic moment to refresh your job search. By combining diligence, adaptability, and prayerful preparation, you can approach this season with confidence rooted in God's wisdom.Proverbs 27:12 reminds us: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Preparation matters—not just in life but in your job search. With the right approach, you can steward your time, skills, and relationships wisely while trusting God to guide your steps.A great place to start is your resume. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter applications before a human ever reviews them, so tailoring your resume to each job description is essential. Use specific keywords, highlight measurable results, and connect your experience directly to the role. Think of it as stewardship—presenting your God-given abilities thoughtfully and effectively.Building Relationships That Open DoorsEven in a digital age, networking is still king. Studies show up to 85% of jobs are filled through referrals, and many roles are never posted publicly. Reconnect with colleagues, reach out to mentors, and don't overlook your church community. Genuine, relational conversations—built on curiosity rather than transaction—often lead to opportunities you couldn't find otherwise.Employers are also seeking adaptable learners. Developing skills in areas like AI, digital communication, or project management shows you're willing to grow. Affordable platforms like Coursera, edX, and Google Career Certificates make it easy to build new skills that employers value.Standing Out in a Digital WorldYour online presence is often the first impression an employer has. More than 70% of hiring managers review social media profiles, and nearly half say what they find influences their decision. Clean up questionable content, complete your LinkedIn profile, and stay active with thoughtful updates. Treat it as your digital business card—when you remain visible, opportunities are more likely to find you.Interviews have also shifted online. Prepare your space, dress professionally, and look into the camera to build connection. Small details—like lighting, posture, and a thank-you note afterward—leave a lasting impact.Trusting God in the ProcessA slowing job market can stir up fear, but Philippians 4:6–7 offers comfort: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Preparation and diligence matter, but so do prayer and trust. God orders your steps. Every interview, every connection, and every opportunity is part of His greater story for your life. Search faithfully, not fearfully, knowing He is your ultimate provider.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:What is the statute of limitations for a collection agency to pursue a debt I still owe?I'm thinking about applying for Social Security Disability because of a physical condition from my recent job.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... This soothing meditation is designed to awaken compassion within yourself and for the world around you during the Elul and Tishrei in the Jewish calendar. This healing rest journey is specifically created for the days leading up to the high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This session invites you to lie down in a comfortable space and connect deeply with your breath, encouraging relaxation and introspection. Drawing inspiration from Rabbi Avraham Joshua Heschel's teachings, this practice encourages you to release judgment and embrace a state of compassionate witnessing. Throughout the practice, you'll journey through the five gateways of consciousness, culminating in a transcendent experience of unity in the field of compassion. This episode offers a chance to plant an intention-- a special kavanah-- and let it resonate deeply within you. Listen in and allow yourself to be enveloped in the warmth of compassion. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you're fully supported completely at ease, ready to embark on this journey of introspection and spiritual awareness. Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest. Breath Awareness: Practice guided breathwork to connect with your compassionate heart Visualization: Rest in deep awareness experiencing vivid guided imagery Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and guide you towards spiritual elevation and self-realization. Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state, bringing with you the tranquility and insights gained from this practice. Reconnect with your surroundings to integrate the peace and clarity into your daily life and embrace the essence of this season.

Please join me in welcoming Meg Young to the podcast, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in trauma therapy, anxiety relief, and burnout recovery for helping professionals! In this conversation, Kayla Fite and Meg Young discuss the complexities of trauma therapy, particularly focusing on the experiences of first responders. They explore the importance of validation in therapy, the role of EMDR in trauma recovery, and the limitations of traditional talk therapy. The discussion emphasizes the need for community engagement and the significance of creating safe spaces for individuals to express their feelings and experiences. The conversation also explores anxiety, body-based tools for healing, and the connection between burnout and emotional well-being. Takeaways Validation is crucial for individuals experiencing trauma. EMDR is an effective technique for processing trauma. Trauma can be a buildup of experiences, not just personal events. Therapy provides a safe space for individuals to express their feelings. The body holds onto trauma, which can affect mental health. Understanding triggers involves recognizing physical sensations. Emotional safety is as important as physical safety. Body-based tools can help manage anxiety effectively. Burnout is closely linked to emotional well-being and requires attention. Healing involves understanding the body's signals and responses.

SHOW NOTES: On this show… I'm inviting you to step out of your résumé and into your real self as we redefine your story because it's about who you are, not just what you've done. In a world obsessed with titles and accomplishments, we're exploring the depth of identity that extends far beyond a job title. Let's peel back the layers, laugh at our own career clichés, and reclaim the core traits that make us resilient, creative, and deeply human. We'll explore how your strengths, values, and patterns, not your latest promotion, are the real engines of your career and your purpose. I'll walk you through simple, fun, yet soul-stirring exercises that coax out the traits you might've tucked away. Ready for a journey back to you? Let's start with a bold idea: You are not your job. Now, before your inner overachiever starts to panic, this doesn't mean your work isn't important. It simply means it's not all of who you are. And yet, so many of us introduce ourselves by title and task: “I'm a project manager,” “I work in healthcare,” “I run operations.” We rarely say, “I'm a creative problem solver,” “a compassionate truth-teller,” or “someone who finds peace in helping others thrive.” But that's who we really are. Our culture tends to equate identity with productivity. From the time we're kids, we're asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” not “Who are you becoming?” That question plants the seed that our value lies in output, not in essence. But identity is far richer. It includes your values, your patterns, the way you naturally show up for people, and how you interpret the world around you. What energizes you? What makes you feel alive? These are the clues that point to your core identity, whether you're in the boardroom, the classroom, or between jobs. Let's go deeper: psychologists call this “narrative identity.” It's the internal story we tell ourselves about who we are and why we matter. And here's the kicker: it's not just based on our accomplishments. It's shaped by the meaning we assign to those moments. Did you show courage in a difficult season? Did you pivot when things fell apart? Those aren't just résumé gaps or achievements; they're identity anchors. If you've ever had a job loss, career shift, or even retirement, you may have felt the sudden “Who am I now?” freefall. That's what happens when our identity is overly fused with our role. But what if instead, we zoomed out and saw our careers as just one expression of who we are, not the whole story? That's what this episode is about. Helping you get reacquainted with yourself, not your skill set. Stop Making Work Your Identity How to Find Passion Outside of the Workplace How to Rediscover Yourself After a Major Change CHALLENGE: Stop leading with what you've done and start rediscovering who you truly are. Reconnect with the traits, values, and passions that make you you—and let those shine in everything you do. I Know YOU Can Do It!

Today, we're talking about a season that can feel both exciting and unsettling: the impending empty nest. When the kids leave home, whether it's for college, a career, or life on their own, your home suddenly feels quieter.

France is pivoting its tourism strategy to court higher-spending long-haul visitors from Asia, the Gulf, and North America, aiming to boost international tourism revenue by 41% by 2030 with a focus on longer, higher-quality stays. Despite record Northern European heat this summer, Visit Sweden says tourism impacts have been minimal so far, though climate projections warn the Nordics will warm faster than the global average. India and China agreed to restart direct flights after a five-year pause, signaling tentative thawing of ties, though no timeline has been announced.

What happens when the joy of pet sitting starts to fade into monotony? In this episode, we explore why the “ho-hum” feeling creeps in, from repetitive routines and emotional fatigue to physical exhaustion, isolation, and the comparison game on social media. We share how staying stuck in this flat season can impact client experience, dull attention to detail, and accelerate burnout. While monotony is a natural byproduct of sustained work, it doesn't have to define your business. By shifting perspective, setting micro-goals, refreshing routines, learning something new, and prioritizing real rest, you can reignite your motivation and keep showing up with purpose for pets and their people. Main Topics Why monotony shows up Risks of staying stuck Micro-goals to add novelty Reframing purpose and “why” Rest, learning, and experimentation Main takeaway: “Monotony isn't a sign that you don't care anymore. It's a natural byproduct of sustained, repetitive work.” If pet care feels flat, you're not broken—you're human. Start tiny: take a new route, set a micro-goal, or write today's update from the dog's point of view. Look for one new detail—different eyes, a funny ear curl, a new cue reinforced—and share it with the client. Reconnect with your “why”: this isn't just another walk; it's the highlight of a pet's day and peace of mind for their person. Rest on purpose, learn something new, and aim for just 1–5% better tomorrow.
