“When most people think of grief they think of coping with a loss like death. But grieving happens when you're dealing with any loss– the loss of a friendship, a job, a chapter in your life, or, in this case, the loss felt after a breakup.” I'm opening up about healing from heartache following a breakup.After my two-year relationship ended in 2022, I was heartbroken. Not only was I grieving the loss of that relationship and the future I'd imagined, but I was also faced with the reality that I was newly single at 30 while most of my friends were married or in long-term relationships. In this episode, I speak vulnerably about how I coped with the five stages of grief, the steps I took to find myself again and the lessons I learned from that relationship– all of which helped me find healing, hope and happiness.RESOURCES & REFERENCES:- Listen to “Surviving Saturn's Return: ‘I Quit My Job and Moved Across the Country.' - with Raven Brinson Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE- Listen to “Sober Curious: Binge-Drinking, Bad Decisions, Blacking Out and Re-Evaluating My Relationship with Alcohol” Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HEREConnect with Astrocandy:Website: astrocandypodcast.comInstagram: HEREJoin the Astrocandy Social Club HERESign up for our free weekly newsletter HEREAbout Astrocandy:Host Raven Brinson invites you on a mission of self-exploration and discovery through spiritual and mystical topics like astrology; holistic healing and wellness; manifestation; mindfulness and meditation; human design; chakra balancing and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astrocandy--4556333/support.

The Osmonds reached what was arguably the peak of their fame in 1973. That year, the band made what many considered an interesting decision and released “The Plan,” a landmark album that explored the eternal nature of God's plan and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation. Alan Osmond almost always sang backup vocals but, as the oldest of the Osmond brothers, was in many ways the leader of the brothers' group and the writer of many of the Osmonds' songs. In this episode, Alan shares the inspiration behind “The Plan” as we celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the album.  “We're not ashamed of the gospel and that's why I just can't be quiet about it.”  Show Notes 1:46- Beginnings8:10- Sharing the Gospel Through Music14:31- A Rock Opera 28:06- Osmondmania34:59- Support of the Church41:48- Multiple Sclerosis47:51- Elvis and the Queen49:57- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Links & References: Listen to “The Plan” album in fullThe Plan Promo videoLDS Living stories about The OsmondsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sy Snarr's son, Zachary Snarr, was a senior in high school when he was shot and killed by a complete stranger. After 17 years in prison, Jorge Benvenuto, the man who killed Zachary, wrote a letter to tell the Snarr family that he was sorry for taking their 18-year-old son and brother's life. What happened next captivated listeners of KSL's “The Letter” podcast and, on this week's episode of “All In,” we explore the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ that is woven throughout the Snarr family's remarkable example of forgiveness.  Show Notes 2:34- Before3:57- Regret7:15- The Bind of Bitterness12:45- Who Hate Hurts15:47- You Have To Want It18:12- The Sacrament Talk That Changed Everything20:38- Losing a Second Son23:29- The Very Real Pain of Loss25:51- Jorge32:21- Since the Letter36:34- Atonement For All40:34- A Spiritual Experience43:50- What Does It Mean To Be All in? “My soul was tortured, it was broken with this anguish I carried…and the way you [forgive] is you fight back, you turn to God, you turn to the Savior, you pray a lot and let Them guide you.” —Sy Snarr Links & References:  Listen to The Letter podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In her freshman year as a vocal performance major, Emma Nissen received devastating news. Just nine weeks into her studies, she learned that her vocal cords were damaged and required surgery. She very easily could've felt, in that moment, that everything she'd worked for was falling apart. But she remembered a prompting she had earlier that week—a prompting to serve a mission—and how she'd told the Lord if he'd create a window of time for her to serve, she'd go. So she went and the rest, as they say, is history. On this week's episode, we talk with Emma Nissen about how God's window opened a door for her to share her music in a way she never could've dreamed possible.  Show Notes 2:16- A Musical Family10:00- God Opens a Window14:49- Music On a Mission37:08- Faith Reconstruction49:43- Guided51:49- What Does It Mean to Be All In?  “I like to think that the Spirit and I can banter.” —Emma Nissen Links & References: Listen to Emma on Spotify “Hear Him” new music videoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, the Spotlight shines On Canadian producer and sound artist Michael Scott Dawson.Michael joined us to mark the release of his third solo album, Find Yourself Lost, a collection of country-adjacent, Western-themed ambient recordings issued by Toronto label We Are Busy Bodies. This album is ethereal without being space music and is steeped in melody, tape loops, and Michael's own field recordings. He has made an emotional, never sterile, ambient work. You can visit this episode's show notes for links to the music.Despite the album's personal nature, which Michael discusses, Find Yourself Lost is also the first time he has included other musical contributors to one of his solo albums, something we also learn about in this conversation.

Today, the Spotlight shines On guitarist Dominic Miller, a musician unique in his ability to fit in and contribute as a sideman, but also to step up as a band leader.Dominic may be best known as guitarist — and in his own words, “Lieutenant” — for Sting, a position he has filled for over 30 years, but he has been creating his own diverse body of work for many decades as well. Dominic joined Spotlight On to talk about his latest release on ECM Records, Vagabond, an instrumental album rich in narrative — and subtle taste. In addition to exploring the new album, we also get great insight into how Dominic's work as a solo artist and session musician contributes to his work with Sting and more about his aspirations and aims as an artist.

 I've been doing a bunch of sales calls for the Alchemical BUsiness Intensive, and there's been a recurring theme:Whether people are at $15 a month in revenue or $30,000 a month in revenue, there is a consistent lack of focus and using more (more projects, to-dos, social media channels) to cover up business or personal issues.This is a problem if you want to create a business that isn't running your life.And it has a lot to do with time.One example:A woman I talked with doesn;t have fully booked 1:1 session, and she's undercharging. So there's this lack of revenue, resources, and influx of cash coming into her business.At the same time, she's launched two group programs and didn't hit either of her goals for those.So she's putting a lot of energy into her business promoting all these services. There's a huge energy leak in this.Not only does she have a wide range of offerings, but these are a bunch of different things to promote and marketing channels.She already knows the 80% of her clients come from one affiliate source.But instead of focusing on that, she's spreading out her energy through all these other channels. The result is that she's exhausted and she's not seeing massive results.As humans, we tned to make our life harder than it needs to be. This is often to cover up trauma or avoid scary things.If youre someone who's using business to avoid dealing with d epression, anxiety, or trauma… or you want to avoid a marriage you're dissatisfied with… or your body is in a lot of pain and you want to avoid that... there are so many ways we can use time-sucking projects to procrastinate from addressing these.This includes your business. It might mean putting off raising your prices or launching the podcast you know would serve you by putting energy into other parts of your business that aren't serving you.What you want to do instead is focus.That looks like choosing one social media channel or one lead source.If most of your business came in through referrals, put your energy in there instead of burning out on Instagram.Obviously, as you get fully booked and you want to continue growing your business, expanding your marketing is a great idea.But first you have to get there.Focus on one offer at a timeIf you're a course creator, make the course you have incredibly potent, so you give your clients incredible results every time they go through it.Get really clear on what you and your team needs to do to make it run more smoothly.Automate as much as possible.Make that one offer as efficient as possible.Think of marketing and delivery as on a seesaw. Marketing and sales on one side, delivery on the other side.As you put more time and energy into marketing and sales, it's going to naturally fill up the delivery side.But if you overfill the delivery side and overestimate how much you can deliver on, suddenly you aren't spending any time on marketing and sales. And then when you're doing delivering to your clients on that side… there are no new clients to serve because you haven't been putting time into your marketing and sales.This is what creates the feast or famine mode.You don't want to be overfilled on the delivery side.What gets you out of this is…...making sure you're pricing things correctly....becoming more efficient at delivering results for your clients....systematizing your online course.When you do this, And your offers will become more scalable.Commit to not being busyBeing busy is a choice. Really.Are you being strategic in how you use your time?Are you saying no to things that don't matter?Are you focusing on the things that are actually moving the needle forward?Committing to not being busy includes ruthlessly cutting out the projects or systems or habits that you're doing, or that your team is doing, that don't actually matter.Is instagram actually getting you clients? Or are you spending 10-20 hours a week on there without getting any clients? If you do get clients from there, can you get more efficient on it?The next step is ruthlessly delegating what you don't need to do.After you cut things out, delegate what needs to be done but you don't need to do. Hand over admin and customer service tasks that are important to your business to your team.Allow yourself to be supported and be willing to communicate what you need to the people who are supporting you.Then, review.Review what's working and not working.Get really clear on how you and your team are spending your time.What works and what doesn't work? What actually has a return on investment?And get clear on why you are putting certain things off.Maybe it's because you're scared, or you're having a trauma response.Often the things we put off are happening because there's an underlying issue, or they don't actually need to happen and can be cut.Focus is a magical practiceYour attention is sacred.When we are actually focusing on things, what will bubble up are things you need to address.Image the sun coming down on the earth on a sunny day, hitting everything in your neighborhood.When you take a magnifying glass, it focuses that ray of sunlight. And then you can burn an ant or a hole in a leaf, whatever… with that same sunlight that's already dispersing around your neighborhood.Because you are focusing all that sun's energy in one spot.The same goes for your attention.If you're choosing to focus on one project for this quarter, this big focus for the month, and you're committed to not busying yourself with other things, like checking your DMs 100 times a day…...what will bubble up in your free time is stuff that actually needs to be addressed.That's powerful healing.And all it takes is your focused attention.Blocking your growthHow can you grow another 50%? 100%?If you're already exhausted and too busy… you're not going to.You won't be able to handle it. And you'll be too busy or tired for your best ideas to come through.You need to give time and spaciousness for your best ideas, the divine to channel through you.Or an extra hour to problem-solve or think about a better way to communicate your offer and get your clients results. That's a much better use of time than scrolling on social media or checking your email 10 times a day.Plus…When we multitask, it lowers our IQ 15 points.And it takes us 15 minutes to get back to what we were working on in the first place.So maybe don't stop writing that blog post to check your email.Your brain literally will not work at its fullest capacity.Think you're good at multitasking? Studies have shown the 2.5% of the population can process multiple tasks at once.So maybe you are actually good at it… but more than likely, you aren't.And the average employee is only productive less than 3 hours a day.Get willing to master time and cut out the distractions so you can avoid this.Let's take a look at the big pictureOn a micro level, there are tasks like checking email, writing blog posts, content creation, all those things that need to happen in your business on a daily or weekly basis.But on a macro level, you can focus your priorities over a month or one quarter…...and that's going to make you way more productive.Because you'll be focusing on your main goals. You'll always be looking ahead and tapping into your big picture goals.Do this exercise todaySet your top 1 - 3 tasks on your to-do list before bed (or tomorrow in the morning when you wake up, before you start working).Then when you start working, turn your phone on airplane mode until those tasks are done.That's how you master time ;)References:Listen to the episode on mastering time: Playing with Time

We called this episode The Heart of Creativity because these two incredible and talented ladies lead with their heart.  These two episodes were raw and vulnerable and speak to the WHY of being a creative.  The Heart that drives them comes out in almost every syllable.  We chose The Heart of Creativity because as a creative you feel this insatiable pull to create, it is in your blood.  Kimberly Palmer and  Dionne Khadija share their journey from its infant stages until today. The encouragement you will gain is worth going back and listening to the full episodes.  We can honestly say that this series was the beginning of a whole mindset shift for the two of us.  We are firm believers that everything happens for a reason and this series was a turning point for us as a couple, and for Project Roots and Wings.  We created this podcast as a place for people to share their stories.  We feel strongly that this podcast is an agent of change and that the individuals that listen will be impacted exactly how they are supposed to be. It is our hope and prayer that you will feel seen and that your desire to step into your optimal existence is one step away from creation.

If you remember how bad the coronavirus pandemic was in the US about a year ago, right now in India … it’s worse. In fact, it’s the worst outbreak the world has seen since the beginning of the pandemic. People are turning to Twitter and Facebook to ask for help, crowdsource medical supplies, and demand the government take better action. But then some of their posts disappeared ... at the request of the government. Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauchamp) explains. References:  Listen to the Worldly episode about the Covid-19 crisis in India.
