Podcasts about reframing

Description:  Jen revisits this fan favorite episode with Mel Robbins. Buckle up, listeners.  It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Indy Johar pointed to the first photographs of the whole Earth taken from space. “This was the moment the planet became self-aware." This planetary consciousness came with new responsibility, he argued. The task before us is not simply to survive, but to reimagine civilization as a planetary project. As climate and ecological instability creates extreme whiplash effects, we will find it increasingly difficult to predict, prepare, or govern at a global scale. And as artificial intelligence reshapes labor and value, Johar urged us all to reevaluate what it means to be human. So what does that require in a time of such intense, cascading volatility? Indy's answer is civilizational optionality: the breathing room that keeps futures open when shocks compound and our fates are systematically coupled. As humans, we can't know everything — it's a cognitive impossibility. “But there is a beautiful liberation in accepting our partial knowing,” he said. Reframing this limitation as possibility opens us up to more curiosity and “ways of being that are about tenderness, tentativeness, and care.” Johar imagines a future that leverages human–machine systems that expand our civilizational capacity for complex discourse and problem solving. Intelligence, in this view, is a conversational field: a meta-capacity for coordination, dialogue, and collective sense-making across sectors, species, and systems. Climate cascades will not be local; our planetary fates are entangled. Meeting this reality demands an approach to civilization that is capable of responding to volatility and holding uncertainty. As Johar said with a smile: “It is time to have a fucking worldview.”

What is consciousness — and how should biology explain it?In this second conversation with Professor Kevin Mitchell, we examine whether consciousness can be fully accounted for within physics alone — or whether biological organization introduces new levels of explanation.Mitchell develops a non-reductive naturalist framework in which organisms are genuine agents, higher-level causal structures matter, and subjectivity cannot be ignored in any adequate theory of mind.We explore:• What needs explaining when we talk about consciousness• The limits and strengths of physicalist reduction• Weak vs strong emergence• Biological organization as a causal framework• Downward causation and levels of explanation• Organisms as agents rather than passive mechanisms• The role of the conscious subject• Mental causation and explanatory gaps• Teleology in evolutionary systems• Whether artificial systems could instantiate subjectivityTIMESTAMPS:(0:00) – Introduction(0:32) – Kevin's Approach to Consciousness(1:12) – Consciousness and the Requirement of a Subject(3:59) – AI, Functionalism, & Biological Naturalism(7:37) – Embodiment, In-Mindedness & Experiential Bedrock(11:19) – Control Architectures, Attention, and Illusionism(15:21) – Selfhood Perspectives: Jennings, Graziano & Humphrey(19:08) – Temporal Continuity & Brains as Semantic Engines(23:03) – Top-Down Causation and Dynamical Self(27:00) – Levels of Selfhood & Autobiographical Continuity(30:43) – Neuroscience, Psychiatry & Emergent Mental Phenomena(38:15) – Altered Subjectivity & Embodiment in Injury(44:06) – Life, Consciousness, and AI Agents(50:23) – Philosophy, Science & Indeterminacy(56:28) – Neural Noise, Decision-Making & Agency(1:10:48) – Reasons, Choices & Moral Development(1:20:43) – Emergence, Transcendence & First-Person Neuroscience(1:26:50) – Kantian Structures & Perception(1:30:35) – Defining Mind & Relational Perspectives(1:34:52) – Final ThoughtsEPISODE LINKS:- Kevin's Round 1: https://youtu.be/UdlkYGbuD7Q- Kevin's Website: https://www.kjmitchell.com/- Kevin's Blog: http://www.wiringthebrain.com- Kevin's Books: https://tinyurl.com/2p9yjzxr- Kevin's Publications: https://tinyurl.com/mskdpvce- Kevin's Twitter: https://twitter.com/wiringthebrain- Consciousness needs a subject:https://philpapers.org/rec/MITCNA-2- Reframing the free will debate: the universe is not deterministic:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-026-05455-7- Beyond Mechanism—Extending Our Concepts of Causation in Neuroscience:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ejn.70064- Undetermined: Free will in real time and through time:https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=10358095- The origins of meaning - from pragmatic control signals to semantic representations:https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/dfkrvCONNECT:- Website: https://mindbodysolution.org - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@mindbodysolution- Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

What If You're Not Failing… You're Just Dysregulated? What if the exhaustion, irritability, and emotional fog you're feeling isn't a personal flaw—but a nervous system asking for support? In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore something we don't talk about enough: the difference between regulating yourself and trying to fix yourself.

This conversation is compassionate, practical, and deeply grounding—especially if you've been feeling emotionally fatigued or overstimulated. Inside This Conversation ✨ Why resetting your nervous system is foundational for emotional health ✨ The subtle signs of dysregulation (hint: it's not just panic) ✨ Why regulation is about safety—not self-improvement ✨ Micro-resets that don't require a life overhaul ✨ Breathing techniques that signal calm to your body ✨ Simple grounding exercises to reconnect with yourself ✨ Environmental shifts that create instant cues of safety ✨ Mental and emotional resets for moments of overwhelm ✨ “Emergency” techniques for when emotions spike ✨ Reframing self-care as kindness—not luxury Practical Tools We Share You'll walk away with simple, doable resets you can use today: Hand-on-heart breathing to signal safety Body-based grounding techniques Micro environmental shifts (light, scent, sound) Mental reframes to reduce emotional intensity Small resets that take 60 seconds—not a weekend retreat Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Podcasting and Captivate 00:26 Resetting the Nervous System 03:14 Understanding Regulation vs. Fixing 06:00 Micro Resets for Daily Life 08:57 Breath and Body Resets 11:39 Environmental and Mental Resets 14:34 Emergency Reset Techniques 17:11 Conclusion and Next Steps Connect With Us:

Today Michael welcomes back Light Watkins. Light is a bestselling author, speaker, meditation teacher, and host of The Light Watkins Show. He's known for practical teachings on presence, minimalism, and "tortoise-style" transformation—consistent, bite-size shifts that fit real life. His books include Bliss More, Travel Light, and his newest, The Year You Transform. He's spoken for Fortune 500 companies, leads a global community (The Happiness Insiders), and even lived five years from a single backpack to walk his talk (you can watch his previous TBYM episode on that here: https://youtu.be/J26_6xo2Rvs?si=zcBw3EIuOnK0wRZe)  Conversation Highlights include: -Reframing change as something you accommodate and practice, not a dramatic life overhaul. -The "tortoise approach" as a way to bring the experience you want into your current life instead of chasing it somewhere else. -Habits designed for busy days so it's easy to show up consistently even when time is tight. -Minimalism in practice means removing what doesn't serve, so attention and energy return to what matters. -Process over outcome—where steady preparation lets inspiration take the mic when it matters most. -Presence instead of escapism by telling true aspiration from crisis-driven impulse, and acting from calm clarity. -Simple, repeatable practices that produce improvements you can measure—not just feel-good moments. -A try-along sequence using breath and stillness to settle the nervous system in minutes. -Ten micro-challenges that build adaptability through small, daily doses of healthy discomfort. -A no-complaints week that reveals hidden negativity loops and invites a more generous way of speaking. Next, Michael leads a guided meditation that leaves you grounded, clear, and ready to act from what's Real.

William McGrath is CEO of C suite pension strategies. He has a financial and industrial sector background and was a longtime CEO of AGA range master. He has an honorary doctorate from Birmingham City University for work to sustain the relevance of the Midlands industrial heritage. He returned to the financial sector after 25 years working in industry.In our discussion we trace William's own career path and the source of his interest in pensions and the financial sector more generally. Moving then to his current perspective on pension funds at  C Suite Pension Strategies, he discusses the importance of corporate pensions, emphasizing that they should be seen as a corporate wealth fund rather than a burden. He highlights that there is still £1.2 trillion in private sector investments in the UK, advocating for a "run on" strategy over "buyout." William criticizes the lack of scrutiny in actuarial work and calls for better regulation and oversight of some of the workings of this sector. Overall he emphasizes the importance of a "members first" approach which puts member interests at the center of pension fund governance.   We move then to broader governance issues and we talk in some detail about his experience in leadership at Aga and getting back to his love of history and the industrial heartland refers us to “Aga, Allied and Ogilvy – The Management of Groups”, which contains remarkable Boardroom records of a group of allied iron founders seeking to integrate businesses between the 1930s and 1950s – https://homehearthistory.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/aga-allied-ogilvy-book.pdfThis podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital.

Healing isn't always a straight line, and sometimes the most profound shifts come from the places we least expect. In this heart-to-heart episode, Dr. Jen peels back the layers on her personal journey with Medical Medium (Anthony William). From her initial skepticism rooted in a traditional religious upbringing to the moment his book Thyroid Healing landed on her doorstep during her darkest health crisis, Dr. Jen shares how his protocols became the foundation of her autoimmune recovery. She dives deep into his approach—explaining why his nutritional wisdom is world-class, but why she believes in stacking it with modern tools like Bioidentical Hormones, Peptides, and Plant Medicine. Whether you're a "celery juice devotee" or someone feeling stuck in a "protocol box," this episode is an invitation to use your own spiritual discernment. Dr. Jen challenges us to move past the fear of "doing it wrong" and instead embrace a flexible, empowered path to wellness that honors both ancient food wisdom and cutting-edge integrative medicine. Themes: Overcoming religious and medical "boxes" to find what actually heals. Why Medical Medium's nutritional protocols are the best starting point for chronic illness. How to combine Anthony William's wisdom with Peptides, Bioidenticals, and Methylene Blue. Learning to listen to your body and the Holy Spirit over any single "guru" or influencer. Reframing autoimmune disease as a soul-awakening journey rather than a genetic mistake.   Connect with Jen: 

Send a textFive days into deployment as a Marine infantry officer, a live-fire training accident severed Captain Patrick Nugent's sciatic nerve and paralyzed his right leg. What most people called “the worst thing that could ever happen” became the turning point for everything that came next.Patrick is a Marine veteran, Invictus Games athlete, Harvard Kennedy School and Wharton grad, Boston Consulting Group consultant, and future Paralympic hopeful. And in this episode of Consequence of Habit, he joins JT to talk about grit, habits, and cognitive reappraisal: the ability to literally rewrite the story you tell yourself about adversity.Patrick walks through the injury, the brutal recovery at Walter Reed, and the decision to treat his situation not as an ending, but as an opening. They dig into keystone habits, goal-tracking, stoic philosophy, and why believing “this might be the best thing that ever happened to me” changed his life. If you're facing something that feels defining or impossible, this conversation will give you a new lens, and a roadmap. - - - - - - - - - - -Support Consequence of HabitSubscribe: Apple Podcast | SpotifyCheck us out: Instagram | Twitter | WebsiteThe show is Produced and Edited by Palm Tree Pod Co.

In this free live masterclass, I connect the dots between women's healthspan, chronic stress, and the biological cost of living out of alignment. Even when your habits look "healthy."  I talk about why the longevity conversation has been dominated by male-centered frameworks, and what happens when women override their intuition for years (in work, relationships, family dynamics, and daily decisions). This is an invitation to stop treating intuition like a "soft" topic—and start seeing it as a health input that shapes inflammation, hormones, nervous system regulation, and long-term vitality.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down how to “cut the line” in life and business using the same principle behind amusement park fast passes. Drawing from his own journey—from hating long lines to hacking his way into faster growth—he explains the mindset and identity shifts that let you skip years of unnecessary waiting. If you've ever felt stuck, behind, or like success is taking too long, this episode lays out a practical roadmap to move quicker toward the life and income you actually want.​ On this episode we talk about: Why Travis always buys the Fast Pass at theme parks and how that applies to life and money​ The power of changing your identity before your actions and habits​ Why valuing time over money is a critical shortcut to success​ How expanding your comfort zone unlocks your next level​ Reframing fear from rejection and embarrassment to long-term regret​ The importance of upgrading your circle to people who've “been there, done that”​ Top 3 Takeaways Change your identity first. Decide who you are (reader, runner, entrepreneur, leader) and let your actions follow that new identity instead of waiting for evidence before you believe it.​ Value time more than money. Money is only useful for what you exchange it for, and using it to buy back time is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your growth.​ Upgrade your environment—your comfort zone, your fears, and your circle. Getting around people ahead of you can save you months or years of trial and error with a few simple “tweaks.”​ Notable Quotes “We have a psychological desire to act in consistency with who we believe ourselves to be.”​ “If you're not actively using your money to buy back your time, you're probably using both ineffectively.”​ “Would you rather be right or would you rather be successful?”​ Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/travischappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Website: https://www.travischappell.com​ Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe Blaskey is joined by broadcaster and journalist Emma Barnett for a deeply honest conversation about early motherhood, identity, and what really happens to us when we become mothers. Emma shares the reframe that changed everything for her: moving from the idea of maternity leave to maternity service. A season where you are always on call, constantly adapting, sacrificing parts of yourself, and often expected to carry on without much language for how profound that experience really is. Together, Zoe and Emma talk about those early months – the walking, the exhaustion, the heatwaves, the survival mode – and the surprising way creativity can sometimes re-emerge in the middle of it all. Not because motherhood is easy, or beautiful, or calm – but because so much else has been stripped back. They explore the tension so many mothers feel: how maternity can be deeply depleting and, at the same time, quietly expansive. How there can be grief for who you were, uncertainty about who you're becoming, and moments of clarity that feel almost shocking when you're in the trenches. This is also a conversation about what we're missing culturally – the lack of space, language and stories for matrescence. Not parenting advice. Not baby manuals.

You'll align your subconscious with the frequency of prosperity, ease, and expansion, creating space for abundance to flow toward you with less effort and more trust. Inside this session, you'll experience: – A calming induction to quiet resistance and create openness – Releasing subconscious blocks around money and receiving – Alignment with the energy of prosperity, ease, and overflow – Reframing abundance as supportive, generous, and expansive – A grounding integration that leaves you feeling open, worthy, and supported This session will help you use the Law of Attraction to shift how you've been calling in abundance — allowing it to fill and overflow your life, and naturally ripple out to benefit the people and spaces around you.

Overview There is a specific kind of frustration that does not look dramatic from the outside: you are doing the work, you are buying the tools, you are trying to keep up, and somehow things feel harder, not easier. You are not "behind," you are managing a system that is quietly becoming unmanageable. In 2026, the gap between what you know you should do and what you can realistically maintain is where a lot of businesses get misread. And when your backend is messy, your signal gets messy too.

Send us a textLeadership isn't theory — it's built under pressure, tested in adversity, and proven through service. In this episode, Steven sits down with Eric Everard, a veteran leader whose career spans military health systems, enterprise IT transformation, and high-level wrestling coaching.With over 25 years of experience in process improvement and organizational leadership, Eric brings a rare combination of Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt expertise, health informatics innovation, agile project management, and USA Wrestling Gold-level coaching. From leading strategic initiatives in the U.S. Army and Colorado Military Health System to founding Crywolf Wrestling, Eric's work sits at the intersection of performance, culture, and human development.The conversation moves far beyond sport.Eric breaks down how military leadership principles translate to youth athletics, why structured leadership development is the missing piece in most programs, and how culture takes 5–7 years to truly build — longer than most coaches stay. He explains his three-step leadership progression model, how to create athlete ownership without losing standards, and why coaches must shift from controllers to enablers.They tackle hard topics that impact performance and health: • The performance and neurological risks of aggressive weight cutting • Practical strategies for healthy weight management • Emotional regulation tools for teenagers under pressure • Reframing anxiety into readiness • How to build courage by allowing struggle in a safe environmentEric also shares his mission to grow women's wrestling, outlining ways programs can better support female athletes through environment, coaching representation, training adjustments, and injury prevention. His approach centers on inclusion without lowering standards — building confidence through competence.The discussion closes with powerful reflections on coach ego, accountability, athlete empowerment, and why a coach's real legacy is measured in long-term relationships, not win totals. Eric's personal story, including overcoming a stroke during the pandemic, reinforces his belief that discipline is not punishment — it's a tool for growth.This episode is a masterclass in leadership under pressure, culture building, and developing resilient athletes and humans.Who this is for: Coaches, strength professionals, wrestling leaders, and anyone responsible for building culture, developing young people, and leading with both structure and empathy.https://youtube.com/@platesandpancakes4593https://instagram.com/voodoo4power?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=https://voodoo4ranch.com/To possibly be a guest or support the show email Voodoo4ranch@gmail.comhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/voodoo4ranch

Hospitality can feel overwhelming when life is already full, but it doesn't have to be complicated or perfect to be meaningful. In this conversation, we talk about how different seasons of motherhood shape our capacity for hosting, why community grows through small, intentional invitations, and how letting go of perfection makes space for genuine connection. We share practical, low-pressure ideas for opening your home like simple food, flexible spaces, repeatable traditions, and involving the whole family. We hope you'll find that these strategies make hospitality feel life-giving instead of burdensome! In this episode, we cover: - Navigating different stages of motherhood under one roof and how age gaps gradually change daily rhythms - Why hosting flows best from margin and why you shouldn't feel guilty if it's not your season for entertaining - Growing community intentionally instead of waiting for it to happen, even when it feels vulnerable - Letting go of the idea that hosting always means a full dinner– embracing snacks, brunches, playdates, and themed gatherings instead - Pantry-friendly, budget-conscious meal ideas that scale easily and accommodate different dietary needs without added stress - Creative hosting themes and simple twists that make gatherings memorable without requiring elaborate prep - Using your home's basement, outdoor space, or even a single table to create the right atmosphere for both kids and adults - Regular home systems that support hospitality (even last-minute), including decluttering, minimizing decision fatigue, and spreading prep throughout the week - Why repeating the same meals or annual gatherings isn't boring and how tradition actually reduces hosting overwhelm - Involving the whole family in hosting to make hospitality sustainable and practical ideas for how kids can contribute - Releasing perfectionism around cleanup and learning to enjoy guests without feeling “on duty” the entire time - Reframing hospitality away from self-focus and toward generosity, presence, and making people feel genuinely welcomed View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Growth does not break down because chiropractors lack passion. It breaks down because conversion systems and metrics are either unclear, slow, or unmanaged. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down the exact conversion and sales metrics that separate busy offices from scalable, profitable businesses, and why mastering them is no longer optional in 2026. They unpack how speed, clarity, and conviction drive patient commitment, how operational KPIs translate into real revenue, and why recurring metrics reveal the true health of your business. This conversation reframes conversion as belief transformation, sales as service, and growth as a measurable, repeatable outcome.In This Episode You Will:Break down which conversion numbers actually matter and which ones are noiseWalk through the five KPIs that determine whether patients commit or disappearUnderstand why speed, timing, and follow-up now decide conversion outcomesSee how recurring revenue reveals the true health of your businessIdentify the knowledge gaps that quietly cap your growthEpisode Highlights01:15 – Why this episode marks the shift from marketing conversations into conversion and sales as the next growth constraint08:09 – How ROI should be evaluated through lifetime value, not short-term expense09:33 – The financial reality of stagnation and why not growing creates compounding problems10:26 – Redefining success benchmarks and why three million has become the new one million14:37 – The core truth that frames the episode: you can only help the people you convert15:02 – Reframing sales as care, conviction, and responsibility rather than persuasion18:05 – Breaking down attraction, conversion, and retention as a sequential operational system25:28 – Introducing the Rule of 72 and how speed now determines conversion outcomes30:14 – What actually drives Day One to Day Two follow-through and patient commitment36:15 – Translating conversion into business health through recurring and reactivated revenue Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Business Immersion March 6 - 7, 2026 in Phoenix, AZ and March 20 - 21, 2026 in Brisbane, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/Golden Ticket Giveaway to the Upcoming Immersion - DM the words ‘Podcast Business Immersion' on The TRP Instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/theremarkablepractice/To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceoBook a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPCPrefer to watch?

Sports betting is exploding across the country. With online platforms, mobile apps, and aggressive marketing, it's never been easier to gamble — or easier to hide it. What many view as harmless entertainment may actually be reshaping how we think about money, community, and even discipleship.Pastor and author Kyle Worley—Lead Pastor of Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas, co-host of the Knowing Faith podcast, and author of Home with God: Our Union with Christ—recently wrote on this growing trend for Faithful Steward magazine. Today, he joins the show to explain why the rise of sports gambling deserves more careful thought from believers.A Different Kind of GamblingSports gambling carries a unique appeal. Unlike casinos or the lottery, it taps into nostalgia, play, and community.“Sports connect to childhood memories and communal experiences,” Worley notes. “That nostalgia makes sports betting feel natural, even harmless.”The danger lies in how subtly wagering attaches itself to something already meaningful—games shared with friends, family, or childhood heroes—making it easier to dismiss spiritual risks.What Does Scripture Actually Say?The Bible does not explicitly outlaw gambling. But it repeatedly warns against the desire for quick, hasty gain. Worley points to 1 Timothy 6:9–10, noting that it speaks directly to the temptations and destruction tied to wealth pursued rapidly and without wisdom. Gambling fits that pattern.Scripture's concern is not merely financial but formational. Gambling trains us to view wealth through the lens of chance, speed, and self-interest—the opposite of stewardship, patience, and contentment.The spiritual stakes aren't just internal. They are profoundly communal. Worley cites Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke:“The righteous disadvantage themselves for the sake of the community; the unrighteous advantage themselves at the expense of the community.”Modern betting apps are built on asymmetric outcomes—they profit only because others lose. And statistically, those losses fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.Many platforms use predatory models:Winners face worse odds or even shuttered accountsConsistent losers are enticed with better odds and larger limitsWorley compares it to handing a chainsaw to a child—unjust simply because not everyone absorbs the harm equally.Normalization and Cultural FormationSports gambling has moved from taboo to mainstream with startling speed. Betting lines now appear on ESPN, broadcasts, and social media—even during youth-oriented sports programming.The result: a generation being formed to see gambling as normal and morally neutral.Worley warns that where gambling proliferates, other forms of exploitation follow — including human trafficking during major sporting events. While the Bible may speak indirectly about gambling, it speaks directly about exploitation.Some point to the biblical practice of casting lots as justification for gambling. Worley draws a sharp distinction:Casting lots was a religious act of trust—not a wager. It carried no profit motive and served no entertainment purpose. Reframing it as support for modern gambling misunderstands its role entirely.How Churches Can Disciple BetterFor pastors and ministry leaders, Worley offers three recommendations:Talk More About Money - Many Christians lack a positive theology of wealth. That vacuum leaves them vulnerable to cultural narratives.Address “Respectable” Vices - Gambling isn't the only fun, socially accepted vice that harms stewardship. Churches must disciple beyond obvious sins.Create Healthy Avenues for Play and Connection - Sports betting offers counterfeit community, especially for men. Churches should provide better alternatives.The Wisdom Required TodayIn the end, debates about whether gambling is technically permissible miss the deeper biblical question: Does this help me love God and neighbor well?Worley's counsel is simple: navigate these decisions in community, under Scripture, with wisdom. Quick profit is never neutral—it forms us. And it shapes the people around us.As sports betting continues to surge, Christians will need more than opinions. They will need conviction, clarity, and a vision of stewardship that honors God and protects the vulnerable.———————————————————————————————————————Kyle Worley's full article, “The Real Stakes of Sports Betting,” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

4 Simple Ways to Stay Rooted in God's Word When Life Is Too Busy (No Extra Time Needed)  Struggling to stay in the Bible as a busy working mom? You're juggling work deadlines, kids' schedules, meals, laundry, and that endless mental load... and your quiet time often gets pushed aside. The guilt creeps in: "I should be reading the Word more," but the day feels impossible. Friend, God isn't keeping score—He's inviting you into His presence right in the middle of the chaos. In this encouraging episode, I share 4 simple, grace-filled ways to stay rooted in Scripture without adding more to your plate—no complicated routines, no guilt, just real nourishment for your soul. These practical shifts fit your real life as a Christian working mom, helping combat overwhelm, mom guilt, and spiritual dryness. Rooted in verses like Isaiah 26:3, Matthew 11:28, and 2 Corinthians 12:9, you'll walk away reminded that one intentional encounter with God's Word is enough when it's fueled by His grace. Perfect for back-to-school busyness, heavy seasons, or anytime you feel "too busy for God." Key Takeaways for Busy Christian Moms - You're not failing if devotions aren't long—small, consistent doses nourish deeply. - Micro-moments of whispered verses in transitions build roots over time. - Audio Scripture lets the Word come to you during laundry, commutes, or carpool. - Habit stacking ties God's Word to what you already do—no new "to-dos." - Release guilt: His grace is sufficient, and faithfulness > perfection.

Jealousy isn't always about fear of losing your partner. Sometimes it's about losing yourself. In this episode, April and Scott share a real, recent story from their open-relationship journey that completely reframed what jealousy can mean—and it leads to a breakthrough concept they call “imposed burdens.”After Scott goes on a separate date (with April's full consent and clear emotional parameters), April is surprised by a familiar “pit in the stomach”… but it isn't abandonment, comparison, or panic. It's something quieter and more revealing: envy of the freedom Scott has to play, explore, and dream—because she's carrying the invisible weight of life logistics, emotional labor, and household admin. The conversation turns into a powerful (and practical) exploration of how “freedom” in a relationship can be technically true while still being impossible to access.They also unpack why the phrase “reclaiming your partner” gives them the ick—and why “reclamation sex” can sometimes smuggle in ownership, control, or reassurance-seeking disguised as intimacy. Instead, they share what reconnection looks like for them (spoiler: it's more about presence, honesty, and nervous-system safety than performing a ritual).If you've ever felt jealous and couldn't explain why… if you're doing “the work” but still feel stuck… or if you've wondered whether rules are helping you heal or just helping you avoid… this one will hit.Plus: a behind-the-scenes update on their upcoming Wild Love Theory book release, the new Wild Love Book Circle, and their April retreat in the Smoky Mountains.Website:www.NaughtyGym.comUpcoming Events:1.

In this episode of Tailgate Talks, I sit down with M.J. James, author of Heal the Hustle, for an honest and timely conversation about burnout, productivity culture, and what it really means to live—and lead—well. Many of us were taught that hustle equals success. Work harder. Push longer. Rest later. But what happens when that mindset starts to cost us our health, relationships, creativity, and joy? M.J. challenges the traditional hustle narrative and offers a healthier, more sustainable way forward—especially for leaders, high performers, and purpose-driven professionals who care deeply about their work. Together, we talk about: How hustle culture quietly leads to burnout The difference between ambition and exhaustion Why rest is not a reward—it's a requirement Reframing productivity to include health and humanity Practical ways leaders can model balance without losing effectiveness How healing the hustle creates stronger teams, better decisions, and longer careers This conversation is especially relevant for public servants, park and recreation professionals, nonprofit leaders, and anyone who feels called to serve—but doesn't want to lose themselves in the process. If you've ever felt tired, stretched thin, or wondered, "Is this pace really sustainable?"—this episode is for you. About the Guest M.J. James is the author of Heal the Hustle and a passionate advocate for redefining success in a world that glorifies burnout. Through her work, she helps individuals and organizations rethink productivity, prioritize well-being, and build lives rooted in purpose—not constant pressure.

In this episode, procurement advisor and former procurement and supply chain executive Sergio Martin explains what it takes to deliver that value. Sergio shares practical stories from his experience at companies like Burberry and Dyson, explores what it means to move beyond "cost control," and reveals why empathy, expertise, and credibility are non-negotiable. In this episode, Sergio discusses: Defining the idea of a "customer" for stakeholders and suppliers Shifting procurement's mindset from savings to growth Building credibility through continuous expertise Becoming the customer of choice for innovation and resilience Links: Sergio Martin on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube  

What if the pyramids were never meant to be tombs at all? In today's conversation with Geoffrey Drumm,  @thelandofchem  , we explore a radical but physically grounded hypothesis: that ancient Egyptian pyramids functioned as industrial machines, integrating chemistry, pressure, materials science, and natural electricity at monumental scale. Drawing on experimental models, geological evidence, and global architectural parallels, the discussion reframes ancient civilization not as primitive or symbolic, but as deeply practical and technologically fluent. If true, this view doesn't romanticize the past, it forces us to reconsider how much functional knowledge about nature has been lost, misclassified, or misunderstood.Part 2: https://youtu.be/gTNB3yHMNIcPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

This experience gently guides you into a relaxed, receptive state where old stories around money and worth begin to soften and release.

You'll align your subconscious with the frequency of prosperity, ease, and expansion, creating space for abundance to flow toward you with less effort and more trust. Inside this session, you'll experience: – A calming induction to quiet resistance and create openness – Releasing subconscious blocks around money and receiving – Alignment with the energy of prosperity, ease, and overflow – Reframing abundance as supportive, generous, and expansive – A grounding integration that leaves you feeling open, worthy, and supported This session will help you use the Law of Attraction to shift how you've been calling in abundance — allowing it to fill and overflow your life, and naturally ripple out to benefit the people and spaces around you.

Episode 1948: Cal Newport challenges the romanticized notion of quitting your job to "follow your passion" and instead champions a more grounded path to career satisfaction. By becoming exceptionally good at something valuable and using that leverage to shape a better work life, individuals can often find fulfillment without starting over or sacrificing stability.

"The Career Craftsman approach is less sexy than the standard thinking on career happiness, but it recognizes the economic reality of satisfaction." "Great jobs are rare and valuable, which means you have to offer value in return."
